04_21 Redemption (02)
#3
After a series of two corridors and three rooms, the group of people from the church fought and retreated, and finally reached a relatively spacious hall.
The team of the church is indeed good, and with their reflexes, they are not inferior to the main group of the Great Guild that has been fighting for more than half a year. At least not inferior to the main strategy team of Traveler's Tears.
It's a pity that there are too few professions, and many people who are very convenient to cooperate with these people can't play. Their only advantage is probably that they can play a pretty good match between the paladins who take and deal damage and the priests who heal and support the output.
In short, although there were a few twists and turns in the process, in the end, everyone succeeded in beating the giant monster that was fused to that state of near explosion.
As agreed, everyone except the paladin, who attracted attention, began to gradually withdraw into the corridor outside. Then, Vanessa, who has the highest output, shoots the final arrow.
There will be a period of time between an unstable approach to an explosion and a real explosion. And just this time is enough for the priests outside the door to use their special displacement spells to directly pull out the paladins who are still fighting monsters. Then everyone closed the door and ran away, running as far as possible.
That's what we planned, and it was executed perfectly. Although it seems to be mentally oppressive, it is not a very difficult battle unexpectedly. This is probably also related to the fact that the monster itself is extremely unstable - although the body looks large, it is very fragile.
In short, as the violent explosion passed, the screaming of the monster completely stopped. After a short rest, they returned to the room where they had been fighting.
However,
Something completely unexpected and bad happened.
"Vincent Shadowblade"
Inside the room was a bloated monstrous monstrosity of dozens of corpses with that name.
Here comes another one. And although it is smaller, it looks more disgusting.
But unlike the stitching monsters of the undead, this "Vincent" looks more like some kind of clumsy plasticine work, pinched and pressed together.
"It's painful - ah - so uncomfortable - impossible - ! I'm not going to die! Ahhh
The "monster" just screamed like this, completely oblivious to the crowd's appearances. Every part of the body that became it was tearing itself apart in pain, with its hands, with its feet, with its mouth when it was gone, and then the parts that had been torn off were sucked back again, and finally with hands and feet, it continued to tear itself.
Vincent is repeating the process - it is tortured.
And in the mid-air in front of "Vincent", there was still a faint, silver, blurred figure of a girl whose face was so blurred that she couldn't see clearly.
"You are the ones who killed my father...... You're the one who killed my father...... Won't forgive you...... You're the one who killed my father...... Won't forgive you...... I won't forgive you for ......"
The vague shadow of the girl, who couldn't even see clearly, repeated the words in the same indistinct voice.
Neither Vincent nor the girl noticed the people who had broken into the room.
"This is ......"
"Vincent......
Imberka and Vanessa's hands were clasped tightly together.
Fear, except for fear or fear. They've never felt like their lives are under threat since they've traveled into this world - not just them, but none of the players have ever had such a horrific experience. Although they can no longer see what they were, Imberka and Vanessa are well aware that the purpose of their trip is to investigate the missing person, and one of the missing people is a player named "Vincent Shadowblade".
It's like being splashed with a bucket of cold water in the ice and snow, shivering all over the body, dizzy, if it weren't for the fact that Imberka and Vanessa were leaning together and not being able to feel the temperature of each other's palms, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to stand now.
"This thing" is a former player.
One of the killers who once slaughtered dozens of natives, although he was caught and imprisoned by other players in Sunny City for nearly half a year before this, he recently regained his freedom due to the establishment of the Sunny Cooperation Conference. However, he disappeared a few days ago and appeared in this form in front of Inberka and Vanessa.
Even if they really did something heinous and intolerable, seeing the tragic situation of their own kind, Imberka and Vanessa still couldn't suppress their fear.
Something is churning in the stomach pouch.
"Are you two alright? Either you take a rest here, or leave the enemy to the big sister to solve this time, right? ”
The paladin, who had seemed to have been keeping an eye on Imbaca and Vanessa and would give them instructions at the right time, quickly noticed the state of the two of them. Because she was wearing a suit of armor, even a woman could look very big, which just blocked the view of the two people.
"Come on, take a break."
"No ......"
I wanted to say "I don't have to", but I couldn't say anything.
"Don't be pushy. You children, you don't have the consciousness to really die in battle yet, do you? ”
The blonde paladin smiled, his tone unexpectedly calm.
"Although this has now become the case, it is unlikely that you will return in peace. But this kind of protection, we paladins can still do. Don't be reckless, even if you are allowed to participate in the battle now, you will not be able to exert your strength like before, right? ”
……
I don't want to admit it, but that's what it is.
My legs were already weak, and I didn't want to move.
"Come, turn around, and rest a little. When you're almost in good shape, we're looking forward to your return to the fray, with very beautiful spells and very accurate archery. The paladin patted them on the shoulder, then nodded, and turned to leave.
Only Inperka and Vanessa were left.
"What seems to be going on there?" Kolotia's voice came from the headphones.
"Just now...... What did you just hear...... That monster...... Be...... Vincent......"
"Vincent......" Corlotia's voice from the headphones became low, as if holding back anger: "Have they really done this?" That guy...... I can't spare him......"
