Versatile: Alternate World

125 The Battle Inside the Royal Palace

I almost choked when I read the penalty if I failed. That is an insane penalty and that applies to my quests line only! Not only that, the reputation of the Queen that I just earned will also disappear and will be negative, which is already akin to a hostile relationship with her!

Also, as someone who has experienced fighting against her, she is one hell of an annoying enemy. She can keep her distance from you and still keep you busy throughout the fight like nothing. Aside from that, her skills are all able to do defense break and deal true damage so if you are someone with high defense and can almost handle usual attacks due to your high defenses, the Queen will just shred it to pieces and beat you up.

And since I am fighting against her and the knights, I have to ask Atlas for some help in this one.

I opened my summoning tab to summon Atlas out, only to see the following message when I try to do so.

[Unavailable during the Quest Duration]

Not only on Atlas but on Leona's summoning page too.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you cannot summon anyone to help you out on this one. If you have pets or companions, they have to sit this battle out."

My chances of winning this battle are now lower since I can't use my summons to deal with the mobs while I focus on Queen Tanya. However, it is not impossible to win this, but it is very hard to achieve. I am on my own in this battle.

Queen Tanya flicks her fingers and a scepter materializes on her hands. Once it completes solidifying, she taps the ground using the staff twice, creating a three-circle magic circle beneath it.

Once she did all of those, countless magic circles appeared on the ground and several types of heavily armed soldiers pop out of nowhere. She waves her wand one more time and observers, eyeball creatures that act as a video camera in this world appeared above us.

"It would be exciting for my people to see what is happening right now right? This will give them some insight on how strong the Pioneer is!"

Ugh, great. I didn't think her attitude to film many things using the Observer will be activated in our fight. If I lose in this battle, not only my friendship with Queen Tanya plummet, the attitude of the NPCs might also change.

"Survive Pioneer and we will lend our aid to the battle!"

Since I can't summon anyone and my necromancy skills are not practical in this place since there are no dead people or monsters to use, I am going to be alone in this battle.

Lancers with shields started charging towards my location and they pointed their spears at me.

"Ice Prison!"

BAM!

Their legs froze allowing me to gain the advantage of it and changed my weapon to a dual gun. They were not frozen completely since they have frozen debuff resistance. They just got frozen in their legs but that is not enough to hold them for long.

Pulling the trigger, bullets rained down on the first lancer's head, only for the HP of the enemy to fell a tiny fraction of it. I am not surprised that they can withstand attacks like that, their armor is quite strong to deal with so they are not something you can just handle.

"[Berserk!]"

I howled as Bloodlust enveloped my body and my vision glowed red due to the berserk status to activate in my body. It might be a good idea to increase my attack using [Berserk] but that doesn't mean it has no downside. My attack might sharply rise but my defense values suffer since the demerit for increasing the damage sharply is sharply decreasing my defense values. In other words, I exchanged my toughness to increase the deadly power of my attacks.

I know this adds to my vulnerability in my situation but that doesn't mean I am helpless already. As someone who already lived through a second life, this is only the beginning.

Once the [Berserk] status activated, I changed my weapon to the Knuckles. Players have yet to learn this combo but Monks and Alchemists work well together in the game. Alchemists are not only capable of pulling enemies, inflicting debuffs to enemies, and crafting potions, they also have the capabilities to inflict buffs and debuffs to an ally.

This specific combo with Alchemist and Monk is something accidentally discovered by a Monk player in the past who was inflicted with Berserk Status by the Alchemist in a PVP.

Alchemist is a good PVP class due to how they can toy their enemies with paralysis, poison, and many other debuffs while being pulled around in random directions due to the Hook and Chain weapon. And believe it or not, the Alchemist is one of the classes that dominate the PVP and the Arena of the game.

The alchemist wanted to lower his defenses sharply so he used Berserk on the monk. But this action backfired as the Berserk Status indeed lower his defenses values but it ramps up the attack values of the monk. And as trivia, Monks has the second-highest attack values on their basic attacks since Berserkers takes the first place. So if you ramp it up like that, think what will happen to the enemy?

The alchemist died in one normal combo due to the attack values that exceeded the HP value of the Alchemist. It ended up the win of the monk.

My class might not be a monk but it is a class that can replicate a class itself once a weapon of that class is equipped. The moment the armored soldier attacks with their spears, I dodged them and created a close distance to the soldier.

Once the distanced closed together and the soldier's attack missed, I took the chance to counter with a punch on the side of the armor followed by a punch on the chest plate. Once the soldier's head closed in, I executed the final move.

"Taste this not-so-serious punch!"

Bang!

The head of the soldier exploded and his body disappeared. I am not worried that an NPC died from that attack. The soldiers I am fighting are just summons of Queen Tanya's power.

I was prepared for the outcome but all I can say is that this attack is just too overkill!

Another warrior started to approach and just like the first knight, I repeated the combo which resulted to the deaths of the knights in just a short time.

Queen Tanya stood up from her throne and grinned.

"It looks like my knights are not enough and can't even handle you. I guess it is time for me to attack?" she grinned and her wand transforms into a big scythe. Now she has revealed her other class which will be released in the future.

The Reaper class, the class that specializes in Harvesting Lives.
