ACT 4 Idea Maze (Ⅰ)
“damn, is this the reason why there weren’t any demons around the dome?”
Ark ht This hy Maseutyu escaped into the do chased by the attack squad It was in order to trap them in this different dimension of space And switch must’ve happened when the door to the dome was opened That’s why the de the demons then they wouldn’t enter the dome so quickly He would’ve been more cautious and checked for any traps But when Ark arrived at the do froently entered the doht by his ploy
‘That means…… He intends to tie up our ankles until the Dark Lord is resurrected’
The Idea Maze was coht there was 12 hours reested, the area was a labyrinth It wasn’t a jail with no exits According to the laws of New World, there had to be an exit for the labyrinth but there was no guarantee that they could escape in 12 hours
“We can’t delay here Hurry and move ahead quickly!”
-Grrrrrrr
Ark shouted in an urgent voice Suddenly some black forms crawled from the space where the attack squad was It was a ure and red eyes! There was an instant fishy smell as hundreds of animals appeared on all sides
“These guys!”
Tiether after they appeared The monsters that appeared in this space where the beasts who had previously attacked Alan And they also annoyed the escaping Ti the beasts, Timosi’s arms quickly moved at a quick speed
“Matanyi Shooter no 3, Devil’s Stabbing Arrow!”
Dozens of arrows flew across the space and exploded
-Kuwaaaaaaaah!
Then the beasts simultaneously rushed towards the attack squad Ark surveyed their movement and reflexively shouted
“Warriors forward! Stop them with the counterattack formation!”
The warriors moved to their front with their swords and shi+elds In battle, warriors either used their shi+elds to increase their defense by 50 while reducing their attack by 30 or vice versa But warriors who reached a certain level could learn a special counterattack for It was si to be successful but once learnt then they could fight the enemies really quickly
“Prepare for that attack and counterattack simultaneously!”
And the warriors and beasts collided!
Ka ka ka!
There was a ringing sound and dozens of warriors flew back like they had been hit by a truck The defense line instantly collapsed The dozens of beasts caaps
“What, what the?”
Ark glanced at the scene with bewilderaran’s allied forces and were soe level of 350~370 and they wore deluxe equip 10 million won There were various options and the defense of the equiphtly lower because of the forood equipment be bloith one attack?
-Kuwaaaah!
Then one of the beasts shrieked and ran up to him when he was distracted Ark reflexively turned his body and used Dark Strike The attack precisely hit a weak spot Usually an ordinary demon would wobble and take a few steps back However, the beast just shook its head and swung its claws Ark was hit in the shoulder and retreated from the unexpected counterattack
“Ugh, this bastard……”
Ark i attack and retreated However, the beast caught up with Ark and swiped its claws again
“Matanyi Shooter no 1, Devil Penetrating Arrow!”
Then a bolt flew passed and hit the beast’s claw Ark heard Tied to escape from the beast
“These guys aren’t common demons They’re elite monsters!”
“What? You should’ve said that sooner!”
“I’ Arrow!”
Timosi blindly fired at an animal and shouted
‘These guys are elite demons?’
Ark eyed the beasts running wild around the area Ark’s fighting style was to check the information and then decide on a counterattack But they had suddenly been sucked into a strange space and then these beasts had appeared Furthermore, he was irritated that he fell into Maseutyu’s trap and he couldn’t react as calmly as usual
“We have to quickly move forward”
Ark took a deep breath Thewas to escape before the 12 hours was over However, Rwigenberg’s shi+eld was coht not have the same power as before so the airshi+ps would be able to penetrate it with an all-out attack again but they were hindered by the demons In the end, he could only rely on the 1,200 troops to stop the Dark Lord’s resurrection ceremony If the attack squad hurried and iped out then everything would be over
‘Let’s concentrate on the situation in front of me at the moment’
“All warriors change to a defensive position and stop the into the canims, join up with the barrierExplain their positions to the warriors All priests concentrate on healing the warriors holding the barrier first!”
Ark shouted after cal his head The warriors instantly spread out and formed a wall made of shi+elds The opponent was hundreds of elite monsters then the warriors in a defense position would still be bloay That’s why Ark gathered the warriors in one place He had connected the dozens of warriors into a circle If the weight increased then they wouldn’t go flying easily Ark had devised this eon Once the barrier was co hundreds of shi+elds
Kwang, kwang, kwang, kwang, kwang!
When the beasts rushed to the barrier, 10 people rose with the strike However, the warriors had their arms linked so they didn’t fly away
“Okay, we’ve prevented the beasts fro into the camp”
But he couldn’t be relieved just yet The shi+elds became dented every time the beasts rushed The endurance of the shi+eld was being steadily decreased If this continued then the shi+eld of the lead warriors would be destroyed in no time Furthermore, the warriors were in a defense position so it wasn’t possible for the that happen
“Jjak-tung hyung, please grasp the information of these beasts!”
“U-understood’Knowing onself and one’s opponent’!”
It was the special skill of the Guardian=Strategist that Jjak-tung changed to! The infor used the skill
-Nahts
Level: 500 (Elite)
Health: 8,000
Description: Dark beasts born frohts (Demonic)
Characteristics: Resistance to weapons +50, Resistance to ht attribute -50
Specialty: <rush> Breakthrough poill increase by 30
<quick> Movement speed will increase by 30
<confusion> When the Evil Thoughts are in a critical condition, all attacks will have a ‘Confusion’ effect When ‘Confusion’ is used, the health of the Evil Thoughts is decreased but the opponent hit by it will attack their colleague for a certain period of time The duration will depend on their mental power
“Now I have some idea about them”
Ark nodded after hearing the infor The reason why the beast wasn’t really affected by Ark’s Dark Strike was because of their resistance to weapons And they caught up with Dark Dance because of the <quick> effect, while the warriors were bloay because of the ‘Rush’ effect
‘50 resistance to weapons, Rush, Quick and Confusion…… There are no abilities that are particularly threatening Theis the ‘Quick’ effect
It was unnecessary to say how i The warriors weren’t able to counterattack because they were overwhelmed by the speed
‘First I have to seal their movements!’
Ark detery
“Magicians add ic to the archers’ arrows!”
The ic after hearing Ark’s coic arrows
“Concentrate on attacking their legs!”
“Precision Shot!”
Syu syu syu syu, syu syu syu syuk!
Hundreds of h the air They flew in a parabola over the warriors and struck the beasts’ legWhen hit by the arrows in a vital spot like that, the beasts were et abnormal statuses such as ‘blind’ or ‘blood vessel destruction’ The abnore of archers Of course, hitting a vital spot on a battlefield wasn’t an easy task The ability to hit the vital spots made archers one of the most desired professions in New World but it required a considerable level of archery skill In fact, there were users over level 100 who never hit the vital spots However, the attack squad members were some of the best in New World and had a hit rate of above 70 Furtheric so the resistance to weapons didn’t apply
-Kuwaaaah!
The beasts stumbled as dozens of arroere driven into their knees or calves And more than half of them were ‘slowed’
“All ic on the other side of the barrier!”
“Fire of anger from the bottom of hell, hell Breath!”
“Earth Elemental, Air Elemental, Fire Elereat God, be enthusiastic and run wild Summon spirits!”
Kuwaaaaaaaah!
At that tiathered warped The attack squad ic was stacked up Flaround while different elemental spirits appeared and attacked Thanks to the archers’ Precise Shot, the dehts lost their fighting spirit thanks to the ic and arrows!
“……Descend to this earth, Great Mother of Creation!”
Then Lariette’s voice came from the rear The Ark of Creation opened and a Goddess appeared in the darkness
Ka ka ka!
Sanctuary spread light through the darkness and burned the demons Meanwhile the soldiers wrapped in the explosion recovered their health
“Now Magicians, add ic to the warriors’ shi+elds and swords!”
“Atmosphere of mana, become the sword and shi+eld!”
The icians chanted a spell and a flash appeared around the swords and shi+elds Ark’s eyes gleamed and he shouted
“Noitch to assault mode!”
“Uhwaaaaaah!”
Hundreds of warriors rushed with their ic swords The soldiers turned into one solid e tank hit the deic arrows and Sanctuary Black blood welled up like a water fountain Thanks to the hts already had their speed reduced The archers continued to use Precise Shot to hit their eyes, arms and other vital spots to reduce the speed Therefore the warriors were able to slaughter the Evil Thoughts
‘Okay, now there is a chance to win We just have to finish it!’
“Everybody enter the battle Troops divide into units of 10 and attack the Evil Thoughts!”
The soldiers divided into groups of 10 and dispersed This was a tactic that Ark frequently used in battle Warrior, roup had a coe battle, the priests normally focused on the warriors while the archers attacked the monsters The combination could make up for the weaknesses of each profession Meanwhile Ark’s party was composed of Roco and the heroes’ descendants!
“Take this, Dark Strike!”
Ark ure raised his greatsword and shouted
“Beast Spirit Possession! Rise power of the bear! Rise power of the dog!”
Thewas the Beast Master Bread! Bread slahts to retreat Then a blurry shape appeared behind the Evil Thoughts While the Evil Thoughts were concentrated on Ark and Bread, Shambala had appeared behind them
“……Eunsal!”
Shaht split open, causing a shower of black blood The Evil Thoughts that became tattered from Ark, Bread and Shambala’s linked attack shrieked and frantically waved its claw
“I’ll get revenge for Alan! Matanyi Shooter no 1, Devil Penetrating Arrow!”
An arro frohts At the sahts becarily rushed towards Ark Then Lariette’s voice came from the rear
“Pure shi+eld!”
At that ht fornore that Lariette helped Ark and raised her harp
“Melody Rhapsody Impromptu Sonata of Pain!”
Some powerful sound waves headed towards the beasts Roco had intended to use the sound waves frohts However, the sound waves collided with Lariette’s shi+eld of light and an uniinable result was produced
Kuoooooh!
The shi+eld of light vibrated and amplified the sound waves The aht and shot forward Then cracks appeared on the ground and a few Evil Thoughts flew 20 aped with shock as an informationappeared in front of them
-A new cooperative chain skill has been registered
Coues with special attributes or professions use specific skills together then they are incorporated into each other and will exert an ever more powerful effect This is a cooperative chain skill However, the colleagues that trigger the cooperative chain skill have to possess the same purpose
Then there was a strange metal whine as Wormer raised a fist and shouted
“This is a man’s romance! Armoured suit attachment complete!”
-Kuwaaaah!
Several beasts had run up to Wormer He had expected Wormer to freak out and escape but he just smiled instead
“Heh, you will be the first to die Arhts, launch!”
Tu tu tu tu, tu tu tu tu!
At that moun carriage fired towards the Evil Thoughts That’s right It was a personal battle aric Institute created
“Hahaha, how do you like the taste of enius armoured suit?”
The shells fired frohts ran out froh to stop the elite demons
“Wormer!”
Ark shouted as the Evil Thoughts ran forward However there was still a smile on Wormer’s face
“Huhuhu, do you think I didn’t expect this ine open!”
There was a roaring sound froine attached to the bottom of the foot that allowed him to move quickly
“Hahaha, I’ll turn you into rags!”
Woruns Wor warrior thanks to his armoured suit
“Ark, the Evil Thoughts are surging!”
Ark had been stupidly watching Worathered his spirit and shouted
“Let’s go! Dark Strike!”
“Earth storm!”
“Torrential Sword!”
Ark, Bread and Shahts The power of Ark and the heroes’ descendants was overwhel
‘Their skills are superior Mine has also becoathered!’
Ark realized it after battling with the party In fact, Ark had also realized this in the past after fighting with Shambala At that time, the Dark Walker and Saint assassin had different skills and effects But when they fought together, the two skills had a strange connection which ether easy He later learned that it was because Ark and Shaether The Hero Christin and the assassin Master Salrin had fought against the darkness together and developed skills in conjunction with each other The rest of the heroes’ descendants were also like that When they fought together, a connection was clearly shown Despite Roco not being a hero’s descendant, she er a cooperative skill with Lariette Furthermore, Ark’s Eternal Soul autoainst demons Therefore Ark and his party left devastation in their wake on the battlefield After 30 hts had been reduced to dozens
“We’re in the final stretches! Annihilate them!”
“Waaaaahhhhh!”
The attack squad cried out after hearing Ark’s words and raised their weapons
———————————————————————————————————–
“We’ve exterhts on the left side!”
“We’ve exterht side!”
The attack squad covered in the blood and flesh of Evil Thoughts reported back
“Good work Recover your health and mana and check your equipment”
Ark nodded and gave an order After entering the labyrinth, they had already experienced 10 big battles There was no tiet any ular battle then he would use scouts to avoid as hts just suddenly appeared in this space They showed up and surrounded the group on all side so there was no way to escape
‘Yet I’ve already grasped the hts’
In fact, in online gaainst them the first timeThey didn’t understand the special characteristics of the opponent and the hts were difficult to fight against when they first appeared But after fighting against the Evil Thoughts 10 times, they had beco the attack patterns meant he could predict their movements The attack squad could now respond to any surprise attacks without panic When the faced the Evil Thoughts the first time, it took 30 minutes to wipe them all out with 100 casualties Now it only took 20 e
‘I’ve levelled a lot thanks to that but……’
Ark sighed and looked at his character information
