414 The Secret of Marion Khalifa 3 (1/2)
”Oh! Oh…! What, is this is a public battle?”
Semi who was looking at the monitor while holding onto the chair beside her straightened her body and looked at the computer.
Both of Semi's eyes were shining bright.
”Wow, is this just a one-time thing?”
In Kailan, there were several dungeons that users could choose from to fight in.
However, a map that no one could select as the battle was happening in the sky was an option that no one could select.
Ian's party was so high in the sky that a single mistake could lead to their death.
Semi opened the chat window with an exciting look on her face to look at other users' reactions.
- Wah, lol, how are they able to fight there?
- I don't think that it is a matter of killing the Khalifa, but the chance they have are surely better.
- I know. Any one of them could fall out of the sky with just one simple miss-step out of habit.
- Huh, where would they even step onto? They're so high from the ground that no one could even take a step anywhere.
- Do you see those golden clouds around the Khalifa?
- Ah, yeah. I see them.
- Those are cloud pieces where they could take a step on to. It disappears once they step on it, but they can jump onto it once.
- Oh, something like that exists?
- Yeah, a bridge of clouds on the southeast side of the continent, you can see it if you go there.
- Ahh, it sounds hard but fun.
After seeing the chat window, Semi smiled and mumbled to herself,
”This is almost like an arcade game.”
A gold cloud that disappeared when stepped on.
A content that appeared quite frequently in arcade games.
She was thinking about how she would approach the raid, but she could only watch as of the moment.
However, being in the spectator seats made it much more interesting.

[Die! You creatures of the Human Dimension!]
Krrrrng-! Kwakwang-!
A huge roar from the Marion Khalifa came out, a strong gigantic energy poured all over the place.
The energy was bound to the map.
It wasn't a wide-area attack with direct damage, it was a critical debuff skill.
Marion 'Khalifa', unique ability, 'Demon pollution' has been used.
During the duration of the attack, you will receive additional damage of 75% for every attack of the devil energy.
Magic-resistance is decreased by 30% for the duration of the debuff.
For the duration of 15 minutes, 7% of a magic attack's damage will be absorbed.
The debuff's effects will last for 15 minutes.
Ian's expression was slightly distorted.
Since he was thinking about the battle with the Undead, he didn't set his magic-resistance properly. This debuff would definitely become troublesome.
In addition, it lasted for a duration of 15 minutes.
Considering that the remaining time for the final clear was 17 minutes, the debuff would be active almost till the last minute.
'There are no way attacks would even work.'
Ian's gaze went over to the Khalifa's head.
[Marion Khalifa/ Lv 500]
Being a Level 500 was tremendous.
With this debuff, even a single hit from the Khalifa's tail would kill them off in an instant.
Ian shouted to Levya,
”Levya, please initiate an attack buff right away!”
Levya was confused because of Ian's command.
”You want to set an attack setting in this situation? We will all die with a single hit!”
”It'll be a buff with a defensive ability for the Khalifa's attacks.”
”…”
Ian calculated exactly how much damage they would take, and Levya immediately agreed to it and set all the buffs to attack.
Instead of putting up defensive buffs, she cast magic of the higher tier 'Haste' which increased a target user's movement speed.
Hweeing-!
[Party member 'Levya' unique ability 'Blade's Edge' has been activated.]
[For the duration of 20 minutes, the damage done by all normal attacks will be increased by 20%.]
[Party member 'Levya' unique ability, 'Warrior of Light' has been activated.]
[For the duration of 25 minutes, all the attacks of the party members will be increased by 37.5%.]
[Party member 'Levya' unique ability, 'Goddess of Wind' has been activated.]
[For the duration of 17 minutes, all the movements of the party member will increase by 22%. ]
Once all the buffs were set, Ian moved aggressively fast.
Since being in the defensive was out of the question, they had to move as aggressively as possible.
”Offence is the best defense.”
In a typical RPG game, being hit doesn't limit the movement.
In simple words, attacks couldn't be reversed, even when hit. The player could attack continuously.
But Kailan was different.
In reality, when one gets shocked, one either loses balance or gets clumsy.
Since they were in a situation where it was hard to keep their balance, it would be difficult to deal a lethal blow to the enemy.
Like what Ian said 'Offense is the best defense'.
For example, when the dragon's tail flared up, a strong impact to the torso could distort its movement.
And in the case of the huge Khalifa, its body won't shake with just a few attacks.
”Hoonie! Don't think of using your Undead, and do your best to provide support from the back! Hyung will deal with the Khalifa!”
At which Hoonie replied.
”There is no place where I can even summon my Undead!”
An undead that was similar to that of a ghost could be summoned in a race, but they were the type of undead that wouldn't be much helpful in a Boss Raid.
There was an undead that was called the 'Ghost Dragon'. That Undead was a top tier among the Undead, and it could also fly. However, no warlock had been able to summon the Ghost Dragon yet.
