◈ 088. [STAGE 4] Pincer
Booung-!
The gargoyle chieftain’s mace, aimed at Lily, passed through Lily’s body. Like cutting water with a knife.
It was Lily’s characteristic [flaming skin]. Instead of consuming MP, he evaded physical attacks.
Kreuk… … ?!
The Gargoyle Chieftain was taken aback for a moment, but then swung the mace on his other arm.
This time, the mace was filled with dark red magical energy. Even Lily can’t avoid that!
I exclaimed urgently.
“Body bag! Lily!”
“Yes yes!”
Bodybag, the telekineticist, stretched out his hand and telekinetically snatched Lily out of the air and pulled her aside.
Kwakwang-!
The gargoyle chieftain’s mace narrowly grazed Lily and landed on the floor.
However, the wheelchair caught on the tip of the mace was smashed flat on the floor.
“Ukiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!”
Lily screamed and crashed a few beats later. I shouted in succession.
“God Hand! Take me!”
“yep!”
God Hand ran towards the falling Lily and grabbed her body.
“Kuh! Are you okay, Lily?”
“Wow wow… .”
Lily, who was confused and wandering around, was frightened when she saw God Hand’s face in front of her eyes.
“Let go! Because it’s okay.”
“But your legs are uncomfortable… .”
“It’s okay, let go!”
Leaving the two skits alone, I ordered the body bag again.
“Body bag! Take care of your troops!”
“I see!”
Bodybag quickly lifted the three archers who had been scattered all over the castle wall with telekinesis.
I turned to my party members.
“The main party rejoins the battle! Prepare for battle!”
The two gargoyle chieftains, perhaps realizing that we were their enemies, slowly walked in front of us, emitting ferocious energy.
Boss monsters have different action logic from normal monsters. A little more intelligent, a little more evil.
‘I’m trying to kill a more important enemy first.’
That’s probably why they attacked the archers and artifacts first.
Even now, after coming down from the wall, they would try to kill the dealers first rather than the tanks.
‘And me.’
They will try to kill me, the lowest level and most important commander.
At that time, Lucas, who was standing next to me in a hurry, frowned and said,
“Lord. The two boss monsters are a problem, but the remaining gargoyles are also a problem.”
It was as Lucas said. I glanced across the wall.
Wedge-Ae-
Aeg-Last hexadecimal.
The sixth wave of the gargoyle army was flying towards the wall.
It was natural for them to enter bloodlessly, as all the gust artifacts blocking the center had been destroyed. shit… .
‘I thought only two bosses would approach at high altitude!’
Of course, there was no such gimmick in the game.
Not some kind of airborne troops. I thought I’d come from above like a halo descent and slam a hero landing into the castle wall.
‘The defense was insufficient.’
He reproached himself for not considering the redemption more broadly and creatively.
but.
‘Still, there is a way to deal with it.’
The tactic to defeat the boss has been prepared and is still valid.
“The 6th Gargoyle Legion has a way to deal with me. Leave it to me.”
“Yes sir.”
Even though a hundred or so gargoyles were approaching, Lucas immediately accepted my words without questioning them at all.
That’s how much you trust me.
Then God Hand picked up the struggling Lily and brought her to us.
Lily struggled, freeing herself from God Hand and sprawling across the floor, huffing and puffing.
“Ha ha ha keuug Being saved by an elf… … .”
“Lily. It’s crazy, but let’s do what we have to do.”
I asked Lily.
“What about the other artifacts? Can it be started immediately?”
“Oh yes! As Your Highness said, except for the Gust Artifact, it can be used because it has been placed elsewhere.”
However, in case the enemies attack the Gust Artifact first, the other Artifacts were installed elsewhere from the beginning.
The alchemists were also operating remotely there. Thanks to that, I was fine even in this disaster.
“Go and maneuver immediately. Horsepower Amplifier Artifact. The target is me.”
“Okay, but I don’t know how to go because my legs are like this… .”
Lily hesitated, looking down at her own crippled legs.
I chinned to God Hand standing next to me.
“God Hand Lily, please. Move it to the artifact.”
“Aeg! With this man again?”
Lily was disgusted, but I stiffened my face harshly.
“This is not the time to judge your likes and dislikes, Lily. now it’s an exhibition Wake up and act.”
“I’m so sorry… .”
“Leave right now. I do not have time!”
God Hand hugged Lily.
A spark sparked as their eyes collided, but neither said anything more and quickly ran towards the artifact.
“Lucas Evangeline.”
I ordered the two vanguard knights.
“Buy time until the artifact activates.”
“Johnny.”
“Lie down and eat cake!”
I begged the confident two to trust me.
“The Gargoyle Chieftain is an absolutely formidable monster. It’s different from the gargoyles I’ve dealt with so far. Don’t be vigilant and calmly defend yourself. got it?”
“yep!”
“All right!”
“Okay go!”
Taat!
Two knights rushed forward. I turned my gaze to Damian.
“What about Damien’s horse gun?”
“Three sacks of Cerberus. Six feet per sack. There are eighteen feet in total.”
“Do you think he will eat you?”
“… .”
Damian, who narrowed his eyes and glared at the gargoyle chieftain, shook his head before long.
“The problem is the armor and helmet that the gargoyle is wearing. It seems to have high magic defense.”
“It’s accurate, I saw it well.”
The Gargoyle Chieftain wears armor with high magic defense. However, the body has high physical defense.
‘I guess you could say it’s like living armor turned upside down.’
In the end, he had to take off his armor with a physical attack and hit An’s body with a magic attack.
It’s easy to say, but it takes a lot of time. Besides, he’s not going to stay still.
“I will try to find the weak point where there is no armor as much as possible and stab it. But as you know, this horse gun is for close range… … .”
Since Cerberus is a horse gun made in the form of a pistol, its damage effective range is shorter than other horse guns.
That’s why you can’t force Damian to close combat.
“We need to restore the fireteam first.”
You need ranged support to take off your armor. I came to the side and looked up at the floating body bag.
“Body bag. What is the condition of your troops?”
The body bag showed a chubby face with left breast meat bent over.
“They all suffered major and minor injuries… The weapon was also damaged… … .”
“Damian. Give first aid to the Shadow Troopers.”
When he was told to work as a healer, Damian’s face brightened. An easy-going guy.
I looked at the body bag and nodded.
“Collect equipment that Damian can use while he heals. Your firepower is urgently needed.”
“Yes yes… !”
At the same time as Body Bag and Damian ran to the sub party members who were grunting on the other side.
Took. Tuduk. Patter.
A drizzle began to fall from the sky.
shoot it… … !
The drizzle soon turned into a downpour. It was overcast the whole time, but now it’s raining.
thud! thud! thud!
in the pouring rain.
The appearance of the gargoyle twin bosses approaching the top of the castle wall was quite terrifying.
I glanced at the sun, which was obscured by dark clouds. You can help me a little in this case. It’s fair.
Kreur… … .
A husky low voice leaked out of the gargoyle chieftain’s mouth, like scratching with iron,
and claaaa!
Immediately after, it turned into a vicious scream.
thud! thud! thud!
The two gargoyle chieftains started running at the same time.
Every step they take makes the bricks that make up the wall shake and bounce. The weight seems to be quite heavy.
“Whoa… !”
“Come in, come in!”
Lucas and Evangeline, who went out to the front line, each raised their weapons and shields.
In the next moment, the two gargoyles and the two knights collided violently –
oops!
Kwajik-!
fell out
Two SSR-class knights.
“Chehehe?!”
“Whoa!”
The four maces wielded by the Gargoyle Chieftain possessed formidable strength.
Lucas, who managed to let go of the attack, slipped backwards, and Evangeline flew for a long time in the same position as she blocked with her shield, then stopped with her feet on the ground.
“It’s heavy… !”
“Is the crazy shield dented?!”
The gargoyle chieftain twins attacked the two frightened knights again.
bang! bang! Kwagwagwang!
four sack each. A total of eight maces smashed the top of the castle wall.
Lucas and Evangeline, who were pushed out of power, were pushed back.
It is natural that it is heavy. Because I copied the boss with two bosses that should have appeared in the first place to have an appropriate level of difficulty.
However, it is possible to endure it.
Both Lucas and Evangeline are end-of-the-game tank lines. Any amount of time is possible.
and.
“majesty!”
The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived.
“Artifact Magic Amplifier! Ready!”
“good.”
I nodded loudly to Lily who was shouting from the other side.
“Make it work immediately!”
“yes! The power amplifier works!”
Lily and the alchemists activated the hextech device.
Increases the magic effect of one target character by 100%. The number of times is 1 time.
The target is me. ash!
Woo-woo-!
A light blue light came over my body. At the same time, I felt a surge of mana running through my body.
‘This is how it feels.’
Somehow, I feel like I can do anything.
Unknowingly, I used my 1st skill while holding the cow.
[Use the Mystic Eye of Command.]
[Make eye contact with the target to use the skill.]
For an instant, the world slowed down.
The light blue interface unique to skill use spread out densely over the world. I opened my eyes in it.
The guy I’m targeting is the boss monster, the Gargoyle Chieftain. Among them, the one who descended on the wall first!
The guy and I met our eyes. now!
[Capture target: 1 body]
[Please tell me the command.]
“You are-”
I commanded, extending my hand forward.
“Kill your comrades!”
Flash!
All of a sudden, the power drained from his body.
My heart felt tight. A nosebleed broke out. I swiped under my nose with the back of my hand. Kut!
[Command Difficulty: Hard]
[Contrast the user’s intelligence stat with the target’s magic stat.]
[Determine the success rate. Initiate the saving throw… … .]
The gargoyle itself has low magic defense.
What does this mean?
It means that it is weak against all types of magic resistance. In other words, it means that the mind control resistance is also weak.
If so, if I overdo it a little.
And if you use a magic amplifier that doubles all magic effects for one time only.
‘I can use mind control even on a boss!’
Tring!
Along with the sound effect announcing the completion of the judgment, a light blue light flashed in front of my eyes.
He gritted his teeth. Success or failure!
[Judgment completed!]
>Success: 1 body
[Executing compulsory command.]
Unknowingly, I clenched my fists.
“This is it!”
This is the game, you monsters!
