Chris Raid Party Fortress Bus Ride Review.txt (+368)
[Content]
First of all, there’s a problem from the 1st named if you’re going to run a 3-person bus.
You know it’s hard for three people to break all the eggs within the time limit.
But when the baby anglerfishes wake up, a hell party starts from then on, so you can consider it almost impossible to clear, right? Because you die from area-of-effect skills while trying to kill baby anglerfishes after failing to break all the eggs.
However, Chris’s Raid Party doesn’t break the eggs.
I’m not sure if it’s possible because of Chris’s Raid Party’s firepower, but they save the Tower of Training new skill cooldowns and use them all when the baby anglerfishes wake up.
They herd the baby anglerfishes artistically too.
They calculate party member movement lines and gather all the baby anglerfishes at one point, then use skills all at once;
They’re avoiding area-of-effect skills, pulling out of area-of-effect zones, and herding trash mobs at the same time.
Well, other parties might be able to do this too if they practice a lot and coordinate well, but the 2nd named is something else.
It’s a 3-person party with much stronger firepower than a decent 4-person party, so it’s true that they don’t see the berserk phase if they just maintain the bleeding stack, but the speed is on a different level from my regular party from the start.
I just peeked my head out slightly from the upper floor stairs, but all the sawtooths pass through the center of the battle area.
Do you think the melee DPS or tank could survive?
But they didn’t die. It didn’t even look like the bleeding stack was building up. Since the bleeding stacks build up very quickly, Balgar just melted away;
For the 3rd named, they rotate invincibility skills perfectly even during the last-ditch pattern, matching cooldowns exactly.
Since it clears if just one person survives, it could be cleared if just one person does it properly, but all three don’t make a single mistake.
Of course, since there’s only one party protection skill, they take one hit with their bodies, but the tank didn’t seem to get hit at all?
Actually, this is what I’m most curious about.
Even if it’s a Swordsman’s invincibility skill, it’s just counterattack and backward evasion, so how can they not get hit?

-Didn’t you take screenshots or videos? I’ve heard they’re very fast, but their play style is like… it’s not even like they’re playing Astria Online.
ㄴ What does ‘playing Astria Online’ mean? I’m new to the gallery
ㄴ It’s like saying ‘play Astria Online’ lol
ㄴ (Author) Chris’s Raid Party bus party has screenshot and video disabled through in-game functions. You can’t record when entering the dungeon without the party leader’s permission. You can watch the battle though.
ㄴ Can’t you take videos or screenshots using external programs?
ㄴ It’s possible, but do you guys know what Chris’s father does? He’s quite famous? He might track your IP and hack your capsule for real…
ㄴ What… Are they blocking bus tactic video leaks? That’s a bit annoying? Chris’s Raid Party lost the first clear to the No Name party anyway, right?
ㄴ No Name! No Name!

-Usually PVP uncles ride a lot, so gallery guys with regular parties don’t have many occasions to ride that bus. But why did they set screenshot prohibition?
ㄴ I rode once to learn some tactics, and I think I know why they set screenshot prohibition. There’s an Orc Warrior costume owner there; A kid with white hair and small body customization
ㄴ (Author) Yeah, there’s that cute Swordsman girl, she’s the tank
ㄴ What? Death wasn’t the tank? Why are they running with her?
ㄴ Idk? But she’s really good. I’m a Swordsman too so I tried to watch and learn, but forget about her movements, even her skills are strange? It seems different from what I use, from damage to judgment. I can tell what skills she’s using but I just can’t copy it. She’s rotating several skills at once in the blink of an eye. I wonder if it would be possible similarly if it were a PC classic game using key macros.
ㄴ (Author) She runs buses wearing super cute outfits;;; Seems they set screenshot prohibition because some people might go crazy
ㄴ Yeah, to get permission for screenshots you need to persuade her, not Chris. But do you guys have money to ride the bus? Because it’s early in the dungeon, bus fees are expensive. It’s for CEOs only lololol
ㄴ Wow… Wow… lololol I’m going to make money from today to ride Chris’s bus
ㄴ Uoooooh lololol I’m going too
ㄴ Not human…
ㄴ These bastards should be arrested

“So Cherni … and Bae Merong unnie thwack! Kicked his shin.”
“Poor Cherni ahjussi.” (tl/n: uncle; refers to an older man, typically someone in his 40s or older, who is no longer considered young but isn’t quite elderly either.)
“Huhu, Bae Merong is unnie and … is ahjussi? They’re the same age, why don’t you call him oppa?”
“Hehe…”
If they’re both first-year university students, they’d be similar in age to ‘Lee Seulbi’.
Putting aside the aversion to the word ‘oppa’, if it were that world, I probably wouldn’t have called Bae Merong unnie either.
In this reality, I don’t feel much like an adult. The Lee Seulbi from that world might think differently.
Although we share memories, ‘she’ and I are clearly different beings.
But these days, I really hate that her body condition affects me too.
If I make money and go to the hospital, and improve the living environment, I might not have to worry as much.
Anyway, Rain exists only if Lee Seulbi exists.
But, the unnies’ voices sound like they’re cutting off a bit.
“…Haha! How about it, with me participating in DPS, we can run faster, right?”
“Aha, so you have an existing party.”
“These days … doesn’t match, so I’m inevitably riding this bus.”
Warriors are often played by uncles, but today’s customer was a young man Warrior.
Among bus customers, there were those who provided DPS support like this without interfering with the clear. Until the outpost, it was almost all uncle PVP users, but these days as we run fortress buses, we often see young customers too.
There were customers who asked to add me as a friend, or tried to give me sweet desserts bought at the capital cafe. Chris cut off such customers.
We arrived in front of the 2nd named while chatting.
Today’s customer, the young Warrior, seemed somehow overflowing with enthusiasm.
“Oh, Balgar! I think I can show you something good!”
The battle started, and Balgar’s rough attacks began pouring towards me.
But now the 3-person party’s firepower is quite powerful. Moreover, the Warrior customer is providing DPS support too. Balgar’s HP soon reached the 95% point.
Kiiiing!
As the first sawtooth started moving and was lured towards Balgar for bleeding stacks, the movement of the Warrior customer swinging his axe suddenly changed.
“Uooooh!”
Thud, boom!
He strongly body slammed Balgar and struck the ground hard with his axe.
Balgar’s movement stopped momentarily.
It’s the Warrior’s status effect, stun skill.
Boom!
The Warrior put his body against the sawtooth and started ‘competing in strength’ with Balgar.
“Haaaap!”
Grrrr!
Thwack thwack thwack thwack!
The Warrior shouted and strongly pushed Balgar’s huge body.
As the Warrior pushed Balgar’s body in the direction of the sawtooth’s path, wounds instantly piled up on Balgar’s body as he was repeatedly scratched by the sawtooth.
“Wow, I heard Warriors could do something like that, but it’s my first time seeing it directly.”
“He built up an enormous amount of bleeding stacks at once!”
Chris and Bae Merong exclaimed in admiration.
The Warrior repeated the same action once more when the sawtooth came around again. Balgar’s HP started decreasing at a drastically fast rate. He built up an incredible bleeding stack with just one sawtooth.
The Warrior customer, who was hit by the sawtooth along with Balgar and accumulated a full bleeding stack, soon exhausted his HP and collapsed. But Balgar was already in a terrible state.
Thanks to the Warrior customer, I didn’t even need to lure additional sawtooths.
Kuoooong-!
Not long after, Balgar collapsed, and the revived Warrior customer returned to the battle area with his shoulders full of strength.
“Oh.”
Clap clap clap.
I applauded the Warrior customer. He laughed heartily and raised his axe.
I thought Warriors were only strong in PVP, but they can contribute to dungeons like this too.
On the way to the 3rd named, Chris and I were leading, carefully avoiding cocoons and advancing.
We had to be more careful here. The cocoons in the 3rd named tower section are much larger and denser than other sections.
If we touch the cocoons, incomparably stronger ones than the 1st named’s baby anglerfishes will pop out.
The Warrior customer is following behind with Bae Merong.
The Warrior customer’s mood looked dangerously good.
“Uhaha! Like this, … if you use consecutively, you can inflict status effects even on named bosses!”
Whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of lightly spinning an axe was heard from behind. Bae Merong seemed to be agreeing with the customer.
Chris slightly turned her head to check behind.
“Still, please be careful here. Because it’s a gimmick monster, … we need to proceed safely.”
“Even if they all wake up, I think our party can take them down? Uooooh!”
Thud.
I turned my head.
The Warrior customer raised his axe and rolled his foot greatly.
“Lerooooooy! Jeeeenkins!”
His body, shouting his own nickname, instantly soared into the air.
And then plunged into the center where eggs and cocoons were densely packed.
Screech, screech, screech, screech!
Dozens of chimeras started waking up, centered on that spot.
That wave instantly spread throughout the entire tower.
All the chimeras in this area were waking up.
The Warrior customer who was in a good mood ended up causing an accident.
Chris and Bae Merong shouted something.
The Warrior was receiving concentrated attacks from the chimeras with a very flustered expression. Despite his axe swinging strongly, the chimeras didn’t fall easily.
Pitter-patter!
I quickly moved my body and started launching Moonlight Slashes at the chimeras around the Warrior.
Thwack thwack thwack!
Their defense is beyond imagination. They’re monsters designed to be avoided in the first place due to the gimmick. There’s no way we can take them down in a short time.
The four of us who had gathered at some point were busy blocking the concentrated attacks of the chimeras.
A wave of chimeras rushed in like a flood.
Chris gestured and pointed towards the stairs to the upper floor. The path towards there was also full of chimeras.
Dozens? Over a hundred? We absolutely can’t break through. The distance to the stairs still looked over 20 meters.
It seemed better to wipe out and start again from the entrance.
But.
Let’s go alone first. I don’t want to hurt.
If I use Flash Strike and backward evasion in combination, I can go to the upper floor alone.
Flinch.
My hand trembled.
Go alone? Abandoning companions?
I shook my head.
I felt an instinctive aversion.
I started advancing, disregarding the chimeras’ attacks.
It seemed like Chris was shouting something from behind.
The chimeras swarmed in like bees and tore at my body.
Legs, shoulders, sides.
Large and small chimeras sank their teeth into various parts of my body.
“…!”
My eyes widened at the terrible pain, and my whole body trembled.
An intense pain of my body being torn apart, to the extent that it would be better to die quickly, engulfed me.
In the pain piercing my head, in the sensation of my body rapidly dying.
I caught a sensation I had felt sometime before.
With the current sensation, I should definitely be able to use ‘that’.
Swish.
I took the stance for Flash Strike.
The technique used by the hero of the past that I saw on the top floor of the Tower of Training.
Ignoring the chimera’s teeth clinging to my legs and gnawing at my bones, I firmly planted my legs on the ground.
A sensation as if unprecedented energy was flowing.
That energy started from the tips of my toes, traveled through my legs and waist, then along my shoulders to the tips of my fingers.
Strong power condensed throughout my body and.
The moment I strongly planted my foot.
Flash!
Boom boom boom boom boom!
My body shot out like lightning.
A powerful storm of mana raged as if following me.
The bodies of the tough and strong 3rd area chimeras were helplessly cut and torn apart in front of that absolute storm.
Thud thud thud thud.
A rain of flesh pieces fell, forming a straight path leading to the stairs of the upper floor.
Lee Seulbi’s body was sending danger signals.
Just endure a little more.
I’ll let you rest after we finish this run.
I turned around, covered in blood.
And, I smiled at my companions.
“I opened… the path.”
