The Status Window Disappeared

Showdown with the Black Flag (7)

The paladins who rushed at the cheeky wizard noticed the change as soon as they took the first step. The moment they set foot in the stone chamber engraved with heretical patterns, more than half of the blessings protecting their bodies were blown away.

Experienced, they lowered their swords and raised their shields to warn the rear.

“be careful! This room is the god of heresy!”

Suspicious and eerie divine power strangles their bodies and hinders their steps. But now I can’t retreat.

Because the head of the black flag was already concocting a spell for the uninvited guests.

The brave paladins shook off their hesitation and put strength into their legs.

If you back away from here, you will only become a victim of attack spells.

Since ancient times, the best response to a mage was a fierce charge.

The wizard who laughed at the paladins raised the staff in his right hand and shouted a starter word.

If there’s one thing they overlooked, it’s the fact that ordinary wizards can only use one spell, but as the leader of the Black Banner, he was a master of three spells at the same time.

When the magician’s three spells were activated in unison, the paladins boasting powerful defenses were also bounced off in all directions.

“Repulsion Field, Dragon’s Breath, Thunder God’s Escort.”

“Four, triple cast!”

“Don’t back down!”

The colorless and transparent force field pushed the Paladins away, and flames rained down from above, and spheres of lightning struck armor and shields. However, armed with loyalty, the Paladins steadfastly advanced even while smelling the smell of burning flesh. Their lives have long been dedicated to God.

As his opponent struggled through three spells, the mage swung his wand again in slight annoyance.

“This is why the fanatics… A riot of flames.”

“what?”

When the fourth spell exploded on the struggling paladins, the body that had endured with firm will collapses powerlessly.

The players who participated in the subjugation party were quite taken aback by the skill with a very familiar name.

The opponent’s last use was not a normal spell, but a pyromancer class skill.

“Does that bastard have a status window too?”

“Since he is the head of the Black Flag, he must have it.”

“So it’s actually a quad cast? Is this something we can win?”

In the history of magic that Chris had been learning, casting three spells at a time and four spells had completely different meanings.

Triple casting can be used enough if you are at the level of the dean of the Royal Seidran, but quadruple casting is a secret that only a few geniuses have been able to use throughout the entire history of magic.

If you can perform a quadruple cast with only your own skills, you can see that you have risen to the ranks of the ‘Six Kings’, the strongest people on the continent, including Elgar. Of course, his quadruple casting was not that much because he borrowed the power of the status window.

However, there is no doubt that it is a very rough and dangerous opponent.

As the church’s collaborators who knew the opponent’s level properly muttered anxiously, the Paladins pounded their shields with swords and encouraged their allies.

“Don’t be afraid. The evil deeds of the black flag must come to an end today.”

“Yes, magicians’ skills are powerful but have long cooldowns. So if you use up your skills step by step, you can win!”

As one of the players behind Chris acted as an explainer and devised a rough plan, a small glimmer of hope hovered over him.

However, the wizard, who had been pouring out spells and pressuring everyone, snorted and crushed the atmosphere.

“Class change, void mage. Devouring on nothingness!”

“What, what!”

Everyone was astonished when the magician who was using the skill of the pyromancer suddenly changed classes.

But one of them, like Chris, kept his head cool.

‘Yes, since he is the head of the Black Flag, he must have unlocked the class change function.’

There were functions such as prey on the status window, but it was difficult for them to directly affect the battle.

So, for now, you may consider only changing the class.

Watching the battle from behind, he put strength into his longsword grip and took a posture as if he would run away at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Tyrone asked in a worried voice.

“Hey, are you thinking of attacking me after seeing that?”

“don’t worry. Class change is a trump card. The cooldown is 30 minutes, so even that guy can only use it once per battle.”

Chris explained quickly in a low, small voice.

Thanks to the Paladins constantly attacking in front of them, the Void Mage’s skills were quickly consumed.

Sooner or later, when his skills run out, that’s the timing for a counterattack.

However, the wizard changed the class once again as if to ridicule Chris’ calculation.

“Class change, ice ruler. The cold air corps to protect!”

“What!”

“Hey, you said the cooldown was 30 minutes? Hasn’t it been three minutes now?”

This time, Tyrone’s scolding passed past Chris’ ears, astonished.

Even if the black flag improved the status bar, this is a bit too much.

Chris quickly guessed the cause, dodging the ice chunks flying from all sides.

However, when he stepped on the pattern of the bust carved on the floor of the stone chamber, Chris’ status window popped up a new message.

He opens his eyes wide and reads it quickly.

[Argal’s divine power greatly improves the performance of the status window!]

‘What is this again?’

I knew that this room was the place of evil spirits, but I didn’t know that it would directly affect the status window.

Chris took a close look at his status window in the midst of drinking and screaming.

Significantly different points from usual stood out in various parts of the status window.

‘Massage and vitality recovery speed greatly increased, predation power absorption rate increased, skill cooldown time decreased and power increased… How are you? Look at this?’

It wasn’t long before Chris fixed his gaze on a single point.

The cooldown timer next to the class change button in the status window.

The number on the timer had decreased to the point where it was incomparable to the usual. It must be because of this that the head of the black flag uses the class change feature.

Tyrone, who followed him into the room, also noticed the abnormality in the status window and exchanged glances with him.

If all of this goes on forever, their odds of winning are infinitely lower. In fact, even at this moment, the paladins and priests of each denomination were vomiting blood one by one and collapsing.

“Oh, I can’t. I’ll call in reinforcements.”

“me… I go too!”

Frightened by the might of the wizard, the players started running away from the stone chamber one by one.

The church’s clergy quickly tried to stop them, but even when they put their hands together, they couldn’t help it, as the sand slipped through their fingers.

Chris was relieved to see their eyes disappear.

“Okay, it’s nice that the useless things are gone.”

“Hey, shouldn’t we jump out a bit too? Is that guy too strong?”

Chris let out a sigh as Tyrone cried beside him.

However, I couldn’t blame him, the ability the opponent showed was so overwhelming. Basically, a skilled person who can cast three times freely uses the status window of the wizard class, so the tiger is flapping its wings.

Chris said softly to calm him down.

“Tyron. In fact, I also have a class change function.”

“As expected. But can you beat him with that?”

The quick-witted Tyrone understood Chris well, but was invariably skeptical.

Even so, the skills of the warrior class were overall balanced, but were less powerful than those of the wizard class. If Chris and the wizard exchange skills one by one, his magic and vitality will run out first.

There are still paladins and priests on this side, but the other side is capable of triple casting.

So even if I used the same tactics, there was no way I could win against him.

However, Chris did not want to give up this battle easily. The opponent stole his status window and made him go through high school for over two years.

If Chris had a killer, he would be the enemy he would kill right after Breton’s prime minister.

‘Should I bet on a gambler with the blade of grief? no. The opponent’s firepower is so overwhelming that you’ll be killed before you even put your sword in.’

The leader of the black flag was burning, freezing, and smashing everything that approached him.

Unless it was a group of fanatics carefully selected from each church, Chris had no intention of attacking him head-on.

Rushing with a ghost horse was no different from a half-suicidal attempt, and the priests were staring at him, so he couldn’t use it. Besides, this time the opponent was a wizard, so it seemed that he could cope with moving to the sound dimension sufficiently.

Sensing his heart, Tyrone waited for his decision quietly without further haste.

‘Even if I drag my time like this, it will only put me at a disadvantage. We have to decide quickly. What can I do and what can he not?’

It hadn’t been that long since I entered the stone chamber.

The power of the subjugation party has already been reduced to less than half.

There were too many casualties among the Paladins and Priests, and most of the collaborators had fled.

The wizard, who judged that he had already won, stopped casting spells for a while and then looked at the remaining members and became mad.

“Did you come to catch me just like this! If you can’t win, you shouldn’t have touched it! The crime of invading the territory without Argal’s permission is serious. I won’t send you down from this mountain alive.”

“Do you think we’ll be obsessed with our lives?”

One of the paladins gritted his teeth and spat it out, and Tyrone complained softly.

“I’m very attached… Shouldn’t you have gone with the lungs who ran away first?”

“pain? hmm… … .”

Chris, realizing something about Tyrone’s monologue, clicked his tongue briefly.

If you are ahead of the magician in front of you, there is only one.

It was only the knowledge from the days of Arios Online.

A faint smile formed on Chris’ lips as he recalled the years he had spent with the worst Mangem ever.

Even though I couldn’t get an epic item or become a famous ranker… … .

He was sure he really enjoyed playing Arios Online. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to continue doing that.

Chris, who finally found a way after deep contemplation, asked Tyrone.

“Give me some time from now.”

“Do you have any good ideas?”

“Otherwise, would you say something like this?”

After briefly closing his eyes and finishing the calculation, he took a posture with both hands as if he was making a sword bow. Then, with a quick and accurate vocalization, the skill was activated.

“Fair wind, the fury of the sword demon.”

The first thing I activated was the sword demon class buff skills.

Chris’s steps became lighter, his mana was restored one level faster, and his whole body was energized.

The wizard who had been defeating the paladins who were attacking him focused his gaze on him.

“Among the church’s collaborators, there was one who recovered the status window… But do you think you can properly handle Argal-sama’s power!”

Chris didn’t bother to refute the wizard’s scolding. Whether or not he can properly handle the status window will be known in a little while.

As planned in advance, he continued his skills like flowing water.

“Class change, spearman. The breath of Piljung, the vitality of Yoosu.”

“Hmm?”

Everyone in the stone room looks puzzled at Chris’ eccentricity of only applying buffs and not attacking.

Moreover, many people were surprised when Chris showed a class change that only a few of the black flags were able to do.

He goes straight to the next level whether they do or not.

“Class change, berserker. A roar of rage, a sense of battle.”

Each time a buff of each class is activated, a new power dwells in Chris’ body.

Even if the class change function is used, the previously activated buff is still active.

Only then did the wizard, realizing his intentions, exclaim in a horrified voice.

“Nonsense! If you mix and use the skills of different classes, they will collide with each other and make a mess… … .”

The wizard’s question was perfectly correct.

Although it can be lumped together as a buff, the skills Chris used have their own history, characteristics, and nature. Attempts to mix and match such things will usually fail miserably.

Taking medicines that are originally good for the body at random does not increase the effect.

However, Chris knew the buff skills of all classes from the days of Arios Online.

After recovering the status window and acquiring the class change function, I even tried using it myself.

All that remains is to combine carefully selected skills in the correct order.

The wizard, who saw that the energy in his body was gradually amplifying, felt a sense of crisis and started aiming for Chris.

“To play nonsense… Thunder God’s claws!”

“Where are you aiming? Shadow Beast!”

Tyrone, who was sitting in the corner of the stone chamber, used his shadow to take the wizard’s attack.

The paladins who saw this all gathered in front of Chris and raised their shields.

“Protect your collaborator!”

“We are Lord Cadral’s shield and sword to guard his sheep!”

“No evil will ever pass through my protection.”

As the prayers of the Paladins and Priests resounded, their protection became more solid.

The wizard gritted his teeth and began pouring his power into the enemies in front of him.
