Episode 76
‘Of course, it’s something to think about after defeating that guy.’
A giant soldier made up of dozens of vengeful spirits.
It was clear that he would be incomparably stronger than the ghosts he had met so far. But X was not intimidated. Currently, X’s power using the bear stance has reached a whopping 5,000!
In addition, Yongyong, who emits menacing breath, was also present. Crunch! The giant soldier who had flinched from the breath began to attack again.
‘The attack radius must be enormous.’
After calming down his excitement, X calmly assessed the situation.
The traps along the maze were so disadvantageous to the intruder that it could be said to be a battlefield for giant soldiers.
Kugugoogung!
The giant soldier pulled out a large pillar nearby.
“Yongyong, focus on avoiding!”
“Kyuuuu!”
Slut!
As the giant soldier swung the pillar, the space seemed to be shattered. X, who was immune to status ailments thanks to his bear stance, was unharmed, but Yongyong was pushed back by the shock wave.
X started breathing.
‘Even after being hit by the breath, there was only a slight soot. It doesn’t seem like there was any major damage. The performance is as great as the expensive price. Still, there must be some weakness….’
A rival I met for the first time in a while.
X’s brain began to spin at high speed to find the giant soldier’s weak point. The giant soldier attacked through various routes as if he would not give X even time to think.
Shashashashak!
A barrage of arrows fired from the shoulder.
X quickly dodged with Chukjibeop and Yongyong also flew as high as possible to avoid the attack. The giant soldiers possessed so many weapons that they could be called killing machines. Then, X’s gaze turned towards the head of the giant soldier.
‘…What is that?’
Goooooh.
A gloomy energy was felt from the black jewel embedded in the giant soldier’s forehead. That was the weak point of the giant army where the energy of the vengeful spirit was concentrated. However, finding the weak point does not mean everything has been resolved.
“The problem is how to attack that thing hanging so high…!!”
Kwagagagak!
X used all his strength to repel the giant soldier’s attack.
Even with the power of
If you use your body’s elasticity and technique appropriately, it is not difficult to jump up to the head of a giant soldier, which can be as high as 15 meters. However, we cannot guarantee what will happen during that time in the air.
‘Because it seems like there are still a lot of weapons hidden away.’
Taking a deep breath, X decided to change his plan.
Blindly targeting weaknesses is risky. To put it bluntly, it was worth taking risks because of my denial of death, but I wanted to fight more seriously with my first enemy in a long time.
‘We will attack it step by step.’
Lin Online and Fate.
It was X who had hunted quite a few boss-level monsters. Thanks to this, I was well aware of the mindset I needed to have when attacking such boss monsters.
“Yongyong, because I ate a lot. “You can play a long game, right?”
“Kyuu? Wow!!”
Time has no business!
For the past 10 years, there was a monster called ‘Kartas’ who reigned as the unassailable boss of Lin Online. This guy has incredible stamina that cannot be captured with the level of weapons used by users.
However, X had defeated the infamous Kartas. It was the result of sitting in front of the computer for 75 hours and tapping the mouse and keyboard.
‘Compared to those times, this is a noble person.’
This isn’t Fate’s boring Rin Online.
X’s smiling face was full of madness.
X was seriously planning to beat up the impregnable giant. I planned to attack its weak point and destroy it the moment it revealed its strength.
Shoo! X began his attack in earnest, using the dancing stem and sword technique. The power of the Chukgeombeop, which received the effect of the bear stance, had increased significantly.
[Fatal blow!]
There is a shock.
X’s sword, which shortened the space, left a scratch near the giant soldier’s thigh.
Shoo shoo shoo!
The scratches were regenerating as before, but at a significantly slower rate.
Yongyong fired his breath at the scratch.
‘Tell me one and you know ten!’
There is no more effective tactic than hitting and hitting again.
The thighs that were regenerating were bubbling with Yongyong’s breath. X, who couldn’t possibly miss that, used the Axe Sword technique in succession.
Crunch! Then, the giant soldier must have been shocked, and the sound of machine wheels coming together was heard.
The giant soldiers counterattacked in their own way. Attacks with such a huge range that the party unit is left confused and annihilated! But there is no party here. There are only X and Yongyong.
‘This will be difficult for Yongyong to avoid.’
Unsummon!
X avoided the attack and properly canceled Yongyong’s summoning. Thanks to this, the giant soldier’s attack on Yongyong was ineffective.
In short, a one-sided beating! X and Yongyong were overwhelming the giant soldier, a monster made up of dozens of vengeful spirits that concentrated the technology of the ancient kingdom. Crash…! How many times did they beat the giant soldiers? An unusual sound was heard.
‘Have we entered stage 2?’
Boss patterns that change depending on physical strength.
X wasn’t embarrassed because it was a common occurrence. However, the giant army was changing so rapidly that it was impossible to predict.
Slam! thud! The giant soldier’s heavy shoulders fell to the ground. Crunch! The legs separate and the thick body plate falls to the floor.
“…is it a combined robot?”
A giant soldier that disintegrates on its own! What appeared after taking off the huge armor was a guy who had shrunk to human size.
Looks like a mannequin. What’s unusual is that the black jewel, which was the giant soldier’s weak point, has been moved to its chest.
X instinctively raised his weapon.
‘We moved the weak point to a place where it is easy to be attacked by the enemy. I guess that means I have that much confidence.’
The energy of a vengeful spirit was swirling in the guy’s body. Judging by the pressure, at least 10 vengeful spirits must have gathered. X, who was nervous, attacked first with a dancing stem.
“…!!”
Crunchy.
The stem, which had been spreading out with terrifying force, withered in an instant. The stigma of destruction appeared on the stem. I couldn’t even get close to him, as if he had been robbed of his vitality.
X judged calmly.
‘If I approach, will I be branded with destruction?’
In that case, I couldn’t let Yongyong approach.
Crack! X, who warned Yongyong, rushed towards him first. The effect of Bear Stance ended, but X was immune to the Brand of Doom thanks to his title.
[The ‘Stamp of Destruction’ will be engraved on you!]
[The title’s effect will nullify the ‘Stamp of Destruction’!]
As expected, the Brand of Destruction.
X checked the notification and swung the traveler’s sword. bang! However, the guy raised his arm and easily blocked X’s attack. X, who had been thrown back by the recoil, twisted his body and launched a series of attacks.
‘Although it has revealed its true form, it is basically a machine.’
No matter how advanced the technology is, there is still a fixed pattern. X actually found that pattern when fighting giant soldiers. Thanks to this, I struggled quite a bit at first, but later I was able to avoid all of the giant soldiers’ attacks and beat them.
“Yongyong, are you still okay?”
“Kyuuuu!!”
“Then, give me something hot, please!”
The giant soldier raid has entered into a long-term battle again!
Time passed with attacks coming and going without stopping.
A notification occurred to X, drenched in sweat.
[Time remaining until forced logout: 1 hour and 23 minutes]
The maximum time you can stay connected to Fate is 48 hours. X fought the giant soldier for an entire day. But X’s expression was bright. There wasn’t even a trace of fatigue.
“Whew, is it clear in the nick of time?”
Tiroling! Because cheerful notifications rang one after another.
[You have defeated the ‘Giant Soldier of the Ancient Kingdom’ for the first time in Fate World!]
[Your reputation increases by 500 points!]
[You have acquired the title ‘The One Who Never Gives Up’!]
[Your level has increased!]
[Your level has increased! !]
[Your level has gone up!]
[Your level has gone up!]
[Your level has gone up!]
Notifications that appear as if celebrating victory!
Ssssss!
X smiled in satisfaction as he watched the giant soldiers scattering into the air. It was a pity that we couldn’t take home the valuable loot from the giant soldiers, but it was still a great achievement.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since we’ve had a serious fight.”
“Kyuuuu….”
“Good job, Yongyong. I’m resting. “I’ll call you when I eat.”
X canceled the summoning of Yongyong, who was tired and sagging, and resumed the battle. By avoiding the attacks of fierce giant soldiers, he has raised his practical sense to the limit, and is now able to match Yongyong with just a look.
‘Still, the biggest achievement is….’
The combination of the Axis Sword Technique and the basics!
It was X who used the sword technique to no avail while hitting the giant soldier.
Thanks to this, I raised my proficiency by 10% and learned a new attack method that adds basic skills to the sword technique.
Although no new skills were created, it was possible to increase the proficiency in the sword technique and basic techniques at the same time.
After thinking about it, X checked his newly acquired title.
Those who never give up: As the battle lasts, all damage dealt increases by a certain percentage. Conversely, the amount of damage received is reduced. (Maximum increased damage: 10% / Reduced damage received: 5%)
“Oh, that’s good?”
It was a title worthy of its name. When fighting against other powerful beings, it was natural for the battle to be as long as it is now. There was no reason to refuse if it increased the amount of damage inflicted and reduced the amount of damage received.
“Level 215. “There aren’t that many 250 left.”
Level limit 250 skull gaiter set!
It was a skull set that greatly increased strength and defense. X invested bonus points into composure, thinking of wearing it as soon as he reached level 250. Next, I checked the quest window.
Liberation of Vengeful Spirits of the Ancient Kingdom 25/50
“That’s only half.”
It seemed like I could free all the vengeful spirits by visiting three or four more ancient kingdom ruins. If so, you can proceed to the next Ancient Kingdom linked quest.
X smoothed his chin.
‘What kind of story will this lead to?’
Ancient kingdoms about which little is known. It was possible that he would obtain information that would shake up the Fate World. X thought for a while and shrugged his shoulders.
“If you do something, you will find out.”
Now was the time to faithfully carry out the quest.
X’s eyes sparkled as he looked around. This is the ruins of an ancient kingdom, a ruins of an ancient kingdom with highly advanced technology.
I remembered the forgotten royal seal I got last time.
“…there’s no rule that says you can only hit the jackpot once, right?”
X of Greed!
X, with a sinister smile on his face, walked away. Slam! Dangerous traps worthy of advanced technology! However, X was not the type to stop in fear of traps.
“I just have to search until the connection ends.”
I will profit until the very end!
X moved according to his beliefs.
