Episode 111 Black Battle Cannon (3)
Just like in the first mission, the boss appearance time windows I saw while passing through areas 1 and 2 were all transparent.
It was my first time seeing something golden like that.
‘How did this happen?’
-As you said, there is a high possibility that a special boss will appear.
‘Hmm…’
Baek Woo-jin swallowed dry saliva.
A sudden sense of tension arose because even the person who had returned could not figure out what had happened inside.
‘Does this mean that it’s not a manticore, but something else entirely?’
-Golden is a unique color, so it is natural that someone stronger than the average manticore will appear.
‘Can I beat a level 7 or higher boss with my sword skills?’
-Each boss will be different. However, if you use me or summon a spirit, what can’t you catch?
‘First, I need to figure out the surrounding terrain. ‘Because I don’t know what will happen.’
-What can I say?
Baek Woo-jin led his group around the area where the boss appeared and became familiar with the terrain. He found a suitable spot and instructed everyone to rest.
“It looks like the Manticore hasn’t appeared yet.”
Seo In-ah licked her lips with regret.
“Let’s set a time.”
Baek Woo-jin made eye contact with everyone and opened his mouth.
“Time?”
“We can’t keep spending time in this dangerous area when we never know when the manticore will show up. “If you don’t show up after a week, we’ll just head back.”
“All right.”
“yes. “I do that.”
Everyone nodded in agreement because a week was a reasonable amount of time.
Baek Woo-jin smiled with excitement and tension as he watched the boss appear in the air.
‘What will come out?’
**
The female cat followed Seo In-ah’s traces and caught up with Baek Woo-jin and his group.
Of course, in order to avoid being detected, I used my skills and characteristic items and observed him from a distance where my vision was blurry.
‘That’s a monster.’
The female cat bit her lip.
Just now, Baek Woo-jin took advantage of the moment he caught the Lycoon and tried to approach him a little, but he must have sensed that weak sensation and turned his head towards him.
My senses were beyond ghosts and I was going crazy. There was a high possibility that he might have found himself.
Although he had assassinated many powerful people, he had never met a person with such outstanding senses.
‘Assassination is almost impossible.’
The female cat bit her hand, drew blood, and then wrote strange characters on the back of her hand.
Slurp.
The flesh and blood drawn on the back of his hand came off at the same time and blended perfectly into the surroundings.
‘I can’t believe I’m using this in a place like this…’
It was originally a type of necromancy used to observe assassination targets in secret rooms, but I never thought it would be used in an open place like this.
‘It would be better to take advantage of the opportunity by interfering with the mission.’
As Daeyeonmunju said, it seemed better to take advantage of the opportunity by interfering with the mission rather than assassinating him.
‘I’ll wait until the end.’
The cat’s eyes flashed sharply.
**
‘There’s about 10 minutes left.’
The golden clock went round and round, and before I knew it, there were less than 10 minutes left.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin looked around as if he was looking for something and smiled.
-I can’t feel it anymore. Did you go away?
‘Maybe so, but maybe not.’
Baek Woo-jin felt someone’s gaze very briefly two days ago.
It was the gaze of a person, not a monster. I tried to chase it, but it disappeared right away and hasn’t been seen since.
-Did it come from the main gate?
‘It could be Zenon or Lucas. Or it could be the fourth force.’
-You have so many enemies.
‘I’ve lived a good life, but I don’t know why I’m like this.’
-Being nice sucks! A guy who deliberately makes enemies!
Darkness shouted, but Baek Woo-jin just laughed.
-You have plenty of spare time.
‘It doesn’t matter what happens.’
I don’t know if he was an assassin or a guy gathering information, but he probably came after me after all.
However, the information he knows about himself is before he started training with darkness.
Since I didn’t know anything about myself right now, I couldn’t help but be overflowing with confidence.
In addition, I told Seo In-ah and the guards about the situation, so there was no need to worry about being ambushed.
“Prosecutor. sorry.”
Seo In-ah approached with a dark face.
“yes?”
“I asked you to come without even looking into it, so you just wait like this. “What should I say?”
Seo In-ah lowered her head with a gaunt expression.
She seemed to think she could get things done as quickly as she did when she came to the 1st Regen area.
“no. “I’m having a good time.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand and smiled, saying there was no problem.
I didn’t just say this to ease her worries.
Here, while dealing with grade 5 and 6 monsters, I learned more precise and clean Auror operation.
Even if I didn’t get anything from the boss, it was a meaningful time because I had already learned a lot.
“And it might come out in five minutes.”
“That would be nice, but…”
Seo In-ah muttered, “That can’t be possible.”
“Don’t be too disappointed, just wait. “There are still three days left.”
“Ah…”
Seo In-ah’s eyes were sparkling as if they were about to flow.
Baek Woo-jin dealt with most of the monsters alone and gave various instructions without making any mistakes.
He was touched by the way he comforted himself even though he was most tired and having a hard time.
“thank you. “Thanks to the prosecutor, I feel strong.”
“Then that’s a relief. “You have to make a black war hat.”
“That’s right. please!”
While talking with Seo In-ah, Baek Woo-jin was concentrating on the boss’s time.
[Time remaining until boss appears 00:00:03]
The remaining 3 seconds returned to 0, and the sky about 150 meters away began to split.
“Everyone back!”
Baek Woo-jin pulled Seo In-ah behind him and called everyone.
Moon Joo-young and Seo In-ah’s guards suddenly stood up. As promised, they moved behind Baek Woo-jin and surrounded Seo In-ah.
Pudddeuk!
The cracks in the sky connected like a spider web and a large crack was created.
“Kwaaaa!”
The sign of something huge was heard from within the crack.
Quaaa!
Just by appearing, a strong wind blew and the surrounding trees and bushes shook as if they would be uprooted.
“Is that a manticore?”
The monster that appeared as Seo In-ah muttered had the appearance of a manticore with the body and head of a lion and the wings of a bat.
But three things were different.
The manticore’s skin was as dark as the pitch-black night sky, its body was 1.5 times larger, so it looked like a building was moving, and it had two scorpion-like tails.
-That guy appears…
‘What is that?’
-It’s Manticore Rex.
‘Rex?’
-Its strength and size are nearly twice that of the Manticore, and its black leather is so hard that not even Aurors can penetrate it. It wouldn’t be strange if it were level 7 in your terms. Of course it is stronger than the Minotaur.
‘Right.’
He is a level 7, has a special ability, and was told that he was stronger than the Minotaur, but the smile on Baek Woo-jin’s face did not disappear.
-What? Smile?
‘I think it’ll be fun.’
Baek Woo-jin looked back. Everyone was shaking, not expecting such a monster to appear.
Because it was far away, I didn’t hear the roar, but I was in a state of physical and mental atrophy just from the strength and size of the Manticore Rex.
“Everyone stay here.”
“yes?”
“I will handle it.”
“Oh no! young master! That thing is dangerous!”
Manticore’s presence was so overwhelming that Moon Joo-young, who always believed in Baek Woo-jin, stopped him.
“you’re right. “First of all, it’s best to step back…”
“That guy can fly, so it would be more dangerous to run away. Plus, like I said the day before yesterday, someone watching us could attack us.”
Everyone’s expressions turned blank at Baek Woo-jin’s firm words.
“Ah…”
Seo In-ah had a lot to say, but she couldn’t open her mouth due to fear.
“Everyone, please protect Ina here. If five people, including Moon Guard, hold their positions, no one will be able to come. “I will take care of the manticore.”
“That prosecutor!”
“are you okay.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled, reassured everyone, and ran towards the Manticore.
‘My heart is racing.’
-ok?
‘I feel as good as when I was fighting the Minotaur.’
Baek Woo-jin stepped on the Unknown Footstep and stood in front of the Manticore Rex looking down on the world.
“Krrr….”
Manticore Rex’s diamond-shaped eyes sparkled with life. Instead of being scared, he felt annoyed by the human who approached him.
Sigh!
Manticore Rex’s scorpion tail rushed towards Baek Woo-jin. The idea was that one tail was enough for a human being.
“That won’t be enough.”
Whoops!
The Armin Sword and the Manticore Rex’s tail collided, and a harsh impact sound erupted.
“Krrr!”
The manticore’s pupils doubled in size. He couldn’t believe that a human who couldn’t feel anything had blocked his attack.
“I tried to break it, but it was solid.”
Baek Woo-jin was also surprised by the hardness and intense power of the manticore’s tail.
-You idiot. If you do that, it’s the same as before.
‘sorry. I was so excited.’
Baek Woo-jin smiled slightly and unleashed his aura with all his might.
Quaaaaa!
Just by opening the aura, the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
Goooooh.
The aura emanating from Baek Woo-jin’s body was as natural as flowing water. It was a perfect operation of the Aurors to the extent that almost no waste was visible.
“Krrr….”
Manticore Rex’s eyes became more murderous. Only now did I realize what kind of person Baek Woo-jin was.
“Kaaaa!”
The Manticore Rex roared once again and went down to the ground.
“Krrrrr.”
The manticore circled around Baek Woo-jin and let out a rhythmic howl. It wouldn’t be strange to say it was music.
-It has begun.
‘okay.’
The manticore modulates its cries to reduce the enemy’s senses and strength. Manticore Rex also uses that ability.
‘I knew this.’
Baek Woo-jin has already learned how to block hearing from Heuk-am. No matter what noise the manticore made, it had no effect.
Whoa whoa.
Green smoke came out of the manticore’s mouth. It was a poisonous gas that killed everything around it.
“Krrr.”
A cold growl flowed from the manticore’s mouth.
Deadly Poison used with Song of Despair is a combo ability that has killed dozens of humans wearing steel armor.
I thought that one arrogant person would have melted to death.
“Crrrrrrr!”
Manticore Rex laughed at Baek Woo-jin and spread his wings to kill humans from afar.
Absolutely!
At that moment, a stream of brain energy and sword energy poured out from the poisonous gas.
Sigh!
The sword energy of Lightning Island scattered four at a time and mercilessly tore off both wings of the Manticore Rex.
“Keuuuuu!”
The first pain-filled scream came from the mouth of the Manticore Rex, which had only been roaring.
“Where are you going?”
Baek Woo-jin walked out of the poisonous gas with an innocent face.
This kind of deadly gas was an ability I had no idea about, but it didn’t work on him, who had a celestial poison invulnerability.
Quaaaaa!
The Manticore Rex endured the pain and aimed at Baek Woo-jin’s neck and heart with its two tails.
Okay! Awesome!
Baek Woo-jin swung his sword diagonally and flicked off two tails at the same time.
“It’s still solid.”
Even though the manticore’s auror was being used, the manticore’s tail was not cut off.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
…
-That guy could have cut off the wings because he was careless. Not just the tail, but the entire body is tough. It will take quite a bit of effort to catch it.
‘I need to concentrate.’
Baek Woo-jin ran forward and fired a black bullet.
“Kaaaa!”
The manticore struck down its front paw, surrounded by black energy like an auror.
Kwaaaaang!
The Black King’s bullet and the Manticore’s slash had almost similar power.
The manticore’s huge body was pushed back and Baek Woo-jin’s feet were stuck in the ground.
“This is how it’s fun.”
It was when Baek Woo-jin pulled out his leg and was about to rush at Manticore Rex. He could feel a slight anticipation coming towards him.
Kyaang!
The objects that flew were thin needles.
-It’s him!
‘As expected, it was still there.’
He was such an unlucky guy that he didn’t step forward until now and then got in the way when they were dealing with the Manticore.
-The walking method is fast. I can’t keep up with you.
‘It’s not just that. ‘He’s behind the manticore.’
The assassin fired the needle from behind the manticore, not from behind or from the side.
Using the manticore as a shield, he created a structure that does not reveal himself. Looking at him smart and calm, I was certain he was an assassin.
“Kaaah!”
Manticore Rex went wild, targeting only Baek Woo-jin, not caring about who was behind him.
Quaaaang!
It attacked simultaneously with its rock-like front legs and two tails and spewed out poison.
“Tsk!”
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue, fired a black king bullet, and stabbed Gwan Il-geuk to block Manticore Rex’s vicious attacks.
Shuaang!
The moment the manticore’s attack was blocked, spittles and needles flew out once again. The acupuncture needles and needles had a gloomy purple energy.
Quaaaang!
Baek Woo-jin used the steel sword to blow away the manticore and stepped back to avoid the needle.
-What a troublesome guy. Use Ignis or Sulbing to kill it.
‘no.’
Baek Woo-jin shook his head and held out his hand to Heuk-am.
“It worked out better. “Because I wanted to test how powerful it is.”
-Are you going to use that?
“Okay, I’m going to finish them both off at once.”
Baek Woo-jin caught the darkness.
Kugugugu
The sword blade of darkness became longer.
It wasn’t just the size of the sword that increased.
An ominous aura covered in darkness rose high into the sky.
The black aura that stretched out was splitting the sky in half.
[The third sword of darkness, Paedo’s Black Death, is now available.]
