Chapter 209
It’s just the sound of laughter.
How big the world is, how can there be no one with similar habits?
I didn’t even think of that.
As soon as I felt deja vu, I accepted reality.
‘clown.’
One of the members of the Watchers of the Round Table, and the one who seemed to know the most and had the best skills.
That is the true identity of this man.
‘I guessed he was from Noark, but I never thought I’d meet him like this…’
The face-to-face with the clown I was so curious about.
However, the feeling of being happy never arises.
No, rather…
‘Fucked.’
What do we do?
Just looking at it, it looks damn good.
If I reveal that I am an investigator, will you just let me go?
‘No way.’
The weak thoughts that suddenly bloomed were thrown away.
This is tantamount to coming out that I am an evil spirit…….
What the clown respects is the lion.
Not this fucking barbarian.
The moment my identity is exposed, the clown will lose interest in me and become angry.
So I cried out
“Prepare for battle!”
front breakthrough.
If only fear can be overcome, it could be the best solution at any moment.
“You’re a bit barbarian now!”
He looks at me like that and gives me a happy look.
But thanks to him, did he come to his senses?
Raven immediately memorized the chant.
“Derva Timunes.”
It’s team voice magic.
Since it was a human opponent, not a monster, it seemed that he thought of turning it on as soon as he heard the sound of preparation for battle.
“It’s not funny.”
The clown, who had no content to enjoy, didn’t seem to like it.
It’s not something I’d care about.
“Everyone get behind me!”
As soon as he gave the order, he blocked the passage using ‘Giant’.
This is the advantage of the 1st floor crystal cave.
Although there are differences in each aisle
…
mostly narrow
Enough to block it with one giant barbarian.
“Behel—LAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
Calling the name of ancestors as if to shake off fear.
Then, after raising the shield high enough not to obstruct the view, focus all your attention on the creature’s movement.
pounding-!
The warrior’s heart started beating at just the right speed.
The heated blood circulates quickly and invigorates the body.
At least I feel like I won’t die blandly.
“Mr. Yandel, if this is the case, we can’t even attack!”
The wizard’s concerns were firmly dismissed.
“do not do that.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t he an unknown person? First, find out what kind of ability he has. Until then, don’t ever step out first.”
The most important thing in interpersonal warfare is information.
How did you develop a character with a certain concept class by combining 50,000 different abilities and items?
If you don’t know that, it’s difficult to respond correctly.
“That’s…! It’s the monster that killed the knight. But Mr. Yandel is going to find out by himself?”
Then what are you going to do?
“This is the most efficient.”
i am a tank
So even if you get hit by an attack you don’t know, you can survive.
But they are not.
The moment you get hit by an unprepared blow, the game is much more likely to be over.
“It’s no fun because I don’t know what it is.”
Without time to discuss the strategy further, the clown stretched out his hand in a cold voice.
Suddenly, there was a weapon in his hand.
‘It’s Mithril.’
An awl that emits blue-silver light.
“Just die.”
A low voice resounded, and at the same time, the clown’s figure disappeared in front of his eyes.
The lost time was not long.
If so, isn’t it a straight aisle?
‘Where to play sight.’
When the shield is slightly lowered, a clown can be seen taking action from an obscured angle of view. Hardened through numerous real battles, I quickly identified the attacking point. In
the ‘thighs…….’
battle, everything leads to information.
The level of wielding a weapon without thinking is over long ago, and each movement has a basis and intention.
If so, why did he aim for the thigh?
‘Is it also an assassin type?’
He must have thought that it was troublesome to pierce the shield. The first thing I upgraded with the money I saved after paying off my debt for six months was my shield.
‘If he had a head, he would have known as soon as he saw it.’
A large shield crafted from Tier 4 Metal Moonlight Stone.
Even Akzee’s sword had enough durability to withstand several times.
That’s what it means.
Kak!
Impossible to pierce with Mithril weapons at level 5.
Kakak!
Instead of just blocking it with my shield, I energized my arms.
“……!”
The body of a guy who is pushed without any resistance.
I entered one more piece of information into my head.
Well, actually, this is a matter of course, but…
‘Muscle strength is below me.’
I’m starting to think it’s worth trying.
I don’t know if it was 6 months ago.
I started with equipment and continued to grow in many areas.
As you can see, it doesn’t look like a dragon slayer.
‘Well, he hasn’t shown everything yet, though.’
I stared at the clown who stepped back, not letting go of my tension.
The first attack was blocked, but it is likely to be dangerous if allowed even once.
Didn’t you say ‘die’ confidently?
It was not a line to say while aiming for the thighs.
‘Then, is it poison?’
It is highly likely that the weapon is poisoned.
It could also be related to poison.
However, since nothing has been confirmed yet, all possibilities are open while making assumptions.
‘I think it’s about time to write.’
So far, I have only exchanged numbers with the simple physical bullet ability.
And since this is blocked, it’s time to use the skill.
“Oh really! I wanted to save as much MP as possible!”
Somehow I laughed out loud.
It’s a characteristic exaggerated way of speaking, anyway.
“…… Mr. Yandel! That person is an evil spirit!”
It’s MP.
This crazy bastard has no intention of hiding being a player.
‘Are all people from Noark like this?’
Well, I’ve already lost the royal family, so I don’t think there’s
any reason to hide that
it’s a demon…….
I thought I knew what Raven was thinking.
I am from Noark.
He had enough skills to kill a knight alone.
The city’s most notorious player.
“A corpse collector…?”
It was the moment when Raven muttered blankly and spit out the name.
“Kyaaah.”
I hurriedly turned my head to check behind me.
「Abed Necrapeto cast [Puppet].」
The corpses of knights and soldiers lying around behind them got up and attacked Raven.
‘Nimiral was real.’
There was no point in further denial.
Because the character concept of Corpse Collector is famous.
It was a good job that I also played a few times.
It specializes in curses and summons, and puts a lot of weight on agility stats in preparation for vulnerable close combat
.
Agile Poison Necromancer.
It was the job of the enemy I had to fight from now on.
***
I thought he was an assassin because he was aiming for vital points with a weapon like an awl.
‘Necromancer…….’
It was an obvious miscalculation.
They just looked at me lightly and tried to flatter me.
There was a real special feature.
‘It’s not like they were nearby by chance, they came to visit us.’
After knowing his identity, the surroundings where he was standing just now start to look different.
Perhaps he left the body there on purpose.
The reason is simple.
If you leave it pretending to be a corpse, you can use it like CCTV.
Come now, what does it matter?
‘There won’t be any need for exploration.’
I decided to focus on the positives.
Having gathered information on Orculis after the battle with the dragon slayer, I also know quite a bit about the ‘corpse collector’.
‘A total of 6 known integers.’
Of course, there will be 3 unidentified essences, and considering its notoriety, it will be a disaster for us.
But at least the class check is over.
“Everyone, stop fighting and step back!”
I hurriedly placed my order.
If it’s a battle with a normal summoner, it’s standard to get rid of the summons first
…
“Keep your distance first!”
In Poison Neck, each summoned item is close to a self-destruct weapon.
It means that widening the distance is the basis of the attack.
“Aruru, come here!”
“yes!”
That was the moment Einar was preparing to step back while taking care of Raven.
Flash-!
Gray eyes burst through the cracks in the mask.
“Abed Necrapeto cast [Curse of Stone].”
Nervous sensations numb from the feet.
I knew what skill it was as soon as I got it.
The essence of Medusa, a rank 4 monster.
Tadat.
Perhaps he wants to kill me first, he picks up an awl again and lunges at me.
It was definitely a fraudulent skill.
‘The reason there were no traces of battles around was probably because of this skill.’
Even an Amman knight would have had a hard time sustaining a level 4 essence.
It’s normal for an average knight to be level 5.
It’s hard to get hold of resistance.
‘Well, not me.’
Manticore’s passive skill [hereditary].
Over the past 6 months, I have filled all 200 stats of this passive with exorcism. Usually, job stats go up as well, but in the case of exorcism, there is a shortcut.
the result anyway.
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
My battle cry has evolved to replace the ‘Indomitable’ skill.
「The character’s Exorcism level is 400 or higher.」
+20 at the 2nd level of Immortal Engraving.
+80 from ogre essence.
+200 with Manticore passive skill [Hereditary].
Exorcism increases by about 40 with [Giantness] and [Beast Eruption]. If you combine this with an additional 20% increase from the Earth Dragon’s blessing…
[The character is given suppression immunity.]
Exorcism temporarily exceeds 400 and becomes immune to suppression skills!
「The status abnormality [Curse of Stone] is lifted.」
As soon as the numbness that started from my feet disappeared, I grabbed my shield and ran out.
Opponents were also taken aback.
Well, is it correct to say that I was dumbfounded?
“Ha! Suppression immunity? How much did you invest in exorcism!”
That’s a high praise.
The reason why I paid that expensive money and ate the essence of Manticore in the first place was because of
exorcism
. ‘ By the way,
it’s really fucking fast.’
He pushed forward like a tank, but like an agile dogneck, he easily opened up the distance behind him.
These bastards are tricky.
The body of a summoner is a weak point,
but they are very hard to catch the body of
. !! Freeze the body!”
“Yes? Yes!!”
“And Abman, as soon as I give the signal, blow a big one! So that we can create an opening to run away!”
“…Running away? Would that be possible?”
Well, the odds are 50/50.
But I’ll try.
It’s much better than the odds of winning a fight
. Fortunately,
Mr. Bear obediently obeyed the order. As
soon as he heard the name Corpse Collector,
he must have felt it to some extent
. ‘
Among the members of Orcules, he belongs to the upper ranks.
Of course, he ranks higher than the dragon slayer.
But…
‘I have a chance now.’
Due to the nature of his job, Necromancers aren’t very good at chasing. Not only that, but he’s showing a conserving resource consumption. ‘From now on, we’ll have to
fight until the Labyrinth closes, but I’d like to reduce waste even a little.’
It was a time when I was stepping on the backstep quickly.
Ah-Ah-!
The
cold air was delivered
from the back
.
“It’s frozen!
” Just say it!”
Mr. Bear seems to be ready.
I gave a short ambush signal and asked Raven to do one thing.
“Turn off Raven’s voice control magic.”
“Yes?
”
“Come on.”
As soon as the team voice magic deactivated, I looked at him and said
,
”
Hey
.
”
“well? This is the first time I’ve heard of it?”
That’s why foreigners.
I thought I wouldn’t know.
“The first thing is to stop talking
.” what’s the other one?
The clown nodded as if he understood.
“That’s…”
I blurted out and canceled the [Giant].
and that moment.
「Abman Urikfried cast [Enhancement]」
「Abman Urikfried casts [Hazardous Substances]……」
The arrow, which is the concentration of all of Mr. Bear’s skills, crosses the widened aisle. It was shot.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh
A cave that shakes like an earthquake.
Roaring!
Looking at the other side blocked by the flames that soared in an instant, I shouted more passionately than ever.
“What are you doing! Come on, don’t jump out!”
