Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 79
Advertisement
That's why this kind of confrontation has been going on for a long time. They are standing in a place where no skills of mine, including my AOE skills, can reach them. Nestled in a safe place, they instantly healed those who were attacked, and also buffed them when needed. It was the perfect sort of party play.
Tramp! Tramp!
Honestly speaking, I regretted setting Stamina as the stat that would experience 100% growth along with my Intellect for the Mutual Growth trait.
So far, I have not benefited from my superior stamina, compared to my willpower, which I chose as the second stat which was experiencing 50% growth.
In the meantime, I was totally defenseless without an Ice Shield amid the enemy's attack.
The enemies seized the opportunity and ruthlessly attacked me.
Naturally I was exposed to their intense attacks.
Puck! Puck! Puck!
But I ignored their attacks and kept stepping forward.
In the past, I didn't really care about my defense, whether it was hunting or fighting, for I didn't have to. But now I clearly showed them why I could ignore their attacks.
So, I used my skills first at the annoying tanks.
"Ice Prison!"
Of course, they were ready for my attack. As soon as the Ice Prison started to emerge, they immediately scattered, so I could only trap two of them. But that was enough.
And I deliberately used the Ice Field behind them instead of at them. Why? Since the Ice Field was located behind them, they couldn't retreat to the back.
So, all they could do was to move to either side or towards me to avoid the Ice Field.
And for those who approached me?
"Pouring Hailstones! Ice Spear! Multiple Ice Arrow!"
Puck! Puck! Puck!
"Kuuuuuuuuhuk!"
"Damn!"
Behind them was the Ice Field which could be detonated with Ice Blast at any time, and I was attacking in front of them. They were literally caught between a rock and a hard place.
Those who hurriedly stepped toward me after leaving the range of my Ice Field collapsed helplessly without any resistance.
Of course, the enemies didn't sit idle.
"Tanks and melee attackers move around the Ice Field and charge at him! Ice Blast is useless if you are careful about the Ice Field. Just attack him! That guy is also desperately struggling to get out of here! Attack him mercilessly!"

"Yeah!"
"Okay!"
The guild leader kept cheering them up and gave them special directions.
In response to his order, they desperately attacked me, but it seemed that they were greatly mistaken. Was I desperately struggling? Nope, I was not desperately struggling but simply ignoring their attacks.
Anyway, although it was only for a brief moment, I seemed to have shown my old habit because my attack didn't work in the face of the enemies' perfect party play. I had the habit of moving too cautiously in the past. In other words, because of my wizard role in not only 'Revival Legend' and 'Forgotten Legend' but also all my other games, I had always hunted cautiously without a choice
By design wizards relied on their powerful attacks, so they had poor defense.
In my case, I always hunted alone. I had forgotten about it until now because I had never gone through a situation in 'Revival Legend' that was dangerous enough for me to protect myself or move cautiously.
But for the first time I felt I was in a situation, which I didn't think was dangerous, but rather frustrating, so I seemed to have acted defensively.
But I now moved openly as if I was declaring that I was ready to accept their attacks without defending.
Then I ran towards the enemies. Of course, the enemy's healers and enchanters also moved hurriedly. Unlike the tanks, they could be killed at any time if something went wrong. Even if they were mages with high stamina and health, they were no exceptions.
So I used my skills immediately.
"Ice Weapon."
[You have used Level 3 Ice Weapon.
-The sturdy and long 3+ Enhancement Sword is imbued with strong and cold ice energy.]
Clang! Clang!
I swung the sturdy and strong 3+ Enhancement Sword toward the tank blocking me in the front.
Did I do it to inflict damage on him? Of course, he would receive damage to some extent because, aside from the level 3 Ice Weapon, my Strength stat exceeded 1000, which was absolutely impossible for a normal wizard.
However, what I really aimed for was something else. It was none other than frostbite.
I knew that the probability of inflicting frostbite when attacking with the Ice Weapon would be greatly increased. In fact, I had the passive skill called Weak Frostbite as well as the Iceman Trait.

However, I didn't use this option until now. I didn't attach any great meaning to it because I had other options, and I didn't have to use Ice Weapon until recently.
Anyway, just as I triggered frostbite damage with a couple of attacks against the roots of the long-rooted sapling, I also caused the frostbite damage to the tank with only two attacks.
"Damn it! I got frostbite! Heal me!"
The tank slowed down due to the instant frostbite, but I aimed at the damage dealer behind the tank while the healers and enchanters were distracted with the tank.
"Ice Spear! Multiple Ice Arrow! Ice Ball! Ice Bolt!"
I fired every skill at the damage dealer alone. Naturally the damage dealer could not endure my attack and died immediately without the help of the healers and enchanters.
"Thin Ice!"
And I fired Thin Ice, which I usually reserved for the tanks, at the healers and enchanters.
Of course, Thin Ice was not as good as AOE skills, so I didn't use it separately, and only in conjunction with Ice Field. In fact, that was the standard way to use it.
However, it was enough to cause confusion to the healers and enchanters.
Amid the confusion I fired Ice Spear and Multiple Ice Arrows, whose cooldown had just come back up, at the damage dealers, and not the tanks.
In other words, I changed the way I confronted the enemies.
I decided to kill them one by one.
What about the AOE skills that inflicted large damage at once and which showed the greatest effects? I used it to block off the area or to keep the healers and enchanters at bay.
The reason I could use this new method was because of my confidence that I could hold out and ignore their attacks even though the enemies used their numerical advantage to strike me unceasingly.
"Oh my God!"
Sakamoto was forced to groan at the shocking scenes of the battlefield because he clearly witnessed the collapse of balance.
"This is total nonsense!"
Sakamoto thought that the so-called balance of attack and defense would work, for too excessive attack would lead to vulnerable defense, while too excessive defense would be vulnerable to the enemy's attack.
From that perspective, Asirante was a type who relied on attack, just like many wizards.
Despite this, Asirante showed extraordinary defense, which embarrassed Sakamoto a lot. But he believed that if his team kept up with the fighting as it was now, they would beat him clearly, because this kind of fight normally ended up with their victory.
However, what was happening before his eyes was clearly different.
Defense? Avoidance? Or move to protect himself? Asirante showed nothing like that.
Rather, he aggressively moved forward and fought them as if he invited their attacks.
So, Sakamoto ordered his team to start attacking him to fulfil his request.
But when the fighting continued for one minute, two minutes, and five minutes, he thought that something had gone badly wrong.
He watched Asirante use that dreadful AOE skill as something to hold his men in check while slaughtering them one by one using single target skills and Ice Weapon.
When five minutes passed, the unity of his team started to crack.
"Damn it! I can't fight! How can I deal with this monster?"
"I won't either! I can't see any way to deal with him!"
Some of his team members began to desert the battlefield.
But Sakamoto couldn't stop them because in his opinion, there was no way they could stop Asiratne.
Now, it was certain that his team would be defeated.
"Man, is his speciality defense, not attack? This guy has specialises in both attack and defense."
Sakamoto had no choice but to spit out a meaningless monologue.
And he realized that what he was aiming at was a monster.
Sakamoto immediately rushed at him because the word ' escape' did not exist in his dictionary.
He wouldn't retreat because his opponent was a Korean that he hated so much.
Ten minutes later, Soktae Kang couldn't close his hanging jaw.
Then he barely spit out swear words.
"Damn it! Let me give up on this game. I won't ever play again. Damn unbalanced game!"

Rooms of the Desolate
Rooms of the Desolate is a collection of short stories designed to guide the reader through the many rooms and mysteries of the bleak and greyscale labyrinth of the Desolate. The first entry, "The Forever Tower" follows an unnamed wanderer climbing an endless, colourless tower; the only world they have ever known. As they slowly ascend alongside the masses, they consider the nature of their world and look to the corridors as temptation beckons. The second entry, "Production Line", follows an engineer in a boundless factory, who encounters a product that does not wish to bow to the overseers and makes them question their belief in the truth and duties they were made to believe. Content guidelines: Current entries do not include explicit profanity, but future entries may do so, hence the presence of that tag. Some entries do include gore and violence, though not currently to particularly extreme degrees. The Desolate is exactly that: a desolate world; as such, it is bleak, downtrodden, and may deal with mental struggles. Cover art credit: Adam Borkowski on Pexels.
