Episode 267 Introduction to Geography (1)
Their gazes cross.
Jinhyuk retracted his molars.
In order to achieve the copy conditions, you will have to use only ‘curse’ and ‘barrier’.
From now on, we must fight in a slightly different way than before.
But right then.
The Weeping Witch’s gaze turned towards the end of the ruins.
“I was wondering why you were so confident. Did you believe that I brought a bunch of beggars with me?”
“You’re shaking? What do you mean?”
“Don’t act like a fool. I confirmed that there are about twenty humans at the entrance to the room.”
If there are 20 people who are worthy of coming here… … no way?
Something passed through Jinhyuk’s mind.
A force that participated in this raid and has not yet appeared.
‘Dangun Guild.’
I thought I was sticking with Gandara and Mine, but it looks like they kicked that offer away.
I thought that in large guilds, there were only those who were blinded by self-interest and would use any means possible.
Still, it seems like there are some decent people left.
I really would have liked it if I hadn’t been caught by surprise.
shit.
Black liquid can be seen gathering around the Wailing Witch.
The intention is to activate the worst skill he possesses, ‘Black Tears’.
This is dangerous.
“You got caught! Avoid!”
Jinhyuk shouted.
at the same time.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Black waves flooded towards the entrance.
“Uh… huh?”
“Bah, Hyung Park. Something’s coming!”
“Damn. I guess the magic canceling skill was overlooked.”
“Prepare your formation! Turn on all survival skills!”
A scream came from the Dangun guild hiding behind the stone statues of monsters.
Park Jeong-jin, who was at the front, stretched out his shield, which radiated dazzling brilliance.
[Jeongjin Park activates his unique ability ‘Divine Bond’!]
A golden shield completely covered the entire raid, centering around the shield.
Kwaaaaang!
As the black waves and the divine shield collided, colorful sparks flew out in all directions.
“……It was close.”
Park Jeong-jin breathed a sigh of relief.
“Drop your shield!”
“Kang……Player Jinhyuk? You’re throwing away your shield. What do you mean?”
“Throw it away now!”
Even if you block black tears, they are not blocked.
This is because it only shows its true value when it comes into contact with the object.
Tsutsutsu!
A special power that changes anything it touches.
Black tears were among the most heterogeneous of curses.
[‘Black tears’ seeped into the shield.]
[The shield is contaminated!]
When it touches living things, it causes frenzy, optical illusions, and mutations.
Even when it touches inanimate objects, it creates all kinds of variables that are difficult to predict.
Truly unpredictable.
Therefore, the impact of this ability was on a different level from other abilities.
Even the Wailing Witch, who was in charge of the ability, was unable to completely control this ability.
“Keeeeee!”
The shield’s mouth opened and started shaking wildly.
There is nothing like a monster with sharp teeth and spitting out black liquid.
“Oh, this can’t be right.”
Park Jeong-jin was startled and threw down his shield.
The ability to bring life to items.
Park Jeong-jin thought he had experienced all kinds of abilities until now, but he swears that this was his first time experiencing such bizarre abilities.
Didn’t one female player even let out a shrill scream and writhe her whole body when a single tear drop touched her skin?
“Off……kwaaaaaak!”
“So, Song, come to your senses. Hyung Park! Don’t let that touch your body. It’s like a zombie virus that changes people!”
“Damn it… Are you saying that I can’t block it and have to avoid it?”
It’s an absurd ability.
The fact that it couldn’t be blocked even by a divine type meant that it couldn’t be offset by any other ability.
The advantage of surprise has disappeared and there is not much space to avoid, so the advantage in numbers has become a weakness.

So, while everyone was panicking.
“Tristan.”
The Wailing Witch looked at Mine next to her.
“Please speak.”
“I’ll leave the obstructionists to you. It seems like the three humans we dealt with earlier have also recovered, so don’t forget to kill them.”
Before we knew it, Maria, Yeonhwa, and Taemin Lee were ready to fight again.
It was thanks to the fact that I was able to catch my breath after drinking the magic power recovery potion that Jinhyuk had given to me.
“Hmm. You’re not saying I’m going to have to deal with them all by myself, are you?”
“No problem. Do you think I’ll send you off alone? I’ll provide strong support. You don’t have to worry too much. However, since his intelligence is a little lacking, I hope you can finish him off appropriately.”
It wasn’t just the shield and players that were infected with the black tears.
The reason why stone statues of various monsters were brought here.
It was meant to be utilized in this way.
[Sleeping monster statues wake up!]
Crump! Uduk! … … Coo thump!
“Koooooo!”
“Gwaaaa!”
A huge number of monsters stood up with their eyes flashing.
Ogres and trolls, lizardmen and manticores, etc.
They were all medium-sized or higher powerful names that the Lamenting Witch had specially selected and collected.
“Ugh….”
Park Jeong-jin bit his lower lip gently.
I came here to help Jinhyeok, but I ended up being stranded without being able to provide even the slightest help.
“Bah, Hyung Park.”
“At least we can take our time. At least we can’t get in the way.”
Dealing with monsters will allow Jinhyuk to focus on 1:1 battles with the boss.
That alone was reason enough to come here.
‘If we can somehow join the three people over there, we can hold out as long as possible.’
If Lee Taemin’s drones and Yeo Yeon-hwa’s tanking Maria’s firepower are added, even medium-sized monsters will not be easily defeated.
The worries didn’t last long.
“We’ll clear a path there. I’ll take the lead, so you guys cover the flanks.”
“Damn it. He said he would only let us walk on the flower path.”
“When I die, I will become a bachelor ghost and follow my brother around. Remember, I haven’t even gotten married yet.”
＊＊＊
“Do you care about other humans?”
The Wailing Witch opened her mouth.
“Not really. Everyone can protect their own body.”
“Hehe. For that matter, you seem quite nervous. But don’t fret too much. Anyway, those who came here will meet on friendly terms in the afterlife.”
“I’m sorry, but I come from a fundamentally Confucian background. As a long-term will, I will send the older person first.”
“Really. You and your viewers have a knack for getting angry. Do you think that just because you defeated an apostle, you can kill me as well? Seriously?”
“If you weren’t able to cook the way I want, I wouldn’t have even come here.”
Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders.
“Okay… let’s see if I can get my first move. I hope it lives up to at least half of my expectations. I don’t want it to be too boring.”
Sigh.
The worn-out arm moved to the left.
[The curse ‘Blood Melting’ is activated!]
Omangseong collapsed at Jinhyeok’s feet.
It is a curse that melts all the hemoglobin in the blood, and its effectiveness is maximized by overlapping a 4-star ‘amplification’ barrier.
[Due to the ‘pollution stat’, the effectiveness of curses and barriers increases by 30%!]
The addition of unique stat effects is a bonus.
“It’s too late now. We can’t avoid it or stop it.”
A wicked smile appeared on the witch’s lips.
Ugh!
The red light blinked.
however.
“Hmm?”
The Wailing Witch tilted her head.
Obviously, the magic was performed properly, but the person who had to vomit blood from the eyes and mouth was too healthy.
… … what?
It didn’t take much time for me to realize the identity of the deep sense of discomfort.
no way… … .
“You destroyed my technique… as soon as you saw the pattern…?”
This is something I can’t believe.
Is it even possible to understand and analyze a magic trick with tens of thousands of possible combinations in less than a second?
Even worn-out witches prepare in advance through defensive barriers. After allowing the opponent’s attack, he did not do anything to destroy it.
This is because it was a very risky act.
“Well, it’s not that big of a deal. I’ve been studying a lot about barriers lately. Curses were originally an area I was confident in.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! Are you saying my techniques are so poor that you can recognize them just by looking through a few pages in a book?”
“If it was unfair, couldn’t you have planned the combination better? It’s not easy to read because it uses a 4-star barrier.”
A soft light rose from Jinhyuk’s shoulder.
The ancient rune language blossomed, showing off its splendid appearance.
“Is it a type of engraving…? You were a barrier master. That’s right. That’s why you were so treacherous.”
“Hoo. Still, it looks like your eyes aren’t knotholes.”
Although he didn’t seem to know that it was the imprint of the moon.
Just knowing that this is a sign of Gyeolgyesa is great.
“I guess you weren’t a complete idiot. Come on. If you have shallow knowledge of the barrier like you said, I’ll raise the difficulty a little more.”
The Wailing Witch moved both hands this time.
Pazzutz!
A rune was overlaid on the pentagram, and three barriers stretched next to it.
Because both hands were used, the speed of calculation and the completeness of the technique were several times higher than before.
“No matter how much of a person’s profession is barrier-making, he or she will not be able to get out of this alive.”
Kukukukukukuku!
The entire ruins were in turmoil.
The mixture of sticky magic power and curse made my skin sting as if it was going to burn.
indeed… … .
When I saw that advanced magic was activated through multiple calculations, I thought that Witch Sesam was a witch.
How skilled do you have to be to do something like that? I thought so too.
of course.
From a position overlooking such a state… … . Although it was only at an extraordinary level.
Moment.
A crack appeared in the center of the foundation of the pentagram.
“W-what?”
The Wailing Witch, who was confident of victory, opened her eyes wide.
[‘Moon Imprint’ is blooming.]
Quad deuk!
Quack!
The three barriers shattered like glass windows.
“Didn’t I tell you to compete with a stronger barrier?”
Beyond Jinhyeok’s shoulder, barriers in the shape of a six-pointed star began to appear one by one.
three… … Four and five.
When the number of barriers reached ten, the Wailing Witch’s mouth was wide open.
“What I meant was to go all out.”
Jinhyuk snapped his fingers.
＊＊＊
Wooooow!
This time, the first rune words I saw were drawn at the feet of the Wailing Witch.
It is similar to the pentagram used a little while ago.
“This is what it is…!”
The ability to build a barrier is not high.
It was so weak that there was no need to compare it to curses.
If you want to destroy something, you can do whatever you want.
If you are a member of the Grand Witch Association… … ! Something this low-level can be reduced to dust in an instant!
but.
“……uh?”
Kwaaaaang!
Before the structure of the spell could be examined, a huge explosion occurred.
“Gagging. Coughing! Cough!”
The Wailing Witch staggered through the smoke and jumped out the other side.
The face stained with embarrassment seemed filled with only questions.
why.
Why on earth!
Are you saying you haven’t figured out the connection between the most basic techniques?
Right then.
A sly voice was heard from behind.
“I’ll say it again, it doesn’t matter what grade the barrier is or how powerful the curse is mixed in.”
That combination is important.
No matter how insignificant and low-grade a barrier is, it can exert even more power if combined with a barrier or curse that suits the situation.
“If you want to fight me properly, bring out the black tears. Otherwise, the story won’t progress.”
“Iik! How dare you lecture me? There’s no need to bring out black tears. I can tear you to pieces with just my pure skills!”
[Curse ‘Death by Car’ is activated!]
[7-star barrier ‘Proliferation’ is activated!]
Numerous runes embroidered in the air.
Red pentagrams appeared in a dizzying manner.
The ten barriers that Jinhyeok had deployed earlier were too many for a single barrier master to handle, but this one was easily over 30 times that number.
Because the color of the sky completely changed.
“……It’s spectacular.”
Jinhyuk let out a small exclamation.
It is not easy to see so many colorful and small barriers.
“Huh. Huh… Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! Did you see this! This is me! I am the one who received the title ‘Wailing’ from the Grand Witches’ Association!”
The Wailing Witch burst into laughter.
“Writh in pain and die. You young boundless priest. This is the difference between a great witch and a milky baby.”
Hands turn upward.
The spells all tried to activate, emitting bright light.
But that was right then.
[The 9-star barrier ‘Zodiac Signs (黃道十庌宮), Scorpio’s barrier’ is activated.]
[The 4-star barrier ‘High-Speed Substitution’ is activated.]
Suddenly, one of the colors of the red pentagram changed to blue.
This is a phenomenon that only occurs when new magic power intervenes.
It also meant that the owner of the ritual had changed.
Soon, the color of the red sky began to change, as if it were contagious.
“I can’t believe it. There’s no way something like this is possible. Something like this… something like this….”
The computation speed… … It’s ridiculously fast.
Whether it’s a curse, a barrier, or a technique created through a combination of the two.
Everything that is activated is being destroyed.
like that.
The scene where countless red pentagrams are replaced by countless blue six-pointed stars… … .
I dare not even describe it with the word spectacular.
fantasy, game,
