Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 125. Frenzy

The thick fog lifted and the damp, black ground was revealed.

And the figures of those who hindered us.

‘As expected… It would have been impossible to escape through that pillar of fire.’

A radius of 200 meters centered on the destroyed orc altar.

A whirlwind of flames rises endlessly without knowing how high the sky is, blocking the retreat in all directions.

Now, there is only one way to return alive.

To defeat the priest right in front of you.

Until then, those huge whirlwinds of fire won’t disappear.

[An enraged High Orc priest is absorbing flame power from Fire Tornado.]

If an intruder appears during the Priest Raid, there are two main countermeasures that the capture party can choose.

One is giving up the raid and running away.

And the other one was this method I chose.

Destroy the orc altar.

The moment an orc altar is destroyed by something like a priest’s wrath, its behavior changes significantly.

The most representative example is the dozens of pillars of fire whirlwinds that were summoned everywhere.

‘It’s not usually a choice, but…’

Because blocking the retreat causes big problems in many ways.

The same goes for the psychological part of the raid, and depending on the location of the boss, it becomes difficult to utilize the space and to maintain an appropriate position.

In addition, that flame vortex has an effect that automatically recharges the boss’s flame power amplification buff as the battle continues.

‘But there are also advantages.’

If there are no advantages, there is no reason to make this choice.

First of all, it is possible not to be interfered with from the outside during the raid.

And, like now, you can lock up the rats so they don’t escape.

“It worked well, you guys.”

Now, even if you want to disturb us, you won’t be able to.

The stronger the boss became, the more they tightened their leash.

If we are annihilated, they will never return alive.

I don’t know what kind of guys they are, but seeing as a group they even wore ghillie suits, they seemed to be very openly intending to interfere, but they look very nice.

“What are you going to do now?”

“It’s better to leave this to the players.”

“Seo, you mean the player?”

“Yes.”

I pointed in the direction of party 2 with a side glance, then shouted at Everett Lowell.

“Unexpectedly, there are only four of us, so we’ll leave the cleaning up to the Angelics. Please. We’ll be dealing with the boss.”

“Okay!”

Power is power, but a certain amount of authority is needed in this case.

Excluding Demon Slash, the most powerful force is the Angelic Slime Guild.

‘You can leave it to me to deal with the obstruction.’

How can you deal with the strongest party in and out of the Abyss with just four people?

Since the exit is also blocked, you can just leave it to the cleanup.

What I need to hurry up is to defeat him before the priest’s buffs pile up any more.

‘Due to the destruction of the altar, the overall raid difficulty increased…’

There’s nothing wrong with that.

Although it is increasing rapidly, his flame power buff is still only at level 32.

‘Rather, rather than being blinded by rain and fog, it might be more comfortable to be a bit more sick now.’

“Until the next barrier!”

“Ooh!”

“Yes!”

“Of course! I thought I was going to die because of the fog.”

I also ran forward.

Now that the boss’s buff is charging fast, it was necessary to increase the firepower of allies even a little more.

Since the 2nd party has gone hunting for the intruders now, he must fill the void as much as possible.

* * *

[Warning! Galutea, the High Orc Priestess, has entered a forced ‘Enraged’ state.]

[The damage and frequency of all fire magic used by the World Boss is greatly increased.]

[Galutea’s ‘Burning Barrier’ has been changed to a form that is always maintained.]

Phase 4 has finally begun.

Flames soared from the boss’s body, and the burning barrier was changed to a permanent state.

From now on, it’s a race against time.

The remaining boss’s HP is only 5%.

But it will be a tougher fight than ever.

“From now on, we must be extremely aggressive! Use the potions in advance and focus all your firepower!”

Quaang!

A powerful wave of heat spreads out in all directions around the boss every moment.

Rain of fire rained endlessly from the sky, and as soon as our attack touched the burning barrier, the ember debuff accumulated and began to eat away at everyone’s HP.

This is the priest’s 4th phase, rage!

Allies’ HP decreases faster than before.

On the other hand, since I can’t expect a synergistic effect with the Secretify chain, the dot heel I used isn’t much help.

‘It’s a shame he didn’t get enraged until the 4th game.’

Enduring in this state for a long time would be dangerous even for our current party, which has become stronger with various buffs.

‘This is why the party needs a main healer…’

Unnecessary thoughts run through my head.

‘Still, I’m glad. Because there are only four intruders.’

I see slimes attacking the boss next to me.

The 2nd party, which had already cleared the blockers and joined the front line, is concentrating its final firepower.

“How are they doing?”

“I left it alone for now. Right now, you must be struggling to withstand the boss’ wide-area magic.”

“Is it okay if I leave it alone?”

“Nothing to worry about. They already have Dracul slimes attached to them, so even if they try to escape, they won’t activate the return spell. That doesn’t mean they don’t have the energy left to interfere with us.”

It was the first time I heard the name of a giant pink slime with blood-sucking and stamina-restoring skills.

Being able to use it that way is a very useful slime.

Just when I thought it was an appropriate name, Everett Lowell spoke again.

“Rather, I’d like to ask you. What would Taemin want to do with them? Summary execution?

“That’s…Well.”

Back when this world was still a game.

There was a lot of debate in the community over the ownership of the World Boss.

Game operators did not intervene in this, and even after intense debate, a conclusion that everyone could agree with was never drawn.

In the end, everything started to be judged by the logic of power between each group, that is, a large guild, and there were many people who were dissatisfied with this.

Anyway, the world boss was like the flower of the final content of an online game that anyone could participate in.

No one would accept that someone had a monopoly.

‘I was one of them.’

Of course, if I had been a member of a large guild, I might have had a different idea.

However, this is just an assumption, and in my position at the time, I thought that all players had equal rights.

Anyway, the World Boss was in the position that it wouldn’t matter if someone intervened and put in a deal because the reward was given only to four parties based on the 24 people who inflicted high damage.

‘However, the case of the High Orc Priest is a bit different.’

This guy gets harder to attack as more people join him.

Fools who attack Burning Barrier and only strengthen the boss’s flame power buff thought it was cheap to hear the sound of disrespect.

Well, if you do it unknowingly, you’ll admit it, but if you rush at it without even knowing it, it’s normal to die instantly after getting hit in a wide area in the first place.

‘But those guys are different. Extenuating circumstances…’

They openly showed meticulousness by wearing a ghillie suit, and before that, they secretly watched and then sneaked in as soon as the 3rd page started.

‘No matter how you look at it, the purpose was to interfere.’

“It wasn’t a direct attack, but it was an act to sabotage us no matter what.”

“Of course. I think so too.”

But it doesn’t seem like a summary execution is warranted.

I don’t want to get blood on my hands for no reason.

“I will leave the disposal of them to the angelic slime side.”

“About us? Hmm… Before that, shouldn’t we find out who they are anyway?”

“Who are you?”

“You don’t know. Just like last time, they might be the ones targeting Taemin.”

“Ah…”

He knows that I was being hunted by assassins in Fallon.

Because he had personally asked to escort the children.

Because of that time, we are together here today.

“Then I’ll check it out later and then decide. There’s still… Work to do.”

“Of course.”

Whatever it is, hunting the priest is the priority.

Anyway, they might be targeting me…

It was the inhabitants of this world who were targeting me last time.

Well, though it was under the direction of the damned Kim Min-cheol.

But this time it is different.

Given that all four of them were wearing Gilly suits, there is a high probability that all of them were players.

‘A player targeting me?’

His body trembled when he thought there was another guy like him besides Kim Min-cheol.

The chill came suddenly.

‘I don’t remember where I made enemies…’

[Warning! Enraged High Orc Priestess Galutea is casting ‘Flame Nova’.]

‘Hmm… Let’s think about this later.’

Now we have to focus on the battle.

World bosses, especially the priest who entered the 4th level, are really terrible.
