Chapter 490: The Battle of Falcacio Stronghold 1

The overall difficulty of the ‘Lich King’ episode was set too high when compared to the average level of the users in the Korean server of Kailan.

When users first encountered the episode, the level of the undead was too flustering to see.

But if one paid close attention to it, the actual level of difficulty was appropriate.

The monsters that made up the episode were indeed high leveled, but they were all limited to the race of the ‘Undead’, and their attack type was mostly of the ‘dark’ attribute.

In other words, the enemy was composed of only one type, which meant that they were easy to attack.

In addition, the ‘Undead’ race had distinctive strengths and weaknesses compared to the other races, and there was a gap in the contribution between the rankers who had a good understanding of the fact and the normal users.

And right now, in the last battlefield of the episode, the Falcacio Castle, an amazing performance was being shown.

* * *

– Uh, Oh oh! Soul Break! Ian is in danger! Soul Break is charged!

– Even if it is Ian, I don’t think that he can avoid that this time, right?

– Damn! In the time being. All the cooldowns wouldn’t have even returned! The Space distortion had been just used a while back! Oh, Are you maybe going out of the game, Ian?

– You need to hang on a little bit more!

The Death Knight Shawellon.

The named monster Shawellon smashed his ax on the ground as hard as he could.

An intense dark energy started to come up from the cracked ground.

The soul Break, one of the strongest single attacks, was followed by a dark CC, the ‘Dark Bond’.

The target was Ian, a user who could be considered as the leader of the entire expedition.

In a situation where Ian seemed like he would be out of the game any moment now, the relayers sighed in response.

– Oh, if Ian gets out at this moment, then things will turn bad real fast!

– Hines, Ian can’t survive that.

– That… we should see, no? It is a single kill skill with nearly 2000 modulus, and the Death Knight Shawellon is of level 495. There is even a wide dark… I don’t know for sure, but I think that it will give enough damage.

– Oh, I see. There is less than a minute until the Dark Moon falls. Ian made a huge blunder at the very last moment!

– Honestly, it is a bit vague.

– That being said. There is no way to avoid this situation after the trigger of the dark bond.

Soul Break was a single attack technique; however, at the same time, it was a non-targeting skill.

Dip the weapon as hard as one could to create a crack in the ground, and the dark energy that would burst out from the crack would get shot to the enemy.

In addition, the speed of the projectile was so slow that it was almost impossible to hit using it unless it was actually attached to a CC.

However, the skill had one interesting feature.

It was the manner in which the damage would be applied to the target that would be hit.

The final damage of the Soul Break wasn’t determined by the magic damage in the dark energy, but on how strong the floor was hit.

In other words, the damage of the Soul Break was a skill that appears to inflict ‘magic damage’, actually was proportional to the ‘physical attack’ rather than the casters ‘magic attack’.

Ian was currently pinning the mechanics of the Soul Brake.

Which was why he was relaxed.

As the relayer said, almost all of his skills were on cooldown.

‘If I have no skills that I can use, take help and stop it.’

With his feet stuck due to the Dark Bond, Ian began to quickly give out orders.

There was no time to order in detail, and there was no need for it too.

The moment the orders were given by the target, the minion of Ian who had assisted him countless times before began to move.

“Yu Shin!”

“Okay! Warriors Toukon!”

The moment the order was issued, as if he was waiting for the triggering moment, Yu Shin’s hands moved in accordance.

Golden rays of light spread from the palms of Yu Shin, and Ian’s character was quickly wrapped with it.

50% of all the attack damage would be absorbed, and the buff skill of the top warrior class had been activated.

Wooong-!

A faint golden glow spread around Ian!

And that wasn’t the end.

If it was a crisis that could be escaped with the triggering of a single simple buff in the very first place, the commenters wouldn’t have been so worried.

“Hoonie!”

As Ian’s voice came out, Hoonie appeared behind Shawellon and triggered a debuff spell.

“Postmortem Rigidity…”

The Postmortem Rigidity was both a debuff skill and a buff skill.

Regardless of whether one was an enemy or an ally, it could only be activated for the ‘Undead’, and increased the defense by 100% instead of reducing the movement speed and physical damage by 50%.

The damage of the caster would be halved, and the attacker skill would absorb the damage, minimizing the amount of damage he would receive.

It was a great party play that was only possible because of having a complete understanding of the skill ‘Soul Break’.

If the normal damage done by the Soul Brake was around 10 million, then it would have dropped to less than 2.5 million due to the overlap of buffs and debuffs.

Again came the scream from Hines in the middle.

– Unbelievable! This is indeed a crazy display of wits!

A white light fell on Ian.

This time, even before Ian could even say any words.

“Shield of the High Priest!”

A beautiful woman with white wings flapping on the air reached for Ian.

She was Levya, the number 1 ranking priest.

Levya and Remir too joined as the vanguards after the expedition had successfully entered the invasion.

And the very same time, the dark energy entered Ian.

Kwang- Kwang-!

However, the vitality of Ian was in a very bad state.

[The skill ‘Warriors Toukon’ has been activated]

[For 5 seconds, all the damage received from the ‘magic’ attribute will be reduced by 50%.]

[User ‘Levya’ of the expedition triggered the ‘Shield of High Priest’ skill.]

[The ‘Shield of High Priest’ buff lasts for 7 minutes and 30 seconds.]

[Magic defense increased by 30%.]

[The defense type is converted to ‘Divine’.]

[Deadly damage has been received from the death Knight ‘Shawellon’!]

[Vitality has been reduced by 193,098!]

A miracle had occurred and the damage that was supposed to be around 10 million was reduced to one-fifth in a moment.

And the ‘Shield of High Priest’ that was triggered in the last minute was effective in reducing the damage.

The 30% magic defense increase effect wasn’t negligible, but the conversion of the defense properties was the most important part.

The attribute that took in the least damage from the dark attribute was the ‘Divine’ type of defense.

And since the YTBC’s relay screen was on Ian to see the progress, the viewers could see all the system messages that came up.

As a result, the viewers’ board was busy with the reactions of the viewers.

– Lol, Hines, maybe you’ll have to fold the commentary? The damage was only 200,000 not 10 million.

– What? That can’t be? I’m a level 280 class warrior, the Soul Break skill dealt me around 1 million damage.

– Shit, guys. It’s better you guys stay still and not play the game. Stay still and don’t bother muttering…

– I know, right? It was a miracle that they got only 200,000 damage. After that half stiffness and half of the absorption due to the Warrior’s Toukon, and the shield triggered by the priest… maybe if the guys had more time, then the Soul Break probably wouldn’t get 5,000 damage either.

– Kya, they are all embodying the reality of virtual reality. Is that even a possible play?… Oh my!

– By the way friends, isn’t the support great or is Ian greater?

– Well. Isn’t it the support this time? Ian was just standing there.

– Right. Even Ian should be accepting it this time.

– Standing still you say? didn’t you see that it was Ian God who had given out the orders?

– He just called the name, that was orders?

– Lol, he at least did that.

Maybe, before the Kailan’s broadcast improvement, most of the viewers didn’t understand what was going on.

Everything went by in a single moment.

However, as the users’ screen was being shared on the screen, some of those who knew Kailan was quick to analyze what had happened.

It was a matter of course that Kailan had become much more fun.

– While you were talking, Shakran went from behind and ran towards Shawellon!

– Ceilron, Emily till Remir! Everyone is pushing Shawellon relentlessly!

– Wow! By the way, it was a named monster. Even if the rankers are falling on top of that, its vitality isn’t dropping below 90 percent.

The purpose of the expedition is to waste time. The ‘Black Moon’ will fall at any moment now.

– That is right! 15 seconds left! 13 seconds left! 12, 11…

At the countdown of the commentators, the black crescent moon that was in the dark red sky gradually fell down.

As a result, the black sky began to brighten little by little.

– 3… 2… 1..!

Hines was shouting the numbers as it dwindled down.

After a while, a new message emerged in front of all the users of the expedition.

Tring-!

[The ‘Power of the King’ has fallen.]

[The Dark Moon has fallen from the sky.]

[The ‘Dark Bond’ on the Legion of Darkness has been removed.]

[The ‘Legion of Darkness’ soldiers are in a state of ‘burnout’.]

[The ‘Legion of Darkness soldiers’ combat abilities have been reduced by 25%.]

Subsequently, the strong voice of Ian echoed from the middle of the battlefield.

“Party Time!”

Hoonie who was next to him tackled him and decided to speak as he was feeling good.

“Hyung, you speak English too?”

“You talk too much. Just catch the Undead.”

There were hundreds of undead monsters who were close to the level of 500. This was now the time to kill all of them.

This made Ian smile from ear to ear.
