Alone Full Level Newbie - Episode 22
22The enemy within
“Unbelievable.”
When Song Cheon-hwa and other players ran to the place where the shout came from,.
The worst had already happened.
“……late.”
The healer, who was looking at the four people on the floor, shook his head..
A clean scar on the back of the head.
He must have been ambushed from behind and died instantly..
But a much bigger problem than the deaths of the four men was what they were protecting..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A black sphere floating at the entrance to the ruins..
someone…….
……woke up the guardian.
[‘The ‘Guardian of the Ruins’ looks on at the intruders..]
[Time remaining: 09 : 59]
Guardian, a being that guards the entrance to the ruins’.
They possess power equivalent to that of a boss in a high-level dungeon, but have the characteristic of awakening only when stimulated..
That's why the nickname was 'Sleeping Bomb'.z
It means that it is a bomb that poses no danger if left alone..
“What kind of idiot touched this?!”
“What is the use of considering it now? I'm already starting to wake up!”
okay. It's already late.
Only 10 minutes left.
If you don't leave the ruins inside,…….
The Guardian fully awakens.
“tongue, brother!”
“know. I know too!”
Song Cheonhwa bit his lip..
You can't fight the Guardian.
That's tantamount to suicide..
‘At least half… … No, maybe more than that will die..’
In fact, raids have to be given up..
It would be impossible to get to the boss without losing half of your strength..
but.
‘It's over before it even starts?’
And for the ridiculous reason that it woke up the guardian.?
Hardness is not the problem.
It was a problem that could have resulted in being kicked out of the guild..
‘I worked hard to get to the position of head of the engineering college.…!’
Kuuk.
The molars dug into the lips..
It can't end like this.
never.
Song Cheon-hwa gave an order as if he had made up his mind..
“Let the Guardian wake up. We keep going inside..”
When the decision was made to proceed, noises were heard here and there..
“brother. I'm serious?”
“You have to think carefully. No, really. If you do something wrong, you could all die..”
One team of porters came in, but three teams were still waiting outside..
Moreover, not a single guild that was supposed to join as a latecomer has yet arrived at the ruins..
Continuing meant giving up more than 20% of the total power..
“Don't talk nonsense and follow me. Even if you take responsibility, I will take it..”
Song Cheon-hwa quickly dismissed the objection..
“and… … Even if there is no second team, if there is Teresa, there is a good chance of winning..”
okay.
This is what I believe in.
Song Cheon-hwa’s gaze glanced to the side..
blonde saint.
When it comes to dealing with undead monsters, Teresa was rated the best in the world..
If I'm with this girl…….
possible.
It's possible but.
＊＊＊
It was several dozen minutes later that the news reached the porters..
“Well, doesn’t this sound different? The Guardian has woken up, but he can't leave the ruins.?”
“What are you talking about? So, you're telling us to go with the attack team.?”
“Damn it. If I knew it would be this dangerous, I wouldn't have come in the first place.!”
The porters raised their voices..
However, the answer that came back was cold..
“Someone assassinated those guarding the Guardian, and by the time we arrived, the Guardian had already awakened..”
It's an assassination…….
Jinhyuk, who had been quiet, pricked up his ears..
‘They say there is a culprit among the people here.…….’
In today's world, murder is not such a big deal..
What's interesting is the motivation.
I'm not trying to make any profit.
Tracing people inside the ruins and not allowing them to leave?.
It's fun.
I can guess what this guy is aiming for..
And even its identity.
Perhaps, thanks to the awakening of the Guardian, we may be able to handle the situation more flexibly..
at that time.
Jinhyuk suddenly turned his head..
And one step late.
“It's a monster from the side! Medium class… … many!”
A player in the scout group shouted..
“I'm ready for battle!”
Song Cheon-hwa had a blood clot in his neck..
Because it was a surprise attack that had not yet been properly maintained, the response was slow..
thud! thud! thud! thud!
The grass shook left and right with an earth-shaking sound..
come.
And very quickly too.
“Tankers forward!”
“The porters, get back quickly! Don't disturb me and get out.!”
Kwaaaaang!
a tree fell.
The thing that appeared as the grass parted…….
“Oh oh oh!”
“Wow!”
2.5They were Dullahans that were over m tall..
Twelve in total.
They were all armed with maces and axes..
“Ugh.”
“Du, Dullahan?!”
There are a total of 13 types of monsters that appear at the entrance to the ruins..
Among them, Dullahan was one of the most difficult to deal with..
I woke up with the fur all over my body standing on end due to the overwhelming sense of intimidation..
A top predator that is fundamentally different from ghouls or skeletons..
Due to its tough skin, as well as speed and strength, the Dullahan was a very difficult monster to deal with..
“Tankers are given buffs to auxiliary classes, and dealers collect as much mana as possible and re-tune their timing.!”
Song Cheon-hwa led the attack force..
[Song Cheonhwa activates Lv3 ‘Iron Shield’!]
[Go Yun-deok activates Lv2 ‘Wedge Formation’!]
[Yunmi Lee activates Lv2 ‘Warrior’s Song’!]
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Various skills and buffs overlapped.
and at that moment.
“Wow!”
Kwaaaaang!
Dullahan's mace fell on the shield..
＊＊＊
Jinhyeok observed the battle from a little distance away in the rear..
‘Certainly, the guild-based phalanx is solid..’
It was evident that we worked together a lot..
Because I didn't lose at all even against Dullahan..
The problem is solo players who are not part of a guild..
Since I usually went alone, I wasn't used to this type of group fighting..
Eventually, victims began to appear..
Quack!
The eerie sound of bones being shattered and flesh being crushed..
“Wow!!”
A man with a sore shoulder collapsed, spouting blood..
“These guys are ridiculously fast!”
“Hey, healer! Where is the healer??”
“Please send some tanks to us too. I can't bear it... … . If this continues, he will all die.!”
Truly a father figure.
The hastily constructed organizational power was not enough to deal with the Dullahan..
At least that was the reality for solo players..
However, despite earnest requests for help, Song Cheon-hwa turned away those seeking help..
The victim comes out.
That's natural..
And I actually liked this side.
The corners of Song Cheon-hwa's mouth were subtly twisted..
‘To create a dramatic situation, the sacrifice of the beggars is essential..’
Actually, this raid had another purpose besides clearing the ruins..
Securing regular subscribers right away.
Due to the rule that only one view per subscriber per day is counted, the battle for subscribers among current players has become unimaginably fierce..
This means that it is not easy to get 10,000 views for a decent video..
‘In the end, to excite subscribers, you need to provide peripheral stimulation..’
Cruelty and sensationalism.
If you create a dramatic situation there, you will be able to make the best video..
‘Since there are a fair number of casualties, let’s move slowly..’
Song Tianhwa nodded to the side..
“Dongyoungah!”
“Yes, bro!”
The man who was casting immediately activated his magic..
Patsu Tzu Tzu!
the air cooled rapidly.
A pure white sphere created in the palm of your hand.
It was the ice magic ‘Ice Orb’..
Magical power emanated from a block of ice condensed to the limit..
at that very moment.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A storm raged among the Dullahans..
“Wow!”
“Ugh…….”
The movements of the Dullahans have noticeably slowed down..
Frost stuck to the arm holding the weapon..
The legs that were moving quickly became frozen in place..
“Now! Everyone spread out!”
Coo! Coo! Cooung!
Tankers, including Song Cheon-hwa, widened the gap to the left and right..
clearly exposed center.
fault!
percussion!
The waiting players kicked the ground..
They were the main dealers of the Balhae Guild's first attack team, using swords and spears..
Suddenly! Quack!
The blade aimed for a vital point..
For dealers who specialized in melee combat, the slow Dullahan was easy prey..
Coo! Wow!
The Dullahans fell one by one..
-The video came out well, bro. I think this will get at least 3 million views..
Balhae Guild's video editing talent gave a thumbs up.
‘300only……!’
The corners of Song Cheon-hwa's mouth ascended to heaven..
I felt like it was worth working hard to prepare for this production..
Well, you'll be drooling just looking at it..
Because the mulberry flavor was added properly..
‘Almost all of those who came solo were probably wiped out..’
8Marie was blocked by the guilds, but the remaining four passed the tank and went to the back..
result?
It’s obvious without having to check..
Those who fought would have already turned into corpses..
Only the quickest ones survived..
＊＊＊
Is this what it feels like to have a flash of light passing by??
25Kim So-mi, a talented person in the intelligence field, gave up on life as she saw the approaching ax..
I no longer have the strength to run away.
I didn't even have the magic power to defend myself by moving even a fingertip..
‘just… … I should live up to my level.’
He was just one of the many people who came in hoping to make a quick fortune..
This wasn't the ending I wanted.
I closed my eyes tightly and waited for the end..
I hope it ends as soon as possible.
however.
“……?”
I don't feel any pain.
weird.
I thought it was definitely going to be incredibly painful..
I couldn't hold back my curiosity and opened my eyes..
“omg!?”
An unbelievable sight was unfolding there..
Coughing!
the ax was stopped.
Dullahan's arms muscles were bulging as if they were going to explode, but he couldn't overcome the man in front of him..
‘……I'm holding on?’
No, I'm blocking it too lightly..
With just one dagger.
Looking at his armament, he must be a melee dealer.…….
Why does it look bigger than a tank holding a shield??
It was just amazing.
It was amazing and wonderful.
However, at the sight that followed, the feeling of surprise was replaced by fear..
Grumbling!
Man's left hand rises in flames.
It's not a small flame, it's a fire that stings your eyes..
“mind… … Wow, you even use magic..”
It's impossible..
An all-rounder that only a few exist..
Even among them, there are differences between abilities..
It means that there is a weakness somewhere..
However, I have never heard of a case where all abilities were this strong..
what is the level…….
‘I can't even guess.’
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Flames engulfed Dullahan's head..
A disgusting smell, like roasting rotten meat, filled my nose..
“Wow!”
Wow!
Dullahan's body, which turned into a lump of charcoal, collapsed..
Four of these.
Jinhyuk looked at the fallen Dullahan for a moment..
1I had to maintain the level, so I didn't completely stop breathing..
In fact, it is safe to say that it is almost like a corpse..
‘I'll take care of the ending..’
Jinhyuk brushed off the charcoal dust on his hands..
And he licked his lips as if he felt something was missing..
What can I say.
I haven't even warmed up yet, but it feels like the game is over..
It was inevitable that the level of Dullahan was much lower than expected..
A simple pattern that just follows instinct rather than a complicated attack..
Although he was a little faster and stronger. That was all..
In fact, it took less than 3 minutes to deal with four of them..
‘Somehow it seems a lot easier than before.?’
At that time, it took over 10 minutes to catch 4 Dullahan..
I shortened it by 7 minutes, so it's absurd even to think about it..
This seems to have stagnated too much even after 11 years of stagnation..
But right then.
“How on earth did you…….”
A completely unexpected voice was heard from behind..
