# 224
224. Mission Type Complex (4)
I looked ahead.
Beast King Kiadni was a middle-aged giant with muscles that seemed to explode and was over 2m tall.
He has hair like a lion’s mane, and sharp fangs protrude from his lips.
Saint Liane, the head of the church, was wearing a robe with the mark of Tel Icar and closed her eyes.
And the prince looking down at us with nonchalant eyes from the bleachers.
“He defeated that crazy witch.”
Kiadney continued.
“Very good! It’s been a while since I’ve been excited like this. Show me your strength! How much you’ve grown…”
Kiadni’s eyes turned to Kishasha.
Kishasha bit her lip in silence.
“I will take a closer look.”
Kiadni grinned and grabbed her right hand, reminiscent of a mace.
[No matter how you are, it is difficult to deal with all the heroes who are blessed by the goddess at once. Let me apply.]
“I don’t care!”
[This is an order from Her Highness the Prince.]
After a moment of displeasure, Kiadni laughed.
Liane stepped forward.
[Heroes, we have not yet escaped the bonds of sacrifice. But if you fail this time… things will be a little different. Please be careful.]
Liane bowed her head to us.
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
Triple warning message followed.
It was a sign announcing the appearance of a powerful enemy.
Whoops.
A white light began to ripple in the sky above the arena.
[Field is being set up.]
Knock!
A long object protruding from the light became lodged in the sandy floor of the arena.
It was a statue of a goddess praying in a reverent posture.
[The goddess blesses the entire field!]
Woo woo woo woo!
The goddess statue trembled once and emitted light.
[Sacred Power of the Goddess Statue – 50%]
[Blessing given – Prayer of Purification]
[Debuffs applied to all areas of the depths of chaos have been lifted]
Now I finally understood the rules of this mission.
I said to the members who were making nervous faces.
“Listen carefully. Our purpose is to protect this Goddess Statue and deal with them. It is to clear the way for the main force. If the Goddess Statue is properly guarded, the main force will be able to enter the field without the effects of the curse.”
I looked at the message on the right side of my field of vision once more.
The divine power value is 50%. It is endowed with the characteristic of ‘prayer of purification’. It must be because of this characteristic that the debuff is neutralized.
‘Depending on the conditions, the divine power may increase or decrease. The problem is…’
I looked at the two bosses.
Liane smiled lightly, as if she understood my intentions.
[Don’t worry. We cannot interfere with the Statue of Liberty. But they will be different.]
Liane pointed at the top of the castle wall.
As I moved my gaze there, a black portal was wriggling.
[Contaminated Human Soldier Lv.53] X 17
[Contaminated Human Knight Lv.61] X 3
Eventually, soldiers came out of the dimension door.
Their irrational eyes were directed toward the goddess.
‘Should I protect the goddess statue from monsters while fighting the boss?’
If you do this well you will get a bonus and if you fail you will get a penalty.
It was a clear rule.
[The curse has been lifted. What happened?]
“I’m too busy to explain. We can’t go back for a while. Don’t worry and go into the forest.”
I cut off communication with Edith and said.
“We divide the team into a defense team and a strike team. The defense team protects the statue of the goddess, and the attack team goes out and fights the boss. The defense team is Zena, Katio, and Velkist. The attack team is me and Kishasha.”
Belquist saw me.
I shook my head.
“Kishasha will be better than you when it comes to dealing with the Beast King.”
“…Okay.”
“Formation, but don’t get too entangled. Because they can be influenced by each other’s imprint.”
Everyone nodded.
Formation and cooperation are necessary, but there is no need to be overly obsessed with them.
I had black dragon blood, and Belquist had white dragon blood.
In addition, when looking at Kishasha’s transcendence hand painting, Zena’s protection of wind arrows,
and other excellent skills we possessed,
it was clear that the time to be bound by formality had passed.
[Monster Wave!]
[Round 1.]
Soldiers jumped off the wall.
They approached the statue of the Goddess with their weapons on their hands.
[…Whoops.]
Liane, who was watching us, smiled softly.
[You guys are incredibly strong. Did you accept the Goddess’ protection to the limit? It is understandable that Miss Persene was defeated.]
As she said.
Each member of the 1st party is close to a human weapon.
A bastard like that would be able to deal with hundreds alone.
I came forward with my sword hanging down.
Kishasha caught up next to me.
‘If I signal… rush at once.’
It made sense even without saying it.
Kishasha nodded.
My skills and imprint composition are specialized in short-term combat.
didn’t have to wait long.
I was thinking of ending it with maximum output from the beginning.
“Ha ha ha. You’re going to finish this dinner right away?”
Kiadney walked slowly toward us.
A mischievous smile crept across his lips.
“The more delicious the dinner, the longer it should be enjoyed. Why don’t you get rid of unnecessary decorations for that? You and me too.”
Supper sucks.
I spread my left hand.
“Halgion.”
[You’re calling too late!]
Pajijik!
Dark red lightning began to bounce from his left arm.
A precursor to the activation of Black Dragon Blood.
[…]
Irene, who was standing behind Kiadni, flew high into the sky.
Subsequently, Irene’s body disappeared in the darkness.
[Heaven and Earth. A fair death to all of them.]
“Kha-ha! It’s a warrior’s fight! Let’s enjoy it!”
bang!
Kiadney kicked her foot.
The sand pit rose high and its massive body rushed at me with great speed.
I held the bifrost in reverse.
It was the posture of invoking the spirit of the defeated sword.
‘End at once.’
I have no intention of engaging in trivial pranks.
Pajijijik! Lightning gathered at the tip of Bifrost’s sword.
‘die.’
[‘Han (★★★★)’ has entered an Exceed state!]
[Unique skill ‘Black Dragon Rin’ activated!]
[Skill ‘Sword Spirit’ activated!]
Lightning-filled flames dwelled on the sword.
Kiadni was swinging her fist right in front of her.
I lowered my sword.
[‘The left eye that ravages the heavens’]
At that moment, purple eyes appeared above the arena.
“…?!”
The flame at the tip of the sword disappeared.
“Hahahaha!”
Right in front.
Kiadni’s fist tried to slam into her face.
“Han! Be careful!”
Kishasha, who got in between me and Kiadni, struck him back.
Perong!
“Whoops!”
Kishasha, unable to withstand the shock, rolled over on the dirt floor.
I quickly pulled myself back.
“…”
“Why? Are you embarrassed that you can’t use the power you boast about?”
Kiadney shook her fist and smirked.
“Don’t worry. I can’t use my abilities either. Isn’t it a fair fight!”
stat window.
Immediately, my condition was displayed as a hologram.
Except for intermediate swordsmanship, all skill columns were painted gray.
The same goes for the engraved window containing Black Dragon’s Blood.
‘can not be used.’
I laughed out loud.
Above the arena, burning eyes looked over the entire arena.
The left eye that ravages the heavens.
‘It’s a very interesting pattern.’
Have a bare-body fight with that guy, is this it?
“Do you think I will avoid it?”
I smiled and swung my sword around.
I’m not saying we’re going to take off all the decorations and go head-to-head.
“Kyahahaha! Good! That’s how you become a true warrior!”
Kiadni burst out laughing and punched me.
and.
bang!
The body exploded upon me.
‘The only skills that can be used are weapon skills.’
Black Dragon Blood, Exceed, Sword Soul, or any other skill could not be used.
I swung my sword at Kiadni.
A fist pierced the side of the sword.
“…!”
I backed off a few meters.
A pain that feels like a tear in the hand.
It was an ignorant force.
[Monster Wave!]
[Round 2.]
[Contaminated Human Soldier Lv.53] X 23
[Contaminated Human Knight Lv.61] X 5
“Nothing is written. What is this?”
ping!
Jenna pierced the neck of a soldier as she jumped.
The workmanship was still accurate, but the contained power was lacking.
‘Jinhyeongi….’
The three defenders were scattered all over the field.
Normally, it would cover a wide range using engravings and skills, but…
“Kuaaaaa!”
A soldier shouted and rushed at the goddess statue.
When touched by the light emitted by the goddess statue, the soldier’s entire body melted and disappeared.
however.
[The divine power of the Goddess statue drops to 48%!]
[The prayer of purification has been canceled!]
[The debuff is applied to all areas in the depths of chaos!]
“Defense team, unite!”
I screamed with my teeth clenched.
“Form up! Form a triangle near the statue of the Goddess. Don’t let even one of them enter!”
“Why is the skill…!”
“Is this the woman’s ability?”
Belquist narrowed his brows.
I brushed off my throbbing right hand.
“It seem to be like that.”
Neither the skill nor the engraving is usable.
If so, the aspect of the battle would flow as before the 20th floor.
[Han…!]
Edith’s urgent voice rang out.
It seems that I received an unexpected baptism of debuffs while progressing through District 3.
I put my hand on my ear.
“Sorry. It’s our mistake. We’ll fix it soon, so wait.”
[I’ll hold on for a while!]
It was after Edith cut off communication.
[The airship ‘Easy Ho’ has been discontinued!]
[‘Darren (★★★★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess! His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Shequila (★★★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess! Her fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Jiran(★★★★)’ into the arms of the goddess…]
The death messages of nearly a dozen heroes came to mind in succession.
‘damn.’
Unit 4, Lee Ji-ho, was damaged.
It wasn’t a big wave that couldn’t be active, but it seems to have been hit to some extent.
[Current evolution: 034 / 100]
I gritted my teeth.
“Don’t let me go in. If we break through, the base will end.”
“Okay!”
“Come this way!”
Jenna and Belquist hurriedly ran to the nearby Goddess Statue where Katio was.
The three of them opened a triangle with each holding their weapons.
[ The divine power of the statue rises to 51%!]
[A prayer of purification is granted!]
[The debuff applied to all areas of the depths of chaos has been lifted.]
Only one monster has broken through the defense, and
the debuff is recovered soon. ‘The level of
divine power… seems to rise as time passes.’ It was a structure in which the longer you succeed in defending
, the more you benefit . It was
annoyingly
made.
“Is it okay if I sell my eyes!”
“Of course not!”
Kwaang
!
My sword and the beast king’s fist collided.
Shock enough to make my body tremble for an instant.
“What a fun joke!”
While competing with me, Kiadni kicked me in the back. Kishasha, who
was aiming at the rear, was tens of meters away. ” Not
yet…!”
While flying, Kishasha returned to her posture and jumped out again.
Sharp nails sprouted from Kishasha’s hands.
“Han!”
Kishasha licked her nails. I
drew my sword and immediately thrust in.
The two
attacks crossed each
other
.
“If you’ve been relying only on trivial things like imprints, you’ll never be able to defeat this body!” ”
Do
n’t worry about that.” I’ve never been
clinging
to imprints. I just passed through.
Bifrost drew an arc and followed Kiadni.
Skills and imprints.
It’s nice to have it, but… “You don’t have
to
.”
