◈ 202. [STAGE 8] Stranger Country
The dark events of this stage are as follows.
[Activated Dark Event: Boss Enhancement I]
> One random strengthening attribute is given to the boss monster.
So, you won’t know what kind of enhancement traits are given until you meet them.
In addition, it is not yet confirmed which of the monsters in the slime corps is the boss.
‘Slime guys are pretty diverse too… … .’
Who would win as the boss monster? Slime King? Slime General? Slime Abomination?
Still, in the current situation, I think it will be dealt with in a dizzying way… … .
thud.
“?”
thud.
“hmm?”
… … I think I’m hearing something ominous.
thud-!
An unidentified heavy roar echoed continuously from the end of the right wall. Me, the heroes, and the soldiers all looked in that direction.
I can’t see anything.
Kugoong!
However, an invisible ‘something’ is climbing up the wall.
The iron plate on the right side of the castle wall is being crushed as if being crushed by a huge weight. what is this… … ?
‘Among the slime monsters, none have the ability to become transparent, right?’
If so, could it be that the boss monster was given ‘stealth’ due to the dark event enhancement?
“Damian! Can you see that?”
I urgently called Damian, but Damian also frowned and only drooled.
“Oh, no. I can’t even catch it with my eyes. I know there is something… … .”
You mean you can’t understand it even with the [Clairvoyant]? Just how high level of stealth are you?
I can’t let go of it though. I ordered urgently.
“For now, shoot over there!”
Damian immediately drew the Black Queen and aimed at something invisible.
“The tip of my gun is shining… … The trigger judges.”
No, the second middle school comment is over, shoot it quickly!
Tuquaang-!
The magic bullets fired from the Black Queen’s muzzle tore through space and rushed. Matan hit the ‘something’ that was coming up the right wall.
f*ck!
Then, the concealment of that invisible ‘something’ was released, and its identity was revealed.
boooooo!
it’s huge… … It was indeed a gigantic slime.
Hundreds and thousands of colors are swirling around in a huge streamlined body of slime. A slime about the size of a hill.
A golden crown made of magic slowly rotated on top of its huge body.
‘A giant slime wearing a golden crown?’
I gaped.
“This, this monster bastard… … !”
[Enemy Information – STAGE 8]
– Lv.35 Slime Emperor <Enhanced Stealth>: 1
– Lv.30 Acidic Slime: 26
– Lv.25 Three Color Slime: 33
“It’s the Slime Emperor… … ?!”
It is the highest tier monster among all slime-type monsters that I have never seen while playing <Defend the Empire>!
‘Anyway, you gave this guy the stealth attribute as a dark event? Aren’t you crazy?!’
Besides, no matter how much stealth is granted, if it’s a normal slime monster, it’s normal to come with allies.
Because he was granted stealth, while all his subordinates were killed, he kept secret and maneuvered stealthily, bypassed the battlefield, and climbed the wall?
Is this something slime-type monsters can do?
“It’s so damn good, Sipal!”
Booooooo!
With a sound similar to the roar of an elephant, the Slime Emperor jumped up the wall.
I screamed to break my throat.
“Artillery! All retreat-!”
Quagmire!
Smashing all the cannons placed on the right side of the wall, the Slime Emperor stood on top of the wall.
The gunners screamed in unison and began to flee inside the walls.
A cold sweat ran down my back from embarrassment at the unexpected situation, but there is still a way.
“Lily! Use [start over!]!”
“yes!”
At my instruction, the Artifact Team alchemists whimpered and took out a metal plate the size of a human upper body.
After the end of Stage 5, it is the SSR grade water-based artifact obtained from the box can, [Start from scratch!].
If you shine your enemies inside this huge golden metal plate, you can force them to teleport to the starting point of the wave.
Although limited to once per stage, it is an extremely useful artifact in certain situations. Same situation right now!
“Artifact, activate!”

The alchemists aimed at the slime emperor with a metal plate and activated the artifact.
Whoa-!
The metal plate glowed white. ‘Click!’ It will catch the opponent’s monster with a sound and blow it to the starting point of the wave.
But at that moment
Gulleong!
Slime Emperor’s body shuddered like water droplets, and small slimes vomited out of it.
It was the Slime Emperor’s power, Slime Summon.
Small slimes shot like a shot put rained down on the Artifact team,
click-!
[Again from the beginning!]’s view was completely blocked.
The small group of slimes that were swept away by the artifact were forced teleported at once and flew to the starting point of the wave- but the slime emperor remained there without any incident.
I gritted my teeth.
can’t do anything must die here.
“Jayen-jaaaaang!”
Unreasonable game difficulty.
Among the dark event enhancement attributes, I myself did not think of stealth.
And, the monster bastard right in front of you.
After swearing at all three of them, I stretched out my hand.
“The number of people capable of hand-to-hand combat, come out with blunt weapons and shields! No matter what happens, stop him on the wall!”
Already, Evangeline and Lucas are running forward.
After giving instructions to hold him down with full force capable of hand-to-hand combat, I saw the wizards.
“Let me tell you first. Slime Emperor is virtually immune to elemental magic.”
Slime Emperor has all the characteristics of all types of slimes in one body.
In other words, fire, water, thunderbolt, wind, and ice possessed by other attribute slimes… … It has all of the properties, etc.
If you hit it with attribute magic, it changes the attribute granted to you each time and halves the damage.
Non-attribute magic, or light or dark attribute magic, is at least effective, but there is no magician like that in this place.
At this rate, the strongest dealers, mages, could not play any role and had to watch.
And that’s why there’s not enough damage to kill him.
can’t let it go like that
“Junior. Get ready to use the ultimate skill [Dismantle Element].”
If it was a junior’s ultimate skill that gnaws the target’s magic stat down to minus, it would be possible to ignore how the attribute changed and apply magic damage.
Junior’s ultimate skill changes Slime Emperor’s magic stats, and Reina’s powerful wind magic ends it.
This was the way I thought I would finish him off.
Then Junior answered with a confused expression.
“This is really embarrassing, but Your Highness… … It’s a bit overworked with magic burst just now, so it will take some time to recover.”
Junior’s complexion is pale. I am not feeling well, but it seems that I am in an excessive condition. But it’s not that there’s no way.
“Raina, help Junior.”
At my words, both wizards gave a disgusted expression. But I put a bluff with a stern face.
“Don’t talk nonsense, do as you say. Can’t you see the situation? Enemy boss monsters are on top of the castle wall. If we don’t stop here, this city is doomed!”
On the other side of the wall, hand-to-hand combat had already begun.
boooooo!
Long tentacles stretched out from the Slime Emperor’s gigantic body and swung at humans.
I saw the swept away shield soldiers screaming and falling.
“Junior, cast magic as quickly as possible. While recovering mana with the essence collected in the staff. got it?”
“… … I understand, Your Highness.”
“Raina. Support Junior with all your might. And when the support ends and Junior uses [Dissolve Elements], don’t delay and attack the Slime Emperor.”
Reina asked with a face that she couldn’t understand.
“What is this kid’s magic that allows him to break through the monster’s thick magic defense?”
“You see for yourself.”
Reina reluctantly put her hand on Junior’s shoulder and helped cast a spell. Other wizards belonging to Reina’s party also assisted.
“Whoa… … going!”
Whoa!
Junior started preparing for [Dismantle Element].
It’s a time-consuming magic, so you have to stop the Slime Emperor in the meantime.
“Damian!”
I called a sniper.
“Can you see its spirit core?”
Damian, who was aiming at the Slime Emperor with his gun, muttered in a trembling voice.
“No, Prince. I can’t even see his spirit core. no… … There are too many spiritual nuclei. Almost the entire body is filled with spiritual nuclei. where to aim… … .”
Slime Emperor is a monster that is a collection of thousands of slimes merged into a single entity.
There are not many points to aim for as Damian, who specializes in sniping individual spirit cores.
However, other roles can be assigned.
“Damian. Your role today is not to kill him. It is to save the life of an ally.”
“yes?”
“Looking at the battle situation, if your allies are in danger of being attacked by that monster, fire a sniper to stop it. Can you do it, Damian?”
Damian, who was looking at me with a confused face, eventually nodded his head with a smile on his face.
“Keuk… … I like it. I will try.”
He still couldn’t get used to that pretentious smile, but Damian seemed more comfortable when he was given the role of protecting allies rather than killing enemies. This natural born healer child… … .
Besides that, after giving various instructions to the back row members such as Lily and Marherita, I hurriedly joined the front row.
bang! Kwakwawang!
Above the ramparts, the man-made defenses barely held out.
“mister! Bottom right!”
“Know! You block the top left!”
Evangeline and Lucas, each holding a shield, were in the forefront, receiving the Slime Emperor’s attack.
The regular soldiers standing right behind them also formed a square with their shields in order, and at the same time, three or four of them received the Slime Emperor’s tentacle attack with their shields.
“Aww!”
“Heuk!”
Every time I fell backwards, I was able to maintain the defense line without being pushed back.
“The wizards are preparing a spell to kill him! Hold on until then!”
I encouraged my allies and commanded the defense line.
I wanted to keep the defense line like that for a while.
“Aww! It stings!”
“Keugh… … !”
Evangeline and Lucas’ bodies suffered from minor injuries.
The Slime Emperor’s tentacles were so numerous that they couldn’t be stopped, so Evangeline and Lucas each wielded a hammer and mace. Each time, acidic liquid splashed out.
“Heh heh!”
“Aaaagh!”
Ordinary soldiers also showed limitations in continuing to hold out.
It was several times that everyone got the tentacles and fell out, and when it was repeated, everyone was having a hard time.
bang! Quaang!
As the battle continued, the only regular soldiers who did not retreat were 50 reinforcements sent by the emperor.
Indeed, like the elites sent by the emperor, they raised their shields in perfect order and received the Slime Emperor’s attack.
But even on their faces, a weary light began to appear.
‘How much longer can I hold out like this… … .’
Watching the battle situation, I sharpen my teeth,
flinch. flinch.
Among the defense units, I saw guys who kept trying to fall back.
A new penal unit.
The buttocks of the ragtag bandits kept pulling back. And the burden on other defense units was getting worse.
“These bastards… … !”
Running behind the penal unit, I shouted out loud.
“What one! Don’t fall back! Hold the line of defense!”
“Ha, but… … .”
The bandits looked back at me with pale faces.
“Mu, mu, scary words.”
“what?”
“I don’t want to die from monsters like that on the front lines in other countries!”
other country… … ?
At a loss for words, I stared blankly.
boooooo!
The slime emperor’s tentacles were falling one after another on our heads.
