Chapter 228
# 228
228. Mission Type Complex (8)
Boom! Pupperpuppung!
The fleet is pouring fire on the monsters in the outer zone.
Hundreds of monsters all at once turned into powder and scattered. However, as many as the number of deaths, monsters popped out from somewhere and charged the fleet.
‘I can’t stand it for long.’
Even if ammunition is infinite, there is a limit to the durability of cannons and ballistas.
Smoke was already rising from the muzzles of some of the cannons.
Unable to open fire. It seemed to be out of order due to continuous artillery fire from the beginning of the mission.
Although it may have undergone reorganization and repairs for a while, the fleet did not stop shelling.
They are faithfully following my order not to let the monsters cling to the 1st party.
[Current evolution: 092 / 100]
Great.
The shell of the egg began to crumble.
Huge cracks spread up and down from the black pupils.
‘The last one is simple.’
I firmly gripped the sword in my right hand.
Bifrost’s blade emitted a dazzling light.
I’ll give you my strength, so you’re telling me to take care of it.
rumble.
The whole forest is shaking.
The trees in the forest were swept away by the earthquake and smashed all at once, and the overturned ground rose and sank.
[Current evolution: 093 / 100]
Kwajik.
The egg, which swallowed several large monsters in one bite, trembled.
“Listen up, mechanic. From now on, the Lucette will approach the egg at full speed.”
[…over there?]
The tentacles spread around the egg waved all at once.
“If we don’t deal with it, it’s annihilation. I don’t have time to play with you. So okay? No? Say it quickly!”
[That’s…]
Boom!
I hit the deck hard.
[Oh okay! you can go! I’m going!]
The propellant at the back of the airship spewed fire.
high-speed navigation. The Lucette quickly burrowed into Al’s vicinity.
[Aaaaaaa! I don’t know!]
The tentacles bent toward the airship and approached.
[The airship ‘Lucette’ has been destroyed!]
Kuung!
In an instant, the ship rocked violently with vibration.
The tips of the long, thin tentacles glided past the sides of the airship.
“This is fine! Ignore it.”
Lucette moved and rotated around to avoid the approaching tentacles, gradually starting to get closer to the egg.
The deck rocked like a roller coaster. I held onto the railing and held on. Upside down and left and right were reversed, but everyone was holding up well, maintaining their balance.
[Too many tentacles!]
“Leave it to us.”
Kang!
The tentacle that was about to hit the hull bounced off the transparent membrane.
Katio’s magic barrier.
Paaang!
A huge puncture blast exploded, and a steel arrow pierced the middle of the tentacle.
Jenna was standing upside down on an overturned deck, firing a longbow in rapid succession. It couldn’t deal with the tentacle itself, but it was enough to change its trajectory.
[Current level of evolution: 094 / 100]
Ooh oh oh!
In an instant, the Lucette was pushed back.
A roar that shook the air.
shit. blah blah.
The crumbled outer shell was pouring down like rain.
[Ahhh!]
Bang!
Tentacles sprouted from under the forest and pierced the rear of the airship.
[The airship ‘Lucette’ was destroyed!] The
‘Magic engine…’
1/3 of the Lucette was destroyed.
All in all, the part where the engine is.
Losing momentum, the Lucette began to fall rapidly.
“you can do it!”
Katio waved his hand.
Light blue magical energy entangled the entire airship like a spider’s web.
[Reconstruction of the virtual horse power engine!]
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.
The plummeting Lucette stopped in the air.
“Go again!”
No answer.
I hurried into the cockpit.
A girl in a mechanic’s uniform was lying on the steering wheel, bleeding.
I think I bumped my head wrong as the airship rocked.
‘Did he pass out?’
However, there was currently no manpower to be removed for airship piloting.
I snapped my fingers.
[Titling!]
[Master ‘Han (★★★★)’ requests manual control of the Lucette!]
A notification popped up on Amkena’s control panel.
Amkena, who was aligning the ranks of the fleet with tactical tools, hurriedly turned her perspective and looked at the Lucette on the screen.
[Do you want to operate the airship manually?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
The Lucette floated slowly.
Seven tentacles were attacking in front of him.
giggling!
Lucette dodged the tentacles by turning five times in a row.
A workmanship worthy of admiration.
‘Let’s drive first.’
I also prepared a statue of a war horse for me.
Paaang!
The Lucette went at high speed.
[‘Katio (★★★★)’ enters a state of runaway magic.]
[Tips/Runaway magic is an abnormal condition that occurs when a wizard uses excessive magic.]
“Ugh!”
Blood poured out of Katio’s mouth.
It is replacing the role of the magic engine with its own body.
No matter how talented a magician you are, you can’t help but go.
[Current evolution: 095 / 100]
Beyond the half-crumbled egg, its shape was revealed vaguely.
“Jenna.”
“Let’s go!”
Papapang! phut! Papang!
The tentacles pierced by the steel arrows flinched away.
“Belquist.”
“I’m ready.”
“Kishasha.”
“let’s go!”
I nodded.
It is now 30m to the egg.
A landscape reminiscent of a black, gigantic cliff unfolded before my eyes.
“Good work. The three of us will finish.”
“Brother, me too…”
“No, you protect the airship. There must be a retreat.”
Jenna, who had a sad expression on her face, nodded.
“thanks.”
I gripped my sword tightly.
Tentacles were attacking me right in front of me.
[Unique skill sign language (transcendence type) activated!]
[‘Kishasha (★★★★)’ transforms!]
Sign language once more.
Kishasha, who transformed into a transcendent type, struck the tentacle with her fist.
Tukan!
A shock wave spread from where Kishasha’s fists hit, and the entire tentacle shook like a wave.
“Kwaaang!”
Kishasha cried out and jumped over the railing.
After that, it started running on top of the swaying tentacles.
“I’m tired of waiting.”
Belquist moved toward the bow.
[Inherent skill ‘White Dragon Wing’ activates!]
White horns began to sprout from Belqist’s head.
“I can only use this power once. But I can pierce the road.”
Whoa!
Belquist’s sword shook slowly.
“Go first.”
I nodded.
And jumped over the railing into the sky.
[Ha ha ha! It reminds me of the time when I was having fun with the emperor!]
Immediately, the body under the influence of gravity began to fall.
I changed my stance in the air and threw the Bifrost.
Bifrost’s blade flew at lightning speed and stuck in the middle of the tentacle.
‘absorption.’
Paperweight!
Dark red lightning flashed from my left arm and Bifrost at the same time.
Then, the body affected by the magnetic force flew to the place where the sword was, as if being sucked away.
‘Once more.’
Stepping backwards on the tentacle, I drew my sword and threw it again.
The flying sword bent and stuck into the next tentacle.
[Current evolution: 096 / 100]
Messages of deaths of heroes came to mind one after another.
The fleet’s fire net had been breached. I gradually moved closer to the egg, going from tentacle to tentacle. Beside me, Kishasha was jumping on all fours.
oh oh oh
The egg groaned and gathered dozens of tentacles into one place.
And they fired at us all at once.
Tentacles rushed in as if a wall was being erected.
[Linked skill ‘Baengnyeongjin Gongsang’ activated!]
Transparent energy passed me from behind.
It deflected me and made its way through the tentacles.
Pupperpuppung!
Dozens of tentacles were torn apart like fireworks.
I made my way between the black blood-guzzling tentacles and stepped on top of the egg.
“…”
I looked down and there were eyes looking at me from under my feet.
[Current evolution: 097 / 100]
‘…after.’
It bothers me quite a bit.
“Cut your eyes.”
hooked
I thrust the blade into his eyeball.
However, the blade that passed through the shell stopped halfway through.
Bifrost, which cuts through steel, is blocked.
Well anyway…
“You hit the last one.”
I smiled.
and.
“Uracha!”
Kwajik!
Kishasha fell from the sky and pressed the sword hilt with her foot.
Ooooooh!
Blood poured from the pierced eye with a blinding flash.
At that moment
[Destiny Break!]
Clink!
The field split like glass.
The mission conditions have been met, but instead of clear messages, familiar words come to mind.
It was a message displayed when entering the end of the 40th floor, which was a loop mission.
“what?”
The purple clouds that covered the sky had disappeared as if they had been washed.
“What is this?”
Jenna blinked.
Before we knew it, we were back on the deck of the Lucette.
When I turned my head, I saw three airships floating side by side.
“Have you not broken all of them? You have penetrated the wall of miasma, the large army of monsters, and all the tentacles, and you have inserted the sword with the blessing of the goddess into the egg. But why…?”
Katio said with a dejected expression.
‘…This.’
I narrowed my eyes.
Above the vast forest.
This was the place where we first embarked on our mission.
However, nothing has changed in the forest.
[Monster Corps Lv.???] X 8325
There were still monsters swarming in the lower part of the forest
[Current level of evolution: 001 / 100]
In the middle of the forest.
The egg was still wriggling.
“You can’t… do this all over again?”
Katio laughed.
“Why didn’t you go back to the waiting room? Didn’t you deal with Al earlier?”
“I don’t think we have to deal with this one either.”
Belquist continued.
“Isn’t the number of monsters less than that?
“No, it’s just a break… it’s hard anymore,”
Jenna grinned.
The enemies remain the same, but our situation has changed drastically.
More than half of the heroes are wounded or killed in battle It was disabled, and the airships were emitting smoke all over the place.
Besides, I overused the power of Exceed and Black Dragon Blood.
At least I won’t be able to play my part in this mission.
The situation of the other 1st party members was no different from mine. [What should I do?]
Benic asked for my opinion via communication.
[
The morale of the troops is dropping. If we leave it like this, we will soon be unable to fight. ..]
“It must be difficult. I probably won’t be able to fight a second time.”
There are holes all over the deck.
I sat with my butt on the broken pillar.
[So you’re saying retreat?]
“I can’t retreat. Is there such a thing on a mission?”
There’s no such thing as retreat, but the timing is way too late.
[In that case…]
”
Look behind
you
.
” As soon as I took a bite and took a bite, the lukewarm water spread all over my body
. You were
scared ,
thinking
you had to wake up like
this one more time. If you
did,
you would have beaten me no matter how much. I wouldn’t have been able to come out.]
They say all the stars.
I emptied the water bottle to the end.
[Now it seems it’s my turn to repay the favor.]
Chik.
Remote communication cut off.
And.
“Listen, mercenaries!”
Forest A huge echo echoed throughout:
“I am not rich enough to give you all money! And I am not honorable enough to give you all a title!”
The echo continued.
“But today, I will hire all of you!”
On the back of the Lucette.
Countless airships soar in the sky. Although each has
a different appearance and flag color and pattern, the airships stood side by side with their bows aligned.
And
on the deck of the airship in the foremost stood a woman wearing a white silver dress.
“The price… .”
I looked down.
The plain outside the forest. A countless number of mercenaries are riding horses.
At the head of the cavalry, Yoshu, a young man called the Mercenary King, was looking up at me.
‘The price.’
“This is the future of Taoni!”
Freea raised her sword.
“All charge! Wipe out all the villains who have deceived and deceived the people of the empire!”
Bouuuuuu.
Yoshu blew a large horn.
