“Friend Shield: Domino!”
Labo shouted in excitement.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The rest of the guild members lined up in front of him all had expressions on their faces as if their souls had left them.
Kwaaaaah!
A giant fireball falls from above your head.
It was a fireball the size of a meteor swarm.
A black flame soaked in dark aura was fiercely flickering its tongue, melting everything in the area.
“You want me to block that with my body… …?”
Oldman, standing at the very front, swallowed dry saliva as he watched the fireball approaching right in front of his nose.
‘Friend Shield: Domino’ is a simple technique.
Place Labo at the innermost part, place the Healer Oasis in front of it, and then have the remaining members take the fireballs one by one with their bodies.
In principle, the fireball only hits one enemy at a time, so if you receive it while dying one by one, you can theoretically prevent everyone from retiring.
And if even one person survives, that one person can land the final blow on the Archmage.
That’s Laboin.
“No, that’s the theory! In the end, it just acts as a meat shield!”
“Of course! Now, put up your shield, Oldman! The fireball is coming!”
“This is unreasonable… … Uwaaaaah!”
Oldman quickly put up a shield, and a fireball fell on it.
Kwakwakwakwang!
The Holy Shield that had been spread out earlier evaporated without leaving a trace.
In an instant, the shield’s durability wore out, and Oldman’s HP also rapidly decreased.
“Don’t you know how to respect your elders, you punks! You should put your luggage at the very back!”
I was pouring all my strength into the hill without heels, with Oasis and the Doctor, but I quickly reached my limit.
dump.
The tanned old man finally went down.
Next, Cain.
“Damn it, Nachal!”
Absolute evasion technique!
… … lasts for 3 seconds.
“Just watch this nonsense and see if you can wake up! Keuk!”
3 seconds later, Cain, who was also golden brown, went down.
After that it was Aggle King.
“Hmm… … I think charcoal-grilled chicken would be good for dinner tonight. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside.”
Just after muttering that, the fire ball hit Aggle King’s body.
“Eekta, hehehe!”
The Aggle King, who had no decent defensive skills, was turned into charcoal in just one second.
“This is the least helpful.”
“Shit! Don’t expect too much from the dealer!”
“I’m Dylan too, but I held out longer than you.”
“Oh no! If you keep saying that, I’ll roll the dice!?”
The three who had laid down first were chatting like that.
Next is Rabbit.
“Mirror Welcome!”
The clones summoned by Rabbit and possessing HP were hit by the fireball first.
However, because the original blood vessel was thin, it evaporated in an instant. After that, Rabbit deployed several fields, but they all quickly melted away.
The sad-faced rabbit muttered.
“Even if only the fate distortion cooled down~!”
The charred rabbit also fell to the floor.
Next is the doctor.
“Summon: Witch of Plagues. Summon: Witch of Famine. Summon: Phantom of the Opera.”
The Doctor summoned all the summons he had and none he didn’t have, but they were all dealer-type summons, so they couldn’t last long.
“I can’t help it!”
The doctor, who had taken a potion of heat resistance, received the fireball with his body.
The doctor’s profession, Poison Eater, had ambiguous abilities to heal others, but he was faithful to his self-healing skills.
When Oasis’ Hill and Jahil overlapped, the Doctor surprisingly held out for quite a bit longer than expected.
“I can’t help it!”
… … Eventually, the limit was reached.
The doctor also collapsed next to Rabbit.
“Eek!”
Oasis screamed when it was her turn.
But the fireball had shrunk considerably in the meantime. It might surprisingly be blockable.

“Summon: Bisil!”
Oasis’ summoner, Bisil, jumped out from the summoning circle.
Kwaaaaah!
Flames swirled across the basilisk’s hardened scales, which had high fire resistance.
Bisil desperately held on, curled up, to keep the flames from reaching her master.
Shaaaaak-!
But in the end, it turned out to be well-cooked snake meat.
“It ends up like this!”
Oasis, who had become sad, recast Holy Shield and was hit by the fireball with her body.
“Healing Wave! Slow Heal! Fast Heal! Seraphim Tear! Gospel of Ascension!”
I poured out all the heels I had.
The fireball quickly shrank, and Oasis’ HP was quickly consumed.
Eventually, HP reached its limit.
Oasis closed his eyes tightly.
“oasis.”
At that moment, the owner’s voice was heard from behind.
“It’s a shift.”
“Huh?”
Labo stepped forward, grabbing Oasis’ shoulder and pulling him back.
Kwaaaaah!
Labo took the fireball on his back, and flames swirled across his bloody cloak.
Labo’s own magic defense, which does not have a ‘magic power’ stat, is poor.
However, I was able to somehow endure it by adjusting the Demon King’s stats, increasing the tempo, and utilizing Dark Aura.
‘Huh?’
But it was an unfamiliar sight to Oasis.
That master, would he really take the attack on his behalf…?
“Oasis, Hill.”
“Oh, yes, yep!”
Oasis quickly put heals in both himself and Labo.
“Oasis, listen up. I probably won’t be able to make it to the end.”
Labo, whose HP was slowly being eaten away, spoke quietly.
“But you just have to live.”
“yes……?”
“A healer in party play is a very precious body.”
Labo stroked Oasis’s head in detail.
“Don’t leave the rest to me.”
“Just a moment, Master… … !”
Kwaaaaah!
The flames engulfed the Labo, and before Oasis could do anything, it was down.
But now the fireball had completely shrunk.
This is what the evil Oasis cried out.
“Holy Shield!”
Third Holy Shield, deployed!
And the reduced fireball could not pass through the sacred barrier and finally disappeared.
“Haa, haa… … .”
Oasis, catching her breath, looked around.
An archmage who fell into exhaustion due to the reaction of a giant fireball in the air.
And the six guild members who fell underneath.
You could have just put a finishing attack on the Archmage, but since Oasis is a healer, there were other options.
Oasis raised his staff to the sky and shouted.
“Mass Resurrection-!”
Six rays of light descended from the sky.
Area resurrection magic, Mass Resurrection!
The guild members who had been hit by the beam of light all stood up at once. Although their HP was low, their fighting spirit was high.
“I never thought such a ridiculous operation would succeed… … Heh heh.”
“No, can you call this a strategy? Something that is all soft on the outside and soft on the inside?”
“So what? As long as you wake up, that’s it.”
“It was a wicked, but not a bad order, Mr. Labo.”
“Amazing, boss! As expected, your judgment is amazing!”
Labo, who had been listening to each person’s reaction, looked back at Oasis, who was standing there dumbfounded.
“Well done, Oasis.”
“… … .”
Oasis, who had been groping for a moment, let out a small sigh.
“It’s strange, master.”
“Huh? What?”
“Master, you fell for me… … This is strange.”
Leaving Labo and Oasis behind, the remaining five guild members all jumped towards the Archmage.
It seemed like they were competing with each other to get the last hit.
Labo patted Oasis’ head again.
“Isn’t that reasonable?”
“Reasonable… … you say?”
“Yeah, it made more sense for you to live there if you wanted to win.”
Of course, if we had held out until Oasis went down, and Labo had taken the last turn, we could have won.
But once Labo switched tanking, Oasis gained time to recover and was able to hold out more reliably.
Since he was a healer, he was also able to revive in a wide area.
But Oasis shook its head.
“No, that doesn’t make sense.”
“huh?”
“I was born to serve my master. It is unreasonable for me to achieve victory by sacrificing my master.”
Oasis had been pushed to the brink of death countless times on behalf of Labo, but on the outside, he whined but showed no complaints.
Because it was a natural thing.
But when the tables were turned, Oasis was thrown into chaos.
“… … .”
Labo quietly took off his helmet and stood in front of Oasis. He placed both hands on Oasis’ shoulders and made eye contact.
“Listen carefully, Oasis. From now on, if necessary, I will kill you and let you live. Because this is a game.”
“… … .”
“Even if you give up your queen, you win if you capture the opponent’s king. Even if you give up your big horse, you win if you capture the other side. That’s the game.”
You are not a queen, you are your own king.
In his world, only you are the end. You can never be a means to an end.
Oasis swallowed those words.
“From now on, if you want to win, you have to use me, and sometimes abandon me… … .”
Labo smiled broadly.
“You have to do that, Oasis. Got it?”
“… … .”
Oasis, who had not answered for a long time, raised his head with a determined expression.
“I will become stronger so that that situation does not occur!”
“… … .”
“I will become stronger and stronger, so much so that I won’t even need to use you as a means… …!”
Labo, who had been looking at the oasis with surprised eyes for a moment, burst into laughter.
“Okay, Oasis. I’ll be looking forward to it. How strong you’ll become.”
“yes……!”
Oasis pursed her lips and steeled her resolve.
At that moment the bell rang.
Kwaaaaah-!
Look over there, the guild members’ final attacks were pouring down on the archmage.
A fallen archmage who meets his end while screaming.
“Very, very good indeed, mortal! But this is all for now!”
The man’s voice flowing from the young girl’s lips gradually became fainter, but it contained dark malice.
“The last warrior, the Sword King, is completely under my control! Hahahaha! Walk into the abyss! I’ll see you there… …!”
After saying that, the archmage’s body fell limply to the floor.
thud!
Boss Monster: Defeated the Fallen Archmage!
Achievement – Death Will Set You Free II
> Defeat the second boss of Muganok (1/1)
Achievements – Hero Slayer II
> Defeat the ‘Fallen Archmage’ for the first time on the server (1/1)
The achievement was printed along with a boss kill message.
The party went towards the fallen archmage.
Kyrie Eleison, the Archmage who had been freed from corruption, muttered with empty eyes.
“Ahh… … It’s dark and cold… … .”
The archmage lifted his small, bloody hand and felt around.
“Edencha, Cadmus… … Where are you? Don’t leave me alone… … .”
The oasis that approached her quietly took her hand.
A look of relief crossed the Archmage’s face. The Archmage held Oasis’ hand tightly and muttered softly.
“It’s cold… … Put some firewood in the stove… … .”
That was the will.
The light in the archmage’s eyes faded.
And then it never turned on again.
“… … But, every time I see them die, I think about this.”
In the face of the death of the greatest wizard in the Wings Online world, the story appreciation group was immersed in sorrow, but Uggle King spoke again.
“Anyway, when you go out of the dungeon and come back in, you’ll be alive again. Why are you making the atmosphere so sad?”
“… … .”
The boss will respawn no matter what his ending is.
What can we do about the fact that that is an inherent limitation of online games?
The sentimentalist glared at the story skipper, who was extremely bleak.
But Aggle King just shrugged his shoulders as if he really didn’t understand.
