ACT 5 Idea Maze (Ⅱ)
‘What the? That guy, he wasn’t just an ordinary NPC?’
Ark beca upset after seeing the spider like form that Maseutyu had transford himself into. However, a smile spread on Ark’s face after examining his information with Eyes of the Cat. Surprisingly Maseutyu was level 800. However he wasn’t an elite boss. No matter how high levelled the boss was, he wasn’t a match for 800 elite soldiers. Ark laughed and lifted his fist.
“Let’s start. It is 800 vs. 1.”
He opened his fist and headed towards Maseutyu.
Syu syu syu syu, syu syu syu syu!
A continuous stream of light appeared from behind Ark. They were hundreds of magic arrows. Fire, ice, lightning, poison, etc. All types of magic arrows flew in an arc towards Maseutyu. No, as soon as it was about to hit!
“Teleport!”
Maseutyu invoked a high speed incantation and chanted his spell with extravagant speed before disappearing.
“......Is he trying to buy ti?”
Ark muttered with a frown. Magicians who used that magic couldn’t be easily caught. Furthermore, ‘Teleport’ was different from ‘Warp’ where the location could be designated. However, Ark had a magician slayer that could destroy Teleport!
“Do you think you can escape? Burning Soul, use Stalking to keep track of Maseutyu’s location!”
Kurarara, kurarara!
“The rear! All archers concentrate on shooting 100 tres away in the 6 o’clock direction.......”
Ark shouted before flinching and closing his mouth. Maseutyu had teleported to the place where the attack squad was crowded. If arrows were shot blindly then the attack squad mbers would beco like hedgehogs.
“But having so smarts doesn’t change the fact that this is your grave. All nearby soldiers surround him and use Shield Stroke to cancel the spell!”
The soldiers flocked like vultures towards Maseutyu after hearing Ark’s command. Maseutyu just laughed and shouted.
“......Run out of control, demons! Shout, devil subordinates! Devil Explosion!”
A black sphere floated about Maseutyu’s head. Dozens of chains shot from the black sphere and tied up the mbers of the attack squad. The sphere exploded at the sa ti and the explosion ran down the chain, dealing rapid damage to the soldiers. All attack squad mbers within 20 tres of Maseutyu received a critical hit and beca paralyzed. As the other squad mbers ran up, Maseutyu just giggled and said.
“Kukukuku, Teleport!”
“Oh my god, what is this?”
Ark’s mouth dropped open as he saw Maseutyu’s battle style. While Teleport was a nuisance spell, it couldn’t actually be used for combat. The reason was that Teleport required 1 minute to chant the spell. Even if he used high speed incantation, it still required 30~40 to finish the chant. Furthermore, Teleport wasn’t an attack magic. Even if he chanted the spell within 30~40 seconds, it would only teleport him a few hundred tres away. So Teleport was only a magic that could be prepared before the battle began. Yet Maseutyu had solved these issues because of his two heads. One head used Teleport while the other one used Devil Explosion. While Devil Explosion blocked the attack squad mbers, the other head finished chanting the Teleport spell. That gap was only 10 seconds. Devil Explosion took care of all the obstacles while the other soldiers wouldn’t be able to reach in ti. Thanks to the two heads chanting Teleport and Devil Explosion, it was like twice the amount of magic.
“Damn, I can’t attack even if Burning Soul knows the location of the teleportation!”
Devil Explosion had an attack range of approximately 20 tres. The only way to stop Devil Explosion was using magic and arrows. However, Maseutyu always teleported among warriors so he couldn’t shoot the arrows and magic. Devil Explosion blocked close ranged attacks while Teleport blocked long ranged attacks.
“Hahaha, you stupid fellows! Devil Explosion!”
Kwa kwa kwa kwang, kwa kwa kwa kwang!
Maseutyu appeared among the soldiers like a fish in water and used Devil Explosion. Devil Explosion wasn’t powerful enough to kill the soldiers in one blow. However, the warriors surrounding Maseutyu were paralyzed so they couldn’t use Shield Stroke. As soon as Maseutyu used Teleport to escape, the attack squad mbers would instantly receive recovery magic. That’s why nobody had been killed despite receiving several attacks......
‘That guy’s purpose isn’t to kill the soldiers. He wants to waste ti.’
That’s right. There was no reason for Maseutyu to risk danger by fighting the attack squad. There was only 2 hours and 40 minutes left until the Dark Lord’s resurrection. As long as he tied them up for 2 hours and 40 minutes then the world would be engulfed in darkness. If this situation kept on continuing then it was highly likely that would happen.
‘But there is no way to stop him if he keeps teleporting between the mbers.’
Ark bit his lip and stared at Maseutyu. It was a simple but effective tactic.
‘Wait? He is appearing where the soldiers are gathered. Then.......’
An idea popped into Ark’s head. He turned around and shouted towards Roco who was singing the Song of Recovery.
“Roco, use that!”
“What?”
“The skill you used to trick Jewel in Lancel village!”
“Ah!”
Roco’s eyes sparkled at Ark’s words. Then she began to strum away at her harp with trendous speed. Suddenly the 800 people multiplied and the area was filled with thousands of people. That’s right. It was the Illusion Sonata that made Jewel and the bandit group wander around trying to find Lancel. It was the secret technique that she learned from the ghost lody.
“Hahaha, Devil Explosion!”
At that mont, Maseutyu appeared in an area crowded with soldiers and used Devil Explosion. The black sphere floated over his head and chains appeared all over the place. However, the chains just went through their body into the ground. They were the illusionary soldiers.
“What, what the?”
“Huhuhu, why are you so surprised? It is tightly stuck.”
Ark smiled as he raised a finger. The archers simultaneously fired their arrows.
“Huck! T-tele...... Waaahhhh!”
Maseutyu rushed to use Teleport but the arrows were faster. Maseutyu looked like a hedgehog as he was pierced by more than 100 arrows. And.....
“There’s another round. You stupid spider. Launch!”
Syu syu syu syu, syu syu syu syu!
Maseutyu had appeared in a place where the soldiers were created using Illusion Sonata. Burning Soul had predicted the location using Stalking so the archers had been prepared in advance to shoot hundreds of arrows. Maseutyu received the shower of arrows and 70% of his health quickly flew away. It was a natural result since Maseutyu wasn’t an elite boss and he was also a magic that was weak to weapons.
“Kuuuuoh, these guys.....! They dare to use such tricks......”
Maseutyu gnashed his teeth as he was hit by another shower of arrows. But Ark just smiled and retorted.
“A spider like you dared to call such tactics cheating?”
“You...... Don’t think it will end like this. Kuwaaaaaaaah! Co out!”
Maseutyu’s body shook as he shouted. Maseutyu who had transford into a spider suddenly shot thousands of fist sized spiders into the sky. They showed sharp teeth and headed towards the attack squad mbers. Maseutyu’s intention was clear. The spiders would pass through the illusionary mbers and attack the actual soldiers. He would then teleport to the place where there were a lot of spiders.
“What? Damn, he still had a surprise like this.”
Ark murmured as he stared at Maseutyu. Then Shambala and Bread shouted in desperate voices.
“Now’s not the ti to stare stupidly!”
“Yes, the illusions will be destroyed by the spiders.”
But Ark just laughed and took a deep breath. And he roared into the sky.
“It’s been a while. Spirit of the Cat!”
Nyaaaaa!
At that mont, the form of a black cat appeared above Ark’s head. Its eyes shone gold and it let out a large cry, making the spiders stiffen and fall to the ground. Spirit of the Cat was a skill Ark learnt in the beginning that made all small monsters in the vicinity paralyzed.
“I-it’s a scam!”
“You’re saying this? Salvo!”
Syu syu syu syu, syu syu syu syu!
A huge amount of arrows headed towards Maseutyu.
“Ugh, Teleport!”
Maseutyu fired the prepared Teleport. He appeared among the attack squad mbers again but Maseutyu didn’t use Devil Explosion. Thick cobwebs shot out from his hip and shot towards the maze. He realized that he was at a disadvantage and was trying to run away into the maze.
“Not a chance! Matanyi Shooter no. 1, Devil Penetrating Arrow!”
Timosi kicked the ground, jumped up and fired so arrows. The arrows flew like a flash of light and cut through Maseutyu’s cobwebs. The body that was surrounded by the cobweb fell to the ground.
“Now. Archers and magicians, attack!”
Hundreds of arrows and magic exploded from the attack squad mbers.
“Kuooh..... H-how annoying. But..... You guys will never get away from here. This is where you guys...... You grave. Kukukuku. Hahaha, kuaaack!”
As expected, the boss muttered so unlucky final words before screaming and collapsing from the wave of arrows and magic.
“Boring bastard!”
Ark muttered as the ssage surfaced in front of him. This was the archbishop of the dark church yet Ark only gained 1 level from defeating him? Furthermore, his experience had already been at 80% so Ark actually only got 20% experience. Even the attack squad mbers didn’t level up that much. Despite not being an elite boss, he should’ve gained more than 1 level.
“Damn, even the loot he dropped isn’t that great.”
Ark’s face beca even more offended as he examined the items.
Weapon type: Staff
Attack: 30~38 Durability: 55/90
Weight: 50 User Restriction: Level 350 or more chaotic black magician.
The staff used by Maseutyu, the archbishop of the dark church. The original staff of the dark church had a trendous amount of dark power concentrated on it. The dark power allowed an archbishop of the dark church to summon strong demons. But it beca lost when the dark church was destroyed by the soldiers on the continent. This staff is just an imitation of the lost staff.
