Episode 480 (3)
There are two types of people in the world.
Do you value results or process?
To put it bluntly, I belong to the forr.
No matter what the process is, as long as the result is good, okay.
In that sense, the current situation is not too bad.
‘After all, the count just needs to drop the accusation.’
To put it simply, if they can directly interfere with our raid and even obtain proof that they are from Count Alminus, the goal will be achieved.
Did he deliberately interfere with the subjugation officially approved by the guild?
With this, it would be possible to extort money from the count rather than just asking the count to drop the charges.
‘The raid success rate was low, but it went well.’
This is the reason why I was expecting more in the case of the big fish biting the bait than in the normal raid.
Survival is almost guaranteed with my strategy, but instead, there are quite a few cases where I miss due to lack of firepower at the end.
‘Actually, if Erwen hadn’t eaten the essence of Riakis this ti, he wouldn’t have dared to try.’
Anyway, considering all of these things, the chance of success of the raid I predicted was about 20%.
As the possibility of failure is remarkably high, it is a welco thing to have a higher probability option.
Hierarchical lords can hunt at any ti, but Count Alminus’ lawsuit is a quest that must be resolved in the near future.
“Sothing in the dark is watching you.”
Okay, seeing as my spine started to grow cold, it seems that the summoning conditions have been t.
“Everyone, don’t relax too much. From now on, he can be summoned anyti.”
We spent ti maintaining formations so that we could fight at any mont.
The reason is simple.
First of all, you have to summon them and show them that you will succeed in subjugating them so they won’t rush out from the other side.
‘The other side will know we’re wearing a body cam, so we’ll try to show up at a more decisive mont.’
“What about the crystal ball for Versil records?”
“Don’t worry. I’ve checked several tis that it’s working.”
“Then I believe you.”
As we were briefing one more ti on future situations, a change ca around.
“Sothing in the dark harbors feelings of hatred towards you.”
Yes, the odds have increased again.
“Bjorn… don’t you think sothing got colder?”
Surprisingly, Einar was the first among us to notice the change. After all, animals are the first to notice an earthquake.
“Get ready soon.
After my warning went off, everyone straightened up with nervous expressions.
And how much ti has passed in that state?
Hard.
The outer wall of the cave shook greatly, and the crystals that had lost their light began to emit intense red light.
「Special condition – Five people’s faith is t.」
「Dreadfear, the lord of terror, tests the faith of the pilgrims.
」
***
Dreadfear, Lord of Terror.
The 1st floor lord who is randomly summoned when 5 or more people gather in one place after the 3rd day.
The effect of this guy’s appearance is simple.
Hard!
the ground shakes
Shaaaaaaa-!
The dark field is dyed red.
“Climbing fear.”
“The character’s binding magic is canceled.”
The binding magic of those who et the summoning conditions is canceled.
And…
“The character’s field of view is limited to a radius of 2m.”
With the field of view narrowed, he slowly approaches.
“…over there.”
Passage of dark red light.
Tsuuk-
We quickly changed our formation in the direction from which the sound was heard.
Tsuuk.
The sound of footsteps, as if sothing were sticking to the flat cross section and then falling, gradually got closer.
Tsuuk-
Limited field of view to only 2m.
Soon, the mont when the guy showed up from the edge.
“…Wook.”
Versil vomited and covered her mouth.
Apparently, like a wizard, he didn’t have a good stomach.
“I’ve heard of it… but it’s awful.”
That’s right.
I felt it when I was in Corpse Golem, but no matter how well-drawn the illustration is, there are many tis when it doesn’t match the reality.
Just like that guy who appeared in front of us now.
Tsuuk-
He is about 1m 60.
Compared to the lord of chaos, Liakis, Dreadfear is a humanoid monster with a very small physique.
Tsuuk-
Two arms and two legs.
It walks on two legs and uses a greatsword made of bone.
However, just because it’s a humanoid doesn’t an it’s normal.
‘After all, zombies are humanoid monsters.’
Dreadfear felt the sa way.
It is only possible to recognize that it has a basic human structure, but it is difficult to recognize the exact shape.
It’s because it’s covered in maggots the size of a thumb.
Tsuuk-
The disgusting sound of footsteps that bloom every ti you take a step.
Took.
The maggots that fell on the floor wriggling along the shape of the foot they stepped on.
“…I can see why the explorers avoid it.”
“Whoa…….”
They didn’t vomit like Versil, but Erwen and Alia’s expressions weren’t that good.
Do I have to say that I want to die because I don’t want to do it?
In the end, only Einar is happy here.
“Ohhh! Is that him? He looks weaker than I thought?”
Yes, there should be at least one character like this.
“Hahaha! Why is everyone doing this! Straighten your eyes! You look like that, but you don’t sll!”
Looking at the dreadfear’s appearance, I sighed inwardly, but I felt a little better when I rembered the disgusting sll of the corpse golem.
After all, is a person’s driving force greater unhappiness?
I don’t know.
“Stop the small talk.”
It was ti to focus on the situation.
Tsuuk-
Soon, Dreadfear stopped walking at the edge of the visual radius. It’s small enough that I have to look down, but I feel a great pressure.
Hence…
“Behel—LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BEHEL—”
just ran first.
The best way to overco fear is to eventually confront it directly. If you actually try it, there are many things in this world that are not naked.
[Kiya Ah Ah-Ah-!]
The lines dashed scaryly, the maggot shook the sword.
Shouldn’t it be called a maggot sword?
Quaang-!
It was an unbelievable shock to see that it ca from that small body.
In terms of physical damage alone, it was comparable to Riakis.
There is one other thing to be concerned about right now.
Tududuk Tuduk-
The maggots that fall like a broom and cling to my body.
‘It was just an aura skill in the nimiral ga.’
What kind of aura is this?
「The character is infected with [Gnawing Horror].」
「The character’s SPR level continuously decreases.」
「The Dreadfear’s Rage level increases in proportion to the damage the character receives.」
Maggots crawl on the bare skin.
The skin is itchy and not itchy.
Well, this isn’t sothing that can be prevented with physical resistance.
「Versil Gowland has cast the 5th grade sun magic [Divine Fla].」
As I ordered in advance, Versil quickly applied the buff to .
It was the core magic of Phase 1.
In the past, Ghostbusters recomnded that you use this even when you sold the 1st floor lord strategy.
Well, it’s not that there are no substitutes at all
…
It’s the easiest to find and the most effective.
Originally, when you are worried about parasites, you cook well, right?
「[Gnawing Horror] is canceled.」
Okay then, the aura problem is over.
Quaang-!
As I was getting used to the pattern by receiving Dreadfear’s normal blows, maggots the size of human heads began to crawl out on the outer wall of the cave.
A typical token-type monster in Phase 1.
Of course, it wasn’t sothing I cared about.
Kwaaaang-!
Because Einar and Versil, who are specialized in wide-area combat, decided to take full responsibility for the miscellaneous mobs.
So now we have two manpower left.
However, I gave the two people a standby order.
“What about Emily?”
It’s not just the hierarchical lords we have to deal with now.
For now, it was necessary to keep an eye on the situation.
But…
“…Not yet. It seems to be observing the situation from a distance.”
I’ll keep an eye on the first phase.
Well, from their point of view, it’s natural. It’s still unclear whether the attack will succeed or not… and
there will be other optimal tis to interfere.
yes, in that sense.
“What ti is Erwen?”
First, I checked the current ti.
“It’s 19:57.”
About 4 hours left until the 1st floor is closed.
‘It would have been easier for both of us if they had co out a little later.’
I decided to move on to phase 2.
Apparently, it’s unlikely that they’ll co to sprinkle ashes in Phase 1…
Ti allocation is the key to attacking Dreadfear.
This bastard gets a buff in each phase.
‘The 1st and 2nd phases are every 5 minutes after being summoned.’
It’s best to skip the first buff if you can. The buffs in each phase continue to stack until the raid is over.
“Emily, you keep an eye on them. Erwen, you start now.”
So, the attack began in earnest.
Even though Erwen was the only dealer, I couldn’t feel any shortage as the chief of engineering.
Erwen, who even obtained the Hierarchical Essence this ti, is now at another level.
「Erwen Fornaci di Tersia summons [Dichloe, King of the Dark Spirit].」
As soon as I gave my permission, Erwen pulled out a special move as planned.
And…
Kwaaang Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang-!
It took exactly 15 seconds.
Until the first phase of Dreadfear ends and the next pattern begins.
「The feeling of resentnt that dwelled inside Dreadfear, the lord of fear, is awakened.」 The
afterglow of Erwen’s firepower has not gone away.
Thududuk tuk-
The maggots that were full of maggots on the body stopped moving and fell to the floor as if they were peeling off their skin.
Of course, it was difficult to see his face.
Black smoke shimred and covered his body, which was hidden by infested maggots.
‘Well then, the first phase is over…’
I quickly finished the midterm check.
I was able to summon 30 seconds from full mana last ti, so I’m using about half of my MP right now?
“Erwen, you should rest now. Watch the guys outside if possible.”
To recover MP, Erwen was taken out of the battle.
And…
“Emily.”
Imdiately after switching roles with Alia.
thump thump.
The corpses of maggots on the floor were broken like eggs.
Also at the sa ti.
[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak-!!]
[Kki hee hee hee hee hee!!]
The black mist protruding from the maggots began to fly around, emitting grotesque screams and laughter.
Einar exclaid in bewildernt.
“Aww! Bjorn! What is this!!”
Then I rembered.
Even
if he wasn’t afraid of bugs, he was afraid
of ghosts
. The sun was just too much, but it couldn’t inflict any damage on the target.
That’s because that fog is not a monster judgnt.
「The character has been exposed to [Pervasive Fear].」
「The character’s ntal level continues to decrease.」
「The accuracy rate is great. As it falls, it attacks nearby allies with a certain probability.”
The aura effect of the second phase.
“What about Erwen?”
“…Not yet. It’s still there.”
Hmmm, the other side must have noticed that phase 1 was over, but it’s still there…
I’m thinking of just
skipping
phase 2 as well— .
「The character has cast [Iron Fortress]」
「The effect of [Evolutionary Envelope] is increased by 1.5 tis.」
Unlike Phase 1, I received the sword while boosting my physical resistance.
Quaang-!
That’s a simple reason.
This guy’s physical damage has not increased significantly compared to Phase 1, but…
it’s not the only thing I need to be hit
with
now
. Alia LaneWales’ attack is deflected.”
Alia’s dagger flies at with its trajectory distorted as if ignoring the laws of physics.
Suddenly!
Oh really.
Co to the damn thing.
“…Are you okay?
” It’s okay, don’t worry about .”
In the case of Phase 2, the role of the tank is important. When
the aura explodes, whether it’s a long-range or close-range attack, the target is the person closest to the boss mob
. The standard is to shed blood quickly.
But…
“Behel—laaaaaaa!”
If there are no teeth, you have to chew with your gums.
“Yandel In this situation, it’s better not to use an aura—.”
What does this guy say.
” It’s okay, go on.”
Alia dismissed her concerns and clung to Dreadfear relentlessly.
It didn’t feel very good to be hit by a colleague’s weapon every ti a miss occurred, but what can I do? The
important thing is always a heart that never breaks
. If you think it hurts as much as that, there is nothing in the world that you can’t hold on to.
「 Einar Pnellin’s attack is missed by
[Breaking Fear].」
Even after fighting like that, when it was ti to use the skill, it was the ti when I spread the distance and proceeded with the attack calmly. ”
The feeling of resentnt deepens.”
The second phase’s buff has been applied.
“All aura effects are permanently strengthened.” It works.」
Has it already been another 5 minutes?
It is better to receive as little as possible of the aura enhancent buff in phase 2.
「The character’s ability level continues to decrease.」
Little by little, I feel impatient.
This is the tricky part of Dreadfear.
This guy will beco a monster without an answer in a long-term battle.
But…
‘It’s a glass body instead.’
The result of Alia and Einar swinging their swords throughout the battle without paying attention to the tank.
「The feeling of resentnt deepens.」
「The character’s body value continuously decreases.」 「
The feeling of resentnt deepens.」
「The decreased value increases by 50%. 「
The feeling of resentnt deepens.」
「Dreadfear’s anger increases in proportion to the decreased value.」
When the fourth buff was triggered, it was possible to move on to the next phase.
That was the part I couldn’t bear.
‘…I should have finished it in the third buff sohow.’
As a result, the probability of successful attack is lowered.
But I hurriedly brushed off my lingering feelings.
Well, the main isn’t a raid anyway.
[Kiyaaaaaaagh-!!!]
The mont Dreadfear scread in pain.
Shaaaaaaa-!
The black mist that had been flying wildly around and screaming was sucked into his body.
And…
「The fearful lord Dreadfear’s inner feelings of hatred are awakened.」
At the sa ti as the third phase begins.
“Mister! They moved!”
Finally, the baited fish began to flutter.
