【A trickster, you say. Stop with such cruel words! Ouch, it hurts!】

“Wow, gives me the chills. This trickster. Hit him even harder every time he shows up.”

Raphael fired a flame attack, signaling the start of everyone’s assault.

Kite, with an uncomfortable expression, approached the clown Hori, deflecting the recognition to Hazen’s summon.

【Uhahaha. Come at me, come at me……. Ah, it hurts. Don’t hit me.】

Hori, in the form of a male, yelled while juggling skills around.

“This pervert. Just do one thing!”

Enraged Hazen’s sharp command made the clown Hori complain, screaming in pain.

【Do just one thing, they say. Our tribe originally consists of both male and female. Don’t speak recklessly without knowing!】

“Ah, so the gatekeeper was like that too. Well, still, you have to die!”

Raphael unleashed a flurry of tornado attacks.

Having heard the explanation, Kite said, “It’s been 9 minutes and 50 seconds. Properly going in seems to be possible only with Raphael and Tien’s attacks.”

He continued chasing Hori, who was running around, and said in the chat window, [/Party, it seems like we need to split up and attack. Hazen, you and I will lead from both sides, Mitchell and Tien attack from the north, Raphael from the south. Ruel, stay as far back as possible.]

Following Kite’s instructions, everyone took their positions again.

“It grew.”

【Kahaha, the energy of Lord Hori has become stronger. Be prepared, everyone.】

Hori’s boomerang also grew in size compared to before.

Moreover, a large ball appeared out of nowhere, and Hori, riding on it, began rolling it, attacking.

Whip lashes, blowing a horn that caused headaches and disoriented the mind, and abnormal attacks beyond that.

It was difficult for everyone to regain their composure against the merciless attacks.

[/Party, Mitchell. Try to burst the ball that Hori is riding. Because of that, the movement speed increases, making it harder to attack.]

At Kite’s command, Mitchell’s target changed to the large ball that Hori was riding.

[/Party, how about it? Is the attack going in?]

Hazen asked, and Mitchell replied, [/Party, yes. It’s too agile, so the damage doesn’t go in properly…… But every time it hits, 10% of the health bar is deducted. The ball doesn’t have high defense.]

At least, it meant they could burst it.

The party left the task of attacking the ball to Mitchell, and the group began to focus on aggressively targeting Hori again.

【Kahaha, why has everyone gone silent? Afraid of Lord Hori’s strength? Oh, don’t be scared. I’m not such a terrifying woman.】
“Ugh, this is really distracting because of that mouth. Either shut up or play the horn.”

【I don’t like it! Isn’t this my charming point?】

Due to Hazen starting a verbal fight, Hori’s movements became sluggish.

In the meantime, Mitchell burst the ball with a rapid-fire attack, causing Hori, who fell to the ground, to scream in a voice filled with shock.

【You killed my friend. My precious Nana…….】

[/Party, now is the time. Hurry, attack.]

Kite rushed to Hori, who was sobbing, as soon as his attention was diverted.

Trying to finish Hori off while he was in shock, Hori received one or two hits from Kite’s sword, then quickly got up, distanced himself using juggling skills, and started dancing with a small stick-like thing with a clown doll representing himself.

“The attack pattern has changed.”

As soon as Kite warned, a scream erupted from Ruel’s mouth.

“Oops! It’s hot.”

Every time Hori, dancing with a stick, swung it, a fireball was fired, hitting Ruel, who was healing behind.

“Are you okay?”

As Kite’s attention was diverted, Hori’s mouth tore open, and he lunged to swallow his head.

“Watch out!”

Fortunately, Kite blocked it with his shield and stepped back, avoiding the surprise attack.

Just in case, Ruel quickly opened the talk board.

Although the attack patterns of Hori, which had only roughly appeared until now, were being updated, additional strategies posted by users were also being added.

[/Party, the part where you get hit by Hori’s swallowing attack is melted and disappears. Be careful.]

In the game, if you died and resurrected, that would be the end, but here, since it was real, losing enough health to lose your life would be a big problem.

In desperation, Ruel examined the talk board, but there was no mention of Hori’s weaknesses.

It seemed that there was no choice but to attack and reduce health.

[/Party, again in 7 minutes and 48 seconds. It’ll grow more after 2 minutes. 40% health remaining.]

Raphael’s explanation made even Hazen, who was usually talkative, serious.

Although Hori continued to talk and play, he suddenly shut his mouth and focused only on the fight.

Ruel calculated the time from capturing the gatekeeper.

It had been about 40 minutes, so they had to start paying attention to the overseers soon.

[/Party, the stomach. It seems to be weak. Just now, an arrow stuck there, and a large number indicating a shock appeared on the screen.]
