Chapter 7: Calling the Storm
Sponsored by Ser4, TLC by Enlightened End
Weed gave himself to the blowing wind, shooting arrows as he slid 5, 10 meters.
“This must be why archer class are so popular.”
Weed mumbled while shooting arrows.
100% on target!
Not only were the shots unbelievably precise, being a high elf bow it inflicted additional spiritual damage.
SCHWAAFF!
Consecutively fired arrows pierced the skeletons manning the castle wall one by one. Fire spirit caused fiery explosions and water spirits created hail storms. Spirit of earth covered its surrounding in mud and wind spirit push the skeletons to fall toward the ground.
A scorched earth tactic!
He thought he understand the fun the players had by choosing as an archer or ranger. But he did not know that the ranger or archer players who were watching through an actual television had their mouths gaping at the sheer absurdity.
“But still, an archery class doesn’t suit me.”
Hitting a monster at a far range with an arrow had a great pleasant feeling. Some Undead vanished without even knowing why they were dead. But he realized as he was shooting the Undead far away, it only consumed arrows and he couldn’t even pick up any drops.
He had great regrets at the items he could not get even by stretching out his hands. Unless he was hunting independently in a secure place, he considered an archer to be the wrong class in a battlefield like this.
“Really, you need to use a sword.”
Killing enemies directly insured certainty in picking up items. Weed was learning the importance of collecting his money.
Meanwhile, Geomchis, Marey and the priest also went up to the roof. Skeletons standing on top the Vargo Fortress towers and roofs shot arrows towards them. The felt themselves trapped like on an isolated islands, with monsters surrounding them on the ground and skies!
“Alright, let’s get started.”
Geomchi3 swung his sword and slashed a nearby gargoyle. The counter attack finally began on the gargoyles that covered the area like a dark cloud.
“Kill them all.”
“Clear these guys first and then let’s get the Bone Dragons!”
Geomchis caused countless number of reckless accidents, but the goal they were pursuing was to get stronger and nothing else. The method of their venerated strength was to break through their own limitations.
“Just start beating and they will die!”
“Destroy them all!”
Geomchis ran around slashing the gargoyles with their swords. With the enormous ruckus caused on the rooftops of Vargo Fortress, the Bone Dragons descended toward the ground from their flight.
“Humans are here.”
A single Bone Dragon, with its height that dwarfed the tower, approached them flapping its flesh-less wings. From the head of the Bone Dragon, a black miasma streamed out.
- You were falling into a state of fear, but you overcome it.
Agility reduced by 4%.
Wisdom decreased by 25%.
Bone Dragon could also infect them with its fear but its power was less than half compared to Balkan’s so they could withstand it.
The Bone Dragon opened its mouth wide and took in a deep breath. A pose for its infallible breath attack!The distance was really close and there wasn’t any good place for humans to hide.
Weed cried out a Lion’s Roar.
“Fight me first! My purpose for coming here is to kill Balkan. If you can’t kill me, than its impossible to take on anyone else.”
A macho display that even surprised the Geomchis!
If by any chance Weed dies, it will cause a huge problem. He could revive as an Undead by the ‘Power to Reject Death’, unable to disobey Balkan’s command. He might end up on Bone Dragons’ side and be coerced into fighting Geomchis but he still yelled in a loud voice.
“Without a doubt, I knew you were the most evil human here.”
Weed, some distance away from the Geomchis, ran on top the roof with all his might. The scenes passes by frighteningly fast with every step he took!
“Even if you flee, its useless.”
Choosing Weed as its precise target, the Bone Dragon opened its jaws wide. And then blew out its specialty, Acid Breath.
SCHWAAH!
Acid Breath that pushed onward from the sky. Weed ran on the roof with amazing speed but it seemed impossible to run away from the breath.
“Sprinting Wind.”
- You used a skill ‘Sprinting Wind.’
Health and mana consumption rate tripled.
Weed’s body accelerated as if his body was being flinged out. It was unbelievable speed fast enough to pass a horse with full speed in a split second. Soon, he disappeared as if he casted a teleportation spell.
He dropped into a hole on the roof he’s been keeping his eyes on ever since the Bone Dragon appeared. The Acid Breath swept the spot Weed was on and melted the outer wall of Vargo Fortress as well. As parts of the building got destroyed and melted, its shape became disfigured enough to see old carpets, furniture and painting inside the building.
“Teehee. There is a cool breeze coming inside,” a young skeleton stuck its head with joy.
When Weed came back up to the roof the Bone Dragon was flying low, stomping the place where the Geomchis were gathered.
“I ask you of your sins of invading Balkan-nim’s land.”
The fortress shook as if was under an earthquake, destroying the fortress walls. Because Geomchis were bunched up, some couldn’t avoid it and got stomped by the Bone Dragon.
