Stagger System?

The start is naturally with Soonchu-nim, the tank.

Soonchu-nim swung his massive axe, reliably drawing aggro from the mobs. Seeing that face and body wielding such a huge axe was kinda cool.

The moment all the mobs were definitely focused on Soonchu-nim, Hanggil-nim and I started dealing damage, and the monsters quickly turned into particles and vanished.

Unless there were boss mechanics, the monsters couldn’t withstand Hanggil-nim’s and my damage, so they were swept away, and the speed of advancing through the dungeon was very fast.

Soonchu-nim, seeing the monsters being swept away without any problems, gradually increased the amount of monsters he was pulling.

Usually, when using the RPG dungeon matching system, according to the words of the wise Jiroro-sensei from that famous manga, there’s always one person who tries hard but lacks skill, has a mind like a *kuku-das*, plays a party game solo, or has a twisted personality.

But since we all knew each other and were all good players in Leore, the trash mob sections were just a highway.

As we just deleted the monsters and passed through, a large area unfolded.

If the place until now felt like an ominous universe, this place felt like a swamp of the universe.

A field that looked like it would inflict an movement speed debuff, and a bizarre creature standing in the center of it.

[Abyssal ???]

A boss that doesn’t even reveal its full name.

It looked like a hunched human, but its upper body was absurdly large, and instead of a face, countless tree roots were moving like tentacles.

,What should we do?”

Soonchu-nim spoke first.

We need to be wary of the mechanics now. Just like in the last dungeon where there was a near-death experience from the boss’s two consecutive attacks, there will definitely be dangerous mechanics in this dungeon too.

Especially, the most important thing to watch out for is tank busters. We need to block the patterns where the bosses emit black light and attack 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~”

,Hanggil-nim, please deal as much damage as possible, and Pinku Berry-unni, focus on healing rather than damage.”

,Okay.”

Nodding at my words, everyone picked up their weapons and checked their doping and buffs, and I shouted a word I had wanted to say at least once.

,Leeroy~”

,…?””

,What’s wrong? Why do you all have that expression?”

Soonchu-nim said to me, as if dumbfounded.

,How does Arang-i know that?”

,Ah…”

I just said it because it came to mind when I entered the boss room ahead of Soonchu-nim without thinking, but I blurted it out too thoughtlessly.

,That’s almost a 50-year-old meme. Wow, I only learned about it while wandering around RyuTube.”

,I, I also heard about it while wandering around RyuTube. It looked fun….”

,I guess so.”

As Soonchu-nim ran forward with his huge axe, the boss let out a bizarre cry and ran towards Soonchu-nim.

,Yahoo!”

Soonchu-nim easily blocked the tree root attacks coming towards him.

,I’ve got aggro!”

At Soonchu-nim’s words, Hanggil-nim and I ran forward and started dealing damage.

Still proceeding with a bit of tension with 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 *ddiring* sound.

The floor started to get sticky, and a terrible debuff of -30% movement speed was applied.

It wasn’t directly dealing damage, but it was quite uncomfortable that the body, which had been moving as desired until now, wasn’t moving as I wanted.

It seemed impossible to remove with just Pinku Berry-unni’s debuff removal skill. It wasn’t that the boss applied a debuff to us, but a debuff that occurred as the field itself changed.

Instead of the debuff duration decreasing, it was continuously extending. In other words, unless we got out of this field itself, we would have to continue with this debuff.

But it won’t just make us receive debuffs like this. There will definitely be a solution. We have to find it.

Arang Arang Gathering. Clearing the Abyssal Valley. [6421]

-What was that gimmick again?

-It’s been so long since I saw it, I don’t even remember lol

-But seriously, when you look at Joong2 Arang’s meter, she’s not human. How does a Soma deal that much damage?

-Fr fr, she uses parrying so well that Retaliation pops like crazy lol. And maintaining Chain Strike is insane

-How do you even maintain Chain Strike? Was it even 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 Arang’s party forcibly stopped in their tracks.

Because the swamp suddenly solidified.

-Ah, right, that was the pattern lololol

-You gotta get hit if you don’t know that lol

-Is this a wipe?

-It’s a wipe after all lololol

,Eugh!?”

Arang-i, who died due to the boss’s gimmick attack, screamed and revived.

-Eugh lolololol Her scream is so cute lololol

-lololololololololol

-Eugh eugh eugh eugh eugh lololol

,Arang-ah, what should we do!?”

,Hmm… Let me think for a moment.”

Arang-i stuck her sword into the ground and started thinking hard. Seeing that, Soonchu-nim and Pinku Berry-nim circled around Arang-i, taking screenshots.

-Look at her face, so serious lololol

-How will the middle school girl raid leader handle this gimmick!

-Wasn’t this originally where you stand in a straight line and the tank takes all the party members’ attacks alone?

-Yeah, it’s a straight line attack on all party members once, but the tank can take it for them, so the tank uses an invincibility skill and solos it lol

,The boss uses a straight line attack on the party members once each… Hmm… How about we try this?”

The method Arang-i came up with was to have the tank Soonchu-nim at 12 o’clock centered on the boss, the ranged dealer Kang Hanggil, and herself at 6 o’clock.

If we just stand in a straight line in one place, I, the melee dealer, won’t be able to deal damage, so Arang-i herself would separate from the party and deal damage next to the boss.

-lololol She’s going to block an attack that kills the tank even if they don’t use a survival skill

-Ah~ Another one bites the dust

-But can you survive that even if you parry? Even the tank dies without care

-It’s not just a single attack, it’s a barrage of tree roots, is parrying even possible?

-Haven’t you seen Arang-i parry the Queen Spider’s tank buster?

-No, that’s like an 8-hit combo, but this is like shooting a gun, how do you do that lololol

Retry starting again.

It flowed smoothly as before, and the boss raised its hand high again. Soonchu-nim, Pinku Berry-nim, and Kang Hanggil quickly moved in a straight line to the front of the boss, and Arang-i stood behind the boss and slashed the boss at an incredible attack speed.

The boss’s attack went to 12 o’clock first.

The tentacle-like tree roots on the boss’s head poured out like arrows.

Soonchu-nim received the attack with his whole body without any problems thanks to the tank’s survival skill and the healer’s care. He received three consecutive attacks, using a survival skill for one and invincibility for the remaining attacks.

To make the last attack, the boss turned its body, looked at Arang-i, and poured out the same attack as before.

At that moment when everyone thought Arang-i would die.

Arang-i parried all the attacks coming from the right with the sword in her right arm, and boldly gave up on attacks she couldn’t block.

If she had just taken the attacks, she would have had to die, but Arang-i bent her left elbow, protecting her head, heart, and upper body.

The tree root attacks pierced Arang-i’s lower body and left arm countless times, but all the vital points were avoided, and her right arm, which was holding the most important weapon, was intact.

Usually, the body would be staggered and stop the moment such an attack is allowed, but Arang-i didn’t get staggered and twisted her body to avoid the boss’s last attack, and immediately attacked the boss using Retaliation.

-Is that even possible???

-What? What did I just see?

-No, it’s absurd that she’s alive, but why didn’t she get staggered in the first place?

-Is it a bug? Or are there bugs other than text bugs in Leore?

-Seriously, is Arang-i really a 15-year-old middle school girl? Even if she doesn’t feel pain, the impact would be no joke

-At this point, isn’t she someone who went to another world and came back?

Stagger System.

Leore has a stagger system caused by damage.

When attacked, vibrations occur in that area, and if you take a lot of damage, vibrations occur greatly in that area, causing stagger.

In Arang-i’s case just now, stagger should have occurred as vibrations spread starting from her left arm and left leg.

However, since Arang-i, who basically doesn’t have a left arm and left leg in reality, didn’t recognize the stagger coming from her left arm and left leg in her brain, the stagger was nullified.

The vibrations and after-delay caused by parrying occur throughout the body, so Arang-i is also affected, but she ignored the stagger starting from specific parts, that is, the arms and legs.

Arang-i can imagine moving her arms and legs starting from her brain without any problems, but she doesn’t recognize and ignores the stagger starting from her arms and legs and reaching her brain, creating a childish and petty situation like a rainbow reflection.
