Chapter 368. Gray Forest (1)
Pupperpuck!
Kwaaang!
“Keeeee!”
“Keek!
The shimmering sword and shield moved in a dizzying manner, and the limbs of the insects that were cut into pieces scattered in all directions. The
melee that had already continued for nearly 30 minutes.
But the endlessly swarming insects showed no sign of stopping.
” damn left. Look to the left!” “Now that’s wrong. It’s all wrong!”
I’m getting more and more cornered.
Is it the limit to hold on with my back to the tree?
It wasn’t easy to maintain a proper formation because the other players were running out of stamina and magic power.
Now, the only hope left is Teresa.
[Teresa is Activates Lv13 ‘Battle Song’!]
[Teresa activates Lv14 ‘Last Sign’!] Attack power
, defense power, and even recovery ability
.
When even the ‘Holy Lake’ was activated, the environment was prepared to be immersed in the battle until the moment of death.
With this, all preparations were completed.
Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaa
white cross that came down from the sky.
From there.
“I’m going.”
Teresa struggled for the last time Started.
Kwaang!
Deflect the claws flying from the side with the shield.
Phuk !
Immediately aim for the weak part of the skin and insert the sword.
“Kie-
ee!”
The connection situation.
Everything must be perfect to last even one second longer.
Teresa cut down more than 10 earwigs in an instant,
and then threw herself into the passageway where the large insects came in.
Blame it!
Quickly. Lightly.
Golden color. A
sword drenched in water crossed
the trunk of the tree
. Blocking the most troublesome places, there are only two places they can come to with this.”
“As expected, Mr. Teresa! it’s okay. It’s done!”
“The saintess of Amsterdam is with us!”
The players burst into cheers.
Thanks to Teresa’s hard work beyond expectations, they were making a retreat from the back little by little. If we reached the valley about 1km away, the insects would also come out. They wouldn’t be able to attack easily.
In this hellish situation, hope began to appear little by little.
But just then.
“Koooooooo!”
A scream resounded as if the gray forest was about to leave.
＊＊＊
Coo!
Trees left and right ” Very
, it’s a large species!”
Something came.
And that too quickly.
And a moment later, what appeared in the forest was a disaster that took away all hope.
“I can’t believe it…”
Teresa dropped her sword straight down. It
was because the enemy that appeared in front of me was so absurd.
It was about 8m tall.
It was a teratoma with 12 claws and 3 heads.
But what was even more horrifying than its appearance was the magic that flowed from its body.
Chiiik
! The surrounding grass and trees are burned black due to this.
It is a deadly poison that even the same insects can avoid.
[The fever venom king ‘Creiberatis’ has activated the special field skill ‘Declare Territory’!]
Gray The king of insects that rules the forest,
and the green confrontation created by that roar swallows the whole area
. Kek.”
“Sue, I can’t breathe…”
“I have to… get out of here right now.”
The players choked while covering their throats. As soon as they breathed,
a hot energy penetrated deep into their lungs.
Even though wide-area magic is activated… there is no change in the magic wave.”
It is impossible to guess how high the base magic power is.
“Is this monster the reason why the Church delayed the pursuit?”
Teresa gulp dryly. Just then.
”
Kieeeeeeee!”
Cray Veratis swung his claws at
a speed unsuitable for his massive size.
In an instant, the claws dug into the side and struck the body of one of the tankers.
Kwadeuk!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!”
The
whole shield and armor were bent and blood fountains spurted out
. I’ll draw attention, so everyone spread out! Scatter and bounce!”
The magic type player double-casted fire magic and light property magic.
Puong!
With a dazzling flash, the field of view was dyed white.
But.
It was a huge mistake to think that it created a gap.
The senses of insects are simply It’s not just specialized for sight.
Touch, smell, and hearing.
In other words, everything for hunting was optimized.
“Eat… I’ll take it away. Humans.”
Thick spittle dripped from the gaping mouth.
“Hahaha… If you do this, you’re just saying… to die…ah.”
Resignation beyond despair.
Dark death hung over his face.
That’s it.
Puffer . Puff!
The torn pieces of meat were scattered all over the place.
“Richard!”
“Damn it. If it can’t be defended, escaped, or disturbed, what the hell are you supposed to do!”
“Kuh! At least if the conditions were normal…”
If that was the case,
if only the entire raid team could play their role.
It wouldn’t have collapsed like this in vain.
However, hopes filled with assumptions are only hopes. The reality is ruthless. It
‘s
a
law
.
_
_ Despite possessing speed and stealth, he was unable to escape the encirclement
. don’t catch Grab it and eat it…”
Crickle! Crackle!
Crunchy.
It takes less than 10 seconds to devour a person.
And if it continues like this, everything will disappear into his stomach.
‘Time for everyone to escape . I have to earn. Even if I fall down.’
Teresa resisted the miasma and increased her divine power.
Ugh!
“Kuh!”
Magical power that flows back.
Detoxifying the poison and caring about the party caused overload throughout the body.
The pain that exceeded the limit made her conscious at any moment. I tried to block all my senses,
but still,
‘I can’t give up here. I can’t do that.’ Teresa managed to hold on to
her fading consciousness
– why don’t you just hand over your personality to me?
I’m not going to rely on you.”
-Huh. Our Sundingi is a bit stubborn. Even so, that chubby guy won’t look after you? Rather leave it to me and be comfortable. That’s the only way for both you and me. In my
ears The devil’s sweet temptation that burrows in.
If you ‘fall’, you might be able to escape from the current crisis.
However,
Teresa did not want to listen to another personality saying,
‘…you will hate it.’
The person I keep falling in love with. The
person I first met at the ruins of the tower and have been with me until now.
I didn’t want to show that person how his personality was gradually being eroded by darkness and changing
. En will completely lose her sense of self.
Teresa erected her shield at an angle.
Then, in line with the flying claws.
Bang!
The impact spilled to the side.
At the same time.
Blat!
With the center of gravity forward, she started to run.
Numerous claws flew . However, Teresa responded calmly.
“Kagagagak!
” Using the inclined plane of the sword to change the trajectory and make the tempo go off, stealing the opponent’s timing.
That
‘s it.
Teresa had dug into her bosom, where she was covered.
Now, all she had to do was dig through that inside with a sword full of divine power….
It was a huge mistake to think.
Buuuuu!
Something passed in front of Theresa’s face
. ..!?”
To be honest, avoiding the attack just now was pure luck, not skill.
‘I can’t see…’
I couldn’t even recognize how the attack was done. I
just looked at the furiously moving tail and thought,
” That was
used as a weapon.”
They flew one after another.
This time they couldn’t avoid it.
Kwaang!
“Ouch!”
With a tremendous impact, Teresa’s body soared high into the air.
After flying several meters, the body barely stopped after being hit by a large log.
Throb! Throb!
Among the rubble Theresa stumbled to her feet,
‘My arm… is broken.’
If it’s a miracle that you managed to stop it, it’s a miracle.
If it’s not a clean fracture, but a shattered bone powder, that’s a problem.
No matter how much you recover with the ‘Blessing of the Stars’, it takes time.
Of
course .
!”
The opponent didn’t seem to want to give it a chance.
…It’s over.
The faces of everyone watching were stained with despair.
Theresa also bit her molars in resignation as she saw the huge insect approaching.
Now, ‘corruption’ Even if it activates, it is useless.
Because the miasma has penetrated the lungs and reached the heart.
Boo-woong!
A claw comes flying.
A huge shadow is cast over the face.
“Ah…”
A pitiful moan flowed from Teresa’s mouth . But at that very moment, the
claws that
were
tearing everything apart were blocked
by
something
. Mr. Jinhyeok?”
“Now I’ll take over. Rest in peace.”
＊＊＊
The owner of the gray forest and the king of insects.
That was the term used to describe Kraberatis.
Amongst the fiercest forces on the 20th floor, the one who proudly dominates the vast area of the stairs is himself. Those who invade the king’s domain are mere prey.
But, ‘…what
do
you mean? What about this insignificant creature?’
The black-haired person in front of me couldn’t see the action the prey should take.
die in fear
either run away
Such actions as even clumsily rebelling.
But it doesn’t matter.
You can give the cheeky bastard the death he deserves.
cooong!
Huge pincers crossed it.
In order to tear the prey into small pieces, as it always has been.
and that moment.
[Trait…]
The surroundings were dyed black.
[…’The Grave of the Sword’ blooms.]
Everything is dyed black.
Kwak Kwah Kwah Kwah Kwah!
What followed was a black crescent moon covering the forest sky.
It is pitch black like obsidian.
That was the impression of the King of Insects who saw the crescent moon.
“Keeeeeeeee!”
A long burst of screams.
The severed claws of Kraberatis spun along the air.
“Because you’re looking at the moon on the subject of bugs, haven’t you lost a leg?”
“Kie eh… do you dare, knowing who I am, to attack?”
“It’s just a big bug eating a small forest, what is it?”
“Wow, a king bug?”
“Yeah. To my eyes, I don’t see much of a difference between a cockroach and you, right? It’s a bit big so I can’t step on it… is it the only difference?”
Jinhyeok was dead.
“I’ll kill… throw it away!”
Different magic powers were concentrated in the three mouths.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
Poison and fire. And lightning and wind.
A breath of four attributes was unfolded in one place.
