Skill Devouring Up to Floor 666 Episode 134
134. Jason’s Raid Challenge Story
Before entering the 70th Floor.
Jason sought advice from his closest friend, Joshua.
“How is it? Is the raid mission manageable?”
“It was better than I expected.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Though it would be tough alone.”
Joshua, Weihao, Wang Ho Wei, and even Hiromune.
He heard that four people of considerable skill had tackled it together.
Even now that they’ve reached the 90th Floor, they’re still maintaining their party.
‘Something about proving their worth, and they received sponsorship from three gods and became even stronger…’
Perhaps because of that, Jason found it hard to believe his friend’s words.
“Wasn’t it easy because your party was so strong?”
“Well, maybe?”
“Ah, give me a proper answer. This is an important matter.”
“What’s certain is that you absolutely cannot clear it alone.”
“That difficult?”
“Yeah. That difficult.”
Jason, who had been confident in his Spear Arts at least, couldn’t help but be slightly shocked.
“What about with the Supporters?”
“I’m not sure about that.”
A combination of one damage dealer-tank and three supporters.
Jason knew well that it was an ambiguous combination.
It might be fine for one-on-one fights, but when battles with multiple enemies broke out, there were limited people who could fight, so they often fell short.
You could say there were limitations to the combination?
“Still, with three people supporting me, shouldn’t it work out somehow?”
“Maybe?”
“Why are your answers so irresponsible?”
“Because I don’t know either. You guys have such a unique combination.”
“Yeah, I’ll admit that…”
“Whatever the case, you’ll have to try it, won’t you? Your role will be especially important though.”
“I suppose so…”
Jason knows too.
That if he, who has to play both tank and dealer roles, falls, that’s the end.
That all the people who trusted only him and provided support from behind would be wiped out.
‘It was because of that burden that I sought advice from Joshua…’
He returned without hearing any particular solution.
‘It would be the same if I asked Amon.’
In the end, there’s no choice but to face it head-on.
He doesn’t know how strong it will be, but he’s prepared.
He memorized the boss patterns by watching Amon’s ViewTube strategy videos dozens of times.
‘Let’s go.’
He wanted to greet his master before going, but currently he’s busy conquering in the Labyrinth.
Since there’s no telling when he’ll come out, he decided to enter without saying goodbye.
“Hi, everyone. Is everyone gathered?”
“Yes. We’re ready. How about you, Jason?”
“I’m ready too.”
“Then shall we go?”
Jason, who met the Supporters in front of the Sinkhole, nodded with a determined expression and took the lead.
“Let’s go! To the 70th Floor!”
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground 70th Floor.]
《Type: Raid》
《Conditions: None》
《Mission: Defeat 1 Dark Goblin Chief.》
[You cannot exit until the mission is cleared.]
Jason and the Supporters didn’t let their guard down as soon as they entered.
They had heard countless times from experienced players that raid missions were difficult.
“Everyone get your weapons ready. The boss will appear soon.”
Just as Jason said, a boss goblin wearing a Feathered Headband revealed itself.
The first thing it did while holding up its staff was?
“Kiyaat!”
“Kyaaah!”
Summoning 10 Goblins.
But Jason’s party didn’t panic.
They had already figured out the pattern.
“Please give me a buff!”
“Yes!”
Jason, who received the Invincibility Buff, gripped his Spear Shaft tightly.
“I’ll take on the boss. You can handle the Goblins, right?”
“Of course!”
Goblins are just 3rd Floor monsters, so the Supporters alone can handle them easily enough.
He had to deal with the boss before the summoning cooldown ended.
“Come at me, you Goblin bastards!”
[70th Floor Clear Time: 6 minutes 51 seconds]
[You did not surpass the Hall of Fame record.]
At Jason’s feet lay the head of the Goblin Chief.
It took longer to kill than expected.
‘I thought it was just a guy who kept summoning… but it’s pretty tough too?’
Moreover, every time it swung its Staff, the sound of cutting through the air was vicious.
If he had taken even one hit, something would have definitely broken.
‘But I did it!’
Thanks to the Supporters dealing with the remaining Goblins, he was able to have a one-on-one fight with the boss.
“Let’s keep this momentum and tackle the Next Floor?”
“Yes, sounds good!”
72nd Floor, 73rd Floor, up to the 74th Floor.
The Supporters continued their smooth winning streak.
‘Next is the 75th Floor.’
The boss that appears on the 75th Floor is the Dark Orc Hero.
Unlike the others so far, this one doesn’t summon minions – it’s a monster that fights purely with physical prowess.
“What should we do? Should we rest a bit before challenging the 75th Floor? Or should we just go back like this?”
“Jason, you decide.”
“That’s right. Jason is the leader of our Party, after all.”
Jason, who was given the decision-making authority.
To be honest, he had gained some confidence.
From the 70th Floor to the 74th Floor, it was none other than himself who had brought the bosses to their knees.
‘I’m confident in one-on-one fights.’
Whenever he had time, he had been dueling with Amon and had received some help from Joshua too.
He might fall short in terms of strength, but he was confident in the technical aspects.
“Let’s rest and then go in. To the 75th Floor.”
And so they entered the 75th Floor.
[You have entered Labyrinth Underground Floor 75.]
《Type: Raid》
《Conditions: None》
《Mission: Defeat 1 Dark Orc Hero.》
[You cannot exit until you clear the mission.]
“Grrrr…”
A massive orc over 3 meters tall appeared, letting out a ferocious growl.
“Everyone, stay behind me.”
“Will you be okay?”
“Just like before, I’ll handle it alone.”
Jason stepped forward confidently.
“KRAAAAH!”
The enraged Orc Hero instantly stomped its feet.
It was aiming for a preemptive Attack.
But Jason didn’t panic.
He already knew from watching strategy videos.
‘First, I need to dodge the initial Attack.’
Whoosh!
Just as the heavy Axe was about to slice through the air.
Thunk!
He aimed for the Orc Hero’s groin.
“KRAAAK!”
It was in pain, but the Attack didn’t stop.
Whoooosh!
“Kugh!”
Jason barely deflected the axe over his head.
His head almost got chopped off.
‘Thrust!’
Stab!
This time he used a skill to stab the groin again.
However.
“Kraaaak!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Orc Hero swung even more furiously as if more enraged.
‘What? In Amon’s video, it went down in one hit to the groin?’
Of course, the difference in power between Amon and himself was like heaven and earth…
But what monster could withstand being stabbed in the groin?
‘Insane durability, this thing.’
This was no ordinary opponent.
Not to mention its strength.
“Kraak! Kraaaaa!”
The Orc Hero chased after him, bleeding between its legs as if enraged.
‘Crazy…’
Honestly, it was bewildering.
Just evading was overwhelming enough.
‘Was this thing always this fast?’
It was on a different level from the 74th Floor boss he had just faced.
Though it was an advantage that there were no summons getting in the way…
‘If I mess this up, I’m going to die?’
No matter how much he looked for openings to stab, it didn’t lead to fatal wounds.
It only flinched as if pricked by a needle.
‘I only made it angrier instead.’
Jason felt regret.
He instinctively knew this was a boss he couldn’t handle alone.
‘But I can’t retreat here.’
He had to deal a fatal blow somehow.
If he collapsed here, who would protect the Support watching from behind?
“Haat!”
With a battle cry, he deflected the axe and dove between the boss’s legs.
If he was going to target something, he had to focus on one spot.
That was the secret to winning boss battles so far.
Stab!
‘This time it went in deep!’
However.
“Kraaaaaaak!”
Suddenly a red aura emanated from its body.
Crash!
It struck the ground with its axe.
‘That was close. I almost went to my grave… Eek!’
The axe swung as if not giving him time to be surprised.
He quickly fled while looking for an opening to thrust his spear, but.
‘Huh?’
Earlier it at least flinched, but now it didn’t even budge.
‘Is this what they call Berserker that I’ve only heard about?’
They said when it takes a certain amount of damage, its attack power increases and it stops feeling pain…
Whoosh! Whoom!
This really wasn’t easy.
Its movements became much faster than before.
Because of that.
Thud!
[Cloud’s Protection effect activated.]
“Ah.”
I accidentally allowed an attack to get through.
‘This is bad.’
For the next 5 seconds, I’m in an invincible state.
But after that, I’ll have to risk my life.
There are no more safety measures beyond this.
‘Then I might as well…’
I need to take advantage of this opportunity while invincibility is active.
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!
I unleashed a series of Thrust attacks, even mixing in skills.
The creature screamed and swung its axe, but it bounced off due to my invincibility.
[Cloud’s Protection effect has ended.]
Eventually, the duration came to an end.
5 seconds was shorter than I thought.
Despite all those stabs, it still looked lively.
‘I’m screwed.’
Having invincibility or not makes a bigger difference than expected.
It’s like the difference between bungee jumping with or without safety equipment.
I can’t help but feel psychologically intimidated.
‘But I can’t give up!’
I’ll do my best until the very end.
Just then, the red aura faded and the Orc Hero’s Berserker was deactivated.
But the situation didn’t improve at all.
If anything, it became more dangerous.
“Kroaaaaa!”
The pain stimulated the Orc Hero, making it go berserk.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Jason was flustered by the wildly swinging axe attacks.
Whether he had slowed down or the creature had gotten faster, just dodging was overwhelming.
He wondered if such haphazard attacks could possibly work, but.
Swoosh!
Unfortunately, they did.
‘Ah.’
The moment he saw the axe falling toward his head, Jason had a premonition.
He couldn’t dodge this.
He was going to die like this.
But at that moment.
“Kruk?”
A Bright Light obscured his vision.
Crash!
The axe barely missed him.
The Orc Hero’s gaze turned to one side.
The person who shot the Bright Light was none other than Park Se Hee.
When Jason was in danger, she created a brief opening.
“Jason! Now’s your chance!”
Taking advantage of the distracted gaze, he jumped and thrust his spear.
Swoosh!
‘Damn it!’
The spear aimed at the neck unfortunately only grazed the neck area.
“Kruuuuu!”
Thump thump thump!
The creature’s aggro suddenly shifted to Park Se Hee.
“No, don’t! Hey you pig bastard! Come back!”
The Orc Hero charged toward where the Supporters were.
Park Se Hee, who was now facing total annihilation after trying to help, said.
“Over here! Come this way!”
She waved her hands to lure the Orc Hero.
It was a measure to prevent other party members from getting caught up in it.
Drawing its attention was successful.
The Orc Hero targeted exactly Park Se Hee alone.
The problem was that without an Invincibility Buff, she couldn’t face the creature for even a single second.
‘Ah… no!’
It was too late to block.
The distance between the two had closed.
Whoosh!
The moment the massive axe came crashing down toward Park Se Hee.
Clang!
An unknown protective barrier deflected the axe.
‘What? An invincibility buff?’
No, it looked different from that.
While the invincibility barrier had a green tint, this one was blue, wasn’t it.
“Grrrk? Grwaaaah!”
The creature wildly swung its axe trying to break through the barrier.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The mysteriously solid protective barrier lasted for a full 30 seconds or so.
‘Who cast the protective barrier? What the hell is going on…’
Just then, Jason’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out.
A familiar person had appeared inside the Labyrinth.
