280 Fire Vortex (6)

He raised his spear high into the sky.

As soon as I saw it, this thought came to mind.

‘No, already?’

No matter how far they came, they made holes here and there, cut their arms in half in less than 3 seconds and made holes in the belly with arrows.

Already 40% blood?

‘ah… … .’

As soon as I raised my head and looked at him, I was convinced.

I don’t know when he got there, but Amelia was hanging from the back of the bastard, with a dagger stuck in her neck.

‘If you’re going to do it, hit me in the back of the head, not the neck.’

There was such a regret for a moment, but it is unlikely that the woman who became Ameliana was deliberately aiming for the neck.

Novel from https://readwn.com

Maybe he got stuck in there because he was avoiding it.

I focused on other parts.

‘This is the first skill I’ve ever seen.’

A black aura protrudes from the hole in her neck.

Uh, maybe that’s it?

「Amelia Reignwales has cast [Power of the Abyss].」

It’s not enough to come to the doppelganger essence, so you have something like that. It’s a miracle that I haven’t flirted with him until now.

Anyway, I’ll think about this later.

“Do not stop!”

I gave directions and approached him again.

However, was it too harsh a request for colleagues who did not know the situation afterwards?

Everyone was unable to concentrate on the battle and their bodies stiffened.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand his feelings.

「Stormgarsh has cast [Stormcall].」

[Stormcall].

It’s all about recovering MP by sucking in the surrounding wind, but it’s a skill that allows you to recover HP in a large amount by linking with [Rain]

Yes, that would be the end of the original… … .

There is an additional effect when raiding on this fucking island.

“No, the water has grown like a wall!!”

“It’s a tsunami… … !!!”

Pulled by the pulling wind, the rising water rushes in like a tidal wave.

aah

As a rolling snowball gradually increases in size, waves crashing from afar, forming a wall.

“Oh, no!”

The violence of nature is so daunting that some people even closed their eyes secretly.

After all, there’s no need to be afraid of that.

aa-!

At last, violent waves crashing from all directions swallowed us up.

However… … .

“A sanctuary has been created somewhere on the island.”

There was no damage.

“Uh, huh?”

“Damn, how did this happen… … .”

I also don’t know the detailed principle.

When I was playing the game, it was the part where I thought I was just paying attention to the direction.

“Raven, light your surroundings!”

Soon, the seawater covered the stomach and it became dark, so I secured a light source. Then, the environment we were in became clearer.

It was a very strange feeling.

It feels like being trapped in a fishbowl.

However, the situation is urgent, so I’m only going to take a look here.

“Everyone, move! If not now, there is no chance!”

When I placed the order again, the colleagues who were riding on the ear hurriedly came to their senses and moved their bodies.

The battle, which had reached a new phase, flowed in an unparalleled urgency before.

「Stormgarsh has cast [Dragon Vein].」

First of all, Uncle Bear could not avoid the layer of air rising from the ground and was hit.

Still, he reacted to some extent, but fortunately, he got out of the way and escaped being thrown out of the sanctuary… … .

“Urikfried… … !”

“City, priest. Me, I can stand it… Keep helping Yandel, please… … .”

Uncle Bear became incapable of combat.

With [Hungry Claw], the wound will heal over time, but it will take a lot longer than a few minutes.

[Woo-Woo-?!]

Cheol-woong Ira-dun, who somehow managed to stand at the forefront based on his regenerative powers when Uncle Bear was injured, was also released soon after.

But the bad news didn’t stop there.

A [vortex] springing up from the hole where [Dragon Vein] was cast began to torment us as it spread across the limited space.

“Never be right!!”

From now on, it is right to view [Swirl] as an instant fraud.

In this situation, the moment you get caught up in that, you will be thrown into the sea over there.

Sigh-!

Soon, Amelia cut off the man’s arm with a dagger full of Aurors.

kuung.

A heavy arm fell to the floor while holding a trident made of bones.

Even without a single weapon, he was a threat.

[Koo!!]

With his left arm swung as if in a counterattack, Patsran ripped his stomach and fell out.

He couldn’t dodge as quickly as usual because of the [vortex] that restricts his movement.

‘It’s not a fatal wound.’

One electric power was blown away, but after a cold glance I shifted my gaze. Wouldn’t it be a rare advantage in this world to be able to be resurrected with heals or potions as long as you’re alive? … .

Tadat.

[Swirl] flew across the formation and flew to me, so I had no choice but to widen the distance.

At that time, the archer of Amelia’s team, Nevarce, was hit.

He used his skill to avoid the [Swirl] that flew behind him, but fell in front of the monster’s jaws.

‘Ah, that was a random blink… … .’

In the end, Nevarce couldn’t even spit out a flurry and was chewed up by him.

witty, witty.

The first sacrifice that occurred during the battle.

Apart from feeling mourning, there was no guilt.

So who uses a shit skill like [Emergency Escape] here?

Anyway, as long as we’re all right—

“… Ouch!”

Then Misha was hit.

Sigh-!

He sideways dodged a slash attack, but lost his arm in return.

“Misha!”

“Hey, don’t worry! You can fight with one arm!”

Can you fight with one arm?

He also followed me and became very tough.

I couldn’t tell you to step back.

Because there is no room for that.

It just pays off with a little more emotion.

「The character has cast [Swipe].」

He uses his saved MP to the fullest and swings his mace.

The target is that protruding snout.

Puff-!

He was sure of Eun-won, too, twisting his waist and flirting with me.

Quang-!

Even when blocked with a shield, the impact pierces the bones.

Is it because of the rapid increase in physical figures due to [Rain Rain]?

When I blocked it earlier, I just had to stop it… … .

‘Nimiral.’

Over the dislocation, the arm was broken while holding the shield.

When I put my arms close to carrying weight, my ribs were tingling.

Hill came in right away.

「Lairin Ershina has cast [Heal].」

A cozy yet mysterious power that connects broken tendons and puts fragmented bones together like a puzzle.

This mysterious power seemed to speak to me.

If you’re well, don’t rest and fight to protect your comrades.

“Behel—la ah ah ah ah!”

hard battle,

A battle that cannot be explained in such short words continues.

It was strong and tough like a level 3 monster.

pooh.

Auror’s flesh is growing.

Dozens of arrows are pierced into the shell, stealing life force.

In a situation where the curse magic was stacked countless times and, instead of being regenerated, the dark green body fluid was dripping down, and the sword that Misha had placed in her eyeball was shaking.

[…] … .]

He kept fighting and fighting again.

As if we are the embodiment of evil and we are justice.

He moved without getting tired, and every time he moved, someone got hurt.

Novel from https://readwn.com

Most were me.

Kakak.

Sharp claws tore through shields and armor.

Whoops!

sometimes dig into flesh

It seems that the divine power has gone down now, and the heal doesn’t come in on time.

But, so what?

Do you think I’ll fall before you?

hold out

He swings his mace non-stop, and sometimes takes [vortex] without avoiding it in order to save his comrades.

endure and endure

Did a minute pass like that?

[Koo!!]

Soon, he bursts out and looks at me.

It’s like asking why you don’t fall.

Yes, you were like me too.

A tribute to the monster theme.

‘Please go to the next pattern now, baby!’

Full of such feelings, I slapped his head with a mace.

Whoops!

He flinched for a moment, but didn’t get hit.

However… … .

pooh.

Amelia thrust the dagger into the man’s temple.

[Kiaah!!!]

He screamed in pain.

and at the same time.

Whoo woo woo woo… … !

A thick wind veil covered its body as if to protect it.

「Stormgarsh has cast [Priest of Storms].」

The last survival technique used when 10% of HP is left.

It was the moment I had been waiting for so long.

“Raven!!!”

Until now, he used only curse magic and called the name of the wizard who was waiting.

However, magic was already being used.

aa

A vivid magic circle that appeared beyond the ground by scattering light.

Tadat.

He didn’t just swerve to the side, but widened the distance in the distance. Not only me, but all the remaining vanguards, Misha and Amelia.

‘Cause now I know what’s going to fly

“Felz Ascarvier.”

Among the military magic that Raven learned hard, it is the only magic created to kill a powerful individual rather than a large number of enemies.

‘… … I mean, the scope is too wide for that.’

I swallowed my saliva and looked ahead.

「Arua Raven has cast 4th grade attack magic [Negative Punishment].」

The sound of thunder as if the sky was collapsing was heard from the ceiling covered with seawater.

And after 1 second.

flash-!

The whole area was dyed white.

It didn’t feel so dazzling.

The pure white light, which must have been refracted many times before reaching this point, shone dimly and embraced us.

and… … .

Whoops-!

The long-awaited ‘nemesis’ smashed down on the man’s head.

***

High physical resistance and magic resistance.

Strength and agility comparable to that of an ogre.

For these reasons, it is called ‘Ogre of the Sea’, but the health of the Stormgash itself is very low compared to that of the Ogre.

Also, it is reasonable to aim for a short-term battle from the skills you use. Because of the skill structure, if you go to a long-term battle with this guy, the attacking side becomes more and more at a disadvantage.

So, I was also looking for a short game.

Saves resources up to 70% HP and deals only with normal hits.

From [Rain Rain], the tempo is quickly raised and the deal is put in, and from 40% of using [Call of the Storm], it’s an extreme deal.

At 10%, you can skip the phase with one point.

It was quite a clever strategy.

The fact that there is no counter skill to neutralize some patterns, the combat risk is much higher.

And except for the fact that the wizard had to deal with the finishing blow alone because he consumed most of his resources to reach 10% of his HP.

Yes, it was a good enough plan.

If so, what would be the result?

Whoops-!

Soon, a ‘nemesis’ in the form of a thunderbolt pierced the seawater and slammed into his head, and I could see the result with my own two eyes.

‘It failed.’

It was such a disastrous failure that there was no mental victory.

chee profit.

It had a steaming shell like a ripe lobster, but it was still alive.

The whirlwind that was positioned as if protecting him was the same.

The cause was clear.

It wasn’t because the timing was too late to put magic into an invincible state.

‘There was not enough deal.’

It just lacked Raven’s finishing deal.

It’s been a while too.

‘I thought that magic would be worth trying for a while.’

Novel from https://readwn.com

Maybe it was my fault for not taking the terrain into account.

I don’t know if it was a normal environment.

Even that thunderbolt passed through the sea and its power must have diminished to some extent.

“Sah, I’m alive! What should I do?”

what to do what to do

Now let’s go to plan B.

“Pasran! Get the boat out!”

At my cry, Patsran asked with a torn stomach.

“… … Barney?”

Well, didn’t I tell you about Plan B?

No, did I say clearly?

Novel from https://readwn.com

Maybe I forgot because it was a come and go situation?

I don’t really like repeating what I said, but I’ve reiterated the gist of Plan B I talked about earlier.

“Let’s splash!”

If you stay here, you will all die.

***

「The energy of the storm begins to dwell in Stormgash’s body.」

“The Stormgash is temporarily immune to all damage.”

“10%.”

“20%.”

“3… … .”

“… … .”

***

In the end, we came up with a plan B, but there are many positives.

No one died.

Although one of the archers from Noark died today.

Also, Misha’s arm was amputated, Ainar was stunned, and Uncle Bear was also seriously injured.

All survived.

yes, this is it

“Ah, the boat… … !”

Soon after, Partsrando Plan B came to mind, so I hurriedly touched the subspace ring for ship storage.

But did you ever have a question like that?

“Ha, but in this situation, let’s take the boat out… Cuckoo!”

He bled while he spit out a question.

However, his doubts continued through Raven’s mouth.

“Patsran is right. The water is all over the place, so how on earth can you get the boat to float?”

how to float

“Don’t you remember? That guy’s ship was made of ‘Artenemok’.”

Artene wood is the highest quality ship material.

It was hard and dirty, but it had so much buoyancy that even a life jacket would cry. If you just put the boat in the water, it will float to the top.

“What are you doing, Patsran? Without taking the boat out!”

As soon as Raven urged, Patsran patted her torn skin and summoned the ship.

A boat large enough to accommodate ten people.

I put the fainted Ainar and the injured Uncle Bear on the boat and tied them to the posts with ropes.

“What are you doing, hurry up, you too. You may fall if you just go.”

“Ah yes!”

Those who could afford to take care of themselves fixed themselves with ropes.

Then Misha asked me while holding her severed arm tightly with one hand. Well, I don’t have to hold it tight because I tied it up with a rope… … .

“Bjorn, I have something to tell you.”

huh? story?

“We’ll do that later.”

“However… … .”

“why? Can’t you believe me?”

At my words, Misha stopped and smirked a little.

“I believe.”

Okay, then the preparations for departure are over.

“… … But how do we get there?”

When all the people on board got on the boat, Raven stared at me in great bewilderment.

‘Oh, so it is.’

How does a ship summoned to the ground depart?

It was a difficulty I hadn’t considered when making the plan.

However… … .

‘If you haven’t thought about it, maybe it’s because you didn’t have to think about it?’

Well, it seems like that too.

As soon as you hear those words, you can see that your body is moving naturally.

“What are you doing? I wish I could pick up this whole boat… … ?”

Well, you know, be still.

weaken people.

“Ahhh!!!”

He let out a scream that was close to screaming and lifted his stomach with both arms. And after striding towards the shore.

Because it seems difficult to hold the country for a long time.

“Everyone hold your breath.”

He spit out his last advice and threw the boat into the sea.

“good.”

Like a ship made of wood with strong buoyancy, it began to soar quickly as soon as it entered the water.

I have turned on the [Priest of Storms] mode, so after going up there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

It won’t be a whirlwind like before.

In fact, even in the game, escape using the ship was not blocked at this stage.

‘… … Gone.’

Only after the ship disappeared from view did I turn my back.

There was only one colleague who decided to stay here today… … No, should I say comrade? Anyway, Amelia was looking at me with curious eyes.

“You really care about one colleague.”

“Because they are small and precious guys.”

“… … Right.”

Looking back, he has a habit of answering most of the answers with ‘yes’. What’s annoying is that it’s hard to tell what the meaning of ‘that’s right’ is no matter how many times you hear it.

I just decided to do my own thing.

“You were a surprise. You said that you would be willing to do this kind of role together.”

Our task now is to bait.

When this guy finishes charging, he starts using a wide-area attack indiscriminately, which is not something that can be blocked with a shield.

It was clear that the weak wizards, priests, and wounded warriors would not be able to hold out for even a few seconds.

So, at this stage, we decided to move on to Plan B and retreat.

But, unfortunately, I couldn’t go to all of them.

If someone doesn’t take the time, this guy will come chasing us with that tail, too.

Even if he dies while in a boat at sea, he can’t win.

“It’s a role like this… … .”

Amelia grinned.

“Certainly not what I would do.”

He seemed to admit that he looked weird too.

Then why did he want to stay?

“But it’s because I’m the type of person who can’t live with debt.”

Wow, it was really because of this.

I was truly amazed.

You said you saved something that almost died once, so you’re showing your loyalty like this?

Isn’t it just a good character to use?

‘If there is an opportunity later, you should put the debt on it every time.’

“what? Just those eyes?”

“Oh, did you hear me? I was valuing you highly because you value your promises.”

“… … empty words.”

Amelia frowned as if displeased.

“It’s okay, don’t look at me with those eyes. The escape method you mentioned seemed clear, and if it hadn’t been for the calculation that it was worth trying, there would never have been left.”

“Um, that’s right.”

“Barbarian, what do you mean ‘yes’?”

“that… … . Ah, it seems to be coming to an end.”

As soon as I shifted my gaze, Amelia also stopped chatting and stared at the front.

“90%.”

The tornado surrounding him was slowly fading away.

This means that the final phase will begin soon.

wow.

I energized the hand holding the mace.

Did you feel something ominous about this?

“Wait a minute, would that have been the original plan to just hold on and escape?”

Amelia questioned my warlike appearance.

So I also tilted my head.

“… … Are you trying to hold on?”

“… … Then it would be more efficient to put in a mace and only use a shield?”

huh? What does he keep saying?

What does this have to do with that?

I said firmly.

“A mace is a great defense!”

As I always say, the best defense is an offense.

Especially if you’re dealing with a guy who’s almost everything.

“So, you too, pick up your weapon! Don’t think about wasting your time while avoiding it in a shameful way!”

“… … .”

“Isn’t it the life that Misha saved anyway!”

“… … … … Right.”

sabotage is not tolerated
