◈ 491. [STAGE 23] Rock
Gooooooh!
Imperial flagship Alcatraz. on board.
I gritted my teeth as I looked down at the monster standing there.
“… It’s a complete Gorgon.”
The final phase of the 3 Gorgon sisters.
The last entity that ate the two who fell was transformed into a complete Gorgon.
This object becomes a boss monster with ignorant specs that has all of Steno’s strength, Euryale’s flight ability, and Medusa’s magical power.
‘If I had been there from the start, I would have been able to use an expedient method to get rid of it before becoming a whole… … .’
It is a meaningless assumption.
I left for the ecliptic, and meanwhile these monsters had invaded, and the city was savagely destroyed in every corner.
but… There are not only disappointing results.
‘The walls were intact.’
Lucas seemed to quickly give up fighting along the walls and let them into the city. Thanks to that, the castle wall was safe.
Since the minimum function as a fortress was preserved, the basis for the subsequent defense battles was maintained.
‘Above all, there are few casualties.’
The fallen manpower is concentrated on heroic characters.
It was because Lucas excluded citizens as well as ordinary soldiers from the front line.
It was the right decision.
Because the Mystic Eye of Petrification used by the Gorgon sisters is a wide-area attack aircraft, ordinary soldiers are bound to be knocked over if swept away by the range.
‘In the worst case, even ordinary soldiers could be sacrificed and the wall collapsed and the southern front could be penetrated.’
It was blocked with this amount of damage.
I bit my lip gently as I inspected my petrified comrades.
‘Wait, boys. I’ll get you soon.’
Of course, I’d have to kill that damn monster first before I could save the kids!
Gorgon Perfection – Medusa had a clear sense of embarrassment at our appearance.
‘How dare you do something like this to my city… … I’ll give you a harpoon!’
Having made up my mind, I shouted to the emperor sitting in the cockpit.
“The destination is just around the corner, Obama! Give me a little more strength!”
“… ash.”
My father was driving in an empty space with a haggard complexion.
On the table next to the cockpit, empty magic potions are rolling around, and he is drinking new potions with a straw.
It is similar to how an office worker who suffered from overtime for several days endures with Americano doping.
For some reason, my heart was broken, so I burst into tears of emotion.
“Soldiers and citizens of the southern front no! The image of Obama so dedicated to protecting all life on the front lines here… … Indeed, it can be said that it is an example of a ruler! Soja was impressed!”
“Pick away the plague. This father is dying… … .”
The emperor could not rest even for a moment until he reached this place after departing from the imperial capital.
Exactly, I couldn’t rest. To his father, who asked if it was okay to land and close his eyes for a moment, he rubbed his shoulder with filial piety to chase away sleep.
I forcibly fed him the magic potion and whispered in his ear as he was still having a hard time.
– If you stop now, I will give up the next throne.
– What is this crazy idiot talking about now… … ?!
I don’t know what you’re so sad about when you say I’m giving up the throne, but anyway, when I told you that, my father suddenly became full of energy and focused on driving.
So- Alcatraz, which succeeded in moving south at the fastest speed in history from the ecliptic to the crossroads, is now drawing a gentle landing line toward the crossroads.
I put my hands together and prayed to the emperor who was in pain with his tired eyes wide open.
“It’s all over, Obama! Now all you have to do is land near the cross road-”
That was then.
《Kyaaaa Ah-!》
The sharp shout of the monster rang.
Right after that, Medusa leaped into the air and blocked the airship’s path. Kiyiing
at the same time !
The monster’s eyes emitted a frightening yellow magical light.
In the first place, the view from the cockpit of Alcatraz was not a structure that looked directly outside, but a state-of-the-art magical engineering system that displayed the image projected by the magic panel installed outside on the internal screen.
So, the effect of petrification did not reach the cockpit. However, it was not the outer armor of the airship.
Quadd Deuk!
Alcatraz vibrated violently.
Facing the airship, Medusa recklessly fired petrifying demonic eyes, and the protective gloves attached to the outer walls of Alcatraz began to harden all at once.
Then the drowsiness vanished from the emperor’s face—in its place was replaced by deep anger.
“Did that bastard turn around?”
The emperor directly touched the devices in the cockpit and jerked forward what looked like gears.
Tuhak-!
I felt the thrusters on the back of the airship suddenly increase in power.
“… Obama?”
Cold sweat ran down his back. what are you doing now… … ?
The emperor’s profile was completely furious.
Road Rage.
‘Why are you driving this bastard like that?’ You’ve fallen into the same driver-only rage!
“Only the subject of monsters… It wasn’t enough that I dared to block Jim’s emptiness.”
The emperor pressed the control handle in his hand forward.
“Even scratches-?!”
Quaaaaaa-!
Alcatraz started accelerating and suddenly started crashing into the ground. What are you doing?!
“No, wait a minute, Obama! You really want to crash into it?!”
“I have to show him the truth!”
“Relax! This is the imperial flagship! Do you think you’re going to make fun of this expensive thing?!”
“Originally, crashing into an expensive boat is the most thrilling!”
No, like Kelly Bay, why are all the non-empty pilots in this state of mind?!
keying! Kiyiying!
Medusa fired the petrification’s evil eye without stopping,
and Tung! Do-do-do-do!
Alcatraz continued the charge, generously separating the petrified outer wall protective armor.
It was a method of purging only the petrified armor first before the energy of petrification spreads throughout the airship.
Although the outer armor was lost, the airship body was able to continue maneuvering without being eroded by petrification.
Medusa and Alcatraz got closer in an instant. And
《… In the end,
the first one to avoid was Medusa.
No matter how much Medusa is the monster of the mythical era, Alcatraz is also the empire’s strongest flagship covered with centuries-old ancient magic.
In the end, if you go to the head-to-head confrontation, this side is overwhelming in a pure mass fight. It was a composition that Medusa had no choice but to avoid.
As Medusa managed to get out of Alcatraz’s rushing path, the Emperor grinned, baring her fangs.
“under! I can’t even see your tail and you’re pulling me out! Who said that, you coward!”
“No, don’t be happy that you won the chicken race! landing! What are you going to do to land!”
In an instant, the ground came closer. I covered my eyes and screamed, and the Emperor sat me down in a chair and fastened my seat belt
.
I raised my hand up.
Then, the pattern engraved on the back of the emperor’s hand flashed and he began to directly control the giant body of Alcatraz.
Alcatraz reverse-injected flames from the thrusters installed on the front and bottom, reducing speed at once –
coo-gu-gu-gu-gu… … !
… Scratching the floor, I managed to make an emergency landing.
It was fortunate that he had somehow corrected his route and landed on the southern plain rather than inside the crossroads.
Chii-Ik –
Alcatraz slowly opened the rear hatch in this place where clouds of dust and sand swayed.
The emperor pointed his hand toward the open door and gave me a chin.
“Landing successful. Arrival, son.”
“… Thank you very much. Obama.”
I almost died in the last sudden acceleration. But thanks to that, it wasn’t too late and I came this far. I expressed my sincere gratitude to the Emperor.
“Jim is completely discharged from this.”
The emperor tilted the backrest of the cockpit back, took out a sleeping mask from his bosom, and put it on his eyes.
“Don’t take any luggage. Take care of the rest.”
Then I stretched out and within seconds I was really asleep… .
‘It deserves to be tiring.’
In order to keep such an empty ship operating without maintenance, the emperor poured all of his body magic into it. Even if he fainted earlier, it wasn’t strange.
“I will take responsibility for the defense of the Crossroads as much as you put in the effort.”
Unfastening my seatbelt, I staggered out of the cockpit.
Then, while sitting in the audience, I saw my elite heroes, whose faces were pale as if they were sick with motion sickness.
“Everyone is upset, but all of the remaining colleagues in the Crossroads are in danger of death. Every second is urgent. There is no time to rearrange.”
The faces of the heroes who were lost in their souls hardened coldly at those words.
The fate of his colleagues and the city was at stake.
For now, I have to grit my teeth and endure the air sickness.
“The tactics to deal with Medusa are the same as I told you while coming.”
There was no need to repeat or re-emphasize the operation.
These are the best of the best. If I say one, they will understand ten, and if I order ten, they will perform one hundred.
worth trusting
I nodded and shouted.
“Start the operation. let’s go!”
***
thump… … !
Medusa flew across the sky and landed in front of the flying ship.
Having already descended through the airship hatch, my heroes and I were ready for battle.
Medusa flicked her tongue as she glared at us.
《Very late reinforcements, humans.》
“On the contrary, monsters.”
I grinned.
“Now is the fastest. I know very well that it is better to move at least a little when you regret being late.”
《You are so positive.》
“Because a leader is in a position to give hope.”
Shrugging my shoulders, I put my hand forward.
“It is also a place to suggest solutions… I mean!”
There are dozens of types of tactics to attack Medusa, but in the end, the condition boils down to one thing.
– How to seal the evil eye of petrification?
The Mystic Eye of Petrification is not an ordinary troublesome gimmick. It has two main effects:
1. Basically, even if you make eye contact, you are petrified.
2. Even if you do not make eye contact, if the gorgon concentrates magic on the sight, it is possible to forcibly petrify the opponent.
So usually the mirror shield is forced to attack.
However, there are many times when it is difficult to see the opponent through a mirror and because there are many heroes who are not familiar with shield operation.
The use of the mirror shield itself acts as a kind of demerit.
And I have prepared a strategy for attacking the petrifying demon’s eye in advance by not using a mirror shield.
“Hannibal!”
“yes!”
When I called, Hannibal and the 5 elemental witches in the party rushed out all at once.
Even if these elemental spirit parties do not fight directly, they can give allies a variety of useful effects by temporarily dwelling in spirits.
In short, it can be used as a dedicated buffer.
And the spirit enchantment I asked them to do is… … .
“Gnome!”
Gnomes, the spirits of earth and rocks!
The duration is fixed, but while the spirit is enchanted, it absorbs some of the petrification effect.
The degree of eye contact is irrelevant.
Hannibal and the spirit spirits came out and made the spirits dwell on the heroes.
With this, the first gimmick is cleared. Heroes can face Medusa freely.
Now, the remaining problem is the direct petrification inflicted by Medusa #2… … .
《Did you mean to block my eyes with just such a low-level spirit!》 The
enraged Medusa roared and her demonic eyes flashed. The yellow magic light scattered and was ready to shoot at us.
“What are you campaigning for with a great demonic eye?”
Stepping forward, I shouted while stamping a black flag on the floor.
“Here on the front lines… I’ll block everything, not just your eyes!”
Whoaaaaaaah-!
Gray magic poured out and right after that, my ultimate [Flag in the front] was activated and a fortress was formed.
Not on my side, right in front of Medusa!
Koo Goo Goo!
My magic wall, formed as if blocking the monster’s front, blocked Medusa’s view.
Medusa’s Mystic Eye couldn’t spread out in all directions and only petrified the castle walls before being activated.
Medusa opened her mouth in annoyance and let out sound waves.
《This is it!》
Kugoong! Kwagwagwang!
The walls of the castle collapsed in an instant.
But already in the meantime, the next wall had risen around her.
《… ?!]
Kugoong! Koo Goo Goo!
One wall after another was built around Medusa.
My ultimate proficiency was already at a considerable level. It was possible to create a castle wall in the shape I wanted at the point I wanted.
“Let’s face it, monster.”
While wielding the strongest power in defense games, ‘Creation of Walls’ in front of an intimidated monster… … I proclaimed
“Are you quick to stare at us or am I quick to cover your eyes!”
Taat-!
At the same time, the heroes around me rushed forward.
In order to approach the monster now that the castle wall blocks the evil eye of petrification… … !
