Chapter 91 - Youido Raid Competition (5) (1/2)
Myongsu Yang, Level 11 with the “iron armored archer” job, was assigned to Youi Bridge, along with the Necromancer.
He participated in the raid with a total of 13 team members, and all of them, armed with long-range weapons, were enjoying a synergy effect for ‘rear support shooting’.
In other words, they could not carry out the operation as a single team, so they were evaluated as the weakest among the teams participating in the raid. However, even if they were a weak team, they were smart enough to grasp what was going on.
‘This means that since our team is the weakest, we have to stand in the way of the Necromancer.”
Not surprisingly, 30 minutes before the start of the operation, Minhum Sung, the deputy commander of the Crusader Team, approached him and said, “Team manager.”
“…Yes?”
“Don’t overwork yourself today.”
As soon as he said that, Minhum disappeared. What he wanted to say was clear. He wanted Sungwoo’s attack delayed.
‘It’s clear that Junghoon, the guild master, is also holding me in check. Given his personality, he would not have openly ordered his men to check me, but this kind of message by his deputy Minhum means his whole team wants to stop me from advancing.’
On the surface, their boss raid looked like a coordinated operation, but in reality it was like a competition between the Crusader Team and the Necromancer over the No. 2 place in the players’ rankings.
‘It’s a game where the Necromancer like me has no choice but to lose because all the eleven teams participating in the raid support the guild master.’
After the raid began, however, Myongsu couldn’t believe what’s happening before his eyes.
Kuuuuuuh!
They first encountered twelve Lizardmen. While guarding the entrance to Youi Bridge, they pulled out wide swords and approached as soon as they found humans.
-Caution! The ‘Fellblade’ begins in the affected area!
Rattle! Rattle!
At that moment, black smoke spread and 17 skeletons popped out. In addition, ten zombies crawled out of the black mud and joined the skeletons.
Kieeeeh! Kieeeek!
The swarm of Lizardmen were instantly slaughtered without any resistance by their surprise attack amid the black smoke.
‘Nonsense! Even one Lizardman is as strong as a Werewolf-class monster. How can they kill it so easily? Wait a minute. Look at that bone! It looks like a Werebear. Is that a Weretiger?’
What happened next was more bizarre in Myongsu’s eyes. After the bones were separated from the Lizardmen’s corpses, they began to stick to the skeletons and zombies’ bodies.
‘Heavy armored zombies?’
The pile of bones became ‘full plate armor’ for the zombies.
At the same time, a certain message appeared before Myongsus eyes.
[Synergy List]
5) Ironclad Knights (Stage 3)
-Category: Armor synergy
-Condition: Install at least 30 ‘Full Plate Armor’
-Effect: Increases armor defense power (+20%) and forms a shield equivalent to 30% of defense power.
The same information message came out because they were in sync with Sungwoo.
‘Isn’t it the synergy of the Crusader Team? How can they get this advanced synergy so easily? I can’t believe this!”
Of course, Myongsu did not know the synergy of the Crusader Team.
The protective shields they were wearing were further strengthened by Junghoon’s exclusive skill, but at first glance it looked similar.
“Would you like some armor, too?” Sungwoo asked.
“Ah, we are archers, so we should wear it lightly…”
“The armor I make is lighter than you think.”
Then, Sungwoo almost forcibly put the bone armor on Myongsu’s archers.

5) Ironclad Knights (Stage 4)
-Category: Armor synergy
-Condition: At least 40 ‘Full Plate Armor’
-Effect: Increases armor defense power (+25%) and forms a shield equivalent to 35% of defense power.
‘Damn it! He wants something like a synergy shuttle, but it is definitely lighter than metal armor. This is a total scam.’
The heavy-armored undead army, who received such tremendous synergy, rushed toward twenty Lizardmen.
Rattle! Rattle!
‘But the leather hides of these Lizardmen are like armor. If we fight these Lizardmen in the swamps, we might be put on the defensive. This Necromancer doesn’t know that.’
Lizardmen’s leather was very thick and tough, so sharp weapons could not penetrate them well.
Pik! Pik! Pik!
As expected, even though Myongsu’s team fired a barrage of arrows, they couldn’t get their intended results.
“God damn it! We can’t penetrate them with these arrows. It’s successful if just one out of five arrows strike at the target.”
