The Newbie Is Too Strong's
223. The Most Displeased Monster Luca
“Ck.”
Unknowingly, I clicked my tongue. How not. The next opponent to appear was the type of monster that was least suited to an assassin.
Giant clan.
The type of monsters that had incredible strength were augmented by their extremely hard skin. No matter how I think about it, at the level of my avatar's current body, I can't defeat them in a short time.
If it were a fight that ignored the time, I would certainly not be this sweet. But this time it was different. If the eight teams participating in the competition are able to complete all three quests, then the four teams among the eight that will be selected are the teams that are able to complete the quest with the shortest time.
I want to exchange with my real body. It may sound funny, but my real body is much stronger than my avatar's body because at first I was from the world in the game. Well, maybe if you call it, an existence like me is called an NPC by many humans in this world.
What am I supposed to do? Should I maximize my advantage alone to defeat an opponent in the realm of my ability and hand the rest over to the rest of my team members?
It took me to slit up to three times into the same section on the softest part of the monster's skin to be able to deliver a fatal attack. Moreover, if it was in the harder part, it might take me ten or twenty slices. What can be done, since the assassin in the game is designed to have inferior strength compared to the swordsman class as their agility fee is nimble.
However, it seems that my concern is an unnecessary thing.
As soon as I realized, Kak Malik had floated his ice aura and immediately froze 5 giant clan monsters followed by an extraordinary fire style by Brother Brian.
The combination of Kak Malik and Kak Brian's attack that took advantage of the drastic temperature difference quickly cracked the skin of the giant clan monster and destroyed its body which instantly eliminated them from the arena.
Not just them. Although his attack was slower than Kak Malik and Kak Brian's combined attack, Senior Areka was able to hole the body of the monster of the extremely violent giant clan through the help of his shield spirit, Lutfi.
I then met a look in the eye with Egi. We both nodded to each other. Even without words, our hearts seemed to be in tune to hint at what we should do next.
Our attacks were both far less effective compared to Senior Areka and the duo of Kak Malik and Kak Brian so rather than focusing on defeating monsters where we could only defeat a little bit, Kak Malik and Kak Brian said, we both decided to act as support to streamline the course of the fight so that our quest completion time can be shorter.
Egi focused on archerizing the legs of the monsters of the giant clan to inhibit their movement. So did I. I moved to injure the veins on the ankles of the monsters where I was able to do so at the speed of 4 monsters per second.
Although the wound wasn't deep because I prioritized speed, it was enough to hinder the movement of the monsters.
The rest, now I leave it to the three great seniors in executing his ultimate attack in order to eliminate the monsters.
This is what is called teamwork. Not always should I be in a prominent position as the main attacker. As a good team member, I had to adjust my role to where it was most needed by the team.
Oh yes, given the basic role of an assassin in the standard party rules based on both Kak Derickson's playbook and Kak Nina's playbook, the assassin was indeed initially a back-attack support. So always excited me in attacking, until unconsciously always accentuate myself, I forget that fact.
If Uncle Heisel had known this, he would have immediately scolded me again about the fact that I always forgot the principle of an assassin not to stand out in battle. Well what can be done, since I know the avatar body in the game, the fight so it feels fun for me. How not, because if we die in the game, we will not die in the real sense.
Banzai for the immortal body!
Forgetting that insignificant talk, I was actually confident that I could defeat those monsters if asked. It's just that, as an assassin with strength limitations, maybe the time it takes will be a bit long. By acting as a support that inhibits the movement of opponents so that the exterminator team can be easier in carrying out its role, I can help the formation of the team to be more efficient.
40 Minutes 35 seconds 11 milisekons, our team, White Star Team was able to complete the castle defense quest without any problems. Not a short time, but I think it's been a pretty good amount of time considering the quest is not easy.
Now the rest equate the score with other teams only. How I wish I was anxious, hoping that with that score, we could be the best.
As the eighth-ranked team at the same time the first to die, apparently it was the Golden Tree Club who could only complete the first quest and fall in the second quest.
After looking at the composition of their players who do not have an assassin like me or at least a talented swordsman who is able to move quickly, he said, I think it's only natural that they lost regarding the key to completing this second quest was to first get rid of the shaman goblins which caused the long-range magic attacks to be ineffective.
It could be if players attacked them with physical arrows or advanced directly with swords or spears, however, the large number of monsters and their amazingly fast regeneration abilities will only rise again no matter the circumstances, absolute it will only exhaust the stamina of players who gradually circumstances will soon turn around once the stamina of the player runs out.
In seventh place, there was apparently the Sky Alpine Club. As was the case with the Golden Tree Club, they managed to complete the first quest without any problems, but fell in his second quest. Perhaps the reason was the same, the absence of an assassin or swordsman of great agility.
This is the weakness of the minds of the Indonesian e-sport vrmmorpg mania in this era who are too low-key on the existence of the assassin class in the team that is said to only be able to hide while attacking from behind. But when caught off guard, they are nothing and are easily eliminated.
That's certainly not wrong. However, in teamwork, their existence is certainly needed especially to eliminate the opponent members who are responsible as support that is usually weak, but his presence would increase the abilities of other opponents to many times over thanks to their buff abilities.
No one was able to easily break through the enemy's rear defenses aside from the assassin class.
Well, of course I am an exception because even though my class is assassin, I am able to fight one-on-one with a swordsman and then defeat him. The ends all come back to natural talent and the extent to which our struggle to practice increases our physical limits.
Continuing in sixth place, it turned out to be the Black Joker Club, the place where Viandra took up residence.
The Black Joker Club was able to complete the first and second quests, unfortunately, they were hampered in the third quest.
To complete the third quest, it required a good distraction or perhaps a shield capable of resisting the attacks of those super-powerful giant clans in addition to the existence of players, perhaps from the mage or swordsman classes, which is able to provide a final fatal attack that is able to penetrate the super hard skin of the giant clan monster.
After looking over to the Black Joker Club players, it appeared that none of the members had qualified all the conditions of that formation. All of them were only middle-class attackers, including Viandra, who although his fist was something, but it was certainly not enough to inflict a fatal wound effect on the high-vitality giant clan monsters. Meanwhile, their fellow shielders also looked not too skilled. It was only natural that they were eliminated in the third quest.
The atmosphere was increasingly tense about the remaining five clubs on the podium and there would only be 4 places to enter the semifinals.
Unexpectedly, now the MC actually announced from the top ranking.
Rank 1: Silver Hero Club, number of defenders \= 5, time 30 minutes 5 seconds 87 milisekons
Rank 2: White Star Club, number of defenders \= 5, time 40 minutes 35 seconds 11 milisekons
Rank 3: Club Clock Tower, number of defenders \= 5, time 41 minutes 59 seconds 97 milisekons
Our fate was also determined. We managed to advance to the semifinals which unfortunately only ranked second, adrift of time quite far from the Silver Hero Club, the champion one year ago.
Our only difference is the presence of their buff player, the cleric Lia. With the buff giver, stamina and strength of players will certainly increase many times.
Was my decision earlier to still hide the existence of Aura until now wrong huh? I don't think so, about proven we are still able to qualify for the next round even without the buff.
Thus, there are two teams left who still have to wait for his decision.
The only one is Lucifer Club, the old club that was founded in the early years of the start of the e-sport competition vrmmorpg the same as our club.
While the other one is Shadow Park Club, the club won one as much as 7 times, but unfortunately in the last year must be satisfied as a second-ranked club after being defeated by Silver Hero.
