128. Blood draw
“I succeeded in bullying you.”
“Even if I did, I wouldn’t last a few minutes.”
About 10 minutes ago.
Kang Seung-hyun and his party ran out of the infirmary to avoid Gordius’ eyes.
“I will come after you soon.”
LePeni glanced behind her and said.
I knocked down the wall and caught him, but 5-6 minutes would be the limit.
“5 minutes? That’s enough.”
When Seunghyun Kang activated the skill, a translucent needle appeared in his hand.
[Blood sampling]
[Blood sampling] is a skill that allows you to draw blood by inserting a needle into the opponent’s body and risking ‘bleeding’.
Although it looks useful for offense, it is not suitable for fighting because stamina continues to decrease while drawing blood.
Pak!
[Abnormal status ‘bleeding’ state!]
When the blood sampling needle was inserted into Le Peny’s arm, the translucent needle turned red and began to draw blood. There is no need to worry about contamination because the extracted blood goes into the inventory.
“I don’t have time, so I’ll keep it simple.”
Kang Seung-hyun explained the plan with [Blood Drawing].
“There is a high probability that simply throwing blood and spraying it will fail.”
“I guess. Either dodge it at high speed or call the scarab to block it.”
“So I intend to fool him.”
[Fria’s bond bag]
[Generates magic repellent blood arrows.]
Originally, magic repellent blood cannot be processed with skills due to its characteristics, but Kang Seung-hyeon, who has no magical power, ignored the characteristics of blood and made it into an arrow.
“This is a magic repellent blood arrow. It’s made with Le Peny’s blood.”
“An arrow made of my blood?”
Outwardly, it is no different from an ordinary arrow.
However, if you use the skill after getting hit by even one arrow,
“the same effect as when you come into contact with a magic repulsor will appear.”
Not only does the skill I was trying to activate cancel, but an explosion occurs along with the backflow of magical power.
It is almost impossible to block with skills, and the more magic you possess, the stronger the damage.
“No matter how great a guy is, if you use magic, you can neutralize it 100%.”
Of course, the boss monster was no exception.
“The problem is to hit the arrow… is that possible?”
“We have to make it possible.”
Pak!
[Blood draw]
Kang Seung-hyeon inserted a blood collection needle into his arm.
“With this guy.”
[Abnormal status ‘bleeding’ state!]
Likewise, the blood collection needle was stained red and blood was drawn out of the body. Kang Seung-hyeon put the appropriately extracted blood into a bottle.
“Is that… your blood?”
“Yes, this is normal blood with no effect.”
However, if Le Peny uses it, everyone will mistake it for the blood of a magic repulsor.
The blood of a magic resister is no different from the blood of an ordinary human unless it is touched by magic.
“Mr. Le Peny, please throw this to get our attention. In the meantime, I will fire this arrow pretending to be an ordinary arrow.”
Gordius is a meticulous and cautious enemy.
Thanks to the two of them chattering a while ago, this guy is in a state of knowing Kang Seung-hyun’s party’s strategy.
“Because there will definitely be gaps.”
So, if Le Peny threw a bottle of blood in that situation, Gordius would have no choice but to mistake it for the blood of a magic repulsor.
I’ll probably be on my nerves and deal with the suspicious blood disease.
“Are you okay? not bad.”
Le Peny, who was ill, said with a grin.
Buses’s!
Bros!
Then some scarabs spotted the two and hurried back.
“It’s Gordian’s follower!”
“We’ve got our location, so we’ll be back soon. Get ready soon.”
“good. Let’s do it.”
Le Peny acts as a decoy to lure Gordius, and Kang Seung-Hyun takes advantage of the gap and attacks.
The two split up and started the operation.
“Oh, by the way.”
before leaving the place.
Le Peny asked with a curious face.
“Is there any need to lie? If you’re going to drag it with aggro anyway, it’s better to do it with my blood.”
“That’s…”
There are two main reasons.
One was that Le Peny had too many injuries from this fight to draw too much blood.
“I think it will be fun.”
The other was because he wanted to see Gordius mistaking ordinary blood for the blood of a magic repulsor and making a fuss.
– “Yeah, it’s beyond my expectations.”
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
and back to the present.
In fact, Gordius was extremely angry after hearing Kang’s story.
“Aren’t you looking at us too easily?”
“This… disgusting thing!!!!”
It wasn’t enough that I was properly victimized by the blood of the magic resister I was trying to avoid, so I was laughed at with excitement.
In short, they were deceived from beginning to end.
“It happens when you try to use a skill while the blood of a magic resister is injected into your body.”
“I’ll grab your neck and rip it out!”
With anger as the driving force, Gordius freed himself from the bondage caused by skill cancellation.
“You should have thought about it more carefully.”
[Pria’s bond pouch]
[Generates magic repulsor blood arrows.]
Kang Seung-hyeon immediately pulled the trigger and drove a red arrow into Gordian’s body.
Papababak!
“Do you think you will fall for the same trick again!”
This time, Skill Cancel did not activate. It was because Gordius attacked without using a skill.
“Certainly, if it’s a boss-level monster, it can overwhelm adventurers with just plain hits without any skills.”
However, Kang Seung-hyun had a face that expected that too. As if he had waited, he took out a potion bottle from his inventory and threw it.
[Throwing]
Clink!
Pajijijik!
“Quaaaaaagh!”
The moment the contents of the potion bottle splashed on Gordius’ body, the arrows embedded in his body exploded with sparks.
“I’m telling you because you might be curious, but it’s just a magic potion.”
When an opponent with an arrow stuck in their body does not want to use a skill, you can forcibly induce a skill cancellation by using a magic potion.
“It just needs to be reached by magic in some way.”
Tuk Tak!
Kang Seung-hyun smiled and threw the potion upwards, then
[Throwed]
threw it again towards Gordius.
Wow!
Kwaaang!
As the arrows in the body reacted, strong explosions continued as if a powder keg had been ignited.
“Kiaaaaaaaaaa!!!!”
Gordius screamed sharply.
Wood Deuk!
The guy gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow stuck in his body. If it was a normal monster, it would have been knocked out long ago, but it was a boss monster, so it endured.
“…If you had just a little more arrows, you would have won, but that’s a pity.”
Gordius threw away the arrow he pulled out.
As he said, Kang Seung-hyeon hadn’t fired an arrow since before.
“That guy is already at his limit.”
“Hee-eok hee-eok…”
“If I draw more blood, I will die.”
In fact, Le Peni couldn’t even stand properly. It was because he kept receiving blood [blood] while making magic repulsive arrows.
“…I’m fine, don’t worry.”
“Then you really die.”
In the first place, the guy had just had a fight with Kang Seung-hyeon. It’s not strange if he collapses at any time because he fought forcibly without recovering from the injuries he sustained on his body.
“A ragged fellow like that isn’t even worth using as a host.”
Gordius laughed at the two and said.
“Without those arrows, you are nothing. die!”
Shaa!
It was the moment when he created a sword and rushed at it.
“…You never said you didn’t have arrows, did you?”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled and aimed the crossbow.
As Gordius said, Le Peny’s physical strength was at its limit, and the blood stored in it had long since run out.
However, Kang Seung-hyeon still had many arrows to use.
[Recovering Pria’s arrows]
[Recovering magic repulsor blood arrows.]
When he activated the [Arrow Recovery] skill, all the magic repelling arrows he had used so far began to be retrieved into his inventory.
[Recovery Successful!]
[Magic Repulsor Blood Arrow Arrow.]
You have to wait until the next morning to retrieve the arrow once you have retrieved it. So, if he endures this attack, Gordius can defeat Kang Seung-hyun.
PABABABABAK!
Kang Seung-hyeon pulled the trigger and hit Gordian with all the arrows he had just retrieved.
“If you can hold on, that is.”
Pajijijijik!
Aaaaaang!
Dozens of arrows pierced the guy’s body at the same time, and as the magic potion was poured over it, a refreshing magic explosion sounded.
cooong!
Gordius fell backwards without even screaming.
‘Now.’
Seunghyun Kang threw the crossbow he was holding.
There are still arrows left, but there is no point in firing any more.
‘Even if I attack like this, only the host will die.’
So far, they have endured thanks to the symbiote’s unique body strengthening ability and the boss monster’s power, but now the host’s body is also at its limit.
‘We need to kill the symbiote body.’
Seunghyun Kang looked at the fallen Gordius.
The symbiote didn’t die from the shock just now, it just passed out. As soon as it wakes up, it will abandon its host and run away in search of a new host, so we had to catch it before that.
‘This guy must have been a parasite not too long ago.’
Parasitic monsters that originally entered the host’s body are moved to a safe place. Controlling the brain with ease of manipulation, or sticking to the abdomen or intestines to extort nutrients.
However, Gordius didn’t have time to move to another place because he was fighting Kang Seung-hyeon’s party.
‘Parasitic monsters leave traces when parasitic on the host’s body. It must be near it.’
[Observation Eye]
Kang Seung-hyun activated the [Observation Eye] and examined the body of the host. It didn’t show much with the naked eye, but
[There are traces of something digging in.]
[Gordian Larva is located.]
[The subject is in a ‘stunned’ state.]
Let’s look through the [Observing Eye] around the neck. Along with this information, the silhouette of Gordian’s body came to mind.
‘found!’
Originally, I would have to slit the throat with a dagger and get the symbiote out, but
[Extraction]
Charaa!
Kang Seung-hyeon activated [Extraction] to create a translucent glass skull grip.
rattle rattle rattle!
A bony hand invisible to anyone’s eye grabbed Bill Seihan’s neck.
Faaaa!
Then, Gordius, who had been dormant in his body, disappeared along with the light and appeared on Kang Seung-hyun’s hand.
[Released from ‘passing out’ state!]
At the same time, the guy came to his senses.
Chow ah!
Gordius jumped in to make Kang Seung-hyeon his host without a second’s hesitation. He was too close to use [Extract] again.
< Obey > < Obey >
< Obey >
< Obey >
The moment Gordius dug into Kang Seung-hyun’s wrist, a voice rang in his head along with tremendous tinnitus
. It is trying to manipulate the host using mind control.
“plaguy.”
However, Kang Seung-Hyun took out a dagger with a disapproving face and
said,
With skill, he pierced his wrist with a dagger and pulled out the body of Gordius, which had burrowed into his body.
Impaled by the dagger, Gordius shuddered and sent a telepathic message.
< That mind control doesn't work! >
“I hate listening to others.”
[Mind control is completely nullified!]
[The effect of ignoring the command is activated.]
Kang Seung-hyun glanced at the message window that appeared in front of him, then turned his head. Even if it wasn’t just this skill, he was so mentally strong that he could ignore the effect of mind control.
“Then go well.”
Seunghyun Kang tried to strike down Gordian.
< Wait! Wait! >
< I have something to say! >
Then the guy sent desperate telepathy.
