A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 27

[Tagirion Raid. Inquisition Envoy]

[Oh, how foolish and pitiful these humans are, coming again….]

As I passed through the empty flowerbed and reached the “Room of Pain,” ‘Tagirion’ appeared, sprawling its great wings behind it.

[Fall into corruption, you lowly creatures!]

And thus, the first pattern marking the start of the raid echoed out.

Kuwung!

The sound was thunderous, stirring up a huge cloud of sand dust.

As the sand dust cleared, two knights emerged.

The two knights clad in black armor held great swords and took a stance.

Immediately, the two sub-tankers positioned themselves in front of the knights, while the main tanker stood before Tagirion.

And the fight was signaled by a shout from the rear—the sorcerer.

“Haah!”

Kwajijijik!

Lightning erupted from the tip of the staff, striking Tagirion’s shoulder in a flash.

[Kyahahahaha!]

Then Tagirion retaliated with a deafening laugh, its arms flailing, while the black knights swung their great swords.

“Ugh!”

The tankers who stood in front took the brunt of their attacks with resolve.

“…Let’s go!”

With a shout from the center, the dealers began to move as well.

The first pattern of the Tagirion Raid involved the demon Tagirion summoning two black knights to collaborate in attacking together.

Thus, the main tanker stood in front of Tagirion, and the two sub-tankers stood in front of the black knights to block the combined assault.

Simply by doing that, this pattern became significantly simpler.

─I’m already feeling uneasy, lol.

─Not a paladin, so the tankers’ HP is holding up well.

But as I glanced aside, the chat window was still buzzing with worry.

The tankers’ HP was barely over 20%, so what was the big deal?

Swallowing those thoughts, I quietly set my feet in motion.

Kuwung!

And when the main tanker had firmly caught Tagirion’s attention, I moved precisely behind it and struck down at its head.

Thanks to that precise blow to its weak point, Tagirion’s HP diminished considerably.

“What are you doing?!”

A startled voice rang out from the center.

It was Truittu, the lost little lamb who had protested to me earlier.

─What the heck is this kid doing???

─Lol, what a troll.

─I’ll kick out anyone who pulls this in my party, haha.

And thus, the chat began to slander me as a troll.

“Everyone.”

─Main tanker is crying, lol.

─Is this idiot the party leader???

─How can you kick out someone when the leader is like that?

─Having a martial artist as a main tanker is absurd, haha.

“…No. Just watch.”

There was no need to answer that Truittu.

─You mean to watch the raid implode?

─Can you even report someone like this troll?

─Believe it or not, you can, lol.

─Let’s report! Let’s report!

“Haah….”

It’s because of people like this that discussions arise about the need for heretics in the raid.

Didn’t I say at the start?

If everyone just does their part, we can clear it easily.

So, isn’t it natural that I’m doing what I need to be doing right now?

Why don’t they understand?

With such melancholia, I continued to do my part.

Tagirion’s aggro shifted from the main tanker, the martial artist, to me, and naturally, attacks came pouring down on me.

While dodging those attacks, the familiar nickname of the martial artist moved without a care, unleashing every attack it could on Tagirion.

“No, what… what’s going on…?”

“Truittu! Focus and deal damage!”

“No, not from there?!”

“I said deal damage!”

It was the spear master, Sea, who interrupted Truittu’s hollow voice.

In the end, Truittu gritted his teeth and started attacking the black knight in front of him.

I should really thank him later.

Thus, trading off attacks on Tagirion with the martial artist, the HP of the two black knights reached zero.

With the sound of wind swirling, the two knights crumbled to the ground.

[Do you lowly beings dare to insult me?!]

Then Tagirion announced the second pattern.

No, to be exact, it shouted the signal for the third pattern.

─?

─What’s happening???

─What the hell, lol.

─Is this a bug?

Hmm. I wanted to skip ahead from here, but it’s a bit disappointing.

If only that sorcerer wasn’t interfering with the chat.

That sorcerer, who could turn heretic at any moment, should be remembered.

★

“Thank you so much. Good job today.”

[Inquisition Officer: Goodbye.]

[Inquisition Officer: And thank you for earlier.]

“Huh? …Ah, if you’re talking about Truittu, there’s no need to thank me. I’m the one who should be grateful for the comfortable raids.”

[Inquisition Officer: Nonetheless, thank you. Goodbye.]

“Yes~.”

After the raid concluded, we wrapped up the item auction, and our party disbanded.

And the chat was.

─Is Rene a goddess? Is Rene a goddess? Is Rene a goddess?

─No, seriously, what happened? If you don’t tell me how, I might just poop myself.

─Tagirion cut down in 15 minutes, what the heck, lol.

─Normally, doesn’t it take about 30 minutes for Tagirion?

─Anyone who doubted Goddess Rene should eat dirt.

─For real, lol.

They were praising me.

“I told you, didn’t I? Heretics aren’t needed…”

─For real, these so-called priests or paladins are just unnecessary, haha.

─Speaks truth) Honestly, having priests and paladins fumbling around in Tagirion was just a pain.

─So, how did it actually happen?

“Um, well….”

Here’s the turning point.

During PVP broadcasts and review broadcasts, my explanations had all engraved a negative image in the viewers’ minds until now.

I did my best to explain, but seeing those reactions was a bit disheartening.

So now is the opportunity.

I’ll explain perfectly here and wash away that bad image.

“So, what I do is manage Tagirion’s aggro…. When I hit it, it draws aggro? And when the tanker hits it again, aggro shifts back, right? We can use that to whittle down its HP…. But you can’t do it with just heretics…. They just can’t do a bam! and have it go poof!”

─Wow, really?

─Duh, of course, aggro bounces when a dealer hits.

─Wow! Bam! then poof! That’s some useful info!

─That lame sound effect, for real.

─Someone, please translate this later and post it, lol.

Hmm. Looks like that didn’t work out.

Honestly, if you think about it for just a second, it’s pretty simple.

The company behind New Dimension values ‘freedom’ above all.

But to clear raids, is it really necessary to have specific jobs?

That doesn’t make sense.

Why doesn’t everyone get that?

“Well, anyway, you all admit that heretics aren’t needed, right?…”

─Just explain properly, damn it.

That’s too harsh.

(Trailer of Inquisition Officer Tagirion Raid)



Isn’t the average time for Tagirion 30 minutes?



How did this party finish in 15?



【Recommendation: 2 / Disrecommendation: 1】



ㅇㅇ: ?? Is that even possible?



└NewDimensionGal1: I came here to ask because I didn’t know either.



└ㅇㅇ: Even if you gear up, it should still take at least 20 minutes.



Odooroi: Haha, finally the talk has come up.



└NewDimensionGal1: Did you know already?

└Odooroi: Probably everyone who parties with him knows.

└Odooroi: Honestly, I try to party with him on purpose, always so fast.

└Odooroi: But even I don’t quite know why it’s so fast.

NewDimensionGal2: Quite a few probably know, but those who want in the party are keeping quiet.

└NewDimensionGal2: Plus, there are quite a few who dislike him.

└NewDimensionGal1: I see.

└NewDimensionGal2: But why it works, I bet most don’t know.

└NewDimensionGal2: Everyone is busy with their own stuff.

(Trailer of Inquisition Officer Tagirion Raid)

The reason you need to take down the knights before hitting Tagirion in the first pattern is because if the dealers grab aggro from Tagirion, the formation falls apart. Conversely, if the formation doesn’t crumble, it doesn’t really matter how often you hit Tagirion.

So what he does is have everyone hit the knights while he and the main tanker keep shifting aggro back and forth.

And as they deal damage, it seems the pattern skips proportionately as the knights are taken down.

After that, they continue to swap aggro back and forth while dealing damage.

【Recommendation: 56 / Disrecommendation: 3】

Odooroi: Ah, so that’s why he said priests and paladins aren’t needed.

└NewDimensionGal1: What does that have to do with anything?

└Odooroi: In the case of paladins, their damage is so weak that once he pulls aggro, it won’t return to normal. Then they end up taking damage while dodging.

└Odooroi: That’s why unnecessary paladins aren’t needed.

└Odooroi: And since he’s confident he can manage aggro, there’s no real risk of tankers dying, so priests aren’t really necessary either.

└Odooroi: Just having alchemists or bards is enough.

└Posted by: ㅇㅇ: That seems about right?

└NewDimensionGal1: For real.

Artesu: That’s rough, lol.

【Title: Don’t you guys try to follow this, lol】

(Trailer of Tagirion raid wipe.webp)

As soon as the guild master saw that, he said let’s give it a try, and we ended up wiping in the first pattern.

Managing aggro and dodging all attacks is seriously hard, what the heck, lol.

How did that Inquisition Officer manage it?

【Recommendation: 35 / Disrecommendation: 1】

ㅇㅇ: Didn’t the Tagirion pattern itself assume you matched up based on the conditions?

└ㅇㅇ: That’s why it was essential to have a paladin and a priest.

└Christ: We just wanted to try because a method emerged to shorten the time needed.

ㅇㅇ: It looked so easy from the video, but trying it out is a whole different story.

└Christ: For real, lol.

Atarak: Seriously, how the heck did he do that with a warhammer and full body armor?

└Christ: I’d have liked to know, haha.

└Christ: Our dealers used daggers and light armor but ended up getting hit midway, causing us to retire, lol.

NewDimensionGal1: Great Demon Rene.

└ㅇㅇ: Stream watchers should just leave, damn it.

ㅇㅇ: It looks simple, but if no one has tried it, there’s usually a reason…
