I Became a Genius Mage in the Cthulhu Game Chapter 4

Episode 4

Episode 4 Boss Room

The long hallway continues unreasonably.

The hallway is sloped at an ambiguous angle.

A spiral corridor that slowly goes underground.

I have no intention of delving into a secret laboratory buried under the ground and performing all kinds of trivial puzzles or battles.

‘Let’s go straight to the boss room and deal with the boss.’

From my experience so far, it is much more advantageous to clear quickly and get the reward for clearing in the shortest amount of time rather than stealing small experience points.

Of course, regardless of the game’s cerebral ideas, I had a greater desire to get out of the stuffy basement and check the surroundings.

The surroundings were pitch dark because there were no lights, but it wasn’t a big problem for me.

This is because the moment I recognized the darkness, I was able to activate magic at a speed that was almost unconscious.

[Moonlight vision]

It is a level 0 basic spell that provides magical vision that allows you to see in all directions even in the dark.

The flow of magical energy is as natural as changing your facial expression or moving your fingers.

What kind of magic should be used in what situation and how to activate that magic.

All of this is already in my head.

– Woooooo!

From time to time, I could hear the shouting of zombies who sensed my presence from beyond the wall. haha! For some reason, I wanted to input the ‘/dance’ or ‘/insult’ command, but I couldn’t.

If I could afford it, I would have just sat on the floor and rested.

“Haaaa… … .”

Finally, I stopped for a moment and took a deep breath.

Although it wasn’t a long time, I was able to understand the state of my body.

‘You lost all your strength and health to increase your intelligence, right?’

Instead of gaining intelligence, his body became extremely weak.

Much better than the body I had in the past when I was a gamer due to lack of exercise and a telecommuter!

Even if I just walk, my back is broken and my legs feel like they will be shattered.

Even on such a short trip, I felt like I was going to die.

We need to get out of here quickly and find a way to strengthen this weak body.

“… … But how did this happen to me?”

As I think about the settings in the game one by one, I suddenly feel a sense of resentment.

why? Why does this only happen to me?

For a moment, I wondered if I had gone crazy after going crazy with the game, but the appearance, force, and smell of the zombies I had seen a while ago were too real to be just a delusion.

Suddenly, one of the settings of [Cthulhu World] came to mind.

No, this is a setting in the Cthulhu mythos, which is the source material for [Cthulhu World].

“Blind and foolish.”

A being that may be the starting point of the world.

The most innocent and pure person created by the chaos boiling in the deepest part of the abyss.

An amorphous evil that will make you cursed just by mentioning his name.

The most gigantic being whose image cannot even be captured by the poor human brain.

The most profane and sacred person in the abyss of outer space.

And the king of all things, a blind and foolish god.

that… … What if exists?

What if the reality I knew was just a part of the vast universe and abyss?

Would it be possible to create a world in a game and invite me into it?

why? The question is meaningless.

by chance? just? Or a whim? Maybe it’s something less than that, or maybe it’s more than that.

In the world of [Cthulhu World], his name is kept a secret because just saying his true name or thinking about it in your head can drive you crazy, but I even know his name.

His true name is ‘Azathoth’.

I even know his name.

His name is kept secret, but

You might go crazy. If you think it in your head or say it out loud, his true name… … .

Wait, why is my vision blurring?

I have this eerie feeling that the world is turning upside down… … .

[□□□□ □□□□ □□□□□]

I can’t see well.

A message window appears in the air, but the contents are unreadable. What does it say? therefore-.

[□□□□ □□□□ □□□□□ □□□□□□□□ □□□□]

Itching sensation inside the skull. A stinging sensation behind the eyeball. itch. It felt like something was trying to squeeze out from between my brain and my brain, like some bug was eating through the folds of my brain. And- I mean- and-.

Pajijijik-.

[System: The exclusive attribute ‘Abyss Madness’ is activated. The effect of ‘Status Abnormality – Confusion’ is nullified.]

“Ugh!”

It was truly a narrow miss. With an intense spark, the [Abyssal Madness] trait was activated, and thanks to that, I barely, really barely.

I was able to stop my hand from trying to scoop out my eyeball.

There is still a lingering, unpleasant sensation of my brain bubbling.

Wow, what the f*uck is this!

“Oh, it’s really no joke.”

Now I understand why people call him by long, wordy nicknames instead of his name.

I didn’t give him a nickname to make him feel good or cool for no reason.

Just thinking of their names can make you curse or go crazy.

‘He’, no, ‘that existence’ was real, at least in this world!

Even by mistake, you should not remember that name.

Eventually I moved forward again. The passage was long and dark, but there was no hesitation.

Is [Madness of the Abyss] removing even the slightest fear or hesitation?

For someone whose mind was in danger of being destroyed just a moment ago, he is in very good condition.

“Ugh… … Anyway, this is helpful in the current situation… … .”

Yes, there are already one or two strange things. If you worry about these things, there is no end to it.

After walking for a while, I was able to reach the end of the passage.

At the end of the narrow passage, a large iron door awaited.

Beyond that iron gate, a challenge awaits me that I must overcome.

‘There was a boss room right after this.’

After you beat him, you can really go outside.

Clear the [Moonlight Vision] on your eyes and open the iron door… … Damn it, this iron door is too heavy! I was barely able to open the door after almost pushing with my whole body.

I had to blink for a moment because of the sudden bright light.

Beyond the iron gate, a very spacious warehouse was waiting.

It is almost the size of a normal school auditorium.

There were large containers placed in all directions, and the ceiling was twice as high as the other spaces, perhaps to accommodate such large cargo.

This is the underground warehouse of this secret laboratory. If you defeat the monsters that have been placed quite deliberately, you can use the freight elevator heading to the ground.

Since all normal exits are closed, it is also the only passage I can use.

The enemy waiting here is a monster that is like the boss of this lab, but with my current magic power, I can handle it without any problems.

Pap-guk-jak, pag-jak-.

A strange noise can be heard from inside, as if something hard is being chewed and swallowed.

‘It’s over there…’ … .’

The monster is not yet visible because the containers are randomly placed out of place and forming a wall.

If you sneak through the containers, you’ll find a huge… … what? therefore… … That huge… … .

The appearance of a monster is visible.

oh,

shit… … .

[The bizarre shape of the ‘mutant giant rat’ stimulates your ‘craziness – rat phobia’.]

ah… … Yeah, it was that kind of concept… … .

Why did I forget it?

Although I remembered everything else, I had forgotten what kind of monster this place was.

[System: ‘Insanity – Fear of Rats’ appears.]

Or was it madness that was causing my brain to refuse to remember?

[Attempt to resist confusion with your mental strength stat. Mental strength test… … .]

Ugh… … please please!

My spirit, please bear with me!

[…] … success!]

Did it!

However, [Abyss Madness] does not block the madness and fear triggered by the penalty attribute [Shattered Spirit].

Still, since the sanity check worked on a probability basis, there was no crisis of forced confusion, but the [Insanity – Fear of Rats] that was embedded in my mind was caused by that unpleasant-looking s***… … No, it aroused a strong fear and rejection of ‘the creature’ that was the cat’s enemy.

‘Wow, I really, really, really hate it!’

Tough hair sprouting like thorns all over the body.

Unpleasant pink skin exposed with sparse hair peeling off.

The horribly swollen tumors around the head resembled a frowning human face.

And it is so huge that it is better to compare it to a truck than to a human being.

The front paws that protrude from its chest move so precisely that they should be called hands rather than paws, and they hold on to the corpses of the humans they hunt.

Plap-duk, bak-duk.

The force of teeth is strong enough to crush a human skull in one bite.

A huge snout soaked in human blood.

It is literally the shape of a monster.

But more than that image, I think of that child… … I feel fear because of the fact that it resembles ‘it’.

First, let’s run away!

No, wait a minute. What can I do when I go back?

stop! No, move!

My thoughts are spinning wildly. I was confused for a moment, not knowing what to do, and as a result of my clumsy movements in a situation where it was difficult to approach quietly, I was rewarded with a huge bear-sized… … Oh, that, just thinking of the word is driving me crazy.

That monster! That terrible monster noticed me.

The guy stared at me, rolling his big, black eyes that made it difficult to understand his emotions.

Hey, snow!

Those horrible eyes!

The monster itself is not the problem.

Yes, based on the data, this is an enemy that shouldn’t be a problem.

Although I have a nickname like ‘Beginner Killer’, to me now, it’s just a trivial level.

But just the fact that it resembled ‘that creature’ shattered my concentration.

Come on, quickly.

The most powerful magic that can be used right now.

The most powerful and massive spell is needed.

“Jjiiik!”

“Ugh!”

I panicked at the loud noise that reminded me of ‘that creature’ and tried to ‘shoot’ the pistol I was holding in my hand.

“Ugh!”

The problem was that he was not in the correct shooting posture, but his weak body was unable to overcome the recoil of the pistol.

The bullet went off in the wrong direction, and my arm was completely bent and floundering in the wrong position.

It was wise not to drop the pistol. Ah, Kim Shin-hwa, you idiot! You have to use magic, not pistols or anything like that. We need to raise our magic quickly!

The battle just started with an attack. The enemy’s attack pattern is… … .

‘Well, well, well…’ … ‘Without manners!’

First of all, it was a long-distance attack. That bastard picked up a large container on the floor and threw it this way. When I think about it, does that make sense?

It was a pretty powerful scene when I saw it in the game, but when I was in the position where it happened, it almost seemed like a house was blown over.

But the only thing that causes me fear is… … It’s just the image of that boss guy, and the sight of a large container weighing 30 tons flying is just an exhilarating thrill.

At the same time, a list of spells that can be cast right now goes through my head quickly. The person I need to respond to right away is… … When I think that it is not that creature, my mind becomes clearer.

There is no need to avoid it. No, actually, I can’t avoid it because my posture is off!

[Arrow of Destruction]

[Spell Enhancement: Maximization]

[Spell Strengthening: Strengthening Power]

The magic power that boiled up at lightning speed transformed into a violet glowing negative dimension energy body and was released through my fingertips.

It was originally a spell that fired purple glowing magic arrows, but it was overloaded to an absurd size by pouring in a double dose of overflowing magic power and spell strengthening properties.

Rather than an arrow, a gigantic pillar of magical energy flies, similar to pulling out a telephone pole and sending it flying!

Kwaaaaaaaaaa!!!

A large explosion occurring in the air.

And flying debris.

It was a powerful explosion that shook the inner walls of the underground warehouse.

It’s more powerful than I thought… … The boss monster created based on the creature’s appearance can be seen flinching greatly. I was surprised by the incredible explosive power, but I guess I was embarrassed.

‘But it’s not a situation to show off… … .’

I ended up consuming too much magical power just to block the projectile. There is no waste like this.

I didn’t know how much magical energy I had released, but my magical energy was trapped in the container fragments and cargo scattered in all directions without being completely burned.

‘Oh my, my magical power… … .’

Where is this kind of waste? Even though it was said that all I had left was magical power, the game brain, which values ​​high efficiency, reprimanded my hasty use of spells. Okay, maybe I can adjust it a bit more.

‘Besides, the shaking of the walls and ceiling was unusual… … .’

The story of a building collapsing and being crushed to death because the magic is too strong is a specification.

– Sigh! Squeak!

I get goosebumps. Of course, that child even cries… … .

“Damn it, just say kwaaaang!”

The monster moved its huge body and rushed towards me. Yes, that’s right. Even if you think about it, it’s not something you can throw away, right?

I’m glad I didn’t go into confusion. If confusion breaks out, that huge s*** that quickly closes the distance… … Why do you look so different… … He must have fainted upon seeing his appearance.

Assess the remaining magical power and calculate the means that can be used.

There are many ways to respond, but the magic I activated in the next moment was a bit strange.

[Dark Curtain]

There is almost no offensive magic in tier 0.

The veil of darkness is simply an auxiliary spell that covers a desired area or target with shadow, making it difficult to see.

It is only used to hide or confuse the target, and is not combat magic in the first place.

But for me now, this is the most necessary order. To the point where I give up my defense and start fighting.

Quang!

Because I threw my body to the side as soon as the magic was activated, I was not hit directly. Of course, that guy must have been surprised by the sudden darkness around him.

The monster threw itself where I was and completely destroyed the containers behind it. Wow, the power is good too. Are you saying you want to play container destruction with me?

You must not let down your guard. It is an enormous impact coming from an enormous mass. If I were hit directly by something like that, I wouldn’t be able to survive. But now I can fight.

That terrible monster is now covered in artificially created magical darkness, leaving behind only a dark silhouette.

Of course, it hasn’t disappeared.

I just covered it up for a while.

“Ha, Mr. I can fight now. die!”

[Arrow of Destruction]

[Spell Enhancement: Multicast]

Reinforcing once is enough. I really wasted a while ago.

A little while ago, we focused on increasing the size and power of the arrows, but this time we strengthen them by firing multiple shots at the same time.

It is not a magic designed to fire multiple shots from the beginning, and it is an inefficient basic magic.

To cast these spells simultaneously, the number of formulas that must be calculated increases exponentially. This also varies depending on the spec, but even a high-level wizard can find it difficult to operate 3 or 4 at the same time.

But the arrow of destruction that appeared before me… … There are 8 in total.

“good!”

Arrows of energy from the negative dimension rained down on the target, who now only looked like a pitch-black mass.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

When the energy bullets imbued with fierce explosive power hit, the guy’s body instantly turned into a rag and let out a terrible scream.

– Jeeeeee!

The thing itself appears to have been completely processed, as its internal organs protrude beyond the area covered by the shadow. But this is not the end. Even if you are sloppy, a boss is still a boss.

That guy has 2 phases. If you remove more than half of that guy’s blood, a very terrible pattern will begin… … .

– Sigh!

– Sigh!

– Sigh!

Noises of unpleasant frequencies poured out from dozens of spouts.

This is the Jjol summoning pattern.

“Oh really… … “It’s going to turn.”
