Chapter 151 – Last Sub-Dragon (6)
‘It’s not good.’
Kwon Oh-jun had a hunch that the situation was not good.
The hunt, which seemed to be going smoothly, was going through difficulties.
Overall, it was a precarious situation.
It was good that Do Jae-hyeon, who was in charge of the party’s vanguard, opened the door to the battle.
As a multi-holder, he attacked Yamata-no-Orochi first with a spear technique he had learned from nowhere, and his stab with the acceleration of a charge gave him a huge blow.
Even in the eyes of Kwon Oh-joon, who mainly uses spearmanship, it was an amazing level of ‘lance charging’.
If that were the case, Yamata no Orochi would surely be knocked over by the follow-up blow.
‘The recovery is too fast.’
However, that expectation was firmly missed.
At first, Yamata no Orochi showed a low endurance value that made me wonder if he was a boss monster, but soon after, he also showed how to heal those injuries in an instant.
It was a kind of ‘sacred art’.
Just as high-ranking divinity holders spread [Cure] Or [Rest], The guy quickly healed and stabilized his body.
The casting speed was so fast that it felt like natural healing.
‘It’s a curse.’
Continuing the battle with this monster, Kwon Oh-joon was able to notice its identity.
In the holder world, ‘curse’ is one of the methods of divine spells.
Since the source itself is manifested by borrowing power from an evil spirit, curses are recognized as a type of sacred art regardless of appearance.
And Yamata no Orochi was a boss monster who showed an overwhelming level of skill when it came to the manifestation of the curse.
From recovering his body parts that were attacked, to significantly changing the atmosphere of his battlefield, to applying debuffs to himself and other party members.
He was slowly creating a battle plan that was advantageous to him through various curses.
It could be seen as much higher compatibility than the cursed monsters such as Ao Oni and Aka Oni that I had encountered in Japan so far.
‘Shit. It’s too bad.’
Gwon Oh-joon glanced at his back while holding his spear.
To make matters worse, another boss monster appeared from one side out of nowhere.
There are two boss monsters in the boss room?
This was the first time Kwon Oh-joon, who had been a holder for over 10 years, had heard of it.
Dealing with Yamata no Orochi was tough, but the ‘double boss’ was a variable that brought the situation to its worst.
Because of this, Do Jae-hyun, the core force of the party, was fighting a lonely battle alone tied to him.
He urgently sent Park Jin-woo as a support person, but at first glance, it didn’t seem to be of much help.
‘Withdrawal… I might have to.’
The first thing that came to my mind was ‘abandoning the attack’.
It is dangerous as it is.
Kwon Oh-joon, who did not give up easily even in gloomy situations when attacking the ‘Forest Covered by Snakes’, kept thinking that the current situation was difficult.
There are two A-class boss monsters that are close to S-class.
There was an obvious limit to attacking them as a member now.
Besides, the main purpose of this dungeon raid is always ‘search’.
As long as the goal was achieved, there was no need to overdo it.
It wouldn’t be easy to retreat in a situation where the battle was already in progress, but it seemed like it would work somehow if I used all the items and skills I had and subtracted the aggro.
“Chief Kwon!”
Choi Dong-wook, who was in the front line, urgently shouted.
More than this is the limit.
One of Yamata no Orochi’s curses, ‘slowing’, was maximally applied, and the movement of the party members was becoming extremely slow.
It was really dangerous if it stayed like this.
The current party leader is Do Jae-hyeon, but Kwon Oh-joon is implicitly another party leader.
Depending on his decision, the direction changes.
Kwon Oh-joon, who made a decision in his heart, shouted at the party members.
“I am a party member! Leave… “
Give up attack.
Retreat and withdrawal.
He was about to give that order.
Shoot, shoot!
Do Jae-hyun, who was dealing with a 9-headed monster snake from the side, suddenly created a large stream of water and waves.
It was also strange that he used the water attribute magic rune, but the amount of water was enormous.
A huge waterfall created in a place where you can’t even wash your eyes and find water.
A huge wave covered the entire interior of the monster snake and the boss room.
That wasn’t the end.
Parts, parts-!!
Lightning-attribute magical runes began to erupt from Do Jae-hyeon’s sword.
The lightning created by riding the conductor flowed around in an instant.
The target is a 9-headed monster snake.
It was a boss monster who was embarrassed by the sudden sea of water.
Parts -!!
Gya-oh-?!
Huge lightning strikes the boss monster.
The magic rune itself already had a considerable amount of electricity, but when combined with the previously created waves, the amount could not be measured.
The monster snake struggled in agony, and Do Jae-hyeon did not miss the opportunity.
“Explode.”
As I had seen before, his [Wave Sky Sword] Burst into flames.
A physical attack that has already been fed several times during battle.
Afterwards, a magical attack that dealt a huge blow using water and lightning.
Finishing theory, even the best offensive ultimate skill you have.
Do Jae-hyeon was continuing the attacks that a normal holder would not be able to perform properly.
Taking care of all the roles the party members had to play, he was hunting down A-rank or higher boss monsters almost alone.
In front of that overwhelming sight, Kwon Oh-jun thought.
‘What the hell is that guy doing?’
He thought he was a talented holder, but he didn’t expect it to be this great.
He was a C-rank holder just a few months ago, but he has grown explosively and reached the threshold of A-rank before he knew it.
He knew he was a multi-holder, but he didn’t expect it to be like this.
They use swords, spears, and fists…
He was a madman who used fire, water, and lightning and ate it all by himself.
Does this make sense… ?
‘That’s almost… It’s a one-man army.’
1 man corps.
The expression was just right.
The current Do Jae-hyeon was showing a figure close to that of a one-man corps.
That’s the boss room attack, which was really in danger, and led it to success by grabbing it…
It was an insane level of activity.
* * *
Gyao oh….
Got it
The Flame Hydra finally lost its massive body balance and crashed to the ground.
The fact that I had high resistance because he was focused on the fire attribute, the fact that I properly used the [New Wave] Skill and the [Infiltrating Brain] Rune, and the fact that the finish was neat….
Various elements combined, and I was able to defeat the boss almost single-handedly.
‘It’s a pity that I even used a wave-like sword.’
It’s a pity that I threw the best attack skill I could use at the moment, but I couldn’t help it.
It’s not a shy normal monster, it’s a boss monster.
I don’t know what kind of ability I’ll show in the future, but I didn’t know if I would regret it if I didn’t use the skill for no reason.
When the opportunity came, he had to take it down.
‘The other side seems to be in a hurry too.’
A glimpse of our team facing Yamata no Orochi.
The situation was not good.
Kwon Oh-joon, Shin Yuna, and Choi Dong-wook, who were at the forefront, were suffering from status abnormalities such as ‘slowness’ and ‘fear’ and were barely holding on, and the rear support staff also struggled to cast magic against the curse.
Lee Soo-mi, the only divine type in the party, was sweating profusely while removing the debuffs from her teammates.
‘It’s a monster specialized in curses.’
I was able to notice the war situation at once.
Yamata no Orochi is a monster specializing in curses and malignant divine runes.
It is safe to say that it is an evolved version of monsters such as Ao Oni and Aka Oni that I have encountered so far.
I don’t know how high the SPR of our party members is, but it won’t be easy to curse an A-rank or higher boss monster.
Soo-mi Lee is not enough.
There had to be at least two or three more divine-types.
‘I need a way.’
Neither do I.
Although I have an epic divine weapon called the [Sword of the Penitent], This weapon is only effective when the attack is successful.
If you get cursed before you even finish your attack or even approach the boss…
I also had no answer.
Therefore, in order to reach him, a special breakthrough was needed to break through that powerful curse.
And I knew the main character well.
“Park Jinwoo-!!”
He calls for Park Jin-woo, who was knocked down after being hit by a fire pit by the Flame Hydra.
He has an epic rune called [Myeonggyeongjisu].
A mental defense rune that has immunity to almost all curses and allows you to carry out your will without wavering.
A morale rune that is considered the best among mental runes.
If Park Jin-Woo, who has [Myeong-Gyeongsu], Tanks Yamata-no-Orochi’s attack from the front and draws aggro, while I can maximize my holy power to deal damage…
That boss, which seemed impregnable, had a good chance of being hunted.
“Ow, fuck- my heart is fucking hot….”
Park Jin-woo, who is still unconscious and clings to his chest.
I approached him and threw the finest potion I took from my magic bag.
Widely-
“What.”
“What is it, what is it? It’s a potion. Eat fast and move. I have to catch the remaining bosses.”
“Crazy. You want us to fight like this again?”
“Then are you going to let your teammates die?”
“… That doesn’t work.”
Park Jin-woo, who is unique in his camaraderie, forced himself to stand up again.
Two boss monsters appeared in the boss room.
I was taken aback by the unfamiliar situation, but anyway, the power of this side is not easy.
There were two main characters in the original work, and 〈 Judgment of Fire 〉 5 hunting teams who have gone through all the battles are together.
Now that the Flame Hydra, which was quite a nuisance, was completely finished.
Rather, it was a golden opportunity to defeat the remaining boss monster.
