Debuff Master

[Queen of Pain Ingrid]

[The daughter of the Nordic King, Lionbreath, and the strongest warrior of the Nordic Tribe.]

[She is extremely obsessed with the King of Proatine, Siegfried van Proa.]

[She has been brainwashed by the Church of Osric and has been reborn as the Queen of Pain.]

[Type: NPC]

[Race: Human]

[Affiliation: Church of Osric]

[Position: Four Heavenly Kings]

[Class: Mad Sadist]

[Level: 300]

[Note: She becomes empowered the more pain she afflicts on her enemies. Caution is advised against her.]

Ingrid had become completely different compared to before. She was wearing black tight-fitting clothes that showed off her cleavage, boots with sharp fronts that could poke a hole in anything she kicked, and the hat she was wearing made her look like a police officer for some reason.

However, that was not the end of it.

Her weapon was now a black whip that looked a bit kinky rather than a sword, and she had become a Master after reaching Level 300.

In other words, the Church of Osric had turned Ingrid into someone else.

I-Ingrid? Siegfried called out to her.

However, the response he received was not what he was expecting.

Who are you to so casually utter my royal name, peasant?

R-Royal name?

Address me as Your Majesty the Queen from now on, got it?

Oh, hohoho! Ingrid covered her mouth and laughed. Ingrid seemed to have gone crazy after getting brainwashed by the Church of Osric. The fact that she did not recognize Siegfried alone was already proof that she was not in her right mind.

The man standing beside Ingrid asked, Do you know him?

[King of Pleasure Billiam]

[One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Church of Osric.]

[He is a pervert and has volunteered to serve the Church of Osric. He enjoys being in pain.]

[However, he is extremely powerful, and he is not to be looked down on simply due to his perversity.]

[Type: NPC]

[Race: Human]

[Affiliation: Church of Osric]

[Position: Four Heavenly Kings]

[Class: Mad Masochist]

[Level: 300]

[Note: He becomes stronger the more pain he is in.]

King of Pleasure Billiam was a large, muscular man wearing only leather underwear, and his face was more than enough to make anyone grimace and turn away in absolute disgust.

However, his level was a whopping Level 300, just like Ingrid, and he was definitely a Master as well.

Do I look like someone who would bother befriending a peasant? Ingrid replied curtly with a hint of disgust.

Ah, I see You have no recollection of your memories from before you became the Queen of Pain, right? But I think that guy knows you?

Who cares? Ingrid replied with a shrug. She seemed to have no lingering attachments to her previous memories.

Well, it was understandable, as she was currently brainwashed.

I think we will have to fight them, Beowulf said.

I will handle that woman, Siegfried pointed at Ingrid and replied.

Beowulf nodded then said, I understand. Then, I will handle that man.

They decided that Siegfried would face Ingrid while Beowulf would face Billiam.

Hohoho!

Kekekeke!

Then, Ingrid and Billiams subordinates, who were dressed exactly like them, appeared and surrounded Siegfried and Beowulfs parties. They were the direct subordinates under Ingrid and Billiam, and they were named Pleasure Gang Member and Pain Gang Member respectively.

Siegfried gripped his +13 Horse Fly and said, I guess this is for the better since I dont have to run around looking for her

Ingrid stood still and inspected Siegfried from head to toe. Then, she said, You I dont like you.

Huh?

I really dont like you for some reason.

Haha

You deserve to be in pain! Ingrid shrieked out.

Wooong!

She unleashed a shockwave that swept across Siegfried and the others.

Aaaaack!

Aah Gaaah!

Aaaaah!

Aaack!

Gwuu Aaaah!

The party members screamed and writhed in agony the moment the shockwave swept across them.

***

Ingrid's shockwave attack was extremely powerful.

How much damage did it deal?

Zero!

The skill she used was called Wave of Pain, and it was a skill that dealt zero damage. However, the Wave of Pain had a unique effect to it, which dealt unimaginable pain to every enemy it swept across.

J-Just kill me!

Aaaaaack!

S-Stoooop! Please! Stooooop!

The party members screamed in agony and begged for the pain to stop.

K-Kuheok!

In fact, some of them even foamed from their mouths and started convulsing as their eyes rolled all the way back.

O-Owner puuunk! H-Hamchi is in pain! Kyuuuu! Kyuuuu!

Shockingly, even Hamchi clung to the hem of Siegfrieds pants and writhed in agony.

However, there was nothing he could do to help, as he was in pain, too.

Heok! Siegfried gasped after feeling every single one of the cells in his body getting pricked by a needle.

If he were to describe it in words, then it felt as if a swarm of fire ants were biting every inch of his body. He could understand why the others were writhing and convulsing in pain, even though the Wave of Pain did not deal a single damage.

Ingrids skill was an extremely effective area of effect crowd control skill that could incapacitate an entire army with ease.

However, that was not the end of it.

[Pain Is My Strength: 47 Stacks (Stats will receive 0.5% buff per stack)]

Ingrid would obtain a stack of Pain Is My Strength per enemy hit by her Wave of Pain, which meant she had a whopping 23.5% stat bonus. In other words, the Wave of Pain was not only a very effective area of effect crowd control skill, but it was also a buff skill that would give her a huge buff the more enemies she was facing.

Ooh ho ho ho! Ingrid let loose a shrill laughter while covering her mouth with the back of her hand.

Chwak! Chwak!

Then, Ingrid cracked her whip before unleashing it toward Siegfried.

Im dead if I get hit by that! Siegfried instinctively knew his ultimate fate if he got hit by the weapon called Queen of Pains Steel Whip. He hurriedly transformed his +13 Horse Fly into a shield and blocked the attack.

The sound of metal clashing against metal echoed in the air as Siegfried was shoved backward a few meters away.

Why arent you in pain? Are you trying to withstand the pain Im giving you? Ingrid asked.

H-Huh? Siegfried looked dumbfounded by the question. Then, he replied, No? It hurts, you know?

It hurts?

Yes.

Liar! You dont look like youre in pain! Ingrid screamed.

R-Really? Im in a lot of pain right now, though? It's pricklish! Siegfried replied honestly.

However, there was one thing Siegfried was not aware of, and that was the fact that Siegfried van Proa had MAX resistance to pain.

The top-ranking Adventurer, Beowulf, couldn't exert his full power right now as his character movement was in agonizing pain, restricting his movements.

Siegfried had experienced extreme pain when Deus reformed his fleshly body, so he didn't really get affected by the Wave of Pain.

Well, he did gasp after getting hit by the wave, but he slowly got used to the pain until it reached a point where it was only prickling and ticklish.

Ingrid glared at him and growled, I dont like you at all Ill make sure to watch you scream in agony when Im done with you!

Hey, thats a bit

Ill make you beg for death! Ingrid screamed as she unleashed another Wave of Pain.

Wooong!

The Wave of Pain swept across the party members once again.

AAAAAACK!

Uwaaah!

Kuheok!

The party members writhed and convulsed in agony once again, but

Oof! Siegfried gasped once and flinched, but he did not show any signs of being in pain.

You What the hell are you? Why are you not in pain? Ingrid looked at him in disbelief and asked.

I Im not sure? Siegfried replied, sounding a bit unsure himself. He had no idea how he was supposed to respond to the question, as he himself was not sure why he was not writhing in agony like the others.

Ingrid narrowed her eyes and inspected him from head to toe. Then, her eyes were filled with disdain as she pointed at him and said, Youre a pervert! Arent you?!

What?!

You like being in pain!

N-No, I dont!

Disgusting

!

The fact that you enjoy this level of pain can only mean that youre an unimaginably perverted person!

Im not! Siegfried retorted.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Kyu! I-Is that your secret, owner punk?!

Elder Brother Argh! I I had no idea your fetish was Aaack!

So your titles were speaking the truth about you, Siegfried-nim!

Ingrids accusation caused a huge misunderstanding, but she paid no heed to the others. Instead, she had a resolute look that showed she accepted his challenge as she tightly gripped her whip.

Fine, lets see how much pain you can bear, you disgusting pervert.

H-Hey, I already told you Im not a pervert

Silence! Ingrid lashed out. Then, she unleashed another Wave of Pain, which was immediately followed by her whip.

***

Siegfried unintentionally caused more harm to his comrades.

How about this?! Are you still not in pain?!

Y-Yeah That hurt a lot!

Lies! Kyaaaaah! Ingrid lashed out in anger. She unleashed an even more powerful Wave of Pain and swung her whip like crazy at him.

Unfortunately, the Wave of Pain failed to cause any pain to its intended target, Siegfried, and only caused greater agony for the innocent bystanders. Siegfrieds comrades experienced a short trip to hell whenever the Queen of Pain unleashed her wave.

Ack! Aaaack! P-Please! Stop!

Aaaargh!

E-Enouuuugh! No more! I cant take it!

Siegfrieds tolerance to pain only caused more agony to his comrades, and this made the battle even more disadvantageous to them. In fact, Beowulf was currently slowed due to the Wave of Pain, and he was suffering against his opponent.

The King of Pleasure, Billiam, was a Level 300 Master, and he was not an easy opponent at all.

Beowulf already had his hands full fighting against the King of Pleasure, but he also had to run around protecting his comrades incapacitated by the Wave of Pain.

I need to do something Siegfried thought. He knew the only thing awaiting them was defeat if this continued longer.

Also, he felt slightly responsible for his comrades writhing in agony right now, and that made him feel like he should really do something.

Then, he shouted, Beowulf-nim! Ill take the hit!

Huh?

One minute! Please wrap it up within a minute! Siegfried shouted and ran straight for Ingrid without waiting to hear Beowulfs response.

Then, he jumped up in the air and slammed his +13 Horse Fly the moment he landed.

Baaaam!

The ground cracked the moment the +13 Horse Fly connected with it.

Fwaaaaaah! fre(e)webnov(l).com

A ring of fire formed around him and Ingrid before pillars of flames shot up from it.

C-Craaack! Crack!

Then, the pillars of flames solidified to form a barrier around them that resembled a coliseum that trapped Siegfried and Ingrid in it.

It was the Debuff Masters skill that formed a barrier where only he and his enemy could enterthe Grand Duel.

What is this? Are you confining me? Ingrid asked in disbelief.

Yeah, Siegfried replied with a nod.

Ha! Do you really think a peasant like you can win against me?

Nope.

Siegfried did not forget the fact Ingrid was still a whopping Level 300, but that was not important right now. His main focus was surviving until he achieved his objective, and that objective was

Ack!

Kyaaah!

M-My Queen! Where are you?!

The sounds of the Pleasure Gang Members and Pain Gang Members screaming from outside the Barrier of Victory echoed.

Dont tell me! Ingrid muttered in disbelief.

Then, she grimaced the moment she realized Siegfried's goal.

Siegfried used the Grand Duel to separate Ingrid from the others and escape the incapacitating effects of Wave of Pain, and the effectiveness of his plan could immediately be heard from the screams of Ingrids subordinates from outside the barrier.
