Chapter 461
After that time, Riakis recovers his body in an instant, and all the troubles that Flare Lee has done are gone.
But 10 minutes was a pretty reasonable amount of time.
At least by the standards of [Dungeons and Stones], which are full of more absurd situations than this.
「Purification rate 3%.」
You only need to properly feed one more shot within 10 minutes.
Then the boss battle will end without any additional patterns or phases. So, I tried to do the final work while paying attention to safety as much as possible without being impatient.
But…
Zhung-!
Erwen’s arrow shot through full charging passes through the air.
Is it because both eyeballs are upgraded?
I felt like I just saw something and avoided it…….
[…….]
Oh, please, I just want you to die.
I really don’t have time anymore.
「7% purification rate.」
As the battle continues, the impatience grows.
But maybe I’m not the only one feeling that way?
“Erwen! What if I shoot an arrow!!”
“If you’re dissatisfied, why don’t you try something yourself!”
“……Behel—laaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Einar, who had habitually blamed the AD, shouted and jumped high. Then, he climbed onto his shoulder and slashed the greatsword at the nape.
Slow-!
Still not deeply cut.
Maybe that’s why Ainar was greedy unlike usual.
Whoo-!
Einar strikes down the drawn greatsword once more while centering on his shoulder.
However, the attack did not lead to an effective hit.
“…ugh!!”
A tail wrapped around Einar’s waist like tentacles and lightly lifted up.
Fortunately, Amelia, who was nearby, hurriedly swung her dagger and rescued Einar.
“Ahhhh! …and thank you—.”
“Be calm, barbarian. At least during combat.”
“Ugh… I’m sorry!”
“Later, I apologize properly to that child. He is the second most contributor after Yandel.”
“……Erwen! I’m sorry! I scolded you for not getting it right!”
“…I didn’t even pay attention anyway.”
The warm sight of Amelia scolding Einar and Erwen shyly accepting Einar’s apology.
It was a very good thing from the team leader’s point of view.
But I don’t know why he’s doing that during the battle.
Even though time is still tight.
“At that time, hit me one more time!”
When I shouted with a little irritation, they seemed to have come to their senses a little, so they finished the conversation and focused on the battle.
coo-!
Just in time, the front foot swung once more.
Instead of absorbing the shock transmitted through the shield, it takes a step back and drains the shock.
‘It’s still worth trying.’
I forcibly calmed my impatient heart.
「9% purification rate.」
First of all, our current condition is not bad.
Although the MP of the dealers is hitting the bottom as much as they poured deals without rotation for over 30 minutes.
That’s all.
Yes, this kind of boss mob is because the difficulty of the raid drastically decreases from the moment you can hold it.
[Oh oh oh oh oh-!!]
Anyway, I started to make a sound again, but now the purification rate is 10%
.
What could the purification rate have to do with the serratus clan approaching?
“How long until Erwen’s next blow?”
“About 75 seconds!”
After that, I guess this is actually my last chance.
“Aaaaaaaa!!”
It shouted casually and clung to Riakis even more.
Originally, in boss fights like this, you have to periodically raise the threat level with [Beast Eruption] and manage to prevent aggro.
Ji-ik-!
If I block it with my shield and take a step back, it’s over.
Dealers don’t.
[Cleansing rate 15%]
It is certain that even a relatively solid Einar will be crushed after a few blows if it is properly hit by that front paw that he swung.
Because most of the level lords’ general attacks feel like that.
In the first place, why did I try to run away with only aggro in phase 3?
Unless it’s a 100% physical deal like phase 4, it’s impossible for me to tank alone without a priest and a wizard—.
“mister!”
huh? Is charging over already?
It’s only been 62 seconds yet?
“came!”
It was a short cry without a subject, but I immediately understood what he was saying.
‘Nimiral.’
It hasn’t even been 3 minutes since I first felt it.
How hard have you been running?
As I was scanning my surroundings while blocking Riakis’s attack, Erwen gave me the information I needed.
“right!”
Moving my gaze to the right, I saw a group of dozens in the distance growing in size in real time.
Therefore…….
Kuung-!
Throws the shield and hammer to the ground.
“……?”
Amelia’s eyes met, startled, then widened her eyes as she spread her hands and rushed at me.
Yes, where can I see such a rare scene?
Tadat.
It jumps off the ground and wraps its arms around the giant monster’s neck as if it were about to attack it.
And…
“Behel—LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”
After using the inertia of running, I rode on his back as if spinning.
Kwak.
I squeezed the guy’s neck with both arms as hard as I could.
Named…….
“Behel—Laaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Giant Barbarian Choke.
In a way, it was similar to when I was wrestling with trolls on the 4th floor before, but there were two things that were different from that time.
One is that both the victim and the victim have grown several times larger in size.
And the second is…….
‘what kind of power…….’
is that I can’t hold it perfectly like that time.
[Oh oh oh oh oh — !!]
The legs that were tied up with two paws were so easy to loosen. Well, just because the weight class has become similar doesn’t mean that the strength has also become similar.
“Rain Bjorn!!”
Soon he stood up on his hind legs, as if he were walking on two legs, and grabbed both of my arms, which were strangling my neck with his huge front paws.
’72 seconds.’
A contest of strength between those who try to hold on and the monsters who want to get rid of them.
’73 seconds.’
I tried with all my might, but it was not enough.
Crackle.
The wrist part of the titanium armor, which had already become a half-monster, was dented like a tin can, and at the same time, the arms that had been clamping down on the guy’s neck were weakly released.
’74 seconds.’
But what do you mean?
“It’s late.”
75 seconds.
Erwen’s charging was finally over.
And this guy is in a state where his guard is nicely released to take me away—.
’76 seconds……’
Why don’t you shoot?
As I gazed at the front with a questioning feeling, I could see Erwen stiffened with a string drawn.
Fortunately, I didn’t miscalculate the time.
“Shoot—!!!”
As soon as I shouted urgently, there was a flash.
Zhung-!
Seen from this angle, it felt like this.
It looks like it’s really thundering—.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
Soon there was an explosion powerful enough to blow my consciousness for a moment, and when I came to my senses, I was rolling on the bare floor.
Beep-!
Tinnitus was heard in the ears.
But anyway, the important thing is not the ears.
「Leaks, the lord of chaos, cast [Tainted Heart].」
I hurriedly stood up and looked in the direction he was.
[— ———————!!!]
The blackened man was crying out something in pain, but no sound was heard.
「The polluted power starts going out of control again.」
Like a water balloon pressed down with a fist, the whole body repeats itself growing and shrinking.
Einar and Amelia kept their distance from Riakis and pointed their weapons as if on alert.
It’s all over, so it’s okay.
「An ancient pilgrim rejects the tainted power.」
Soon, the body of the monster, which had been mutating like an unstable substance, swelled like an explosion.
And…
flash-!
As if a nuclear power plant exploded right in front of your nose, a strong flash of light burst out. Although the color was dark red, the brilliance of light was still too dazzling.
「The ancient pilgrim disappears.」
Within seconds, the light faded and my sight slowly returned.
Changes were simultaneous.
“——— ———!!”
The labyrinth no longer glowed red.
also.
“You have defeated the Lord of Chaos, Liakis. EXP +100”
“Bonus for defeating hierarchical lords. EXP +15」
In the place where he was, only particles of light split into thousands and tens of thousands were scattered.
「Achievement Achievement」
Condition: Defeat the first layer lord.
Reward: Permanently increase Spirit Power by +50.
It really means the hunt is over.
「Accomplishment」
Condition: Defeat Liakis, Lord of Chaos.
compensation: ???
A strange feeling lingers.
Even though it was the last blow, I caught the monster with my own hands who had to run away without daring to fight many years ago.
But there was no time to indulge in emotion.
Saying that the raid is over is the same as saying it’s time to collect the rewards.
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I still check between the scattered lights of cherry blossoms in spring.
what the heck did it come out of?
pounding-!
My heart starts beating like crazy.
First of all, there are three rewards given by the hierarchical lord.
A hierarchical Noble Phantasm that is a higher rank than the number item.
A layer stone that allows you to open a crack in that layer once.
And…
‘Please Essence Essence Essence Essence…!!’
In some ways, it is a hierarchical essence that is more important than a first-class essence.
‘The Noble Phantasm is good, but it’s still the essence!!’
After prayerfully waiting for a while, before long the glow of the halo softened and the longed-for was finally revealed.
「No.9999 Beginner’s Luck has been activated.」
…It was a constant.
Neither the Hierarchical Noble Phantasm nor the Hierarchy Stone were dropped.
“Rainy——Su——!!!!”
“——!”
Essence dropped.
But the problem is…
‘…Look at the expressions.’
Now, the faces of the Sawtooth Clan members who came close enough to check their expressions became desperate.
“———!! ———!!!”
It even looks like something is urgently yelling at me.
Unfortunately, I really can’t hear it.
So what do we do now?
There was no need to waste precious time thinking like that.
As soon as I confirmed the integer, I moved my leg.
“Erwen!”
“— —”
Erwen replied, but he couldn’t understand it because his hearing hadn’t recovered.
Therefore…….
“Seo — Jehan— ————? —than Ah—— —!!”
After grabbing Erwen’s delicate waist with both hands and lifting it up.
“Explanation later.”
Just like that, I threw Erwen away.
“…Knock!”
My gradually restored hearing caught a strange sound, but I didn’t care too much.
Still, the name is not experienced.
‘I miss something.’
At that time, I also fed goblin essence like this.
*** 「The [Essence of Chaos]
permeates the soul of Erwen Fornaci
di Tersia thickly.
」
The first thing I said after setting up was this.
“Why do you give me this…… W After all, the old man eats—.”
That’s what I was really trying to say.
Thank you for your heart, but you don’t have to be so burdened.
“It was an essence I would give you someday anyway.”
To be precise, it was when I found out that I had signed a contract with all the four great spirits.
The true value of this essence is revealed from then on.
I didn’t know that I would eat it so quickly.
“It’s still the essence of the hierarchical ruler…”
“Why are you thinking of leaving me after only eating the essence like the goblin essence?”
“No! Never! There’s no way!”
ok then that’s it
The Essence of Chaos is no match for a barbarian anyway. Well, since the value is so high, it will be much stronger than eating quite a few level 3 core essences, but…….
Tier Lords are limited to one per character.
‘It’s impossible to delete this from the temple later.’
The layer lord I will eat is upstairs.
Yes, so…
“Yandel.”
Now is the time to focus on the present.
Just in time, they also arrived here.
“Baron Yandel, what are you doing right now!”
As soon as the dagger jab at the forefront arrived, he screamed.
“I’m sure I should have told you to stop…!”
You’re not even doing the right thing anymore?
“Oh, I didn’t hear that.”
“Such nonsense—!”
“I wouldn’t have stopped even if I had heard of it.”
As soon as I cut and drew a line, the dagger-jabber stopped talking and glared at me.
Amelia called my name softly.
“Yandel.”
“Know.”
Before we knew it, members of the Cogtooth Clan surrounded us as if besieged.
It was a skill that hadn’t been done once or twice.
Wasn’t the dagger jab given some instructions? Perhaps this has happened enough times that I am used to it.
But I didn’t even flinch at all.
“Malid Kevron, vice-captain of the Sergtooth Clan.”
“…Tell me.”
“Did you even know what you were doing?”
To my question, he answered with a bold look.
“What are you doing? We’re just asking the Baron. Why did you ‘plunder’ Riakis, which we were attacking?”
“…….”
“As Baron Yandel, a former explorer, knows, the Labyrinth shows no mercy to plunderers.”
I thought that once they ate the essence, they would inevitably retreat.
“Even if it doesn’t do much good.”
You guys are really pissed off.
