chapter 38
038─The Last Stage
“It was cold…… “
Before entering the event dungeon, when I checked Farnese after waking up, her lower abdomen was bleeding, so her heart almost dropped.
I wondered if raising the skill level of the pattern would put a strain on the body, but fortunately it wasn’t so, my period broke.
‘Apart from the bloody expression, is it okay to show this in the game?’
Plaudite is 15+.
Even if you walk a tightrope up to lewd costumes, the game management committee will widen their eyes at this expression.
‘But actually, isn’t it better to be 18+?’
At least, all the users like me who are playing this game seemed to think so.
Gwanwi, please bite me off.
Of course, since the account is created through cell phone authentication, teenagers won’t be able to access the game at that moment, but isn’t that something I care about?
If Bernice had any ideas, he would even put out a teen version that was censored.
Anyway, after giving up my thoughts, I entered the event dungeon, called up the designated character, and immediately pressed the [Start Attack] Button.
It is already 3:56 in the morning, so there is no time to hesitate.
‘After. Please…… Let’s clear it without using the punishment.’
I was confident because the buffs I got from clearing the stages and the concepts given to Plaudite were pretty good.
‘It was good to read the strategy post.’
I thought the strategy text would be meaningless since the characters are at different levels for each user, but it’s not like that.
It is quite common to choose buffs and progress through stages like this event, but usually in this case, the number of buffs was fixed.
In other words, if the users exercise their collective intelligence, they can organize the buffs and think of an appropriate combination in advance.
I actually played the game very comfortably because such a concept post was uploaded.
High risk high return as an example.
This buff increases the amount of magic power and magic recovery speed by 200% for 80 seconds at the start of battle, but after 80 seconds all wounds of the target are transferred.
Looks like it’s a buff that assumes quick action, but if you don’t get hit for 50 seconds, you’ll be invincible for 10 seconds! Since I got the buff, I picked it right away when it reappeared in the selection.
If you don’t get hit for 50 seconds from 29 seconds after the battle starts, you can completely offset the demerit of high risk high return.
‘I was told to teach this, but in stages 4 and 5, I was punished and cursed…… ‘
If I directly told her that it was like this through revelation, the image I had created up until now would be damaged, so I had to somehow make Farnese realize it myself with Plaudite.
‘I hope the fruit will see the light of day.’
As soon as the battle started, I held my breath and looked at the screen.
* * * * *
Pajik–!
The intangible barrier that confined the monsters is scattered as fragments.
Thump!
The monster, which had the shape of a clear dragon, hit the ground with its wide tail, flapped its huge wings, and soared into the air at once.
It is a gap that cannot be filled by human beings who have to keep their feet on the ground due to their inherent limitations.
However, it was not as difficult as I thought to narrow the gap for Farnese, who was heavily armed with the buffs she gathered while clearing stage [6].
Hwaruk——!
The beautifully scattered mana becomes a ember, and clings to the gigantic Colosseum surrounding it.
The embers that subsequently germinated weaved complicated knots as if they were rooting, then wove a long thread and sent it flying into the air.
The sight of thousands of prominence threads stretching out in a spiral form was beautiful at first glance, but it was also mixed with quite a bit of bizarreness.
It was like a scene where the gigantic Colosseum itself on this stage became a living creature and tried to eat flying monsters.
‘…… Got it.’
The monster’s flight speed was not fast enough, and the thread of the crimson flame that was confined by occupying even the blind spot was close to the perfect heavenly net, so it was relatively easy to snatch the body of the monster.
Hoo-wook——!
Of course, the monster’s madness was quite harsh.
Following the fluttering wings, a gale blew incessantly.
However, despite the desperate efforts, the threads of the blazing crimson flames did not break and entangled more intricately.
Aww——!
And at that critical point, Farnese clenched his fists in one breath and pulled the thread of the red flame tight as if unraveling a tangled skein.
Kooung!
As a result, the huge Colosseum that was being used as a support caused intense vibration and spewed dust in all directions.
If you pass a thread through the center of a round piece of paper and then pull it from both sides, a tremendous centrifugal force is generated, so the scenery is nothing strange.
Soon, the monster dragged down to the center of the Colosseum casts a huge shadow, and its limbs begin to be torn apart as if it were being beaten by heat……
“!”
In that state, the monster with its head lowered opened its wide mouth, and Farnese immediately cast flames around it and opened a barrier.
Flame!
However, the moment they get entangled with the white flames scattered on the ground, the Farnese barrier collapses at a rapid pace.
‘This is…… ‘
In total, it is receiving enormous support from 7 statues, but the fact that it is clearly being pushed out must mean that a special concept is embedded.
“Bo, I will assist!”
At this rate, the white flame would be completely covered, so Floudite, standing behind Farnese, radiated his magic power and opened a water barrier.
Auxiliary type——There are a total of three concepts given to Plaudite, who were put into recovery specialization.
Healing, purification, regeneration.
If you spread the water barrier with the concept of regeneration, it will create a counteracting effect that can withstand it.
Choo!
In fact, it caused a counteracting effect, but the enormous amount of steam generated in the process covered the surroundings.
It wouldn’t be strange if the lungs ripened and died the moment they breathed in, but since the barrier itself was spread out round, there was no problem with Farnese and Plaudite.
However, after a while, Farnese and Plaudite dared to reach out their hands outside the barrier and harmed themselves instead of harming themselves.
Chiik!
The sensation of flesh ripening alive is never a pleasant pain.
“Keep off——!”
Screams naturally come out of your mouth, but this is the learned “Ice Ding!” It was designed for the trigger of the buff.
Yes.
I’ve been counting the time since the battle started, and now it’s about 27 seconds.
The most appropriate time if you are mindful of errors.
From now on, the moment you get hurt, “Ice!” The demerit of high risk and high return could not be avoided because the buff trigger was initialized.
However, Farnese did not act cautiously, but rather boldly.
The thread of red flame holding the limbs of the monster lost control for a while due to the counterattack, and the artificially generated centrifugal force was all scattered……
Hwareuk!
I was still holding on to it with the concept of restraint, so I forcibly punched the overflowing magic power and transformed the form of a thread into a guillotine at once.
‘It’s been about 30 seconds since I haven’t moved from the spot, so my magic power rises once more.’
Bizarre statues erected so far.
Farnese, who correctly learned the advantages they give, understood how to extract the efficiency beyond Baek Woo-jin’s imagination.
Because of this, Farnese was full of thoughts to make a quick decision before the demerit of high risk, high return attacked from the beginning.
Nevertheless, trying to satisfy the trigger of the Ice Chop buff was an insurance policy in preparation for an unexpected situation.
Moreover, it was to provide clear fun to the transcendent beings who were contemplating the whole situation.
Of course, I wasn’t sure that it would become an entertainment street.
Still, it won’t be meaningless.
Unlike the early statues, which gave intuitive and simple power, the statues in the second half have complex conditions.
If there is meaning in that difference, it must be that you should realize it and use it.
Can’t that be likened to the feelings of an owner who buys various toys thinking he wants his dog to have fun playing with them?
It is highly likely to be wrong because it was interpreted from the human point of view, but at least Farnese, who set the direction in that way, tried to present the most perfect pet doll within that framework.
Kooung!
Soon, the guillotine formed of flame drops its blade to cut off the head of the entangled monster.
‘Not enough…… ‘
However, the cut surface of the flame only burned the flesh, and did not produce a clean decapitation.
Since the only concept that could be granted was restraint, even if it exerts smooth power in terms of restraint, it has no meaning at all in the process of simple killing like this.
‘Was it a mistake?’
I tried to be greedy for the most spectacular production.
Recognizing that it was clumsy, Farnese once more used massive magical energy to twist the shape of the burning guillotine.
If you go with the regular method, there are plenty of things that can harm the target just by restraining them.
“Collock…… !”
However, as he operated a huge amount of mana in succession, a phenomenon of exhaustion that the recovery speed could not keep up came and Farnese staggered his body.
If you make a mistake, you will not be able to receive the effect of the statue that amplifies your magic power every 30 seconds if you do not move……
Sureuk.
Plaudite, who stands beside her, kindly supports such Farnese.
Dig——!
At the same time, it spreads a pair of wings made of clear water and embraces Farnese, granting the concept of healing.
Thanks to this, Farnese, whose aftereffects of exhaustion quickly subsided, straightened his own flame, which had stopped transforming in an halfway state.
The result was a coffin in the form of a woman who swallowed a monster in the form of a dragon——Iron Maiden.
Aww!
Eventually, Farnese clenched his fists, and along the slowly closing door, sharp crimson spines mercilessly pierced the desperate monster’s vitals.
Kung.
In the end, a quiet noise resonated and when the door was completely closed, the sound coming from this space……
Chiik.
Only the blood of the monsters flowing down and the sound of fire burning their bodies.
“Ha…… “
Recognizing that the battle had ended, Farnese took a step back from Plaudite’s arms with a tired look.
I was greedy along the way, but even considering that, wouldn’t it be a great puppet show?
The power of the statue arranged by the transcendental existence that dwells in it——among them, the difficult conditions were appropriately utilized, and I think the production of catching and killing the hateful monsters was not bad.
Except for intentionally reaching out into the high-temperature steam, there were no wounds, and not a single drop of blood was shed.
For that reason, Farnese was hoping for a hand of praise, but……
Jureuk.
As if to ruin her mood at once, the blood that ran down her crotch soaked her thighs.
“…… “
Surely there were no wounds and not a single drop of blood was shed.
Her body as a woman made a light mockery of her splendid stage unfolding.
