Chapter 84 – 84. The First Quest Is Rewarding!
“Cheolsan Kang, why are you here?”
I roughly guessed the reason, but I asked why first.
If Kang Cheolsan had a prudent and cold-hearted personality, he would not answer even if I asked why.
Haha, of course!”
Kang Cheol-san, who is hot-tempered, violent, and full of self-promotion, explained the reason for his arrival very smoothly.
“It’s to avenge the humiliation I suffered from you last time! Do you dare to look at me as water?”
In other words, I couldn’t win against my temper and had already appeared unlike the story.
Hmmm, did I tease you too much?
“Today is your memorial dayhehe!”
The steel mountain jumped up and rode on the back of the Great Fire Boar.
“I’ll annihilate them all with your party!”
Steel Mountain shouting vigorously.
However, I was more focused on the Steel Mountain riding on the Great Fire Boar’s back than the Steel Mountain horse.
‘Rider form… !’
Steel Mountain is basically a stranger who works alone.
However, in addition to ominous magical powers, Strangers have the ability to command monsters.
The early boss, Cheolsan Mountain, did not use this ability, but starting from Chapter 2, enemies or bosses that use monsters instead of subordinates or as main powers appear.
By the way… Steel Mountain is sure to kill me, and it’s not enough to use a monster killing ability that I don’t normally use, and to ride on top of the Great Fire Bore!
Joy and pride filled my heart as if I had witnessed new game content or an undisclosed DLC boss.
It’s different from the Black Bull stories I know, but a surprise event like this… Rather good!
It can be dealt with quickly with steel acid, so there is no problem in terms of safety.
“Rouvelt! What should I do!”
Sihun looked at me and waited for instructions.
Sihun’s eyes contained not only hostility for Steel Mountain, but also a little tension and fear.
Although he has strong hostility because of the power of blood, he can’t help but feel fear due to the difference in ability that he is no match for.
Besides, there is also Kim Ye-seul, who has a heart behind her, and her friends Rize and Yume.
I was able to notice the kind heart of Sihun, who is worried that precious people will be hurt in this battle.
“Of course I have to take him down here. Don’t worry, I’m here.”
“…Okay!”
Sihun immediately made up his mind and glared at the steel mountain.
Nara was giving Sihun a strong sense of security.
“Rize! Hit the steel mountain with us! Yume and Yeseul, be careful not to cut off the sub-magic!”
He spoke vigorously and awakened the spirits of the people who were caught in a bit of tension and fear.
“I understand, Bocchan.”
“”Yes!””
Rize immediately moved to her seat and stood side by side with me and Sihun.
“Strength!”
“Shield!”
“Speed!”
From behind, Yume and Kim Ye-seul alternately cast auxiliary magic on us.
“Die!”
And a mountain of steel! And signaled by tapping the Great Fire Boar’s back with his leg.
-Kwaeeeee
The Great Fire Boar rushed at us with its red mane flying.
“I’ll keep Steel Mountain in check! Rize and Si-Hun handle the Great Fire Boar!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
He drew his bow and fired an arrow aiming at the steel mountain.
Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
“Do you think this will work!”
Caang!
Even if it’s only one chapter, it’s a boss.
Steel Mountain blocked my arrows with the greatsword in his hand.
Kang Cheol-san tries to laugh at my attack, but my purpose is to prevent him from attacking Rize and Si-Hoon.
Shush shush shush!
Compared to using arrows directly, mana arrows are weak.
However, it has the advantage of being able to shoot just by pulling the string without taking out the arrows from the quiver.
That’s why I was able to keep blocking my mana arrow so that Steel Mountain couldn’t reap the greatsword.
“Keuugh! You son of a bitch!”
While steel acid blocked my arrows from being shot in succession, Sihun and Rize approached the Great Fire Boar.
“Blaze Slash!”
“Nine Slash!”
Sihun’s flame-clad blow and Rise’s dagger, which quickly landed 9 slashes, cut the Great Fire Boar’s flank.
-Kwaeeeee
“These kids! Haaaaap!”
Kang Cheol-san saw that the monster he was riding was being attacked and swung his great sword at Si-hoon and Rize.
Boo woo woo!
However, the timing of the swing was delayed to block my attack, so Steel Mountain’s attack did not hit the two.
Rather.
Fufufufu!
“Keugh!”
As he forced himself to swing his greatsword, three mana arrows were pierced into Steel Mountain’s body.
“Damn it! Charge like this! You pig!”
Steel mountain didn’t retreat, but rather rushed the fire great bore towards me.
“”Rouvelt!””
“Young master!”
Four people call me at the same time and send voices of concern.
My heart was satisfied because it was a situation where the personal connections and intimacies I had accumulated were properly revealed.
“Yeseul-ah! Yume! Cast strength-supporting magic on me as much as possible!”
“Power strength!”
“Ah! S, strength!”
In response to my shout, Yume and Kim Ye-seul immediately cast auxiliary magic.
Power surged from the body.
In particular, Yume’s Power Strength, which was strengthened by White Prism, gave me even greater strength.
“Do you think you can stop this enhanced charge with only a secondary magic? Get hit and die without even having time to use your wits!”
“No. 8.”
Bows and quivers have been replaced with large shields and maces.
“Run faster!”
Steel Mountain changed his complexion when he saw my equipment.
Of course.
It’s because the blacksmith who used this shield blocked his own.
Before I even had time to use a pencil, Kang Cheolsan tried to hit me like this.
Stranger’s magical power raises the level of the monsters it enslaves.
Since the E-class boss monster, Great Fire Boar, has been strengthened, it must have gone up a notch to the level of a D-class boss.
However, the specs of a D-class boss are much weaker than the A-class dungeon junk monsters that are hunted in the mid-to-late game.
If I, who already have mid-to-late stats, is in a state where I have been cast on strength-assisting magic, this is possible.
“Shield Bash!”
Rather, I rushed towards the Great Fire Boar, which burned a mountain of steel, and hit my shield.
Float!
With a heavy echo, the Great Fire Boar, hit by my shield rush, flew to the place where it first stood.
-Kwueeeeek!?
“What!?”
Steel Mountain widened its eyes in amazement at what had just happened.
“Huh? What was that?”
And it wasn’t just Mt. Steel that surprised me.
Sihun looked back and forth and alternately looked at me and the great fire borer that had flown away.
If there is a strength sub-magic added to the mid-to-late stats, you can easily blow away the strengthened E-class boss monster.
Besides, this time it flew quite spectacularly and magnificently.
‘I’m raising my stats with this taste.’
I’m the type who likes to press down with overwhelming stats and deals rather than enjoying the classics in the game.
I don’t want to be stressed even in the game I’m trying to enjoy.
I love easy mode.
“Did Roovelt just do that!?”
“Then I’ll do it, who will do it? Didn’t I tell you to be at ease?”
“Uh… Yes.”
“As expected, the young boy.”
“God, that’s awesome…”
“That’s great, Roovelt!”
Showing an overwhelming appearance, the excessive tension and anxiety at the party disappeared.
That’s fine, but don’t relax completely.
“Don’t be vigilant yet, the enemy hasn’t fallen yet.”
-Kuuuuu….
“You monstrous bastard… Get up, pig!”
The wrathful steel mountain grabbed the Great Fire Boar’s flesh and forcibly breathed magic into it.
Woo woo woo woo!
– Kww! Back! Queueeeee
Overinjection of magic power beyond the permissible amount.
It was a way to lower the monster’s life force even if it temporarily increased its fighting power.
The Great Fire Boar, over-injected with magical power, rose again.
-Kuruuuuu!
The eyes that seemed to be conscious were dyed red due to the completely distorted magical power, and only the madness of killing the enemy remained inside them.
Seeing the transformed Great Fire Boar, everyone frowned.
“No matter how much a monster it is, it’s like that…”
“Too bad.”
“I’m sorry…”
“You’re a Stranger after all.”
Haha! Come on! I’ll kill you this time!”
Steel Mountain, which was proclaimed with a great sword full of magical power, did not bother riding on the Great Fire Bore this time.
In terms of the game, it was the start of the second phase battle.
For future battles, I can’t insist on fighting by raising my stats.
So.
“Rize, Sihun. Take care of the Great Fire Bore. I’ll take charge of Steel Mountain.”
Entrust the opponents you can deal with to other party members.
“Okay!”
“I will serve you, Bocchan.”
“Hey, kid. Do you think you can deal with me alone?”
“Of course it does. Who was the guy who ran away from me last time?”
“Turn off…!”
“Besides, it hurts my heart to deal with a group of guys weaker than me.
“Bastard hee hee hee!”
Kang Chul-san, who was properly caught in my provocation, passed Si-hoon and Rize and looked only at me and narrowed the distance.
“I’m sorry!
A greatsword filled with the magical power of Steel Mountain was swung.
Effortlessly dodge to the side.
“Shield Bash!”
Float!
“Cuck!”
To prevent the aftermath of the fight from affecting other party members, he hit the steel mountain with his shield and sent it flying to the cave wall.
