Owner of Twilight Intuition – Chapter 77

[Bamut Pope uses a protective shield made with the power of God.]

[The source of his power is the Apostle’s power bestowed directly by Bamut.]

[Unless you catch the Apostle, the medium of power, the shield will not disappear.]

“Kukkuk, do you think the likes of you can even touch a hair on my body?”

“Crazy, kill that monster first!”

“Uooowong!”

The guild members who were attacking the Pope immediately changed their target and rushed towards the Apostle. In response, the Apostle roared loudly and swung its four arms holding weapons. Just a simple swing, and the guild members caught in it couldn’t even resist properly and turned gray.

“God Bamut! Bestow your power upon this place!”

[The power of Bamut begins to dominate your body.]

[You resist weakly due to the related stat ‘Fighting Spirit’.]

[Every 10 minutes, all stats decrease by 9%.]

‘What’s this again?’

All stats decrease by 9%.

Here, I could see that Fighting Spirit also resists the divine power, but it wasn’t particularly important. Since this message is appearing even for me, who’s a bit further away, wouldn’t it mean that there’s no guild member who hasn’t been affected?

“Uh? Uh? What is this?”

“Stat decrease?!”

‘As expected.’

As expected, it seems like the stats of all guild members have decreased. However, not a single person stops attacking. Because it will be over if they just catch the Apostle. Since only the Pope will remain after that, the guild members started pouring all sorts of attacks towards the Apostle.

Kwa-bang!- Kwa-kwa-bang!!━

“Rudin-nim. I’ll go help too.”

“Ah, yes.”

‘We’ll win even if you don’t help……’

It’s an attack that hundreds of people are focusing on, even if it looks like that. Even if each person deals 10 damage, it’s a situation where thousands of damage are being dealt. So there’s no way we can’t win.

“Uooooooh!”

Pa-jik! Pa-jik!━

While I was thinking that, an unusual light emerged from the Apostle’s mouth. That light, which looked dangerous to anyone, swept through the guild members like a laser beam without giving them any time to react.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-bang!!━

“Kuaaaak!”

“Aaaak!”

Wow~ How many people died just now?

Roughly 70~80 guild members turned gray due to the straight line of light that swept across the floor. It’s hard to even guess how much damage it dealt. Anyway, since no guild members could withstand any attack the Apostle made, we had no choice but to continue this war of attrition.

Kwa-aang!━

“Oh, it’s falling!”

And when the number of guild members remaining was around 500, the Apostle’s massive body collapsed.

Koo-ung━

[The divine power connected to Bamut Pope has been severed.]

[Bamut Pope’s protective shield is temporarily deactivated.]

‘Temporarily?’

Wasn’t it completely defeated? Why is the word ‘temporarily’ attached?

“Awesome! Shield! The shield is gone!”

“Go and bring the Vice Guild Master too!”

“Pope b*stard, I’ll kill you!”

Anyway, the guild members’ attacks continue towards the Pope. As if trying to release all the resentment they’ve accumulated so far, the guild members attack the Pope like crazy. The Pope also showed resistance by using minor magic, but it felt futile.

Upon checking, the Pope didn’t even have the same magic ability as Turu.

However, he seemed to have an enormous amount of HP, as he didn’t fall even under the attacks of hundreds of people.

Kwa-ang!- Kwa-bang!━

“Kugh! Stop the attack! Do you know who I am?!”

“What nonsense is that b*stard talking about?!”

“I don’t know, just hurry up and catch him!”

“He’s really damn hard to kill!”

Amidst the guild members’ complaints, I caught a glimpse of Aizen. Among the players diligently swinging their swords at the front, Aizen was also mixed in, and seeing that, it seemed like he had survived until now.

“Vice Guild Master! Now’s the time! Attack the Pope!”

‘Ah, I should attack too.’

In addition, the Pope is a raid boss monster. Contribution points are accumulated based on the damage dealt, so it’s definitely right to attack. Of course, seeing Aizen, who had been waiting for this moment, join the attack, it seemed like getting first place would be difficult, but second place…… no, third place would be possible.

“Giant’s Sprint!”

Kwa-a-a-ang!!━

[Skill Damage! 1,378.]

‘His defense isn’t that high.’

I collided with the Pope using Giant’s Sprint while running, and I realized that his defense wasn’t as high as I thought. Thanks to that, I continued to use Giant’s Sprint with the expectation that I could kill him right away, and as soon as the message that I was running out of MP appeared, I changed my attack method and swung my shield.

Kwang!- Kwa-ang!━

[Skill Damage! 476.]

‘By the way, just how much HP does he have?’

Giant’s Sprint and Shield Bash. The damage I’ve dealt so far was close to 10,000, but this Pope b*stard didn’t even think about dying.

And it seemed like I wasn’t the only one feeling that.

“What the hell is with this guy’s HP?!”

“Hurry up and kill him! It’ll be a headache if the shield reappears!”

If you think about it, the Pope is a raid boss monster. Wouldn’t he have at least 100,000 HP? Anyway, as the guild members gradually became exhausted by the Pope’s daunting HP, Aizen started to move in earnest.

“Extinction Sword.”

Pa-bat!━

Extinction Sword, an S-rank skill.

“Oh, it’s Extinction Sword!”

“Guild Master! Finish him off!”

I didn’t know the damage of that Extinction Sword, but it was sure to deal at least a few thousand. Thinking that way, I could understand the guild members’ expectant expressions, but somehow, I didn’t think he would die.

Chwa-ak!━

“Kuhuk! Go, God Bamut!”

The swinging Extinction Sword and the kneeling Pope. Nevertheless, the Pope did not die. Instead, a message window appeared in the sight of everyone, including myself.

[Bamut Pope uses a protective shield made with the power of God.]

‘Damn it!’

I didn’t expect it, but the shield reappeared!

The shield created by the Pope pushed everyone back, including me, who had approached. According to the message window, this shield cannot be forcibly broken. While I was thinking that we needed to find another way, the fallen Bamut Apostle was slowly getting up.

[Bamut Apostle is getting up again.]

“Wh, what?!”

“Damn it! We have to catch it again!”

“Uooowoooong!”

The Bamut Apostle moves with a fierce roar. It was quite a serious situation, but not a single person backed down. Considering the damage they had dealt to the Pope so far, it was too frustrating to give up like this.

“Catch it! If we catch it just this once, it’s over!”

“Everyone, do your best! This is the last time!”

“We caught it once, can’t we catch it twice?!”

“……”

How do they know the Pope’s HP and say such things?

It was puzzling, but it was effective. Everyone started attacking the Apostle with renewed vigor.

‘Let’s fill up my stamina first.’

It wouldn’t look good for me to be the only one backing down in this situation, but I had no stamina left. It would be strange if I had any stamina left after using Giant’s Sprint consecutively.

After this, considering the Pope, resting now was the right answer.

‘I wish I had a potion to replenish stamina.’

Anyway, I filled up my MP first and waited until my stamina was fully recovered. As soon as my stamina was full, I went behind the Apostle, who was vigorously swinging his hammer, and cast my skills.

“Jayer’s Guardian Shield, Giant’s Sprint!”

Pa-bat!━

[S-rank Skill. Jayer’s Guardian Shield is activated.]

Kwa-a-a-ang!!━

[Skill Damage! 1,575.]

‘……1,500? How much defense does that mean?’

The Giant’s Sprint damage, which dealt nearly 3,000 to the priests, dealt around 1,500 to the Apostle. Roughly calculating, I judged that his defense was probably around 2,000, and I swung my shield just in case.

Kwa-ang!━

[Skill Damage! 254.]

‘It does deal damage.’

Above all, Shield Bash has good stamina efficiency. Since it’s F-rank, it consumes 0.5% each time.

‘I can’t ignore F-rank skills.’

Especially now, since I’m not the only one attacking the Apostle, F-rank might be even better. Since hundreds of guild members are constantly attacking, the Apostle will definitely fall even if I don’t put in extra effort.

“Ugh!”

“Don’t get too close and dodge! If you get hit even once, you’re dead!”

‘The problem is that there are too few melee classes.’

Due to the priests’ self-destruction earlier and the Apostle rampaging here, the number of melee class guild members has decreased considerably, but it was difficult to back down, considering the archers and magicians attacking from afar.

“Uooooooh!”

“Laser! Everyone dodge!”

Fortunately, everyone had fought the Apostle once before, so they knew how it would attack. Thanks to that, there were far fewer casualties than before, but the situation wasn’t always good.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-bang!!━

“Damn it, I’m out of stamina!”

“Go back and rest! But how many people are missing?”

Defeat the Apostle, attack the Pope, and fight the Apostle again. There’s no way my MP and stamina could hold up. Perhaps because of that, almost half of the members retreated to replenish their stamina, and the remaining members were desperately holding the Apostle back.

“Extinction Sword!”

‘Huh? Extinction Sword?’

As soon as the Apostle’s laser attack ended, Aizen ran while casting his S-rank skill, Extinction Sword.

‘Is he aiming for the stat decrease?’

Aizen’s Extinction Sword lowers the opponent’s stats. The situation isn’t good right now, so wouldn’t it be his intention to gain an advantage that way?

Chwa-ak!━

“Uwaaaaah!”

Anyway, the golden light that Aizen swung pierced through the Apostle’s body, and the Apostle, hit by the Extinction Sword, writhed in agony.

At the same time, I could see that the Apostle’s movements had slowed down.

‘Looking at it like this, the Extinction Sword isn’t bad.’

That is, if a large number of people are mobilized like now. It’s not a good skill to use alone, but like now, if a lot of people are holding it down, it seems like a usable skill as a debuff.

[All stats decrease by 9%.]

‘Oh, crazy.’

Has it already been 10 minutes?

With this, all stats have decreased by 18%. Since the Bamut Apostle’s stats decreased due to the Extinction Sword, and my stats and the Emperor Guild members’ stats also decreased, it’s a situation where no one can be said to have the upper hand.

“Uwaaaah!”

“Vice Guild Master! Dodge!”

‘Huh?’

While I was briefly looking at the message window, the Bamut Apostle, whose gaze was fixed on me, immediately swung its hammer. A large hammer befitting its huge size. As soon as I saw the hammer, I instinctively raised my shield.

Kwaaang!!━

[You have taken damage! -2,891.]

“Ugh!”

Damage that no one else could withstand appears. The reason why I tried so hard to avoid the Bamut Apostle’s attack was revealed.

On the contrary, everyone was surprised to see me withstand the Bamut Apostle’s attack.

“Did you just block the Bamut Apostle’s attack?”

“Just how high is your defense?”

“F*ck, stop talking and heal the Vice Guild Master!”

“Y-Yes!”

[Player ‘ Dongdongju ‘ casts Healing Light.]

[Health is being restored……]

[Play……]

My depleted health recovers in an instant. Was it because dozens of people healed me? Having recovered all my health in just 2-3 seconds, I calmly dodged the Apostle’s swinging attack again.

Kwaaang!!━

“Vice Guild Master! Please hold its attention!”

Is that thing crazy?

But with Jayer’s Guardian Shield, I can withstand at least 3-4 hits. If the healing slows down, I can just escape with Phantom Shift. Having calculated that far, I didn’t back down and watched the Apostle’s movements.

‘Just hold its attention……’

Then should I try the new skill I learned?

Thinking of it, I used the skill I learned a few days ago.

“Provoking Shout!”

Kwak!━

A red aura scatters and reaches the Apostle. But did it work? Since Provoke is still at level 1, I couldn’t be sure if it worked on the Apostle.

“Uwong.”

‘Huh?’

“Aack! The Apostle turned its head this way!”

“Everyone, dodge back!”

“……”

It didn’t work. That means the Apostle’s intelligence is higher than mine. That I have lower intelligence than that damn cow head. Anyway, because I kept dodging, the Apostle’s attention turned to the guild members behind, and the guild members started to attack again while retreating.

“Extinction Sword!”

‘Extinction Sword again?’

What’s the cooldown time? 30 seconds?

Whether those 30 seconds had passed, Aizen cast Extinction Sword again and cut the Apostle’s body.

Chaak!━

“Uwaaaaah!!”

‘Huh?’

Kooong!━

[The divine power connected to the Bamut Pope has been severed.]

[The Bamut Pope’s protective shield is temporarily deactivated.]

[The divine power connected to the Bamut Pope has been severed.]

[The Bamut Pope’s protective shield is temporarily deactivated.]

“Woah, Woahhhh!!”

“It’s down!”

“We finally brought it down!”

Unexpectedly, the Apostle fell faster than the first battle. Was it because of the Extinction Sword that Aizen used? Or maybe its health was somewhat reduced as a penalty for the second round, but no one was paying attention to that right now.

“Now’s the chance! Kill it now!”

“We have to kill it this time!”

The remaining Emperor Guild members numbered a little over 300. All of them attacked the Pope whose protective shield was down. Perhaps except for Aizen, who was in a state of exhaustion, everyone was rushing towards him, and I also immediately ran towards the Pope.

“Giant’s Sprint!”
