◈ 073. [Free Exploration] North of Outer Fortress (2)
Jupiter is running towards the golden gargoyle alone, and the rest of the party is frozen in embarrassment at the sudden situation.
I exclaimed urgently.
“Hey, Jupiter! What are you doing! hey!”
“… … .”
“Jupiter! Come back right now, Jupiter!”
It was then.
“… … Gold.”
Jupiter shouted, saliva pouring from his mouth.
“It’s golden!”
… … what?
I stared at the gargoyle in disbelief.
twinkle.
A golden gargoyle is scattering dazzling gold in all directions.
“… … No, wait.”
Could it be that the golden light attribute exploded after seeing that?!
“Are you crazy, Grandma-?!”
But regardless of my shouts, Jupiter was already running right in front of the boss gargoyle.
At Jupiter, the golden gargoyle slowly raised the weapon in its hand.
It’s a terrifyingly large mace… … .
“I’m going crazy, really!”
Grabbing my hair, I hurriedly ordered Lucas and Evangeline.
“Run, boys! I can’t let that old woman die here!”
“I understand, lord!”
“Wizard grandmother! Wake up!”
The two knights jumped forward like bullets. I turned to Damian.
“It’s not easy going this time, Damian! Take out the horse gun!”
Before I could even speak, Damian had already taken out the Black Queen and was aiming.
Jupiter is already right in front of the gargoyles.
《The centurion 20 years ago, the centurion 10 years ago… … .》
A hum came from the golden gargoyle’s face.
“Are you saying I’m going to be a centurion for the rest of my life?”
Booung-!
Right after that, the mace in the golden gargoyle’s hand fell down.
Lucas and Evangeline are still at a distance.
Although Damian could attack the gargoyle directly,
‘Even if I get one kill with a sniper, Jupiter will die if I’m wrong!’
It’s true that the Black Queen is an incredibly strong bamboo spear, but it’s impossible to kill the sturdy gargoyle boss with one shot.
Even if you kill him, the mace that has already fallen on Jupiter’s head will not disappear.
I clicked my tongue. Can not help it!
“Damian, shoot his weapon!”
“yes!”
Damian immediately corrected his aim and pulled the trigger.
Bang-!
The muzzle fired with an ignorant roar. Damian couldn’t stand his recoil and rolled backwards.
Kakang!
The flying magic bullet struck the side of the mace.
However, Mace’s trajectory was only slightly distorted, and it was still falling on Jupiter’s head.
Bang! Bang-!
At that time, even in the state of being knocked back, Damian continued to fire the horse gun.
kang! Caang-!
After two more hits, the mace, which had gone off track, landed right next to Jupiter.
Quagmire!
As the huge mace slammed the floor, there was an explosion of dust.
“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?!”
Jupiter stomped on the floor with a sultry scream that was inappropriate for his age. Alas, Grandma… … .
“Oh my gosh, what am I doing here… … ?”
“Sir Jupiter! Retreat!”
Jupiter, who couldn’t come to his senses, was supported by Lucas and ran back.
Evangeline raised her shield in the front line and squealed.
“Hey, twinkle golden dung fly! look at me!”
Common passive skill of shield knights, [Roar of the battlefield].
The effect is a buff to allies in the area of provocation of enemies!
The eyes of the golden gargoyle, which was about to land a second blow at the fleeing Jupiter, jerked sideways.
A huge mace landed on Evangeline’s head in an instant.
Kwaaang-!
After receiving the attack, Evangeline’s shield glowed dazzlingly.
“Queueek!”

It made a strange sound, but somehow Evangeline endured it. Well done!
Then Jupiter returned to me. I gnashed my teeth at this damn wizard.
“Jupiter… … !”
“I have no face, Your Highness… … .”
“You’re not going to come to your senses, really?! What are you doing when your name is the best!”
Jupiter was always brazen, but this time he lowered his head as if he was really sorry.
“The old one’s mistake put everyone in danger.”
“It’s good that you know, man!”
That bastard’s golden light trait, how should I find a solution!
‘In the game, it only exploded in the box, but in reality it is triggered in absurd places.’
I scanned the glittering golden gargoyle with my eyes.
This kind of jewel monster will come out often, but are you going to make a fuss every time?
“I will join the vanguard!”
After Lucas carried Jupiter to my side, he rushed back toward the golden gargoyle.
He must be trying to help Evangeline, who is slowly getting out of her power.
Jupiter hastily stretched out his hand.
“I’m going to kill him right now… … Ugh!”
The current that was about to gather at Jupiter’s fingertips soon disappeared powerlessly.
Jupiter repeatedly tried to gather mana, but it didn’t work properly, probably because of the aftermath of his injury.
I waved my hand at Jupiter who kept trying.
“It’s okay, don’t overdo it and start recovering.”
“Kuh, you’re losing face a lot today… … .”
“Since when did you ask for face in front of us?”
I looked around.
Lucas and Evangeline take turns repelling the Golden Gargoyle’s attacks.
Since it is a boss with high physical defense in the first place, it is unreasonable to expect an attack from these two.
Jupiter’s taste is gone and he’s going through it.
Damien is… … The complexion is pale.
He fired 3 consecutive shots with his less-recovered clairvoyance, and took the Black Queen’s enormous recoil with brute force. it would taste like death
“I am… … I’ll finish! Cool!”
Still, I waved my hand at Damian, who was trying to straighten his posture and aim the horse gun.
“It’s okay, get out of here.”
“yes? But then… … .”
“Because the prince has to test a new product. Wait a minute.”
Pushing Damian back, I took out a short magic wand from my bosom.
SSR grade staff, Maestro.
This is a good opportunity to test the guy we picked this time.
“Maestro, open.”
When I uttered the starting language, I felt as if the staff was sucking magic power from my body.
Subsequently, light blue magical particles gathered in front of the staff I raised, and three magical blades were created.
A thin, pointed sword shape. It was a magical blade that was blue and transparent, as if it were crafted from glass.
‘I think I used half of my MP, but only three bags came out… … .’
As the magic drained from his body, he felt a prickly sensation. Come to think of it, it seems like it’s the first time since I came to this world that I’ve consumed mana?
“Let’s see… … Are you writing this?”
Imagining in my head the movement of the magic blade, I lightly swung my staff forward.
Poof! Whiririk!
Three swords made of magic flew in like dancing.
“Ohh.”
After moving it a few times, I was able to intuitively notice the principle of movement.
Basically, if you concentrate in your head, you can control the magical blade.
If you move the staff in that direction together, the accuracy will increase.
Jupiter and Damian were staring at me with wide eyes.
“His Highness… … Every time I see you, you always bring a new and mysterious method.”
“I’m a bit of a hwasubun kind of guy.”
I smiled.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to show off?”
Damian nodded vigorously. cute
I jerked my wand forward. The training is over, and it’s time to test your actual power.
Wedge liquid!
Three blades of magic were fired forward.
The three magical blades thrown while spinning round and round rushed at the golden gargoyle,
Tuhak-!
Hit the gargoyle’s left shoulder.
He destroyed the link of the golden armor on his left arm, and the armor on his left arm fell into pieces as it was.
“Are you okay?”
I turned my staff and retrieved the magic blade.
The magical blades that quickly returned lined up behind my back.
“Hwiyu!”
A whistle came out without my knowledge.
The control is clunky because I haven’t mastered it yet, but the power is sure.
‘At least I’ll be able to deal more stably than Lucky Strike.’
Like a conductor directing an orchestra, I quickly swung the magic wand in my hand.
According to the movement, magic blades sway.
Tuhak! Tuhak! Tuhak-!
The three swords of magical power continuously cut through the air, leaving scratches all over the golden gargoyle’s body.
Since it was a gargoyle with low magic resistance, whenever the magical blade brushed against it, the golden armor was helplessly destroyed.
When the armor came off, the relatively low durability of the body was revealed, and Lucas’s sword and Evangeline’s spear dug in without missing the gap.
“If I had worked at Naeseong, I would have been promoted a long time ago. I got on the wrong line once, and then I rot like this in the outer castle for the rest of my life… … .》
The golden gargoyle is again muttering something incomprehensible to itself.
Why are all the boss monsters in this town talking to themselves? If you’re going to unpack the back settings, can you at least explain it so I can understand it!
Pakkak-!
The blade of magical power hit the golden gargoyle’s armor for the fifth time, and at the same time the seam of the breastplate burst, three blades of my magical power also shattered.
‘Five times. The durability is not high.’
I tried to summon the magic blade once more, but there was no need.
Tsukak! Tsukaak-!
Most of the golden armor had already been destroyed, and Lucas and Evangeline’s attacks continued through the gap.
Lucas’ [Strike of Will] and Evangeline’s [Damage Payback] spread out with flashes of light, and the golden gargoyle’s entire body was torn apart.
《I wish I could get a promotion and try on a nice armor like that statue… … .》
The movement of the golden gargoyle, which wielded the mace until the end with its tattered body, suddenly stopped.
“what is this.”
Then I slowly looked up at the sky,
《The rainwater, why, is it black? … ?》
spoke like that
Flash-!
Lucas’s mighty flash cut off the gargoyle’s head cleanly.
The decapitated gargoyle’s body staggered back and forth before collapsing unsightly on its side.
thud! Kugoogu Palace… … .
The heavy gargoyle’s body slumped to the ground, blowing a thick cloud of dust in all directions.
Lucas, who had carefully checked the situation in front of the gargoyle until the end, turned to me. And he nodded his head broadly.
“It’s done!”
“Whoa… … .”
I let out a sigh of relief.
Then, he gestured to Jupiter, who was standing next to him with his head down.
“Jupiter, write in words when you return.”
“Yes… … .”
“And return a week’s worth of your salary from your annual salary. Put it into the city development fund.”
“Eek! Your Highness, that’s too… … .”
When I opened my eyes to Jupiter who was trying to say something, Jupiter immediately lowered his head.
“This is a very wise move. I will do as you say.”
I didn’t mean to criticize Jupiter too much. It’s a mistake, because everyone makes it.
But if the mistake is repeated in the future, it must be punished.
As the head of a group, rewards and punishments must be strict. Even if the target is a noble magician.
“… … Jupiter. I don’t know why you go crazy when you see shiny things.”
I said softly to Jupiter.
“Before you were a mercenary who lived and died on money, weren’t you an honorable soldier of the Everblack Empire?”
“… … .”
“Before the worldly desires in front of you, I want you to think of the pride that remains within you first.”
The attribute ‘Golden Ore’ is an attribute that cannot be removed, so it cannot be artificially modified, and it is not a status ailment that can be prevented with my passive [Indomitable Commander].
In the end, I have no choice but to hope that Jupiter will resist on its own.
Jupiter looked down at his gloved hands.
“… … On the way to the prosperous youth, the old man may not be a help, but he should not be a burden.”
Jupiter looked at me with a somewhat spleen expression.
“If something like this happens again in the future, I will take responsibility with my life.”
“No, even my life… … .”
“Then I will take responsibility with my life-like money.”
“Oh, how much?”
“As much as the weekly wage… … ?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
After looking at this old lady for a while, I smiled bitterly and nodded.
“let’s go.”
Lucas and Evangeline were retrieving the loot from the fallen golden gargoyle.
“Because that armor is quite expensive. I need to take some off.”
“I was waiting for that word!”
As soon as my words ran out, Jupiter hurriedly ran towards the golden gargoyle. hey! Are you reflecting on that?!
