The Status Window Disappeared

Chasing and being chased (7)

Although he cut off the hidden sniper first, Chris’ enemies calmly regrouped.

If they were staggering like this, they wouldn’t even be able to use the name of the black dragon.

Chris foresaw an uphill battle with a level of response that was clearly different from that of the members of the Black Flag.

You can’t guarantee victory by fighting roughly as you have done so far.

Because of this, Chris used the skill of the status window from the beginning.

“Fair wind, rush of ghosts!”

“hmm? Did that guy originally use his skills?”

“Don’t panic and do what you normally do. Warriors forward!”

The black dragon did his best no matter how insignificant he encountered.

Thanks to that, I was able to survive in the toughest battlegrounds so far.

Trained through rigorous training and numerous experiences, they weren’t too embarrassed to see Chris’ skills.

I may have guessed it roughly, as I had been monitoring Chris for the past few days.

But people’s experiences are sometimes toxic.

Veterans like the black dragon are rarely betrayed by experience, but if they do, they suffer fatal wounds.

That was exactly what Chris was aiming for.

As expected of him, the black dragons who had combat experience with players soon recognized his class.

“If it’s a fair speed and a ghost’s rush… Black Demon! It’s a skill of the Sword Demon class!”

Very unusual for the natives of this world, the black dragon mercenaries knew all about the skill composition of each class in the status window, as well as their strengths and weaknesses.

If it’s natural enough to deal with players professionally, it can be said… … .

Gathering such information as a mercenary was never an easy task.

The traditional weakness of the Sword Demon class is that there are few useful active skills.

Because of this, the black dragon’s avant-garde responded to Chris’ attack with an attack.

Equipped with long and large ax spears, they play the role of tying players’ feet.

Offense is much more effective than defense against fearful players with little experience in sword fighting.

But Chris has none of that.

Having crossed the line of death in his own way, he avoids the greatly swung ax spear and activates the skill of the Sword Demon.

“Half-moon!”

The blue and thick black air swept the surrounding space at once, cutting off the ax and spears that charged from all sides.

However, the vanguards of the black dragon had already run away from the range of the skill.

With fishy smiles, they come into Chris’s gap again and attack.

It is an established theory that the offensive skills of the Sword Demon class are of little use except for the crescent moon.

If the cooldown of such a half moon charm is running, you can freely join the attack.

Of course, Chris didn’t know that either.

“Huh!”

The skill of the shield knight, who secretly trained hard, is completely reproduced in his hand.

As the flashing sword light radiated in all directions, the vanguards who had vigorously attacked were cut helplessly.

The series of attacks from the half-moon attack was so natural that they didn’t even have time to defend themselves.

When the body, which was overheated due to excessive operation, complained of pain, the vitality of the status window came to the rescue.

The mercenaries, who had lost two of their vanguards in Chris’ one move, flinched and retreated.

The sight of a moment ago completely overturned their common sense.

“Ugh! This bastard, he didn’t even have a chant, but his skills… … .”

“Isn’t that just a shield knight skill?”

“be careful. After all, what is it!”

Chris took a quiet breath, gladly accepting their alert.

In fact, even the shield knight he learned was not a class with good attack skills.

If you use the class change, you can use the skills of other classes, but that’s a trump card, so it’s a waste to use it already.

As the Black Dragon’s avant-gardes hesitated, the personnel in the back launched their activities to fill their gaps.

The chant that had been going on ever since was completed and occupied all sides of Chris.

Completion of the order one beat faster than expected.

As expected, the first-class mercenaries’ battle mages were skilled.

“The prison of lightning, the roar of the thunder god!”

A chain of spells focused on limiting Chris’ actions, pressuring him.

If the sniper you dealt with earlier is the first dagger of the black dragon, then these mages are the second dagger.

Even players could not ignore the firepower of wizards who were allowed enough time.

However, it wasn’t just that Chris learned the skills of the Shield Knight as a top priority.

He raised the mana of his whole body to the limit and used the technique of conversion.

‘Armor of anti-demon!’

As soon as the skill that greatly increased the user’s magic resistance was reproduced, the magicians’ spells bounced off powerlessly as soon as they touched Chris.

The shield knight is a class that competes with the best among warriors when it comes to defense.

And its robustness does not yield even to wizards.

However, if I gave up to this extent, the name of the black dragon would have cried.

Experienced wizards immediately came up with countermeasures while grinding their teeth.

“Isn’t that the anti-demon armor?”

“Attack spells don’t work. Let’s go for another one!”

“Breath of the Fire Dragon!”

The spell used by the wizard waiting in the back was not an attack, but a summoning spell.

A scorching heat is summoned from above Chris and attacks him fiercely.

Since this is pure heat drawn from the spirit realm, magic resistance cannot solve it.

However, Chris did not stop his steps towards the wizards.

As a tremendous amount of heat poured in, the grass growing in the yard of the temple instantly burned and scattered ashes.

An attack that cannot guarantee survival even with the health bonus on the status window.

Indeed, it was a spell of conversion concocted by the master of the black dragon, the mage.

The moment when all members of the Black Dragon were confident of their victory.

Chris calmly used his technique in the thick heat.

‘A knight’s charge.’

Chris’s longsword protruded through the red flames and touched the heart of the wizard behind him.

The members of the Black Dragon, who had gone through all the battles, came to their senses in an instant, but that amount of time was enough for Chris to cut down the wizards.

The gray-haired mercenary captain sees Chris’ ring, which is noticeably hotter, and vomits.

“Magic tools… Is it a heat-blocking ring?”

The heirloom Chris received as a gift from Elom, the ring of the magical dragon that protects it, is a magic tool that protects its owner from heat and cold.

A very useful feature considering that powerful attack spells are focused on fire and ice attributes.

However, it was a treasure that Elrom could not use properly.

The ring, which had absorbed an enormous amount of heat, burned Chris’s finger.

However, Chris felt like he wanted to kiss the ring again.

Thanks to this guy, he was able to blow off the heads of all the unwary wizards.

Dealing with annoying wizards at once was a great achievement.

Of course, Chris has the Anti-Magic Armor, but it consumes a lot of mana, so it’s hard to keep using it.

The mercenary commander tried to encircle Chris, who had entered deep into enemy lines, but an unexpected artillery bombardment blew one of the vanguards away.

Chris smiled as he noticed the familiar bombardment.

‘Tyron sorted out one of the remaining snipers.’

Even though he won’t have much energy left to fight unfamiliar sniper battles, it’s still a big help to Chris, who was fighting alone.

The two daggers that the black dragon boasted of were brutally broken.

The firepower is too weak to deal with players now.

The black dragon’s vanguards and captains are excellent warriors, but Chris has enormous magic and vitality.

At this rate, Chris’ victory was obvious.

He’s not as formidable in close combat as the other players.

If you can’t nullify the player’s unique life force, the black dragon will never win.

As an expert in combat against players, the mercenary commander, who couldn’t have known that, let out a deep sigh and smiled bitterly.

But his gesture was not a sign of giving up everything.

Regret and regret, but the unknown confidence beneath them.

Chris noticed that he also had a trick hidden.

The mercenary captain lamented as he clenched his fist with his right hand.

“This wasn’t a request that would turn out like this… But I can’t just resign quietly after losing the placenta of members. Okay, let’s see the end.”

“You want to do more here?”

In fact, Chris had no intention of letting the black dragon live.

Didn’t he show more than half of his fund for the first time in a while?

The only thing Chris didn’t show them was the class change function.

The mercenary commander, pretending to hear Chris’ words, spat out in a boiling voice.

“Epic item, Blade of Grief.”

“!”

A long sword with a winding blade appears from the air and is held in the hand of the mercenary commander.

Chris slightly bit his lip in an unexpected situation.

The Blade of Grief is an epic item that Tyrone also has.

It’s a deformed sword that’s hard to use, so the overall performance is only B-class at best.

However, the Blade of Grief had a very unusual and annoying function.

In Arios Online, due to the nature of the genre of MMORPG, it was not possible to escape the cold meal, but after being summoned to this world, the selling point has completely changed.

A person cut by the blade of grief is unable to receive any kind of healing effect for a certain period of time.

And that’s the player’s unique life force is no exception.

In other words, this epic item makes the fight between the player and the natives more equal.

Even Chris, who can fly and crawl, would be very troublesome if he was cut by that blade.

When Tyrone heard it, he wasn’t afraid because his knife skills were poor, but the mercenary captain in front of him was different.

He is a warrior who boasts the best sword fighting skills even among the black dragons, which are said to be the strongest mercenaries.

If such a person holds the blade of sorrow, it is no different from a tiger snapping its wings.

As they are known as player hunters, I thought they would have at least one or two epic items.

But it must be the blade of bitterness.

Chris swallowed his saliva and grabbed the black hammer right away.

The survivors surrounded the two who met in the yard of the temple.

“If I knew it would end up like this just to kill you, I would have written it a long time ago. I saved it for nothing, but it looks like I can’t even get my money’s worth.”

The mercenary captain swung his sword lightly and said with a sigh.

It was just a simple complaint, but there was sincerity in it.

“I guess you didn’t get a lot of money for the quest to raid the temple?”

“Well, yes.”

As if estimating the weapon’s center of gravity, he straightened his longsword and attacked Chris with a piercing thrust.

The Blade of Grief is a strangely shaped sword, so it is difficult to use it properly, but a mercenary-level skilled person will be able to handle it.

Indeed, the mercenary captain’s stabbing had no superfluous.

Chris decided to use the shield knight’s skills to parry his attacks and counterattack.

‘Split the shield, hit the shield…’ no!’

As usual, he tried to activate the linkage, but when he couldn’t feel the touch in his left hand equipped with a shield, he quickly stepped back.

Then, the mercenary commander’s consecutive attacks continue like flowing water and overwhelm him.

After canceling the first thrust, Chris loses his balance for a moment at the onslaught.

The mercenary leader’s swordsmanship was so ferocious that the other members didn’t even dare to aim for Chris’ back.

It is a situation where I wonder if I will be cut by the sword of my ally if I join in hastily.

Of course, the fact that the mercenary commander was pushing Chris so easily also played a part.

Chris silently received his attack with his shield at the fore.

His swordsmanship was quite good compared to that of a mercenary, but it was inferior to that of the mercenary commander, the best among mercenaries.

A sword is not something you just have to wield at will.

In the swordsmanship that senior swordsmen have accumulated over hundreds or thousands of years, there are ways to deal with all kinds of attacks and situations.

Sword fighting is to compete for the depth of study for such a standard.

Unfortunately, Chris couldn’t afford to put in the time and effort into such studies.

Therefore, if he honestly mixes swords with the mercenary commander, he is sure to lose.

In the end, he counterattacked the mercenary commander by making use of his ignorant magic power and status window, which were his specialties.

Even if you think about it yourself, it’s a shameful and unsightly tactic.

But if he gave up his head like this, it would be even more unsightly.

Fortunately, Chris had a reliable shield and the skills of a shield knight.

The combination of a shield and a sword is advantageous enough to be considered a foul against an enemy holding only a sword.

As the mercenary commander pounded on Chris’ strong defense, the nearby mercenaries moved stealthily and aimed at his back.

It might not be possible to intervene as easily as the two of them have risen to their full potential, but just doing that would force Chris to pay attention to his back.

As Chris was swallowing his saliva as he energized his numb left arm, a brilliant light suddenly poured from the top of his head.

Enormous divine power enveloped his body.

Perhaps Joseph, who had been hiding inside the temple, regained his composure and bestowed a blessing.

Chris regained his confidence thanks to his body, which was as light as if he could fly around, and took the sword of the mercenary commander step by step.

Tyrone’s arrows, which had recovered their magic, kept the mercenaries behind them in check little by little.
