Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 353 - Burden (7)

Chapter 353: Burden (7)

Andrei shouted, “Watch out at the 6 o’clock position! Defend the 6 o’clock position by all ans!”

“Iron Wall!”

“Strong Will!”

“Soar up, Earth Shield!”‘

Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!

“Hey, Dealer Team 3 and Dealer Team 4, just turn back! Don’t stand grouped together in the sa place like that!”

When he shouted, a group of people began to move quickly.

“Fire Spirit’s Wrath!”

“Triple Shot!”

“Chain Lightning.”

:

“Biting Wind!”

“Solid Earth Spear!”

Those belonging to Dealer Team 3 and Dealer Team 4 launched all kinds of attacks on the gatekeeper of the 3rd gate

Andrei, the Borneche Expedition team leader, ordered them from the rear, but he tilted his head slightly because the gatekeeper of the second gate was much stronger than the current one of the 3rd gate.

Moreover, it seed that Andrei was not the only one who felt so.

“In general, the gatekeeper is supposed to be stronger as we move on to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gates, but I wonder if I am the only one who feels that the gatekeeper of the 2nd stage was much stronger than this guy here,” Lorraine, the guild leader of the Orleans Guild in France, said.

“…”

But Andrei did not refute his words.

Lorrain, the guild leader of the Orleans Guild, ca here for the first ti, but Andrei himself had confronted the gatekeeper of the 2nd gateway twice. So he knew well that the gatekeeper here was much weaker than the monster of the 2nd gate.

However, Andrei did not change his expression because he had no intention of confirming it to Lorrain, the Orleans Guild leader.

So Andrei had no choice but to frown when Lorrain suddenly said that.

Even though he couldn’t confirm it openly, he also agreed with the French guild leader.

“Hmm. It seems like it was a trap that compelled you to use the ‘Flute to Call Reinforcents’. And…” said Lorrain without finishing his words.

But Andrei could figure out what he was trying to say. He didn’t obtain the title of the deputy guild leader of the Bornesh Guild, one of Russia’s leading guilds, for nothing.

In other words, Lorrain was referring to the ordinary people left behind.

Watching the appearance of the gatekeeper who was much weaker than the one at the 2nd gate, Lorrain naturally recalled the 10,000 ordinary people.

But it was almost safe to say that they were probably all slaughtered by now. He was sure they were all killed without any exception.

So Andrei said to him clearly, “We need to keep moving!”

Lorrain responded, “Yeah, I guess so.”

Lorraine, the guild leader of the Orleans Guild, nodded without objecting. Anyway, the Borneche Expedition team proceeded to the 4th stage after getting rid of the gatekeeper of the 3rd gate.

In front of the first gate around that ti.

“Everyone, let’s move!”

“Got it!”

“Understood!”

After shouting at them, I stood in front of them at the first gate because I could not rule out the appearance of monsters at the beginning of the 2nd stage.

[You are now moving to the 2nd stage.]

A ssage rang as I stepped through the first gate. And I felt like I was being dragged sowhere.

But my tension imdiately left because what I saw was a safety zone. And soon, the ordinary people started streaming through the first gate behind .

It took so ti for all of them to pass through the 1st gate because of how many they numbered.

After confirming that they had all crossed it safely, we headed out toward the 2nd gate.

A little later, monsters appeared as expected.

Puck! Puck!

[Kheeeeeeeeek!]

[Khuuuuuuuuuk!]

The ordinary people here ford a mammoth group of 10,000, so they were inevitably an easy target for the monsters. While they were moving, they were exposed to all kinds of attacks by the monsters. But like the 1st stage, no monsters could cross a certain boundary because they had their heads or stomachs torn off by the roots sprouting from the ground.

“Alright, good job!”

I carefully looked around to check if there were any monsters that could withstand the roots’ attack, but none of them could resist.

Feeling a bit relaxed, I moved with them, albeit slowly, to the 2nd gate without any of them dropping out or getting wounded.

15 days later.

I was a little worried that the 2nd stage might be bigger than the 1st stage.

In that case, it would take a lot longer to pass through it.

Fortunately, however, the monsters appearing there were only slightly stronger than those at the 1st stage, so it took us exactly 15 days to reach the 2nd stage like before.

Of course, even if the stronger monsters appeared, I could kill them with one single strike using various skills.

When we got close to the 2nd gate, a giant Lich greeted us.

[How dare you guys set foot here? Let bestow you all with the blessings of death!]

So I commanded the group behind , “Everyone, step back!”

Lich mainly attacked using magic. In other words, the monster in front of us had a wide range.

But since I was a user of ice-type magic, my striking range was equally as wide.

“Got it!”

“Understood!”

“Juyoung Hong, don’t get wounded!”

With the crowd of ordinary people watching behind , I imdiately used Blink with a zero cooldown because I had to fight him as far away as possible to prevent collateral damage.

The mont I got closer to Lich, a ssage rang.

[You have been blessed with the debuff of death.]

– You are blessed with repeated death.

-The effect of the blessing of death increases by 3 tis.]

I knew in advance that the gatekeeper guarding the 2nd gate would not be weak because it was the one which forced the retreat of the Borneche Guild, one of the top three guilds in Russia.

Of course, that was why I ca here.

In any case, the debuff was used twice, and it was reinforced twice.

Because of that, I seed to fully understand why the Borneche Expedition was blocked here because of the blessing of death which was multiplied by a magnitude of three tis.

But it had no effect on because of my powerful trait.

[You have the trait, ‘All Buffs, All Debuffs.’

– You are not affected by the blessings of death.

-You are not affected by the blessings of repeated death.]

It was ‘All Buffs, All Debuffs’ that prevented even the debuffs inflicted by the system, let alone the ones inflicted by users or monsters.

That’s why I easily blocked the debuff called Blessings of Death as if it was no big deal.

After that, the tide of the fight was in my favor.

“Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!”

Pasasasasak!

Of course, Multiple Thin Ice was only level 3, so it might look ridiculous when used with Ice Field, but its effect definitely depended on who was using it.

And I attacked the sa way I attacked the ogre, the gatekeeper of the 1st gate.

“Ice Punishnt!”

Bang!

A huge amount of ice directly struck toward the Lich’s head.

However, the Lich withstood the Ice Punishnt as best as it could.

But it was inevitable that it was wounded. The dark blue shield around the Lich had obviously faded away considerably.

“Alright. Let see how long you can withstand my attack with your mana.”
