Episode 23
9. Hisperiif Introductory Dungeon (2)
『Bug occurrence / Physics engine error ERROR CODE: 456A』
[Bugs found: 1]
[Fixed bugs: 0]
It was confusing. It’s not the first time I’ve seen a bug, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a monster directly caught like this.
Uh, this is the first time entering a dungeon, so it’s only natural… … ?
So, I was deeply concerned internally as to whether I should fix this or not.
“Have you ever seen anything like this?”
“I’m new to the dungeon too… What should I do?”
It’s complicated in many ways, probably the same as the crew members, and they’re at a loss for what to do in front of the half-half Cave Wolf.
‘If you edit this, it will look strange.’
I have never been able to fix a bug directly in front of others.
The bugfix effect isn’t even noticeable, and it’s absolutely refusal to go out and get a weird gossip.
Any user of Noksu or Imagine Breaker Baek Sanwoo. I don’t like being called by a nickname like that.
“Kyahoo!”
“Can I just hold it like this?”
“Maybe now is an opportunity without resistance.”
Aside from bugs, Cavewolf isn’t a very strong opponent, but it becomes quite troublesome if you summon friends or foes.
If you leave it here, at some point you will be freed from the bug and come attacking the rear.
“catch.”
I resolutely pulled out my sword and raised it.
After all, there is a high probability that the bug will continue to exist even after it is killed. It doesn’t matter if you know the location and come back later to fix it.
I just raised my sword and struck it hard.
The sensation of being torn apart from the flesh of a foreign creature made of magic. A sharp blade cuts through the hide of the Cavewolf.
I didn’t realize it while playing the game, but when I actually felt it, it was more terrifying than I thought.
“Geek!”
A cave wolf embedded in the wall with clean cuts screams and then droops.
“Did you do it?”
“Yeah, clean.”
The droopy guy on the floor soon disappeared like dust, leaving behind a few small crystals.
Unfortunately, there seems to have been no opportunity for the historical cliché to emerge.
[The bug has been fixed.]
[Fixed bugs: 1]
‘what? I haven’t fixed it yet, but will it be fixed if I just kill the subject of the bug?’
Come to think of it, I remembered that the bug was fixed without running the bugfix even on the dock of the first start.
in short.
It’s okay to get rid of bugs that don’t need to be fixed.
In this way, there is no need to make corrections to avoid the gaze of others.
It also means that even if a boss mob gets a bug, you can kill it without using its abilities.
‘If I use this well, I think it’ll be a gag?’
Usually, if you get stuck in a wall, you can only do limited attacks. There is an example of attacking the wrong place like Cavewolf a while ago.
What if, instead of a single monster, multiple monsters or difficult boss monsters get this bug?
Without much effort, with a ranged attack alone, you can repel it, or catch it without any injuries.
And not on monsters, but on me, so I don’t have to break through the ignorant way of driving myself into a solid wall.
‘It’s a pretty useful bug. Finally, a function worth investing in tracking points has come out.’
I thought while collecting the manastones dropped by Cavewolf.
Manastones dropped from monsters can be exchanged for that much Kelly by bringing them to the Faculty after conquering the dungeon.
It was kind of like making a lot of money.
“Okay then, everyone returns to the formation. Let’s go forward.”
Beltane confirmed that he had dealt with Cavewolf, said Beltane.
“It’s better than that. Did you check the guy we’re going to face in advance? I don’t think you need to worry too much if it’s enough to get you down in one hit.”
“i think so too.”
“Mah! Even if you bring a cart like that, you can still win!”
The first monster I encountered looks like that, so it feels like the team members are relieved of their tension.
Before entering the dungeon, some of them, who had been withdrawn, even joked with each other.
Even if the flag-like lines are thick… … .
There are 9 hero candidates, but will they be pushed back by the number?
With such complacency in mind, as we moved forward, we had no choice but to harden.
“Hey, who is that person who just said that?”
With the words that someone spit out as if sighing.
Dozens of twinkling eyes jumped out of the darkness in an instant.
* * *
“Get your mind straight!! You there! Prepare the fire wall! The archers focus on shooting! Beware of misleading allies!!!”
Everyone moves in unison according to the commander’s orders.
Despite the fact that it had been a while since they entered a full-scale melee, the number of monsters showed no sign of diminishing.
‘It’s hard for a dog to run by yourself!!’
I swallowed the swear words that came out of my mouth and continued to cut down Cavewolf.
The endless waves of magic.
The wizards who were in charge of the backbone of the ranks continued to pour their magic, but it must be said that it was elementary magic.
It is not enough to stop the overwhelming quantity.
“Hey hey!!! One! I missed one!”
Is it because the distance between the lines has widened? One cavewolf we couldn’t filter out slipped out of the back row.
“Be careful behind the scenes!!”
Hearing the warning, the wizards were busy devising from the right and left paths, and the guy who passed through the middle of the ranks leapt towards the prey.
“Kyauuuu!!”
“Damn!”
Robin’s scream echoed in the dungeon along with the sound of falling down.
The personnel in the back row, who realized the situation late, aimed their bows.
Robin, who was attacked by Cavewolf, looked like he was clinging to it, so he couldn’t even shoot an arrow hastily.
“What are you doing after fever?”
“You can’t shoot now! If you shoot, he might get hit!”
While everyone is confused, she desperately asks for help with a crying voice.
“Ah! Kyaa Help
But no one was responding properly.
I might get seriously injured in that way.
‘shit!’
I immediately slashed one of the cavewolves in front of me and ran straight to the back row.
If left as it is, the personnel in the back row will not be able to respond properly and it will eventually lead to the collapse of the front row.
“You little bastard!”
Stretching his mouth wide open, he kicked the body of the guy who was about to tear off Robin’s face.
A guy who rolls sideways with a crackling sound.
It flew straight up and put the sword into the wolf’s body. Pujik! The sensation of tearing the leather and piercing the flesh reached his hand, and soon turned into dust and disappeared.
“Nice Cover!”
Beltane, who was controlling the situation, gave a thumbs up.
I approached Robin, who was still shaking, and supported her.
“it’s okay?”
“Yes, yes…”
“Have you not received a vice-armor? Something like a dagger.”
“I knew it wouldn’t be necessary…”
tt It’s not from the basics.
Due to the nature of the archer, which is extremely disadvantageous when engaged in close combat, a dagger is almost essential.
I untied the string that was fastened to my waist and handed the dagger to Robin.
“First of all, I’m holding this. It shouldn’t happen again.”
“Are you okay?”
“The safety of the back row is more important. If you collapse, the front will also collapse!”
I left her questioning in a worried voice and ran forward again, stopping the wolf who was trying to dig inside as before.
A horizontal slash that accurately predicts the direction of the leaping wolf.
It was so certain that it oxidized as it was cut in the air.
“excellent!”
After arranging the situation, Elka, who was in charge of my side, praised me for a quick return.
Even in battle, his face is tickling for some reason.
Recently, I also heard from Camila and Professor Bled that their posture has improved a lot.
‘Maybe I’m a genius? Isn’t this overtaking Aidan?’
As I was about to run the happiness circuit, Beltane’s instructions fell.
“Now there’s really not much left! Everyone push it!!”
Obviously, the number of Cavewolves, which was a huge number, was noticeably reduced. When their heads get smaller, they seem a little sleazy.
There is no better time than now to solidify the victory.
“Let’s push forward with this momentum!”
“Oh oh oh oh!!!”
A flame spear springs up from the wizard’s hand along with the castle, and the archer’s enhanced arrow pierces the monster.
Now it was almost like a one-sided massacre.
As the shell grew darker, there seemed to be fewer than ten remaining monsters.
That said, the magician must step back.
I stopped in front of Beltane, who was singing the next magic, and said,
“Beltane, we’ll take care of the rest.”
“What? It’s okay…”
“Aren’t you thinking about boss battles? What if I run out of mana here?”
The boss of the Hisperiif intro dungeon is divided into three types according to the area.
Among them, in the case of areas where beast type monsters such as cave wolves are mainly appearing, there was a high possibility that 『Wolf King Robo』 would appear as the boss.
As it was described as a giant wolf boasting steel-like skin, it has a very high physical defense.
In other words, among the three bosses, Ortana’s magic is essential.
If you waste your mobs here, the most important boss raid may cause a catastrophe of running out of mana.
Whether my argument was reasonable, Beltane bit the personnel waiting in the back row.
“Then I’ll ask you.”
“OK!!”
The leader’s permission must have been lost. The vanguards, including myself, charged at the remaining ones all at once.
“Ugh!!”
However, the most eye-catching among them was the barbarian Elka of the north.
He ran out with a stout body that was almost naked, and wielded his great sword to mash two nearby cave wolves.
A sight that can only be called violence.
Indeed, it was Elka who later earned the nickname ‘The Barbarian King’.
I also cut about two now, but there was nothing to do because Elka swept them away.
‘Who is not the strongest companion in terms of strength? Just one momentum is killing me.’
“It’s all done!”
Elka returned after destroying all the monsters that escaped by being crushed by his spirit.
As the brutally scattered wolves disperse into ashes, sighs of relief are heard everywhere.
“It’s finally over.”
“I’m out of luck now…”
One by one, the crews slumped to the floor. Everyone had a look of exhaustion on their faces.
But you can’t just take a break.
Beltane decided that there was nothing better to waste more time, so he waved his clenched fists and started encouraging the party.
“Let’s do our best! It’s the 2nd floor boss room soon!”
“Of course. Rest is important, but you can’t hang out in front of the boss!”
Adding to that, Elka’s energetic words created an atmosphere that says let’s do our best because the high ground is right in front of us.
It’s not bad.
A warm comradeship and indomitable will.
They exchanged glances with the Arin undergraduates who had been arguing for a while and nodded their heads, and the expedition that was united once again advances towards a deeper dungeon.
After that, he faced various mobs, but compared to the monster wave that had been raging a while ago, it was a new blood.
Cut down monsters, gather manastones, and move on.
After passing through such a long corridor, we arrived at a huge cavity where blue flames flashed.
What you see in front of you is a large stone gate that gives off a strange atmosphere just by its existence.
“It has arrived. Here it is.”
A voice that came out suddenly echoed.
It was the boss room of the long-awaited introductory Hesperiif dungeon.
