Episode 68.
[Keuhwaaaag!]
[Kiraat!]
The Lizardmen weren’t the only things in the temple of the thunder god, Laia. There was only Lizardman on the basement, first floor, and second floor, but if you went to the third, fourth, and fifth floors, there were quite a few flying monsters. Giant bees were fluttering their wings to create lightning, and giant birds were shooting lightning from their mouths!
[Bibbit!]
[Beeeeeeeeeee!]
“I have wings, too!”
Yong Se-ha rushed recklessly into the midst of monsters. The butterfly wing caused a gust of wind, and the moment it shook Yong Se-ha’s back strongly, his Lance penetrated the monsters’ bodies. It was unfortunate that he couldn’t use the Doom Knight’s skeleton lance due to his lack of strength, but he could still break down the monster herd with his ability.
“Wooooooh!
[Kiraaat! Kiraat!]
“Hmph…!”
Yong Se-ha didn’t have the same lightning resistance as Jung Si-woo. Instead, he had a round shield with the ability to reduce damage from attacks and protect him against condition anomalies. His shield’s ability had also been reduced in the process of retiring, but it had fortunately recovered to some extent as his level rose. That was why he was able to charge steadily even though the lightning attacks struck him.
“Bring it on!”
Yong Se-ha was the warrior who was the leader of the party! He looked like an elite player as he killed monsters in the temple with his provocation skills. However, it was a little different from his previous combat style before retirement.
“Ohhhhh! Lance Charge!”
[Kyahag!]
[Kyaoooo!]
When he was active in the guild, he was always afraid of retirement, and even though he was armed with hard armor, he always left a little room for his movements. He had left some room to turn or stop if there was an inevitable attack coming in during a rush. Naturally, the power of the rush was less powerful, and it was a movement that wasn’t suitable in practice, although it may have been completed with skills. Maybe that’s what eventually made him retire.
However, after retirement, as a supporter of Jung Si-woo, he gained some enlightenment by watching from the side and using disruptive charge and that superior battle sense of dealing with emergencies using the rebound of his powers. There should be no hesitation in rushing. In the first place, the rush was aimed at killing the opponent and hesitating even before the results; there was no way to make a proper attack.
You could react if you don’t kill them, but if you don’t use all your strength, it only increases the chance that the enemy will survive. Of course, he needed the boldness to believe in himself and the sense to control his body, but he could now imitate Jung Si-woo after seeing his movements. It was like the saying that even a dog can recite the seasons within three years. Most of all, he had wings to support his mobility! Nobody understood what he was so afraid of after retirement, especially when he had such a powerful weapon that even Jung Si-woo was envious of!
“Hooooooooo!”
[Kyag!]
[Kiakagagag!]
“Okay, you’re doing great, Se-ha.”
While Yong Se-ha was bravely flying around the temple, Jung Si-woo was also moving fast. However, he focused on breaking through rather than trampling on all the monsters. His first goal is to kill the elite monsters. If the thunder god descended into an elite monster that was two or three times stronger than other monsters, it wouldn’t end as a joke. It was fortunate to have Yong Se-ha fight because he was effectively drawing the monsters’ attention. But the problem was that these damn elite monsters were spread throughout the temple.
“Hmph, this isn’t a small temple. It’s just too wide…!”
[Luhaaaaaaaaa!]
While Jung Si-woo was warming up, he detected mana everywhere. The monster’s roar shocked Jung Si-woo’s body and made him stop. There was a Lizardman covered in sharp, hard scales. However, it was twice as big as the other Lizardmen, as tall as Goliath.
“You’re an elite, too!”
[God’s voice calls me. How dare you insult our God!]
Its tongue was sticking out of its mouth, but Jung Si-woo’s unforgiving Cruel Charge slashed into its torso. How dare an extra speak so long! Even if Charlie Chaplin forgave him, Jung Si-woo couldn’t.
“Okay, then…”
He put its body right in his inventory. It was also bothersome to hear from Lee Seo-hee that the monster’s body was valuable, but most of all, it was a waste of time to rummage around to extract mana stones from an Elite’s body.
[Time remaining for the descent – 15:18]
He had only just killed two elite monsters, and it had been almost three minutes! The remaining number of elite monsters was about ten, and among them, there was only one man who had the power to surpass the giant electric eel.
“Hmph.”
But the conclusion was always simple. You have to drag your body. His lightning resistance is level 4, so he could still move even after being hit by an electric eel’s lightning.
“But I’m still nervous…”
Jung Si-woo took some glass bottles from his inventory and kept them in his arms while holding the others in his hand. What he put in his arms were potions for physical strength and mana and what he had in hand…
‘I see an elite…I’ll try one for now.’
Jung Si-woo threw the glass bottle with all his strength. The giant elite wasp rubbed its wings to create a bolt of powerful lightning and shot it right before it was hit by the glass bottle!
[Kiraaaaaaaaaaa!]
The foam then detonated a massive explosion, causing fatal damage to it. Its wings quickly burned away, and it fell to the floor, starting to breakdance with a creepy sound.
“This isn’t the explosive power of a low-grade potion!”
[The potion produced in the refrigerator is affected by the player’s basic ability.]
[Explosive potions are enhanced by the impact properties and strength that stimulate the potion.]
“Oh, yes.”
His expectations increased. Jung Si-woo smiled with satisfaction as he hit the debris falling over his head with his hammer and killed the wasp.
“Then let’s go wild!”
There were four explosive potions left, three freezing ones and two poisoning ones. He boldly broke the poisoning and explosion potions at the same time. It took care of all the monsters in that area.
“I found another one!”
[Crawaaaaaaaaa!]
Jung Si-woo became a bomber as he roamed the temple. In addition to poisonous explosions, freezing and explosive potions were thrown at the same time, causing ice debris to explode, which prevented the attacks of the lightning bird with an ice barrier.
[Cruuuuuu…kkiiiiig!?]
“Argh!”
Jung Si-woo’s hammer struck the lightning bird, then it flew over the ice wall while flapping its wings in anger and flew away due to Jung Si-woo’s hammer strike. Jung Si-woo felt his highest as he recovered the dead body of the lightning bird.
“This is fun, isn’t it?”
Soo Ah-rin, who advised him not to use all the potions at once, was now guarding the underground warehouse! Since there was no one telling him what to do, Jung Si-woo was in a rush. It was only after killing five more elite monsters that Jung Si-woo realized that he had no more potions to throw.
[Time remaining for the descent – 9:28]
“Ah.”
If Ah-rin were next to him, he would’ve been in trouble. Jung Si-woo nodded solemnly. Fortunately, he was able to kill a large number of elite monsters in a small amount of time, and he still had a lot of mana left.
[Kyahaaaa!]
“Oh, good timing.”
There was an elite monster who rushed to Jung Si-woo only after the explosions stopped. It was the elite monster with the most mana in this temple! It looks similar to the electric eel, but it seems to be an upgraded version of it that looked thicker.
“Are you guarding the altar or something?”
[Kyahaaaa!]
Instead of answering, he sent out a thunderstorm. Jung Si-woo hurriedly smashed the nearby wall with a hammer, reducing the power of the lightning that hit him while he clicked his tongue. But at that moment, coincidentally, a message popped up.
[The rate of destruction: 72%]
[The structure of the temple becomes loose, and the absorption rate of the thunder god’s rifle becomes faster. Time Remaining – 9:11]
“I’ve never heard of this before.”
[Geeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Kirrrrr!]
He was so surprised that he couldn’t avoid the lightning that the monster fired, but Jung Si-woo’s expression was very bright. Yes, he just had to destroy the temple as he first thought!
“Let’s get started!”
[Kyaleuuuuu!]
“Oh, you want to help? Thanks!”
From that moment on, Jung Si-woo began to damage the elite monsters while destroying the temple. He had been destroying the temple so far, but he was even more aggressive about it now! The crustacean eel, elite monsters such as the supermassive wasps, and the supergiant Lizardman followed him. But the more they made a fuss, the faster the collapse of the temple was accelerated, so Jung Si-woo was glad to see them!
[The rate of destruction: 77%]
[The rate of destruction: 81%]
[The structure of the temple becomes loose, and the absorption rate of the thunder god’s rifle becomes faster. Time Remaining – 5:13]
[Time remaining for the descent – 7:36]
Meanwhile, the time required for the rifle to be completed finally decreased past the time required for the descent of God! Now, even in the worst-case scenario, all he has to do was run away with his rifle! Of course, that didn’t mean that Jung Si-woo would quit his destruction. The fourth and fifth floors had already collapsed completely, and if only the pillars supporting the third-floor collapsed, he could bring the temple down. If so much were to collapse at once, the second floor wouldn’t hold out, and the first floor was already in the basement, so the inside of the temple would be reduced to dust.
The thought of the scene gave him a thrill. One by one, the small bits of destruction caused greater destruction. It was very interesting to generate results beyond one’s own power.
“Let’s take architecture seriously.’
That way, he would be able to break buildings! Even though he was already a good enough destroyer, Jung Si-woo was constantly trying to keep his head above water. It was truly commendable.
[Gyaaaaaag!]
[Gueeeeeee!]
“They’re this way!”
Jung Si Woo was using the Cruel Charge to destroy everything and lure the elite monsters. The monsters had already been anger and couldn’t think of anything. They blindly followed after Jung Si-woo, like mice following the Pied Piper of Hamelin.
“Okay, that’s it…hmm!”
In fact, the temple’s central pillar was already greatly twisted as soon as the rifle began to resonate. However, since it was so thick and huge, it still looked fine on the outside. It was only a matter of time before it collapsed, but Jung Si-woo wanted to shorten that time.
“Hooooooooooo…!”
As soon as Jung Si-woo reached the pole, he stopped his feet and threw his hammer with all his strength and his mana! There was a tremendous sound at the moment of the strike, and the center of the pillar was turned. It was a 100 out of 100.
[The rate of destruction: 88%]
[Kuwaaaaaaaaa!]
The next moment, monsters came in. They didn’t even know what Jung Si-woo did; they just saw him in front of them, so they poured out lightning and attacked him. Of course, Jung Si-woo predicted it, and at the very moment of the attack, he smashed the floor with a hammer, falling to the second floor with a cruel smile!
[Kilaaaaaaaa!]
[Keuluooooos!]
Naturally, the attacks of those who lost their targets were all poured into the central pillar on the third floor, which was just around the corner of Jung Si-woo. The pillar, which was twisted by Jung Si-woo’s hammer, couldn’t withstand the attack and was destroyed.
[The rate of destruction: 91%.]
[The rate of destruction: 92%]
[The rate of destruction: 93%]
[The rate of destruction: 95%]
Then, the Great Collapse of the Temple began!
