Chapter 224

Episode 224 The Executioner (1)

―The third elite monster Executioner appears!

Jaehyun looked at the two witches slowly advancing toward the golden apple tree.

Executioner.

As their name suggests, they had a bloody appearance. The black cloth over the head and the protruding belly added to the sense of intimidation of the two beings.

Jaehyun was a bit nervous about the magic he felt from the enemy.

The two Executioners had exactly the same level of magic power and size.

“Are the two attacking at the same time?”

If so, dealing with them would be quite difficult.

The magical energy felt by the enemy is at least S-class or higher. Until now, he had many experiences of fighting strong opponents, but his experience of fighting more than two was not so much.

‘Because, as usual in a battle, a number of variables arise just by increasing the number of opponents by one.’

But there was no time to ponder for long.

“You have to hit it first.”

The two Executioners were not as strong as Nidhogg, but they were strong.

Even with the current reproduction, depending on the compatibility level, it can be quite a struggle.

Moreover, his goal is always to win the defense game.

‘It’s not a quest that can be cleared simply by defeating enemies.’

Defense The essence of the game is defense after all. Defeating the enemy is of course important, but it meant that defending the base is the top priority.

After Jaehyun finished his thoughts, he jumped into the battlefield again.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...!!

The rough voices of the demons surrounding them burst out.

―Active skill 《Wind Boost Lv 5》 is activated.

Hung!

The angle of view narrowed, and I began to feel the texture of the wind coming up through my ears.

In the eyes of Jaehyun, who quickly closed the distance with the enemy, there were only two witches.

Executioner. They lifted their axes high as if they felt Jaehyun’s presence.

Jaehyun did not slow down at all and continued to run towards the beast.

‘Do not waste time and finish as quickly as possible.’

With a small nod of his head, Jaehyun took out his dagger and stabbed it right into the neck of one of the Executioners.

hooked!

The attack hit accurately.

However, what happened?

The only thing that came out of Jaehyun’s mouth was a short curse.

“...shit.”

Jaehyun instinctively realized that his sword had failed to strike the opponent.

He immediately bent his knees and prepared for the enemy’s counterattack.

fault!

Jaehyun quickly kicked the guy and widened the distance behind him.

“...what kind of monster is that again?”

When I measured my magic power, I knew that it was strong, but I didn’t think it was so strong that it was impossible to attack.

In fact, it was overwhelmingly strong compared to other raiders and monsters, but it wasn’t crazy enough for Jaehyun.

But why is my dagger not working?

After thinking for a while, Jaehyun immediately came to a conclusion.

‘The Executioner isn’t strong enough to overwhelm me. There are separate conditions to inflict damage on them.’

Years of radar experience sharpened the sense of representation.

Jaehyun straightened his sword again.

and that moment.

A new quest window appeared before his eyes.

* * *

Less than 10 minutes have passed since the last defense started.

As usual, Idun was watching his performance from the terrace. Hella is also sitting across from Jaehyun and drinking tea, probably worried about Jaehyun.

Hella watched Jaehyun go through the ordeal with a glance, and her heart tightened inwardly.

“It’s downright creepy.”

Jaehyun unknowingly spits the words out of his mouth.

It was to the point where I didn’t know why such a bloody-looking guy appeared while playing a defense game.

However, no matter how gruesome they looked, the fact that Jaehyun had to fight them did not change.

‘Ha, but this is the last one.’

Jaehyun worked hard to rationalize it and unfolded his magic.

―Active skill 《Ice Edge》.

As soon as he raised his hand, condensed cold air burst out and created a pillar.

Ice magic was chosen to block the enemy’s movement and analyze the battle situation.

It was a strategic decision.

Quaang!

The towering pillar of ice accurately attacked the enemy.

However, even with the powerful attack, the two beings were not harmed at all.

Jaehyun was also expecting this.

Quaang!

Rather, the Executioners came to shatter the ice created by Jaehyun with the ax they were holding.

‘......It’s bloody.’

Jaehyun thought so and kept an eye on the enemy who continued to attack.

I tried to take the initiative in the battle, but it wasn’t easy to narrow the distance between the two of them.

It was because if you tried to attack one, the other would attack, so it was difficult to withstand.

At other times, it would have been nice to take a break from the battle and rethink the strategy, but I couldn’t do that now.

What Jaehyun is playing right now is a defense game.

This was because if it was breached even for a moment, it would be practically impossible to protect the tree.

“No matter how you think about it, the situation is not good.”

Jaehyun continued to use magic and kept the Executioners in check who resisted his attacks.

At the same time, he recalled the newly popped up quest window.

[Special Quest]

Judge Executioner

Stop the Executioner, the elite monster of the last wave of Tree Defense, and defend the base.

However, the Executioner is a two-in-one, two-in-one monster. You cannot inflict damage unless certain conditions are met.

difficulty: ???

Reward: Idun’s Gift Upgrading

Failure Conditions

1. Failure to protect the Golden Apple Tree

2. Death by

the Executioner ).

* ‘Idun’s Great Gift’ can be obtained

Jaehyun first grasped the essence of this quest.

‘From the beginning, the quest didn’t tell me to kill the Executioner. Stop them and defend the stronghold. That’s the main thing.’

Also, this was to satisfy the probability of why Jaehyun’s attack from earlier did not work on them.

You cannot inflict damage unless you meet special conditions.

Jaehyun thought as he reflected on this phrase.

‘No matter how great the Executioner’s mana is, it’s far short of a level comparable to mine. Even so, a little while ago I couldn’t damage them.

In the end, it means that system interference is taking place regardless of the gap between them.’

As well as the system said.

There are hidden clear conditions for this quest.

Jaehyun looked at the two Executioners in front of him with a confident expression.

“Two, one, two.”

He smiled as he repeated the meaningful phrase in the quest window.

“I get it now. How to kill the Executioner and what are the conditions for clearing the hidden quest.”

Jaehyun saw it.

A single shadow stretched out from behind the two Executioners.
