Hellmode ~A Hardcore Gamer Becomes Peerless in Another World with Retro Game Settings~ Chapter 290

The healers of the group started having some problems.

The enemies were huge and their attacks covered a wide range of area.

In the midst of the rainstorm of attacks, the two beastmen lamented that they couldn't keep up with the recovery.

Kiel told them that he would take care of the vanguard, so they only had to heal the rear guards, me and Prince Zew.

The Ten Heroic Beasts had one problem.

They didn't have enough healers in their ranck.

The composition of the 11 beastmen party, including Prince Zew, was: 6 vanguards, 1 Tank, 1 Attack Mage, 2 Supporters, and 1 Healer.

The Heroic Beast of the Recovery Magic Division, was Hui the Goat Beastman.

However, in the muscle-heavy composition of the party, a lone healer was not enough.

Prince Zew, equipped with knuckles, was part of the vanguard.

So I asked Sarah, the cat beastman who I saved from Beebe, who has the Talent of a healer, to join 'Prince Zew and the Ten Heroic Beasts' as a healer.

I believed that if the healer was not good enough, the whole party could get wiped out.

Sara, who was brought in half-forcibly, was in a half-crying state and was desperately continuing to cast Recovery Magic.

The battlefield was extensive, and the rear guards were also being targeted by the enemy, so she couldn't keep up.

Kiel noticed that and decided to give her a limited role.

Kiel said that he would handle the recovery of 6 Heroic Beasts, Kurena and Dogora.

(Kiel has improved a lot.)

I admired Kiel's decision making.

In the S-class dungeon, my friends had changed their Talents and continued to improve their equipment.

While Sophie gained new powers, such as dealing with higher ranked Spirits, it was probably Kiel who had grown the most and awakened to his powers.

Among my friends, Kiel had improved the most in what could be called player skill, or combat prowess.

The Recovery Magic had to go through the process of chanting, activating, and then having an impact. And the higher your intelligence, the faster each of these steps would be.

Each process took about a few seconds.

I had noticed that for a few seconds when the Recovery Magic would be in effect, the target ally would be able to recover from any attacks.

It meant that one could reserve the Recovery Magic for a few seconds beforehand.

If Kiel casted Recovery Magic on me and I got attacked a few seconds later, I would get healed.

So, Kiel could activate his Recovery Magic in advance before I got attacked, which would heal me immediately after I got injured.

That reduced the risk of being seriously wounded if the enemy attacked twice in a row.

If even one member of the party got injured, the pressure on everyone else would increase, but because of that fine, it could be prevented.

Kiel could also move on to healing others, so there was no waste in time and mana.

I had nagged Kiel a lot to have him learn that skill.

After much hard work, Kiel was fully embodying that technique.

"Amazing. Too amazing. How fast. Can you see the future?"

"Just focus on yourself. I don't have enough [Intelligence] or mana to handle you. I can't even handle the rear guard."

When Heroic Beast Hui's voice leaked, Kiel admonished him.

Hui realized immediately how great Kiel's skill was.

There were 3 healers in our group, including Kiel, but Kiel was responsible for more than half of the people.

Kiel had to anticipate how Kurena and Dogora would move in three dimensions because of B-rank Birds, the rampaging Heroic Beasts, and continue to use Recovery Magic in anticipation that they would get attacked in a few seconds.

He also had to keep in mind who had high [Endurance], who had low [Endurance], who often got hit, who could dodge, and who was in the range of his magic.

Since the start of the battle, Kiel had continued to analyze the movements of the beastmen on the front, and his predictions of their movements had reached a point of foresight.

Kiel's skill as a healer had grown to the point that the Ten Heroic Beasts recognized it.

In addition, when I heard that we were facing five enemies at the same time, I knew that we would get hit a lot, so I had everyone equipped with Rings that increased [Strength] and [Endurance].

With the high effectiveness of the Rings and the layered support skills, even the rear guards could withstand one blow.

Kiel normally equipped Rings that increased his [Intelligence] and [Agility], but to be on the safe side, Kiel equipped Rings that increased his [Strength] and [Endurance] as well.

Thanks to that, Kiel lamented that he lacked the [Intelligence] to assess the situation, but he was highly skillful regardless.

I was even more impressed because I had never been a healer in my previous life.

(Well, this is no time to be impressed. It's time for the tides to change. I'm going to do my part.)

The gap between the two Iron Golems was getting wider and wider, thanks to Admiral Galara slowly retreating backwards and taking out the Bronze Golem and the Mithril Golem.

Thanks to Helmios' party nailing the Iron Golem in the tail end.

Helmios' party was, for what it was worth, the most stable.

With Merus there, they were even more stable.

"No, no."

Gordino seemed to understand the situation.

If the battle continued as before, the two Iron Golems wouldn't be able to revive each other.

I knew the exact range of [Repair] because of the hundreds of times I had defeated Iron Golems.

"We're almost there. The enemy won't be able to revive much longer."

"No, I have no choice but to stop this once. We must fall back. Fall back."

Gordino stopped attacking for a moment and decided that they were going to fall back.

"You wish! I don't care how many Mithril Slabs you consume, just push me forward behind Gordino!"

""Oh, wow!""

At that time, I used rank Bird's awakening skill to teleport 1 Gigantic Golem in between the two well-spaced Iron Golems. The Gigantic Golem pushed the second Iron Golem in the back as hard as he could!

Gordino wanted to close the distance between the Iron Golems but that distance got larger instead.

"You! What are you doing? Come back here!"

Gordino was pushed back by the Iron Golem, and the two Iron Golems got far enough for us to succeed.

Gordino wanted to keep the two Iron Golems within each other's [Repair]'s range but failed to do so.

The party led by Helmios and Angel Merus defeated the last Iron Golem.

""We got it.""

"Okay, let's move on. [Homing Instinct].'

Helmios and his party rejoiced in the defeat of the Iron Golem.

Merus moved at once with rank Bird's awakening skill [Homing Instinct], between the other Iron Golem and the Gigantic Golem, which had moved away a long way.

Once we defeated the other Iron Golem, our enemies wouldn't be able to get revived.

The Iron Golem, which desperately kept revivng the Bronze Golem and Mithril Golem while being attacked by the Gigantic Golem, had more attacks concentrated on it.

And a few more minutes of fighting ensued.

The second Iron Golem finally fell.

The Mithril Golem, no longer able to revive, was shot down by the [Convergent Bombardment] of rank Stone, and the Bronze Golem was defeated by Admiral Galara's Gigantic Golem and the general assault of Prince Zew and my party.

"Wooooooooo!"

Helmios' party and Merus held back Gordino while the Bronze Golem was under attack.

(Well, it won't be easy. Gordino is still the strongest after all. Aside from Merus, Helmios' party can't do that much damage either.

I further analyzed Gordino's strength.

As expected of the Dungeon Boss, it seemed to be quite strong.

We were able to quickly overwhelm the Bronze Golem when it lost Gordino's support.

Rat Beastman, Rato, the Heroic Beast in the Attack Magic Division and the one with the Talent of a 'Sorcerer'.

When the Golems' attacks were reduced, Rato and Cecile focused on their attack magic.

"You!""

Gordino, alone and completely outnumbered, was furious.

"Alright, the Bronze Golem is down! Only Gordino remains. We'll take it down now!"

Stomping over the defeated Bronze Golem, Admiral Galara's Gigantic Golem and the beastmen attempted to enter the battle against Gordino.

"You've made me serious. Gather round, my parts!"

_{Visit ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ for a better_user experience}

That's when it happened.

Gordino's eyes lit up and it shouted loudly.

Then, the eyes of the four Golems Allen and his group had defeated so far lit up.
