Attack – Defense (2)

It was quite a coincidence that I found that strategy.

As usual, I took some time during my break to do ‘103rd Tower’ and then took off the VR device. When I turned off the game, Finzan flew as if waiting.

“Does the coach still play that game?”

“Hey, how fun is this.”

I said to the back of the head that protruded from the chair in front of me. Looking around, he was the only one practicing during the break. Well, it’s probably going to be the best place to stay.

Although it was common to see cases where he chose what he liked the most, he was rarely blessed with talents as well.

“While I do that, I focus on my main job. This is also a game.”

“It’s bullshit. Is doing what I do myself the same as watching other people do it?”

“Ummm… I guess so.”

For a moment, there was only the sound of pounding and moving the keyboard and mouse.

“But it may be closed soon.”

“Why? Tired?”

“No, that’s not it. The ending is a little off, but it’s too hard to attack.”

I got up from my seat and watched the game he was playing. While conversing with me, he was casually pressing the opponent without even having a chance to breathe.

“It’s an element that becomes extremely difficult in the second half if left alone, but there is a limit to control alone to clear it in the direction I want.”

“What quest is it?”

“Do you mean defense? There are many waves of enemies coming in, but after the defense, the next battle is forcibly entered. Oh, slowly pull back.”

At my words, he immediately pulled the troops back. Then, a step later, two items appeared at once from the top and bottom, which had been obscured from view. It was a moment when the war almost turned upside down.

“…Hey, after all, it’s a ghost. How do you figure this out?”

Hearing the voice saying he was tired, I explained as I felt my shoulders go up.

“Because there is still a possibility that the opponent will turn around. I thought that the moment I invested in that possibility would be now.”

“Hmmmm… But in the end, you didn’t get scammed this time too, did you?

“A scam? What a scam?”

“Well, it’s a game like the 103rd tower. It’s because there’s no proper game, even if it’s called Freedom God Game when promoting. If you can’t even proceed with the quest, it’s all exaggerated advertisements.”

“Hey, you try…”

I was furious and tried to retort, but I shut my mouth.

That’s right.

There was no need to proceed with the quest there.

I opened my eyes involuntarily. I reflexively checked the time and it was 9:30. Fortunately, there were no incidents of oversleeping.

“What a sudden memory of the past….”

Maybe you’re nervous Touching her hand was a little cold and long.

Anyway, this was my first time doing the main quest. It’s not possible to save or load, because he’s aware that he only has one chance. At least I have a ‘strong mind’, so I won’t be nervous enough to cause abnormalities in my behavior.

I got up from bed to catch the night breeze to wake up. When I went down to the first floor and went outside, I heard a sound from somewhere.

Looking over there, I could see the shadow moving quickly.

Whoo! Every time you swing the sword, it makes a sound of breaking the wind. Its sound is so clean that even an outsider can recognize that he has talent.

“Because it’s Plum, why are you already losing your strength?”

As I approached with Finzan, the sound of the wind stopped. The sound of harsh breathing turned around. It wasn’t the place where her light was shining, so her face was hard to see.

“…I was a little anxious, so I kept falling asleep.”

“Is that so? But it is.”

It was difficult to see because it was in the dark, but Park Noah had already changed into a battle suit. She wasn’t wearing a school uniform, but wearing black tights that fit her body with a large radius of action.

I heard the sound of inserting the sword as if it was going to stop sooner or later. Noah Park approached me and asked.

“Did you eat?”

“No. I just slept.”

“Hmm. Are you sleeping more than you look?”

As I headed home, I followed suit. However, when Noah Park appeared in the dark to a place where there was a light, she could see that the tights exposed outside her clothes were soaked, even though she did not know when she started moving.

‘Will my stamina hold up?’

I was worried that I might have paid more attention to it earlier.

“…I’ll be out all day, won’t I feel uncomfortable because of sweat?”

“It’s okay to have extra clothes. There’s still time left to wash.”

I didn’t mean it in that sense, but… Well, it looks ok.

“What about Arwell?”

“One of Rihanna’s strengths is that she sleeps anywhere.”

It sounds like you’re still sleeping in your room. I’m glad I did. When I went up to the second floor and stood in front of the door, Noah Park looked back at me and asked.

“Is the departure 11 o’clock?”

“Yeah. It’s 10 o’clock now, so let’s get ready soon.”

Noah Park left me alone and went into the room alone, and heard footsteps moving from inside.

Noah Park poked her head out the door and threw something. As he reflexively stretched out his arm, something round came into his hand.

It was a rice ball wrapped in foil. The warmth was still felt.

I said with a smirk.

“It’s more about eating than sleeping.”

Noah Park said that and closed the door. I also went into my room and put on my gear. He put on his gloves, put on a holster, loaded his bullets…, and finally kicked the engine blades around his waist.

It was a little past 10:30 by the time I made a simple meal with rice balls. As I walked out the door, I heard the doorknob turning next to me at the same time.

Noah Park, who had a little water on her hair, and Arwell, who still looked sleepy, appeared.

I looked at them and closed the door.

“let’s go.”

10:35 p.m.

We started moving north where the 4th base is located.

“There are a lot of footprints.”

Noah Park leaned down and looked at the floor. There were also footprints in various shapes on the road that was opened from any moment while moving to the north. Since they are not in the shape of human feet, of course, they were all evidence of the movement of demons.

“It seems that everyone has flocked to the 4th point.”

“···Um? What is that?”

Noah Park suddenly looked at a place and said. There was a space where the moonlight fell in the middle of the forest. This is where the Hidden Streets I cleared are created. The Hidden Piece you can get there is already in my chest.

“It’s just the moonlight. We don’t have time to relax, so let’s go quickly.”

“Uh…, okay.”

At my prompt, Noah Park moved.

‘For now, skip the Hidden Street event.’

I said it would take about four hours, but I think I’ll get to my destination sooner than expected. Before long, we were able to reach the vicinity of Point 4.

And saw it.

“That’s….”

Black smoke rises upwards like a brush stroke over the gap in the moonlight. Noah Park, who witnessed the scene, said to me.

“It’s erosion. It’s energy flowing from the gate, so why do you see that?”

“…that’s probably why the demons are flocking to it.”

“Does that make sense…? The demons keep coming, so you say you’ve left it alone?”

“Well. You’ll find out if you go there yourself.”

Noah Park seems a little angry with the villagers of the 4th base. With this, it became clear that we had entered the route of [identifying the cause].

I led Noah Park and Arwell and stopped on a hill in a slightly different direction from the 4th point. At the unusual structure and height, Arwell asked while looking towards the top.

“…here?”

“Come up.”

It is an artificially cut hill. There are almost no curved slopes, so it slipped if you were a little careless. Still, I was able to get up.

‘As he said, I looked around and found a place like this.’

Park Noah also grabbed Arwell’s hand and climbed up somehow. As she climbed up to a high place, she could see the scenery around her at a glance. From the 4th point seen from afar, I could see an explicit black energy flowing out. Just by looking at how deep the energy was, I was becoming reluctant.

Park Noah looked at it and bit her lip.

“So what are we going to do?”

It’s a bit of a nervous tone. You must have been a little annoyed because I brought you here without even explaining it on purpose. I put down my backpack and said quietly.

“We do not enter the 4th base, and we reduce the number of demons here.”

Noah Park questioned my words.

“I mean. What if the siege continues like this? It’s over without anyone to help?”

“It won’t happen. Rather, it would be nice if the demons didn’t ignore us.”

defense.

This is a type of quest where you have to block the waves of enemies coming in. Paradoxically, the final thing to protect against the wave was the gate, which was the cause of this wave.

Aggro was attracted to the gate, so all eyes would not be drawn to us on such a high hill. Intercept the enemies here and reduce the number of supplies.

Since it is a hardcore difficulty, there will be a limit to blocking the wave only at the 4th point. Before we reach there, we need to reduce the number of monsters in advance so that it will be easier to block them from the 4th base.

“And I’m going to take a device to keep it from coming up here anyway.”

These surfaces and slopes that are difficult to simply climb. If you wet it with water and even freeze it, there is no way to approach it unless it is a flying monster.

‘You can shoot the one that flies.’

The reason I found this expedient is that if I finish the defense in the village, I have already entered the [Identify the cause] route, so I had to fight the suddenly eroded villagers and Awakeneds.

It was an impossible attack to break only the gate without killing them in a state where the stamina had already fallen.

Here, by reducing the number of monsters included in the wave, he succeeds in defense and endures until the morning when the energy of erosion fades. And then my plan was to aim and destroy the gate.

Of course, it was physically a problem because we had to fight all night, but if we endure with endurance, we will somehow manage it. Above all, among Arwell’s perks, ‘reduces fatigue.’ It had an effect.

“I…. Noah-nim, Seo Ji-han.”

Arwell, who was quietly looking around, called us with an anxious voice.

“Strange smells are just starting to mix…”

That meant one thing.

“···come.”

Woo-.

A terrifying sound was heard from somewhere. At the signal of Arwell’s words, the ground slowly rumbles. The horizon under the moon began to wriggle and move.

Continue.

All those moving shadows were the army of demons.

“This…is it more than you think?”

Noah Park murmurs. Whoa. Is it also hardcore? I expected it to be like this, but when it happens, I get nervous too.

“We can’t stop that army at the fourth base. We have to reduce the amount as much as possible.”

“—Rian.”

At Noah Park’s words, the clothes that Rian was wearing fell off, and the light was caught in Noah Park’s hands. And what appeared was a bow with a blue light.

The vibration gradually increased, and the appearance of the monsters began to appear in an instant before our eyes. There were so many different types of goblins, wolves, minotaurs, and golems.

Park Noah pointed the bow upwards and pulled the protest.

“Then I’ll shoot first.”

“Anyway.”

Whoa! Mana arrows appear on the bowstring. Soon, arrows soared into the sky along with the sound of the protesters ricocheting.

Then a blue light flashed in the air, and rain of arrows began to fall.

Doo doo doo-!

The screams of demons are heard. Hearing that sound, I pulled out my gun. The privilege has not been activated because it has not yet entered the battle phase.

‘Still not enough. Soul iron.’

Soul season flowed from the inside of my sleeve, mixed into the Assault Wolf’s barrel. I pointed the long barrel and pulled the trigger at random.

Since there are so many, even if you pull them randomly, you can see some of them getting pierced by bullets and dying. Because the explosive function of the bullet was also strengthened, the nearby jockeys were also swept away by the explosion and were injured.

“Jihan! Coming up!”

Park Noah, who was pulling the protests in succession, called out urgently. He was about to climb the hill, probably because the monsters nearby had attracted him to aggro. Of course, it’s not that easy to climb, but if you leave it as it is, they will step on each other and build up the tower.

“I’ll fix it, so don’t worry and keep intercepting.”

I took a mana potion out of my backpack. Then, with the stopper removed, he put it in his mouth and rolled up both sleeves. The mana rod is clearly drawn on the forearm.

Now it was time to get to work.
