Episode 124. Where are you running away

Knock… Knock…

Raindrops began to fall from the sky.

“Already?”

Centered around the oak altar, all the plants around it were burnt to black.

Did the resulting smoke go up into the sky and become rain clouds?

Maybe it’s a world that used to be a game, but it’s a really sudden environment change.

But we all welcomed the sudden rain.

Because this rain was a very accurate indicator that the boss’s HP was reduced to less than 30%.

High Orc Priest Galutea Phase 3, Rain Ceremony.

[Caution! Galutea, the High Orc Priestess, is offering a ‘rain ritual’ to the sky.]

Shoot aaa-

Thin raindrops that fell like dew quickly turned into heavy rain and poured down.

Wasn’t he a priest who could only talk?

The sky (god) that listens to the prayers of monsters is a truly ridiculous situation.

Normally, when it comes to monsters that deal with fire, water should be their weakness, but this guy openly ignores even this basic compatibility, saying that he is a world boss.

[Caution!! My vision is blurring. Fog begins to rise.]

The flames of the burning earth and the pouring rain meet to create a strange phenomenon.

It’s a very hellish time for boss raiders.

Since you can’t see it, you can’t attack properly, whereas the boss will use a series of wide-area attacks that have nothing to do with sight.

The same is true of healers’ heals, so each party must huddle within a certain range.

Unless you have the confidence to withstand the boss’ wide-area magic without healing.

“The 2nd party has been reserved!”

“Party 3 is ready!”

“Even in 1 party! The boss will send a signal when using a barrier or wide area, so please refrain from small talk!”

The fog that rose in an instant was thick enough to remind me of that of the catacombs.

If there is a difference, it is that Emmanuel’s crown cannot be used here.

‘That doesn’t mean there isn’t a way…’

I already knew how to deal with it and even made a plan.

However, the situation is not always the same.

‘If they’re looking for it, it must be now.’

From noble mtl dot com

Dense fog, the sound of rain pouring through them, and even the boss’s burning barrier, which is used far more frequently than before.

If the intruders move, there is only now.

If you get into the enraged state of phase 4, it will be too much for you to sleep in the way and protect yourself from the boss, so you will have to fight before that.

‘What do you plan to do?’

The number I figured out is four in total.

However, it is not known exactly how many people are hiding behind the rocks.

But at most two.

It must be a party of six members.

‘If it were me, I would never attack directly. No, I can’t.’

I don’t know about me or the hairy party, but that Everett Lowell exists here.

Without fear, who would try to touch the gilma of the 1st and 2nd guilds, who say that scale is scale, performance is performance, and overall skills are within.

Even with a single party.

Even criminals avoid large guilds on their own.

Because that is the way to protect one’s own life.

It is unknown whether the people who appeared there are really heinous criminals or simply those who have their eyes on the spoils of the World Boss.

‘But I’ll do something. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have to hide behind a rock.’

So I’m sure I’m going to do something, but if it’s not a PK, it’s obvious what I’m going to do.

[High Orc Priestess Galutea cast ‘Burning Barrier’]

“Stop the deal!”

If you want to move, right now.

The moment the boss used Burning Barrier.

“Huh!?”

“What! Who’s dealing?”

“Isn’t that what slimes do?”

“Mister! Someone is attacking the boss!”

‘As expected.’

As expected, they started moving.

* * *

Taking advantage of the fog, the archers Noh Yoo-seok and Park Myung-sik started pouring arrows furiously toward the front.

Ko Tae-seok, an assassin class, also imitated the two of them by wearing an auxiliary bow.

The appearance of the boss is not visible.

But it didn’t matter.

After all, there is not a single ally in that direction.

‘Even if it exists, the protection mode is on.’

High Orc Priest is not a boss who moves greatly in one place.

It is an almost semi-stationary monster that only fires magic near it when its massive body settles down.

So, as long as you have a rough idea of its location before Phase 3 begins, even if your field of view is blocked, just point it in the right direction and launch an attack.

Thanks to the PK protection mode, there is no self-defense due to someone getting hit by a wild arrow, and even if only a few arrows are directed at the boss, the goal is achieved.

“Prepare to drink the potion. He’ll be back soon. Hye-soo prepares to heal.”

“Yes.”

“I’m ready.”

[High Orc Priestess Galutea casts ‘Area Heat Explosion’.]

“Kuh…”

“Huh…”

“Ugh, that hurts so bad.”

The arrows shot by the three struck the barrier used by the boss.

As a result, the embers debuff accumulated on them had already reached a dozen levels, and because of this, the damage caused by the boss’s heat explosion came in heavily.

A tremendous amount of pain also followed.

“Hye-soo noona. I’m also a heel.”

“Eomsal. You’re not even sick.”

“Did I shoot an arrow too?”

“Is it time for these bastards to play around?”

“Ah… I’m sorry.”

“……”

But it wasn’t a big deal.

‘This dish is really crazy.’

No Yoo-seok, Myeong-sik, Tae-seok, and Hye-soo also have Tae-min’s cooking buff that they ate in the morning to collect meat.

With their HP more than twice as high as usual and even their fire resistance added, the four of them over level 80 were not at a level of tension yet.

However, that was until now.

The boss raid has already entered phase 3, and has just absorbed the heat of the previous three.

[Fire Power Amplification X 27]

The boss’ firepower amplification buff started to accumulate gradually.

Of course, the damage of the wide-area magic used was also rising steeply.

The raindrops that had been pouring down as if turning the whole world into a sea had completely disappeared, and now it started to rain again with flames.

And without a chance to rest, a huge wave of fire also surged.

“Move location. Don’t get caught by them.”

“Yes? But it’s too risky…”

“If you want to do it, do it! You just need to remember the direction the boss is standing.”

If the boss’s barrier is gone, the demon slash crew moved places.

This is because they can determine their location by seeing the direction of the flying arrow.

“Be alert. Even if you hear someone being hit by a trap, you run in the opposite direction. Then, when the combat state is completely lifted, write a return spell immediately.”

“Yes.”

The plan was extremely simple.

The purpose is only to interfere with them.

I wasn’t even interested in things like the boss’s booty in the first place.

‘By the way, I came up to phase 3, but the boss’s flame power buff was only 20 levels?’

No matter how you look at it, there were only three parties participating in the raid.

Because it’s a small number of attacks, there won’t be a situation in which the boss’s buffs accumulate due to goofballs attacking the burning barrier, but even considering that, it doesn’t make sense to go 20 steps up to phase 3.

Since the ember debuff accumulates even if it is hit by wide-area magic, it is normal for at least 40 to 50 stages to be accumulated at this time.

But that’s only 20 steps?

‘How good are those guys’ firepower?’

It is said that the boss made the wide-area magic used 20 times or less, but they are only 3 parties.

No matter how many times I skipped the wide-area pattern by pressing it with a deal.

A 24-player raid is a minimum requirement, not a recommendation.

Jumping over that into three parties, there was only one reason that immediately came to mind.

‘No matter how monstrous the buff dish is…’

What if the reason for this was really that one chef?

‘This is a real scam. Fraud…’

Roh Yoo-seok began to understand little by little why Cheol-joong, one of the top executives in the guild, had been suddenly upset since the other day.

“Brother! Barrier!”

“I know man. Hurry up and attack! We need to level 100 of the boss buff before they find us.”

The three started shooting arrows again.

“Huh? Brother?”

“…What is it? Why did the embers debuff suddenly…”

I shoot arrows, but the ember debuff is not accumulating at all.

Whether it’s a melee attack, magic, or an arrow, the moment the boss’s burning barrier is touched, the ember debuff will accumulate on the attacker.

“Maybe the boss moved?”

“You stupid bastard. That boss is a boss who doesn’t move very well!”

“But it doesn’t fit at all.”

“……”

Noh Yoo-seok stared straight ahead with a frown on his face.

He tried different directions of the arrows, but still got no news.

“Damn it! What happened?”

“Tongue, bro. Then I’ll stop over there.”

“Ha, really… It’s going to turn.”

“To just give up and die…”

It was too sad to do that.

Only 27 levels of fire power.

At this level, even if the boss enters the 4th phase and goes into forced rage, it won’t be too threatening.

‘Originally not this weak a boss, but they ate food…’

It was clear that everyone in the raid ate the dishes they ate, no, dishes that were twice as good as this one.

‘If there were at least two more parties, I’d be more aggressive in interfering…’

Roh Yoo-seok slowly scanned the faces of the three newcomers next to him.

“Brother… Make a decision…”

“Brother…?”

“……”

‘Damn it!’

The most annoying part was that I had to go back and report without any results.

Roh Yoo-seok was talked about within the guild because there was no success in securing the cook and cooking that Gilma ordered last time.

I also heard the story behind him that he was maintaining his executive position just because he was an early member despite not having the ability.

So he thought he had caught the number of cases today, but in the end, this was the limit.

“Let’s go back.”

“Phew, that’s a good idea. There’s no such thing as a head count.”

Myungsik Park, who had been quiet all along, calmly opened his mouth.

“Those people might try to attack other world bosses next time. I think it’s better for us to beat them or block them properly next time.”

“Hmm… That makes sense. With a small group of people, if you take a day or so off, you can easily catch two or three world bosses. What you didn’t try before because it was dangerous, is now possible with ease. Because of the chef you said you kicked out of the party. .”

“……”

“……”

“It’s okay, I’m going back. I have to endure my stomachache today, what can I do?”

That was when the four of them quietly tried to escape through the fog.

[High Orc Priest Galutea has summoned ‘Fire Tornado’]

In front of the road they were heading to, a huge whirlwind of flames suddenly began to rage.

That wasn’t one either.

One, two, three… Ten, ten one…

There was no way out in either direction.

And the hot heat rising up into the sky riding the tornado was quickly clearing the fog that had filled all sides.
