Episode 245 Traffic Light (1)
* * *
“I only heard about the double dungeon, but when I actually went in, the experience points were no joke. “How is your brother?”
“I also climbed quite a bit.”
“Wow… that seems really crazy.”
As Park Dong-jae said, the experience point gain here was incomparably faster than in regular dungeons.
So, in a situation where it was difficult to raise even 1 level, I went up by 3. The current level was 248.
Hunters who come to dungeon 13 next time will not be able to enjoy this privilege.
This is because once an outsider enters a double dungeon, the instability is resolved and it disappears.
It is not for nothing that hunters consider entering a double dungeon as a coincidence. Because it’s not common.
During the move, nothing special happened to Kang-hoo and Park Dong-jae.
In fact, in the original work, Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong almost died more than once by falling into traps or going down the wrong path.
It was even more so because it was a double dungeon that gave good rewards but made you enter with the intention to roll.
However, if you go back to the memory of the original and just pull out the safe route like tweezers and move it, nothing will happen.
Thanks to this, Kanghu was able to continue his strategy by training buff linkage and movement linkage with Dongjae Park.
In particular, Kang-hoo continued to coach Park Dong-jae quite intensively so that he could create various variables in the battle.
An illustration of an acceleration buff being applied to Ganghu and a monster at the same time, causing the monster to suffer an unexpected attack.
An illustration of a magic monster being ‘intentionally’ overly applied the concentration buff to make it difficult to concentrate.
This picture shows that the buff is not applied to Ganghu on purpose, but is applied instantaneously when he counterattacks the monster.
In this way, we created various plans and Park Dong-jae developed his application skills by adapting to the flow.
Since Kang-hoo made a decision and set a direction, Park Dong-jae’s learning progressed quite quickly.
Above all, Park Dong-jae really liked the training. This is because the synergy with Kanghu was maximized.
Furthermore, I was satisfied that I could play a leading role in other places where Ganghu was not present.
On the other hand, I also felt greedy.
I want to become a better buffer than I am now and become the buffer that Kanghu always looks for first!
It was definitely a motivator.
As I progressed through various trainings that included actual battles, I was already in the main boss monster area.
The name of the boss monster is Deseo.
This humanoid monster is characterized by its appearance similar to a boxer.
In particular, the color of the glove worn on the fist changes depending on the case, like an LED effect.
Only by killing this guy can you activate the skills that Jang Si-hwan and Chae Gwan-hyeong acquired in the original work.
‘Deseo’s first pattern is to designate a opponent. There is no problem as I can accept this.’
Deseo selects one target at the beginning. This is called designating a competitor.
Receiving the designation was very important as all aggro and attention was focused solely on the opponent.
In the original work, Jang Si-hwan was designated as the opponent and had a hard time in close combat in the beginning.
Since all patterns were focused only on the opponent, in other words, hunters who were not the opponent were relatively safe.
‘Red Fist instant death. All Yellow Fist magical power evaporates. ‘Experience gained when hit by a green fist is accumulated.’
I also recalled the red, yellow, and green fists that were called traffic lights.
If you hit a red fist, you die immediately. I wonder if such an unreasonable decision could exist, but it is true.
This is the fist you need to be most careful with, so if you don’t want to die at this time, you are forced to avoid it at all costs.
When the yellow fist is hit, all magical power of the target disappears and becomes 0.
It is true that it was a threat to Ganghu, but it was also a fist that could be used strategically if necessary.
This is because the total amount of magical energy is small in the first place, and Ganghu’s magical energy recovery mechanism is an ultra-fast magical recovery caused by hypersensitivity.
Although it caused pain, it did not render him incapable of fighting.
The green fist is a pretty good fist if you can ‘hit’ Deseo well.
The problem is that if you are beaten outright, you are likely to die. It is impossible to hit with an empty mind.
However, if you accumulate experience points by hitting smartly, the reward when Deseo dies will be significantly greater.
“Are you okay, bro?”
“Let’s just stick together for now. “We’ll see if it’s okay later.”
“I’ll set the distance to the maximum. “If I get close, the aggro may come towards me for no reason.”
“Let’s go like that.”
Ganghu nodded.
Ganghu had no worries about aggro because there was a pattern to designate a opponent.
It was a natural and wise choice for Park Dong-jae, who knew nothing. I know the position of the buffer well.
Kaduk.
I ate a Mad Solarium that Kanghu took out of his pocket. The remaining number is 12. There is still plenty.
“Dongjae.”
“uh?”
“Relax your shoulders. Goes.”
Kang-hoo tapped Park Dong-jae’s shoulder, which was lifted so sharply that it almost reached his ears, and ran forward.
Then, Deseo greeted Ganghu as if he had been waiting and immediately extended both fists towards Ganghu.
【’Deseo the Furious’ has designated you as a ‘confrontator’.
Until you die, all of Deseo’s attention will be focused only on you.】
A long notification message.
To sum it up in one line, it means that I only beat one guy.
From Kang-hoo’s perspective, it was much more convenient because he could be sure of Park Dong-jae’s safety. I am thankful that there is a pattern.
Right then.
Kuooot!
Deseo roared.
Then, a group of monsters appeared from the surrounding forest area, which was formed in a circle around the battlefield.
They were small Deseos that looked exactly like Deseo. The expression “little Deseo” also seemed to fit well.
These guys are all equipped with yellow fists. Each time you get hit, your magic power will be reset.
In the original, Chae Gwan-hyung was in charge of the small Deseo, but now Kang-hu was planning to cover both sides.
however.
Wow? Wow?
The little Deseos who had appeared with great momentum suddenly took off or their bodies were thrown forward.
He soon fell over and attacked his compatriot in front of him, and as he was unable to control his direction, his fist flew into his face.
Park Dong-jae applied an acceleration buff to all of them.
The guys who received an unexpected benefit(?) were unable to control their unruly movements and ended up in an accident.
‘Nice timing.’
The board was laid out nicely.
Before Kang-hoo could cover, Park Dong-jae had already made the decision and created the situation. It was the picture I wanted.
【Creation Art】
【Shadow Walk】
Ganghu first created an alter ego and attached it to Deseo. All I had to do was buy him some time.
Then, he sent a shadow to where the little Deseos were located and immediately changed places.
Ugh! Wow!
By now, the little Deseos were waking up.
So Ganghu dug into the center of the group and brought out a good option to strike at once.
[Thunder Strike]
Wide-area attack skill.
A lightning strike was placed exactly at the center point to hit the entire group of little Deseos.
And then return to the shadow that was placed near Deseo. Everything happened in an instant.
Next moment.
Absolutely! Quick! Quick!
Ukekekekeek!
The thunderbolt neatly laid out in the center of the group poured out a powerful current and hit everyone at once.
‘Good.’
Kang Hu showed a satisfied expression.
Thanks to Park Dong-jae’s wise decision and confusing their steps from the start.
A picture was created that shows how to use lightning strikes effectively.
Otherwise, I would have had to use lightning strikes multiple times or use a dagger to catch some of them.
‘I won’t have to worry from now on.’
Deseo activates his own patterns like this from time to time.
This is a pattern that usually summons reinforcements, but all reinforcements target Ganghu.
At that time, it seemed like it would be easier to focus on Deseo if Park Dong-jae kept pace like now.
Ugh!
Deseo, enraged by the annihilation of the reinforcements, changed the color of his fists from yellow to red. It’s an instant death fist.
Paang!
At the same time, he kicked the ground with all his might and rushed toward Ganghu like a spring.
To begin with, he was a nimble guy with a slim build, so if he was caught off guard, he could have suffered a serious blow.
【Quick Evasion】
“Huh!”
Perhaps because I twisted my body sharply to avoid it for a moment, a breathing sound naturally came out of my mouth.
I was planning to use the guaranteed evasion chance activated by Park Dong-jae’s Earth Mother Goddess protection on the red fist.
Even though certain evasion was currently activated, I had no intention of getting hit by the red fist.
Whoop! Whoop!
Meanwhile, Deseo, who had invaded Kanghu again, delivered a concise one-two punch.
The movements were light and cheerful, but the situation was very heavy as the outcome of the punch was instant death.
at that time.
In order to deliver a more effective blow to Ganghu, there was a movement in which Deseo pulled his shoulders back.
Although he was a strong man who couldn’t look back at all because he had to focus on Deseo.
I knew that Park Dong-jae would irregularly use buff skills at this time.
This is because it was a part of training in collaboration with Park Dong-jae throughout the move.
Kang-hoo was confident of Park Dong-jae’s assistance, so he advanced at high speed in a situation where the red fist was threatening.
…?
The moment when Deseo tilts his head while looking at Kang-hoo’s body leaning forward instead of backward.
【Leap】
【Grave Decapitation】
Phew!
Kanghu’s lightning strike, combining a leap and a massive decapitation, tore through Deseo’s side.
Wow!
Hood!
Because not only Kanghu but also Deseo were under acceleration, the blow was quite severe.
Under normal circumstances, it was a massive decapitation attack that would have torn his side open.
However, the scale of damage increased due to the acceleration of Deseo, which was approaching.
The flesh on his side was torn into pieces the size of half a fist. It’s like a bunch of minced meat.
Huh! Huh! Huh!
Deseo, sensing that more damage had been inflicted than expected, swung his fist threateningly.
It was thought that Kang-hu would rush in again, taking advantage of this opportunity. It was a smart decision.
Kang-hoo looked back briefly and gave Park Dong-jae a thumbs up. The connection was made exactly as I wanted.
Eh!
Soon Deseo’s fist turned green.
Changing the color of the fist was possible according to Deseo’s will, but there was a limit to the maintenance time.
So, if you use the red fist for a certain period of time, there is a waiting time when the holding time is over.
In the end, I had no choice but to choose yellow or green, but he chose green.
Of course, one does not know that this fist accumulates preliminary experience points in advance for the opponent.
By Deseo standards, the green fist is just a fist that is much harder and stronger than other fists.
‘Now, let’s make up our minds and gain some experience. If it’s not today, it’s an opportunity that will never come again.’
Ganghu ate his appetite, feeling his body completely relaxed and light.
Deseo’s fists are still a threat, but if you can hit them well, you can turn a risk into a great opportunity.
A high risk, high return situation. This was an irresistible temptation.
