I Returned as an FFF-Class Witch Doctor

Episode 77

“Balestra rose!!!”

Cheer up!

As Hye-eun’s epee was shot toward the front, a red petal-like aura flew like a blade.

It was a unique phenomenon caused by Chevalier’s attack skill < Balestra Rose >.

The aura of the red petals that flowed along the sword force became a sword and aimed at the head of Berthas Ghoul, who was blocking the front.

It wasn’t until after the Berthas Ghouls, who had been attacking Hyeeun’s ferocious attack, dug in between their foreheads like the petals of < Balestra Rose > splitting the tofu.

I was able to realize for myself that Hye-eun’s attacks should never be underestimated.

“Kreuk…?!”

Whoa!

It is also true that Hye-eun’s red petals had as excellent penetrating power as her epee, but what was even more frightening was that the aura exploded after penetrating.

“Backstab!!!”

“…?!”

And Hye-eun quickly tilted her back 90 degrees at the roar that resonated behind her, while feeling several objects passing over her stomach.

It wasn’t hard to hear a roar erupting in front of her.

[Witch doctor]

[Corrupting Potion]

It was Damian’s < Corrupting Potion >.

“Go forward like this!”

Chow ah!

When Damian’s < Corruption Potion > formed a temporary space, Giorno’s broadsword cut the air in half and shouted.

It was a frighteningly accurate shot.

At first glance, Giorno’s flash attack, which seemed to split the space in two, did not blow all of Berthas Ghoul’s heads off.

It was strong enough to cut trees and dozens of ghouls on both sides of the search in one blow.

Among them, while the ghouls whose limbs had been blown off tried to transform, the 6th reconnaissance team, including Giorno, began to explode the heads of the fallen ghouls one by one without anyone saying anything.

[Notification: < Berthas Ghoul > has been defeated!]

[Notification: < Berthas Ghoul > has been defeated!]

[Notification: EXP obtained!]

[Notification: EXP obtained!]

….

[Notice] : Level up!]

[Notice: You have reached level 47!]

These were huge experience points for an unpredictable, on-the-go situation.

‘Damn it’s so hard.’

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Damian broke into a cold sweat at the amount of monsters pouring out from the road leading to the trench ahead.

The central position was immediately breached.

After dozens of monsters attacked from the trench on the left where they were last time, Damian and Hyeeun were able to reach the central position thanks to the advanced protection shield, which is a defense function of the passage.

Soon after, it was confirmed that the central position was also occupied by various monsters.

It was like it collapsed in vain without even having time to deploy a defensive line.

The monsters thoroughly destroyed the camp as if they knew in advance that Giorno’s 6th reconnaissance group would return here.

Damian, who was in the aisle, also expected that the camp would not be safe, seeing the ghouls attacking from the center, but when he arrived at the camp, seeing monsters swarming, he felt that negative thoughts gradually dominated.

“Owner bastard!!”

“Such a fucking foot.”

Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Damian spit out a curse as he watched the tentacles pouring down on him at the same time as the screams of the bunch.

It wasn’t just one or two annoying guys.

Unlike the Berthas Ghouls, who appeared from the moment they reached the central camp through the passageway, the long-distance monsters cleverly pressured the 6th reconnaissance group, sacrificing themselves.

[Gyros]

A monster that appears in the extreme land of Berthas Plateau. It has a bizarre appearance with the upper body of a human and the lower half of a scorpion. It boasts fast mobility with a small body length of about 1.5 meters and eight legs, but unlike its multi-joint appearance, it has a characteristic that it cannot see its own back.

It shoots poisonous needles from its mouth and tail and presses the enemy with its quick mobility. The two arms in the form of pincers have a grip of about 1 ton, so be careful in close combat.

Race: Demon

Type: Normal

Level: 67

Special Note: This object is very cunning and is good at luring opponents with quick maneuvers, so be very careful.

[Switzer]

A monster that appears in Berthas Plateau, a land of extremes. It has a similar appearance to Berthas Ghoul, but has the characteristic of attacking with a tongue reaching 5 meters when attacking.

With penetrating power that easily pierces most iron plates and bodily fluids that paralyze nerves, it is easy to suffer from abnormal conditions the moment your skin is cracked. Perhaps because he had a relatively weak body in mind, he had the meticulousness to wait until the enemy’s attack hit.

Race: Devil

Type: Normal

Level: 67

Special note: Be careful as this object has the property of bursting its own body the moment it gets into danger.

And Damian looked at < Switzer > with a grotesque tongue reminiscent of a chameleon and < Gyros > with grotesque shapes, avoiding their attacks while chanting lowly into his arms.

“Shoot everything you can. Shut up those nasty bastards.”

“I got it, master!”

“Beep!!”

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-doo-doo-doo-doo-!!

In other words, Damian evaded the Swatcher’s attack only with control, and at the same time ordered the < auto fire > by surrounding the bunch and new chicks all over his body.

“Captain Giorno? I think I’ll be completely annihilated at this point. I don’t think the trench personnel in the front are still alive.”

“Know.”

“But why are you going to the trenches ahead?”

“Because it might be alive. And if the central position is occupied, it is the same as not being able to use the existing search route.”

“Keeeeeeeeeee!!”

Awesome!

While Damian asked, Giorno cut another Berthas ghoul and said,

It wasn’t that he didn’t know what Damian meant.

Considering that Berthas Ghouls had already rushed into the aisle when they were heading to the central camp, the monsters were pouring out of the trenches in front.

It is not enough that two crew members have already died, and it is highly likely that the trenches have also been half-destroyed.

Moreover, if such a premise is true, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the path Giorno has taken now is actually the path to death.

In other words, it was the height of inefficiency.

Although, as Giorno said, the search route to the fortress cannot be used immediately due to the occupation of the central position.

At this point, when it is obvious that the journey will be of the same level of difficulty wherever you go, not many people will be able to understand the need to go around the trenches.

“Is it safe to say that there is a way back to the fort even in the trenches ahead?”

“It’s exactly the way to the trench on the right.”

“The trench on the right is located on the way back to Aldeon Fortress.”

“Yes, soldier.”

So, seeing Damian accurately read his heart, Giorno felt that a ray of hope was born in this hell, where there seemed to be no way out.

There was no way for him to know the life and death of the other members, but it was because Hye-eun and Damian’s personal power was not enough to become a burden to him.

“Hahaha…!”

“What are you doing? I still have a long way to go.”

Eventually, Damian gave his gaze to Hye-eun, who was out of breath, while shining his eyes at the various monsters filling the front.

“I will open the way. Even the trenches ahead.”

Whoa!

In the darkness, Damian’s whole body rose up in a misty haze.

* * *

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Quaang!

When one of the tongue monsters, Swatcher, shot her tongue toward the trench, the female user’s face became pale.

One of the members of Reconnaissance Team 6, < Chocojoa > who was restoring the central position along with Giorno.

However, Chocojoa seemed very busy unlike his frightened appearance, and there was also a good Assassin user behind him.

“X-bar… x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x…!!”

“Are you going to keep cursing like that?!”

“No, I’m doing my best right now!!”

And when the Assassin user, < Nowon Dandy Nam >, shouted as if he was attacked by Chocojoa, a dazzling current began to emanate from the trench.

“Shut up, you bastard bastards!!”

Charged bolt trap.

It was < Stalker >‘s trap skill that specializes in traps among the Assassin class.

“Is it now—!!”

Wow!

Nowon Dandy Nam shouted in a strange tone, and Chocojoa raised both arms above the trench.

It was a similar type of magic to the advanced protection shield, the basic defense of the trenches.

They activated a defensive magic circle by activating a rune the moment the monsters rushed into the trench in front, and they additionally activated a rune to block the passage with a shield.

It was unavoidable to live.

Fortunately, the area of the trench they were crouching in was not that wide, so no matter how many monsters came, the amount of monsters that the protection shield faced was not so large.

In addition, Nowon Dandy Nam uses items such as < Smoke Bomb > or < Slash Bomb > to obscure the monsters’ attention, while delaying their attacks.

In the meantime, it was not too difficult for the mage, Chocozoa, to use two or three layers of defense magic, as long as she defended the trench by throwing lightning traps such as the < Charged Bolt Trap >.

Of course, it was an improvised technique, and it was not known what would happen the moment Nowon Dandy Nam’s consumables and Chocojoa’s mana ran out.

“How many left?!”

“What are you talking about!”

“There are things like those bean bullets!”

“My bullet?! There’s not much left for X-Byeong now… heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Quaang!

A ghoul ran from the other side of the aisle and hit its head, and nowon dandynam screamed.

It was about to go crazy and jump.

Even though I made a fuss about Chocojoa’s words, that was because I didn’t really have much left.

Right now, the top of the head is not enough, and the monsters are bursting into the shield right next to it, so it was no different than a known fact that they were eaten by the monsters and climbed the road to the nether world.

“You’d better kill me!! No, I’ll just set a trap underneath, so you want to step on it together?!”

“I beg your pardon?!”

“It’s better to step on a trap and log out than to be eaten by them, too!!”

In the end, even if they had endured so far, only a hopeless ending was left because the future was so dark that their efforts could be said to be imaginary.

“Heh heh heh…! I didn’t apply just because they gave me a lot of money…!”

“What kind of people are there?!”

Jureuk!

Eventually, the moment when Chocojoa forgets to spread the shield and is dumbfounded at the appearance of Nowon Dandy Nam sitting on the floor and taking care of himself.

“…?!”

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Soon after, an explosion resounded behind Berthas Ghoul, who was almost crushed by the advanced protection shield, and the monsters in the passageway, including him, began to explode at once.

“Mu what what what what…”

“People… people…?”

The two of them didn’t even notice that they were hugging each other.
