Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’

72 – Leave this to me and go back! I was tempted, but I was taken to the boss room]

[LOL Newbie massacre operation]

[You foolish middle school student…. Are you blinded by water bathing?]

[I’m sucked during the cooldown of my method hahahaha]

[Producer’s parents seem odd]

[It’s a bit annoying gimmick]

If you ask Legend Route users which dungeon has the most annoying gimmick, there will be many answers.

Some users play ‘Trace of the Milky Way’, which requires excellent physical skills, some users play ‘Valley of the Giants’, where monsters of a level that does not match the recommended level are infested, and some users are forced to work hard to capture. ‘Wheatfields of Eden’.

If you ask a question to a deceased person in the community who farts a little, the variety of answers will increase, but if you ask a newbie who hasn’t cleared the first round, six out of ten will choose ‘Volcano Zone’.

The reason is simple. This is because, unlike other dungeons, the traps in this volcanic area are full of blatant malice from the management team.

[Ha ha ha ha ha What is this? I ate an item from the reward box, but I was forcibly sent back to the dungeon entrance]

[That’s a nobleman. I ate the dropped holy water, but it’s cursed. You need to pay 50 silver at the church and do it]

[Only boss room farming items can be trusted in the Hidden Area of the Volcanic Zone. Don’t be fooled]

[Let us know in advance]

[That’s why newbies don’t care]

If you farm blind items incorrectly, you will fall into a trap. The type of trap is different depending on the item. If you pick up the equipment, it will fall to a random point with a lot of monsters, and if you pick up the holy water, you will be cursed. If you farm ‘Glacier Crystal’, a must-have item in the volcanic area, you will be immediately forcibly moved to the boss room.

Many preparations are required to hunt the dungeon boss. From turning the skill cooldown to doping in advance by self-law, you have to go through the prepared procedures to make sure you are in perfect condition. However, suddenly going to the boss room without such preparation is practically the same as suicide.

In fact, even in-game, if you fall into the boss room without preparation, even a dead person will struggle. Legend route is never a game with a sweet boss difficulty. Of course, there are bosses that can be defeated like eating cake if you know how to attack them, but there are definitely bosses that are not. In particular, monster-type bosses are often like that.

The boss monster that guards the Hidden Area of the Volcanic Zone, the ‘Giant Magma Golem’ is one of those types.

“Yo, Yohan… ! Here is… ?”

Ellie, pale-faced, looks around and checks her surroundings. She looks even more flustered than when she broke her water bottle. Perhaps thanks to the flashy trap effect, she seems to have realized right away that she had touched something wrong with her.

The heat on his cheeks was much warmer than before. Of course. Because this is where all the heat in this dungeon comes from.

This was a huge room. The ceiling is so high that it feels open even though it is indoors. There are several pillars that touch the ceiling so high all over the room.

If you look up and look ahead, you will see a magnificent foundation made of black basalt. The square-cut foundation was a simple shape that could be easily found in many historical sites, except for its color. Magma that boasts a soft light flows like a heated filament from the slightly elevated foundation.

Even if you take ‘Glacier Crystal’, you will receive a 5% debuff on all abilities in this boss room. The fact that Ellie wipes sweat from her forehead also means that the heat of the dungeon has penetrated her body, which is protected by glacial crystals.

[The mighty heat emanating from the source of the lava lowers physical abilities.]

[The effect of the ‘Bracelet of Frost’ is activated. You are immune to all status ailments related to ‘heat stroke’.]

However, the rotten water couldn’t have prevented me from preparing for this situation.

The bracelet of cold air purchased for a large sum of money in the Shadow Street definitely showed its effect. In fact, if you have this, you don’t need a ‘glacier crystal’.

“John-kun…. Look at that! That… ?”

GOO GOO GOO GOO!!!!!

Ellie pointed her finger at the foundation in front. At about the same time, a huge tremor that gently shakes the earth’s axis is transmitted to us through the ground. The feeling of being in a club with several large speakers turned on.

The sound that thumped not only the eardrums but also the body was enough to give us a sense of intimidation. In fact, if you enter this dungeon in a low-level state, you will be ‘intimidated’.

“Eugh… !”

And Ellie seems wonderfully intimidated.

“That…. It’s not a foundation! No way, that’s the boss!?”

It was made of basalt that looked like a foundation, but it wasn’t a foundation like Ellie said. It was part of a huge monster.

GOO GOO GOO GOO!!!!!

And that monster lifted its heavy buttocks to greet the uninvited visitor to the boss room. An existence that makes the earth shake like an earthquake just by raising its body.

-Identify intruders

Beep-!

The magma-flowing Foundation was its head. A giant pouring out red magma from the top of his head looks at us with eyes as red as magma in his eyes.

-Step 1 Elimination Process Operation

If the size of the body is not good, it is more than 5m.

The guardian of the dungeon, bathed in magma flowing from our heads, sentenced us to death.

-Initiation of destruction

“Yo, John! That one, come our way!!!”

The golem lifted its heavy leg. It was Ellie who had been subjected to ‘intimidation’ due to abnormal status. As the giant in front of her moved toward her, she couldn’t control herself.

Even with the whole group, you have to face an enemy that doesn’t look easy and you are not prepared. A truly hopeless situation.

The only thing Ellie can see right now is the future that ends with her death.

However, I see something a little different.

It was predicted that Ellie would step on her trap. No, actually, I was the one who deliberately led her to the place where her trap was. She didn’t know that the glacier’s crystal was a trap, so it was obvious what she was supposed to do.

As many Legend Route newbies have been, hitting the trap and falling into the boss room was an easy prediction for me, a rotten water.

The reason I created this crisis is one.

Of course, it was to dramatically increase Ellie’s liking. In order to copy her characteristics with [Transcendence Copy].

‘In the original story, Ellie was a very difficult character to raise likes.’

It takes a lot of work to go from the original story to the kissing event with Ellie. After raising the crafting skill level, feeding a lot of bread or sweets and somehow breaking through to 60 favorability, doing the Ellie main quest is the standard, but going to 60 favorability is literally hard work.

From noble mtl dot com

The place where I am now is a world in which the original game and the reality that did not come out of the original overlap strangely. Obviously, the knowledge of the original work I have works, but on the other hand, it is a world where a different scenario from the original work unfolds.

You don’t have to go far, the existence of ‘John Baker’ itself does not appear in the original work, and the fact that the middle boss ‘Sierra Grimkeeper’ of the original work enters the academy is not staged by any route.

The lessons I learned from various experiences are as follows. Actively using the knowledge of the original work, but not being bound by it.

In other words, you don’t have to stick to the boring and repetitive methods you did in the original work to increase Ellie’s favorability.

Then, is there any way to drastically increase her favorability, other than labor through crafting skills?

I was able to find the answer in the case that raised Arsha’s favorability rating.

If I had to give an embarrassing name to my strategy this time, would it be about the operation ‘Leave it to me and go back!’?

“Miss Ellie! Miss Ellie!”

The panicked Ellie shook her shoulder vigorously. Ellie, whose eyes are filled with fear, struggles to open her mouth.

“Yo, John. What to do!? What the hell am i doing… ?”

“Now is not the time to worry about that! Just be careful!”

I supported Ellie’s body and went behind her pillar. It’s time to launch an attack.

GOO GOO GOO GOO GOO!!!!

Scorching flames are flying towards us. It was only for a moment, but it was enough to break through the cold bracelet’s protective ability and feel the heat.

The flames reach the pillars we took refuge in. Then, the flames are split in two by the pillars. We evacuated by sticking close to the pillars and did not receive any damage.

Giant Magma Golem’s attack is strong but slow. And throughout this dungeon, there are gimmicks that can avoid such attacks.

As long as you have enough control, the boss monster that can be soloed at a surprisingly low level was the Giant Magma Golem.

“Miss Ellie! Listen carefully!”

“Yes, yes. De, I’m listening….”

“Hey, see the door behind the golem? According to the ancient documents, that is the entrance to the boss room.”

The place with our backs is the exit, and the place behind the golem is the entrance.

“They said that the exit to the dungeon can only be opened by defeating the boss. However, that entrance will just open. So, run over there. The priority is to get out of here and join the other party.”

“That’s right! Then, Yohan-kun, first…”

“No. That golem won’t be watching us get away. Someone has to draw attention.”

“What!? You mean you need bait!?”

“The tone is not good. Anyway, I’ll get his attention. Miss Ellie escapes and joins the group. Probably, by now, most of the other party would have arrived.”

“No! I’ll be the bait! In the first place, this is because of me! So, Yohan-kun wants to escape…”

“Careful!”

I grabbed Ellie’s hand and pulled it.

Goo Goo Goo!

The golem’s fist breaks the massive pillar. A pattern that collapses a pillar with a fist after releasing flame.

This is the Giant Magma Golem’s attack pattern. There are a total of 8 pillars in the boss room, and if you don’t defeat them before then, it’s practically game over.

“There is no time for hesitation! Miss Ellie! Back please! I only trust Miss Ellie!”

I pushed Ellie’s back toward the entrance and ran to the other side. The golem’s red eyes alternately look at me and Ellie. Giant Magma Golem’s aggro is aimed at characters with high average abilities. Therefore….

-Destroy

The guy’s gaze was fixed on me.

“John! Please wait a minute! Certainly! I will definitely come back!”

“Of course! Don’t worry about me! When the exploration is over, we must go to the cafe we all decided to go to!”

“Wow! I know I’m not in a situation to say this, but please don’t flag me for death!”

Ellie, now in tears, runs frantically toward the entrance to the boss room.

Okay, so far as planned.
