STGB Chapter 427

Episode 427 Like Ice (2)

Eli Baba (Black) Extreme Deal Mode.

In short, blackening mode is the most extreme among the various modes that can be activated with [Elementalization].

All resistance values are 0.

Moreover, since you will be damaged by divine power, you cannot receive healing.

but instead.

Immune to all types of status ailments, such as bleeding, poisoning, stun, paralysis, and bondage.

It has this crazy effect.

Still, the random penalty remains as it is because it is judged as a system effect rather than a status ailment…

That part is not so important right now.

Right now, the core of this blackening mode is separate.

「All types of attacks receive an unavoidable blow correction.」

A blow that cannot be evaded.

[Dungeon & Stone] unique option that is only attached to Black Mode.

Of course, like the motto of this game that loves equivalent exchange, the price is more than the glass body.

「Increases all resource consumption by 20 times」

「Increases the cooldown of all skills by 5 times」

Two lines of phrases that instantly turn a normal explorer into an idiot.

However, that doesn’t apply to me at the moment.

Aren’t you already half-assed because of the random penalty anyway?

If you have to pay attention, it’s probably this part.

「Recoil comes to the character in proportion to the holding time.」

Recoil must be reduced as much as possible.

To put it simply, time is more precious than gold.

‘Now then, let’s do it quickly.’

As I took a step forward, Six quickly opened the gap like a fly.

Tadat.

It seems that I am wary of my changed appearance.

Are you going to start exploring?

If so, thank you for me.

Whoa-!

Close the increased distance and swing the hammer.

That’s right, if you swing it in the air, it won’t be considered an attack.

Even if the result of meaninglessly splitting the air is the same, it was confirmed through experiments in the past that only when there is a clear goal is there an unavoidable correction.

fault.

As she did throughout this battle, a woman who avoided the hammer with minimal movements.

“I receive the unavoidable blow correction.”

At the same time, the correction effect was activated.

Chii Iik-!

A space torn diagonally along the trajectory of the hammer.

“······!”

The eyes of the woman who saw this were different.

Even if you don’t know what this is, you have raised your concentration to the limit so that you can deal with it at any time…….

———!

The hammer that had been swinging went into the darkness of the gap, and the sound of the weapon’s piercing stopped.

Degur.

The woman’s pupils widened their field of view as if looking for traces of a missing weapon.

Even so, it’s useless.

“…!!”

The hammer, which appeared after a brief moment in time, transcended space and hit Six’s body.

While preserving the physical force that was first wielded.

Poo-!

A dull noise followed shortly thereafter.

Unfortunately, the taste was not very good.

Well, the thing that got stuck was the abdomen…

‘Why is this woman so hard?’

At first, I thought it was just agility, but it seems that a lot of stats are invested in defense.

Well, if you look at the expression when you get hit, it doesn’t seem like there was a hit

… If I had only been able to use [Swing], I would have been able to harpoon properly…’ It’s a

pity that the damage increase effect of Demon Grinder only activates when blunt skills are used.

But…

‘If it doesn’t work once, try again.’

It won’t be too late to regret it after everything has failed.

Whoo-!

Throw away your lingering feelings and swing the hammer again.

Tadat.

Six spread the distance farther than before.

It seems that the blow I received earlier was a warning… but

it’s not like that’s how it will be destroyed.

Poo-!

A strike that always transcends distance and hits the mark.

‘It’s finally stuck in my hair.’

This time, quite a bit of taste was conveyed, but surprisingly, Six did not even let out a small moan.

My body even staggered once, that’s all.

Swoop.

Soon, Six slowly lifted his bowed neck and glared at me.

And…

“Two.”

He mechanically spat out the blood in his mouth and opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“I remembered.”

…huh?

“Grade 5 monster Flora’s ability [Spiritization]. It was the effect when the Dark Spirit was added to it.”

Uh…

‘Is this guy memorizing the effects of essences?’

Maybe so.

First of all, they are agents who have been carefully raised in the kingdom, right?

“It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, so it’s a little late to grasp it, but…”

When the words continued to that point.

I immediately hit the ground and dashed forward.

“It will be different from now on.”

Unlike before, Six did not back down.

No, rather…

Tadat-!

rushed towards me recklessly.

I was able to do it intuitively through that action.

That the words you just said are not lies.

And…

‘Ha, I’ve only hit two yet.’

That the road to hell would begin from now on.

***

Huung-!

Hit the hammer following the course of the rushing Six.

Six didn’t even dodge.

I made a cold-hearted decision based on the information I had.

‘Because if I don’t avoid it, I can decide where to hit myself.’

The first thing that hit me was the hammer.

Poo-!

Just as soon as the hammer hit Six’s shoulder.

Pooh-!

The aura-coated dagger slices through my forearm like tofu and lodges itself in it.

‘This is why I was saving Dark Baba Mode…….’

It is clear which one is more damaging than the one exchanged in the same way.

As you can tell just by looking at those arrogant eyes.

“You’re more agile than I thought. I was aiming for the neck.”

damn it

If I had cursed it, I would have taken it as a high praise and raised the corners of my mouth.

Are you more alert than you think?

This is the ultimate insult.

sigh.

Thanks to the pain tolerance being changed to 0, the pain in the forearm clearly rises from the stabbing.

I decided to take it as positively as possible.

I got an aura with 0 cancer resistance, but this is good enough. The injury would have been much more serious had it not been for the forearm or the skin side of the penetration.

Yeah so…

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Even the tingling pain is used as fuel to spit out spirits.

“A tough guy.”

This match will end sooner than expected.

‘Once more.’

hit the hammer again

It was the same composition as before.

Six did not dodge this time either and extended his dagger.

And…….

Pooh-!

squeak.

Strikes that each other exchanges one blow at a time.

“…….”

Six was the shoulder that had been slapped before.

‘Nimiral.’

In my case, it was the hand holding the shield.

I tried to use my shield to pass the turn at least once, but the dagger imbued with an aura penetrated my palm because it was not enough to pierce the shield.

Iron lump.

The shield fell helplessly to the floor, perhaps even cutting off the string that held the shield on the wrist.

Oh, not the shield, but the little finger and the ring finger are also included.

But…

‘One more time.’

Either that or not, swing the hammer again.

However, this time the composition has changed a little.

Six, who didn’t dodge and rushed in, blocked the hammer’s path by gathering the two daggers he was holding in both hands.

But…….

Jjii Iik-!

The hammer was sucked into the darkness, being calibrated just before colliding with the dagger.

And soon

Poo-!

Ignoring the space, I hit Six’s ankle hard.

Even though it was clear that the bone had suffered a significant impact due to the low fat layer, Six looked unconcerned.

“…So you’re saying it can’t be done this way?”

Hey, it seems like I’ve become a monster that gets attacked.

‘Once more.’

wield a hammer

Poo-!

hit one

Poo-wook.

One more knife mark is added to the body.

Once, twice, three, four……

How many more attacks did they exchange like that?

Finally, I acknowledged Six.

‘This woman… is much stronger than I thought.’

Not to mention his natural skills.

He can use auras, and his blade is as fierce as Orculis’ leader.

Perok-.

Even this woman was not the ignorant type.

After only a few exchanges, the knowledge of blackening mode began to be used.

Pooh-.

Judgment is also the same.

“I can’t use this shoulder anymore.”

As if to prove this, Six throws the dagger he was holding in his left hand to the ground.

I’ve decided that I can’t use it anymore anyway.

After the Elegance started, this woman took most of my attacks with her left forearm and shoulder.

A cold-hearted mind that will drive the damage to one place.

‘I beat him ten times and got one arm…’

Of course, compared to my appearance with cuts and holes all over my body, I’m no different than a nobleman…

But I don’t regret taking out the blackening mode. .

That’s probably

the case too…….

All I have to do is hold out against a woman like this?

That’s also in a state where I’m losing my stamina and this woman is maintaining her condition?

It was clear that things had gotten out of hand.

So far, it was to this woman’s benefit to hold me, but if the reason to do so disappeared at any time, this woman’s blade would have been directed at her colleagues.

Kwak.

So I changed my mind.

The original goal was to get rid of this woman as quickly as possible and support her colleagues, even at the cost of damage, but…

‘At least… I have to deal with him somehow here.’

Okay, now that the goal has been simplified, it’s a bit clearer.

Let’s think about the aftermath later.

Like a barbarian warrior.

Poo-!

Let’s focus more on this moment.

One day, when that woman revealed even the slightest gaps.

So that I can run like a wild dog and bite.

Poo-wook.

Forearms, wrists, thighs, etc.

As much as vital points were avoided, the stabbed knife pierced deep into the lower abdomen.

“……!”

I think this is dangerous.

profit.

I force myself to hold my staggering body with the strength of my lower body and quickly organize my thoughts.

‘How long can I last?’

No, exactly how many seconds are left?

I don’t know, but I don’t think it will be very long.

But…

‘Not yet.’

Reduce urgency as much as possible.

If you wait a little longer, it will come.

The moment to win the long-awaited victory.

Poo-!

Pooh-.

The battle continues without a break.

No, actually, it was funny even to call it a workshop.

A series of moments in which each other ignores defense and only attacks and attacks to kill each other.

“The paladin who died earlier.”

Without saying a word, the woman who was busy chopping up my body suddenly opened her mouth.

But, what are you trying to say?

“Were you very close?”

I don’t know why I’m curious about that.

but······.

Whoa-!

I answered while swinging my weapon once more.

“no.”

The time we knew each other was too short to be friendly.

But one thing is certain.

“Then I don’t understand. Why are you doing this?”

“Because I wasn’t the type to die in a place like this.”

I don’t know much about him.

What I have seen is only one side of his many facets revealed in the labyrinth.

That’s why it’s even more regrettable.

What was it like to explore with Jun?

I guess it wouldn’t be too bad.

Even though the porridge usually goes well, when the habit came out when he was a Heretic Questioner, he must have put on a tired expression somewhere.

Even though unconditional support is burdensome, it must have been more dependable than anyone else at times.

Whoa-!

at a drinking party?

Are you good at drinking? There are definitely kids like that whose personality changes when they drink alcohol.

What type of guy was he?

Whoo-!

I do not know.

These guys took that chance.

No, not just Jun, but the other members as well.

Pooh-!

It wasn’t such a futile life.

therefore······.

“Behel—laaaaaaaa!!!”

Forcibly move the arm that is not moving.

To not let these guys take more from me.

Kwak-!

Balanced by forcefully injecting strength into the severed thigh muscles.

wheeik.

As if determined to defeat me, a sad aura flies toward my stomach, ignoring the air resistance.

but at the same time.

“The character’s luck blocks damage.”

The long-awaited moment has finally arrived.

Took.

A dagger that stopped in the air as if it were colliding with a transparent curtain.

‘Yes, it finally exploded.’

Gachabon’s ability [Stochastic Retaliation].

Passive works regardless of whether the active skill is sealed or not.

「Reflects 15% of the damage taken to the enemy.」

The skeleton created on the left side swings a dagger towards Six.

It’s not an ordinary dagger either.

A dagger that glows with an aura of the same color as Six’s aura.

Tadat.

Accordingly, Six, who had been attacking with an aggressive attitude, quickly took up his stance and stepped back.

It was a scene I had seen several times before.

Even before turning on the black mode, [Stochastic Retaliation] continued to explode, and that woman from Six evaded the counterattack with unlucky speed.

But…

shit.

It’s a positive sign after a long time.

‘I guess you didn’t know that much about the black mode?’

If that was the case, I wouldn’t have made such a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The unavoidable bonus of the blackening mode is definitely applied to the passive.

Just like this.

Chi profit.

As soon as the dagger of the summoned skeleton cut through the air.

A crack formed in the air swallowed the dagger.

And soon

Pooh-!

It transcends space and penetrates Six’s body.

“Keugh.”

It’s been a long time since I heard a moan coming from that steely woman.

But…

‘Nimiral.’

I was not satisfied.

‘Does that stick in your thigh?’

If it got stuck in the neck or somewhere between the heart and forehead, the game would have been over immediately.

If it’s not sad, it’s a lie, but I abandoned my lingering feelings.

‘It’s not like I didn’t expect this to happen in the first place.’

Starting with Hans A, whom I met in the Crystal Cave, I have encountered countless enemies.

And…….

‘Yes, rather, this is my last.’

It was Plan B that led me to victory each time.

So in that sense.

as prepared.

Tadat.

It’s time to throw the odds.

Whoop whoop-!

Dashing forward, he spewed the blood from his mouth onto Six’s face.

The corpse golem’s [acidic bodily fluid] is no longer there.

Still, you can cover your eyes.

Whoa-!

The sprinkling of blood and the swinging of the hammer were almost simultaneous.

A blow that exquisitely pierces the angle of view.

However, Six held out his shoulder as if he could see the trajectory.

It was the shoulder of the example that was already harpooned and dangling.

You’re just pulling mulberries with one arm.

Poo-!

A hammer strikes the shoulder.

Whiik-!

Meanwhile, the woman held out her dagger.

I didn’t dodge

Pooh-!

A dagger that cuts deep into the lower abdomen.

Swoop.

Ignoring the pain, I extend my arms forward as if I was waiting.

The arm that normally wore a shield, and the arm that had been limp and unused after being handed earlier.

Six’s eyes hardened.

“……!”

Oh yeah you didn’t expect this either.

It’s worth noting that I haven’t used it until now.

Took.

As soon as his fingertips touched Six’s neck.

Kwak-.

I used my index finger, thumb and middle finger to squeeze the neck hard.

Kwajik-!

Even in this situation, I put my forehead on the top plate, which was not greatly shaken.

And…

Quaang-!

Instead of holding on to Six’s body as it fell by inertia, it was piled on top of it as if it were squeezing it.

Pooh-!

It felt like my side was burning.

It was a bit odd.

Did you stick the knife in the middle of the fall?

Whoo-!

In mount stance, he strikes down the hammer he held short.

Then something amazing happened.

‘Huh… It’s crazy, really.’

Even in a situation where the upper body was restrained, he avoided the hammer by moving only his neck with reflexes…

Surprisingly, it was not a very meaningful action.

Just because it’s close range doesn’t mean that the unavoidable correction won’t go into it.

Kwajik-!

The hammer struck at the head pierces the air and crushes Six’s feet.

Pooh-!

In return, one more blade was added to his side.

For an instant, a feeling of dizziness occurred as if all the strength was drained from the body.

But the more I did it, the more I exerted my strength and hit it with a single blow.

Kwajik-!

The hitting area was pretty good this time.

As if the hammer had pierced her wrist properly, the dagger that the woman was holding tight at any moment bounced off and flew through the sky before collapsing on the floor.

‘Okay then, now I don’t have any weapons.’

Throwing away the worry of counterattack, he strikes the hammer again.

Kwajik-! Kwajik-! Kwajik-!

Six twisted his neck three times with a mysterious movement to protect his head, but it was different from the fourth.

That’s right, this time it went right into the crown.

Kwajik-!

A strong shock is transmitted to the brain, and the body hardens as if having a seizure.

But I didn’t stop and continued to hit the hammer.

The unavoidable correction no longer exploded.

It seems that even this monstrous woman could not show the feat of avoiding by moving only her neck while suffering from a concussion.

Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik-!

Hit the head with a hammer three more times like that.

‘Once more.’

When he raised his hammer preparing for the fourth blow.

Six’s eyes could be seen through the flesh and bones of his face, covered in blood.

It was a bit of a strange experience.

I’ve split the heads of countless enemies, but none of them have been like this.

“…….”

Calm eyes that never looked like someone in trouble.

Looking up at me with those eyes, she said.

“…lost.”

See how cool it is?

She didn’t look like a woman willing to beg for her life, but I didn’t expect it to be like this.

either way it doesn’t matter

“Nah… Raf. Donia…”

I hit the hammer with all my might.

Kwajik-!

With a terrifying sound of impact, Six’s body below stopped.

“Heh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh…”

His breathing was not steep enough to reach the tip of his chin.

‘Is he really… dead?’

I can’t feel it at all

It was that strong.

But how long can I not rest like this?

Swoop.

I took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

And…

“Er… well now [Elementalization] is—.”

please release it

The moment I was about to say that.

[Uncle—!!!!]

As if he had symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, his eyes were white and his body was staggering.

‘Oh shit…’

I have to get up right now.

There are still a lot of guys to get rid of.

Squeak.
