Episode 285 Blood Flame Beast (3)
‘Acupoint scanning!’
Rakiel opened his eyes wide.
There is nowhere else to retreat from here. I don’t know how I ended up having a snowball fight with such a monster, but that doesn’t mean I can see any way to avoid it or avoid this situation.
A square blocked off by a barrier.
If you want to get out of here, you have to overcome it.
That’s all.
Ding dong!
A notification sound hit my ears. Rachiel focused on the information that came before her in order to understand the weaknesses and characteristics of the blood-flame beast.
But….
[The distance from the target you are looking at is too far.]
[Exclusive option for pulse skill ?: Acupoint scanning can only scan targets within 10 meters.]
[Please narrow the distance to the scan target. ]
“….”
Damn.
A moan escaped me without even realizing it.
‘Do you want me to get closer to something like that?’
He raised his head.
A blood-red monster that boasts the size of a building and stands tall as if it were dominating the center of the square. It has short legs, a bulky body, and a whopping five-pronged snake head on its giraffe-like neck.
What on earth should we call that? Hydra? It’s similar to that, though. No, anyway, approach a monster like that? Within 10 meters?
‘If I do that, I’m going to die?’
It was the first thought that naturally occurred to me.
It was natural.
He himself has no problem.
He did not have a strong body like Urus, the beast-like senses of Damian, or the vast mana of other sword masters. If I were to be specific, I could say that I have at least one thing that others do not have.
‘Anchovy weak physical. shit.’
Rather, it is a body that is inferior to others. But what if you rashly approach such a monster and get stepped on just once? What if I just brush against it? Death is confirmed immediately. Sometime today, you will sit face to face with King Yeomra and receive career counseling. It is certainly.
But that doesn’t mean I can stay still.
“…majesty?”
Sir Roberto, Captain of the Guard, creeps up next to him.
Unlike a little while ago when he suffered from acute anemia, his complexion now seemed to have completely recovered. Of course, it was thanks to the effectiveness of the snake gaksan that this person fed properly.
But is it because I felt the power(?) of such emergency measures with my whole body? Sir Roberto, the commander of the imperial guard and the emperor’s closest confidant since his youth, began to show dependence on this side.
“How do you plan to respond from now on?”
“….”
I wanted to ask, isn’t that something you, a combat expert, should think about? But I endured it. The way Sir Roberto looks this way. It was a look in his eyes that already regarded him as the leader in the current situation.
‘From Sir Roberto’s perspective… is it natural?’
He must have been struggling with sudden dizziness and helplessness for which the reason was unknown. He must have been embarrassed because no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get up. But this is some powdered medicine. Thanks to that, I was able to regain my full condition, so my perspective on this area has changed even more.
This was the same for others who took Baemaksan and overcame anemia.
“Your Majesty, just give me an order and I will follow it.”
Sir Chiersa, the other swordmaster of the imperial family, stood side by side, holding his sword tightly. Lord Eisel, a Holy Knight of the Holy Church, also silently raised his shield.
“If our elders had seen something like that, they would have ordered it to be dealt with immediately.”
Elven executioner Sylvia was loosely holding two daggers, ready to jump out at any time. Urus also snorted and flexed his overwhelming pectoralis muscle.
In other words, all personnel who can participate in the current battle are now looking at this direction. Ask me to lead you. He said he would follow my words.
“….”
It was burdensome. But on the other hand, I just can’t ignore those looks. Because of heroism? That sounds like a no-brainer.
‘If I want to survive, I have to utilize them appropriately. Because I will never be able to overcome this situation alone. So I have to lead.’
I can do it.
I have other things besides my sickly body. Acupoint scanning. The ability to observe the target’s mana flow. If that were the case, it would also be possible to reveal the movements and weaknesses of that blood-red monster. We might be able to coordinate the most efficient attack and defense.
Then….
‘Whew.’
After much thought, Rachiel made a decision. I took out the thorn from my chest. It was a black K-flavored thorn.
‘To activate acupuncture point scanning, you have to approach within 10 meters and to do it safely…’
This is the only way.
The moment I made my decision, I stabbed him in the shoulder.
At the same time, a memory from my 6th grade in elementary school vaguely came to mind. okay. The day I got shot at school. I was hit with a shoulder strap. Right here. It hurt like this back then too. No, compared to now, I don’t think the fire injection was that painful back then.
So…
‘…that! That level! pole!’
As soon as I stabbed my shoulder with the K-flavored black thorn, I felt extreme pain. It wasn’t just the punctured area that hurt. The duodenum danced a twist. The heart gave a high five to the kidneys. The frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex was bungee jumping and slapping the sphincter.
But I endured it.
Just like it has always been. Like all the days of patience and self-denial. I clenched my teeth. I watched the sparks of nervous excitement flash before my eyes. And finally the pain stopped. The message I was waiting for came to mind.
Ding dong!
[You have self-blasted the black thorn with the K-taste effect.] [
The true effect of the K-taste is applied to you who have overcome the hellish pain.]
[The K-taste thorn effect is activated.]
[You ‘s metabolism is rapidly accelerated to ‘8282 mode’!]
Huuuuk-?
‘Sigh!’
A message colored in red.
The vision fluctuates in an instant. It was as if a drop of transparent ink had been dropped into the world. The world is distorted behind the spreading ink.
And from then on, my heart starts beating like crazy.
thud! thud! thud! thud! Coo thump! thud! thud!
“…!”
My breathing became faster. My pulse raced like a rhinoceros that had been hit by a single shot of fire. All cells woke up at once and screamed. Tell me to move. Run. I can do it. Faster than the wind. As quickly as a flash fire.
The moment you realize that feeling.
Rachiel kicked the ground.
“Damian! Follow me!”
Wow!
My vision slowly slipped. The paving stone pattern on the floor of the square changed from plane to line. I raised my head. The bloody monster was growing huge in no time. No, it’s getting closer. The distance was narrowed in an instant. The distance from him is now 9 meters.
There, acupuncture point scanning was activated again.
Ding dong!
Is it because of the faster metabolism?
The scanning activation speed has also increased significantly.
‘do!’
The scanning results came to mind.
[Acupuncture point skill option ?: Activates acupuncture point scanning.]
[Acupuncture point scanning option has detected the Lock-on target.]
[The target has been successfully Lock-on.]
The field of view has changed.
Bright outlines were drawn on parts of the body of the towering blood-red monster. Very few. Just one bat.
‘uh?’
Rachiel was shocked.
I felt powerful for a moment.
‘Why is only one of those being scanned? Wait a minute, this can’t be right…’
Suddenly, I remembered the process of the warlock transforming into a blood-red monster. A magic circle that appeared countless times above the square. Hundreds of thousands of bat colonies that flew through that magic circle came together to create the current bloody monster.
Then….
‘Is that still a colony of bats?’
It seemed like that was the reason. I turned on acupoint scanning, but only one bat was scanned.
‘…okay. Acupuncture point scanning was limited to creatures within a range of 10 meters and could only lock on to one target at a time.’
But that thing is a colony made up of hundreds of thousands of animals. So of course… you can’t scan the whole thing!
‘Damn it!’
It was then.
Nosferatu, the blood-flame beast of Anansha, who had been standing tall in the center of the square as a reward for casting ‘Hildert’s Gluttony’, finally moved one of its heads. Thousands of pairs of eyes looked down at Rakiel and smiled.
‘To see the crown prince struggle?’
Anansha snorted inwardly.
The overwhelming power he possessed. I even felt like I had become a god. He was confident that no matter what the sword masters below did or what the prince planned, they would not be able to inflict any damage on him.
It was still the same now.
‘okay. Go on a rampage. Struggling to survive. But… will there be time for that? no.’
I have no intention of giving that time from the beginning. It was for the same reason that he wasn’t moving at all right now.
This was because it would be much more efficient to gather strength to cast Hildert’s Gluttony and absorb a large amount of blood rather than bothering to move one’s body and attack the crown prince and his group directly.
‘I don’t know how I recovered from anemia, but would that be possible even if my blood was taken away again? ‘Not that either.’
If that were possible, it would have healed everyone in the square. But the crown prince was not doing that. Only a few people, including his black-haired escort, were treated. Even the emperor neglected it. The meaning is clear.
There is a limit to treatment capacity. If everyone falls into anemia again, treatment will no longer be possible.
‘So…’
Kugugu.
The beast of Anansha Blood Flame crouched. It raised its five-pronged head. I can cast Hildert’s Gluttony again. A large amount of blood will be absorbed. Then it will be over. Everyone is now collapsed from anemia and struggling like bugs.
‘…die.’
Prepared to roar.
It contained Hildert’s gluttony.
But that was then.
“Demiaaaan-! That guy! The lower root of the fifth protuberance protruding on the left side! “Stab!”
The crown prince suddenly shouted. At the same time, a black-haired escort was seen running towards me. Toward your left side. He kicked off the ground and leaped. He flashed his long sword and aimed it. Below one of the small protrusions on the side.
Phew!
stabbed
But Anansha just snorted.
I didn’t feel anything. This was because only a few bats in that area of the side where the stab wound had been pierced had died. Other than that, there was no other damage. I just listened to the thought that it was the same.
‘You’re just going to stop me with an attack like this?’
He continued what he was doing with his sneer growing deeper. In other words, he unleashed the power of blood flame and roared.
Quoaeook-!
It was the same as before.
Now a bloody tsunami will rise and spread throughout the square. Everyone exposed to that tsunami will suffer massive blood loss. Those suffering from anemia will die from this, and some who were lively for a while will also become helpless again and struggle like insects.
Anansha was convinced and cheered.
But that feeling didn’t last long.
‘…uh?’
Tilt.
‘Why doesn’t the blood flame tsunami… happen?’
It was strange.
It definitely roared the same way as before, but I cast Hildert’s Gluttony and nothing happened. Only empty shouts echoed through the air.
‘why?’
It was a moment when I wondered…
Phew!
Suddenly, the thousands of bats that formed Nosferatu’s five throats exploded and began spraying blood.
‘Gagging?’
Shock as if my vocal cords were blocked! Anansha looked away in embarrassment.
Where the gaze is directed.
There, Rachiel was busy running and attempting acupoint scanning. Stubbornly. If your teeth don’t work, use your gums. With the mindset that if it doesn’t work once, you can try hundreds of times.
I borrowed the power of 8282 mode. Acupoint scanning was turned on and off at ultra-high speed hundreds of times per second. Each time, the scanning lock-on target was changed. Hundreds of bats were scanned and released repeatedly.
It’s like motion capture by identifying the movement of a person’s body with just a few dozen dots. We were finally able to understand the approximate movements of hundreds of thousands of colonies and the flow of energy and blood connecting them.
“Sir Roberto! Run under that guy’s boat! Urus! Confrontation from the front! Sir Chiersa! “Detour to the rear!”
The emperor and the second prince, who fell helplessly, countless nobles, the head of the Holy Church, and thousands of citizens of the imperial capital. Everyone trapped in the great plaza looked on with earnest eyes, while Rachiel’s unerring and accurate command, or a large-scale special acupuncture lecture (? ) has begun.
