[Summary of the three new bosses from the currently released Wagal DLC trailer]
1) Count Raikos (Silver Knight Captain)
(The video summarizes 9 patterns of Phase 1)
The patterns might get familiar if you watch them enough, but the movement set seems to be from a tone-deaf addict. (I see the Imperial Palace Swordsmanship in the middle, I’d like the opinions of the pros)
Just before Phase 2, he glows like a hedgehog, which seems to be a one-hit kill pattern.
2) Inquisition Officer Lu Chekanya
(The appearance scene of Phase 1)
Looks like a mid-boss of DLC Chapter 1.
Since she’s a necromancer, the move set is hard to grasp, but she’s strong and cute. (The submission posture is a point!)
3) Desert Janitor Teradux
(The video summarizes 6 patterns of Phase 1)
A demon beast that manipulates gravity magic.
Since she also appears in Kaizen World, it might be easier to search directly.
NoName, honestly, how am I supposed to hold on until January?
Even if there are bugs, it’s fine—just don’t do a beta test and release it quickly.
[Comments]
– Thanks for the summary
– There are bugs? Just smash your head and start over from the beginning. What’s the problem?
– Is it too early to expect Chekanya doujin? LMAO
– There’s a boss being humiliated before the game even comes out?
└ Hehe, all dead.
– This is going to be so funㅠ But for a noob like me, it’s toughㅠㅠ
└ Wagal definitely has an easier difficulty, so it’s fine.
– What’s with the pretty Rapavnk map?
– I heard they’re increasing multiplayer to 6; it’d be fun if streamers collaborated.
– Are you NoName’s friend? From now on, call them NoName-nim.
└ Looking back, the author did a good job being polite, kinda unfair LMAO

I defeated Lu Chekanya and released Hibris from the cross.
Wearsoft has well presented the proof that the dark fortress guys have a group fetish for crosses.
“Thinking about it, I don’t think we’ve ever taken a normal path.”
“You just realized that now?”
“Indeed, it was right that it wasn’t a normal path, huh?”
One hour into playtime, newbie Monica finally caught on.
We leaped over roofs, crossed cliffs, and even swam through underwater caves to breakthrough shortcuts.
So far, the bosses we’ve encountered were only Count Raikos, Inquisition Officer Lu Chekanya, and the giant demon beast Teradux.
And how would I know it was a shortcut when I’d never played the game?
Let’s just chalk it up to the intuition of a veteran.
“Hmm… where are we?”
After escaping from Rapavnk Fortress, Hibris opened her eyes.
Is she finally going to be useful?
“I was taking you to Wilhelm Village.”
“What about my father?”
Papa girl Hibris cried out her father Brooks’s name once again.
“Mr. Brooks is guarding the village. But the situation isn’t good. The Empire has labeled Wilhelm Village as a heresy, so we need to wait for the Praha-in army to join quickly.”
“By the way, Hibris, I have to ask—did you raise a pterosaur as a pet? A really big bird?”
“I-I don’t know…”
“Is that an excuse because it’s a demon beast? We heard everything from the pterosaur. It asked for your help.”
“Oh.”
Hibris hesitated but eventually spoke up.
“It’s a demon I occasionally fed in Wilhelm Forest. That’s all.”
“The pterosaur died protecting you, pierced by a spear.”
“Ugh…”
“Why are you overreacting now? It’s just a mere demon that harms people. In the end, you controlled it to die instead, so why have sympathy?”
I poked at Hibris’s shoulder, provoking her.
She showed a disgruntled expression and clenched her fists tightly.
Her eyes glimmered a deep green.
‘Soon, she will be overcome by erosion.’
We arrived pretty quickly, but this level of difficulty…
If it was a regular route, arrogance would have already descended.
As we were conversing, my gaze wandered to the side.
Kuooohhhh!
A scorpion bear beast emerged from the sand dunes.
Its tail dripped with green poison.
“Yikes! What the heck just popped up? It’s a demon beast, right?”
“Na-me, should we fight or run?”
“Wait, let me handle this.”
Hibris crossed her hands and chanted a spell toward the beast.
“In the name of Arrogance, I declare. Suppress the instinct to kill. I shall comfort the hate and loneliness you bear. Return to nature and embrace the joys of the earth.”
Ploooosh-
The rampaging demon beast slowed down and lay in front of us.
The beast snored as it fell asleep, gradually dissolving into nature.
Monica blinked in amazement.
“Wow, what’s the principle behind this? It’s amazing. I want to learn this kind of magic.”
“Did you figure it out on your own? Or did Lu Chekanya tell you?”
“You seem to know everything. I don’t know if I can trust you, but I don’t have much choice… The Inquisition Officer taught me the spell.”
“A spell? The Inquisition Officer?”
“That white-haired kid from before is the Inquisition Officer. Not at all a child, though.”
Nine years into Emperor Hiasen’s reign, the continent seriously began to uncover how to manage erosion.
If erosion is something humans can handle, it becomes a weapon for mutual assured destruction rather than a disaster.
They thoroughly concealed the secret that it would explode by itself over time.
Instead, they sent soldiers and used a host.
“I’m sorry for what I said earlier, Hibris. Your ability to control demon beasts is just so foreign to me.”
“I understand. Maybe I’m the only one in the world who has this ability. May I ask your name?”
“It’s NoName. This is Adella, and that’s Monica.”
Hibris’s actual history was grim.
She wasn’t in a safe village like Kaizen World, nor were we directly rescuing her like in Wagal.
Fooled by the Inquisition Officer’s promise that following orders would lead her to her father, she had been exploited in the war for a year.
Wilhelm Village had long been purged.
As a result, erosion rampaged, resulting in 13 deaths and 86 permanent injuries.
Such a horrific narrative couldn’t be contained within Wagal.
“But still, this is a game. Let’s not take it too seriously.”
“Huh?”
“Nothing. It’s almost time to go. Shall we head to Wilhelm Village?”
The subsequent story proceeded similarly to what appeared in Kaizen World.
Wilhelm Village was being guarded by other young men.
Judging by the lack of traces of fierce fights against Count Raikos, it was clear the timeline had diverged.
We hiked to Caldera Lake in search of Hibris’s father.
Hibris picked flowers halfway up the mountain and gifted us pretty crowns.
“Na-me Unni, please make it with heavy flowers. I don’t want to be tall, hehehe.”
“Heavy flowers? I should have picked some sunflowers earlier.”
“Don’t take it seriously, I’m just kidding.”
“You’re too kind, Hibris. I’ll treasure it.”
For a while, we strayed from the hardcore ARPG genre and enjoyed a healing adventure time.
At the peak, we met Brooks, who was protecting his real daughter Marigold’s grave.
As expected, he didn’t remember Hibris at all.
“Rather, I want to ask you. Who are you pretending to be our daughter?”
“I-I am…”
Even though it was a line I had heard multiple times, it still left an uncomfortable feeling in my heart.
Saetbyeol turned her head to stare at the distant mountains, and Monica’s eyes glistened with tears.
Brooks’s sorrowful voice brushed against the night air.
“Even now, when I go to Wilhelm Village, I often dream of my daughter appearing. No, I might be dreaming every day. The more I drink the night before, the clearer the dream becomes. Mary is dead, but in my dreams, I watch my daughter’s growth with joy. But when I think about it…”
Huuk.
“Why does my dream daughter overlap with this child’s face? There isn’t a single resemblance to our daughter.”
“Does Dad not remember me? We spent years together!”
The atmosphere suddenly grew eerie.
Hibris’s voice unexpectedly gained an echo.
Kiiiiiih-!
Pterosaur beasts appeared at an altitude of more than 2000 meters.
They flapped their enormous wings and flocked around us.
Brooks panicked and drew his sword.
“I can’t trust neighbors, friends, or family. Ugh… Can’t trust…!”
Keekee-!
The demon beasts began to rampage even more in response to Hibris’s emotional turmoil.
‘It won’t be long before it explodes; should I jump off this mountain now?’
I scanned the area for potential escape routes.
Luckily, a savior arrived just in time.
[Casting: Dragonia Tenebra]
The trembling shadows.
A black dragon named Luri, dressed in an elegant maid outfit, slowly emerged from above.
However, she brought along a seemingly unnecessary uninvited guest.
A witch with wavy blonde hair cascading over her chest entered with her maid.
[Casting Level 4: Gravity Adjustment]
[Casting Level 5: Arabesque Knot – Explosion (爆)]
[Casting Level 5: Chain Light Amplification]
[Casting Level 6: Hellfire]
QUAAAAAACK-!
With a quadruple casting, dozens of medium to large airborne demon beasts fell from the clouds.
“Wow, it’s already meeting my sister here? You came to rescue us!”
“Sister…?”
Saetbyeol clasped her hands, amazed by the magical prowess.
I pulled her sleeve, dragging her toward me.
“What are you doing? It’s just an NPC.”
At my words, the witch looked at us sharply.
What a show-off for just being an AI.
The witch from the east, Estasha, who tidied up the scene.
She calmly surveyed the situation before commanding her maid.
“Luri, I’ve been patient enough. Now, kill the Arrogance.”
“But Mother, about the progress…”
“It’s an order.”
“If that is your wish…”
“Wasn’t that person our ally? Na-me? Na-me!”
Monica turned flustered and stood in front of Hibris.
The past me and the present me’s gazes crossed.
‘I look like such a stubborn person.’
I couldn’t help but force a smile in what was really an awkward situation, gripping my sword.
“They say she’s not an ally, so fighting is the right move now.”
