chapter 24
24 – Rumors – 1
The Pale Moon is a monster that focuses on mental attacks.
In particular, ‘Reminiscence’, used by the Pale Moon, was one of the most dirty attacks in the game, forcing the target to recall the past and making it impossible to use the skill properly.
It’s like when Veronica uses a skill right now, the taste goes away and makes it impossible to properly support.
Of course, there was no countermeasure. Healing from musicians and clowns (mental), or healing from warriors (physical) will bring him to his senses.
Of course, that’s the way normal players do it, and old people like me take a slightly different way.
It is Admiral Lee’s tactic that weakens the pale moon’s mental attack with a wide-area mental attack machine that does not discriminate against peers.
That’s why I brought those two trolls among the adventurers.
Wilkes’ endless chatter and Lark’s pig-picking song and playing.
The mental shock created by these two hurt not only the pale moon, but also all allies, so Veronica could not continue to fall into reminiscence.
Of course, there will be quite a bit of psychological damage.
“Veronica! Are you okay?!”
“…yes.”
The silver-haired beauty who had been staring blankly at me for a moment suddenly came to her senses. Could it be because of Lark’s death lock? She frowned and grumbled.
“Your ears are dull.”
“It will.”
If a person who is not accustomed to playing and chatting is fine, is that a person?
However, it didn’t seem like the taste had gone to the point of confusion, perhaps because it was Veronica, who had high mental power.
Of course, it wasn’t a big problem even if it fell out.
“If you’re tired, go back and get some rest!”
If it’s just for a moment, I can do Veronica’s cover.
I pulled Veronica’s hand, and she barely got up, looked at the pale moon, and chewed her lips.
Crying, red blood began to flow from her lips.
“Where is the priest who can rest before evil?”
After grasping the Divine Mark tightly, she used the most powerful skill currently available.
protection of light.
A priest’s advanced skill that heals the physical and mental strength of all party members and creates a shield at the same time.
Perhaps because this is also a skill, Veronica’s eyes become blurry again. It was evidence that she was caught in a ‘reminiscence’ of abnormal condition, so I gave Veronica a strong slap on the cheek.
– Wow!
It’s not that I don’t like Veronica.
This skill was just a warrior’s healing (physical).
“Ugh.”
A red aura appears on Veronica’s white face.
I’m sorry I hit a guy I’m close to, but I can’t help it.
Lark isn’t in a good state right now to the point where he can keep going.
Red blood dripped from his hands no matter how many times he bounced the lute, and the number of coughs increased as he continued to sing.
It seems unreasonable to leave this to them alone…
“Aagh! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!”
“Ah! Why are you doing that?! Why doesn’t it collapse?! aaa’.’. How come he’s doing this?! How’d you do that?
….I can leave it to you more.
They are really tough guys.
“…Am I holding back?”
“Whoa. That can’t be. You’re doing really well right now.”
I grabbed Veronica’s shoulders as I saw her trying to get stressed out about not being helpful.
“It’s really helpful, so don’t do it too much!”
Stress reduction is a supporter’s job.
I threw the throat candy I made with alchemy the other day at them. They took it off, cleared their throats again, and lifted her chin as they attacked the pale moon, staring her straight in the eye.
“Oops!”
Veronica met my eyes and slightly averted her gaze. Did you hit me hard earlier? His cheeks were getting redder.
“Is that… is that really…?”
“Never mind.”
“More than a warrior party?”
“What such an obvious statement.”
“…more than a princess?”
Why are we talking about Lucille here?
Anyway, as much as I need to lower the stress, I can give you that much sugar coating with a pierced mouth.
“Are you like that?”
“Are you coming to me after this job?”
“Ah. It’s not like that.”
There are things people can give up and there are things they can’t.
“…Chit.”
Although she seemed disappointed, Veronica seemed to have regained her energy and was determined to fight again.
“Sage! He’s in a strange state?!”
At Lark’s cry, I turned my eyes toward the pale moon. The numerous tentacles stopped moving. The eyes that had been on the white eggshell-like surface were closed.
“Whoa… it’s over… am I?”
“No! Wilkers! Prepare your ultimate! Hey! Lark! I really hate it, but I can’t help it!”
“Eh?”
“It’s a duet!!”
“What?!”
Although his musical values don’t fit well with Rak, it can’t be helped. I grabbed the lute, and Lark hesitantly took a piece of music out of his pocket and threw it.
“Can you play this?”
this is what i can’t do
“How do you play such a complex piece?! Just you guess me! Veronica! Get ready!”
“Huh? Huh!”
“Channel. Let’s start with ‘The light is coming to me’! Everyone get nervous! Seeing the transformations can get you confused!”
– Awesome!
The surface of the pale moon was cracked. We were nervous because it was evidence that something else was about to appear, and when that tension reached its peak.
-Pajik!!
White surface cracked. What emerged from there was a terrifying monster with dozens of eyes. A monster with four arms, two legs, and hundreds of tentacles on its back.
“Aaghh! What is that?!”
“You are the light…”
“Something cool?! Wow! Sages! That stimulates my heart’s sensibility!”
…I can’t understand Wilkes’ sensibility either. To see such a bizarre-looking thing and say it’s cool.
Anyway, I’m glad that at least one person survived.
Lark and Veronica got tired of the pale moon’s true form and stopped moving, but Wilkers and I can move.
-Ooh oh oh oh!!
Phase 2 began with a roar. Wilkes, who moved his long arm and found the guy trying to make a direct full attack unlike before, immediately raised his staff.
“The shadow will stop everything here!!”
The moment Wilkers raised his staff, dozens or hundreds of shadows soared and tied him up.
That’s the shaman’s ultimate skill, Multiple Shadow Seals.
If used well, it is a skill so powerful that it can even bind the demon king, the final boss of the main story.
It was such a good ultimate that most players would say that this is the reason why shamans are included in their party, and it was really good even when it became a reality.
“How long do I have to hold out?”
“Until they come to their senses! Just wait!”
I flicked the lute I took out. The song played is Spring Wind. I can’t fail this time…
-Diri-ring~ Diri-ring~ Ding tting ding~
Fortunately, there were no performance failures. After just one song was finished, Lark and Veronica, who had been frozen, began to let out their breath.
“Heh-uh… Heh-uh…”
“Whoah…”
“Lark! Get ready for a duet! And Veronica! Attack when Wilkes’s skill ends! We’ll support you!”
“Ugh… I don’t like chants.”
“Let’s match our musical values this time!”
Of all the songs I can play, this hymn is the most effective.
And it is helpful for Veronica, who will be the main dealer, to sing.
-Tiriling~ Ding~
Lark was grumbling, but when I started playing, he began to harmonize. and.
“When the light of spring takes its place here~ Blessed saint~! May you have eternal rest~!”
Lark is next. The question is, how does he call…
Are you trying to curb your musical pride?
You’re not going to troll here, are you?
“The light of truth is a blessing~ Eternal rest~ I will remove the darkness from this place~”
…What is the voice?
“Whoa, whoa…”
“Oh my God…”
this child. Singing so well and only singing such grotesque songs?
At the difference, not only me but also Wilkers and Veronica looked at Lark in amazement, and Lark continued the chant with slightly reddened scales.
“The moment the darkness of madness retreats from this place~ Blessings will fall on the saint of spring~”
The chant me and Laark sang as a duet began to strengthen Veronica. She looked at Rark and me with a blank expression, then hurriedly came to her senses and squeezed the mace tightly.
“Goes!”
It was only Veronica that was reinforced by the chant, but that didn’t matter. After going to dungeons with Wilkers a few times, I saw him fight well even in worse situations.
so what we do
“Light~ Light~”
It’s just that they sing the song from the back and let their fingers explode.
[Achievement: Defeated the Pale Moon.]
[As an achievement reward, you can start Event: Church Blessing.]
– Whoa, whoa…
Perhaps thanks to the continuous chant, Veronica’s attack was enough to damage the Pale Moon.
After being beaten by her mace and being hit by the shadow seal several times, the Pale Moon was eventually completely shattered and collapsed, and we could barely catch our breath and stop the chant.
“Have you done it…?”
Looking at the crumbling pale moon, Veronica murmured. Originally, that should have been a resurrection spell, but it was correct.
No, wait. There’s something more important than that.
“Hey! Lark! You sing so well, why do you usually…”
“What?! Like that!”
“That’s right! Son!”
At that level, he sings better than a palace musician or singer. Wilkers and Veronica looked on in amazement as well, and he grumbled, banging his long tail.
“It is said that masters like me have to go the path of masters only.”
Dear… don’t go that way…
The three of us were dumbfounded, but Lark just snorted.
Well, anyway, if you say you’re going to assert your musical values, what would you say?
“…Can’t we stick to the basics at the princess’s birthday party?”
“Heh. I won’t stop until my path spreads to the royal family and nobles.”
oh okay. Please don’t go somewhere else then.
“Whew… So is it over now?”
“It’s over.”
The achievement has been achieved, so the only thing left is to retrieve the item.
I walked to the place where there were traces of the pale moon that was completely broken and silent. In the rubble that remains like stone dust, what I want is…
“found.”
It was a cylindrical sword hilt.
“What is it?”
Veronica was also curious and followed me. There’s no need to hide it, so I showed you what I found.
“A sword hilt?”
“yes.”
“What is this?”
“The weapon called moonlight.”
“A weapon? This?”
“Yeah. That’s how I write it.”
I picked up the lute and brought it to the hilt of the sword, and at that moment, the lute was wrapped in light and absorbed into the hilt.
“Huh? What happened? This?”
“The moon changes shape. Moonlight does the same. If you register a weapon, it changes shape and takes the form of the registered weapon.”
A sage who can use all kinds of job skills must, of course, know how to handle numerous types of weapons.
But how do you carry those weapons?
Even in the game, it was never easy to use the sage properly as there was a limit to the belongings window.
This is because the effect of each skill often rides on the weapon.
As much as that, the developer made a weapon for the sage, and this is it.
I changed the moonlight that had turned into a lute back to its original form and inserted it into the waist dance.
“Sage! So, is it over now?”
I glanced at the curious Wilkers and checked the achievement list.
okay.
finished.
what to do here is
“…Sage. I’ve had a lot of trouble with this incident… Can I stop by the church for a while?”
Veronica, who looked clearly exhausted, looked at me while taking the fragments of the pale moon. It seems that he wants to ask for a witness and explanation for this incident.
Anyway, go to church.
of course i have to go
If you want to get the related event achievement.
