Episode 488 – Helter-skelter (10)
Baalzebub revealed himself.
As its nickname, the Lord of the Flies, suggests, it had the appearance of a giant fly, and most of its body was made of metal.
-Wow;; It's really big
-It's a real king fly lol
-Rather, it is less repulsive because it has been modified?
-Really lol this is better
-If it had been like that, it would have been really annoying lol
-Look at the drill on Paris's leg lol
-Isn't it impossible to guard at that size?
-Wassi, isn't it over after blocking it once with a shield?
The massive body and menacing mechanical parts were enough to make not only the viewers but also the members nervous.
“Hey, if I get hit by that drill, it’ll be over?”
“Hmm, I think I should focus on evasion rather than defense.”
“It really can’t be helped… You’ll have to see it for yourself!”
As Genome was trying to explain to him, Baalzebub immediately showed him how to use the drill.
The drill began to spin furiously, aiming not at them but at the ceiling. Rocks began to fall, accompanied by violent vibrations.
“Ah, so this is how you tell us the start of phase 2.”
The passageway the members had entered was blocked by a pile of rocks. With that, they entered a full-scale battle.
“Whoa! This, let’s dodge it first!”
“Look at the shadow and avoid it!”
“Don’t let the directions overlap!”
“Oh, it seems like they were trying to put down a slow plate in phase 1 because of this attack pattern.”
It all started with avoiding falling rocks. The members quickly scattered and escaped the falling rocks.
-What the heck is a line range attack!
-Haha, but you still avoid them all?
-What was Professor Per's lecture about in the meantime?
-The other members are all looking at the floor and avoiding you, but you're the only one who's relaxed?
-But if I hadn't hunted down the real suicide bombers, I would have been really pissed off lol
-Right lol the pattern design is evil
-King Chiman has already cleared out the purge day lol
After confirming their safety, the members immediately launched a counterattack. Lee Kyung-bok also immediately sent a drone to scan Baalzebub.
So, rays, plasma blades, and grenades rained down on the boss.
“Wow, you’re really a tough guy! You’re just a boss!”
“As expected, he is the one called the Great Devil!”
“The captain is scanning right now, but you can tell the weakness just by looking at it, right?”
“Are you talking about the head?”
Baalzebub's defenses were considerable. The members intuitively guessed that his head, the only part of his body that hadn't been modified, was his weak point. Indeed, Lee Kyung-bok felt the same way.
-Anyone can tell this is a head lol
-It's practically an open book?
-To be honest, the developer told us and started doing this. LOL
-Even combinations without engineers need to target weaknesses, lol
-How can I get some angles? What the f*ck
-The head is completely covered by the drill lol
The problem was that targeting that weak point wasn't easy. The large drill attached to the forelegs obstructed the aim.
“Oh my, what is that!”
“Oh no! It’s a drone that was making suicide bombs!”
“It’s easier if you blow it up in advance!”
Moreover, Baalzebub's attack pattern wasn't limited to falling rocks. He also sprayed corrosive fly drones from within his body, targeting the members.
“The drill is coming! Get out of the way!”
“Oh really! Just do them one at a time!”
“Thank goodness they moved the rock away!”
“Oh my god! I almost died!”
As a demon modeled after a fly, Baalzebub had multiple legs. In addition to the two legs touching the ground, there were six exposed drills.
The rest, except for the drill that simultaneously pierced the ceiling and covered their heads, fell upon the members. They kept them busy by shattering the fallen rocks.
-Oh my;;; I'm out of my mind
-Now that I look at it, Cerberus from Region 1 was a fairy?
-???: Ah, that guy was the weakest among us
-Oh my gosh lol Cerberus isn't even a great demon lol
-The weakest (real)
-As soon as the tutorial is over, C DA C!
It was simply not a situation where he could calmly exploit the gaps between drills. Viewers were hesitant, but Lee Kyung-bok had a different perspective.
"The pattern isn't difficult. The falling rocks are just to block your path, and the drill attack is easy to avoid as long as it doesn't stop. The main target seems to be that fly drone."
"Ah, as expected, Commander! You hit the nail on the head. This is how you kill someone with a dot deal!"
“Fortunately, there was no major damage!”
“Thanks to the contract I made with that old man!”

Thanks to the contract with Belphegor, the debuff effect was not great.
-My brother's choice was perfect lol
-Like a black company, they only take profits lol
-Holding the king straight is no problem, but dealing damage is the problem.
-Yeah, this seems like it'll take quite a bit of time for Purge Day too?
-Still, I think I can clear it without any problems at this level?
Viewers agreed, but they also suspected it would be a protracted battle. Baalzebub's reckless attack patterns made it difficult for the members to focus effectively on their attacks.
"Guys, let's change the plan a bit! I'll blow up the rocks, so just focus on attacking the boss!"
Genome suggested a different strategy. Since the damage from the Paris drones was minimal, he would clear the rocks to secure the path, allowing Decibel and Eclipse to focus their attacks.
“Oh, if only you would do that!”
“As long as there are no rocks, it doesn’t matter if the speed is a little slower!”
The members agreed to this, but Lee Kyung-bok added a word.
"Don't force your firepower to disperse. Concentrate your firepower with the ground forces. I'll take care of the rocks."
"yes?"
“Master?”
“No, how⋯?”
A question mark appeared on everyone's face. How could the engineers possibly handle the rockfall?
But that was only for a moment. The members' expressions soon turned into smiles.
“If Master can do it, there must be a way!”
“Prepare to attack!”
“Okay! Loaded!”
The answer to that question will soon be revealed to us. All three made judgments based on experience.
Soon, Baalzebub caused another rockfall. As the violent shaking began to spread, Lee Gyeong-bok immediately took action.
-Oh? Barrier overclocking?!
-Of course I use drones since I'm an engineer lol
-Can this prevent rockslides?
-Hold on with the HOXY barrier?
-Oh my gosh lol If the power runs out it's meaningless lol
-Wow, it moves so fast and it's controllable lol
While viewers were wondering, the drone deployed a barrier. However, the barrier's condition was different from what was expected.
Aren't there barriers here and there that are far too small for the falling rocks?
However, the viewers and members could not help but exclaim in admiration at the following results.
“How about this?”
“Wow! Master, your calculation skills are truly⋯!”
“No, this is really crazy!”
The rocks that fell and hit the barrier all changed their trajectories. The rocks that bounced off to the side collided with each other like pinballs, then flew back toward Baalzebub.
Of course, the guy immediately smashed the rock flying at him with his drill, but it didn't matter. Thanks to this, the members were able to buy time to focus on their attack.
-Wow lol this is it lol
-Oh my gosh lol how can you do that like a pinball lol
-A good defense is a good offense, isn't that common sense?
-Godful Tai Chi!
-Bajikba meta ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ
-Attack pattern (self-harm)
-Now I'm finally getting some deals lol
-5252, are you planning on doing the perfect shortcut again? LOL!
The viewers cheered him on, and the message that followed left everyone stunned once again.
['Baal-Zebul' analysis completed]
[>Display critical points of the corresponding object]
[> Damage to the target object +50%]
While the members concentrated their attacks, Lee Kyung-bok wasn't just watching. The overclocked drone completed its high-speed scan.
“Wow! 50%?! Now I can finally taste the sting!”
“Well, I guess my head was my weakness!”
"It's like the captain's hands are tied! If we're lucky, we'll get a hit!"
As everyone expected, his head was his weak point. Everyone was satisfied with it, but also expressed some regret.
-The real boss fight is full of buffs lol
-The boss scan is really hard, but you have to do this much, lol
-???: Easy, right?
-The perfect standard is out!
-Even if you know the weakness, it's still hard to target lol
-If we continue like this, we'll win easily.
-Right, lol, that's a shortcut
The members' thoughts were similar to those of the viewers.
“It’s our turn from now on!”
“Hmm! I guess I’ll just have to target their weaknesses as best I can!”
“The captain will take care of all the falling rocks, so let’s go all in!”
Things couldn't get any better from here, everyone thought.
But that was a hasty judgment.
“That drill is getting in the way, so let’s take it off, okay?”
Lee Gyeong-bok was not satisfied with this.
* * *
The members were nervous as they waited for Lee Kyung-bok's instructions.
“Huh, is this really happening?”
“If it goes as you wish, Master, it will work out!”
“If only the lords and the sages would do well⋯!”
At that sight, Lee Kyung-bok smiled and moved his hand.
"No, you can try it once and if it doesn't work, you can try again. There's no set number of times."
-That's true, but lol
-Hyung? Isn't that something you can say because you're my hyung?
-Other people don't even get a chance to do it!
-Reet (very annoying)
-But Godple is also a first-time expertㅋㅋㅋ
Meanwhile, Baalzebub's attack pattern continued. Lee Gyeong-bok deftly returned the rock, and once again, Baalzebub's hands were tied as he dealt with the rock.
Fly drones poured out from between the rock fragments being shattered by the drill.
“Everyone, please stand by!”
That was the opportunity Lee Kyung-bok had been waiting for. An overclocked drone flew in at high speed, forming a barrier.
The form changed again. A round, rolled barrier began to sweep away the Paris drones.
-What the heckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-WA! Flying Bulldozer!
-No;;; How come there aren't any fragments mixed in?
-Is this really okay?
-???: Now it makes sense
-Really lol I guess I'll end that first too lol
-Isn't there anyone who believes that Purge Day will be retaken?
Viewers were both amazed and excited, thanks to the unfolding of events as described by Lee Kyung-bok.
“Okay, get ready⋯”
Lee Kyung-bok guided the drones with leisurely, flowing gestures. The drones, pushed back by high-speed movement and barriers, clumped together into a dark mass.
He pushed the drone straight into Baalzebub's drill joint.
“Sergeant Ji, shoot!”
“GISCO, on the move!”
Genome fired grenades in quick succession, his voice cracking. Finally, Lee Kyung-bok timed his release of the barrier, triggering an explosion.
As the barrier was lifted, the fly drones trying to escape burst out all at once, coating the drill's joints with corrosive fluid.
“Master, right now!?”
“Purple Sir, give instructions!”
The two men waiting knew it was their turn. The joints were corroded and full of holes.
“Okay, now get your buffs!”
The recovered overclocked drones then attacked Eclipse and Decibel in sequence.
“Please leave it to me!”
Eclipse gripped her halberd tightly, swinging it and pressing down on the plasma injection module. The piercing blue plasma blade sliced through the mangled joints.
Eventually, the severed drill hit the floor with a loud noise, revealing Baalzebub's head that had been hidden.
“Full charge!”
As the condensed light ball in the charging rifle's muzzle swelled to its maximum, Decibel smiled brightly and pulled the trigger.
A beam of light hit my head, completely covering my vision for an instant.
With a thud, Baalzebub's head vanished. In its place, black blood gushed out.
Only when the giant body tilted sideways and fell over with a dull noise did the viewers realize it was a success.
-Parishat Cart!
-Did you catch a fly with a fly?
-Wow lol this is really possible lol
-(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)(Gemalcon)
-This is real co-op! This is real co-op! This is real co-op!
-Perfect link, I'm so tired of it lol
-If there's no angle, just make one. That's the strategy, right?
-If you can't breathe as well as King Jikjik Purgatory Day, don't do it lol
-Really lol Only the stork party can do this!
-I really need to make a drill cutting challenge lol
– Did you do a good job with the nickname of Purge Day?
-Imari, you'll purge all the great demons and such, lol
Just like the chat room was bustling, the members couldn't hide their joy.
“Ugh, our captain, I’ll start off by saying hello! Huh? And right away, the two of you unleash a flurry of attacks! Kyahaha!”
“Wow! This is seriously amazing! The gun barrel is shaking so much!”
"That was quite exhilarating, Sir Decibel! I was so nervous, worried that something might go wrong…"
Lee Kyung-bok smiled at him and shrugged slightly.
"So what if you fail? You can always create another opportunity. Isn't that what an assistant does?"
At those words, all the members nodded.
“Oh, that’s right. Master is giving me the best support!”
“It makes me feel better to think that Purple Wonder is definitely behind me.”
“Ugh, our captain’s very existence is a buff.”
Just being with Lee Kyung-bok gave me psychological stability.
* * *
After Baalzebub's death, a story cutscene began. The members of the group were performing another kill and breaking through a passage blocked by rocks.
“Huh? Didn’t you hear a sound?”
“I heard it too. It feels like something is rustling.”
-Oh? Looks like Belphegor is here?
-Did you come to see if the giant fly was dealt with well?
-Huh? That's not the sound of a wheelchair?
-Maybe he didn't come by car lol
-Right ㅋㅋ It's not that the old man can't use his legs, he just rides because he's too lazy to move ㅋㅋㅋ
But then, along the way, a presence was detected. The viewers suspected it was Belphegor, but Lee Kyung-bok's intuition was different.
'They're not the enemy, but it's a bit much to say they're on our side…'
It wasn't a clearly distinct feeling, like hostility or goodwill. But its presence itself was considerable.
Soon, the person in question appeared on the screen. He was not a demon, but an angel with pale skin and a neutral appearance.
“Huh? An angel? Are there angels in hell?!”
“No, judging by the black wings and rings, it looks like some kind of fallen angel.”
-Haha …
-A fallen angel in hell? This is an invincible right?
-???: Your irresistible magic~
-Grandpa ㅠ Who knows that song these days?
-Oh my gosh lol I know the songs banned from the college entrance exam lol
The viewers immediately noticed the identity.
“Human potential is still amazing.”
The members in the cutscene immediately aimed their weapons, but he continued speaking calmly. His voice, too, was neutral, befitting his appearance.
“My name is Lucifer, and I have not come to harm you.”
The fallen angel, Lucifer, said this and turned his gaze to the dead body of Beelzebub.
“As you can see, I am different from these mutated demons. I am just as I am.”
Lucifer took a deep breath and shook his head sadly.
"Hell wasn't meant to be like this. Demons shouldn't be able to utilize the technology of humans who fell into Hell. Therefore, I stand against the other great demons."
-It seems like a similar case to Belphegor?
-The emergence of pure-bloodism following the rise of ghostism!
-The orthodox devil
-???: Science and technology? I can't accept it!
-???: This isn't the devil!
-The fallen angels are the origin of the devil, right? LOL
-You were a Helldite activist, not a Luddite?
-What the hell is Heldite?
The viewers laughed at that remark. Meanwhile, Lucifer continued his explanation.
"I can't leave hell like this. They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend, don't they? I, too, want to drive out the great demons."
Lucifer reached out.
The members in the cutscene flinched, but soon Baalzebub's corpse disintegrated into particles of light and disappeared.
"However, the great demons wielded absolute power in their respective domains, so there was no way. I, too, was only able to find this place after Baalzebub's death."
Then Lucifer flicked his finger. With that, the pile of rocks blocking his escape floated like feathers, following his finger to the side.
"Hell has already lost its original form, and the Archdemon has been transformed. The only way to deal with them, coincidentally, is through human technology. Hellforming, you know? Only that technology can erase the realm of Archdemon."
Both the members and the viewers could understand the situation through that line.
“Oh? Is this it?!”
“It seems like the boss gets weakened depending on the number of Hellforming areas.”
“Oh, this isn’t just a system, it’s integrated into the game settings.”
“That’s right! The developers pay attention to these details!”
-Oh lol I thought it was just a difficulty adjustment system lol
-Well-made games know how to incorporate this into their settings!
-There's a reason why Hellformers is the representative co-op game lol
-???: Ugh! If only I had expected a perfect bug⋯!
-Who would have expected that, lol
While everyone was satisfied, Lucifer took a step aside and made way for them.
"The demons' use of science and technology is something humanity must also be wary of. It was Leviathan, the archdemon of jealousy, who granted freedom to the scientists who fell into hell, rather than punishment."
Finally, Lucifer revealed why he had come.
“Get rid of him. I’ll show you where his lab is.”
