I Have Awakened but Mosquitoes Are My Enemies chapter 18
“If the cerebral blood clots pop out after a while, there is a high possibility that the nearby vampires will come all at once. Please wait without anyone approaching until I give a signal.”
“I knew.”
Among the vampires, there may be a star, so there is a risk that C-class hunters will be helpless if they approach them hastily.
That’s why Kwak Hye-na, an A-class hunter, needs to draw their attention, that is, aggro.
Kwak Hye-na is very good at such things.
She used her provocation skill to focus the aggro of the Brain Blood and Vampires on her.
“Kwauuu!”
“Quaaa!”
While vampires have brown bark, brain bloodsuckers are covered with black bark reminiscent of darkness.
Therefore, it is not difficult to recognize the identity of the cerebral blood vessels even from a distance.
‘Fortunately, it’s about 3 stars.’
The other vampires are two 2-star monsters, and the rest are normal non-star monsters.
In fact, when hunting for cerebral hemorrhoids, cerebral hemorrhoids, which fly like the wind and penetrate the gaps, are the most troublesome.
It is not uncommon for team members to be attacked by surprise as they cannot even use provocation skills.
But now, thanks to the mosquito net buff, my teammates don’t have to worry about being bitten by blood clots.
It was given by an F-class hunter, but from the point of view of Kwak Hye-na, the team’s leader and tank, it is as strong a buff as an A-class.
‘I’ll be able to finish this soon.’
however.
Not long after the battle began, an unexpected problem occurred.
“eww! what? Why are bugs only coming to me!”
It is none other than B-class Hunter Lee Do-jin.
His body was completely covered with bloodsuckers, including blood clots.
The bloodsuckers do not pay attention to the other team members and are aiming for Lee Do-jin, the only one who does not have a mana mosquito net.
“Be careful, Lee Do-jin! Unfold your mana shield!”
“It’s already wrapped!”
Fortunately, he can put a protective shield on himself as he has B-class healer characteristics.
It is also possible to blow a shockwave of mana through the shield to destroy bloodsuckers.
However, the problem is that the bloodsuckers continue to flock to Lee Do-jin even after they are broken by the mana shockwave.
Dismissed! sudden! Fire!
Bugs are blocking your view, so you have to continuously spread mana shockwaves.
Although the mana consumption is not large, if he, as a healer, is struggling with bugs in this way, he will not be able to protect his teammates.
In particular, it becomes a headache if the curse of <vines of darkness> spread by the brain blood tree is not lifted.
It’s a curse that can be easily lifted by a B-class healer, but if left unattended, mana will be depleted in an instant.
“It is the vine of darkness! Hurry up and release it, please!”
“I am also a vine of darkness! Please release it quickly!”
A black aura reminiscent of black vines surrounds the bodies of C-rank hunters Lee Joon and Park Yong-seok.
self-
[The curse of the blood in the brain binds your body.]
[10, 9, 8…]
Even Kwak Hye-na’s body was covered with vines of darkness.
Fortunately, as she is an A-rank hunter, the curse doesn’t do much damage.
This is because the vines of darkness that last for over a minute in the case of a C-class hunter disappear in about 10 seconds for her.
However, even for 10 seconds, a lot of mana is stolen, so the healer must quickly remove the curse.
However, Lee Do-jin is currently struggling with the bugs and is unable to demonstrate such a sense.
“f*ck!”
“Keugh!”
In the meantime, two C-class hunters collapsed in a state of exhaustion due to exhaustion of mana, and other hunters were entangled in the vines of darkness.
“Ah, Healer, what are you doing? Come on, break the curse!”
“Mana runs out!”
“Wait a minute!”
Although Lee Do-jin hurriedly lifted some of the hunters’ curses, the timing continued to be delayed because he was concerned about the vampires’ attacks.
‘I’m crazy!’
If this continues, the Hell Gate will open.
no, it’s already open.
‘We have to get rid of the blood in the brain first.’
Kwak Hye-na spreads a mana shield on her body and then intensively hits the blood in the brain.
Then, not only the Brainbloods, but also the Vampires attacked her by extending tentacle-like branches in a pile.
Bang bang! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
The more the shield is impacted, the faster the mana is consumed.
It is essential to drink mana potions continuously.
‘under! If I’m going to do this, why do I need an alternative team if I don’t come alone?’
It is absurd that she is dealing with brain bloodsuckers and multiple bloodsuckers by herself without the support of other team members, especially healers.
‘It’s hard any more.’
There is only one bottle of mana potion left, so if she continues, she has no choice but to be defeated.
‘You have to avoid it. This is not enough even for me.’
Not only the hunters, but also the special forces members waiting at the camp were upset.
Lee Do-jin ran to the camp and dragged not only vampires but also vampires en masse.
Even after that, I can’t even see how far Lee Do-jin ran away.
“It’s a vampire!”
“All fire!”
Trerk! Tattang! Trrr
Kwaaang!
The sound of exploding grenades as well as automatic rifles are heard by special forces members.
The vampires that attacked the camp were regular level monsters, not star level monsters, so the firearms could work.
At the sound of repeated explosions, the 2-star vampires near Kwak Hye-na turn their attention there.
Even the 3-star Brain Blood is looking that way.
This is a situation where special forces members may be wiped out.
‘Going crazy.’
Literally, there is no such thing as a welcome party.
‘It wouldn’t have been like this if Kang Jun-yeong had been there.’
All of this happened because of Lee Do-jin’s useless truth.
But now it’s not the situation to just resent him.
“I can’t! Everyone get out!”
“What about Kwak Hye-na and Hunter?”
“Don’t worry about me. After luring the monsters to the other side as much as possible, I’ll escape on my own. Hurry up!”
“All right!”
In preparation for such a case, the special forces members had been continuously training to escape, so they quickly ran toward the entrance after carrying the wounded on their backs.
‘Provocation! provocation!’
Kwak Hye-na provoked the brain bloodsuckers and vampires to chase her so that the team members could escape safely.
“Kuuu!”
“Kiaaagh!”
Furious vampires followed Hye-na like mad, but she managed to evade most of them.
Nevertheless, the one chasing after him is the brain bloodthirsty, a black tree monster.
[The curse of the blood in the brain binds your body.]
[10, 9, 8…]
‘What a disgusting guy!’
As he continues to spread the vines of darkness, Kwak Hye-na is now almost depleted of mana.
I just drank the one bottle of mana potion, so now there is no way to fight the brain blood clot and win.
Escape is the only way to survive.
‘Let’s be strong. I’m almost there.’
At first, I headed in the opposite direction, but I am moving towards the entrance using various forks.
This is possible because you know the terrain inside the gate.
“what? Mr. Kwak Hye-na?”
Then a familiar voice came from the front.
It is none other than Park Yoo-ra, a C-class hunter.
You can also see Junyoung’s figure beside him.
Kwak Hye-na was surprised to see them.
“Why haven’t you two left yet?”
Then, Joon-young answered.
“It’s a bit hard to go out like this, so I was catching the bloodsuckers at the gate. But why are you alone?”
“I don’t have time to explain. Hurry and dodge! 3-star brain blood in the back!”
As soon as those words were finished, a huge black wooden monster appeared behind Kwak Hye-na.
“oh my god! Hurry and avoid it!”
Park Yoo-ra was surprised, but Jun-young’s expression was the opposite.
Why avoid?
A predatory smile bloomed on his lips.
Level up! Level up! (4)
The height of the body is 10 meters.
The kidneys of the 3-star (★★★) Cerebral Blood Tree look similar to the 2-star (★★) Vampire Tree I saw yesterday.
However, not only its bark, but even its branches and leaves are dyed black.
The only other color is the two blood-red eyes located in the middle of the tree trunk.
A vicious aura endlessly emanates from the two pointed iris like a snake.
It’s like seeing a demon tree that has come out of some hell.
‘It looks really bloody.’
In fact, Junyoung was also surprised at first when he saw the cerebral blood that Hyena Kwak brought.
His eyes widened and his heart raced.
But, oddly enough, it ends there.
The overwhelming sense of fear disappeared somewhere in an instant, and the beating heart suddenly became calm.
It was like this when I encountered a 2-star vampire yesterday.
I was surprised at first, but strangely I don’t feel afraid.
‘It doesn’t make sense for me, the natural enemy of vampires, to be afraid of vampires.’
Of course, his level is low now, so it is obviously impossible to deal with a 3-star brain blood.
It’s not to the extent of overdoing it, but if you rush at it recklessly, you might not even be able to pick a bone.
‘Looks like he’s on the verge of breaking, doesn’t he?’
The first time I saw it, I was scared and couldn’t see it properly, but now I can see it.
There are dents, even web-like cracks, all over the tree trunk of the brain blood tree, from the lower roots to the top crown.
‘Did you break almost everything and run away?’
Looking at Kwak Hye-na, who seems to be about to collapse from exhaustion, I can roughly understand what the situation is like.
With her fighting power, if she hit her a few more times, she would collapse, but it’s a pity.
“Junyoung Kang! Park Yoo-ra! You two, don’t look back and run toward the entrance while I’m holding the blood clot!”
Kwak Hye-na came running, stopped in surprise, and instead moved to the side where the brain blood clot was located.
Even in the midst of this, it seems that he is trying to get Jun-yeong and Park Yoo-ra to escape safely by demonstrating the spirit of sacrifice.
It wouldn’t be a big deal in the usual physical condition, but it’s a very unreasonable act right now.
“Kiki Kick!”
Cerebral blood clogged with evil swung a bunch of tentacle-like branches and charged.
Since Kwak Hye-na does not have the mana to create a shield, it is difficult to block the attacks of the branches, let alone counterattack.
‘It’s dangerous that way.’
When Kwak Hye-na’s staggering appearance looked very precarious, Jun-young instinctively approached the brain blood.
Of course, it is not a reckless attack.
It is based on the judgment that there is a good chance of winning.
‘If I do well, I can win.’
Yesterday, he single-handedly chased away a 2-star vampire.
Of course, that Brain Blood is a 3-star monster, so he must be much stronger.
His combat power has also increased from level 4 to level 7.
The amount of mana greatly increased, and the power of vampiric immunity was also strengthened.
“oh! Where are you going?”
When Junyoung suddenly rushed towards the blood in his brain, Yura Park looked at him with a shocked expression.
Even as a C-class hunter, she can get a one-kill if she gets hit incorrectly by the brain blood attack.
Not to mention an F-class Hunter.
From her point of view, it is as if Jun-Young really decided to die.
“Junyoung Kang! Are you crazy? Hurry and avoid it!”
It’s a situation where the word crazy comes out of course.
“Don’t worry. I am not crazy.”
Junyoung smiled calmly, as if to say not to worry, and quickly approached the cerebral bloodstream.
Since the attention was focused on Kwak Hye-na, the brain blood flow didn’t care even when Jun-yeong came nearby.
puck! puck!
Even when Jun-yeong swings the three-pole stick and hits the guy’s body, it’s the same.
‘As expected, this kind of weapon doesn’t work on star monsters.’
The triple bar that shattered the goblin’s head at once did not have a significant impact on the brain’s bloodstream.
Rather, my hands tingle as if I hit a concrete building wall that is extremely hard.
[Mana] 549/550
I just wasted mana.
‘It can’t be helped.’
It was already expected to some extent, so Junyoung was not taken aback.
He immediately hit the wooden pole of the brain blood tree with his bare hands, not with a triple stick.
puck!
Then, the huge body of the brain blood tree, which did not budge on the three-stage rod, trembled.
Kwajak, along with a sound, cracked the skin where Junyoung hit.
[Mana] 539/550
“Quaaa!”
Enraged at this, the brain blood clot swung one of the branches that were aimed at Kwak Hye-na toward Jun-young.
👁 Profit!
Tentacles reminiscent of giant whips flew in with a terrifying sound.
Whirik!
Junyoung quickly rolled to the side to avoid it.
You can deal damage with <Blood Immune>, but strong enemies consume a lot of mana, so it’s better to refrain from mana management.
👁 Profit!
Joon-young dodged another tentacle that flew in succession and hit the tip with his fist.
Pak!
The tips of the tentacles crumble like dust.
Unlike the bark, which is as hard as iron armor, the tentacles are weak in defense, so a single <Agile Hand> is sufficient.
Of course, even in this case, mana is consumed, but it is natural that it is less than vampiric immunity.
[Mana] 529/550
‘Certainly, it’s convenient to summon only the mana spear.’
Instead of the entire ability status window with miscellaneous information, you can summon only the part with only mana and place it in one side of the field of view.
“Koooooooooo!”
On the other hand, when one of the tentacles was smashed, the anger of the brain blood was directed not to Kwak Hye-na but to Jun-young.
The moment a dreary light flashed from the red iris at the center of the tree trunk, a dark vine-like aura rose from the ground.
‘This?’
A strange energy that flew in without being able to avoid it.
[The curse of the blood in the brain binds your body.]
But that energy soon dissipated.
【Mana】 504/550
[You have resisted the Curse of Brain Blood.]
“Quoooooooo!”
