Chapter 352: Jeju Island and Attack on Demon’s Cave (16)
“Ah...”
At that mont, Jisu, who was looking at the portal, hardened her face. She looked as if she tried to see through to the world beyond it.
“Sis, step back!” she shouted.
“Huh? Why?”
“You will find it hard even to step back a little later.”
At the sa ti, a ssage rang.
– The middle-level boss monster ‘Guardian of the Gate of Demon’s Cave’ has appeared.
“He’s co out earlier than expected.”
“Gatekeeper?”
The ‘Guardian of the Gate of Demon’s Cave,’ who was the final boss on the first floor of this cave, appeared as the middle-level boss this ti.
Thump- Thump- Thump-
He leisurely walked out of the portal.
Krurrrrrr...
The terrifying-looking giant growled, revealing his obsidian teeth.
The horns and projections growing from his back and shoulders wrapped around his body like armor, and he was holding a pole wrapped in blood in his right hand. Even at the end of it, the upper body of a person was stuck like a decoration. It wriggled and moaned as if it was screaming.
“Crazy...”
It was a monster created by feelings of disgust and fear.
– You have been overwheld by the ‘alien creature.’
* All stats decrease. (-50%)
Gasp!
Jimin almost sat down for a mont. The reduction in her ability by a whopping half ca as a shock to her. She wasn’t the only one who experienced it.
“Argh!”
“I can’t move my body...”
A large majority of the players on Jeju Island, whose level was low, flopped down.
Even players of the World Tree camp were complaining of similar symptoms. The appearance of the middle-level boss monster itself put Sungwoo’s allies into disarray.
“What the hell is that monster...”
Gasping for breath, Jimin looked at the monster. But, at that mont, she saw sobody walking casually around the monster. Jisu was there!
“Jisu, how co you can...”
Unlike the other players who beca enervated due to the drastic decrease in their stats, she looked pretty healthy, not affected by the stats decrease at all.
‘I can’t believe it!”
Rattle!
At that mont, a dark red armor appeared on Jiu’s body and began to wrap around it. At first glance, Jimin knew this was an extraordinary piece of equipnt.
Rattle! Rattle!
As if the golden tal was tempered with blood, the armor glistened with cruel beauty.
The wing-shaped decorations here and there seed to spread their brilliant wings at any mont.
– An ‘unknown energy (friendship)’ has appeared.
She had an aura beyond expression, which showed she obtained the ‘deity’ status.
Watching her sister stepping forward, Jimin realized sothing about her.
‘Gosh, that’s why you have not moved until now because it’s not the right ti for you to intervene...’
A ray of light ca out from behind her. Then, two blue tigers appeared on her sides.
It was the sortie of the Valkyrie, who was preparing for the worst.
In hindsight, Jisu was always consud by a sense of helplessness and deprivation when she was young. Because she was an illegitimate child, she was destined to be shunned by people, always conscious of how they looked at her. She exercised hard to overco such prejudices and discrimination, but she didn’t do better than her half-sister.
‘It was so unfair.’
Her sense of helplessness turned into the source of her frustration and resentnt. She resented her mother, who fell in love with a married man, gave birth to her, gave her a weak body, and died irresponsibly. So, she resented her mother until she fell asleep every night.
‘If I didn’t run away, I felt like I would be trapped inside those walls and suffocate to death.’
By the ti she grew to be a teenager, she gave up on fighting her inferiority complex and escaped. She left the house and began to live alone when she was a sophomore in high school.
‘I felt so comfortable briefly... yes, very briefly.’
Even though she left the house, she couldn’t overco her ntal illness completely. She just forgot it while she was living as soone who was a tad better than ordinary n.
But she began to revive her forgotten symptoms on the first day this hellish ga started. When she encountered a huge monster Orc on the mountain behind the school and fell after confronting the monster, she felt a sense of helplessness and resentnt, which she had forgotten until now, rising again.
‘Back then, I felt sothing like a wall again...’
But she felt sothing different this ti.
‘After that, I started breaking the walls.’
How could she break the wall? And why didn’t she do it when she was young?
“Lady, it seems that there are two. There’s one more monster.”
The voice of the tigers brought Jisu back to reality. She raised her head. A terrible monster standing before a purple portal caught her eyes.
“Right! I felt it, too!”
Soon, another ‘Guardian of the Gate of Demon’s Cave’ ca out of the portal.
Krrrrrrrrrr...
Finally, two middle-level boss monsters appeared, which plunged Sungwoo’s allies into chaos.
“No way! I can’t believe this!”
“How co there are two terrible monsters here?”
The players of the World Tree camp were brave, but they knew that fighting the monsters with their stats reduced by half would be suicidal. That’s why Inho, who was in charge of this operation, looked at Jisu who was determined to confront them alone.
‘We can’t kill them just by attacking them. If we join the fight, she can’t fight as freely as she could,’ Inho thought to himself.
That’s why she asked him not to help her during the fight. After all, she was going to confront the two monsters alone.
She grabbed the sword firmly and glared at the two monsters.
“We are the only ones who can fight with you.”
The two tigers standing to her left and right shouted, raising their hamrs.
“Yeah, I know.”
“We’re ready to join you!”
“Ready to play, it’s over.”
At that mont, a huge shadow approached them from behind.
“Hey, dude! How co you don’t even say hi to your Big Brother?”
He was the King of the Great Mountain. Co to think of it, he was also in good shape.
“Tut, tut. It’s just useless raising guys like you...”
The king grumbled to ‘Einherier’, the two tigers who beca her subordinate spirits.
Then, he turned to Jisu and said, “Lady, the two monsters are pretty hard to beat. As you know...”
Jisu nodded at his words.
During the battle in Taiwan, the Necromancer, ard with deity status and at level 21, had a hard ti confronting one boss monster, but this ti there were two monsters.
“You have to finish this fight as soon as possible because they use a wide range of magic...”
She slowly turned her head and looked at her sister, Jimin.
“They’re going to cause lots of harm everywhere...”
“Well, let fight the monster on the right. Jisu, get rid of the left monster!”
“Brother! You really make ...”
Not caring about the two tigers’ complaints, Jisu moved to the left.
“Got it. Let’s take action right away!”
The two tigers also moved with her. It was ti for them to start the fight without further delay.
Krrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
The gatekeeper monster’s expressionless face turned towards Jisu.
She didn’t feel scared at all while staring at his face. She was only thinking about how to fight.
‘Let attack him with the beam first.’
She already experienced it before, so she knew so of their attack patterns.
Not surprisingly, when she approached him from the left, the monster on the left raised his staff with a human’s upper body. At the sa ti, sothing like a beam of light flashed.
Bang!
A red beam flew towards her, but she avoided it by jumping off the ground. There was a deep dent in the ground where the beam touched it.
Bang!
The monster tried to attack her, who was soaring into the air, but she wasn’t there. She was already approaching the gatekeeper monster quickly.
