Chapter 82 – 82.Praton, the Holy Water of Water (4)
***
Two days later.
We arrived near the water temple.
Let’s pull the carriage, get off the road, and go to the area where the soldiers are guarding.
“Stop! This area is off-limits!”
The soldier shouted loudly and warned.
After stopping the carriage, we got out of the carriage one by one, and Adelia approached the soldiers first.
“Good job.”
“Ah, Second Princess Adelia!”
As soon as the soldiers saw Adelia, she stood stiffly and gave her salute.
“It’s an honor to meet you!”
“It’s an honor!”
“Nice to meet you too. With Abamama’s permission, I came to investigate the Water Temple. Can I pass by?”
“Of course!”
“And could you please look after the carriage for a moment while we investigate?”
“Just leave it to me!”
“Thank you.”
After leaving the carriage with the soldiers, we headed to the Water Temple.
“This is the water temple…”
“It’s magnificent!”
“Wow…”
“It’s definitely worthy of being called a temple!”
The water temple was exactly like what I saw in the game.
Most of it is made of white stone, and although it has green moss here and there, perhaps because of the passage of time, its grandeur has not changed over time.
True to its name as a water temple, water circulated and flowed around the temple, and even fish were seen inside.
In the game, there were miscellaneous mobs near the water temple, such as goblins and blue orcs that were stronger than stone orcs, but I guess that’s not the same as the game.
“Where should we start investigating?”
“First, I plan to investigate the inside of the Water Temple.”
The research method was similar to that of a game.
The player and Adelia finally investigate the Water Temple after completing several quests.
As you defeat the surrounding monsters and begin an internal investigation, a hidden device activates.
There are no monsters around now, so I went straight inside.
As I passed through the wide entrance and entered the water temple, a scene almost similar to the game unfolded.
The inside of the water temple itself was not that large.
It’s literally a temple made just to hold holy water.
However, the murals carved on the wall created a mysterious feeling.
Murals of the Goddess of Creation making the holy water of water, murals of the holy water of water sprinkling the blessings of water, and murals of the ancestors of the Kingdom of Raden holding up the holy water of water surrounded the interior of the temple.
And in the center, there was a monument along with an altar-like structure.
The Water Temple feels like a so-called main tutorial, so there aren’t many special gimmicks or devices.
On the contrary, as the main story progressed, there were other temples and unnecessary large or annoying gimmicks, so there were times when established users complained to the management team to make it something simple like the water temple.
[No, only the temple has been going around for an hour now.]
-Please stop this fucking gimmick!
It’s good that the length of the kids’ stories has increased, but it’s a fucking gimmick
ㄴWhy does it seem like the temple is bigger than the city?
ㄴAh~ It’s a space filled with the power of holy water~
ㄴThen, in Chapter 1, the holy water of water was not wide because he was lazy?
ㄴPlease help me catch Seongsu quickly!
Atsbal, who was looking around the temple, crossed her arms and said.
“There is no holy water inside.”
“You’re really just a tourist and then you open a store?”
“Then there’s nothing we can do…” “Let’s focus on the investigation first.”
We looked around the temple for about 5 minutes, but could not find any direct clues about the holy water.
Up to this point, the game progress was the same.
‘Is it okay if I point it out slowly?’
“Adelia, what is that tombstone?”
When I pointed to the large stone monument in the center of the altar, Adelia began to explain.
“Ah, that is a monument that symbolizes the relationship between the Raden royal family and the Holy Water of Water. According to tradition, it was used when the royal family made an earnest request to the Holy Water of Water.”
“Is it not being used now?”
“It is said that the old days were more chaotic and the danger of monsters was stronger than now. It must have been used in those times. Now that the Kingdom of Raden has become stronger, there is no need to trouble the Holy Water of Water. No way…”
Adelia approached her headstone and gently took her hand her her her her.
“I never would have thought that the Holy Beast of Water, who helped the Kingdom of Raden for a long time, would fall under the magical hands of the Chaos Church. In order to repay the kindness of the Holy Beast of Water that helped the Kingdom of Raden in the past, we must be liberated as soon as possible…”
Wooooow!
“… !?”
Light was emanating from the tombstone along with magical power.
“W-what is that!”
“I don’t know! What the hell is this… !”
The only gimmick of the Water Temple, which had almost no gimmicks compared to other temples, was activated.
The moment a person with royal blood touches the monument, a space opens up where he or she can come face to face with the holy water of water.
In terms of the game, this monument is what allows you to clear the main story, fight the water saint again as the weekly boss, and mine materials.
As soon as the light erupted, the surrounding scenery completely changed.
The surroundings change into a space where there is a green shimmer everywhere, with no end in sight.
“Everyone! Over there!”
After changing into space, the image of Praton, the holy water of water, appeared in our field of vision.
-…
Praton, the Holy Beast of Water, still had a sharp red jewel embedded in his forehead.
However, unlike when we first met, he was curled up with his eyes closed, as if he were sleeping.
However, looking at his fluttering eyelids, you could never think he was sleeping comfortably.
“Praton, the holy water of water. I never would have guessed that it was in this space that had only been passed down in legend. That’s why… I’ve never been able to find it before.”
“It’s a battle in this mysterious space, facing the holy water of water… “My heart is pounding!”
“Lady Yeonhwa, your opponent is the Holy Water of Water. If you think it’s dangerous, I’ll join in this time too.”
“That’s right, Sir. Of course that won’t happen! Just deal with us like last time and that’s it! Besides, Adelia is with us this time!”
“Si, Si, Sihan! Shall we do Vines of Tenacity?”
“No, wait a moment, Pamela.”
Because checking cut scenes is important.
“Yeonhwa, first of all, the protection department!”
“Yes! Protection Department!”
The moment Yeonhwa unfolded the protective part, Seongsu of Water opened his eyes and stood up.
When Praton, the Holy Beast of Water, opened his eyes, his eyes were bright and holy. But soon those eyes turn red.
-―――!
Just like when we first met, the holy water roared in pain.
“Everyone, brace yourselves!” We will subdue the holy water here!”
“Vine of obsession!”
As soon as the battle began, Pamela was the first to use the Vine of Tenacity.
A vine of magic wrapped itself around the legs of the holy water beast that had not yet finished its roar.
Fraton immediately jumped on the spot and cut off the vine of obsession, but the debuff had already been applied.
“If you wait too long, you can run away again! You’ll be there in no time!”
“The blessing of recording!”
“Nail of crushing!”
“The referee’s thunderbolt!”
“Eat this!”
After Adelia’s buff, Pamela’s debuff Atzval’s attack and the Talisman of Yeonhwa rush towards Praton.
Although the skills were correct, Fraton, who was the main boss of Chapter 1, did not even flinch.
-―――!
With a roar, the Praton jumped greatly and was falling towards us.
There is a lump of water near the sole of the foot.
This is Praton’s wide-area skill that we have seen in games.
The moment it hits the floor, a chunk of water on the floor bursts and a large amount of water hits the player.
There is a protection department here, but I have no intention of accepting it gently.
‘Take one leg first.’
As my strength increased, I was able to recreate, to some extent, the superhuman player actions seen in the game’s cinematics.
A representative example of this is very high jumping.
Percussion!
Before Praton even touches the ground, he jumps from me first.
“Screw Sting!”
Slightly to the left of Praton’s left front leg.
In human terms, the spear was aimed at the armpit.
The power is about rank C.
Of course, if you apply the penetration skill.
[Pierced through the holy water of water, Praton.]
The power added to the rotation, penetrating through Praton’s armpit, can separate the left leg from Praton.
-――!
However, as if he had the dignity of the main boss in Chapter 1, Fraton stepped toward the target even though one of his legs was separated.
A lump of water still remaining on the sole of the right leg burst and created a wave.
The force of the wave was strong, but no one was injured due to the protection of Yeonhwa.
Rather, this development has already occurred during Rok Kong.
“Nail of destruction! Nail of destruction!”
“Thunder of punishment!”
“Hi-yah!”
“Sword of destruction!”
The group members immediately used their skills and put pressure on Fraton.
A magical nail was driven into the back of his, electricity burned the fur, a kick struck the side of the torso, and the sword cut into the leather.
–!
But Fraton also does not sit still.
Plato, which instantly regenerated its legs, created water in the air and turned it into arrows to attack, attacked with its horns, or kicked its hind legs to counterattack.
However, by building on the teamwork we had accumulated so far, Yeonhwa reinstalled the protection unit at the right time and established stable dealing.
‘Bigger this time!’
Accurately captures the target as it falls.
The target is not the torso, but Praton’s neck.
Due to my spear mastery, I threw the javelin downward following the visible trajectory.
With the sound of cutting through the wind, the thrown spear flew towards Fraton, who was in the midst of counterattacking.
Phew!
[Pierced through the holy water of water, Praton.]
The spear I threw accurately pierced Praton’s neck.
Because it was not a perfect cut, most of it was pierced but not cut at all.
But there is already someone to finish the remaining work.
“Adelia! Cut off her her head her her her!”
“Sword of destruction!”
Adelia’s sword, which boasts cutting power as it is meant to cut through waves, was aimed at Platon’s neck with the effect of water swirling around.
Platon’s defense decreased after being hit by a crushing nail.
Additionally, the neck his was already in tatters due to being pierced by my spear.
Adelia’s sword, which has been strengthened by more than three times due to the blessing of the sword, is enough to cut off Praton’s head.
Sigh!
As expected, Adelia’s sword separated Praton’s head and body her her her.
The moment you land, immediately grab the spear.
“Hmph!”
He quickly kicked the head of Platon, which was thought to be the starting point of regeneration.
“I, I cut the head of the holy water of water…”
Cried Adelia, who was in a state of distraught over the fact that her country had cut off the head of the water sacred to her.
“Come to your senses! The battle is not over yet!”
“… ! I’m sorry.”
I also paid attention to the torso that was still lying right next to her, along with her.
After a while.
As if reminiscent of a horror movie, the praton with only its head remaining is floating in the air.
-―――!!!
I let out the loudest roar I’ve ever made.
