Ch.155155. Debuff Master

*Whoosh-*

As the fan unfolds, its energy spreads across a 100-meter radius around me.

The wave that instantly disperses seeps into countless monsters.

“Keeee?”

The numerous petrified gargoyles that were flying around in rage and excitement momentarily pause.

The effect has been properly applied.

I didn’t miss that moment.

[Enemies’ ‘hearing’ is paralyzed for 10 seconds.]

“Kigigigigik-“

With the sound of stone being cut, a head splits in half.

The petrified gargoyle’s neck separates as its flying body crashes to the ground, and in that interval, I was able to take down several more petrified gargoyles.

Ten seconds is short, but at one per second…

Including the time to identify and move to the next target, I managed to take down six petrified gargoyles in total.

“KEEEEEEK!”

*Thud- Thud-*

The hundreds of kilograms of monsters falling from above hitting the ground was almost like a bombing raid.

“Not bad at all.”

It seems the gargoyles were detecting and responding to my movements through their hearing.

Come to think of it, it would be too slow to react visually or when I appear from blind spots, so their quick reactions had seemed strange.

With them unable to respond at all, dealing with them became much easier.

I should have used this earlier.

Of course, the fan has the slight disadvantage of only having a 1/5 probability.

*Whoosh-*

I unfold it once more.

[Enemies’ ‘vision’ is paralyzed for 10 seconds.]

This time it’s vision.

Will they react?

I leap to attack again, and sure enough, they respond to my neck attack by immediately twisting their bodies, just like before.

But perhaps due to staggering and changing course in that moment?

The gargoyle whose wing I slashed collided with another flying gargoyle, both taking heavy impacts and staggering before crashing into buildings or colliding with other petrified gargoyles, creating a spectacular scene.

“Wow. Seems like not being able to see is quite difficult for them.”

While they might detect attacks through hearing and respond instantly, flying seems to rely heavily on sight.

Though you’d think they could hear other gargoyles flying in their path.

Looking at the chaotic gargoyles, I flutter the fan twice this time.

Now that I’ve confirmed the fan’s performance, all that’s left is the hunt.

200 mana is consumed as I paralyze the petrified gargoyles’ senses.

[Enemies’ ‘smell’ is paralyzed for 10 seconds.]

[Enemies’ ‘hearing’ is paralyzed for 10 seconds.]

Infinite rerolls.

Using the fan until the gargoyles’ weakness—their hearing—is paralyzed, I reduce their numbers by several at a time during each 10-second window. Before long, the number of gargoyles flying in the sky has noticeably decreased.

More than half of the initial number?

And when the 20% probability stacks twice:

[Enemies’ ‘hearing’ is paralyzed for 10 seconds.]

[Enemies’ ‘hearing’ is paralyzed for 10 seconds.]

[Paralyzed senses stack and increase to 60 seconds.]

[Enemies are affected by ‘tinnitus’ for 60 seconds.]

“KEEEEEEEEK!!”

With the sudden onset of hearing paralysis and simultaneous ringing in their heads, the petrified gargoyles screech and struggle.

The sight of about twenty massive gargoyles still writhing and flying in the sky is pure terror from below.

But for me, it was like a perfectly laid out gargoyle buffet.

*Boom boom boom-*

No more petrified gargoyles could be seen in Yongin’s sky.

“Whew. That was intense.”

It wasn’t an easy raid.

Standing on a building rooftop, looking at the fallen gargoyles below, a strange yet novel feeling rises within me.

Urban warfare.

Monsters attacking the world I live in, fighting in a destroyed city.

After always seeing only the biomes of the farming world, fighting with reality as the backdrop inevitably feels strange.

But that feeling is fleeting, and I conclude that it was fun.

“The modern biome isn’t bad at all.”

Anyway, from my position as master of the Rift Dimension, Earth can be viewed as just another massive planetary biome of a lower dimension.

Just as I harvest resources in the Rift Dimension, I can gather resources on Earth and acquire and use various modern resources.

The advantage of being able to move between and use two dimensions.

I suspect there will be more battles like this in the future.

Even without looking, various articles and research results related to dungeon backflow indicate that over time, the backflow accelerates and higher-grade dungeons continue to reverse.

“Kill them!”

“Block the ones trying to escape first!”

“We’ll cover this side!”

“Let’s push them toward the dungeon!”

And then, voices of people in the quiet city.

With the battle started, ground combat also came into my view.

It seemed they had begun clearing the monsters on the ground now that I’d dealt with the petrified gargoyles.

The encirclement tightening from the outskirts of the city still brought tension to the fight against hundreds of monsters, raising doubts about victory, but with the S-rank monsters taken care of, Korea’s hunters should be able to handle it.

Perhaps I can leave this to them.

Standing out too much and showing off alone isn’t a good look.

I’ve already taken the most important and delicious parts, so giving others a chance to shine will prevent too much attention from focusing on me.

*Whoosh-*

Instead, I used the fan to help.

Though it doesn’t cover the entire city’s range.

Moving across buildings and using the fan on hunters who seem to be struggling turns the tide in their favor.

“Looks like things are wrapping up nicely.”

I muttered while looking at the empty sky.

The footage was already being recorded through my first-person camera.

During the fight with the gargoyles, Kim Soo-jung must have arrived, as several drone cameras were following me.

Some fell to the ground from the gargoyles’ violent attacks, but she must have brought quite a few, as cameras persistently captured the scenes, and after clearing the gargoyles, they followed me around filming me using the fan.

Even without that, the footage from my first-person perspective was plenty usable.

This footage was quite important.

Though I didn’t initially plan for this, thinking about it after the situation was resolved, this was a promotional opportunity that came without me having to stage it.

Moreover, all the people in Korea—and even people worldwide hearing about the S-rank dungeon backflow—are watching this footage.

In fact, my YouTube live stream had already surpassed 200 million viewers.

No other broadcast was as on-site or accurately conveying the situation as my YouTube stream.

Satellite broadcasts were also live, but the difference between watching via satellite and seeing it up close was quite significant.

Now that the gargoyles were dead, helicopters and more cameras arrived, but my YouTube had already absorbed viewers and subscriber counts were soaring.

– Wow, that’s insane.

– What’s that fan?

– Looks like it applies debuffs.

– Who is this person?

– Why is your channel called “Farmer Hunter” when you don’t farm but have other great abilities?

– Sword. Healer. Debuffer. Are these all the abilities revealed so far?

– Can someone normally have this many abilities?

In this world, success comes from excelling in just one ability.

Having two or three abilities is extraordinary.

It’s not that there are no hunters with more than two abilities, but there has never been a case where all those abilities were of high rank.

– What exactly is your ability rank?

– Is it really SSS+?

Seeing the many chat messages, I continued applying debuffs without answering.

And for hunters who were injured or severely wounded, I used healing.

A hunter who shows how to feed rather than directly killing!

Hunters infused with healing light recover their vitality perfectly, boosting their morale and making them charge more passionately to kill monsters.

The battle that began during the day was wrapping up as midnight approached.

“Waaaaaah-!”

In the quiet city.

People who had been hiding here and there turned on lights and illuminated the darkness with their phones.

A city that could have become a city of death—a dungeon itself—was filled with midnight cheers.

We won.

We stopped the S-rank dungeon backflow.

And with our own strength.

I heard that around evening, support came from American hunters along with those from Japan and China, but they didn’t need to step in.

Well, we’ll have to pay for requesting support and having them come all this way, but it looks better to say we handled it with our own strength rather than receiving help.

And in reality, no additional hunter casualties occurred.

I did work hard moving around saving those who might have died.

My heart swelled with emotion at the desperate cheers.

For a long time.

The viewership grew and grew, surpassing 300 million, giving me a level of attention I’ll never experience again in my life.

Swallowing the slight choke in my voice, I said:

“Without this S-rank artifact, Yongin might have disappeared from the map and been renamed as an S-rank backflow dungeon.”

– ??

– What?

– Suddenly…

“In five days. Gwangjin Distribution VIP Auction. Those who want to become debuffers, please participate.”

With that clean ending message, I ended the broadcast.
