Chapter 235: Mythical Being (2)

If I were to think about it in terms of probability, the probability of getting a mythic-grade was remarkably low. The odds were three in five hundred.

Of course, I could say that the probability of getting a legendary-grade monster was not very high, too. It would be ideal to get a heroic-grade named monster, but even if a legendary-grade monster came out, we would be able to handle it.

‘It will depend on which type comes out, but…’

The expedition’s specs were enough to handle even legendary-grade named monsters.

Among the legendary ranks, it would be different only if monsters about to be promoted came out, but I knew that most of them could be dealt with.

The wheel gradually began to slow down, to the point where we could read the divisions imprinted on the wheel. Every time it went past the mythic-grade division, which was colored white, there was a collective sigh of relief.

The same went for the legendary-grade, which was distinguished by gold.

“S-Spin a little more!” Deokgu shouted, and I could feel the members of the Black Swan sending their silent support.

Eventually, it landed on a gold division.

“Ah…”

There were sounds of regretful murmurs shifting among us.

It was okay, though. We could still handle this.

What was important was it was not mythic. With that fact alone, I could feel relieved.

[The spinning wheel has stopped.]

[Legendary-grade named monster Skeleton Knight Baan has been selected.]

-Ah, Skeleton Knight Baan. I remember it being a creature on this continent that had the soul of a hero.

Though Max gave a brief explanation, I didn’t care to listen.

All of his information had appeared in my eyes, anyway. The only important thing about it was whether or not it could be defeated.

‘It’s a melee type that can use unique spells.’

Its unique spells were Energy Drain and Summon Skeleton.

Although the latter was roughly predictable, it was not known what form the other would be activated in, so when I looked at the sub-list again, I could see a little more information.

‘It would appear as a magic circle on the floor.’

I didn’t know what Baan looked like when it was human, but now it was quite large, definitely taller than the average human height.

It seemed to be over 2 meters long and looked more like a mercenary than a knight.

This was a legendary beginner or intermediate at best. We could definitely win.

Of course, the exterior aura itself was definitely legendary. It would not break with a simple hit.

Not only was there green light shining through the gap between the eyes and the bones, but the weapon he was holding was also emitting rather ominous energy.

If I met it alone, I would have run away with all the energy I could muster.

But now, I was not alone. Our attack method seemed to be fairly clear…

‘So, we just need to avoid the Energy Drain?’

First, the key was to avoid the magic circle that would form on the floor.

The front line would then take care of the annoying trash mobs.

I gestured for Jung Hayan to listen to what I had to say, and she nodded and stepped closer.

“Hayan.”

“Yes, Oppa.”

“Prepare the floating magic for everyone.”

“Ah, of course! I’m on it.”

“I’ll signal when it’s time. Focus on triple-casting. Floating magic should always be in the last place. Always be ready to chant it when you get the signal.”

“Yes. And the m-magic… By reducing the magic power a little, up to f-four are possible.”

“Then, please do that.”

It was not a lie when the museum manager said she was a human being blessed with mana.

In fact, the quadruple casting was not possible to do simply by having magic power and affinity. It depended on talent, and how blessed one was with mana.

‘She’s a genius.’

Of course, there was a disadvantage about draining magic power upon the simultaneous casting of spells, but it wouldn’t be bad to give it a try since Hayan already had a feel of the spells’ patterns to some extent.

Some time had passed already.

The manager, Max, was still explaining about the creature, but the Skeleton Knight seemed ready to fight.

At this, Max nodded.

-I’ve talked too much. I guess I made you wait for the fight between you and Baan. Then! Good luck, museum explorers.

“Prepare for battle.”

At Hyunsung’s words, everyone started to prepare in their own way. The Skeleton Knight slowly began to lift his sword.

Shiing!

Could the monster cover a long-distance attack? If he did, it would use up large amounts of magic. The possibility did not surprise me at all.

Obviously, the manual for that kind of attack was already stored in my mind a long time ago.

Divine power poured into the front-liners as they blocked the rear. Wizards began to chant spells, and all front liners except Kim Hyunsung and Park Yeon-joo waited.

“Good.”

Everyone understood the pattern, even without verbal instruction.

‘That’s why they prefer experienced people.’

Each person understood how to move around due to both practice and experience.

“Grrrrr… Grrrrr…”

The moment the monster raised its hand, skeleton soldiers started to rise from the floor. I spoke immediately.

“Deokgu, Hyunsung-ssi, and Yeon-joo are the main front-liners. The rest should make a wall with your bodies and clear the soldiers first. Please corner the named monster separately to the right. Until the next soldiers come out, the long-distance ones should focus your firepower on the named monster, and when the soldiers come out again, clear the soldiers first. When the pattern changes, I will send a signal. Defensive wizards should always keep only the shield magic that responds to the same ranged attack.”

“Okay!”

No one answered except Park Deokgu. However, I knew they all understood.

At this, Kim Hyunsung, Park Yeon-joo, and Park Deokgu began to run and approach the Knight. They would naturally attract its attention.

Since the monster was not a fool, it would want to clear the backline first, but, naturally, there was no way to do anything because the front line had chosen to attack him head-on.

For now, he had no choice but to rely on his summoned soldiers.

‘I’m sure you’re hoping the trash mobs will solve it…’

The first spell of Jung Hayan popped out in no time.

“… …!”

‘It’s freaking fast!’

Her magic burst with an unidentified sound. Large spheres of flame began to fall, incomparable to the ones I had conjured before, all at the same time.

Baaaaaaaaang!

Several skeletons that had been summoned were smashed.

At this point, I thought that the skeletons would collapse soon, but it turned out that they weren’t that weak. Translucent defense magic spread among the enemies.

‘Is there a skeleton wizard? No, were they summoned by class?’

I was able to realize once again that a legendary-grade fight was something we should not take lightly. Skeleton archers pulled out their bows, inciting shield magic to spread in our party.

The mages of both camps began to chant their spells.

As I felt that the battle would drag on, I immediately pulled out the Dragon Breath potion.

Shooooo!

As I threw the potion into the air, its effects activated, melting the enemy’s shield magic. Taking this opportunity, our wizards’ spells landed on their side soon after.

‘Good.’

Meanwhile, the front line was successfully keeping them from reaching us.

The fact that the backline was safe was evidence that the raid was working well.

I knew that just summoning the soldiers already used up Baan’s energy. Moreover, if he summoned each class like this, he would consume more magic power than before.

I began to understand how this monster fought. He extracted magical power that could be used as an Energy Drain, all while still calling skeletons with his Summon Skeleton.

This was a knight magician strong enough to prevent the joint attacks of Kim Hyunsung, Park Deokgu, and Park Yeon-joo.

Since we didn’t know how he actually battled, we were naturally having a hard time. I was also well aware of how a single hit of his Energy Drain would kill a good number of our people.

“The main wizards should focus their magic on Baan. The front line should clear the remaining soldiers, and the third party wizard should continue to maintain the shield magic. When the second summoning begins, the front line will need to rebuild the wall.”

“Okay.”

“The second summoning has begun. The second summon has begun! First, focus on the soldiers. Priests, please focus on Deokgu.”

What surprised me a little more was that Park Deokgu was doing better than expected.

Of course, without the priest, Kim Hyunsung, and Park Yeon-joo, it would have been difficult to withstand, but he was successfully blocking each attack thus far.

‘Excellent, you piggish bastard!’

I knew I had to reward him with all the effort he had shown thus far.

“Once again, focus on damaging Baan. The third summoning has begun. It’s a massive troop. Thirty mages… archers, start shooting the mages.”

“Alright.”

As I spoke, I took Juliana out. It would not be possible to escape this battle unscathed.

What annoyed me a little was…

“It may be difficult for people in the front line, but please do not get hurt as much as possible. Baan seems able to recover his mana. It is only a small amount, but please be careful.”

“Yes.”

It was weak, but the skeletons he summoned also had the ability to drain. The fact that he pulled a large summon at once by the third time also showed that he was in a hurry.

As expected, Baan raised one of his hands.

The moment he began to lower it, I screamed aloud.

“Jung Hayan!”

“Float together!”

After the screamed, the bodies of 30 people began to rise into the air in no time.

It had been fortunate of me to tell her to prepare the spell in advance, I realized. Baan’s magic circle was something that could never be avoided if one stayed on the ground. The whole battle floor had gotten engulfed within the circle.

‘This level of strength is enough to be classified as cheating…’

Even if one’s agility level were high, it would be impossible not to step on this floor. This was the true power of a legendary-grade monster, after all.

The unique skills he had were definitely enough to be classified as above standards.

Nevertheless…

‘My Mind’s Eye can win when it comes to cheating!’

As we floated in the air, Kim Hyunsung rushed forward and landed the finishing blow, effectively bursting Baan’s head.

‘Let’s get the reward, Hyunsung!’
