Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha - Chapter 83

# 83

83. Mission Type Subjugation (3)

Claws attack from left and right.

I moved my foot to the left with my sword erect. The blade of the sword that met the claws flew blue sparks. Kagagak! An ominous sound leaked through the hilt of the sword. It was unknown when the durability of the sword would run out.

“Diran, starting with the crossbowmen!”

Edith was in command of the battle on top of the castle wall.

Following Edith’s words, the archer aimed at the crossbowman. Edith, who jumped high and jumped over the soldier’s shoulders, also cut off the neck of a crossbowman.

“Hold on for a bit! I’ll break through soon!”

Edith shouted at us below.

You’ve noticed that the longer you wait, the harder it gets. The formation was also deployed forward considering speed rather than stability. The spears of Aaron and Roderick, standing side by side, swept like windmills and swept away the soldiers.

“Does something change when the 2nd party goes over there?”

Roaring!

Iolka said, spewing flames.

Two shadows caught in the flames disappeared.

“It is clear that it will be different from before. Concentrate!”

I gave strength to the hand holding the sword.

The members of the first party standing in a circle stiffened their posture. Dozens of shadows approached him. I said, tearing through the shadows with the blade of my sword.

“Take care of all the shadows until the 2nd party reaches the altar. Got it?”

“You’ll need a wizard.”

“Yes, it’s a third-level magic.”

“Okay. Give me casting time!”

Jenna drew her dagger and stood behind Iolka.

It was a triangle centered on Iolka. Longswords, shortswords, and threeswords pierced and split the gathering shadows.

“Kuaa!”

“Noisy baby!”

The black dragon opened its mouth and tried to bite me.

I twisted my shoulder to avoid it, then hit the eye with my elbow.

[This monster is immune to physical damage!]

A pain like being hit by a concrete wall passed through my elbow.

I frowned. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen this message. But it’s not long. I looked at the wall behind me.

‘It’s not like I’ve been playing and eating at the 2nd party.’

Edith and Roderick unite as the main axis to clean up the soldiers.

2 parties pushed past the top of the castle wall. The corpses of soldiers piled up one after another in the place they passed by. The distance to the altar is only within 10m.

[Ignite!]

The rolling flames swept through the shadows.

Belquist and Nerissa guided the shadows into one place.

【Explode!】

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!

The flames exploded all at once. As the sand rose high into the sky, the scorching heat rushed this way.

【Sublime!】

Two-kwang!

A pillar of fire rose from the center of the explosion.

The three members of the first party took Iolka and quickly left. The pillar of fire swirled in place, sucking in all the shadows and scales around it. More than 20 shadows were caught. Destroyed all of them at once.

“Haha…!”

Iolka let out a heavy breath.

His face was blue.

“Sister, drink!”

Jenna searched Iolka’s arms and took out a magic potion.

Iolka nodded and gulped the potion.

‘I’m done cleaning up Jjool.’

The shadow won’t appear for a while.

The only enemy left was this guy. I slashed the whip-like tail with my sword.

and

“Gagging!”

The soldier who stood in front of the altar had his throat cut and blood spurted out.

Edith turned the dagger drenched in blood. That guy was the last one.

“Han, what should I do now?”

“Put your hands on the altar!”

“okay!”

Edith raised her hand on the statue of the goddess.

The red light that had been hovering around the altar began to turn white.

[‘Party 2′ occupied the altar.]

The black dragon’s tail and claws swung.

The armor on the shoulder part was torn and blood was flowing. I took a breath and stepped back. Belquist followed.

“I’ll stick with you now.”

“I’ll do it even if you don’t tell me.”

I laughed.

A hologram window appeared in my field of vision with a sound effect.

[The effect of the altar is applied.]

[The Master Goddess’ Blessing is now available!]

[Slide the LCD! Give the hero holy power!]

Wings spread from the back of the black dragon.

Sharp spines sprouted from the tips of its wings. The black dragon swung its tail and struck its wings at the same time. Belquist swung his sword.

At that moment, the cursor crossed the screen.

[Tee-ring!]

[Applied!]

[The hero’s weapon has holy power!]

Chew!

The membrane of the wing is torn. Dark red blood splattered and stained the floor.

The black dragon hesitated and retreated.

“hmm?”

Belquist wrinkled his brow.

The sword that Belquist was holding in his right hand was shining white. Same with my sword. The same light lingered on Jenna’s dagger and quiver and on Nerissa’s three-bladed sword.

I aimed the blade at the black dragon.

“It’s time to crush that bastard.”

“I guess so.”

Belquist grinned.

The black dragon took a few steps back and glared at us.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…”

The black dragon, which had been making a boiling sound, suddenly crouched down.

The scales all over the body sprouted at once.

“Throwing scales. Get ready!”

Papababak!

The second scale shot.

I stood shoulder to shoulder with Belquist. I flip the scales on the left and Belquist bounces off the scales on the right. Nerissa and Jenna, who were far away, backed away, protecting Iolka.

through.

And as expected.

[Corrupted Shadow Lv. 14] X???

Shadows began to rise again from the scales embedded in the sand.

Once they retreated to the rear, they rejoined the main camp. I said while wiping the scale fragments from the sword.

“As you can see, our attack works on him now.”

“It doesn’t look that easy. Oppa, what are you planning to do?”

“Divide the party into two mods. The boss and the shadow. You fight while alternating roles.”

As the shadows piled up, the burden of fighting the black dragon increased.

It had to be adjusted to a reasonable number. However, considering the formation, it is difficult to deal with Shadow and Black Dragon at the same time. I had no choice but to split the party.

“I am group 1. Belquist and Nerissa are group 2. You two are group 3. Teams 1 and 2 take turns fighting him. Team 3 is back support. Start with group 2. I need to rest.”

The number of shadows is cumbersome, but not strong.

However, the side facing the black dragon would consume a lot of stamina. It was necessary to fight by alternating roles.

“Yes.”

“Please leave it to me.”

“Start right now.”

I slapped the neck of the shadow that was lingering next to me.

Belquist and Nerissa took their positions and charged the black dragon. The tip of Belquist’s sword, which shot out like a beam of light, pierced the black dragon’s shoulder. Black blood gushed out from the cracks in the scales.

‘Still, it’s not that simple.’

Immunity has been nullified, but the scales are hard and the hide is thick.

If I could kill them all at once, all five would rush in and finish them off, but looking at the situation, I thought I should prepare for a long-term battle. Standing back to back with Zena, I killed the flocking shadows one by one.

‘I can’t let it go.’

A bitter smile came upon me as I looked toward the altar.

“Drop the ladder first! Don’t let it climb!”

Edith exclaimed. A ladder was hung over the wall.

Enemies were coming from the other side. They rushed to the altar while climbing or climbing a ladder on the wall.

‘The amount of time I can endure is fixed.’

It cannot be blocked indefinitely.

One day, the defense will be breached and the occupation of the altar will be lifted. I had a long-term game in mind, but I didn’t have much free time.

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The black dragon roared with blood dripping from all over its body.

Belquist and Nerissa attacked him from left and right.

“Jena, stop with the dagger. Snipe him with the longbow. The shadow is enough for me alone.”

“I’ll leave it to you!”

Jenna drew her longbow and took a sniper stance.

In the background, Iolka is drinking a magic potion. As I cut long with my sword, three shadows scattered at once. I immediately took out the potion and put it in my mouth.

bang!

An arrow that flew through the air pierced the black dragon’s body.

The arrow’s feathers, which had been driven all the way to the root, trembled. Black blood splattered everywhere. Belquist’s sword, which did not miss the gap, cut through the wing membrane. I finished the two shadows and shouted.

“Belquist, Nerissa, take turns! Drink the potion as soon as you get back!”

“Okay!”

Thanks to emptying the entire potion, his physical strength was restored to some extent.

I stepped on the floor and ran to the black dragon. Belquist and Nerissa withdrew to base. The eyes of the black dragon captured me.

“This is a gift.”

I took out a dagger with my left hand.

The blade is imbued with a deadly poison that can kill even a horse in minutes. Kwajik! The thrown dagger was lodged in the pupil of the vertical line. Black blood gushed out of the black dragon’s left eyelid.

‘The berserk yet.’

It’s hard to get it back once you use it.

Wides are reserved for finishing opportunities. I turned around and swung my sword. A claw fell from the side. The blade of the sword glowed white. The black dragon’s severed claws were lodged in the wall. I grabbed the hilt of the dagger stuck in the black dragon’s left eye and cut it sideways.

“Gaaaaagh!”

The dragon roared desperately and lifted its neck.

Blood, discolored to purple, flowed down his eyelids.

“Han! I won’t last long!”

Edith exclaimed urgently.

I glanced over the castle wall. Beyond the altar, dozens of soldiers have already entered. Usher and Aaron were blocking the narrow road.

‘I know.’

Kwajik!

As I ran sideways, my tail got stuck in the sand. He swung his sword at the tail, but there was only a small cut in the skin and no major wounds.

‘The final blow isn’t enough.’

I bit my lip.

The Black Dragon’s wounds were not small. However, it has not yet been able to inflict a fatal blow to end its life.

Dragons often have two vital points.

neck or heart However, the hide around its neck and heart was particularly thick and hard. Blood flowed from all over his body, but it was still not enough.

“Aww!”

I turned my gaze to the castle wall.

[‘Usher (★★)’ has become bleeding. Stamina decreases for a certain period of time.]

“Whoa, whoo!”

A spear is stuck in Usher’s abdomen.

Foamy blood flowed from his mouth. Edith’s face hardened sharply.

“Get it back!”

Aaron bent down and dragged Usher to the rear. Roderick filled the vacancy. First aid with potions began.

“Isn’t this dangerous?!”

cried Iolka.

I frowned. The limit came sooner than expected.

‘After all, there is only gambling.’

If the altar is taken away, it is annihilation.

The remaining 4 members of the 2nd party could survive for about 5 minutes at most. I prepared to call Belquist and Nerissa. To be or not to be.

Koo Goo Goo!

Then, a violent vibration shook the field.

I looked at the epicenter. A tower was rising from the opposite corner of the wall where the 2nd party was.

[Field configuration complete!]

[Master’s second team can now be put in.]

At the top of the tower, there is a ballista with thick arrows attached to it.

[Select a second team.]

[Designated parties – ‘Party 1 (in combat)’, ‘Party 2 (in combat)’, ‘Party 3’….]

Edith, who was cutting down a soldier, looked at the opposite wall.

[You have selected ‘Party 3’.]

[Members – ‘Sharn (★★)’ ‘Rodel (★★)’…]

[Do you want to send them to the mission?]

[Yes (selection) / No]

Light Then a girl with short hair walked out.

A sword and shield are held in both hands. Sharn Ionor. He was the leader of the 3rd party that replaced Belquist.

After that, members of the 3rd party were being summoned.

“what?”

Sharon blinked and looked around.

Then our eyes met.

“run.”

I said.

“yes?”

“Run to the tower!”

“Kuaaa!”

The black dragon howled.

I made a big jump back. The claws overturned the sand. I spit out the sand that came into my mouth.

“You can’t see it! Go up the tower! Aim that ballista at this lizard!”

“Ah, ah, okay!”

Sharon ran up the wall in a hurry. After that, the members of the 3rd party followed.

A ladder was hanging beside it.
