◈ 252. [Side Story] 3rd job change
The weather has become quite cool before I know it. Autumn is fast approaching.
The next defense battle- The boss stage, stage 10, is also right in front of you.
I put all my energy into the last round of farming with my party members.
As a result. In the last free exploration before the stage progress.
[End of free exploration!]
[Level up character]

Lucas Evangeline Damian.
The three main party members achieved level 50 side by side. hurray!
‘Finally the 3rd job change! Finally, the ultimate skill!’
After checking the status window of the three people, I called for joy in my heart. Now it’s all over, you freaking bastards!
In addition, SSR grade Lucas and Evangeline can even farm exclusive equipment!
Now this trio is virtually complete as a combatant.
There are still many things left to upgrade, such as final equipment, optimization of characteristics, but at least you will not be defeated by the enemy due to lack of skills.
“Hmm… ?”
“reel?”
“Aww, this is… ?”
Lucas, Evangeline, and Damian looked down at their respective bodies and groaned.
A character who reached level 50, commonly known as ‘Awakener’, has a unique pattern somewhere on the body.
And through that pattern, each individual’s ultimate skill is expressed.
‘Because the location of the pattern is privacy. Let’s not ask where it was engraved.’
Junior proudly revealed the pattern on his burnt left hand, but whether he hides it or reveals it is his personal freedom.
… No, but Evangeline? Why do you keep raising your arm and looking at your armpit like that? did you come out there? uh?
“what? Did you get bitten by a mosquito… … ?”
Watching Evangeline tap her armpits with her fingertips, I closed my eyes.
Oh hey! I told you not to do that outside!
This is in front of the teleport gate of the manor house after returning from free exploration.
Everyone is tidying up like that.
“… Whoa.”
Quylan sighed softly.
The growth of the penal unit was also steep, so Quylan was already level 49.
It’s unfortunate that I couldn’t reach 50, but I succeeded in nurturing it close.
“… .”
I feel a bit out of place seeing him looking down at his fist with a serious face that doesn’t suit him, with his talking significantly less than before… … What if you were sincere?
‘All 5 hero characters in the Punishment Unit are prisoners of the Dolphinlang tribe.’
Among the rest of the ordinary bandits recruited together, there were no beasts.
The refugees they brought were all just human beings.
In other words, only one party has a chance to turn into a werewolf.
‘… If that happens.’
What choices do I have to make as a commander?
I wiped my brow while thinking. grunt
In addition to the main party and the penal unit, two more sub-parties were sent to autonomous exploration in the early areas to level them.
They will also play their part in this defense battle.
‘4 hero pool parties available for 4 awakened characters. Even though Reina was left out, the 4 wizards of the magic corps can also be used as a reserve. There’s even a reserve for Lily and Marherita.’
I always say I’m sick, but from the stage 10 point of view, it’s a luxurious composition.
‘It’s worth clearing stably.’
You shouldn’t be careless, but you don’t have to crouch down in fear.
This defensive battle is worth trying. I clenched my fists.
“There will be a strategy meeting this evening!”
I smiled confidently at the party members tidying up their battle-weary bodies.
“I’ll feed you well like always, so get ready to eat! Please come here by evening. got it?”
“Yep~!”
The party members answered in unison. I feel like a middle school or high school teacher.
“Ader!”
When I called the director, Ader, who had been waiting by the side of the mansion, rushed over. I chinned.
“There will be a meeting in the evening, so prepare meals and call the people who call your name.”
“Yes, lord! Which people should I bring?”
“The four members of the Lily Marherita Magic Corps and… .”
Because the time for a decisive battle is not far.
“Junior.”
It was time to call up a mage who had been absent from the main party for a long time.
***
While Ader brought the rest, Junior was picked up by me. I’ll have to take the precious magician by hand.
It was just a little while ago that I joined Junior, who was immersed in agony in front of the prison.
They are on their way back to the manor house in a carriage together.
“… .”
Junior, who met Raina and Camus once, was deep in thought.
I smiled. No matter what conclusion you come to, I will support you, Junior.
So dinner. Manor house restaurant.
Looking at the party members sitting huddled together, he began to conduct the meeting skillfully.
“Listen while eating. Everyone knows too well, but the opponent in this defensive battle is the Werewolf Corps.”
I said while holding a simple sandwich and chewing on it.
“It is one of the 10 strongest corps directly under the command of the nightmare corps commander. Among them, the Werewolf Corps can be said to be quite clever.”
werewolf.
Half man, half man.
A monster as smart as a human and swift as a wolf. That’s a werewolf.
You have to be careful about the group connection through the howling skill, and you have to be careful about the buff on the night of the full moon.
The biggest problem is this.
‘It’s damn clever.’
Compared to most kaiju legions in the game attacking in one or two patterns.
The Werewolf Legion has chosen a different tactic each time to attack. I said everything to the point of giving up after counting out a few patterns.
Same this time. You never know what tactics they might use.
Surprise log, Nigawa log, Yangdong log, digging tunnels or coming with siege weapons… … know nothing!
Fortunately, there are no dark events, perhaps because it is a boss stage.
“Since we can’t specify their tactics, there is only one thing we can do.”
Percussion!
I put my hand on the blackboard that Ader had brought.
There, the basic tactics we had defended the wall were described in detail.
Right attack method.
No, from our point of view, as defenders, is it the water purification method?
Form a kill zone, expand ranged fire weapons, and deploy melee units.
Equip artifacts, prepare wizards, and stand by heroes to be put on the front line in case of emergency.
I assigned the basic roles and arrangements for each hero to perform in this defense battle. Of course, this is just the basics.
“You never know what might happen. We will reorganize the command system on the spot so that we can flexibly respond to the situation.”
The eolchu meal was finished. I nodded as I looked at the party members who put down the tableware one by one.
“Okay, when you’re done eating, let’s have a more detailed strategy meeting over a cup of tea.”
***
It was close to midnight when the meeting broke up.
Everyone else was sent back, but the main party was summoned to the lord’s office.
Everyone looked a little tired because they went on a free exploration today and had a relay meeting just before.
Evangeline closed her eyes and nodded, while Damian yawned, then looked at me and covered his mouth.
Lucas too… … Her blonde hair, which was always lively, is drooping. Everyone looks tired.
‘But I can’t sleep like this!’
That’s right, you’re level 50. Level 50! A third job change is possible! How can I postpone this and get it done today!
“Tell me first. Junior! Today, these three ‘awakened’.”
“really?”
Senior Awakener Junior raised his eyes in surprise.
I nodded my head in front of the three new Awakeners who were embarrassed for some reason.
“As those who have awakened earlier, I hope to pass on some tips to these friends who have followed.”
“Ummm~ It’s a tip. I wonder if there is even a tip… … .”
Junior floundered at my sudden request.
“First of all, everyone must have confirmed the awakening pattern, and at the same time, you must have established a skill that integrates the combat experience you have accumulated so far, so uhm… .”
The other three were smiling benignly at Junior, who was clumsily trying to tell him something.
Don’t look like a senior in high school looking at a teacher who came out of practice for the first time.
Anyway, I didn’t actually want Junior to pass on the tips, while the four of us were wasting time like this.
“Ader!”
“Here it is!”
It was my goal to surprise them with this gift I had secretly prepared!
I intercepted ‘it’ that Ader had brought to me on a wheeled tray and dragged it into the office.
“It would be nice if there was a process to theoretically establish the technology that emerged as my own… oh. What is it?”
Junior covered his mouth in surprise.
Afterwards, Lucas looked back at me and his shoulders trembled, Damian widened his eyes, and Evangeline cheered and jumped up.
I laughed wickedly. What is it?
“It’s cake, you bastards!”
“cake?”
“Suddenly, what kind of cake?”
Everyone was bewildered at the sudden delivery of the large whole cake. I crossed my arms and giggled.
“Thank you for growing up to this point and congratulations again.”
In the game, when you awaken, a separate ‘awakening pop-up window’ appears that emits light and acquires each unique job and obtains an ultimate skill.
Level 50 was difficult to achieve, enough to celebrate it separately.
It was difficult to level up, and it wasn’t easy to survive to such a high level in this crappy game.
So are these guys.
He survived those hellish defense battles and dungeons, and safely settled down to level 50.
If you don’t celebrate this, what the hell are you celebrating!
“Junior woke up without our knowledge and slipped by, right? Let’s celebrate together at this time!”
I smiled as I twirled the cake knife Ader gave me in my hand.
The rest of the party members took the plate and fork that Ader handed to them and looked embarrassed, but everyone smiled again.
I proudly held the cake knife, but I was inexperienced in sharpening the knife, so the cake was cut crookedly and beautifully.
Still, it looked plausible when it was divided into large pieces.
Ader served juice and milk again. We each put a plate of cake in our arms and raised our glasses to toast.
“Awakening! congrats!”
“I do!”
“Yay! If you give me cake at night like this, I want to wake up four times a year!”
Evangeline spits nonsense, but I let it go. Your lifetime awakening cake chance ends today, Yonsuk!
After dinner, I ate snacks in the car during a meeting, but I wondered if I could eat cake again.
Everyone ate it deliciously as they went with cream on their mouths.
In particular, Evangeline is almost slamming her face and inhaling. Eat slowly, boy… … .
“and! Super delicious! What’s that?!”
Evangeline’s eyes glowed with cream hanging around her mouth like Santa’s beard.
I clenched my tongue and wiped the cream off, then shrugged.
“Whoop whoop. I made a special order from the chef for today. delicious?”
“yes! I want to eat all the leftovers!”
“Yes, yes. Eat a lot and grow up.”
It reminded me of Evangeline’s round tummy that I had seen a while ago, but I decided to just let her eat whatever she wanted. Because it’s growing up… … .
While watching each other happily eating cake and drinking drinks, I sneakily opened the system window.
Rather than emitting light while awakening like in the game, it seems that each person decided on their own growth tree.
‘Let’s see, let’s see~’
Let’s look at the stats of our main party members after a long time!
