Chapter 150 – Last Sub-Dragon (5)
‘There are two bosses?’
The left wall of the boss room was smashed, and another monster snake appeared after Yamata no Orochi.
Its size and appearance.
Judging from its gigantic yet ferocious appearance…
Absolutely no ordinary monster.
In other words, that monster snake is also a boss monster.
That told me that the total reward for the ‘smuggling cave’ dungeon was two.
‘Does that make sense?’
Even in the middle of the madness, the wonder did not stop.
That there are two boss monsters in one dungeon.
This was information I hadn’t had before.
No matter how many times I went through dungeon raids, I never had anything like this, and no matter how many times I read 〈 Next Rune Holder 〉 in the previous world, I had never read anything related to it.
If there was one peculiarity, the boss monster of the underground dungeon was changed from the sub-drake ‘Grizzly Drake’ to the existing ‘Red Drake’.
That was all the information about the boss that I learned recently.
‘It’s completely new information this time too.’
Thoughts flash through my mind.
In previous worlds, I hadn’t seen the completion of 〈 Next Rune Holder 〉.
The ‘Academy Raid Incident’ is well resolved, and the 〈 Villain 〉 Clan walks the path of decline.
And Park Jin-woo, who has finished growing up, sets foot in the ‘city of excommunicated wolves’ and encounters unusual beings in the dungeon.
That was the end of the second half development I saw.
So even though I knew this world better than anyone else, I knew that there were clear limits to that knowledge.
It’s not just about the double boss in this dungeon.
An A-class monster, Manticore, who was previously hunted with Moon Ga-eun in the ‘Cloud Covered Nest’.
Among them, the [Fast Recovery] Rune obtained from a monster.
Even the information on that rune was full of things I didn’t know.
Downgrade rune, barbarian enhancement, luden arc spell….
Unfamiliar words and information came to me at the time.
‘I have to dig myself up soon.’
Only then could I accept the reality.
The preoccupied information has come to an end.
Now people will find countless undiscovered dungeons, and get hidden items and runes in their own way.
Song Hyeon, a character in the play, will soon announce ‘how to acquire runes through repetition’, and Choi Yoo-min will soon become the best blacksmith in Korea.
In that upheaval…
I had to adapt to the changed surroundings in my own way.
The clearing of this dungeon and the appearance of the double boss were the signals that signaled the beginning.
Gya, oh oh-!!
The monster snake attacked with a terrifying scream.
The first attack is a physical attack.
It was a bite that flew forward using its large head.
“Sigh… !!”
Out of the 9 eerily protruding heads, 4 heads fly in in an instant.
I quickly took out the [Hobgoblin’s Bronze Shield] With the ‘Armor Replacement Art’.
Then, the [Iron Wall Defense] Skill that unfolds immediately.
Since I don’t know exactly whether his level is A or S, I had to block it by using the maximum defensive skills I could use right away.
Kang-!
Kang, Kang, Caang-!!
Gyaooooo-!!
After receiving that vicious attack.
I felt right away.
‘It’s surprisingly worth it.’
The opponent’s physical attack was not as strong as I thought.
It was a bit tricky to predict the direction due to the large number of heads, but I was able to block it anyway.
And if a monster that produces this much force has weak physical attacks…
There was only one reason.
Gyaooooo-!!
Paaang-
Hwaruk- Hwareu-!!
Intense flames burst forth that filled the entire field of view.
Flames soared everywhere, and small embers began to burn on the scales of the opponent’s monster.
Immortality magic.
It seemed that the opponent monster handled the attribute, which was one of the keywords to explain this ‘smuggling cave’, at a very high level.
Parbat- Pad-
Fire-!!
“Ugh….”
The direction of the flames turned toward me in an instant.
It was really fleeting.
I tried to counterattack right away while blocking his headbutt attack, but there was no time to do so.
Dark-colored flames radiated from all sides, pierced my body, and quickly surged up to my chest.
But I still had one last defense.
‘Be firm… !’
One of the [Descendants of the Barbarian King] Rune derivative skills, [Becoming Hard].
Excluding [Immortal Wall Defense], This is the best defense skill I can use.
Besides, when it comes to blocking elemental magic attacks, [Become Harder] Is more effective than [Immortal Defense].
〈Skill Info〉
◎Name: Harden
…
…
◎Effect
: Doubles durability for 5 seconds and becomes harder. Also, while hardening, resistance to all elemental attacks by 10 is gained. At the end of 5 seconds, Harden is dispelled.
This is because [Harden] Has a temporary resistance-raising effect against all elemental attacks.
Currently, I have 10 intolerance among my ‘resistance ability’.
In addition, through [Hardening], I instantly became 20.
And that’s not all.
The [Scorched Lizard Skin Armor] Made by Yumin Choi is specialized in defending against fire attacks.
Unless it’s a very powerful attack…
Fire-attribute magical attacks couldn’t pierce me right now.
[Special combination of deadly poison and flame! You took down Flame Hydra’s ‘Red Venom’ from the front. Intense poison and flames are burning through the skin.]
[The level of the ‘Lion’s Fireworks’ rune has risen. You gain 1 Intolerance.]
[The level of the ‘Poison’ rune has risen. Gain 1 Poison Resistance.]
Round and round information windows that disturb my eyes.
And the energy of the fire spirit that disappears from the body soon.
This told me that my body had blocked all of the powerful magic attacks and that the opponent’s monster was named ‘Flame Hydra’.
“Do Jae-hyun!”
And at the same time, I heard a shout calling me along with the sound of running from behind.
It was Park Jin-woo, who hurriedly changed his route while dealing with Yamata no Orochi.
It seemed that Kwon Oh-joon, who had launched an attack in the back row, was aware of the situation on my side and split up the missing support personnel.
‘You got it right in that short amount of time.’
The Flame Hydra is a boss monster that possesses the highest level of fire-attribute magic runes.
Of course, it is difficult to deal with the wizards in our party.
We must somehow hold out in melee and expect Akiba’s support fire.
In addition, Park Jin-woo is a holder who shows considerable strength in intolerance.
Excluding Kwon Oh-jun, he was the most helpful of the party members.
His joining was the best support staff in the current situation.
As soon as I confirmed his presence, I shouted without looking back.
“Cut off the head first! The fire is pretty strong, so be careful!”
“Oh!”
Park Jin-woo and I have done dozens of sparring matches so far.
We know each other’s strengths and weaknesses better than anyone else, and we can create each other’s positioning most efficiently.
With just a brief conversation, we have already calculated the battle plan.
“Follow me!”
Park Jin-woo unleashes his ultimate skill without any worries.
The [Unsuccessful Quick Sword]’S [Left Slash].
Seventeen high-speed slashes hit the first head of the Flame Hydra.
Skan- Caen-
Gya-gya-oh-!!
The flame hydra struggled more violently than before at the sudden attack.
To burn his ultimate skill to slice off one of his heads…
From the guy’s point of view, it was just absurd.
But it was a springboard for an organic chain attack.
“Sigh… !!”
I jumped into the air and stood up to Park Jin-woo.
And step on the shoulder of Park Jin-Woo who finished the attack.
Leap forward again.
Using the momentum, it flew into the other heads of the Flame Hydra.
‘Cutting the stairs… !!’
[Claw short sword] Is held in both hands.
It was to give a small blow to the Flame Hydra by using the [Maehwa sword method] Using a short sword.
Quaang-!! Quagga River-!!
Gyaooooo-!!
Three? Four?
I don’t know how many heads I’ve gone through.
It was because it passed by so quickly.
Instead, the first and last attacks use [Stair Slash] Magic.
In addition, the [Exploding Sword’s Force] Effect is included.
Even if it wasn’t a big blow, I could see that the Flame Hydra was taken aback by the magic attack that came in succession.
Hwareuk-!!
Fire-
As if to prove him, hot flames soared again around him.
It was his main specialty, a fire-attribute magic attack.
That’s not the end.
“Keep, cuckoo… !!”
Park Jin-woo’s painful screams were heard.
Upon hurriedly checking, the fireball that came out of the Flame Hydra’s mouth was right there.
It is said that Park Jin-woo has a fairly high tolerance level, but he is helpless when attacked that exceeds his resistance level.
In a blow filled with anger and thrown explosively…
Park Jin-woo was taking a big hit.
“Fuck you bastard….”
Unbeknownst to me, there are curse words.
However, holding back his anger, he climbed onto the body of the Flame Hydra he was aiming for.
In times like this, you need to be calm.
There are two boss monsters here.
If you get flustered by this guy’s attack and lose your temper, let alone attack, the lives of your party members will be in danger.
‘The water… !’
In the center of that chaos.
Suddenly, I took out a bottle of water.
No effect, no system item…
Just plain bottled water.
Some would call me crazy, but I needed this right now.
Pan-!
Shiver-
Burst the water bottle
A small amount of water began to flow over the Flame Hydra’s body.
Without even time to look at it, I hurriedly used my skill.
‘New Wave.’
A derivative skill of [Wave that swallowed the whirlpool], [New Wave].
If only a little bit, even a small amount of water.
A skill that can create huge waves comparable to the sea.
The water that started in the bottled water grew at a crazy speed as if it were multiplying.
Gya, Gyaoo-?
I felt like I felt something strange.
The Flame Hydra tried to struggle again, but…
“It’s late, you bastard.”
Parts, parts-
Before I knew it, an intense current of [Penetrating brain energy] Was already flowing in my hand as I changed my weapon.
