The named monster on the 51st flooring was an Ogre. Not like the ogres exterior, this one used a ability when its well being dropped to a sure stage – whether or not it was berserk or frenzy, I wasn’t positive. However it wasn’t a giant deal.

In spite of everything, a large rising from 8m to 9m tall did not change the truth that it was nonetheless a large. Whether or not its punches harm extra or not made little distinction. Our paper-thin social gathering members could be in hassle if hit, whereas I might block its assaults with my protect no matter its state.

It was like a weak monster with an assault energy buff that dies in a single hit anyway – the buff turns into meaningless. This felt precisely just like the 51st flooring, a style of Season 2.

As anticipated, the Ogre was only a fight energy gauge.

“Its attain lengthened because it grew, and its physique heated up,” Grace noticed. “Seeing the way it tore by means of the chain internet, its power will need to have elevated tremendously. To assume an already robust Ogre might get even stronger…”

“Nonetheless, it was simpler to dodge because it misplaced its cause. I used to be only a bit shocked.”

“Throwing clumps of filth wildly appeared fairly harmful,” Irene chimed in.

“I suppose I ought to block these with holy magic, proper? It might be dangerous if it immediately spreads over a large space…”

After dismantling the ballista with practiced arms and sending off the mercenary band to a different a part of the plains, we took a brief break to debate the Ogre. Its heavy mana stone had lengthy since been tucked away in our stock.

The dialogue was extra like ruminating over our personal errors fairly than suggestions on the battle.

Grace mumbled that she should not have fixated on the eyes, regretting not touchdown an efficient hit on the named monster. Katie expressed disappointment in her sword that solely shallowly grazed the pores and skin.

In the meantime, Irene felt sorry for the mercenaries, saying she might have blocked the clumps of filth along with her holy magic.

‘Certainly, is our assault energy missing?’ I questioned.

Excluding Irene, who felt responsible in regards to the mercenaries’ accidents as befitting a Saint candidate, a lot of the regrets had been about inadequate assault energy.

Grace had aimed for the eyes however was blocked by its arms, in the end failing to deal important injury and solely hindering its imaginative and prescient with flash arrows. Katie had slashed its ankle and restricted the Ogre’s motion along with her frost aura, however that was all she managed to do.

I had hoped that the persistent drawback of inadequate assault energy might need been resolved through the coaching occasion the place we briefly separated at the beginning of Season 2, however…

I guessed solely particular person expertise like swordsmanship and archery had improved a bit.

Effectively, I had simply picked up some sword fragment and referred to as it a day, so I supposed there weren’t any grand buffs.

“However when the Ogre used its ability, it turned shiny crimson and began steaming,” Han Se-ah interjected. “I’m wondering if it’d die rapidly if we inflicted tons of bleeding? You realize, if blood strikes tremendous quick, it might burst out of the blood vessels. Ought to I inform Katie to purpose for the blood vessels? I need to kill it a bit quicker.”

-The f*ck is that this b*tch babbling about whereas others are giving suggestions

-You are missing injury too, so cease obsessing over CC expertise and begin dealing some injury lol

Se-ah, is not it due to your stream that even mage memes have been created?

“Memes?” Han Se-ah requested, confused.

“What memes hastily… Oh, you imply these abroad artists drawing quick comics about mages? I noticed somebody add it to the fan cafe.”

Han Se-ah had blurted out a proof whereas promoting mana stones – that once we confronted the named monster Ogre within the plains, it acquired excited, its physique grew monumental, turned red-hot, and even began steaming.

How might mages keep nonetheless after listening to such an fascinating story? With eyes so extensive they appeared like they could come out, a mage rushed ahead, then immediately stopped as he realized he was going through lovely girls who had been additionally the Hero Occasion. He despatched a pleading look my method.

For a Magic Tower shut-in who solely did analysis, these beauties had been an excessive amount of to deal with. If he needed to stay shut and ask questions, I used to be most likely the one man he might method… however I had lengthy since fled from the Magic Tower foyer to the magic software exhibition corridor when Han Se-ah began operating her mouth.

Irrespective of how a lot a tank’s job was to attract aggro, I did not need to take care of that type of aggro.

“Are you on the lookout for one thing?” a feminine Magic Tower worker requested, attempting to sidle as much as me like a cosmetics retailer clerk. “Maybe I might information you…”

“It is superb,” I replied curtly.

After sending her away, I opened a hologram window whereas pretending to have a look at crystal balls and such.

What I opened within the hologram window was Han Se-ah’s fan cafe. As a mega-corporation-level streamer with a median of 100,000 real-time viewers and over one million followers, the size of her fan cafe was monumental.

It appeared there have been fairly a number of overseas members too, most likely as a result of there was a board for analyzing streams and getting ready tower methods. Because of this, it was flooded with info and humor posts from all types of web sites like Korean galleries, abroad Reddit, and Japanese 2ch.

‘…No marvel they are saying they want moderators for every board as a substitute of simply cafe managers.’

Each on the discussion board and the fan cafe, as we speak’s fashionable posts had been in regards to the Ogre. Though they could not attain the 51st flooring, gamers roaming numerous components of the continent had been posting their experiences and movies associated to Ogres.

Simply as there have been customers climbing the tower and customers residing in cities, there have been fairly a number of customers wandering the world. Though the relative proportion was small, it was a globally fashionable recreation, so even a low share meant an enormous variety of folks.

A wandering person who died after encountering an Ogre whereas working as a porter for a mercenary band, a mage person who stalked an Ogre for half a yr to jot down a Monster Ecology thesis for the Magic Tower, a chef person who went bankrupt as a result of the service provider guild they’d a meals provide contract with acquired worn out by an Ogre…

Certainly, Ogres had been like visitors accidents that popped up anyplace and in every single place. Nonetheless, there have been no tales of strange people turning shiny crimson exterior the tower.

“However actually!” Han Se-ah’s voice minimize by means of my ideas. “Roland, the place the hell are you? I am about to get dragged into the Magic Tower at this fee. The air feels stuffy and uncomfortable! Our social gathering members aren’t even attempting to hitch in as a result of it is magic speak! What’s our tank doing, the mage is dying-!”

-It isn’t the mage that is dying, however your stream which may die

-lol If that mage was a feminine mage or when you had been a man, you’d have been dragged away arm-in-arm like a canine by now

-Oh, Se-ah’s teeth-grinding is f*cking hilarious lol. You may die alone even when you die, b*tch

-No method, you bastards. I did not eat dinner as a result of I used to be ready for the dinner mukbang present after finishing the search

-? You imply you watch the stream to eat collectively? What sort of over-immersion is that this, f*ck.

Anyway, I believed they’d go away her alone due to the awkward ambiance, however the mage appears so obsessive about the Ogre story that he retains fidgeting and asking questions even on this awkward ambiance.

I wanted to eat, so I guessed I ought to go rescue her.
