Raid Start

The three days flew by in a flash, and my first raid debut day arrived.

I arrived 30 minutes earlier than the appointed time and watched the guild members preparing for the raid, and I also prepared for the raid.

I checked the doping and food that I had prepared with Pinku Berry for today’s raid.

[Abyss Entrance] is the first raid to come out of Leore.

[Abyss Entrance], which came out as an 8-person raid for those who are not familiar with it, has only one boss.

In other words, it is a raid that is cleared by catching only one boss.

It’s a raid that’s been out for a while, so the damage isn’t that important, but since my equipment is completely newbie equipment, I prepared thoroughly.

“Is everyone ready? Does anyone need more time?”

“Everyone’s ready!”

Soonchu nodded with a smile.

“Okay. Let’s go!”

Everyone took the portal and went to the front of [Abyss Entrance].

The raid map that appeared after coming to the cave, valley, and entrance looked like a corrupted Yuuni salt desert.

Red and clear sky and calm and shallow water reflecting such a sky. It was a spectacle.

If I had come just to see nature, I would have admired it and looked around, but this is a raid location.

In other words, there is a boss.

I can’t see the boss even if I look around. What is it? Is it a method where the boss appears when you get close?

The party members are just standing still without saying anything. That doesn’t mean there’s a problem.

While I was wondering what to do, a huge vibration rang out.

Kuung.

When I looked up at the place where I thought the vibration started, there was a crack in the sky.

The vibration rang out again.

Kuung!

A bigger vibration and an ominous sound were heard than before.

Jjeojeong!

The crack in the sky stretched out like a tree branch and then broke. A hole was created in the sky. A huge hand came out of the broken hole and grabbed both sides of the hole and forcibly stretched the hole as it was.

Tteudeudeuㅡdeuk!

A grotesque giant raid boss crawled out of the enlarged hole like the horror movie Ring I had seen before.

I quickly looked at the raid boss.

This is because you can usually infer the concept of this raid, the boss’s abilities, attacks, and gimmicks from the appearance of the boss.

The boss is a boss without legs like the last maggot boss. There doesn’t seem to be much related to movement, but I don’t know how to explain it.

It feels a bit like a Moai statue, but it’s made of intertwined tree roots instead of stones.

This time, it seems like there is a gimmick where the tree roots move like tentacles.

Since there doesn’t seem to be any more information to find out, I have to start the raid.

I immediately used the system provided by the raid to check the battle preparations.

Ttiring! With a sound, I checked the battle preparation confirmation for all the party members.

As soon as everyone pressed the confirm button, 8 people ready for battle appeared in front of me.

As soon as the preparation was over, Soonchu, the tanker of party 1, rushed forward.

He immediately used the taunt skill towards the raid boss [Abyss Gatekeeper], and the boss looked at Soonchu and moved.

I quickly narrowed the distance with the boss and raised my sword while stretching my right foot forward.

I used the ultra-fast [Continuous Strike] buff 10 stack accumulation that I learned for this raid.

First, I used [Square Quadler], which has a short pre-delay and post-delay, to accumulate 4 stacks, and starting with the action of the skill ending, I immediately used [Pentagon] to unleash 5 consecutive attacks and accumulate 9 stacks.

Now this is important. You have to cancel the post-delay of [Pentagon] with a normal attack and use [Annihilation Strike].

While playing Leore, I became completely familiar with Leore’s system.

Leore basically doesn’t have complete freedom of the body like reality. There is a stiffness system, a vibration system, and pre-delay and post-delay.

It’s not a system where skills are activated immediately just by pressing them like a normal RPG game.

Here, there is something called post-delay cancellation.

That is, when the post-delay caused by an action and the posture of the pre-delay of the next action are the same, the post-delay and pre-delay proceed together.

In other words, you can use time very efficiently.

This is one of the skills that is often used when doing PVP. I didn’t know, but it’s information I found while watching various things about PVP on RyuTube.

In PVP, 1 minute and 1 second is important, and even a very short amount of time is very important. That time determines victory or defeat.

That’s why post-delay cancellation is quite important. But it’s very, very difficult to apply this, even though it’s called cancellation.

The reason is that you have to turn off [Battle Correction].

[Battle Correction] uses a fixed attack in a fixed place in a consistent manner, just like a PC RPG, the moment you cast a skill.

However, the moment you turn off [Battle Correction], you have to use skills according to your own will from start to finish.

The problem is that if you exceed the area that the system cannot recognize when using a skill, the skill will automatically disappear.

So, to cancel the post-delay, you have to make an attack that doesn’t deviate from the system. And you have to match the finishing posture of that attack with the pre-delay of another skill intentionally, which is ridiculously difficult.

For this reason, no matter how much of a hardcore player you are, you can only do about two skills in a row that you think are possible to cancel the post-delay.

But I was different.

Iarang’s body, no, my body was different from the senses. Is it because those senses are concentrated because I don’t have arms and legs?

It’s basic that the information in front of me is seen in detail and slowly, and I can even feel the limitations of Leore’s system.

I can feel how far the system allows the movement of the skill, so starting with [Square Quadler], ending with [Pentagon], and finally [Annihilation Strike], I canceled all the post-delays and blasted the boss so naturally as if water was flowing.

On the meter, my graph went up as if it would break through the meter. And at that moment.

The boss turned around and looked at me.

“Euek?”

And then he shot a tank buster at me.

The boss shot a beam in a large fan shape, not just a single attack, and 7 party members including me, except for Soonchu who was on the opposite side because he was the main tanker, died.

==

“Wow… Arang-ah, you’re really crazy. How does that kind of damage come out?”

Soonchu was dumbfounded by the aggro he had lost even though he had used all the aggro-related skills.

He had never lost aggro while raiding, so he was even more surprised by the current situation.

“As expected, it’s Arang-nim. I never imagined that I would lose in the opening damage competition.”

Footlicker couldn’t believe that he had lost in the raid start opening damage to a Sword Master, who is a normal dealer, not a pure dealer like his job, Grim Reaper or Magician.

“I’m sorry… I tried using a new damage cycle this time, but the burst damage was stronger than I thought.”

“I’ll use the aggro skill and pass the aggro to Soonchu-nim. It’s a shame not to do it when you can deal this much damage.”

“That’s right, that’s right!”

Arm Length 10cm talked about the tactics at the first opening, and everyone nodded.

-Wow, this is so absurd. It’s absurd.

-At this point, shouldn’t they nerf Soma? Is that opening damage right? lol

-Soma was actually a pure dealer?

-Soma gives bonus stats to the entire party, but if the damage is also strong lol

The party’s progress went smoothly.

Since only intuitive gimmicks are coming out so far, the Arang party is making steady progress.

Basically, the Arang party members are skilled enough to finish farming up to the latest raid, so they can’t help but make good progress because they perform Arang’s instructions without making a single mistake.

-Arang is so cute, I’m going crazy

-Honestly, she’s so pretty

-She’s good at games, she’s pretty, she’s young, she’s crazy

-The reason why Kang Han Gil has been so popular recently is thanks to our Arang lol

-But at this rate, we’ll be able to get to this raid quickly?

As time passed and the boss’s HP was 1% left, the boss stopped still and used a gimmick by scattering tree seeds around.

And after a while, the seeds bloomed into flowers, and the flowers moved and crawled to the boss.

-It’s the last wipe gimmick

-If you see this for the first time, you don’t know anything

-If you don’t know, you have to die lol

Arang ordered the party members to remove as many flowers as possible. But the party members who were removing the flowers collapsed and died, and eventually the party was wiped out.

Arang saw the wipe gimmick for the first time and, unlike the first try, she didn’t say anything, stuck her sword into the ground, and fell into thought.

Everyone looked at Arang-i, who was lost in thought, without saying anything.

A very serious expression. But everyone was looking at Arang-i cutely.

At that time, Arang’s Footlicker was…

‘You’re, you’re so cute…! H, how, how! Pick her up in that state and tickle her feet…! I must show Arang how good I am and ask her to touch my feet when we meet at the regular meeting.’

Of course, he has no intention of doing it by force. Footlicker respects Arang and will follow Arang’s choice.

That’s why Footlicker wanted to meet Arang even more.
