◈ 087. [STAGE 4] Sub Party
Sub Party The composition of the ‘Shadow Troop’ is extreme.
2 wizards. 3 archers.
It’s a combination you’d never try in a game. It’s a combination that is too extreme for firepower projection.
It’s a combination that will kill you if you’re exposed to the enemy without a tank or a healer.
But if those mages are both utility supporters and not pure dealers.
If there is a function to protect and assist allies.
This combination makes it feasible.
‘furthermore… .’
I glanced at the system window.
[Active Party Synergy]
> (Wizard 2) Double Mage: Increases magic attack power of all party members by 20%.
> (Archer 3) Mozambique Drill: Increases the critical rate of all party members by 30%.
An overwhelming deal buff that can be obtained because it is an extreme job combination.
If this party is running really well, it won’t be much of a chore to hit enemies with firepower.
God Hand, who was in the lead, gave a brief command to his subordinates.
“I’m going to the formation for the battle against the monster.”
God Hand raised his hand over the corpses of the gargoyles on the floor.
“I form the line of defense.”
Charleureuk!
The body of the steel gargoyle touched by God Hand melted in an instant and turned into a barrier installed on the floor.
In an instant, three layers of steel barriers about 1m in height sprouted on the floor.
As a metal master, the metal that God Hand touches can be transformed at will.
“Take charge of blocking and targeting the enemy in the middle of the body bag.”
“yes!”
“The other three… .”
God Hand simply ordered.
“Shoot.”
The other three party members – Old Girl Skull Burnout nodded in unison.
Old Girl’s double-handed crossbow, Skull’s big bow the size of her body, and Burnout’s… … .
Clap! Cheeky cheep!
It looks five times bigger than its own body… … A huge assembled ballista was being installed.
It appears to be twice the size of a normal ballista.
No, it’s more like a wagon than a ballista. That’s an archer’s equipment.
Kreur… … !
Clara!
The gargoyles that had landed at the end of the wall let out ferocious screams.
Normal children would be nervous, but the 5 members of the shadow unit were calm.
The jjambab that I ate on the spot is not going anywhere.
Push! Push-!
Three archers fired arrows at the lead gargoyle running across the wall at the same time.
Ting! teeting!
But all of them bounced out.
The gargoyle’s hard body made it difficult for ordinary arrows to even scratch it.
“It doesn’t work either.”
God Hand waved his hand.
“Permission to use skill. Skull mid-range. Old Girl close range. to the maximum extent of burnout. practice.”
“practice.”
“Okay~!”
“… .”
Each of the three archers responded, and first, Skull pulled his longbow with all his might.
Oh Ah-Ah-
The magical light of the arrow in the protests was so stupid that the arrow was shot at once.
Pucak-!
The arrow imbued with blue magic pierced the center of the head of the leading gargoyle.
Accurate headshot.
The power is also powerful, but the aim is quite accurate.
‘Is that why the code name is Skull?’
While Skull was tying the next arrow to the string, the gargoyles behind him quickly approached.
thud! thud! Kugoong!
Old Girl stepped on the barrier and ran toward the advancing gargoyles, breaking the barrier God Hand had set up without hesitation.
“I’ll test how strong these guys are~!”
Bolts poured out like shotguns from the two crossbows in Old Girl’s hands.
Fuck!
A bundle of bolts fired while scattering magic light turned the upper body of the gargoyle into a mop.
However, the gargoyle’s eyes flashed and survived without collapsing. Although it has stopping power, it does not seem to have received a critical hit.
“Oh, it’s pretty strong. Am I the limit?”
The babbling old girl looked back and shouted.
“Then there is nothing you can do! Burnout! Please!”
Then, Burnout, who was aiming in front of the assembled ballista, opened his mouth for the first time.
“Get down, power.”
Bang-!
In the next moment, hundreds of arrows were fired from the ballista at once.
It was a vicious device that fired arrows at the same time like a real singijeon. Whoa.
Quagmire!
The arrows that fell like a bombardment exploded as soon as they touched the gargoyle’s body.
The gargoyles, swept away by the rain of arrows, could not even scream and were shattered.
This is Burnout’s passive skill. Adding explosive magic properties to projectiles fired by oneself.
This is also why I took notice of burnout in the first place.
‘If you raise it well, you can optimize it for hunting trash mobs!’
pop! squirm… … .
Patter… … !
Shards of gargoyles smashed by the carpet bombing sprang up in all directions.
In the meantime, the few gargoyles who were not swept away somehow tried to approach the archers.
snap!
Body Bag, a telekinesis, magically snatched those gargoyles from mid-heat, lifted them into the air, and threw them back.
Kwajik! Kwadeuk!
The gargoyles, thrown and swept away by the gust of wind artifacts, fell straight down the castle wall.
Craa!
The last gargoyle of the 4th group charged forward with a roar.
He struck God Hand, who stood between the barriers, at the mace in his hand.
“Suck!”
God Hand, who narrowly avoided the attack by stepping to the side, placed both hands on the gargoyle’s side.
Charleur-!
Right after that, the gargoyle’s side twisted wildly, and a huge hole was opened.
Cra… … iced coffee… .
The gargoyle, half blown off its upper body, staggered and fell awkwardly to the side.
The gargoyle’s body is made of metal.
As long as God Hand, the metal master, can touch it, one-kill is possible.
Three archers unilaterally project firepower, and two mages block enemies with various utility skills.
This was the strategy of the sub-party ‘Shadow Troop’ for fighting against monsters.
The 4 gargoyles were destroyed at once. Damian, who opened his mouth slightly and watched this, murmured.
“this… Is it a real archer’s fight… … ?”
They shoot arrows with magic power, give them explosive properties, and share the lines of fire according to their own range.
It may be an unfamiliar landscape for Damian, who is playing the role of a sniper with only one innate characteristic without archery training or related skills.
“Incredible. me too… Learning sniper-related skills would be more helpful to Prince… … .”
I pat on Damian’s shoulder as he murmurs! hit
“Where is the real fake when it comes to killing monsters? Everyone is doing their best in the way they can.”
I smiled.
“You are irreplaceable, Damian. It’s already helping tremendously. Don’t worry about anything.”
“Prince… .”
no this is true Because Damian can’t learn archery skills anyway.
It would be more efficient to think about what direction to make your talents bloom as efficiently as possible.
In any case, the Shadow Troops performed a much better defensive battle than expected.
As a result, by the time the third gust artifact started operating, it was possible to annihilate even the 5th camp of the gargoyles.
The moment I saw the gargoyles falling down like autumn leaves, I thought that I could finish the defense battle with ease at this rate.
Tring!
An ominous system alert sounded in my ears.
“Damn it again-”
I opened the system window, blaming myself for not being complacent. what!
[Enemy Info – STAGE 4]
– Lv.35 Gargoyle Chief: 2
– Lv.15 Rock Gargoyle: 58 (Kill Counts: 302)
– Lv.20 Steel Gargoyle: 40 (Kill Counts: 202)
Enemy Boss information was updated.
“uh?”
Immediately after, I felt a sense of wonder.
This is updated only when the enemy boss appears on the field.
But he is still nowhere to be seen-
“… !”
The spine was terrified.
I hurriedly looked around and jerked my head upward in a flash of thought.
“Damn it.”
just as expected.
Something far up in the sky… … It was falling down at an inexorable pace.
“Oh god damn it! stomach!”
I pointed over my head and shouted urgently.
“A boss mob is coming from above! Everyone, prepare-!”
However, the appearance of the boss monster was too sudden and not everyone reacted in time.
In particular, since the sub-party members were fighting monsters on the front line right now, they were more slow to respond.
And
Whee Ae Ae Aek –
Tu Kwah Aang!
Something descended as if it were crashing over the wall.
In an instant, the entire castle wall shook finely with the impact. The bricks around him shattered and bounced in all directions.
coo goong coo goo… … .
It was a huge statue.
Although it is clearly made of steel, the wriggling whole body looks like a well-trained muscular body.
On top of the body made of metal, he wears armor made of metal again, wears a helmet, and holds maces of different lengths in each of his four arms.
Kreur… … !
Commander of the Gargoyle Corps.
A boss monster that is so powerful that the gargoyles so far seem to be charming.
“Chieftain Gargoyle… !”
It fell exactly to the spot where the shadow unit archers were, and the sub-party members who couldn’t avoid it were thrown out in all directions helplessly.
“Heheh?!”
The prefabricated ballista trampled by the Gargoyle Chieftain was shattered without leaving a trace, and Burnout rolled away vomiting blood.
The Skull next to him bounced off without even screaming.
“What is this child… … .”
The panicked Old Girl reflexively fired a double-wielded crossbow at the Gargoyle Chieftain. Tuhak!
However, the gargoyle chieftain stretched out his thick arms and casually blocked the bolts, then swung an underwater mace at the old girl.
Fuck!
“Aagh!”
Hit on the side by a thick mace, Old Girl bounced off the castle wall like a water swallow. this!
Frightened, Lucas and Evangeline jumped out of their seats and tried to run away.
“I’ll go apply immediately!”
“wait for a sec!”
I hurriedly restrained myself and hurriedly looked up at the sky.
“There is one more!”
“yes?!”
Due to the dark event, there are two boss monsters this time.
That means that the remaining one is also nearby –
Whee Ae Ae Ae!
“… !”
eventually found.
Through the dark clouds, I saw the second gargoyle chieftain descending almost at right angles from the sky.
“What he’s after… … .”
After quickly reading the second guy’s trajectory, I immediately figured out where he was aiming.
“What a damn artifact!”
It was falling exactly where the Blast Artifacts gathered.
I exclaimed urgently.
“Lily!”
I yelled out loud at Lily.
“Escape there! hurry!”
“yes?”
As Lily asked in bewilderment, at the same time,
she went crazy!
The second Gargoyle Chieftain, who fell like lightning, smashed the artifacts at once.
“ah… ?”
Lily, who was right next to him, was thrown up into the air with the entire wheelchair along with the smashed artifact.
At Lily, the Gargoyle Chief raises the mace in his hand and bangs
!
I took it down honestly.
