◈ 087. [STAGE 4] Sub Party
The composition of the sub-party ‘Shadow Troop’ is extreme.
2 wizards. 3 archers.
It’s a combination you’d never try in a game. It’s a combination that is too extreme for firepower projection.
Without a tank or healer, it was a combination that would kill you if exposed to the enemy.
But if those mages are both utility supporters and not pure dealers.
If there is a function to protect and assist allies.
This combination makes it feasible.
‘furthermore… … .’
I glanced at the system window.
[Active Party Synergy]
> (Wizard 2) Double Mage: Increases the magic attack power of all party members by 20%.
> (Archer 3) Mozambique Drill: Increases the critical rate of all party members by 30%.
An overwhelming deal buff that can be obtained because of an extreme job combination.
If this party is running really well, it won’t be much of a chore to hit enemies with firepower.
God Hand, who was in the lead, gave a brief command to his subordinates.
“I’m going to the formation for the battle against the monster.”
God Hand raised his hand over the corpses of the gargoyles on the floor.
“I form the line of defense.”
Charleureuk!
The body of the steel gargoyle touched by God Hand melted in an instant and turned into a barrier installed on the floor.
In an instant, three layers of steel barriers about 1m in height sprouted on the floor.
Because he is a metal magician, the metal that God Hand touches can be transformed at will.
“Body bag, take charge of enemy blocking and targeting in mid-heat.”
“yes!”
“The other three… … .”
God Hand simply ordered.
“Shoot.”
The other three party members—Old Girl, Skull, and Burnout—nodded in unison.
Old Girl uses a double-handed crossbow, Skull uses a large bow the size of her body, and Burnout… … .
Clap! Cheeks, slaps!
It looks five times bigger than its own body… … He was setting up a huge buildable ballista.
It appears to be twice the size of a normal ballista.
No, it’s more like a wagon than a ballista. That’s an archer’s equipment.
Krrr… … !
Clara!
The gargoyles that had landed at the end of the wall let out ferocious screams.
Normal children would be nervous, but the 5 members of the shadow unit were calm.
The jjambab that I ate on the spot is not going anywhere.
Push! Push-!
Three archers shot arrows at the same time at the lead gargoyle running across the wall.
Ting! teeting!
But all of them bounced out.
The gargoyle’s hard body made it difficult for ordinary arrows to even scratch it.
“It doesn’t work either.”
God Hand waved his hand.
“Permission to use skill. Skull, medium range. Old girl, close range. Burnout, to the fullest extent. practice.”
“practice.”
“Okay~!”
“… … .”
Each of the three archers responded, and first, Skull pulled his longbow with all his might.
Chow ah-
The magic light shone on the tip of the arrow caught in the string, and the arrow was shot at once.
Pucak-!
The arrow imbued with blue magic pierced the center of the head of the leading gargoyle.
Accurate headshot.
The power is also powerful, but the aim is quite accurate.
‘Is that why the code name is Skull?’
While Skull was tying the next arrow to the strings, the gargoyles behind him quickly approached.
thud! thud! Kugoong!
Old Girl stepped on top of the barrier and ran toward the gargoyles, who were advancing while breaking the barrier God Hand had installed.
“I’ll test how strong these guys are!”
Bolts poured out like shotguns from the two crossbows in Old Girl’s hands.
F*ck!
A bundle of bolts fired while scattering magic light turned the upper body of the gargoyle into a mop.
However, the gargoyle’s eyes flashed and survived without collapsing. Although it has stopping power, it does not seem to have received a critical hit.
“Oh, it’s pretty strong. Am I the limit?”
The babbling old girl looked back and shouted.

“Then there is nothing you can do! Burnout! Please!”
Then, Burnout, who was aiming in front of the assembled ballista, opened his mouth for the first time.
“Get down, everyone.”
Bang-!
In the next moment, hundreds of arrows were fired from the ballista at once.
It was a vicious device that fired arrows at the same time, just like a real singijeon. Whoa.
Quagmire!
The arrows that fell like a bombardment exploded as soon as they touched the gargoyle’s body.
The gargoyles, swept away by the rain of arrows, could not even scream and were shattered.
This is Burnout’s passive skill. Adding explosive magic properties to projectiles fired by oneself.
This is also why I took notice of burnout in the first place.
‘If you raise it well, you can optimize it for hunting trash mobs!’
pop! squirm… … .
Patter… … !
Shards of gargoyles smashed by the carpet bombing sprang up in all directions.
In the meantime, the few gargoyles who were not swept away somehow tried to approach the archers.
snap!
Bodybag, a telekinetic sorceress, magically snatched those gargoyles from mid-heat, lifted them into the air, and threw them back.
Kwajik! Kwadeuk!
The gargoyles, thrown and swept away by the gust of wind artifacts, fell straight down the castle wall.
Craa!
The last gargoyle of the 4th group charged forward with a roar.
He struck God Hand, who stood between the barriers, at the mace in his hand.
“Suck!”
God Hand, who narrowly avoided the attack by stepping to the side, placed both hands on the gargoyle’s side.
Charleur-!
Immediately after, the side of the gargoyle twisted wildly, and a large hole was opened.
Cra… … iced coffee… … .
The gargoyle, half blown off its upper body, staggered and fell awkwardly to the side.
The gargoyle’s body is made of metal.
As long as God Hand, the metal master, could touch it, it would be possible to one-kill.
Three archers unilaterally project firepower, and two mages block the enemy’s approach with various utility skills.
This was the strategy of the sub-party ‘Shadow Troop’ for fighting against monsters.
The 4 gargoyles were destroyed at once. Damian, who was looking at her with her mouth slightly open, murmured.
“this… … A real archer’s fight, is it… … ?”
Shoot arrows with magical energy, give them explosive properties, and share the lines of fire according to their own range.
It may be an unfamiliar landscape for Damien, who is playing the role of a sniper with only one innate characteristic, without archery training or related skills.
“Incredible. me too… … Learning sniper-related skills would be more helpful to Prince… … .”
I pat on Damian’s shoulder as he murmurs! hit
“Where is the real fake when it comes to killing monsters? Everyone is doing their best in the way they can.”
I smiled.
“You are irreplaceable, Damian. It’s already helping tremendously. Don’t worry about anything.”
“Prince… … .”
No, this is sincere. Because Damian can’t learn archery skills anyway.
It would be more efficient to think about what direction to make your talents bloom as efficiently as possible.
In any case, the Shadow Troops performed a much better defensive battle than expected.
As a result, by the time the third gust artifact started operating, even the 5th group of gargoyles could be wiped out.
Watching the gargoyles falling down like leaves in the autumn wind, the moment I thought that at this rate, I could finish the defense battle with ease.
T-ring!
An ominous system alert sounded in my ears.
“Damn it, what else-“
Blaming myself for my complacency, I opened the system window. what!
[Enemy Information – STAGE 4]
– Lv.35 Gargoyle Chief: 2
– Lv.15 Rock Gargoyle: 58 (Kill Counts: 302)
– Lv.20 Steel Gargoyle: 40 (Kill Counts: 202)
In other words, the enemy’s boss information had been updated.
“uh?”
Immediately after, I felt a sense of wonder.
This is updated only when the enemy boss appears on the field.
But still, I can’t see him anywhere-
“… … !”
The spine was terrified.
I hurriedly looked around and jerked my head upward in a flash of thought.
“Damn it.”
just as expected.
High up in the sky, something… … It was falling down at an inexorable pace.
“Damn it, weeda! stomach!”
I pointed over my head and shouted urgently.
“A boss mob is coming from above! Everyone, prepare-!”
However, the appearance of the boss monster was too sudden, and everyone could not react in time.
In particular, since the sub-party members were fighting monsters on the front line right now, they were more slow to respond.
and,
Wheeaeaeae liquid-
Tuquaaang!
Something descended as if it were crashing over the wall.
In an instant, the entire castle wall shook finely with the impact. The bricks around him shattered and bounced in all directions.
Koo Goong, Koo Goo Goong… … .
It was a huge statue.
Even though it is obviously made of steel, the wriggling body looks like a well-trained muscular body.
On top of the body made of metal, he wears armor made of metal again, wears a helmet, and holds maces of different lengths in each of his four arms.
Krrr… … !
Commander of the Gargoyle Corps.
A boss monster that is so powerful that the gargoyles so far seem to be charming.
“Chieftain Gargoyle… … !”
It fell exactly to the spot where the shadow unit archers were, and the sub-party members who couldn’t avoid it were thrown out in all directions helplessly.
“Heheh?!”
The prefabricated ballista trampled by the Gargoyle Chieftain was shattered without leaving a trace, and Burnout rolled away vomiting blood.
The Skull next to him bounced off without even screaming.
“What, what is this child… … .”
The panicked Old Girl reflexively fired a double-wielded crossbow at the Gargoyle Chieftain. Tuhak!
However, the gargoyle chieftain stretched out his thick arms to block the bolts, and swung his underwater mace at the old girl.
F*ck!
“Aagh!”
Hit on the side by a thick mace, Old Girl bounced off the castle wall like a water swallow. this!
Frightened, Lucas and Evangeline jumped out of their seats and tried to run away.
“I’ll go apply immediately!”
“wait for a sec!”
I hurriedly restrained myself and hurriedly looked up at the sky.
“There is one more!”
“yes?!”
Due to the dark event, there are two boss monsters this time.
That means, the remaining one is also nearby-
Whee ae ae ae-!
“… … !”
eventually found.
Through the dark clouds, I saw the second gargoyle chieftain descending almost at right angles from the sky.
“What he’s after… … .”
After quickly reading the second guy’s trajectory, I immediately figured out where he was aiming.
“Damn it, it’s an artifact!”
It was falling exactly where the Blast Artifacts gathered.
I exclaimed urgently.
“Lily!”
I yelled out loud at Lily.
“Escape there! hurry!”
“yes?”
At the same time as Lily asked in bewilderment,
Quagmire and light!
The second Gargoyle Chieftain, who fell like lightning, smashed the artifacts at once.
“ah… … ?”
Lily, who was right next to him, was thrown up into the air with her entire wheelchair along with the smashed artifact.
At Lily, the Gargoyle Chief raised his mace in his hand with a twinkle in his eyes,
bang-!
To be honest, I took it down.
