Ch. 23 Stiffness System?
by AfuhfuihgsChapter 23 – Stiffness System?
The start is naturally with Soonchu, the Tank.
Soonchu swung his massive axe, reliably drawing the aggro of the mobs. Seeing that face and body wielding such a huge axe was somewhat cool.
The moment all the mobs were focused on Soonchu, Hangilnim and I started dealing damage, and the monsters quickly vanished into particles.
Unless there were gimmicks to the boss, the monsters couldn’t withstand the damage from Hangilnim and me, so they were swept away, and the speed of advancing through the dungeon was very fast.
Soonchu, seeing the monsters being swept away without any problems, gradually increased the number of monsters he was pulling.
Usually, when using the RPG dungeon matching system, according to the words of the wise Jirorosensei from that famous manga, there is always one person who tries hard but lacks skill, has a tofu-like mentality, plays solo in a party game, or has a twisted personality.
But since we were all acquaintances forming a party, and those people were all good at LEORE, the trash mob sections were just a high-pass.
As we simply deleted the monsters while passing through, a large area unfolded.
If the area until now felt like an ominous universe, this place felt like a swamp in space.
A field that looked like it would inflict an movement speed reduction debuff, with a bizarre creature standing in the center.
[Abyss ???]
A boss whose exact name isn’t even given.
It looked like a hunched human, but its upper body was disproportionately large, and instead of a face, there were countless tree roots moving like tentacles.
“What should we do?”
Soonchu spoke first.
We needed to be cautious of gimmicks now. Just like the near-death experience from the boss’s two-hit combo in the previous dungeon, there would definitely be dangerous gimmicks in this dungeon as well.
Especially the Tank Buster, which we had to block the boss’s dark light-emitting attack pattern without any accidents.
“First, let’s get through the first Tank Buster with a survival skill, and the second Tank Buster with an invincibility skill.”
“Okay~”
“Hangilnim, please focus on dealing as much damage as possible, and Pink Berry Unnie, focus on healing rather than damage.”
“Okay.”
Everyone nodded at my words, picked up their weapons, checked their respective doping and buffs, and I shouted a word I had always wanted to say.
“Leeroy~”
“”…?””
“What’s wrong? Why does everyone look like that?”
Soonchu spoke to me in disbelief.
“How does Arang know that?”
“Ah…”
I just entered the boss room ahead of Soonchu without thinking and said it on a whim, but I blurted it out without much thought.
“That’s almost a 50-year-old meme. Wow, I only learned about it while browsing RyuTube.”
“I, I also heard it while browsing RyuTube. It looked fun, so….”
“I guess. That’s possible.”
As Soonchu ran forward with his massive axe, the boss let out a bizarre cry and charged at Soonchu.
“Yahoo!”
Soonchu easily blocked the tree root attacks coming at him.
“Aggro secured!”
At Soonchu’s words, Hangilnim and I ran forward and started dealing damage.
While still proceeding with a bit of tension due to the basic attack patterns.
“Guweoreoregeㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!”
A roar that distorted faces just by hearing it echoed loudly in the wide space, and a debuff window popped up with a dinging sound.
The floor began to feel sticky, and a terrible debuff of -30% movement speed was applied.
It didn’t directly deal damage, but it was quite uncomfortable that my body, which had been moving as I wanted, was no longer moving freely.
It didn’t seem possible to remove the debuff with Pink Berry’s debuff removal skill alone. It wasn’t that the boss had applied a debuff to us, but the debuff was created by changing the field itself.
Instead of the debuff duration decreasing, it was continuously being extended. In other words, unless we left this field itself, we would have to continue with this debuff.
But it wouldn’t just make us receive debuffs like this. There must be a solution. We had to find it.

Arang Arang Gathering. Clearing the Abyss Valley. [6421]
-What was the gimmick there again?
-It’s been so long since I’ve seen it that I don’t even remember lol
-But seriously, when you look at Middle School 2nd Year Arang’s meter, she’s not human. How does she deal that much damage with a Sword Master?
-True, she uses Parrying so well that Revenge explodes constantly lol. And maintaining Chain Attack is impossible
-How do you even maintain Chain Attack? Was it possible to stack that 10 times?
The boss’s swamp pattern continued to maintain the debuff, and not long after the boss’s head entered the swamp, everyone in the Arang Party forcibly stopped in their tracks.
Because the swamp suddenly solidified.
-Ah, right, that was the pattern lol
-If you don’t know it, you have to get hit lol
-Is this a wipe?
-It’s a wipe after all lol
“Ugyak!?”
Arang, who died due to the boss’s gimmick attack, screamed and revived.
-Ugyak lol The scream is so cute lol
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ugyak ugyak ugyak ugyak ugyak lol
“Arang, what should we do!?”
“Hmm… Let me think for a moment.”
Arang stuck her sword into the ground and began to think deeply. Seeing that, Soonchu and Pink Berry circled around Arang, taking screenshots.
-Look at that serious expression lol
-Middle School Girl Guild Leader, how will she handle this gimmick!
-Wasn’t it originally standing in a straight line and the Tank taking all the party member attacks alone?
-Yeah, it attacks all party members one by one with a straight line attack, and the Tank can use an invincibility skill to take all the damage alone
“Since the boss uses a straight line attack on the party members one by one… Hmm… How about we try this?”
The method Arang came up with was to have the Tank Soonchu at 12 o’clock centered on the boss, the ranged dealer Kang Hangil, and herself at 6 o’clock.
Since I, as a melee dealer, wouldn’t be able to deal damage if I was just in a straight line in one place, Arang herself would stay away from the main party and deal damage next to the boss.
-lol She’s trying to block an attack that kills even the Tank if they don’t use a survival skill
-Ah~ Another one is going
-But can you survive if you parry that? Even the Tank dies without care
-In the first place, it’s not just a single attack, but a barrage of tree roots, is parrying even possible?
-Haven’t you seen Arang parry the Queen Spider Tank Buster?
-No, that was like an 8-hit combo, but this is like shooting with a gun, how can you do it lol
The try starts again.
It flowed smoothly like before, and the boss once again raised its hand high. Soonchu, Pink Berry, and Kang Hangil quickly moved in a straight line in front of the boss, and Arang stood behind the boss, slashing the boss at an incredible attack speed.
The boss’s attack first headed to 12 o’clock.
The tree roots like tentacles on the boss’s head poured out like arrows.
Soonchu received the attack with his whole body without any problems thanks to the Tank’s survival skill and the Healer’s care. He blocked three consecutive attacks, using a survival skill for one and invincibility for the remaining attacks.
To make the final attack, the boss turned its body, looked at Arang, and poured out the same attack as before.
At that moment when everyone thought Arang would die.
Arang parried all the attacks coming from the right with the sword in her right arm, and boldly gave up on attacks that couldn’t be blocked.
In a situation where she would have to die if she had just taken the attacks, Arang bent her left elbow, protecting her head, heart, and upper body.
The tree root attacks pierced Arang’s lower body and left arm countless times, but all the vital points were avoided, and the right arm holding the most important weapon was intact.
Usually, the body would be stunned the moment such an attack is allowed, but Arang didn’t get stunned and dodged the boss’s last attack by twisting her body and immediately attacked the boss using Revenge.
-Is that even possible???
-What, what did I just see?
-No, it’s absurd that she survived, but why didn’t she get stunned in the first place?
-Is it a bug? No, are there any bugs other than text bugs in LEORE?
-Seriously, is Arang really a 15-year-old Middle School Girl? Even if she doesn’t feel pain, that impact must be no joke
-At this point, isn’t she someone who went to another world and came back?
Stun System.
In LEORE, there is a stun system caused by damage.
When attacked, vibrations occur in that area, and if you receive a lot of damage, the vibrations in that area become large and stun occurs.
In Arang’s case just now, stun should have occurred as vibrations spread starting from her left arm and left leg.
However, since Arang’s brain, which basically doesn’t have a left arm and left leg in reality, couldn’t recognize the stun coming from her left arm and left leg, the stun was nullified.
The vibrations and after-delay from parrying occur throughout the body, so Arang also gets affected, but she ignored the stun starting from specific parts, that is, her arms and legs.
Arang can imagine moving her arms and legs starting from the brain without any problems, but she can’t recognize the stun starting from her arms and legs and reaching the brain, so a childish and sneaky situation like a rainbow reflection occurred.
