Episode 289. Quick-fire ranker (1)
There are numerous weapons in the Tower of Trials.
From swords, swords, spears, bows, and blunt weapons, to various magic tools and holy relics.
There are literally all kinds of things.
Among them, there are two weapons that are reputed to be the most picky.
The first was ‘firearms’.
In fact, among the numerous players, only a handful of players used ‘firearms’ as their primary focus.
The reason is simple.
Normal bullets were not eaten by demons, so only bullets using magical energy had to be used.
However, magic bullets had the disadvantage of being very expensive and taking time to reload.
Of course, thanks to Korean game painters, the method of synthesizing magic within the body to create magic bullets became popular.
Because the magic synthesis process was unimaginably complicated, the trend disappeared after a while.
And the second is the sabokgeom (蛇腹劍), a kind of soft sword.
An unpredictable trajectory.
A risk that could even injure the user.
Among the Murim people, only a handful of people knew how to handle this weapon properly, so it was impossible for ordinary players to be able to use this weapon.
It was because most of them were chosen because of their coolness, and there were more cases where they were cut to death by their own swords rather than the Witchbeasts.
but.
There was a ranker who insisted on a weapon that others wouldn’t choose.
that buck
A pair of pistols held in both hands. And supporting this is the plain clothes sword worn around the waist.
Jinhyeok walked in front of the two witches.
“Keeeee!”
A green liquid spurted from the spider’s gaping mouth.
The acidic liquid gave off a sour smell and swept the area.
Cheeik!
However, when the green liquid melted the ground, Jinhyeok’s figure had already disappeared.
“At your height?”
It appeared under the spider’s chest.
Taang!
A red flash emanated from the pistol.
[The blue grade ‘Kryuger (pistol type)’ special effect ‘ultra-precision shooting’ has been opened.] [
Content: If you attack with the same strength in the same spot, a critical rate is activated with a 100% chance. (Error range: 0.015% )]
Conditions that require extreme acrobatics.
The Kruger was a weapon nicknamed decorative, not for actual combat.
Of course, for Jinhyeok, there were such conditions, but it was mana.
In addition, because Rick specially strengthened the blue grade, the basic damage of the weapon itself exceeded 10,000.
Fuck!
Red beams of light pierced through the hard shell and surged to the other side.
“Keeeee!”
Even in the situation where part of the body was missing, the spider swung its front paws straight away.
Insect-type monsters that could continue to attack for moderate wounds had to take their breath away completely.
Match the angle at which sharp claws fly.
Kagagagak!
The blade on the pistol deflected its trajectory.
It could be said that it was almost simultaneous.
The muzzle landed just below the spider’s jaw.
Perpuck!
This time, the flash completely shattered the spider’s head.
‘Whoa.’
Jinhyuk took a breath.
dreaming
Magical energy radiated from his heart and reached the pistol through his fingertips.
[Ice bullets have been completed!]
[Flame bullets have been completed!]
Magical synthesis within the body.
In an instant, two types of attribute bullets were created.
Right then.
Boooooong!
A sharp tail passed Jinhyuk’s eyes.
It’s a fast move that doesn’t match its size.
“Humans… melt… eat them.”
Transparent liquid dripped from the sharp teeth reminiscent of swords.
“Usually, if you have a brain, you’ll run away, but well, it’s because of its aggression that it’s guarding this place.”
one in each hand.
Pistols fired simultaneously.
Faaaaang!
As fire and ice mixed together, thick steam arose.
“You think you can get away with… this… trick…”
The cobra in the obscured vision instinctively stuck out its tongue and tried to sense its body temperature.
That flashing and fast flash was powerful, but it could be avoided sufficiently if it was shaken with its unique flexible movement.
If only I could stick my teeth in between and inject the venom…
it’s possible.
‘I just have to dodge about 10 times…’
It was obviously a weapon similar to one of the weapons that humans mainly used, called ‘arrows’.
A critical weakness is that there is a gap between one attack and the next.
It wasn’t that difficult to dig into that gap.
I’ll make you regret thinking the same as some stupid spider guy.
chump chump chump!
The cobra’s body moved as if it brushed the ground.
Puff!
A bullet that hits the ground.
one foot.
puck! puck! Puffer Puck!
two feet. Three… six… twelve.
That’s it!
however.
puck!
The shooting did not end.
Flashes of light pierced the steam again.
The light, thicker and clearer than before, began to rage like a storm.
“what…?”
Countless bullets flew in the yellow pupil.
“You seem to have intelligence of your own, so let me tell you one thing.”
The reason why he was able to rise to the top even with an unfamiliar and unfavorable weapon.
It is also because of the ability to create various elemental bullets.
Nor is it about finding vulnerabilities that can maximize penetration.
“There is no delay for me.”
quick shooter (速射).
The process of synthesizing mana, converting it into a bullet, and then firing it took less than a second.
That was the very ability that made even Chun Yu-seong, who received the title of swordsman in the past, stump.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
All Critical.
A beam of light pierced the scales like a thorn.
however.
[Black Cobra uses Lv18 ‘Shedding’!]
Right before the beehive, the cobra shed its shell and ran away.
Like an intelligent body, it is quick to give up.
Rather than being cowardly, it would be better to judge the situation.
however.
Jinhyeok had no intention of letting go of the guy who ran away with his tail curled up.
Tsutsutsutsut!
Instead of a pistol, this time a longsword was pulled from his waist.
[The plain-clothed sword ‘Red Lin’ is awakening!] As
magical power dwelled in the long sword, which had an ordinary appearance, the sword split and stretched in an instant.
The blades that cut across the ground and left their mark were like a snake.
snake chases snake
All the dirt and rocks were cut away, and in an instant they caught up with the cobra.
“It looks like you’re going to get caught by something like a sword…!”
Cobra made a sharp turn.
As a characteristic of flexible snakes, the process was surprisingly natural.
But at that very moment.
Tsut!
Plain swords also went off track.
A living, breathing movement.
Rather, it turned more like a snake than a snake.
That’s it.
Dozens of blades strangled the cobra’s entire body before it had time to react or avoid it.
“I won’t be able to escape now.”
Red blood oozes from the severed scales.
A little bit. He thought that if he moved his eyes even once, he would factor them out.
“What… oh… nonsense…”
“Fine. Answer whatever I ask. Is there a winged insect among those in the ruins?”
“Muh… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“That’s not the answer I want.”
Awesome! Kwadeuk!
The plain clothes sword dug into the flesh.
“Kuaaa!”
The cobra twisted its entire body.
“If you see an intelligent body like you at the entrance of the ruins, the ‘guy’ among the named must have come out of the cocoon. Right or not?”
There are named monsters that can grant intelligence, albeit slightly, to monsters that completely follow their instincts.
This guy must have been put in intelligence by that bug.
“M-That’s right. That’s right!”
Again, as expected.
The important thing is how long has it been since it came out of its cocoon…
“How many days has it been since hatching?”
“Six days… Six days!”
Six days is the time when you have already fully equipped with the ability to fly.
However, since it hadn’t been a week yet, the hypnotic ability using dust would not have bloomed.
One more reason to hurry with this.
“Good information. Very helpful.”
“Then… release this. Quickly. It hurts…”
“Sorry, but that’s not possible.”
It would be difficult if he even rushed over to warn them that a new enemy was coming.
The guys inside the ruins had to make the mistake of thinking that the Titan Guild was all intruders.
Jinhyuk lightly swung his sword.
Kwajik! Crunchy!
The plain sword cut the cobra’s body to pieces with a single blade.
‘It takes 1 minute and 38 seconds to catch two birds…’
It’s still a long way from returning to the original condition.
The speed of fire also fell by about 20% compared to the heyday, and the plain clothes sword moved about 3 degrees off the desired trajectory.
To kill the boss by the end of today, I need to revive my senses a little more.
still.
‘It feels good.’
Pistol and knives.
These are the main weapons that I have been familiar with for too long.
I didn’t want to use it for this climb if possible, so I hid it, but when I use it, it reminds me of the old days and it feels good in my hand.
If you use it in conjunction with your existing skills, there is no doubt that it will create tremendous synergy.
by the way.
‘I’ll have to start soon.’
If the butterfly guy started running amok, you risked wasting a lot of time.
Especially when there are players inside.
‘Realm of Wind’ and ‘Gamma Cheonryeongbo’ were activated at the same time.
Tsut.
Jinhyeok’s new model has disappeared.
Soon after, a gust of wind began to run through the inside of the ruins at a terrifying speed.
＊＊＊
“Whoa….”
“Hee-eok. Hee-eok. Hee-eok.”
“I almost died…”
A rough breathing sound came from inside the ruins.
Those who were covered with scars and were holding their own were players belonging to the ‘Titan’, a large guild in the United States.
“…”
The large man leaned his battle ax on his shoulder and looked around.
It was ‘Aidan’, a ranker who was in charge of the raid leader.
‘I haven’t entered much yet, but I’m struggling like this.’
The size of the ruins examined by detection magic is about 15 km.
Of course, the further back you go, the more powerful demons should come out.
However, the difficulty level increased to the point that the raid had to fight fiercely after less than 1 km.
‘This must mean that it will be more difficult.’
Aidan’s eyes narrowed.
I expected that it would not be easy because there is a boss monster on the floor, but the allied colony of insects, reptiles, and plants was more difficult than I thought.
I heard that it wasn’t like this when the European raid challenged a week ago.
Somehow, there was a gap between information and reality.
Right then.
“Aidan. This… Are you sure you want to continue?”
A woman with a long staff approached next to Aidan.
It was Mei Ling, an area damage dealer and another S-rank player.
Like a Chinese-American, black hair and round lines caught my eye.
“You must have felt it too.”
“Yes. The speed at which the magic power of the dealers is exhausted is too fast. The same goes for healers. At this rate, it won’t be easy for the tankers in the first row to hold on.”
Concern and concern ooze out from his tone.
“That’s right. But, I can’t back down here. If we prepare for more than two weeks and resign before we can do it properly, our guild’s honor will fall to the ground.”
Hundreds of new guilds are created every day.
It is
said that Titan is holding onto the American continent, but if they settle down, they will be weeded out someday
. I’ll take care of the vanguard by myself.”
Aidan grabbed the battle axe.
At the forefront…
…destroyed them all.
Kuku kuk kuku!
As mana was injected, terrifying momentum radiated from his body.
* ＊＊
How long had passed like that?
The attacking party, which was moving forward while fighting frantically, stopped in place for a moment.
“Mr. Aidan!”
Meiling
gestured and called Aidan
.
A cave with a diameter of 4m appeared.
“This is…”
“Yes. This is the passage leading to the boss. Judging from the wavelength of magic, the shortest route is clear.”
“I see, it’s not entirely unhappiness.”
Aidan smiled brightly for the first time since entering the ruins.
Now that he can fight the boss while conserving his full strength. ” Are
you going to go in?”
“Yes. Get ready right away.”
Aidan nodded.
But just then.
“You’ll regret it
if you go in. ”
