Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mummy (I)
"The mummy was most likely Bescamin I's guard. ”
"His guards?"
"Yes. During the time of the Bescarmen kingdom, when the king died, his guards were buried with him. ”
"It sucks. ”
This means that these innocent soldiers were buried alive!
Con Ou shook his head.
"That's true. Grano agreed.
Human sacrifice, human trafficking, human experimentation, and more. These are strictly prohibited by civil law.
Of course, even if they are not banned, they are still things that one person can never do to another.
"In any case, even if we know who they are, there is no longer a record of them," Granno said. Therefore, I have nothing more to add. ”
"I understand. ”
Conou made a plan based on what he knew about the mummy.
"As far as I know, mummies have the ability to regain themselves," Conou said.
"Resurrect yourself?" Ed asked.
"Yes. If you kill them, they will begin to revert back to their original state. ”
"And how are we going to kill them?"
Because as long as they kill them, they will keep coming back.
"They can only resurrect themselves once, so you only need to kill them twice. But there's a key point here: when they are resurrected, their abilities are either improved or they gain special skills. ”
"I understand. ”
"Oh, and Ed. ”
"Yes?"
"Mummies are undead, so don't use curses on them. ”
Mummies are undead monsters. As a result, curses will have the opposite effect on them while actually enhancing them.
"Oh my God. I understand. ”
Eder looked disappointed.
He used to be a cursed knight, but this time he was forced to use his skills as a knight.
"Oh, here. ”
Conor retrieves the crash shield he had obtained from Arummod and passed it to Eder.
When he gave Ed his four-colored skull shield, he took back the bull shield.
"What is this for?" Ed asked.
"I told you. You can't use curses. Neither will the shield. ”
Con'ou pointed to Edel's four-colored skull shield.
"Ahh ”
When attacked, the four-colored skull shield has a fixed chance to afflict the attacker with one of its four curses.
This will be an obstacle for the mummy.
As a result, Eder traded Graham's bull shield for the four-color skull shield.
"It's heavy. ”
Compared to the four-colored skull shield, the Graham Bull Shield is not only heavier, but also less functional.
Still, it doesn't help.
"Hmm. It looks like we're all set, so let's get started!"
Conou saw a mummy for the first time in a movie.
But now that he has the opportunity to fight them face to face, he feels like the protagonist of the movie.
"Well, I guess that's why you're playing the game. ”
Stamp.
Cono took a step forward.
The second he entered the room, the mummy opened his eyes and left the coffin again and again.
Guoco
The mummy finally woke up from a deep slumber, muttering to himself and spinning his neck.
[Amir, Bescamin's captain of the guard, wakes up.] ]
Amir is a boss monster with a white feather turban on his head!
Unfortunately Amir and the rest of these mummies were the defenders of Bescammen I and were overshadowed by the dead king, as Granno had predicted.
"Kill...... That one...... The intruder ...... "Amir ordered.
He speaks sparsely, and his voice resembles the sound of a malfunctioning radio.
"Kill..."
"Kill. ”
The mummy repeatedly utters the word "killing" and makes contact with Conou's party.
The battle with the mummy has begun.
At first, the mummy slowly approached them, but then suddenly rushed towards them.
Unlike their slurred speech, they are very agile and agile.
A mummy slashed Conou's throat with a cutlassal.
Conou did not dodge it, but swung downward with his sword.
Pare!
A white line is formed along the trajectory of his blade.
However, mummies are able to do just that.
Pare?
Con'ou was a little surprised. It can also use slashes.
Clang!
The sword and scimitar clashed, and the mummy lost its power struggle, and the scimitar flew out of his hand.
Cono seized the opportunity and stabbed his sword into his heart.
Stab!
The mummy's heart was pierced, a small beam of light splashed, flinched and fell.
"Mummies can use combat skills, so be careful. Conou yelled, not chased.
"I know. Ed said with a scimitar and a scimitar.
He had just blocked the mummy's "heart thrust" with his shield.
Granno was still out of range of the mummy's attack, so instead of responding, he prepared a spell.
"Kill..."
Several mummies shook their scimitars in front of Conou.
Cono kicked off the floor and retreated. There were several scimitars in the places he had been.
"Hmm. ”
Cono briefly regained his breath and glanced at Amir.
Amir just took a step out of the coffin and did nothing but observe the battle.
"He's an observer," Conou muttered.
"If he were an observer, it would be...... Is it?"
Conou is expected to take off and recalls Spider Queen Alishi.
Alishi is also an observer-like boss, but the more her minions are killed, he grows stronger.
If that's the case, then is it the same for Amir?
That's at least what he thinks.
"I should be sure first. ”
Conou moved again.
He quickly entered the mummy, wielding his sword as if spinning a top.
At that moment, the Dark Strike was activated. A beastly black wave swept across the mummies.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
The mummy could not withstand the impact and rolled to the floor.
And then...
Grano followed up on his own attack.
He finished the casting work, and then, six powerful water cannons were shot out of the sphere.
Riptide!
The water cannon swept through the tumbling mummies.
Those trapped in the water cannon were smashed.
Yes!
Those who were not affected by the attacks alleged by Conou or Granor in Granno.
They are not idiots. They tried to get the mage out first.
"You can't get through!"
Ed stood in front of Grano.
He shoved the mummy away with heavy blows and shields.
Con took advantage of the opportunity to attack one of the mummies.
Chop, cut, push, slash!
The mummy stopped Conou's initial attack, but was unable to defend against Conou's surprise attack.
Eventually, his diagonal line passed through the body.
The slash left a wound in the center of his body.
Jab, jab, jab!
Con Ou repeatedly stabbed his demonic sword as if it were stabbing.
The tip of his knife touched the wound.
Gush.
Red shards spilled from his body, indicating that he had been hit hard and the mummy had fallen to the ground.
[You defeated a member of Bethman I's guard.] ]
A glittering cloud of liquid, resembling a soap bubble, left the mummy's body and flew towards Amir.
The surface of the fall mirrors the sight of the attack on Conou.
"Is that okay?"
Conou suddenly remembered something
Among the warlords, there is a giant ant called Calcium Ion.
It is considered the worst raid boss in warlord history and is widely considered impossible to defeat by the player base.
The reason why it's considered the worst raid boss in history is simple.
No matter how the participants teamed up, calcium ions responded.
In other words, if the commando is heavily biased towards the saboteur, then Cassion will reflect both physical and magical attacks.
Conversely, if the team consists of several therapists, then it will spew out gastric juice, which reduces the cure rate.
It's even worse if the raid team is in good balance, as calcium ions react appropriately to everything.
Therefore, the party failed the attack several times and went crazy against it.
However, only a five-member party was able to defeat the indestructible boss.
Conou, of course, is part of the party.
The way they beat calcium ions is simple.
The calcium layer is dormant in the cocoon inside the dungeon and hatches when the player gets closer.
In order to reach the calcium ions, the raiding team will be forced to fight through various ants in the ant-nest dungeon.
However, the party he attended managed to escape the attention of the ants and enter the room of calcium ions without killing a single ant.
Once an intruder is spotted entering its chamber, the giant ant calcium ions hatch.
However, calcium ions are too weak.
Moreover, the attack on his party at that time did not react very well.
Indeed, calcium ions and ants in the "nest" are connected through a communication network.
Therefore, as the ants fight, the combat data of their enemies will be sent to the calcium ions, which will adjust their bodies appropriately to deal with these attackers.
However, his team attacked it without killing a single ant, so calcium ions were not allowed to receive any combat data. As a result, they were able to remove it easily.
At all costs!
Amir is similar to calcium, and the beads that escaped from the mummy are most likely Conou's combat stats.
If this continues, it will be dangerous for us.
It felt like a siren ringing in his ears.
The more he, Ed, and Granor shoot down the mummies, the harder it will be to shoot down Amir.
Fortunately, unlike calcium ions, it seems that Amir received combat data only after the death of the mummy.
If that's the case
"Ed, Mr. Granno. Please stop attacking. You can't kill the mummy!" Conou shouted.
"Driver?"
"What are you talking about?"
Granor and Ed looked at him strangely.
"Basically..."
That moment
The once dead mummy was resurrected.
[One of Bescammen I's defenders has been resurrected.] ]
[Go crazy.] ]
The mummy stood up. Dry eyes glow red.
"Maniac!"
Usually, monsters only go into a berserk state when HP is reduced below 10%, and when they enter this state, their strength and speed increase dramatically.
However, the mummy disappeared through revival. Obviously, it's 100% HP!
"If all these twenty mummies go crazy, and all the combat data is transmitted to Amir, then ......"
Con'ou envisioned the worst-case scenario.
Eventually, he made a decision.
"Everyone, retreat. Hurry up and go. Conou shouted and began to run.
He began to run towards the stone gate.
"Say that again, please?"
"Man, why are you doing this?"
Granor and Ed looked at him in complete bewilderment.
"Hurry!" Conou yelled again.
Then he added: "Retreat." If you do, I'll pay you!"
With the prospect of money, both Granor and Ed's expressions changed.
"If he is willing to give us money, then the situation must be terrible. ”
Truly. We must go now.
Grano and Ed immediately exchanged glances.
Grano forms a wall of water and then begins to run next to him with Ed.
"Hey, hey. ”
"Ha, ha!"
Because they ran as much as they could, they were able to get past the gates.
The mummies chased them all the way to the Stone Gate, but they didn't follow them.
The mummy watched Conou's party retreat into the distance, back into the coffin.
"You can stop now," Conou said.
"Whew, whew. ”
"Huh. ”
Eder and Granor finally had a chance to catch their breath.
"What's the matter?" asked Granno.
"That's what I mean......"
Conor began to explain everything he had learned.
He talks about calcium ions, the beads that come out of the mummy, the mummy's berserk state after resurrection, and the observer-like Amir, who gradually gets stronger as the battle progresses.
"I see. ”
Once completed, Granno and Eder can fully understand where he came from.
"So what are we going to do now?" asked Granno.
"I have a plan. ”
There are no comparable monsters!
Conou's eyes sparkled.
"The plan was simple. We were divided into two groups: one to fight the mummies and the other to fight Amir. ”
Calcium and Amir are similar, but ultimately different.
In the past, his party was able to ignore the ants and fight directly against calcium ions, but here it is impossible to do so. They were forced to associate with mummies.
If this is the case, then one group must keep the mummy busy while the other fights Amir.
"That way, it doesn't matter if the mummy is killed or not, because no matter who is fighting, Amir will not transfer the battle data to him. ”
"Definitely. ”
Grano nodded. Conou's plan is reasonable
"The one who will fight the mummy is ......"
Conor looked at Ed. It's clear what he's conveying.
You!
"Do you want me to take on 20 mummies myself?"
Ed frowned.
"You'll be with Mr. Granno too, because it's all going to make it hard for you. ”
According to Con'o's assessment, Eder could not fight the mummy alone.
After all, there are not only twenty people, but they can revive themselves and become insane after revival.
"Are you going to fight Amir alone, Conou?" asked Grano.
"Yes. ”
"Will you be okay?"
Emile is no ordinary mummy. He's the boss's monster. In addition, he was once the captain of the guard who protected Bescamin I.
"I'll be fine. I'm strong. ”
Cono has two trump cards ready: Gluttony and Demon Trigger.
If things don't go their way, then he will use both gluttony and the devil trigger (as he did with Karako) and push Amir down.
"Then Mr. Ed and I will take the mummy off anyway. ”
"Ed, Mr. Granno, please come in first and pull the mummy into a corner of the room. I'm going to use this opportunity to get close to Amir and take him down. ”
"I understand. ”
"Good. ”
Granno and Ed replied at the same time.
Conou had no other orders or anything to remind them of.
"Good. Let's go!".
As planned, Granor and Eder entered the room first, while Conou waited and stood by.
"I'm back!" Ed shouted as he opened the stone door.
