Golden Experience

Lesson 237: The Archangel Crusade

I have a special assignment.

Yes, it was told straight away by Lord Reiliene, and Justine was coming to a tent outside the Hugel Cup.

I knew the Senpai Knights were doing some work around here.

Soon afterwards there was a circular from a system message, which apparently was something of an event entanglement.

I guess that instruction didn't come to Justine because Justine is a player.

Not to say how you've become a knight of lords doesn't just mean you can stick your neck in preparation for the event.

That special assignment, communicated by Lyriene, was about asking the collaborators to lend a hand and participate in the archangel crusade.

Apparently, if you engage with an official event while the Knight's event is in progress, this is how the Lord's side also requests to participate. I appreciate being able to participate openly in an official event even while another dedicated scenario is underway.

But that was all that was purely floating, and I was so surprised that the moment I heard the name of that collaborator, I jumped up.

My God, it seems that an ally is the Virgin of Wealth.

I was surprised that the Virgin could even participate in the NPC.

But I couldn't ask the lord so straight, and I was agonized, but Liliene taught me that casually.

To summarize Liliene's story in a straightforward way, here's the thing.

As a specification of the artifact, all characters in the range are transferred upon activation.

The character that is transferred at that time does not matter whether it is a player character or a non-player character.

Since there is no specific confirmation from the system during artifact startup, it seems that startup and NPC alone are possible in the first place.

Even Rilienne seemed to realize that artifacts were necessary for the world to crush the Archangels, and in the worst case scenario, the Knights alone were going to do it.

If the lord tells you such a thing in person, you can't refuse.

I didn't mean to do that from the beginning.

This is a premium event that no other player can experience, such as the Laid Battle alongside the rumored Virgin.

Having said that, I have been told not to hesitate to speak if there seems to be any other Gentile collaborators since I went to the site.

"─ Thank you, Justine. I'm sorry I pushed you into an unpleasant role. I was wondering if the same Gentiles would be better off if we were to be careful."

"No, I'm fine. I would certainly be the right person."

He praised the noisy players and was labored to return to the waiting tent of Lyriene.

The system message also specifies that the Knights will be dealt with if an attack is made in the vicinity.

While it was true that Youth appeared in a majestic group of monsters to crush their livers, they were very calm and did not intend to take hostile action against us.

Normal monsters don't have that kind of control, which means it's natural to think that everything is a player.

Attacking unilaterally corresponds to PK.

If we find more than limited PK around here, we have to stop it.

Youth is a player, but also a knight of this Hugel Cup.

If you look, the Virgin looked at a group of goblins and did a little jaw-drawn trick.

You still belong to a holy church, and if you see monsters like Goblin, you can't help but see them, even if they're out of sight.

"─ ─ What's wrong? The Virgin, she was staring over there."

"Huh? Oh, no. Some of those people, I thought."

"You'd be surprised, but I think we're on our side only this time. Because the Archangel is the common enemy of all who live on the continent."

"Right......"

As the Goblins descended into the basement, the Virgin took her gaze off as she lost interest, but it is unclear whether this was really the case because she was blindfolded.

I haven't heard much about what kind of acquaintance the lord and the Virgin are, but they seem to be very church connected.

It seems that the Oral Episcopal Church, which is based in the capital of the Oral King, and the Wealth Episcopal Church, to which the Virgin belongs, have actively established a cooperative system here recently, due to the fact that they originally share the same foundation and have the same number of human beings.

Indeed, now that Hills is dead, only Oral and Wealth are the predominantly human states. It can be taken for granted that the ties between these two countries will be stronger.

It's just that the Episcopal Church is closer to civil society than it is to the state. I mean, not as a nation, but purely residents anxiously seeking mutual cooperation.

For this reason, it seems that we are not yet formally cooperating with Wells' government as a state, but it is a matter of time before Reiliene says that Wells' royal understanding (...) should (...).

"Well. By the end of their metastasis of the goblins earlier, let's say we go too.

I haven't actually gotten to the point where I can cross swords, but it would be awkward to bowl it in front of me when I rubbed it gently. "

In the words of Rilienne, those who were there, including the Virgin, began to prepare themselves for departure.

The members of this party are first of all, the Virgin Amarier.

And there were ten healers of the Episcopal Church brought by the Virgin.

Of the Knights of the Hugel Cup, there are ten elites, starting with Justine.

There are 34 more willing player parties.

Surprisingly, this party left the seventh disaster at the last event, the current top tier party.

The leader was a famous player named Wayne last time, but this time he is served by a player named Amathein. Wayne seems to be a subleader.

The Wayne seemed to be looking for someone somehow.

Apparently, I saw someone I knew, but I'm not at all comfortable saying I'm leaving already.

On the other hand, Amatein seems to be ready and calm.

I see. I also nod that the leader has been replaced.

This player party tried it the second time, and the first time it was done by 33 people, it seems that they did it almost without any skill.

This time, we have measures and maneuvers in place. Furthermore, the last time we did not participate, we said that the robustness was a retry with the addition of these players.

And my goodness, Lord Lilliene will also participate in this operation.

In the unlikely event that the Lord dies, the Knights will perish in chains, and I don't know what will happen to Youth.

I would have liked it if I could have stopped, but the lord was waterlogged down with a stiff of okay.

I decided to give up persuasion and at least try to defend myself in place of Justine when I had to.

A total of 56 of these are members of the Archangel Crusade.

"─ ─ This is the room with the artifact. I need an item to get it up and running, but it's most efficient to dedicate 10 clean hearts."

"I see. Then that's going to get out of me. I was going to recommend an angel crusade, but I didn't think it would help here."

Lylene took ten gems out of her backpack in Wayne's words and dedicated them to the artifact.

Liliene says as if she knew now, but if she did, she wouldn't be ready to bring the jewels.

This, of course, is Wayne's face, described in Doya's face.

That's the person in the position of lord. Human beings are made.

The transfer took place in a large, domed room.

At its center is an archangel, staring at this one and saying something, but not heard from this distance.

In that gap, players like Wayne and others are starting to move quickly to position themselves.

This is the second time, and I'm sure you've already seen this archangel's reaction.

"─ The domestication of mankind begins with the destruction of you!

One loud archangel's cry also reached Justine's ear.

At the same time, the Archangel stood up with a glowing bow and arrow and activated some skill.

It wasn't if I was depressed. The battle has already begun.

It seemed that the Virgin had rushed out as soon as possible and approached the Archangel from the side.

The archangel captures the figure and releases an arrow towards you.

At the same time there was a loud noise and I saw an arrow poking at the wall.

"... eh"

What a speed.

I could hardly see it.

The Virgin couldn't even pray, and she was shot through her left shoulder. It didn't seem that I could use my left arm - I mean, I didn't get a site destruction determination - but it would still be pretty damaging.

It's a terrible attack. Is this the rumored instant death attack and doing it?

Even under that immediate-death attack, the Virgin still seems to be more grammatical than the players there and so on, even if she doesn't die instantly.

'Recovery magic' flies from the healers of the Episcopal Church to such a Virgin, trying to recover the lost LP.

But it was not forgiven by the Archangel.

Continuously releasing skills like flying at the speed of light earlier, he ejects the priests of the Episcopal Church who tried to recover one after another.

They just don't seem to have as much physical ability or endurance as the Virgin, and those who were ejected fell and fell with that blow.

But the sacrifice is not in vain.

By that time the Virgin had already approached, even to the immediate side of the Archangel.

Moreover the ecclesiastical clerics, those who were not attacked also flew 'restorative magic' to the Virgin one after the other, restoring all its LPs.

Archangels do not attack all healers, and instant death attacks end in a few rounds.

Assuming all the clerics' "healing magic" had been activated without delay, it would obviously have been overheeled, but it had consequently settled into an exquisite amount of healing. No way the clerics would have been reading about the Archangel's imminent attack, and it's a great collaboration indeed.

"That wasn't if you were confused!

I didn't keep up with the rapidly changing circumstances of the war, but Justine's work is not explanatory.

Or I haven't even explained anything.

Justine's job is to crush the Archangels.

We have to join the attack.

Justine has the same stretch of magic and sword as Riliene, but she was originally a knight and is still slightly better at swords.

If you're going to inflict a little damage on your opponent, it's better to get close and slash him.

The attack of the Virgin, who approached the archangel, sharply cut the archangel.

The Archangel turns his body completely towards the Virgin and is not paying attention to anyone else.

The enemy sneaks into the gap where the Virgin's attack is distracted.

Even so, it is full body armor that wears it. You can't kill sound.

The archangel must have noticed Judith's proximity, too, but he doesn't try to take his gaze off the Virgin.

This is convenient.

"'Knight's Power (Knight Plaus)'! 'Abandoned'!" Big Cut "!

As soon as he felt he had captured the enemy within the attack zone, he activated his skills and launched an attack from behind.

"Knight Power" is a skill in the tree called "Knight's Road" that is unlocked when you become a knight and has the effect of temporarily raising STR and DEX.

Abandonment also has the effect of temporarily doubling Attack in exchange for the disadvantage of doubling the next damage taken. By activating "Knight Power" in advance, you can also increase the amount of ascension at this time.

And 'Big Cut' is a skill that instead of being damaged by recoil, puts weight on the enemy and slashes him with all his might. Skills you can acquire in the Axe Tree, but any weapon capable of slaughter-based attacks can be activated.

It is a basic combo in a slashing system attack that can arbitrarily take the disadvantage of "throwing away" by taking recoil damage from this "large cut".

"Guh! What, this... me! Because of that sword!

Justine's sword slashed and tore the archangel's back, dealing definite damage.

But the bloodshed is dancing, but it doesn't look like it's influencing the Archangel's behavior in any way. Whether you say you've done damage or not, it doesn't seem that big.

But the only damage I did seemed to distract the archangel, and I've been staring at Justine more.

I can't use a bow at this close range, though.

The archangel erased the glowing bow and gripped its fist.

It is just stegolo.

Nice Assist! Taunt!

On the other hand, the players were not watching with their fingers sucked.

Similar to Youth, it appears that a player from the tank that was approaching secretly activated the Taunt skill.

And now the attack on Justine...

"Huh! 'Parry'!

I made it in critical time.

Even though the Archangel was "provoked" by the tank, he didn't mind hitting Justine.

Slip your sword between your impending archangel fist and your own body.

However, with Justine's technology, it was not possible to match the attack of the Archangel from this timing, and Parry failed and was struck by a direct fist.

"Ahhh!

It's a huge shock.

But whether it was because of the armor or the sword, or whether the archangel's melee ability was not as good as a bow, there was no such thing as being knocked down by a single blow.

The LP was considerably shredded and blown away, opening up the distance, but it can be said that Youth, who is not a full-time tank, was attacked by Raid Boss and made as much profit as he could.

"Are you okay?" Medium recovery. "

With the help of "Healing Magic" from Liliene, I was able to recover the lost LP.

I can't help but apologize for letting my lord to protect me do the act of earning Hate the act of recovery, but fortunately the archangel is more obsessed with the Virgin than with Justine, who kept it away, or Lyrienne, who recovered it.

On the other hand, the player of the tank that triggered "Taunt" does not have a look.

"You buffed me and you can't 'provoke' me! You're so different!

"Taunt" should have been the STR and VIT on the activated side, whereas the recipient should have been skilled at making the determination in MND.

In addition to the advantageous condition of 2: 1 in the number of competencies referred to, hostility can originally be earned towards the target as well, mainly because the characters activated are those who should be preferentially wielding experience in tank positions, that is, VIT and STR.

Nonetheless, being resisted will mean that these abilities with the Archangels and the players are put on more than double scores.

"... I guess it's because of the sword and armor. Glad you're alive."

The gear on the first event clearance offer still seemed pretty high.

Increasingly, we can't go public about knight-related events.

Some people will realize that Youth is a member of the NPC, that is, a knight, but when a player appears to be a knight as well, they may realize the difference from the equipment that Youth has.

If this is yet another knight of nobility, it may simply be cleaned up by the fact that Lilliene is just wonderful, but it won't be the same if there are players out there who have become Lilliene's knights as well.

"Ah! Dammit! Whoa!"

Tank's players, whose 'provocation' has ended in underdevelopment, are attacking in a grumpy attempt to distract the archangel at all.

By then, another tank and knights had approached the archangel, and instead tried to 'provoke' him, or attack him in the same way, at least successfully disrupting the archangel's actions.

"You depressing bastards!

The archangel narrowed his target to the first tank to attempt 'provocation' and slammed a series of karate moves rolling out of its long hands and feet.

"You finally saw me! Rampart!" Paris "!

Justine is an archangel attack that has been blown away and taken a lot of damage, but the players in that tank skillfully used large shields and one-handed swords, stunningly containing them with minimal damage. Sometimes I'm just a professional.

Parry has a fixed damage reduction even if he fails, so most weapon-style players get it, but in order to succeed, you need to cut through enemy attacks and swing your weapon at the right time. This is largely due to pure player skills.

But because the tanks had swarmed by archangels, the Virgin's attack had ceased to arrive.

I only saw a little bit about the Virgin's attack, but at least it seemed more damaging than Justine's.

Sure, the tanks can take the damage, but isn't this the end of the line?

"'Sacred Smite'!

Then the Virgin ran up the back of the tank, which was nearby, and jumped high, shooting 'divine magic' from the archangel's head.

The Archangel seems to have attenuated considerably by being attributed to something sacred, but he was nevertheless able to deal considerable damage to the Archangel.

"I see, if proximity is not magic..." Blaze Lance "!

I remembered that I was a dual style of sword and magic, just like the Virgin, and Eustace threw the magic by sewing the gap between the tanks.

"All of you!"

The Archangel, however, cannot fight back against the distant magic attack due to the obstruction of the tanks in front of him.

If you try to hold a bow, it will be a big gap and you will be hit by a series of players.

The tank's offense of the first player to fail to 'provoke' seems quite painful, especially seeing his sword on alert.

Looking closely, I feel that the shine of the sword resembles that of Youth.

Is it made of the same material?

For example, if the material is available to players, you don't have to have such a stomach ache.

By this time, players in melee physics positions and knights who were good at attacking had also gathered around archangels. The Archangel's obstruction of action has been carried out not only by tanks but also by players of melee attackers.

"Abominable!" The Great Recovery "!

Here the archangel unleashed 'restorative magic' on himself.

"Alright! Strike a Ranged Attack! The tanks will refrain from attacking and focus only on suppressing the Archangels!

Until then, he recovered as often as he could, and Lylene, who was not actively involved in the fight, gave instructions to the whole thing out loud.

The field is fairly wide, and party members are now mostly scattered around the Archangel.

Fighting sounds are sometimes heard in the center, and it is difficult to reach the distant players with a little screaming.

However, Rilienne's voice was well heard, and she saw distant players nodding from the eyes of Justius.

Is it the effect of some skill?

Under that decree, the knights, clerics and players unite and beat the magic into the archangel early in the arrow.

A player with a bow is an active skill with a bow.

Of that certain archer, he's been waiting for a chance, or not very noticeable, but here he is, releasing arrows all the time.

Well, if you look closely, it was a rumored yoichi.

Even Justine, who knows few players, knows them.

Yoichi releases some active skills to sew the gap between the tanks or as he changes his posture.

And you found a gap in the low position, and you crouched...

Justine took her gaze off there.

Not if you're playing.

Magic can shoot you, too, Justine. Join the attack.

In response to those attacks, the archangel tries to fight back with a bow, but that's just what the tanks won't allow.

Unlike earlier, however, there seems to be nothing excessively offensive except obstruction.

Though the archangel stares depressingly at the tanks, its hostility is still geared towards the magicians who are at a distance, the female players of the elves who are alone and the most devastating source of damage, as well as the yoichi of examples.

No matter how hostile you get, you can safely continue to attack in Ranged positions if you are not attacked from there.

The archangel spends the opportunity of the attack setting up a bow, which is obstructed and eventually retained to punch his surroundings with his fist, but it is prevented.

"Me! How about this! Sacrificed Smite!

The archangel, who saw no great achievement in bow or fist, seems to have made a policy shift here.

It unleashed the same 'sacred magic' that the Virgin unleashed earlier, the stand-alone magic that became 'Sacrid Smite', against the players of the elves.

Until now the Archangel has not made any magic attacks, so we do not know how much of a threat this is.

However, I don't think a magician with few LPs will be able to survive a direct hit.

─ ─

"'Radiance Guard'!

When he was traveling, the Virgin interrupted him on the ray and unfolded a barrier of light to receive the magic of the Archangel.

The Barrier of Light seems to have collapsed in one blow, but it would be surprising if Raid Boss's Magic Attacks were completely prevented.

"─ The Virgin does put a lot of effort into 'sacred magic', but she's inherently good at defensive skills."

It was Liliene who came all the way to Justine's side at some point.

"You're familiar with it..." Stand back!

"It's okay. More than that, the Archangel still seems to be getting 'sacred magic' at a high level as well. If that's the case, I heard and thought you were supposed to shoot 'sacred magic' if you attacked him from a distance in a situation where you couldn't shoot a bow. And now, shooting magic means..."

"Receive the light of judgment, you bastards!" Judgment Ray "!

In addition, several rays of light are emitted from the Archangel, penetrating the surrounding tanks and stabbing into a distant magician.

However, most of the power seems to be decaying when it hits the tanks, and the magician characters have not yet died.

"'Big recovery'"

"'Medium Recovery'!

"'Medium Recovery'!

Thankfully, the tanks have not died because of the low power of each and every one of them, which can fire several attacks over a wide area.

The magicians, the tanks, the Virgin, the Liliene, the priests.

"Recovery, etc! Smart! 'Shine Lance'!

"Dear Lilliene! Come on!"

'Light magic' flew into Lyriene, where archangel hostility was heightened by recovery actions.

Justine slipped in front of Lyriene at once and took the attack with her own body. I've been pretty shredded of LP, but not enough to die. Lyrienne is safe.

Shine Lance is faster than the Archangel's first bow attack. Light Magic's attack magic is modest, but its speed is superior to all attacks.

Eustys was able to interrupt because he saw the Archangel staring at Liliene.

I didn't know what kind of attack would fly, but I stood up and covered myself with all my heart to protect Lyriene.

The Archangel wonders if the INT numbers aren't as good as the other abilities, fortunately they weren't as damaging as killing Justine, but it's amazing that they still did so much damage to Justine with the less powerful 'Light Magic'.

"Thank you, Justine." Medium recovery. "

"─ Excuse me, are you okay? Dear Lyriene,"

"Oh, thanks to you. Now, more than that, we must continue the magic attack."

"'Blaze Lance'!

"'Thunderbolt'!

Since then, attacking magic has suddenly flew from the magicians under the direction of Liliene.

The magician characters were trying to fit into one place as much as possible, releasing magic from it. The same goes for Justine and Lylene.

"Depressing!" Shine Lance "!

"'Radiance Guard'!

This is why.

No, the damage I was doing to the archangel was mostly caused by a bow or a magical attack. And the archangel is obsessed with fighting back against the magic job.

This is because the Virgin protects her magician by activating her defensive skills against the counterattack.

Characters that could be the object of a counterattack are easier to protect if they were put together.

Damage to archangels has accumulated steadily.

Sometimes Yoichi tells me that, so I'm sure of it.

I don't know what skills Youth has, but other players seem to trust the report. Besides, there is no point in making a fool of yourself in this situation.

"Me! 'Medium Healing'!

Plus the "Recovery Magic" used by the Archangel is downgraded.

The decrease is also due to the frequency of use.

Also, I don't try to shoot a wide area magic called "Judgment Tray" that was shot in the first place.

This is because they are switching the axis of attack from one by bow or bare hands to another by magic.

As a result, recasts are intertwining and there are fewer magical choices to use.

This is Liliene's operation.

Shortly after the Archangel used "Great Recovery," he made the party members aggressively launch ranged attacks and keep the archangel using his magic to prevent the "Great Recovery" recast from counting.

The Archangels are sealed off by the tanks, torn from a distance and shredded with LP, but unable to recover satisfactorily, the magic of counterattack is prevented by the Virgin.

Without this many tanks, we couldn't contain the archangel.

If there wasn't enough damage from the distance, we might not have been able to make the archangel do a magic attack.

This number of healers made it possible to withstand powerful attacks.

And most importantly, the Virgin's defensive skills and the exploitation of Lyriene.

Though mindless that I ended up relying on high NPC, this archangel is clearly too strong. Perhaps these two were operational help NPCs or something.

With reference to this tactic, there may be more sacrifices, but it shouldn't be impossible for the players alone to crusade the archangels.

"─ Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... my father..."

And finally, the Archangel fell.

The body of the Archangel faded as it glowed, and eventually left a gem on the spot and disappeared.

A loud cheer echoed through the hall that had become a battlefield.

This could be called a feat.

Probably the first players to succeed in the Archangel crusade.
