◈ 086. [STAGE 4] Gust (3)
The tactic is simple.
When Lucas and Evangeline are wasting time in the line, Damian and I take care of them.
The overwhelming specs of the two SSR-class knights. And Damien’s insane attack power.
It was a defensive battle tactic devised with faith in this.
But I didn’t believe this.
A variable called me.
Just in case of an emergency, this time, just like the last stage 3. I was thinking of carrying it myself, releasing all my hidden tricks.
however.
“… oh my god.”
There was no need for that.
The three party members I buffed were literally rampaging like monsters.
Taat-!
First Lucas.
Using her 2nd skill [Step of Tenacity], she is sweeping the battlefield almost as if flying.
Instead of giving overwhelming mobility, it is a skill that eats up quite a bit of MP.
I ate a half MP reduction buff, and I’m just using it like breathing.
I was on the other side of the wall, and when I closed my eyes and opened it, it was at the other end. If you close and open it again, it is on the other side again. Literally, it’s a lightning bolt.
With her nimble movements, she attracts the attention of the monsters and drives them effectively.
Because he’s doing that, he’s like a real evasion tank.
“Huh!”
Same with Evangeline.
It is already strong, but after receiving a defense buff, it became almost as hard as a tank.
“Hey, all you statues are born! look at me-!”
The approaching gargoyles rushed all at once to Evangeline’s shouts of provocation.
They wielded the vicious weapons in their hands, but Evangeline took them all with her shield without batting an eye.
And while the two were dragging the gargoyles like this,
thump! Bang! Tuquaang-!
It pours.
Matan’s rain.
Damian received an unlimited stamina buff for 3 minutes.
And he was proving with his whole body why this buff is the best.
The horse gun is powerful, but it is impossible to use it continuously because you have to absorb the recoil with your body every time you fire a shot.
This is why it is difficult to deal with many enemies even if Damian’s sniping is strong.
But for 3 minutes now,
bang bang-!
Tuquaang-!
Using unlimited stamina, it is possible to fire continuously without difficulty while receiving enormous recoil.
The ‘Black Queen’ breathes fire and uses the recoil to rotate her body halfway and picks up the ‘Hunter’s Retribution’ lying on the floor.
and fire again. body rotates. repeat.
The two long guns spewed sparks incessantly.
The heads of the gargoyles were precisely blown off, their necks pierced, and their upper bodies ripped off.
‘Because Damian’s weak physical strength is offset by the buff, such a formidable human weapon is born.’
I broke out in a cold sweat watching Damian from the side shooting a gun as if dancing round and round.
From now on, I will have to do physical training every day. The kid has become a different character.
‘Anyway, is this much better than I thought?’
I looked down at the maestro in my hand.
In the game, no matter how good the buff is, it only lasts for one turn, and it’s random, so it didn’t feel like a scam.
Even here in real life, I thought it was only a 3-minute buff item.
However, if those 3 people are the winners, you can see a huge effect beyond my thoughts.
After all, you have to use it in real life to know the real effect.
It was then.
click. click.
“uh?”
Damian, who had been spewing bullets relentlessly, let out a dazed sound.
I looked to see what was going on, and oops. The two long guns ran out of ammunition.
Since he had never poured out bullets in such a short time, besides, Damian himself was in a kind of trance.
The xanthan count was not counted.
However, the number of gargoyles wiped out in the meantime is staggering.
More than 30 gargoyles fell dead with just two long guns.
If only the remaining guys are defeated, their three formations will be over.
“Lily!”
I called Lily while Damian put down his two long guns and counted the ammunition from the next one.
“It’s time to get back to work!”
Lily’s face was reluctant, but she responded faithfully.
He raised his hands above his head and started casting magic.
I looked towards the end of the wall. Lucas is running like a bullfight with dozens of gargoyles.
“Lucas! Guide them this way!”
“Yes sir!”
Hearing my cry, Lucas immediately dragged them this way and started running.
I created and flew only one magical sword in the path of Lucas.
widely!
The magic blade that flew while spinning was stuck on the floor.
In short, it is coordinate designation.
“Shoot over there, Lily!”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap-!”
Instead of answering, Lily raised a huge ball of flame above her head.
It’s hot just to see it burning.
“Because of you monsters- I can’t retire!”
Huge fireballs were fired along with Lily’s hysterical chants (?).
It’s [Fire Cannon], the 1st skill Lily learned last time!
Lucas ran in a straight line and then used [Step of Tenacity] to break away from the spot.
Above the heads of the gargoyles who were stupidly running after Lucas—a harness of sparks was thrust down precisely.
Kwagwagwang-!
A shockwave spread along with a fiery explosion.
As expected of those with low magic resistance, the dozen or so gargoyles that were directly hit by the flame magic all melted to death while dripping with molten iron.
“Hehe… . hehe… … .”
Lily is also struggling and is about to die. He’s like a fire mage with poor magic fuel economy.
No, even if that’s the case, does one skill drain all of its mana at once? The power was great.
“hey! Leftovers! Let’s play with Irion noona!”
The last remnants of gargoyles left here and there were collected by Evangeline with her taunt skill.
By the way, you’re my sister… … ?
Damian shouted as the gargoyles gathered and raised their weapons toward Evangeline.
“Miss Evangeline! Raise your shield up!”
In Damian’s hand, he was holding an N-rank horsetail woodpecker.
It is a horse gun that became a barrage form due to a mistake in the manufacturing process.
Evangeline, who lowered her stance, raised her shield upwards, and Damian fired a horse gun at the shield.
Too-ta-ta-ta-!
Dozens of magic bullets poured out from the magic gun in an instant.
Evangeline received it with her shield, and ricocheted magic bullets ricocheted ferociously in all directions along the slope of the shield.
puck! Bubbeobbubuck… … !
And all of those magic bullets were pinned right into the gargoyle’s eyes or forehead. I opened my mouth wide.
‘Did you even calculate the trajectory of the bullet bouncing off the shield? Dozens of feet?’
It sounds crazy nonsense, but Damian has [Clairsight].
Considering the miraculous aiming skills he has shown so far, he must have really aimed and shot everything, not over.
Creepy?!
Clara… … !
Amidst the screaming monsters, the light that gathered on Evangeline’s shield moved to the lance.
Evangeline’s [Damage Save] saves the received damage.
In short, it means that physical damage is saved when receiving physical damage, and magic damage is saved when receiving magic damage.
In other words, all the damage stored after receiving dozens of magic bullets is magical.
Tuquaak-!
The cavalry spear rose upward, and [Damage Payback], which stored magic damage, exploded.
The intangible energy burst from the tip of Evangeline’s spear shattered the last gargoyles.
Evangeline laughed coolly among the gargoyle fragments bouncing in all directions like fireworks.
“Wow, you just got sick, Mr. Sniper! Try again later!”
“Haha, it consumes too much ammunition to do it often… .”
Not only does it consume ammo, but it also seems to consume a lot of stamina.
Damian’s complexion was visibly paler, probably because he had just performed a trick after the buff I gave him ended.
Evangeline also fought with the defense buff turned off at the end, but she didn’t hide her regret, as if the experience was great.
“Senior’s… … the hawk of that love? The effect is good, but the duration is too short. Can’t it be longer?”
“Unfortunately, it’s only for a short time once a day. Even if the original stimulation feels good, it becomes dull when repeated.”
“It’s cumbersome and perverted… .”
Lucas looked at something and saw that he was slicing the throats of gargoyles who were still breathing and crawling with his sword.
“You’re amazing for cutting down even a monster made of steel. hey.”
“It feels like cutting rather than cutting, but even if you use the skill, the weapon wears out.”
Returning to me, Lucas showed me his longsword.
It’s the R-rank longsword ‘Rat Cutter’ I gave you before. The blades, which were like saw blades, are all damaged.
“They are definitely strong guys. Unless it’s in a weakened state, the sword won’t stick.”
“Anyway, I annihilated the third generation much more easily than I thought.”
I looked around at the party members and grinned.
“As expected, they are like my elite. Good job!”
All the party members smiled at my praise.
At the same time,
“Artifact cooldown complete! Maneuverable!”
Lily’s cry was heard.
Perhaps it was because of one big magic blow, his voice was drained of strength. Still, the content is hopeful.
“Activate the artifact!”
“It activates!”
Aaaah-!
Again, a gust of wind began to blow through the center of the wall.
The 4th gargoyle, which flew in after the 3rd, was swept away by a gust of wind and began to fall similarly to the ones before them.
It’s fortunate that I got through the third jin more easily than I thought. Anyway, there was consumption.
“There’s almost no leftovers now, Prince.”
Damian said carefully.
Damien’s two long guns, ‘Black Queen’ and ‘Hunter’s Retribution’, were completely scratched to the bottom, and the short gun, ‘Woodpecker’, was almost finished.
All that remains is the Cerberus, three pistols. However, the damage is low and the effective range is much shorter.
I checked the status of the other party members as well.
Lucas’s sword is worn out, and Evangeline’s shield is also tattered.
Lily is still weak and panting.
‘I still have something in reserve.’
It can be said that the main party has done enough for this. It’s time to reorganize.
I looked back and cried.
“Shadow troops!”
As if they had waited, 5 members of the shadow unit came forward and bowed their heads to me.
“Please tell me.”
“Switch. Stop them like our main party did. I will join you if it is necessary.”
“Rest in peace, Your Highness.”
God Hand, the leader of the shadow unit, spoke confidently in a calm voice.
“I won’t have to join you.”
Boy and girl elves wearing hoods and covering their faces with hoods.
The 5 shadow troops stood at the forefront of the castle wall with nimble movements.
Each member of the main party had a different view of such a sub-party.
“Is it really okay… .”
Lucas put on a worried expression.
“I can finally see with my own two eyes. The skills of the Aegis task force.”
Evangeline had a face of anticipation.
“… .”
Lily was glaring at God Hand’s back with her brow furrowed.
“uh… um something… … .”
Finally, Damian, who had no idea what was going on, blinked his eyes in embarrassment at the current between the main party and the sub party.
“Is it something I don’t have to know about?”
“then.”
I stroked the head of such an innocent sniper.
“It’s something we’ll see more often in the future.”
New sub parties will continue to be recruited in the future.
In fact, it’s only natural that there’s a fight between the old members and the new members.
Wouldn’t it be even more strange if you get close and get along right away without going through this process?
‘Make us acknowledge you, Shadow Squad! Show me your skills!’
thud! Kung! Koo Goo Goong!
The 4 gargoyles that broke through the wall of wind began to land at the end of the wall.
And in front of him, five elven child soldiers flapped their uniform coats – each drawing their own weapons.
