Became an Academy Penetrating Spearman

18. First Friend (4)

Even though I was approaching, Half Moon Bear couldn’t completely tear off the vine of tenacity Pamela had put on it.

If you stick a spear into the middle of the forehead like this, you can kill it in one shot.

But what I’m trying to do now is to find out how Pamela’s debuff effect is in practice.

I deliberately stood in front of Half Moon Bear and waited for her vines to be ripped off.

“Shi, Mr. Shihan? Why are you being silent?”

Pamela asked in surprise from behind.

“For the test.”

“A poem, a test?”

“Don’t worry, it’s to know how effective your skills are in real combat. If you’re an opponent like this, you can take a little more time. Rather, be wary of enemies coming around you, Pamela.”

“Yes, yes!”

-Kooooo!

Just as I was about to finish my words for Pamela, Half Moon Bear tore off all of her vines and swung her paws at me.

Once, twice, three times, four times.

Avoid the continuous swinging of Half Moon Bear and first learn the sense of speed.

Mastery of spearmanship not only makes the trajectory visible, but the moment you hold the spear, it enables you to move like a master who has reached the pinnacle of spearmanship.

To be precise, it would be to reproduce the movements of a person who has reached the pinnacle of creativity based on my current stats.

Anyway, I was able to avoid Half Moon Bear’s attack with ease.

And when about 15 seconds passed.

Half Moon Bear’s attack speed has been increased.

There’s no way that Half Moon Bear received a buff, so the speed it changed now is the speed it had before taking the debuff.

‘Speed… Even if you cut the vine, it still works.’

15 Seconds is a very useful time in battle.

“Pamela!”

“Yes, yes! Shi, Mr. Shihan!”

“Use the vine of tenacity one more time!”

“Gee, the vine of tenacity!”

Again, vines rose from under Half Moon Bear’s feet and entangled itself.

-Kooooo!

Half Moon Bear struggled to reach the vine again and try to cut it off.

Aiming for that moment, I threw a spear at Half Moon Bear’s left arm.

Enough to not pierce with moderate force.

Fuwook!

Remembering the taste of the stabbing, he said to Pamela as he fell back.

“Please take care of the crushing nails!”

“Da, nail to crush!”

A nail of crushing flew in and hit Half Moon Bear, which had not yet broken its vine.

Fufufufu!

It cannot penetrate through, but several crushing nails are driven into the skin of the Half Moon Bear.

‘Then, let’s see how the defense reduction debuff tastes.’

With the power I just stabbed, I slashed the spear into Half Moon Bear’s right arm.

Fuwook!

-Kooooo!

As the nail and the spear were stabbed, the Half Moon Bear roared even more furiously.

But rather than that roar, I raised my mouth at the taste of my hand.

‘Okay. It’s working well.’

It must have been a stab of the same power, but the spear penetrated the leather more smoothly and went deeper.

“Pamela! It’s the nail in the crusher once again!”

“Da, nail to crush!”

Again, just in time for the crushing nails to hit Halfmoon Bear, I slashed the spear at my arm, which was still unscathed.

The feeling of penetrating through the softer leather than before.

‘It overlaps.’

Tenacity vines last 15 seconds in the game.

It was the same here.

And the duration of Pamela’s Crushing Nail is 20 seconds.

Since the sword of loss is said to be able to be used 6 times in a row, the crushing nail must be similar.

There was a cooldown in the game, and the debuff effect of one skill did not overlap in the first place.

Even if you use it within the time limit, it just increases the effect time.

However, in this world, it overlaps, so if you use Crushing Nails consecutively within 20 seconds, you can get explosive damage in a short time.

‘I’m looking forward to it.’

In the case of Half Moon Bear, there is no need to apply overlapping debuffs, but I was already looking forward to how quickly I could defeat field boss monsters or boss mobs in the main story or event story.

Most of all, the boss was the target, and the fact that the debuffs overlapped was like finding a hope to break it.

‘If it becomes a debuff, the buff might overlap.’

Buffs used by different characters naturally overlap, but if a skill buff used by one character also overlaps.

With the addition of debuff stacking and buff stacking, you will be able to pull out an incredible amount of damage.

As a user, the desire to quickly gather a party and test Dilpon comes up.

‘Pamela must be a bit tired too.’

Pamela can cast her spell 6 times in a row.

But since she’s already used number 4, she’ll need a rest so that she can use her next spell without struggling.

‘The first thing I want to check is over.’

This Half Moon Bear has nothing to do.

Selecting one of the countless trajectories, he slashed his spear at the Half Moon Bear’s neck.

[You have penetrated Half Moon Bear.]

He neatly pulled back the spear that had pierced Half Moon Bear’s neck and backed away.

Half Moon Bear fell forward and did not move.

I turned around and approached Pamela.

“Sir, Shihan. Great, great! You dodged the monster’s attack so easily… You finished it all in one go.”

“Thanks to your magic, I was able to catch it more easily.”

“Ah, ah, no! My, the magic I used isn’t that great. Even without my magic, Shihan-san would have been able to catch it by himself. I hit it several times, but in the end, my magic was a monster. It didn’t work well… In the end, Shihan was the one who finished it off. As expected, if someone like me used the magic Master taught me, it ended up being a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck. I’m sorry, Master…”

Again, Pamela entered negative thinking.

Of course, Pamela ignores the second half of what she says.

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Ah…”

Pamela opened her mouth and put on a look of despair.

“That’s right… For someone like me, using Master’s magic was just too much. Ha, hahahaha, hahahaha…. Shihan-san also thought that a wizard like me was useless. Useless magic Sarah, I’m sorry. You don’t like being friends, do you? In the end, I’m Song Chung-yi or less…”

I spit out my words as if I were cutting off Pamela’s words.

“The subject of your magic is to weaken the enemy. It’s only natural that the power doesn’t come out that way.”

“Yes, yes?”

“But you were really good at weakening. You wouldn’t have noticed much of a difference. But when I did, your magic was really amazing.”

“God, are you amazing? My, my magic?”

“Yes.”

He explained how he felt the difference between sticking a spear when debuff magic was applied to Pamela, and how attacks were more easily entered when debuff magic overlapped.

“Ah, then, didn’t the reason why you kept using the crushing nail mean that I, I was told to put an end to it?”

“Yes. I wanted to know if the effect of your magic, which weakens the opponent, becomes stronger if used consecutively.”

“Yeah, that’s what it was.”

“Pamela.”

Pamela said again, placing her hand on her shoulder.

“Your magic is amazing. Depending on the application, it has potential that cannot be replaced by other magicians.”

“Everything, compared to other wizards, is it impossible to replace?”

“Yes. Besides, as I already said, it’s magic that’s compatible with me. You’re the best witch for me, Pamela.”

“Choi, the best witch…! Heh, hehehe, hehehehe…”

She smiled as if Pamela’s face, which had fallen into despair a moment before, would melt.

“Pamela.”

“Yes. hehehehe, what is it, Mr. Shihan?”

“How much rest do you need?”

“Phew, a break?”

“Since I used magic continuously, how long do I have to rest?”

“Ah… Uh, uh… Just rest a bit.”

“I see. Then rest. I dig magic stones.”

“Oh! I’ll help you too!”

Pamela followed me to the body of Half Moon Bear.

“You have to turn it over first.”

“I-I’ll lift my paw.”

“No, I do this alone. You rest.”

“That, that, but…!”

“A wizard who has been active enough… No, witches have the right to rest. Leave this hard work to me, the vanguard.”

“Wow, active witch…! Heh, hehehe, hehehe…”

She has never been praised by anyone except her teacher, so Pamela, who is very weak at her praise, let out a laugh as her mouth melted again.

Meanwhile, I overturned the Half Moon Bear.

‘It was a bit heavy.’

It’s easy to deal with, but it’s big, so it took a little effort to turn it over.

After acquiring the skill, I need to invest more in strength.

‘Because I’ll have to take out the manastones of bigger and heavier monsters after all.’

He held the spear short, shoved it into his chest, and swung it from side to side.

After repeating it a few times, if it feels hard and bumpy when you stir it, that’s where the magic stone is.

This is a trick I found on my own when digging Stone Orc’s magic stone.

Once you find the location, immediately stab it in a circle around the location of the magic stone.

I removed the part with the magic stone, separated the magic stone, and put it in my inventory, and kept the remaining corpse in my inventory to hand over to Sasha later.

“Pamela, is it possible to recover mana while walking?”

“Oh, yes! Ha, I can.”

“Then let’s move on. We’re going to catch at least five more. What’s your opinion, Pamela?”

“That’s right.”

After getting Pamela’s consent, we roamed the mountains again to find another Half Moon Bear.

And around the time I caught the 5th Half Moon Bear.

“Poem, poetry, Mr. Shihan, uh, over there… Over there…!”

“That’s…”

Unlike other Half Moon Bears, Half Moon Bear has a red half moon pattern on its belly.

I discovered Red Half Moon Bear, the bandit executive position of Half Moon Bear.

‘I’m lucky’

Monsters that make more money.

A monster appeared that might give you extra points if you didn’t know.
