Episode 17: The Mutant Goblin Warrior
There are several types of dungeons in Godose. From the most common dungeons, to the labyrinth type that requires the explorer job, to the single boss type.
There were also several special dungeons and event dungeons, but those were the three most common.
Among them, the Mutant Goblin Warrior’s habitat is a single boss type dungeon.
Whoa!
“and… … .”
It is literally a dungeon with only one boss, and most of the dungeons were inhabited by at least an elite level boss.
As such, it had no choice but to show off its overwhelming majesty compared to the bosses of regular dungeons.
“There’s really no such thing as forced fun… … .”
“Is this the elite boss?”
“This is a game, right… … ?”
The Shield Chief and his party, who faced the majesty from the entrance, could not help but be amazed.
There are many VR games with excellent graphics, so I was familiar with bosses like that, but this was the first time I felt such vivid pressure.
It feels like you are facing a monster in real life.
“eww… … .”
Yubin was rubbing his arms as if he had goosebumps.
Seeing their reactions, Do-hyun also carefully examined the boss.
Crrrrr… … .
He was over 2 meters tall, which was not normal for a goblin, had a muscular body bulging like that of an ordinary orc, and had a howl like an animal.
Can the physical body of that huge monster that doesn’t look that big really be called a goblin?
The eyes of that muscular creature inside the cave, as if waiting for them to enter, were shining with an eerie, sinister glow.
-HP: [20,000 / 20,000]
Even the vitality is an overwhelming figure of a whopping 20,000!
They were on a different level from average goblins, which had hp in the range of less than a thousand at most.
[Mutant Goblin Warrior]
-Title: Elite Boss
-Type: Goblin
-Characteristics: Warrior, Mutant, body strengthening
-Description: A goblin who holds the title Warrior, a title that only great warriors of the Goblin race can have.
He was the greatest goblin in the tribe, but he was cursed and lost his skin color and reason, and was exiled after going on a rampage.
However, the strength of the body became more destructive.
‘Warrior, mutant, body strengthening.’
This is a characteristic that typical close combat bosses have.
Even just one has three threatening characteristics would make a player think twice before attacking.
Plus, his HP was incredible, so he deserved the title of elite boss, but for some reason, Do-hyun didn’t feel particularly nervous.
‘I grabbed 1 million, but it’s about 20,000… … .’
Even I was alone at that time.
Even that is laughable because compared to when they were level 1, they are now level 9 and four.
Of course, I had no intention of letting down my guard.
Rather, what could be toxic to a group was the existence of an elite boss.
“Attention!”
Chief Shield exhaled with force and quietly took out his shield and held it.
Naturally, attention focused on him. Looking at their gaze, Chief Shield asked briefly.
“… … “Everyone knows the pattern, right?”
“Huh? I memorized it.”
“Carrot pataji.”
At this point, Chief Bang Bang made eye contact with Do-hyun and nodded.
Do-hyun’s calm expression was accepted as positive.
And honestly, I didn’t think he would cause any trouble, even though my friends did.
Because it showed such overwhelming combat power.
‘I must do well.’
Here, your role was the most important.
Because he knew that fact better than anyone else, Chief Shield composed himself again and opened his mouth.
“Then let’s go try.”
The moment you step into the cave where the Mutant Goblin Warrior is.
Woah!
The boss, who had been waiting for them to enter while making eye contact with them, let out a powerful roar and rushed at them.
The first pattern was a rush.
Although it was a search war and nothing else, it was a reckless charge, but the rush that that huge body made without any fear was as scary as facing a tank.
When you first encounter it, you can’t help but feel embarrassed, but the Chief Shield calmly shouted.
“Spread out!”
And so, Chief Shield stood alone while his group scattered in all directions.
‘little bit more.’
Of course, I had no intention of striking the shield like this.
Because that was an act of suicide.
The guy’s charge was not at a level that a tank with no defensive skills could block with just a shield.
The moment you touch the shield, it will undoubtedly fly and land on the wall.
And the second you get stunned like that, all the aggro is lost leading to .
“now!”
When I thought it was close, I rolled to the side and a wall was revealed.
The goblin hit the wall that appeared in place of the Chief Shield like a bull, and it eventually stopped moving after accidentally hitting his head on the wall.
[The Mutant Goblin Warrior is stunned for 2 seconds.]
“Everyone, now!”
In the meantime, Yubin and Bijang Takdae, who had quickly formed a formation, fired arrows and magic.
Pubbyu! Pow!
Just one deal without being greedy.
Crrrrr… … .
Immediately after that, the stunned mutant Goblin Warrior turned around and looked around.
The eyes were looking for a target to attack.
Then, when it made eye contact with the Chief Shield, who was responding with his shield raised in front.
Whoa!
Without any hesitation, the goblin rushed in and swung his great sword.
bang!
A heavy sound rang out as the shield and greatsword clashed.
When the shield was getting pushed with his shoulder by the great sword that was pressing so hard, it was as if it was trying to crush him with his shield, the Mutant Goblin Warrior took a small step back.
Nevertheless, the Mutant Goblin Warrior sticks to the shield like a magnet again.
[The unique ability ‘Indifferent Provocation’ is activated.]
[Attracts aggro from the target you make eye contact with, lowering the probability of aggro being released.]
[The attribute ‘Guardian’ is activated.]
[When party members are behind, defense, vitality, and stamina increase.]
It was a moment when the shield’s best characteristics and unique abilities shined.
He shouted after confirming that the aggro had been completely captured.
“That’s Okay!”
Only after hearing the shout of Chief Shield did Do-hyun appear.
He was hidden so as not to be dispersed during the process of catching aggro.
bang! Quang!
Push! pop! Clang!
While he was blocking repeated attacks with his shield, arrows and magic were fired from behind, and Do-hyun also swung his sword and stabbed moderately to avoid being too aggressive.
[‘Chief Shield ‘ applied a status abnormality to the Mutant Goblin Warrior.]
[The Mutant Goblin Warrior is stunned for 1 second.]
Then, whenever I felt a little anxious about aggro, I would cut it off with a well-timed bash.
Considering it’s the first try, it has been a very stable boss fight.
Overall, there are things that do their job well, but the most decisive thing is the shield top.
‘I felt it when I caught the goblin, but it’s okay.’
People often choose the healer or dealer as the most important thing in a boss fight, but that’s something only people who don’t know anything say.
The more stagnant water there was, the more important it was to have a tank.
The success rate varies greatly depending on how well you manage aggro and how well you break the pattern.
This was because as the difficulty of the boss increased, a single pattern often exerted uncanny power.
Therefore, the tanker always had to carry the greatest responsibility on his shoulders.
A battle against the boss on your own, without anyone’s help.
‘A diary conversation with the boss.’
The tanker who was best at it, called Ilgito, was considered a top-class tanker by those in the tanking class.
In that respect, Chief Shield was not showing a bad side.
If you grow well like that, you can be treated well no matter which guild you go to.
In fact, aren’t Yubin and Migantakdae making deals comfortably without taking any risks?
‘Tanks like this are becoming more and more valuable.’
From a long-distance dealer’s perspective, the difference between having a tank and not having a tank who could make it easy to deal damage was more valuable than anything else.
Since there are fewer tanks than dealers, tanks that can do that are bound to receive special treatment.
‘good. Just keep doing it like you do now.’
Chief Shield felt the adrenaline being distributed as if he felt it himself.
The feeling of a moderately tense body heating up with excitement.
Sweat flowed down as my cold head tried to suppress the excitement that seemed to be about to burst, and my entire body’s senses became more sensitive than ever.
Now there is only one pattern left in Phase 1.
‘If you just cut the horizontal cut, it will be stable from then on.’
Continuous horizontal slash.
Once the so-called blender pattern was passed, there were no longer any risk factors in Phase 1.
The blender only appears once per phase.
In other words, it also meant that it was a pattern that was so threatening that once was enough.
But Chief Shield was confident.
‘I read it even before entering the dungeon.’
The ten times that Yubin said?
I read, thought, and ran the simulation to the point where I had already gotten over it.
At what timing is the pattern activated, what is the activation motion… … .
Thanks to you, I’m still making great marks, aren’t I?
As long as you aren’t too nervous, you will be able to cut out the blender pattern.
‘Fortunately, I have enough stamina.’
In order to maintain a stable pace, I put all the points I gained while leveling up into physical strength.
Thanks to this, I had a lot of HP left and 100 stamina remaining.
A situation where there is enough space.
There was one thing that Chief Shield could not consider.
“Uh, huh?”
“It’s a shield! “Shouldn’t we prepare the pattern now?”
“what? why!”
Chief Shield shouted as if he did not understand the urgent voice coming from behind him.
It’s only been about 15 minutes since the trial started, so why bother preparing the pattern?
The horizontal cut was generally a pattern that took 30 minutes.
That’s because it was a pattern that only appeared after HP went below 50%. There was no way a pattern would emerge now.
… … Yes, originally.
“There are now 10,000 units!”
“… … what?”
The Chief Shield paused while holding his shield and opened the boss’ information window.
Then it appeared.
-HP: [10,031 / 20,000]
“… … crazy.”
The vitality has really dropped to 10,000.
And the moment I realized that, a panorama of what the current situation was like flowed through my mind.
In order to reliably hit the attack, Yubin and Gwantakdae are only about 10m away.
And myself and Kaiser, who are close to the boss.
When the blender is activated, you and Kaiser will be the first to fly away, and in an instant, Yubin and Gwandae will be whipped around.
‘Why already?’
Why has its HP already decreased so much?
It was my fault that I didn’t think to open the information window because I was concentrating, but honestly, I couldn’t understand the situation.
The memory of my first goblin hunting flashed by at that time.
‘… … no way?’
At the same time, the name Kaiser flashed through Chief Shield’s mind.
Even back then, I experienced abnormal aggro and hunting speed.
Although I thought it was too fast, it wasn’t unbelievable when the maximum damage of the weapon was added and the characteristics and unique abilities were added.
It took 4 people to catch it, and I thought that with that level of combat skill, that speed could be achieved.
‘… … ‘Dill is that strong?’
But this wasn’t it.
How high is the deal stake if a pattern that normally requires four people to hunt for 30 minutes can be revealed in 15 minutes?
This was not a level that a level 9 player who had chosen a hero god could show.
‘No, will I get this kind of damage if I pick a mythical god?’
Honestly, I don’t know.
Everything was full of questions, but Chief Shield could not continue his thoughts.
Huh-.
While I was dazed for a moment, I had to urgently raise my shield as the great sword came swinging at me.
His movements caught the eyes of the Chief Shield.
bang!
A Mutant goblin warrior who swings a great sword with red eyes, striking a shield, and then grasps the handle with both hands.
It was a unique posture that appeared when a pattern was activated.
‘Bash, bash!’
I urgently tried to swing Bash, but it was already too late.
The shield had already bounced off the guy’s swing during the pre-position.
By the time I adjusted my posture and used Bash, the blender had already been activated, so it was clear that my shield would be shattered.
‘Oh, no… … .’
A red light went on in my head.
It felt like my complicated head was filled with its red eyes, filling my vision.
The moment when I feel faint and break into a cold sweat.
fault!
“… … uh?”
Something passed by with a lively step,
Whilick – sigh.
Big!?
The Kaiser’s sword, which cut elegantly with a picturesque movement, pierced the hand of the man holding the handle.
A sword that pierces naturally like a magnet.
No matter how muscular the guy was, he couldn’t put on muscle all the way to his fingers, and it was only natural for a guy who got stabbed by a sword without trying to swing it to miss the great sword.
Slowly-.
Wow!!
The sound of the great sword falling was drowned out by the screams.
It was a moment when the special move pattern, which was performed only once in the first phase, was in vain.
A mere stab without any skills or characteristics displayed.
“… … oh my god.”
In that ridiculous situation, Chief Shield‘s best friend muttered without realizing it and his eyes turned to Do-hyun.
He had a calm face, as if it was natural.
He was always like that.
It was like that at the beginning, it was like that when fighting goblins, and it was always like that when entering the dungeon.
‘… … ‘How can they do that?’
No matter how good a gamer you are, there is a field.
Even if you are the strongest dealer, you are bound to be bad at tanking or healing, and vice versa.
As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think I have the slightest talent as a dealer.
But… … What should we call this man who is outstanding in all aspects regardless of his role?
He even acts calmly, as if it was all natural.
Chief Shield could not understand, but it was natural for Do-hyun.
Ilgito?
‘If that’s the case, I’ve tried it a lot.’
Funny enough, his role in Kaiser’s party during the Demlock era was as a tank.
