Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 178



Only Noblemtl

178

A volcano erupts, an earthquake occurs, and named monsters are swarming before your eyes.

It was a series of events that would have been embarrassing if only one had occurred, but at least one thing was certain.

“Ms. Vivi! Please keep Agnes in check!”

“Mr. Jinsang, are you going to catch Mateka?!”

“I’m not catching-…but! I’ll deal with it! And Chili Shrimp-nim-”

“Okay, okay. Don’t worry about the mobs and just do something quickly! I’ll invite everyone over like it’s a company outing!”

There is no one here who is just frozen and does nothing.

Even though they weren’t talking to each other, Jinseong and Bibi had a good sense of who had to deal with what.

The same goes for the chili shrimp that helps it along.

While summoning all of his summoned creatures to fight the four named monsters, the summoner himself, Chili Shrimp, was circling around Vivi or Jinseong, ready to swing his whip at any moment… … .

“Sister Chili! I’ll take care of the thought patterns! Go deal with Agnes’ clone for a bit!”

“I can do it too… but! It’s a hassle to give instructions to our employees one by one-. Okay, then Vivi, you make it melt while doing the thought pattern, I’ve got you holding it!”

“Yes-sul!”

Even in the midst of all this, if there were patterns that were difficult or easy to deal with, the act of organically giving and receiving objects was enough to show how much the two people’s hearts were connected.

In addition, Jinseong’s performance was also overwhelming.

“Kyaaaaaaaah-!”

“, , , -.”

The regular Tartan tribe that was summoned along with the 4 named monsters blocked Jinseong’s path, but it was no use.

Using a combo that inflicted fatal damage to them with each skill while also incorporating the movement skill , Jinseong activated the fifth skill of the combo, a skill that increased damage by 200%, near Mateka.

“!”

A skill that even made the clone Cassillas, who had been summoned by Chili Shrimp, feel a little scared!

Even at this point, the power of Black Ball, Soldoros, and Yang-Eol was still there, so the true destructive power was just as strong as before.

Kaaaaang-!

But the clear and beautiful sound that hit Mateca’s barrier was only once.

This means that during the attack, which has a three-stage damage system that explodes while going, coming, and returning, Mateka, who lightly turned around, was only hit once in the first attack.

Jinseong bit his lower lip, but laughter was actually coming from somewhere.

“Hahaha, even I couldn’t get through it, so how can you do it to that extent! Push harder, harder, harder!”

Jinseong responded to Casillas’ words, who always showed his happy and joyful disposition regardless of whether it was a battle or a crisis.

“It was going to be like that anyway! , , , -.”

is definitely strong.

However, it is not the ‘strongest skill’ for Jinseong at the moment, as he cannot hit all of the attacks that are structured in three stages.

One of those ranged attacks that is difficult to dodge with simple movements!

“-!”

───────────… … !!!

Countless swords imbued with the power of darkness poured down toward Mateka.

It was only for a moment that those white eyes glanced upward.

“Ugh!”

If you can’t avoid it by simply moving, you can avoid it by teleporting.

Mateka, who disappeared in an instant, was already outside the range of .

“Tch, if you avoid it like that-”

“Hahahaha, I was waiting for that, you idiot!”

The one who rushed in at that exact moment was Casillas’ clone.

Watching his rushing movements as if he was just waiting to dodge Jinseong’s attack, Jinseong also used the power of the black ball to immediately match his steps.

“!”

Even Kashias, who is aiming for a double-edged sword, and Jinseong, who approaches as if trying to pierce Mateca’s barrier with the rotating !

Their connection was certainly not bad.

─────────────!

The unfortunate thing was that Mateka had the ability to teleport.

‘There’s no cooldown… … How long has it been since I dodged the Bulwark? Damn it.’

It’s not easy to break through the barrier, but what should you do if even that doesn’t hit?

As Jinseong was worrying, the voices of two apostles were heard.

“Kuuuuu, open up. Show me, Jinseong.”

[Have you forgotten the power you were going to use to deal with that ignorant swordsman… … . Knock knock.]

Casillas’ clone is looking forward to it.

Direji’s other self is waiting.

There is clearly a hidden power in Jinseong, and the moment when he can activate it at will.

“ah…….”

Jinseong finally realized it.

If only we could catch Mateka so that he can’t teleport.

‘In that state, it would be best to use , but I don’t think that will work.’

Countless future realities that existed within the timeline.

It was a skill I could use because I met them and also took their power.

If not, you will have to reach level 85 to acquire the skill, so you will have to admit that it is impossible for now.

But it doesn’t matter if you can’t use .

‘It could be possible. The power of the Dark Knight. If we can capture that moment of time and space… … .’

It might be possible to break it with a combo of and .

Before chasing Giselle in the Castle of the Dead.

I had already felt it vaguely once.

Jinseong clearly realized this when he faced the clone of Casillas.

Jinseong took a deep breath as he recalled that time.

Did he sense the change? Soon, Mateka’s voice rang in Jinseong’s head.

[A power beyond the ordinary… … Is that also something that was granted by the Transcendent? Is the fate that is played by Caloso and the Transcendent he created trying to block my path?]

His remarks were nothing short of encouraging.

If he is talking because he feels a sense of crisis, it means that the direction he is currently working towards is not wrong.

‘Be quiet. Are you trying to disturb my concentration? Hoohoo… … I’m the one who wants to say this. You know too much. I’m sorry, but I have to end it here. I won’t be the one to strike the final blow, though.’

Jinseong said confidently.

It’s definitely not my imagination that makes my body feel hot with every breath I take.

[I must meet the Transcendent One. I will summon him myself by eliminating you.]

‘Do you think I’ll come out just because of that? I don’t know what you know about Caloso! Anyway, it’s over now. Haaah… … .’

He rushes in and stops Mateka’s space-time for a moment.

And then, through a series of skill attacks, the barrier is broken.

It would be nice to inflict fatal damage if possible, but it doesn’t have to be.

If you can just create a moment of opening, the skills of the ‘adventurer’ Chili Shrimp’s Kashias and the ‘adventurer’ Vivi, who matches the Chili Shrimp’s attacks, will pour out.

[There is no way to know whether he will come out or not.]

‘Okay, so just die quietly-.’

Jinseong wanted to run.

If it weren’t for Mateka’s words at that moment, it certainly would have been so.

[But, egoless tool, if what you fear is ‘contamination’… … I mean, I am willing to take that risk to bring in the Transcendent, Nemer.]

pollution.

And the name of Nemer.

How far into Jinseong’s own memories and information has he read?

‘-……uh?’

Whoop, the breathing I was holding became distorted.

It can’t be just my imagination that all the energy that was running high has disappeared.

Mateca, who was wealthy, looked down on Jinseong.

Then he shouted.

“If you can stop it, try to stop it. It might be faster if you get rid of me. It might be faster if all the humans following you disappear.”

Jinseong’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment.

It was an effort to interpret Mateka’s words, but there was no need to do so.

“what-.”

“We’re just moving forward believing we’ll be faster! Are you okay, Jinseong?”

“-Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden, Mr. Chili Shrimp?”

Because there wasn’t only Jinseong here.

Jinseong tilted his head, but Chili Shrimp looked more embarrassed.

What was the reason Jinseong remained and fought Mateka until now?

Since you knew everything, didn’t you make the decision to deal with Mateca before that?

“Mateka said earlier! He said he’d wipe out all the humans following him! Aren’t you talking about the Noble Sky?”

“……yes?”

But now Chili Shrimp was speechless at Jinseong’s bewildered reaction.

Only after hearing that did I realize the truth.

This is Anton Reid, but it’s not Anton Reid.

There is no such thing as an in-game situation board.

Casillas’s clone laughed heartily.

“Hahaha, that must be why that foolish turtle changed direction. It doesn’t matter! I’ll turn your body into dust before you take two more steps!”

It’s not just what Mateca said.

You have to see and feel everything with your own eyes, including Anton’s progress.

In the end, it means that Jinseong and Bibi faced a situation that would have made their eyes widen, something that would have been unimaginable if it weren’t for the chili shrimp that had done ‘Anton Jjol’ countless times.

“Changed direction-……that thing just now?”

“What, what? You didn’t know? The volcano is erupting right now! That’s the thing that sends monsters into the volcano during the cannon defense battle! And we’re moving in ‘that direction’ right now!”

The chili shrimp cried out in confusion.

Only then did Vivi start to hesitate when fighting the named monster.

“Huh? Wait a minute! Noble Sky? Anton? You’re going to go and beat him up? But since you’re slow, it’ll still take quite some time-”

“No! I’m not ramming you. This is crazy!”

There was a scene that flashed through Jinseong’s mind.

“It’s what happens when Anton Judge fails! I told you when we came in the gunship!”

It was also a very vivid animation.

At Jinseong’s shout, both Chili Shrimp and Vivi reacted simultaneously as if something had occurred to them.

“Breath!”

When the Anton Raid content is actively operated, there is a cutscene displayed on the monitor when the first stage, ‘Stop’, of the raid structure divided into two stages, ‘Stop’ and ‘Subjugation’, fails.

It was clearly evident in the animation that appeared on the small screen.

Anton’s breath, the flames burning all the seas and ships around him.

“Hahahaha, I see. If that’s what everyone is afraid of, not just you…”

“Go ahead, Mateka.”

“Hey, wait a minute! Mateca-.”

──────, ──────!

The omnipotent Mateca has disappeared.

Agnes of the Brilliant Flame also disappeared.

All that’s left are a few named monsters and some general ‘trash mobs’ that won’t affect the overall situation even if you kill them.

What if the place where Mateka disappeared was the dungeon where he originally appeared in the raid, ‘Black Volcano’?

“Huh? Mr. Jinsang? What do we do now?”

“I can’t chase after them. The volcano is erupting right now….”

Bibi and Chili Shrimp said.

Jinseong swallowed dry saliva.

We need to go back to the Noble Sky.

You have to shoot a cooling beam there to instantly freeze the black volcano.

And then come back and face Mateca inside the black volcano?

‘Time-wise, that’s not possible – no, no, it’s a waste to even think about that now.’

Is that possible?

That should be enough work besides having to go back and forth on a gunship.

‘then…….’

What other possibilities could there be? A possibility flashed through Jinseong’s mind, but there was only one thing he could be sure of right away.

Jinseong shouted that the situation was so urgent that there was no time to hesitate.

“Let’s go back first! To the gunship, quickly! We don’t know how long it will take to get there and back-.”

“That’s because I sent you Mr. Ho! Just in case, uh, anyway, let’s go! Director Gal, Manager Ka, and everyone else, please go back first!”

“Hahahaha, I’ll stay here a bit longer-.”

Shhh-!

With a whipping sound, all the summoned creatures disappeared.

Jinseong knew that the skill ‘s effect was absolutely not true.

“Come quickly, everyone!”

Vivi, who had already run far away, waved at Chili Shrimp and Jinseong.

Jinseong stopped for a moment and watched the chili shrimp running on short legs due to their physical characteristics.
