Strategy

-Arang-ah, watch out!-

I reflexively twisted my body at Yesol-unni’s shout, but I was slightly too late.

A tree root that sprang up from below grazed my body.

‘Damn it-!’

I thought I had calmed my mind, but it seems I’m still impatient.

‘Of all things-! Nothing’s going right!’

A tree root as big as me was tightly coiled.

Even though it’s a tree root, what I see in front of me looks like a spring about to burst.

I need to move my body right now to avoid it, but I’m in a state of paralysis and can’t do anything.

“Ugh…!”

No matter how much I try to focus and make a fuss to break free from the paralysis even 0.1 seconds faster, I can’t quickly undo the system-imposed paralysis.

But I wasn’t too worried.

Kwaang!

Like always, Sunchu-unni perfectly takes care of me.

I wink at Sunchu-unni and jump forward.

Holding both daggers in reverse grip, I cross my arms and jump to avoid the tree root attacking me, then place my foot on the tree root and kick it with all my might.

As an assassin class, my movement speed is fast, but with various buffs, I run towards the boss at an even faster acceleration.

Kuoong!

A huge light appeared from behind, and an angel descended.

Starting with the White Mage’s Awakening skill, the Grim Reaper’s Awakening skill, where a huge death god appears.

Splendid effects poured down on the boss.

A giant moon appeared in the boss room.

The giant moon, as if swallowing everything, was stained with blood and shattered.

Jjeo-eo-eong!

The Assassin’s Awakening skill, which is used with just a click even without combat buffs, is an Awakening skill with a high minimum.

The problem is that the maximum is low.

As the party members’ Awakening skills exploded, the giant ancient tree boss staggered greatly.

I checked the boss’s health.

Only 1%

-Now’s the time! Everyone attack! Heal as little as possible, we need to take it down before the next magic comes!-

“Uwo-ooooooo!!!”

Starting with Yesol-unni’s words, I had been taking a defensive stance to conserve health, but thanks to the White Mage’s Awakening skill, I was at full health, so I used skills and charged towards the boss.

Perhaps because I’m only an assassin class, dark and gloomy skill impacts poured loudly towards the boss.

Each skill reduced the boss’s health bit by bit as it hit.

The healer also used all the mana they had saved up until now on damage magic, attacking the boss.

From now on, it’s a time attack.

We’ve used all our Awakening skills, and we can’t expect the healer to heal.

Now, if we reduce the boss’s health to zero and kill it before the boss uses the next magic, it’s a first clear.

If the boss uses magic again before that, the party members will die because they can’t be healed, and we’ll have to retry.

There’s not much time left.

If we continue like this, it will use magic again.

The boss’s attacks become faster and fiercer as time passes.

Lately, LeoLe likes desperate gimmicks, and whenever bosses are about to die, they go berserk.

Of course, if you’re a living thing, that’s what you should do before you die, but each tree root is a fatal wound, so my concentration is being chipped away every moment.

The tree roots began to multiply endlessly and then began to draw a circle.

-Next magic-! 4-person share!-

Tsk. It’s not a tank buster magic that has a 100% chance of being cleared, but a 4-person share magic.

‘I have to break through.’

The time left now is almost 30 seconds.

If we can’t defeat the boss within those 30 seconds, we’ll be wiped out again.

The good thing is that the boss is drawing a magic circle with many tree roots to use magic, so there are not as many tree roots compared to before.

‘The healer’s mana is almost 0. We can’t expect any more healing, and the knight’s cover skill is still on cooldown. Then…’

“Bae-deopgae-unni!”

“Got it!!!”

Whether she came to the same conclusion as I did, I only called her name without saying much, and Bae-deopgae-unni ran to my side.

For half a year. No, almost nine months now, I’ve been doing LeoLe with her, and I smiled at my perfect teamwork with Bae-deopgae-unni, who understands me without me having to say a word.

She’s usually like a silly pervert-unni, but at times like this, she’s more reliable than anyone else.

“Let’s go! Arang-ah, follow me!”

I chuckled at Bae-deopgae-unni’s shout and ran at the same time as Bae-deopgae-unni.

The giant boss’s attacks are being firmly blocked by our reliable main tank, Sunchu-unni, and the tree roots targeting the remaining dealers are being guarded by our sub-tank, Palgiri-nim.

On top of that, there are tree roots even though the boss is using tree roots to use magic.

I first broke through those tree roots and stabbed a dagger into the tree root connected to the boss.

At the same time, Bae-deopgae-unni’s scythe, covered in black shadows, cut through the boss’s tree root.

The boss’s health is only 0.1%

Only 3 seconds left until casting.

‘Damn it…! If only a critical had hit…!’

“Kuwaaaa! Kuaaa!!!”

The boss’s face was not looking at Sunchu-unni, the main tank, but at me and Bae-deopgae-unni, and roared.

It was as if it was mocking us.

I didn’t stop wielding my dagger, as if answering the boss’s expression.

“Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaat!”

Pre-delay, post-delay? I don’t need any of that. I erased all those words from my mind and awakened my body’s senses to the extreme, canceling everything, canceling it.

The ending pose of the skill was the starting pose of the skill, and the smoothness was so perfect that it felt like one movement, to the point where I didn’t even know if the cancel technique was used.

I frantically crossed the standard and reverse grips, tearing the boss’s body apart for 3 seconds.

The [Tremor Nepenthe Ancient Tree]’s tree roots suddenly fell to the ground and collapsed.

As the tree roots lost their strength, the boss’s hideous face turned towards the ceiling, and starting with the tree roots, the moisture was sucked out, becoming dry, and then it began to crack.

Light began to shine from the cracked areas, and then it exploded, becoming particles.

“Haa… haa… haa…”

Perhaps because I held my breath while dealing damage, my stamina was already crawling towards the bottom.

While calming my rising heart, a system message flashed brightly in my vision.

[Tremor Nepenthe Ancient Tree Conquered]

WORLD FIRST KILL

Lee Arang – Arang-i Bae-deopgae – Sunhangchugyeokgi – Pingkubeori – Palgiri10cm – Mate – Amused to Death – Ze

As the boss disappeared, the tentacle-like tree roots also vanished with a rustle.

The dark and gloomy boss room also became bright as if a fire had been lit.

The system message that WFK had been achieved was in front of my eyes, but everyone didn’t react immediately.

Everyone’s reaction appeared when the auction house UI popped up.

“”Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!””

Everyone cheered, and a large hand grabbed my side and lifted me up.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaa!”

Bae-deopgae-unni also cheered and grabbed me, running towards the party members.

==

-Wow, that’s crazy, lol

-Arang-i is really crazy, but Bae-deopgae did so well this time

-In the end, we’re taking it back! This is our Korean party!

-Can you call it a Korean party when there are Koreans and foreigners mixed in? lol

-Arang-i is the party leader~ lol

-Wow, wait a minute, the Mead party also cleared it

-ㄷㄷ? What, really?

-Wow, only 3 minutes difference from the Munchkin Cat party ㄷㄷ

-Heol

Not long after the [Tremor Nepenthe Ancient Tree Conquered] WORLD FIRST KILL came out, news of the Mead party’s clear was also reported.

The time difference was 3 minutes.

-They really cleared it with 4 assassins, 2 knights, and 2 white mages, lol

-But usually, the place that gets the first clear makes the strategy, right?

-That’s true, but Arang-i’s party’s strategy? lol hopeless

-Arang-i’s party’s strategy is just useless, lol

-Honestly, the Mead party’s strategy is a hundred times better

-You can never use the Cat party’s strategy in a public party

-ㄹㅇ lol They’d probably write a strategy like this? Parry everything.

“Everyone, you worked hard!!!”

Yesol waves her hands at the party members who came out of the boss room.

“Yesol, you worked hard too! From briefing to sheet organization, you were really reliable!”

“No! All I did was sit and wiggle my fingers and open and close my mouth!”

“Hey. Don’t say that!”

“B… But why is Arang-i still being held…”

“It’s a day to celebrate! Let’s all go to the guild house!”

==

I succeeded.

Hoohoohuhuhuhuhuh.

I made a few mistakes this time too, but the reliable party members covered my mistakes and cleared it wonderfully.

It’s a subjugation battle, not a raid, but this time I achieved WFK with dignity.

We cleared the 270-degree gimmick faster than anyone else with 4 assassins, 2 knights, and 2 white mages, but Reina-unni’s party almost took it again.

As expected of the Mead party.

There’s a reason why they’re called the strongest party.

Of course, it was very difficult later on with duplicate classes, but the boss’s health was almost 30% different at the end, but they almost caught up.

Our physical skills are definitely superior, but their LeoLe gimmick breaking, which has been honed by running a party for a long time, is considerable.

‘But we got WFK this time, right?’

Hoohoohuh

I feel very good.

There is no separate WFK-only title for subjugation battles, but it is still a fact that we achieved WFK.

“Ah.”

I was caught up in the atmosphere, but suddenly I remembered one thing.

‘I have to go back to school tomorrow…?’
