Chapter 35 – A Trivial Raid

Read on ​KatReadin​gCafe

The raid group was wiped out by the final raid boss’s desperate pattern.

Quite an annoying boss. A gimmick that causes a wipe at 1% HP. This means that even when farming later, if you fail here, you have to start all over again.

This kind of thing makes it a considerably bothersome raid.

First, let’s think about the boss’s gimmick.

A maggot-like boss made of tree roots suddenly scattered seeds in all directions from the tree roots, and flowers were born from them.

It didn’t seem like just flowers; the root parts of the flowers began to move and walked towards the boss.

No matter how I looked at it, it seemed like those flowers shouldn’t enter the boss, so I told the raid members to deal with the flowers.

But the raid members attacked the flowers and suddenly collapsed and died.

Are we not supposed to catch the flowers? But no matter how I looked at it, it seemed like a gimmick that had to be caught.

For now, no matter how much I think about it, I can’t confirm it in the current state. Then, what I need to see now is the recorded video.

But instead of stopping the recording and playing the saved video to check the situation just now, there’s something much easier.

I ran to Mister Kang Hangil.

“Mister.”

“Oh. What is it? Do you need something?”

“Let me watch the live broadcast video for a moment.”

“Okay. I’ll give you the authority.”

If it’s being broadcast live, it’s quite convenient because you can easily go back a few seconds or minutes.

I grabbed the camera above Mister Kang Hangil and pulled it towards me.

-Arang! Arang! Arang! Arang! Arang!

-Kya, Great Arang!

-LOLOLOLOLOLOL so cute

-Just looking at it makes me laugh LOLOLOLOLOL

-From now on, this broadcast belongs to Lee Arang! LOLOLOLOLOL

-Good good

-Arang, marry me!

-This is it for today! LOLOLOLOLOL

-Her face is a scam

Perhaps because my face filled the broadcast, the viewers’ chat exploded in an instant.

“Hello everyone~ Long time no see, right?”

-Yes!

-Arang hi~

-Hello!

-ArangILoveYouArangILoveYouArangILoveYou

I greeted Mister’s viewers simply and opened Mister’s broadcast menu and moved the video’s time backward.

I turned it back to the time when the last gimmick occurred and examined it in detail.

The moment the seeds were scattered, a very subtle aura seemed to burst out from the boss’s mob.

And when I saw the debuff that appeared in the status window on the 11 o’clock side of Mister Kang Hangil’s view, I nodded.

This is it.

What’s funny is that Mister Kang Hangil kindly checked the debuff and opened the debuff window on the screen.

[Abyssal Crimson]

[Death occurs when 3 stacks are reached.]

A simple and concise debuff description that death occurs when 3 stacks are reached. Continuing to watch the video, I realized that the colors of the flowers the boss scattered were red and blue.

Mister Kang Hangil attacked one of the red flowers at my command.

[Abyssal Crimson] X2

The debuff increased, and after attacking the next red flower, he died as it reached 3 stacks.

I immediately put down the camera, stopped my video, and examined the recorded video.

Looking at the timing of when the debuff occurred, a different blue debuff from Mister’s appeared in my status window.

As I thought, if I caught the blue flowers with my debuff, the stacks would increase, and if I caught the red flowers, the debuff would disappear.

In other words, this gimmick is a gimmick where you have to attack and kill only the flowers of the opposite color to your own color.

It’s okay to attack flowers of the same color as your debuff, but you can only attack twice.

Still, it’s a relief that you don’t die immediately.

I told the raid members the pattern solution of the gimmick I had thought of and started the raid try again.

I already remembered all the minor attack patterns of the boss that I was familiar with, and everyone knew them, so it progressed smoothly to 1%.

The boss used the gimmick that wiped us out again, and I quickly checked my debuff and quickly erased the flowers that had the opposite color to me.

The raid members also quickly erased them, preventing even a single flower from entering the boss.

As soon as the gimmick ended, the boss fell to the ground.

“Did we get it? Ah…!”

I finished speaking and immediately covered my mouth with my left hand. As if responding to the words I blurted out without realizing it, the boss began to wriggle and extend tree roots in all directions at a tremendous speed.

‘Flag recovery is incredibly fast!’

“Everyone, defend!”

I immediately drew my beloved sword, the Taseom Sword.

Even though the boss was far away, the boss’s tree root attacks surged right in front of me.

In preparation for the attack, I slightly bent my knees to lower my center of gravity and firmly planted my feet, which Arang’s Foot Licker likes, on the solid floor.

The boss’s tree roots attacking me.

“Huu…!”

I took a deep breath and clenched my right hand tightly. The moment the tree roots reached in front of me, I focused on my eyes.

The time flowing by slowly flowed, and the information in front of me entered my brain in detail.

My brain throbbed from the unexpectedly large amount of information, but I had no intention of giving up here.

I first moved my body greatly to the right and avoided the cluster of tree root attacks, and then forcibly inserted the Taseom Sword between the attack trajectories of the tree roots that had reached right in front of me.

KAAAAANG! An intense parrying sound and effect that shook my brain erupted. I was about to attempt to parry the next attack.

My right arm didn’t move due to the vibration.

‘Ah, right. The stun system…!’

I was about to take the next action, but I panicked at my unmoving right arm, and the next attack quickly approached.

If I tried to evade in the current state or sacrificed my arms and legs, which I often used, I wouldn’t be able to avoid the boss’s attack and would die.

In short, I would die.

I was told that the stun system would be changed, but I carelessly took the boss’s attack alone without thinking.

Since it’s Newbie equipment anyway, the difference in specs between me and the boss is so great that the stun doesn’t seem to be released.

The moment I was about to close my eyes tightly at the tree roots coming to kill me, a sacred and warm light embraced me.

KWAAAAAAAANG!!!

At the moment I thought I would die, Mister Arm Length 10cm’s skill entered me, and I survived.

My HP didn’t decrease by 1, and Mister Arm Length’s HP was cut in half. It seems he used a skill among the paladin job skills that takes the hit instead.

Thanks to that, I survived without dying and rushed at the boss.

A blue impact enveloped the Taseom Sword, and using the revenge buff that remained due to the forced parrying, I stabbed the Taseom Sword into the body of the boss who was desperately struggling.

The boss, who had become feeble unlike before, withered away as soon as he was attacked, and the remaining 1% HP disappeared and exploded.

[Abyss Entrance] Completed

The first raid ended more trivially than I thought.

Even though it’s the first raid, it was made too trivially. But then again, thinking about it, it would be strange for the first raid in a virtual world game to be difficult.

I need to change my thinking.

No matter how much I pretend not to know, the raid members have been to this raid so many times that they naturally avoid patterns, attack well, and follow my words too well, so it feels trivial.

In this case, it would be much more fun for each other to go to a raid where we all know nothing.

I was originally going to gradually climb up from the first raid, but I should just climb up to the latest raid.

==

Inside, a glass wall that can’t be seen from the inside but can only be seen from the outside, there was a huge rectangular connector that reached the ceiling in the hospital room, combined with a bed.

Lee Anna was looking at her younger sister, Arang, who was lying on the bed connected to the connector.

Numerous monitoring electrodes checking Arang’s condition and the connector surrounding Arang’s eyes and neck.

Anyone who saw it would think that it wouldn’t be strange if she died right away, but Anna was happier than ever.

Arang used to be in a virtual world in a pure white space with nothing, doing nothing and just being like a doll all day long.

However, starting with Leore, Arang began to open her eyes and move. Not only did she simply move, but she also began to regain her former self.

From some point on, she wanted to go outside herself and was working hard on rehabilitation training.

On the large screen hanging on the wall, Arang is seen laughing and talking with people while being held in the arms of her friend Eunji.

Seeing Eunji stroking her younger sister Arang’s head, hugging her tightly, and so on, Anna was slightly angry.

The only time Arang can be met is in reality. When she’s in reality, Arang is not yet used to the reality of having no arms and legs, so she becomes a gloomy Arang, making it difficult to do such things.

‘Arang is my younger sister…’

Looking at the screen now, she felt a slight jealousy at the situation where her friend Eunji looked like her real older sister rather than herself.

‘Should I do Leore too…’

But there were so many things to do now.

In order for Arang to be happy in that world without any worries, there were many things she had to do.

‘Just… just entrusting her for a while.’

Anna quickly decided that she would finish her work quickly and definitely get Arang back, and after looking at the happy-looking Arang, she left the hospital room to go back to work.
