Chapter 317

“Yeah . And if all of them have just one monster, that will make things easier . ”

Indeed, their strategy involved Payne being the main attacker, while the other three did what they were good at, which was casting buffs . They would create a one man army . Everything from status effects, recovery, resurrection, support fire . They would cover him .

“I can’t lose after receiving this much support . I’ll fulfill my role . ”

Like that, Payne unsheathed his sword and faced the monster . First, he needed to check if his strategy would work . And so the three cast buffs on Payne . None of them affected the enemy, and they wouldn’t exactly be considered rare skills either .

Once they were finished, Payne dashed forward before the monster could approach him .

“Ray, ‘Breath of the Holy Dragon,’ ‘Holy Blade of Fragmentation’!”

The blinding breath that Ray unleashed not only damaged the monster, but staggered it .

Payne rushed towards it all at once and cut deeply into its body with his sword . Then he swung again to the side, this time cutting through its shoulder and reaching its stomach . The monster was also carrying a greatsword that looked like it would deal a lot of damage, and it swung it wildly . However, it was either blocked or dodged . And it was not able to hurt Payne .

Part of it was because of the buffs, but when it came to pure swordsmanship, this monster was not on the same level as Payne .

“‘Holy Blade of Conviction’!”

As Payne’s voice rang, a light flashed from his sword, and when it swung down, it easily separated the monster’s torso from its lower half . And so ultimately, without ever being in danger, and without ever not overwhelming the enemy, Payne’s battle with the warrior had ended .

“That exceeded my expectations…”

“I’m reminded of the boss on the 10th floor of the tower . Just pure strength . ”

“If this is what they are like, then buffs will likely be enough, unless there are a lot of enemies at once . ”

As they thought about his strength, the four of them went through the door that was at the back of the arena . This time, they were greeted by two doors . One had a katana on it and the other a bow .

“Which should we choose?”

“Let’s go with the katana . It will be easier than someone with a ranged weapon . ”

They decided to choose the katana, and then they went through the door . What they were greeted to, was a similar arena . This one had a single samurai who was sitting down as he waited for them .

“I see . I’ll attack him while the buffs are still active . Can you support me?”

“Of course . ”

“Whenever you need it . ”

“I’ll be ready to heal you . ”

Upon hearing this, Payne held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other as he approached the enemy . He made sure to protect himself by holding his shield up as he got close . Just then, and with a speed that even Payne could not follow, the katana was swung, and a damage effect exploded from his arm, where his shield and sword could not cover . Payne flew in the air from the knockback effect . But since Misery immediately healed him, he did not suffer any real damage . However, the two now glared at each other .

“I see . This one really is quite different from the last warrior . ”

“Let’s follow the plan then . ”

“Yeah, let’s do that . ‘Immovable’!”

Payne then used a skill to nullify knockbacks, and then he charged forward . This time, he didn’t bother to raise his shield .

“Sou, ‘Cage of Gravity . ’”

“Fay, ‘Tangled Grass . ’”

Since the enemy just kept his hand on his sword without moving, it was easy to target him with magic . Kanade had Sou set down a field that greatly reduced one’s moving speed, and Izu grew plants that would get in the way of a monster that was trying to move . These measures would prevent the Samurai from escaping, should it try .

And so Payne closed in the gap between him and the samurai . The samurai repeatedly slashed with his katana before returning it to its sheath . And it did this at a speed that the eye could not follow . However, Payne ignored him and raised his sword . Of course, the katana dug deep into his body as it hit him, but Payne continued his attack on the monster .

“‘Light of Healing’!”

Payne had the advantage of numbers . And there was no way that he wasn’t going to use it . Even though knockback was now nullified and Payne continued to attack him, the samurai might still have won due to incredible attack speed and overwhelming amount of HP . However, not when Misery was there . Misery’s healing kept Payne from sinking, and he continued to unleash his heavy attacks .

There was no way for the samurai to win against a player that was so strong that he could continue to be hit by him .

“Holy Blade of Wall Breaking’!”

The sword came down with a flash of light . It stabbed into the samurai’s neck before he could block it . And like that, the enemy disappeared into light .

These four were already among the strongest in the game . And so there was no way that a single monster could win .

“Now, let’s keep going . I think there should be more of them next time . ”

And like that, they headed to the next door .
