◈ 086. [STAGE 4] Storm (3)
The tactic is simple.
If Lucas and Evangeline are wasting time in the line, Damian and I will deal with them.
The overwhelming specs of the two SSR-class knights. And Damien’s insane attack power.
It was a defensive battle tactic devised with faith in this.
However, I didn’t believe this.
A variable called me.
Just in case of an emergency, just like in Stage 3 this time. I planned to carry it myself, releasing all the hidden tricks.
however.
“… … oh my god.”
There was no need for that.
The three party members I buffed were really rampaging like monsters.
Taat-!
First Lucas.
Using her 2nd skill [Step of Tenacity], she is sweeping the battlefield almost as if flying.
Instead of giving overwhelming mobility, it is a skill that eats up quite a bit of MP.
I ate a half MP reduction buff, and I’m just using it like breathing.
It’s on the other side of the castle wall, and when I close my eyes and open it, it’s on the other end. If you close and open it again, it is on the other side again. Literally, it’s a lightning bolt.
It attracts the attention of the monsters with its agile movements, and is effectively driving mobs.
Because he’s like that, he’s like a real evasion tank.
“Huh!”
Same with Evangeline.
It is already strong, but after receiving the defense buff, it became almost as hard as a tank.
“Hey, you born statue children! look at me-!”
The approaching gargoyles rushed all at once to Evangeline’s shouts of provocation.
They wielded the vicious weapons in their hands, but Evangeline took them all with her shield without batting an eye.
And while the two were dragging the gargoyles like this,
Bang! Bang! Tuquaang-!
It pours.
Matan’s rain.
Damian received an unlimited stamina buff for 3 minutes.
And he was proving with his whole body why this buff is the best.
The horse gun is powerful, but it is impossible to use it continuously because you have to take the recoil with your body every time you fire a shot.
This is why it is difficult to deal with many enemies even if Damian’s sniping is strong.
But for three minutes now,
Bang-!
Tuquaang-!
Using unlimited stamina, it is possible to fire continuously without difficulty while receiving enormous recoil.
The ‘Black Queen’ breathes fire, uses the recoil to rotate her body half a turn, and picks up the ‘Hunter’s Retribution’ lying on the floor.
and fire again. body rotates. repeat.
The two long guns spewed sparks incessantly.
The heads of the gargoyles were precisely blown off, their necks pierced, and their upper bodies ripped off.
‘Because Damian’s weak physical strength is offset by the buff, such a formidable human weapon is born.’
I broke out in a cold sweat watching Damian from the side shooting a gun as if dancing round and round.
From now on, I will have to do physical training every day. The kid has become a different character.
‘Anyway, is this much better than I thought?’
I looked down at the maestro in my hand.
In the game, no matter how good the buff is, it only lasts for one turn, and it’s random, so it didn’t feel like a scam.
Even here in real life, I thought it was only a 3-minute buff item.
However, if those 3 people are the winners, you can see a huge effect beyond my thoughts.
After all, you have to use it in real life to know the real effect.
It was then.
click. click.
“uh?”
Damian, who had been spewing bullets relentlessly, let out a dazed sound.
I looked to see what was going on, oops. The two long guns ran out of ammunition.
He had never fired bullets in such a short amount of time, and besides, Damian himself was in a kind of trance.
The xanthan count was not counted.
However, the number of gargoyles wiped out in the meantime is staggering.
More than 30 gargoyles fell dead with just two long guns.
If only the remaining guys are defeated, their three formations will be over.
“Lily!”
While Damian put down his two long guns and counted the ammunition from the next one, I called Lily.
“It’s time to get back to work!”
Lily’s face was reluctant, but she responded faithfully.
He raised his hands above his head and started casting magic.
I looked towards the end of the wall. Lucas is running like a bullfight with dozens of gargoyles.
“Lucas! Guide them this way!”

“Yes, lord!”
Hearing my cry, Lucas immediately dragged them this way and started running.
I created and flew only one magical sword in the path of Lucas.
widely!
The magic blade that flew while spinning was stuck on the floor.
In short, it is coordinate designation.
“Lily, shoot over there!”
“Ahhhhh-!”
Instead of answering, Lily raised a huge ball of flame above her head.
It’s hot just to see it burning.
“Because of you monsters- I can’t retire!”
Huge fireballs were fired along with Lily’s hysterical chants (?).
The first skill Lily learned last time, [Fire Cannon]!
Lucas ran in a straight line, then used [Step of Tenacity] and left the spot.
Above the heads of the gargoyles who were stupidly running after Lucas—a harness of sparks was thrust down precisely.
Kwagwagwang-!
A shockwave spread along with a fiery explosion.
As befits those with low magic resistance, the dozen or so gargoyles that were directly hit by the flame magic all melted to death while dripping with molten iron.
“Hehe… … . hehe… … .”
Lily is also struggling and is about to die. She is like a flame mage with poor magic fuel economy.
No, even if that’s the case, does one skill drain all of its mana at once? The power was great.
“hey! Leftovers! Irion, let’s play with your sister!”
The last remnants of gargoyles left here and there were collected by Evangeline with her taunt skill.
Anyway, sister, you… … ?
The moment the gathered gargoyles raised their weapons at Evangeline, Damian shouted.
“Miss Evangeline! Raise your shield up!”
In Damian’s hand was an N-rank horse gun and a woodpecker.
It is a horse gun that became a barrage form due to a mistake in the manufacturing process.
Evangeline, who lowered her stance, raised her shield upward, and Damian fired a horse gun at the shield.
Too-ta-ta-ta-!
Dozens of magic bullets poured out from the magic gun in an instant.
Evangeline received it with her shield, and the magic bullets ricocheted along the slope of the shield bounced ferociously in all directions.
puck! Bubbeobbubuck… … !
And all of those magic bullets were pinned right into the gargoyle’s eyes or forehead. I opened my mouth wide.
‘No way, did you calculate the trajectory of the bullet bouncing off the shield? Dozens of feet?’
It sounds like crazy nonsense, but Damian has [Clairsight].
Considering the miraculous aiming skills he has shown so far, he must have really aimed and shot everything, not over.
Creepy?!
Clara… … !
Amidst the screaming monsters, the light that gathered on Evangeline’s shield moved to the lance.
Evangeline’s [Damage Save] saves the received damage.
In short, physical damage is stored when receiving physical damage, and magic damage is stored when receiving magical damage.
In other words, all the damage stored after receiving dozens of magic bullets is magical.
Tuquaak-!
The cavalry spear rose upward, and [Damage Payback], which stored magic damage, exploded.
The intangible energy burst from the tip of Evangeline’s spear shattered the last gargoyles.
Evangeline laughed coolly among the gargoyle fragments bouncing in all directions like fireworks.
“Whoa, I just got sick, Mr. Sniper! Try again later!”
“Haha, it consumes too much ammo to do it often… … .”
Not only the ammunition consumption, but also the stamina consumption seems to be enormous.
Damian’s complexion was visibly paler, probably because he had just performed a trick after the buff I gave him was over.
Evangeline also fought with the defense buff turned off at the end, but she didn’t hide her regret, as if the experience was great.
“Senior’s… … That, the hawk of love? The effect is good, but the duration is too short. Can’t it be longer?”
“Unfortunately, only once a day, for a short time. Even if the original stimulation feels good, it becomes dull when repeated.”
“Cumbersome and perverted… … .”
Lucas looked at something and saw that he was slicing the throats of gargoyles who were still breathing and crawling with his sword.
“To cut down even a monster made of steel, you are amazing. hey.”
“It feels like cutting rather than cutting, but even if you use the skill, the weapon wears out.”
Returning to me, Lucas showed me his longsword.
It’s the R-rank longsword ‘Rat Cutter’ I gave you before. The blades, which were like saw blades, are all damaged.
“They are definitely strong guys. Unless it’s in a weakened state, the sword won’t stick.”
“Anyway, I annihilated the third generation much more easily than I thought.”
I looked around at the party members and grinned.
“As expected, they are like my elite. Good job!”
All the party members smiled at my praise.
At the same time,
“Artifact cooldown complete! Maneuverable!”
Lily’s cry was heard.
Perhaps it was because of one big magic blow, his voice was drained of strength. Still, the content is hopeful.
“Activate the artifact!”
“It activates!”
Aaaah-!
Again, a gust of wind began to blow through the center of the wall.
The 4th gargoyle, which flew in after the 3rd, was swept away by a gust of wind, and began to fall similarly to the ones before them.
It’s fortunate that I got through the third jin more easily than I thought. Anyway, there was consumption.
“There are almost no leftovers now, Prince.”
Damian said carefully.
Damian’s two long guns, ‘Black Queen’ and ‘Hunter’s Retribution’, were completely scratched to the bottom, and the short gun, ‘Woodpecker’, was also almost finished.
All that remains is the Cerberus, three pistols. However, the damage is low and the effective range is much shorter.
I checked the status of the other party members as well.
Lucas’s sword is worn out, and Evangeline’s shield is also tattered.
Lily is still weak and panting.
‘I still have something in reserve.’
It can be said that the main party has done enough for this. It’s time to reorganize.
I looked back and cried.
“Shadow troops!”
As if they had waited, 5 members of the shadow unit came forward and bowed their heads to me.
“Please tell me.”
“Switch. Stop them like our main party did. I will join you if it is necessary.”
“Rest in peace, Your Highness.”
The leader of the shadow unit, God Hand, spoke confidently in a calm voice.
“I won’t have to join you.”
Boy and girl elves wearing hoods and covering their faces with hoods.
The 5 shadow troops stood at the forefront of the castle wall with nimble movements.
Each member of the main party had a different view of such a sub-party.
“Is it really okay… … .”
Lucas put on a worried expression.
“I can finally see it with my own two eyes, the skills of the Aegis task force.”
Evangeline had a face of anticipation.
“… … .”
Lily was glaring at God Hand’s back with her brow furrowed.
“uh… … um, something… … .”
Finally, Damian, who had no idea what was going on, blinked in embarrassment at the air currents between the main party and the sub party.
“Is it something I don’t have to know about?”
“then.”
I stroked the head of such an innocent sniper.
“It’s something we’ll see more often in the future.”
New sub parties will continue to be recruited in the future.
In fact, it’s only natural that there’s a fight between the old members and the new members.
Wouldn’t it be even more strange if we got close and harmonized right away without going through this process?
‘Make us acknowledge you, Shadow Squad! Show me your skills!’
thud! thud! Kugu Palace!
The 4 gargoyles that broke through the wall of wind began to land at the end of the wall.
And in front of them, five elven child soldiers fluttered their uniform coats—each drawing his or her weapon.
