When I first planned the Elderreach raid, I thought a lot about the first gate.

Raid bosses, unlike regular dungeons, give out good rewards, so they have a cooldown period of one week.

But, if you do a 32-person raid with a great war background every week, wouldn’t it be quite tiring?

Even though the Echo of the Ghost is efficient right now, it is considered an unpopular hunting ground because hunting fatigue is too high.

Having to fight a war every week? This was a problem that was not only tiring, but also frustrating.

‘That’s why I added the skip function.’

If you clear the first gate even once, we have included a feature that allows you to skip the Great War.

Of course, it didn’t let you skip the gate itself, only the part where the corpse golem was summoned.

This skip function has been made so that it cannot be used if at least one person in the raid does not have a clear record.

Because there was a very high possibility that it could be misused for other purposes.

For example, a bus or a workplace.

‘It’s tough to gather 32 people every week.’

So, unlike Gate 1, Gates 2 and 3 are designed to make the raid more difficult the more people there are.

– Brand? Can you feel the debuff on Wittya?

– Wait a minute… Whenever a person with the mark is hit by Elderlich’s pattern, Elderlich’s health is restored.

Mark of the Elderlich. This debuff is randomly applied to half of the players who enter the raid.

– Oh, shit. It keeps recovering.

– 16 people. Half of the total number of people.

Elderlich has dozens of patterns, most of which have wide ranges and are difficult to avoid.

Elder Lich in particular was difficult to predict because its aggro kept changing.

– This won’t work.

In the end, Daehyeop Kim had no choice but to make the decision to stop the raid and disband the raiding party.

In this way, the raid was divided into eight parties, and a competitive structure was created.

– Certainly, it’s better than before.

– Now the progress is a bit behind.

– Everyone, watch out for thorns popping out of the shadows!

The number of targets for branding has been reduced from 16 to 2, so it has no choice but to do it.

‘The raid boss’s difficulty is adjusted according to the number of people entering.’

If you think about it for half a day, you will probably find the answer.

Well, it’s not a raid that you can solve right away just by looking at the answer.

Still, seeing them working hard made me feel proud and fulfilled as a producer.

“It’s really nice to see you suffering.”

If the progress of the conquest of a large company party is around 30%.

Most other parties were hovering around the 20% mark.

‘Now I see, this is a gathering of people who are overly obsessed with Raven.’

Especially Daehyeop Kim and Sweet. The feelings they both had for Raven were very special.

Besides that, Suzuka considered Raven as someone precious.

As the head of a household, Paegwi thought of Raven as his daughter.

That’s why I was looking forward to it even more. The boss’ transformation that took place at Gate 3, Line 0.

I was dying to see people’s reactions when they saw it.

I watched the raid at the corporate party, endlessly waiting for that moment to come.

***

[Sweet’s broadcast has started. – Akashic Records 22 hours ago]

About 22 hours after starting the Elderreach raid, the corporate party cleared the second gate.

In the clear cutscene, the elder lich is not dead, but retreats somewhere and disappears.

“Wow. This is really fucking hard.”

dump-

Sweet, who was famous for not swearing normally, sat down on the floor and spat out a curse.

Now, there are only three gates left. If you take just one more step, you can defeat the Elder Reach.

“Thank you all for your hard work.”

“Wow, that was hard.”

The thief who had been protecting the party from the Elder Lich’s patterns throughout the raid put down his heavy sword and shield and sat down next to Sweet.

“Hmm. Should we stop here for today?”

Unlike the other party members, Daehyeop Kim, who seemed quite healthy, expressed regret.

Suzuka shook her head with a disgusted expression on her face at the sight.

“Then let’s just taste the 3 gates and then disperse.”

“Is that so?”

“I agree with that too.”

With a unified opinion, Daehyeop Kim stood up the two people who were sitting.

“Master Daehyeop really has great stamina.”

“What, it’s about the average for a normal person.”

“All the ordinary people have been searched.”

The corporate party, which had completed all preparations, was the first to enter the third gate.

The four people looked around, feeling as if they were being sucked into somewhere.

“Here···.”

“Obviously, we entered the ruined castle.”

“Is this the Raven Kingdom?”

The background of the second gate was the rear of the battlefield where the great war broke out.

It was a dry wilderness with cliffs on all sides, and beyond the cliffs one could observe the silhouette of a castle.

Looking at the minimap, the location of the castle was Raven, a kingdom that was destroyed due to the resurrection of Elderlich.

The King’s Throne Room.

Bloodstains and skeletal remains of the knight were visible everywhere on the carpet.

In the gloomy atmosphere, an elder lich appeared in front of the throne.

“A little different.”

A blackened inverted cross. A lantern holding a blue flame. A staff covered in rotten flesh.

The first trailer and the cinematic trailer that came out this time. And it was exactly as it appeared in the trailer.

[ Raid Boss Imperfect Ancient Necromancer Lv.55 ]

“It’s not Elderrich.”

It has a similar appearance to the Elder Lich we fought before.

Just by the pressure I felt, I could intuitively sense that they were separate entities.

Shiver-

Sweet suddenly grabbed my wrist, which was beginning to tremble, with his other hand.

My hydrocephalus, which had been fine for a while, suddenly flared up at this very moment.

An ancient necromancer wearing the mask of an elder lich waved a lantern.

Sweet, whose eyes were focused on the lantern, felt a sense of discomfort.

Sweet’s current sub-occupation is an emotional intelligence expert.

The skill of the appraiser, ‘Appraisal’, had a very wide range of targets that could be designated.

Items are basic, and you can also get information about unidentified debuffs and buffs.

It could be used to target monsters, and could also target the current map.

Among the many, many choices, Sweet instinctively used her emotions toward that lantern.

[ Nightmare Lantern with Raven trapped ]

– Raven’s will is being tested.

– 29: 45 left until nightmare comes true

The vision turned black and white at the same time as the system message containing the cruel reality appeared.

[ Died . ]

***

The Ancient Necromancer was a raid boss that used a annihilation skill from the first pattern.

When you shake the lantern, if you look at it, you will be swallowed by a nightmare and die instantly.

There are two main ways to break this pattern.

You just have to avoid looking at the lantern or shaking it.

‘I don’t get it anymore.’

Is it because I slept well, unlike yesterday?

The lantern pattern was now an easily overlooked corporate party.

“Are you nervous?”

Yesterday, Sweet shared with the party the information she had learned through her emotions.

Since Raven is trapped in the lantern, it is impossible to destroy the lantern.

In terms of the story, the purpose of the Elderreach raid was to rescue Raven.

So I had to constantly worry about the lantern pattern, and this came as a psychological pressure.

Still, the big company party was about to be cleared in half a day.

‘Time limit remaining: 3 minutes.’

The ancient necromancer has only two bars of health left.

The ghost who maintained his composure in a tense situation succeeded in parrying like a ghost.

Sweet, who was watching the angle, used the Blink Frost Combo and then cast Fire Ball.

– Got it!

Finally, I succeeded in defeating the ancient necromancer.

At that time, when the large corporate parties gathered in one place, everyone cheered together.

As Raven was freed from the Nightmare Lantern, the spirit of an ancient necromancer appeared before her.

– I guess I have no choice but to take at least half.

The ancient necromancer abandoned his elder lich body and took up residence in a raven.

– Accept me. Otherwise, I will tear that guy you cherish so much to pieces beyond recognition.

In fact, the ancient sorcerers still had that power.

Of course, using that power will lead to the annihilation of the vengeful spirit, and it will enter eternal rest.

Raven knew that too.

Because I’ve been continuously being indoctrinated with the ideas of ancient sorcerers.

I was tortured to a degree that is difficult to describe in words.

In a state of mental breakdown due to endless nightmares.

Raven could not overcome the ancient necromancer’s threats.

Because I didn’t want my precious relationship to die, I chose to sacrifice again.

Eventually, Raven accepted the spirit of the ancient necromancer.

[ Raid Boss Complete Raven Lv.60 ]

This was the last Elderreach raid I prepared for.

***

The final Elderreach raid has been revealed.

The corporate parties were all speechless, and the community exploded with excitement.

The current corporate party was holding a Raven Raid.

Despite his impressive performance, Raven’s pattern was simple.

At the same time, the fact that he wasn’t actively attacking seemed to represent Raven’s feelings.

Still, Raven Raid was never easy.

Although they did not attack actively, each and every pattern was very lethal.

Although the patterns are simple, they use more patterns than the ancient sorcerers.
