The Status Window Disappeared

Showdown with Black Flag (8)

Lightning flashed in front of my eyes, and the heat rushed at me as if burning my skin. However, as the paladins who stood in front of Chris cheered up, the spell that was trying to devour him was pushed back.

Since ancient times, the church’s priests and paladins have been experts in protection and healing. If nothing else, there is no one to follow them when it comes to escorting factors.

Chris believed in their Suho and worked quickly.

‘This is harder than I thought… … .’

As the number of buffs on his body reached double digits, his body gradually felt numb and his stomach queasy.

The longsword, which received more than five strengthening effects, vibrated as if screaming in pain, as if it could not handle the immense power.

However, this level could not handle the magician in front of him.

As he endured the pain and continued to apply the buff, the wizard, feeling a sense of danger, shouted in a fit of panic.

“Th-Do you think you can defeat me, who is protected by Argal-sama, by gathering such insignificant strength?”

“Class change, Mutou. The gwonsa’s determination, the surging will.”

Chris didn’t bother responding to his opponent’s mockery.

Because everyone in this room knew the answer.

Obviously, the skills of the warrior-type classes are on the weaker side in terms of power and effect. Therefore, the effectiveness of each buff is not that great.

Occasionally, something with a strong effect has a strong personality, so it cannot be mixed with other things.

However, when they are overlapped one by one, they will show results that can never be ignored.

If Chris attacks 50% stronger than before, the head of the Black Flag will easily block it.

However, if he attacks, defends, and evades 50% stronger than before, that is no longer a difference of 50%.

When the combination he envisioned is completed.

It should be seen that the actual combat capability is strengthened more than 5 times.

‘Even if two characters with a level of 25 get together, it’s the same as not being able to catch one with a level of 50.’

Chris was so confident that he put an end to his process.

“Class change, Sword Demon. Daily sword. Now, let’s fight properly!”

“bouncer!”

As the confident cry resonated in the stone chamber, the paladins who had reached their limit gradually stepped aside like the ebb tide.

Chris rushed at the wizard with his throbbing body from the excessively stacked strengthening effects.

This combination is very powerful, but the duration is not very long.

If the buffs start to go off one by one, the power will drop sharply, so you need to make a decision as quickly as possible.

“The rush of the sword demon.”

“Shield of Severance!”

The wizard, who felt threatened by Chris’ charge, used a protection spell, but Black Hammer’s masterpiece cut it like a piece of paper.

Chris’s attack, which raised his magical power to the maximum, is a level of skill.

The air around them bursts and rips, making a loud noise as the two close by compete attack and defense several times in an instant.

“Wow, back off. I will get hurt.”

“It is worthwhile to give my life to buy time.”

The clergy of the church did not dare to intervene in the fight between the two, and only their feet stomped. Then Tyrone, who had been standing back, planted a flag on the floor of the stone chamber.

“Epic item, vanguard flag!”

“Do something insignificant… Flames run wild!”

“Half-moon.”

The sorcerer, who had been watching Tyrone, cast a spell as if to drive away a pesky fly, and Chris countered it.

Even though they continued to maintain a distance that the longsword could reach, it was difficult to decide as it was because the opponent was the opponent. It was because the chief, a high-ranking wizard, used all kinds of methods to twist and distort Chris’ sword path to protect himself.

Chris, who was trying to cut off his life force using the Blade of Grief, clicked his tongue at a more skillful defense than he thought.

It was good to forcibly raise each other’s skills to the same level, but the opponent was also a veteran who had crossed the line in his own way.

Like other wizards, it wasn’t enough just to get close and drive the blade.

The magician, who managed to escape and counter the sword attack, which was difficult to follow with his eyes, laughed hard.

He also delved deeply into the status window, so he was well aware that Chris was running out of time.

“What are you doing? Do you think I will collapse just by swinging so ignorantly?”

It was overflowing with composure to even ridicule a subject that was endangering itself.

However, Chris gratefully accepted the other person’s advice. Clearly, now that the remaining time is running out, it is necessary to change the method.

He, who had not taken his eyes off the opponent, shouted sharply as he added strength to his sword strike.

“Tyron, shoot!”

“what? aha! Epic item, the demonic palace of the phoenix!”

Tyrone, who was embarrassed for a moment, understood Chris’ meaning without difficulty.

In fact, the only shooting weapon he could handle was the Demon Bow of the Phoenix.

As the red longbow appeared in Tyrone’s hand, the mage gasped and swallowed his breath.

If the phoenix’s magic bow is filled with the player’s mana and fired, even a wizard would inevitably suffer damage… … .

Now, Chris is clinging to him.

This guy can’t even use anti-ma armor because he’s afraid that the buffs he’s been putting on will blow away, so if he shoots the demon bow now, he’ll be more hurt that way.

‘what? Is it a trick? no. no way… … .’

Before the wizard’s calculations were finished, enormous heat overtook the two men.

Tyrone, who noticed Chris’ plan, did not spare his magic.

He gritted his teeth and suppressed a scream as a fiery arrow exploded at the wizard’s side.

Flame blinds the eyes and deafening noise.

However, the wizard completed the spell for protection and healing even in the pain of boiling skin.

A first-class wizard never stops casting spells.

For them, using spells is as familiar and natural an act as breathing.

‘It’s still okay. My life force was barely consumed throughout the battle! Now, if you just watch out for the blade of grief… … .’

Contrary to the wizard’s prediction, Chris had no intention of using the Blade of Grief.

Even if you try the attack that your opponent is most wary of, you are more likely to fail in vain.

The reason he showed the epic item earlier was to encourage misunderstanding of the wizard.

“Class change, Sword Demon. One-day sword.”

Chris, who was protecting himself using Elrom’s gift and the ring of the guardian dragon, supplemented the buff for the trump card.

Of course, it was difficult to fully withstand the heat of the demon palace with this level of magic tools, but…

Still, fainting from the pain was avoidable.

Chris, who gritted his teeth and held on in the flames, squeezed the remaining mana into his longsword. Then, a thin incontinence spreads through the sword body, which was already shaking uneasy.

He apologized to Black Hammer for making the longsword and delivered the final blow.

The sword attack, which was carried out without thinking about the future, was on a different level from the previous one.

It was to the point where Chris’ vitality was rapidly being cut because of the excessive use of magical power, but it was worth it.

When the sword that had been raised above his head was lowered in a straight line, the thick flames split at once.

The head of the black flag was preparing for an attack in his own way, but he never dreamed that Chris would be able to prepare a blow of this magnitude within the wall of flame.

Before he realized his mistake, the blow cut his spell and body in half, and when that wasn’t enough, the entire wall of the stone chamber was blown away.

The thick stone wall crumbles with the force of an explosion, and sunlight shines through the dark cave. Kneeling from the recoil of the attack, Chris could see a steep cliff beyond the broken wall.

The blow a while ago was more than the one I fired with the ghost horse at Seidran Royal.

He was convinced of that when he saw the wizard who couldn’t even leave a corpse properly.

“Did you win?”

“I guess so.”

Chris responds in a low voice to Tyrone’s fuss.

The priests in the stone chamber sighed and congratulated each other on their achievements. However, before Chris got up from his knees, something happened that he didn’t want to believe at all.

“Now, wait a minute. Everyone over there… … .”

“What!”

The corpse of a wizard buried in a corner of the stone chamber.

No, it was embarrassing to even call it a corpse, and bubbles suddenly formed in the meat. The bubble that inflated its size in an instant begins to take on a human shape.

Tyrone, who had been watching it, muttered blankly.

“What is this… Both the head and heart were blown away. Could it be regenerated?”

Chris and Tyrone finally realized their mistake.

Until now, they believed that if the head and heart were pierced, the player’s life force would not work…

It was simply because the opponent’s vitality was insufficient.

The magician, who had increased his vitality by using the power of prey, regenerated in the blink of an eye even with only six pieces left.

The wizard, who had been revived with scars all over his body, gritted his teeth and was indignant.

“If your vitality had been a little lower, you would have almost died. nasty bastards. You guys are the first to push me this far.”

“f*ck, that’s such an honor.”

Chris, who had exhausted all his strength with the final blow, replied in a weak voice.

Right now, the magician has consumed most of his mana, and he looks like a man-in-the-middle, but…

Chris’s condition was even worse than that.

Not only Chris, but also the Paladins, Priests, and Tyrone no longer had the strength to fight.

The sorcerer, knowing it well, picks up the broken staff and throws it down, raising his right hand as if condemning everyone to death.

But as he was about to cast his last spell, a huge distortion appeared behind him.

“This, this!”

Instinctively realizing its identity, the magician hurriedly canceled the spell and fell to his knees.

Eventually, a huge eyeball protruded from the distortion of the space. The eyes, many times larger than those of the wizard, stared straight at him and uttered a sullen voice.

“I bestowed grace on you, but to show you an ugly side… buggy guy. You are the first to disappoint me like this.”

Chris and Tyrone trembled when they heard the deja vu voice.

It was a voice that seemed to loosen the strength of the whole body and cut the willpower just by listening to it. This was exactly what the two of them heard at the altar of the Goddess.

The wizard who was reprimanded by the eyeball bowed his head repeatedly and apologized.

“I’m sorry, Argal-nim. I’ll take care of them right now, so please have mercy… … .”

“Not required. You bastard, just die.”

After the words of the eyeball were over, the wizard’s body collapsed weakly, and he could not get up again.

The people inside the stone chamber froze at the sight of it. It seemed that even the religious priests did not dare to insult the goddess.

The eyeballs turned to Chris, feeling better, as if satisfied with their awe.

“On the other hand, you seem to be of little use. I will drop you my present, so please accept it as a thank you.”

“That, that!”

As soon as the words of his eyeballs finished, Chris struggled as the back of his right hand felt like it was burning.

When he hurriedly turned his hand over and looked at the source of the pain, he could clearly see the holy mark of the chest body engraved on the back of his hand.

After that, the eyeball distorted the space again and disappeared from the stone chamber.

“Oops! It’s a gift from the gods.”

“I understand, Mr. Cadral. I always follow your will.”

The priests who were praying after seeing Chris’ tattoo suddenly became alive.

He read their thoughts and hurriedly got up.

These devout priests had no intention of sending Chris, who had received the gift of evil spirits, kindly.

“Now, wait a minute. This is what I wanted… … .”

“Sorry, Chris.”

William, who managed to survive to the end, swung his sword at Chris mercilessly.

Tyrone, who read the suspicious atmosphere and approached him, struggled to receive it and shouted.

“Hey, you inflexible fanatics! Are you really going to come out like this?”

“I’m really sorry, but our opinions don’t matter.”

“I am the sword and shield of the Order!”

The paladins, who made up their minds by reciting prayers, willingly aimed their swords at the comrades who shed blood together.

If each other’s stamina and mana were exhausted, only the number of heads remained.

Chris, sensing a dark defeat, grabbed Tyrone and ran away.

However, the entrance to the cave was already sealed by the Paladins. Even if they go out there, those who have been deployed to prevent the black flag from escaping will stop the two of them.

“Patience! I knew when I would get hit in the back of the head, but I never thought it would hit me this fast.”

After a deep sigh, Chris turned his eyes to the last remaining escape route.

Just before, the wall collapsed with his last blow.

The precipice spreading beyond it is the path for the two men. Seeing his expression, Tyrone asked again with trembling eyes.

“I’m serious? Is this a complete madman?”

“I’ll call a ghost horse.”

“Oh, what do you mean? I think it will be hard though… … .”

“Shut up and let’s go. Hey, come quickly!”

Chris threw himself down the steep cliff, calling the ghost horse with Tyrone.

The angle is not vertical at all, but it is high enough to be almost vertical.

The two men clutching each other gnashed their teeth in fright at the increasing speed.

As the relentless gravity pulled the two closer and closer, the stones and twigs hit their backs and sides felt like bullets. If it rolls and falls and gets caught in a bush, the grass is torn, and if it gets caught in a branch, the branch breaks, so the speed doesn’t decrease too much.

The rest of the paladins and priests in the stone chamber did not even dare to pursue them at the gruesome appearance of the two.

Chris, who disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye, lost sight of Tyrone and was left alone.

The vitality of the status window ran out early, so I couldn’t rely on it anymore.

As he trembled from the ever-increasing pain, the unexpected fall finally came to an end.

Chris, who was prepared for terrible pain, was swam in the air by an unknown force.

The merciless inertia tortured his whole body as if crushing it, but it was much weaker than he expected.

It felt as if the invisible giant’s grip had grabbed his body.

From noble mtl dot com

My vision was blurry from losing so much blood as I fell, but I could see a horse and a man at the bottom of the cliff.

“… found.”

The woman on the horse, holding a cane, muttered in a voice that seemed to be half happy and half sad.

Before long, his floating body was slowly pulled down, and soft hands supported his head.

Chris surrendered his whole body to the sensation and lost his mind as it was.
