◈ 210. [Free Exploration] VS Damian
Let’s go through the magic door. The event dungeon. It was the slime’s room.
[Event Dungeon – Slime’s Room]
– Fight against the incoming slimes and survive!
– A swarm of slimes are coming!
– Lv.15 Normal Slime: 30
It was an open, flat dungeon room, and slimes started pouring in from all directions.
“… .”
“… .”
“… .”
However, none of the party members who entered before me paid attention to the slime.
Lucas and Evangeline Jr. both drew their weapons and surrounded Damian.
saaaa… … .
All the darkness in the event dungeon room had gathered around Damian like a dense fog.
It was similar to Damian, who was in a state of disorder like a sleepwalker yesterday morning. However, the amount of darkness that lingered around her body was incomparably greater.
“what’s the matter!”
Lucas calmly reported to me as I urgently shouted.
“As soon as we entered this place, the darkness inside the dungeon rushed to Damian. Damian seems to have lost consciousness and has no response.”
“Damn it… .”
If it’s a mental abnormality, my passive skill [Indomitable Commander] will heal it even if I stay next to it.
Seeing that it is still in that state, it seems that the judgment is completely different.
‘I didn’t bring her to the dungeon even though she’s in a bad condition!’
It was my intention to put it where I can reach it as much as possible, but it must have been a mistake on my part.
The Lake Kingdom Dungeon is the home of darkness and nightmares.
If it made Damian’s condition worse, it would have made it worse, and there was absolutely no way it would have a good effect… … !
Gul-guk-gul-guk… .
A thicker black aura than usual poured out from the [Black Queen] on Damian’s back, completely covering Damian’s body.
Damien’s eyes, always brightly shining, were unconscious and sunk in a daze.
“Damian! It’s me Ash! Can’t you recognize me?”
approached and shouted. Hoping that Damian would be a little bit more conscious.
Degur.
Then Damian’s glazed eyes swiveled to the side, looked at me, and
smirked.
Damian’s thin lips caught an evil sneer like never before.
《Damian is now having a happy dream.》
“… !”
“Don’t interfere with this child’s happiness, human.”
I felt it intuition.
‘That’ is not Damian.
“Damn it… !”
I murmured involuntarily and at the same time
clap!
Damien’s arms, completely engulfed in a black aura, grabbed the pistol-type horse gun [Cerberus] from his waist.
In the blink of an eye, the gun was pointed at me
and bang! Taang-!
It spewed out flames.
***
Do-do-do-do!
The next moment, sparks flew from Evangeline’s shield surrounding me.
Evangeline, who swung her shield to deflect the pouring magic bullets, aimed the jousting spear forward while gritting her teeth.
“It seems like the world has really lost its mind, doesn’t it? Could it be that Damian oppa is shooting at senior?”
That’s how it is. We need to re-arrange the order of our party’s distraction rankings.
Knock!
At that moment, the sound of Lucas grinding his teeth rang through the dungeon room. What an angry face he is
“I acknowledge the merits of the past, but to dare to point a gun at the lord… You need a real education, Damian.”
“Right now, Damian is unconscious due to the effects of that magic gun.”
Grinding my teeth, I took out the staff from my bosom.
“You have to hold it down so you don’t get hurt.”
I shouted at Junior who was casting a spell.
“Junior! You alone can block the slime wave. can you do it?”
“Sure. majesty.”
Junior’s magic is powerful, but it’s a problem because it’s too powerful. Damian could be seriously injured.
Lucas, Evangeline, and I subdue Damian in hand-to-hand combat while blocking the invading slimes with Junior’s wide-area magic. This was my plan.
“Repress it so you don’t get hurt… I don’t know if that’s possible, senior.”
Evangeline smiled bitterly as she looked down at her shield, which had just been dug up from removing magic bullets.
“Damian oppa is the strongest spear our party has?”
“And you are the strongest shield I have.”
What did Evangeline say to me? I let out a strange laugh.
Then Lucas gave him a ferocious gaze.
“Me, lord?”
“… The strongest sword I own.”
Lucas nodded and sighed as if he was satisfied. No, now is not the time to talk like this.
“I just need to take the magic gun from Damian’s back… let’s go!”
Taat!
As soon as my horse fell, Evangeline and Lucas kicked off the ground and ran.
“I was taught anti-sniper tactics exhaustingly at the academy!”
At Evangeline, who ran forward with her shield in front, Damian fired Cerberus from both hands in succession. bang! bang! bang! bang-!
ping! Peeing! ping-!
However, Evangeline is a shield specialist.
All of Cerberus’s magic bullets, which had low damage, flowed out without difficulty and rushed in front of Damian at once.
Damian threw two Cerberus with empty magazines on the floor, then pulled out a third Cerberus and a [Woodpecker] submachine gun, one in each hand.
Then, he shot toward the ground where Evangeline, not Evangeline, had stepped.
Doo doo doo!
The barrage of magic bullets that rained down on the floor ricocheted and bounced wildly.
Evangeline, who was only wary of direct fire, could not block or dodge, and the bounced magic bullets hit Evangeline’s calves and thighs.
‘You calculated all ricochet angles on the ground before shooting?!’
You crazy clairvoyant! Opening machine characteristics! I love you, but it’s a little too much to be an enemy!
“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?!”
The legs were also armored, so it wasn’t a fatal wound, but the damage was certain.
Evangeline collapsed to the floor as blood gushed from her legs. Oh my God, Evangeline!
“Huh!”
Lucas, who was running right behind him, sprinted like flying and attacked Damian in front.
“Let’s set the order of this party clearly, Damian!”
Lucas, who activated skill 2 [Step of Tenacity], was closing the distance by several meters each time he hit the ground.
Doo doo doo!
Damian poured all the remaining magic bullets into the woodpecker, but Lucas took it tough with his body and reached Damian’s nose. It was already within reach of the sword.
Booung-!
Lucas vigorously swung his longsword with it in its scabbard.
Even if you get hit, you won’t die, but it was a terrifying swing that seemed like a few bones would break funny.
but.
bang!
Damian fired Cerberus at the tip of his swinging sword and hit it accurately.
The sword path hit by the magic bullet had no choice but to turn sideways, and Lucas’s sword stroke narrowly grazed Damian’s body and cut through the air.
“what… .”
Stunned, Lucas struck down the longsword again with the scabbard, but
bang! bang! bang!
three more times in a row.
Damian precisely hit the tip of Lucas’s sword and bent his sword, and each time Lucas’s sword cut through the air. It was a truly insane feat.
But Cerberus’ magazine ran out.
Damian threw the horse gun from both hands to the floor without regret, then pulled out a long rifle-shaped horse gun – [Hunter’s Retribution] from his back with a smooth motion.
Damian suddenly pointed the gun at Lucas. The gun was pointed straight at Lucas’s heart.
Taang-!
pop!
At that moment, Evangeline rushed in and stretched out her shield to deflect the magic bullet.
Right after that, Lucas lowered his longsword again. Damian didn’t blink an eye and shot the hunter’s revenge again, hitting Lucas’s sword.
bang! bang! Taang-!
visor! Chi Kang! ping!
Attack and defense go back and forth in succession.
Watching this surreal close-quarters duel between two knights and a sniper, I gritted my teeth.
I wasn’t playing either. I was constantly trying to subdue him with mind control by casting my 1st skill [Evil Eye of Command] on Damian.
The problem is that [Mystic Eye of Command] is a skill that requires eye contact to activate.
But Damian’s eyes – [clairvoyance] never looked at me and kept avoiding my gaze as if he understood my intentions.
If my eyes met my eyes even for a moment, the skill would activate, but that clairvoyant must have a good eye avoidance, so he avoided my gaze. Damn!
I wanted to throw the [Spirit Crasher], the stun dagger I received from Elise yesterday, but Lucas’s sword was also deflected, but I don’t think I’ll get hit with my dagger throw.
‘I don’t think anyone will get seriously hurt at this rate… … !’
[Hunter’s Retribution] has 12 ammunition. It’s over soon.
Then Damian will bring out the last magic gun [Black Queen]… … With its enormous power, someone will surely see blood.
‘Is there no way to end this situation smoothly… … ?!’
As I looked around, I suddenly saw something.
Slime.
These jelly-like monsters that Junior is cleaning up with his magic.
“… !”
At that moment, an idea struck me like a bolt of lightning. I involuntarily snapped my fingers and shouted.
“This is it!”
I immediately shouted at Junior, who was cleaning the slime over there.
“Junior! Stop killing the slime!”
“yes?”
I urgently gave an order to Junior, who looked at me curiously.
“Gather them all in one place!”
***
Taang-!
[Hunter’s Retribution]’s last bullet was fired.
“Aww!”
Evangeline’s gauntlet, which was blocked by the shield but could not withstand the continued impact, was shattered. Evangeline screamed in pain.
“Oh shit… .”
Lucas groaned as well.
Lucas and Evangeline have limited attacks to subdue them, but Damian launches an attack to kill them.
There was no choice but to make a difference in combat power. Lucas gritted his teeth and grabbed the handle of his longsword.
Are you saying that this situation will end only when blood is shed?
Tuduk!
Damian, who threw the [Hunter’s Retribution] with an empty magazine on the floor without hesitation, took out the last long rifle loaded on his back and grabbed it.
[Black Queen].
A Nightmare Slayer, the most powerful equipment on the Southern Front, and the main culprit of this situation.
Whoaaah-!
As Damian took out the Black Queen and held it in his hand, the black aura that flowed all over his body deepened.
oh oh oh oh… … !
An evil energy emanated from the horse gun, making it difficult to breathe.
Sreung!
Lucas gritted his teeth and drew a longsword from its scabbard.
If that gun was fired, this side would no longer be able to wield a sword just for suppression. One has no choice but to fight with the determination to die.
Damian lifted the black queen with a smooth motion and aimed it at Lucas’ forehead.
Lucas opened his eyes wide and prepared to shoot forward.
The moment when the sniper and the knight stare at each other and reload magic bullets and sword strikes.
It was then.
rumble!
Suddenly, dozens of slimes rolled and poured down Damian’s back. Fluffy, colorful slimes were like a landslide.
《… ?!]
Embarrassed, Damian immediately turned around and shot the Black Queen. Bang-!
The spirit cores of six slimes per shot were pierced and destroyed. However, there were still plenty of slimes left.
Smack! Smack!
A bunch of jelly-like slimes clung to each other and raindrops poured over Damian.
“Go, my slimes!”
Ash stood behind the group of slimes.
With skill 1 [Evil Eye of Domination], dozens of slimes were mentally controlled at the same time to attack Damian.
He had double nosebleeds due to excessive use of magical powers and plugged his nose with a tissue, but the third prince of the empire looked rather excited.
“The one who survives and subdues Damian will be specially and permanently on our side!”
Smack! iron-!
rumble!
I don’t know if he understood Ash’s words, but the slime swarm rushed like a wave.
Bang! Bang! Bang-!
Damian relentlessly fired the Black Queen and destroyed dozens of slimes with their spiritual cores, but was eventually attacked by a swarm of slimes that survived… … .
iron-!
“Cheuk… … ?!]
I was trapped in the soft jelly.
“Are you going to forcibly take away this child’s happy dreams? … ?!]
Damian shouted, his face contorting.
《This child will be happier living in a dream of the past than living in a hellish reality… … !
”
Ash approached Damian, who struggled over being overpowered, and snatched the Black Queen from his hand.
“The teacher will confiscate this, so I’ll pick it up later after class.”
As Ash grabbed hold of it, the darkness that flowed from the horse gun disappeared like a lie.
Ash concluded with a stern face.
“Until then, let’s get some punishment. Damian… Kneel in it and raise your hands!”
The remaining slime poured down on Damian’s struggling body.
