Golden Experience

Episode 354: The Coming

Assuming the attack prevented by the Virgin was a pre-emptive attack by the King, Wayne's attack would have been the first to return it.

Should we still say that the area where we can respond immediately and move on to the attack is still just fine?

"Thunderbolt!

Speed-focused magic is thrown into the control, and at the same time the sword is pulled out and slashed.

"'Slash'!

"Nh! Chi, you're smart!

The king shook off the arrow of thunder with one hand and prevented Wayne from slaughtering with a sword that had been pulled out with the opposite hand.

No matter how bad it is, it doesn't mean the magic disappears just by shaking it off with one hand. The hand is pierced by lightning and burns black. But only the clothes burned. No damage has been done to the main body of the arm.

I don't suppose a controlled attack can do any damage.

Rumor on the SNS says Wayne's sword is quite a business.

The King's Sword is unusual to prevent the active skills unleashed by the business.

In other words, the attack power is that high, and there is a risk of instant death if it is slashed accidentally.

"Ohh!" Shield Charge "!

Guinorega mesh went into Wayne's cover.

It's not when you're staring at it.

"Straight Brow!

Beam also aimed at the king's blind spot and fired his fist.

The King, distracted by Wayne and Ginoregamesh, did not notice the approach of the short beam, and his fist shot through the King's lever.

"Gu! It's depressing!

"Ah!

The king shook off his arm and the beam, whose elbow went into his side head, blew up.

It's an unprecedented shock. I found out that she took a lot of LP with her.

Had the sword's hand been waved, it would have been dead by now.

"─ ─ Medium Healing (Middle Heel)!"

The voice of the priest of the Church is heard from afar, and the dull feeling left in his head disappears. Because of that, it seems that the LP managed to take off the red zone. We have to thank them.

"Are you okay, Beam?! Taunt!

Hasselah tried to draw the king's attention.

But the King still waves his sword at Guinorega Mesh and Wayne without looking at Hasselah.

"'Inspiration'!

"'VIT Enhancement'!

Several buffs flew from the rear players to support the avant-garde.

Wayne, who received it, bears the king's sword in the critical and waves his sword in the counter-attack.

Wayne's sword mutilated the king's body, but that was just clothes, too.

Even with the feeling of Beam hitting him, the King's clothes aren't so high performing. Only the appearance is luxurious. It's like paper in front of Wayne's sword.

The tip of the sword that cut my clothes seemed to have reached my skin, but I only had a slight scratch. Far from fatal wounds.

"Hmm! I don't care about the clothes, but I'm blind!

"'Taunt'!

In addition, the king's sword, which tried to target Wayne, was forced out of consciousness in the immediate vicinity and cut through the sky.

Now it seems that Hasselah's "provocation" has been decided. This is also due to a number of enhancement buffs.

And while Beam is recovering, other members of the team are suddenly attacking the King.

Magic and arrows fly at the right time to avoid accidental explosions on front-line guinorega meshes, Wayne, Hasselah and the farm.

"Fufufu! Fuhahaha! It won't work. That much! This is the power of a true king! Wonderful!"

The King laughs like that, but it's not really no damage.

Hard to deal damage with just a Basic Attack, but not with a Skill Correction Attack. Small but damaging.

Not so much as to have an immediate effect, but the wounds certainly seem to have been wounded, and there is not less king's blood dripping on the earth.

Unfortunately, I don't have the technique to check the King's remaining life, but if we accumulate a small amount of damage, we should be able to defeat him one day.

"'Shine Lance'!

"Uhahaha ─ ─ Slug, my saint!

And among them, the Virgin's attacks are special.

Even this unusually optimistic king seems to feel normal pain only in the attack of the Virgin.

Because of this, the King's Hate had on occasion turned to the Virgin, with the result also of inhibiting the Hate control of the Guinolegamesh and Haceras.

But the Virgin has a high level of combat power.

She is the only one who can evade the King's usual target.

From what I can see, the king seems to be much more expensive if he's just talented, but the Virgin makes a reasonably appropriate move, somehow or reasonably.

Whether or not you are accustomed to rough things is showing up.

The King, who suddenly seems to have become stronger recently, probably never had a decent fight before.

The opposing Virgin has risked her life many times to protect the city and people.

No matter how miserable a warrior may be, there is no way a Virgin will be delayed.

Then gradually the king began to pay only attention to the Virgin's attack.

For the tanks Guinorega Mesh and Hasselah, there will be a lot to do, but that means they can focus on attacking. Though tanks are usually equipped with a high level of melee attack. Normally.

It is rare for someone like Hasselah to specialize in durability.

When this happens, Hasselah, who lacks Attack, can no longer contribute to Lok's fight.

But one of Hasselah's strengths is that she thinks flexibly. And he is bad at giving up.

And he threw away the sword in his hand, and Hacera found it upon the king's hips. I have been kicked many times by the King's foot clasp, but I do not try to let go.

And Hasselah's sabotage succeeded in slowing down the king's movements. Evasion of the Virgin seems easier than before.

A king who completely ignores players' attacks and waves his sword with only the Virgin in his sight.

A catastrophic attack with little variation.

I wonder if you haven't been able to grasp your abilities yet because of the change.

Attacks by players hit such kings one after the other.

You know it's no big deal damage, or for another reason, the king doesn't go through with it at all.

But steadily the damage should be overlapping.

It is also evident from the amount of blood dripping at the King's feet.

Beam also waved her fists as she stepped on Hacera's head at times, contributing as a source of damage.

"Eh, if it doesn't work ─ ─ What...?

Then the King, who had been attacked by players on the no-guard, suddenly fell on his knees.

The Virgin approaches her butt with the players alert and distancing themselves as if it were some kind of trap.

With the gesture of the Virgin, Hasselah, who had clinging to her, also left.

Even a saint can't do without being attacked properly by the King. We haven't taken much damage so far because we evaded all of the attacks, but we haven't been able to evade them entirely, so we've sustained some minor injuries.

I tried to stop her from being dangerous, but the Virgin did not fit in, nor did she have a bare mind to be vigilant again.

Neither does the king intend to attack the Virgin, who approaches defencelessness.

"King Jerome. It looks like you've finally noticed."

"When do you think you'll notice? For what? I mean, is this damage? Am I taking so much damage as I can't stand?

According to one legend, the Virgin possesses the 'True Eye' skill that some snipers are taught.

This skill can be acquired using the LP of surrounding characters as visual information.

Were you observing the King's LP?

However, can "true eye" be acquired even without normal vision? No one can prove it because the player can't try it.

"It may not be so life-threatening yet, but if you bleed so much, your vitality should be considerably lower. It's over now."

No, I didn't.

It appears that the Virgin counted the rest of the King's life from the bleeding.

Bleeding is usually synonymous with the loss of LP.

The King walked across a vast number of LPs and continued to be attacked by players.

It also peeks from the fact that the luxurious clothes covering the entire body are worn out without a shadow to see.

It was certainly not enough for the King to attack players.

However, sudden attacks from players took LP and blood from the King, and the natural healing that was supposed to heal it did not catch up, resulting in more depletion than the King himself thought.

Hasselah's presence at her feet meant that she didn't use much of the flame magic associated with range attacks and explosions. As a stand-alone attack, the main damage sources, such as Ice Magic, Wind Magic, and Bows, which fall into a narrow category, were all bleeding. The fact caused additional damage and eroded the king.

It seems that this condition was brought about in this way.

The king heard the word, but it was not a particularly desperate wind.

Are you saying that you are so worn out that you cannot stand up, that you are not finished yet?

"Fufu... fuhaha. This is me. I am the true king. For garbage like you.... You thought you could do something about it!

"Give up and surrender. There's nothing else you can do ─ ─"

But the Virgin flew off to the lid in the middle of her own line, and distance herself from the king.

Suddenly the king shouted, approximating the gaze of the surprising players.

"─ ─ Material Wall!

At the same time, a dull glowing wall appeared in iron, covering the king in a dome.

The semi-transparent wall spread further and further and stopped at the foot of the flying retreating Virgin.

"Shine Lance!

Soon the Virgin released her magic.

"Hmm! It's no use! Mystic Wall!

Now a thin, silver-lit wall appeared, which spread to overlap the earlier iron wall.

And the magic of the Virgin was hindered by the silver wall, and vanished without a sound.

"... you can already use those skills"

"Of course. I am the true king. But how do you know this? Are you saying you're close to me? I'm curious about your origins... I don't care anymore. Whatever it is, I already know that your power does not extend to me.

And unfortunately, I'm not like you. "

The king's bright backs shine brightly. It is so clear that it is a dull sight over the wall.

Is that the source of this skill?

"Huh... Peep!... Is this the taste of blood? I've never licked my own blood before. Totally, it taught me good things even if I didn't know it.

But this time I won't thank you. "

The king spat blood out of his throat and mouth and slowly rose to the ground.

Lost blood and LP are gradually recovering. It seems that the rate of natural recovery is much faster than normal when you get up. No, it looks like it's because the maximum value is large.

Anyway, the damage you've accumulated will disappear.

"Straight Brow!

I hurried to attack, but the iron walls stopped me.

"I'm cumming!

On top of that, Beam nodded with her fist in unexpected damage.

Instead of breaking the wall, my fist was destroyed.

No matter how hard it is, this damage is unusual. Apparently, this wall also has the effect of reflecting physical attacks.

"Stupid... What a waste."

"Be careful! As you can see, 'Material Wall' reflects a physical attack! And 'Mystic Wall' absorbs magic attacks! If it does, every attack is counterproductive!

Is there such a thing?

This is catastrophic. Enemies of mankind.

No, it's unclear if he's the enemy of humanity because the kings of the human state have changed, but anyway, this is the battle at this level.

You can't attack just by overlapping attacks. I was reminded of that.

"... you mean you had to knock them down before they could get you out of that wall?"

"No, not really. Maintaining that wall should cost you a lot of mana. I don't think we can deploy it for that long.

Given the wounds I have inflicted so far, I don't think it is possible to maintain the wall until the wound is healed by natural healing. "

The Virgin answered Ginoregamesh's sigh. Then there is still hope.

"Shit, you don't know the extra thing. Looks like we still need to get rid of you. However, even if I only aim at you as before, it will only have the same result...

Well, for now, it was depressing, but I'll kill you there. "

Hii

The king, guarded by the wall, looked at Hasselah, and Hasselah hid behind the guinorega mesh.

Seeing that nothing has been done, it appears that the King cannot attack us while the Wall is out.

But after that, as always, we ignore casualties from players, and if we focus only on the Virgin, we don't know when we can defeat the King.

Avoiding the Virgin is not always a complete success, and the damage taken must be healed. Any MP we use to heal or attack will be depleted, and our resources are dwindling.

On the other hand, the King himself only deals Basic Attacks, but even those Basic Attacks are more powerful if the player dies after several hits.

While there is no wall, perform a basic attack to restore MP, and while consuming that MP to create a wall, strive to restore LP. The king is probably going to do that.

If you aim for bleeding as before, you may be able to put a different pressure on it than direct damage, but the King is no fool. This time, we will take more defensive action and, as I declared, Hazela will be killed first.

Can we defeat the King before our resources run out?

When it comes to defeating such a durable raid boss, special measures and tactics are needed.

I wish I had a boss who could try again and again, like the Archangel I've heard rumors about, but the King will not be a revolution unless he is defeated here.

Perhaps it was the enemy that should be challenged after preparing the strategy, that is, it was too early to decide at present.

"Ah! Guys! Get away from me!"

Then suddenly the Virgin screamed and walked further away from the king in a backstep.

Beam leaves the scene reflectively. I don't know what it is, but I don't need to think about it. Because the word of the Virgin is absolute.

The other players also lag behind with a surprising look on their faces.

And the King himself looked at us with a suspicious look.

That doesn't mean the King tried to do something.

Then why did the Virgin retreat?

"Yeah? What are you guys doing? Why are you leaving? I just realized I was scared ─ ─"

At that moment, there was an explosion.

No, I don't know if it was an explosion.

However, it is certain that everyone who was there flew consciously for a moment, and when they noticed, a crater was in front of them.

The impact reached the imperial castle just nearby, and some of the fine gates and walls were damaged as if they had been destroyed by something.

Naturally, there was no longer anywhere else, such as the wall the king was generating.

On the contrary, there is no king himself. What if the king did suicide bombing?

I thought so, but it wasn't.

To take a closer look, there was a king. In the middle of the crater.

However, he did not stand. And I'm not satisfied with the five bodies.

In the center of the crater, only the king's upper body was quietly lying down.

I screamed unintentionally, but I couldn't hear anything. Looking at it, it looks like the other players are saying something, but they are silent.

─ ─ But ─ ─ what!

I thought, and while I was speaking out again and again, I could finally hear it.

Looks like the explosion that happened in that instant was making my ears look stupid. Too soon to recover for that, but I guess it's because it's a game. Beams, players are no longer in the normal human range.

It seems that the invincible wall is gone, so I thought unconsciously to get closer and better. Someone pulled the shoulder of Beam who started walking and stopped. The Virgin.

"─ ─ Don't come near me. Dangerous."

I wonder if it still explodes.

I thought so, but soon I realized it was different.

Because my body is trembling.

This is not the level of a rush, as we saw when the King changed the other day.

If that is the tremor of adding something in the middle of winter, it is the tremor that I felt when I first watched an old movie with a long haired woman coming out of an antique called VHS.

The Virgin's gaze ─ ─ didn't mean she could see it, but she followed it and looked up.

White shadows come down from above.

The sight could even be described as some sort of fantasy.

Beautiful above all else. That's for sure. There will be no one to speak of the opposite.

But at the same time, it's scarier than anything. There must be no one to say this differently either.

The white shadow slowly stepped down into the crater.

And he grabbed the arm of the king, which was about half gone, and lifted it gently.

"─ Shit. I had no idea they wouldn't resist at all. I wonder what I shouldn't have done."

I don't know what you're talking about, but there's only one thing I'm sure of.

It was this woman in the white robe who caused the explosion.

I heard someone step out there.

"Damn......! That's... that's what you look like now! Seventh calamity!

Wayne thought what kind of heart could talk about this existence in front of her.

After all, the top layer seems to have a different mental structure.

Or are you accustomed to this?

"... oh, there you are. Long time no see.

By the way, haven't you heard from your friend? I am now called Septum. Call me if you want. "

"Oh, my God, it's getting worse and worse when I see him.

Hey, you! Septum! I thought you were in a pair! Why do you want to go to Wealth? What are you doing here? What the hell did you just do?

Standing in front of him to cover Wayne, Guinorega Mesh screams.

I thought it was a tank sight and unconsciously searched for Hasselah and stood in front of the Virgin. I'll do it.

"Right now? It seemed like you were struggling, so I gave you a hand. Thank you."

"Just kidding...!

"─ ─ Why did you do that? Whatever you say, we should be enemies to you. You have no reason to help us."

Suppressing the intense Wayne, the Spicy Pollack Roe List asked Septum.

If you look at them, they're like heroes.

I don't care what you think. At this moment in time, the heart of the story is this place, and even more at the center of it are those three.

"Even if I lent you a hand, it didn't just happen as a result, and I didn't want to. I had my purpose, and I cleaned it up after it had been fulfilled. That's all.

Besides, I don't want you to get the wrong idea ─ ─ "

And Septum crushed something, and moved the hand of him that had no king.

Immediately thereafter, I don't know what happened, but something happened.

Gwaaa!

As a result, Wayne's left arm was cut off.

"─ ─ Except for me, you're not my enemy."

Even Beam and Farm and Wayne and Guinolegamesh couldn't react at all.

Neither did the Virgin.

I can't think of anything like being defenseless in front of the enemy, and it would mean that even the Virgin couldn't react.

It wasn't about no motion, but no one knew any details of that attack.

If we were hostile to this Septum, would we be able to sneak through this attack and get close to it? Beam-chan's attack has to be a melee battle. Without it, we won't even be able to fight properly first.

I wondered what to do, and Septum looked at us and saw the Virgin.

I felt like I had an eye for a moment, but it was probably my fault. It's up to you. There is no reason like Waynes, and it is impossible for such a powerful Raid Boss to be aware of a single player.

"... well. I've finished my errands and I think I should go home.

Yeah, let's apologize for smashing the castle a little. I didn't mean to go this far, but it's a little more fragile than this king's guard thought. I've done too much. "

What are you saying about the fragility of Beam's fist and that wall, which didn't even have the magic of a Virgin? No, that's what destroyed that wall in an instant. Even an absolute wall for players is not the case for this septum.

I'm sure the King was a disastrous man. It is obvious from the fact that even the archangels, who are equally catastrophic, defeated Virgin and Wayne, were unable to defeat them.

But even with a sip of disaster, there seems to be a great deal of power. Septum came to teach it to the players.

"Father! Hello! Father!"

The Second Prince Ferdinand, who was in command outside King's Landing. It is now available.

For some reason, the knights were not with them, only one.

I guess that's why the beams didn't notice until they spoke up. It's the same whether you're aware of it or not, because nobody tries to pay attention.

"No, what! Who are you? I don't know what I have in my hand!

For some reason the septum shall have the king's body. That's what Ferdinand knows.

The loosely lifted upper body is looking at us with a slender expression. It's hard to tell the king at first glance from the Beam you just met today, but it's easy for a prince who is a relative.

"Chi, let go of my father! Sorcerer!"

Even as she screamed, her hips were pulling.

He looks pitiful to be a prince called a hero, but he doesn't feel like laughing at it.

It's as big as being able to speak up in front of this being.

"Father, are you the prince of this country or something?

I'm sorry, but I'm leaving now. If they tell you to let go, you can't just leave the loot behind. "

The spirituality of referring to a person's body as a loot still seems to emphasize that he is different from a person.

I'm sure Beam and the others were fighting to defeat the King, but I didn't intend to do anything about the body.

For this reason, I don't feel strangely deprived of seeing Septum, who was only stabbed to death, try to take the body as a trophy.

"Well, don't be ridiculous!

"─ ─ But that's right. If you think about it, I've only had a bad blow to him. I'm sure you fought before that and did enough damage.

I want to split it up, but that's not how it works, and it's also true that it has become smaller due to my troubles.

That's right, but what's the alternative? "

The words of the fierce Ferdinand have not reached Septum.

We're talking to ignore it.

"Kisama, look at me ─ ─"

"'Lethalis'"

"M─ ─......"

His body and armor made a noise.

If you look at it in haste, Ferdinand is down.

"... Immediate death, magic"

"Oh, you know very well. That's the Virgin.

I don't know what else to say, but I'll leave the prince in a nice way.

You were as hostile to the King as you were, and this prince was an enemy, wasn't he? I'll take the king's body, but you can do whatever you want. "

Immediate death magic.

Indeed, in the SNS, some players reported that this septum used resuscitation magic.

─ ─ Not only resuscitation, but also instant death?

And I fought for a moment, but on second thought, it was now.

Given the previous battle between the players and the King, and the attack power that destroyed such a King in a single blow, the player will die instantly no matter what attack Septum is concerned about.

Especially because it's instant death magic.

Thinking so makes it a little easier.

Bye, and in a mild tone of farewell, Septem walked away in the air.

Keep the king hanging in his hand.

No one could move until Septum disappeared into the sky.

Later, from the mouth of the Archbishop of the Episcopal Church of Werth, I learned that the king at this time was still being reborn into something disastrous.

And it seems that similar beings were born in various parts of the continent, regardless of the time.
