Chapter 374: The Land That Summons Monsters (3)

I could see clearly that the other two teams were exchanging eye contact through the transparent barrier that divided the arena into three. Of course, I could understand why they did that. Obviously, it was a two-on-one fight, not a one-on-one fight, just like when I competed in the ‘Strongest Player Selection’ event last time.

And that was definitely the only way for them to increase the odds of winning even by 0.000001%. Did they really have a 0.000001% chance of beating me?

Even that number was pretty high.

Anyway, I just waited through the three minutes of preparation time before the battle started because there was no point in telling them to play fairly instead of ganging up.

As soon as the transparent barrier disappeared, I immediately used one skill without moving.

Even without charging at them, I could encircle the whole arena with my skills right away.

“Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!”

Pasasasasak!

A terrain of ice enveloped the entire arena in an instant. At that moment, my enemies also began to move busily and respond to my attacks very systematically as if they wanted to show that they didn’t advance to the finals without fighting hard.

“All my damage turns to zero! Damage immunity!”

“Link: Damage!”

“Powerful Amplication. Link: Damage.”

“Your sacrifice, bearing the burden of all, will shine noble. Noble Sacrifice!”

Damage immunity.

Of course, I one met someone who showed invincible power in the past.

I confronted him right in the level 500 only arena quest.

Of course, this guy wasn’t perfectly invincible.

As soon as he used damage immunity, he was immune to damage, but he couldn’t move his body effectively. And it only lasted 10 or 15 minutes.

Regardless of whether it was an ordinary skill, limited skill or trait, he had to wait until the cooldown was over to use it again, so the moment his damage immunity timed out, he collapsed at my attack.

Perhaps that was why the guy who actually used damage immunity was standing motionless, like a stuffed animal. However, starting with the person who used the damage immunity, something like a golden string came out and started to wrap around all the 60 people of the other two teams. Then, the golden string arrived back at the person who used damage immunity and started to bind him tightly.

Puck! Puck! Puck!

After that, the remaining 59 people of the two teams ignored me and charged at the 29 members of my team including my family behind me, as if they didn’t care about my Ice Field covered with Multiple Thin Ice.

“Oh, I see!”

Now I could see why they acted like that because the skill they used and its effect pointed to only one thing. In other words, all the damage would be borne by that guy who used damage immunity first.

Anyway, I could not sit idle, so I launched a frontal attack against all the other guys other than the man who used damage immunity.

“Ice Wave.”

[...]

The enemy healers and enchanters, who had the lowest defence and health, did not even care about my attack. Of course, they even ignored the attacks of the 29 players behind me.

“Burn! Hellfire that burns even the soul.”

“Giant Strike!”

“Pouring Storm!”

“Fire Spirit’s Rage!”

Puck! Puck! Bang! Bang!

Of course, the 29 people including my family behind me counter attacked the 59 people who rushed towards them. But they didn’t inflict any damage to the 59 people, nor did they block their advance.

Now it was time for the enemies to launch a counterattack.

“Sandstorm.”

“Piercing Power Shot!”

“Triple shot!”

:

“Breath of Destruction.”

“Wind Spirit’s Cutting Wind!” action

Faced with such attacks, all the tanks blocked them from the front, and the healers, including my mother, quickly used the heal-type skills to replenish the tank’s health. But this was obviously nothing more than pouring water in a sieve. The enemies outnumbered us by twofold, and all of them were basically invincible.

In the end, the tanks of my team began to collapse one by one, and when they collapsed, the dealers, healers, and enchanters behind them also fell in an instant.

No matter how hard they fought, it was impossible for them to turn the tide of this battle unless they could succeed in unravelling the invincible gold strings wrapped around the enemies.

How about me?

Of course, I stayed put because I knew that all the 60 members of the enemy teams were invincible because of the amplified damage link and their sublime sacrifices directed toward only one person. In fact, even when I fought the guy before with damage immunity, I could defeat him only after his damage immunity timed out.

***

Inside the arena where the final match is held.

“Hehehe!”

Barsha al-Sad, the leader of Saudi Arabia’s Kaibar Guild, had no choice but to smile broadly while watching the final match because everything was going as planned when his team succeeded in nullifying Asirante.

That’s why he pressed them to attack hearder because damage immunity would not last forever, not to mention damage link and noble sacrifice that had their own retention time.

In the meantime, Barsha al-Sad looked at Asirante sneakily.

[...]

He was standing in the arena blankly as if he had given up.

Watching him, Barsha smiled in satisfaction because he was convinced that his team was close to winning.

Of course, after defeating Asirante, his team would have to compete with the other team currently working with him. But he was pretty satisfied with the current situation because it meant overcoming a big obstacle once they defeated Asirante.

And when the enemy tank formation collapsed, he shouted loudly, “Everyone, cheer up! We’re almost there!”

“Sure!”

“No problem!”

Not only Barsha, but also all the others knew that they were winning against the team to which Asirante belonged, so their morale was at the highest ever.

***

“…”

When the tanks collapsed, it was only a matter of time before the dealers, healers and enchanters behind them fell.

Among them were my family members including my father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, and my sister. But I just stared at them without taking any action even now.

This event ‘Strongest Guild Selection’ was an all-out war in which one team had to be completely annihilated to be eliminated. That meant that even if I survived alone after all my team members died, I, or more precisely, we could still win. Moreover, there was no penalty for dying in the arena.

So I left a message on the party window.

[Lumen: You can wait for me outside in a relaxed way as I’ll bring home the trophy.]

[Super Beauty: Are you sure? They are pretty tough.]

[Two sons and one daughter: Son...]

As my sister said, the enemies comprising the two teams were very strong.

By sacrificing one of them, all the remaining 59 members turned invincible.

As a result, they could not be stronger.

As with everything, however, they also had a retention time.

And there was also a cooldown before they could reuse their skill when their retention time expired.

In other words, all I had to do was wait until I found the right time to attack them.

Moreover, I was more confident in waiting for it than last time.

So I opened my mouth with a confident voice.

[Lumen: Just prepare a noisy party to celebrate our victory.]
