168 – Unclosing Gate-6
The boss monster covered in ooze swelled in an instant and grew larger.
Originally, it had a large body with a length of 5 meters and a height of 3 meters, but when it was properly inflated, it turned into a gigantic figure that exceeded 10 meters in height.
-Keoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
Then, the appearance of a moment ago, where there was intelligence, began to attack violently without any warm-heartedness.
Did you lose your intellect when you changed your body?
We don’t know exactly what happened, but the loss of intelligence was clearly to our advantage.
-Kang!!!
Its mucus gently bent and hit Ha-yeon, but in the middle it suddenly hardened and collided with Ha-yeon’s hand. Both of them were obviously bare, but there was a strong sound like metal colliding.
I couldn’t see it very closely because it was far away, but Hayeon was perfectly fine, whereas the boss monster’s body had thinly cut scars. Of course, since her body is made of mucus, that part quickly healed and recovered, but Ha-yeon looked a little stronger than the boss monster.
“Captain! You have to find the main body and hit it! If you cut the slime, it will stick again soon.”
“Isn’t it because I don’t know?”
Ha-yeon ran to the boss monster with the sword slung around her waist.
‘I think it’s the first time I’ve seen Ha-yeon use a sword.’
The only thing I ever saw was a stick fighting naked or wielding something like a sword, but when I saw Ha-yeon holding a proper sword, that figure was very cool.
-Kakak!!!
Unlike before, when the hands collided with the slime, when Ha-yeon’s sword tried to cut through the center of the boss monster, a groove of considerable depth was dug and the inside of the boss monster was clearly visible.
Something presumed to be the body was visible on the outside, but that did not go deep enough for Ha-yeon’s blade to attack the body.
Other Awakeners attacked through the cracked slime, but the slime reattached at a fairly rapid pace.
-Coooooooo!!!
The boss monster swung the slime once again, but all the Awoken skillfully avoided it.
“The attack power itself is strong, but the movement is very poor. I think it will be easier to catch than I thought.”
“How do you catch the attack when it doesn’t work properly!”
Was Ha-yeon out of her mind? A voice full of annoyance came from the white mana sphere floated by the younger, as usual.
“Where’s the point of swinging the sword first towards the main body just because you said it was supposed to attack the main body? Of course, there is a separate strategy. You forgot all the strategy I told you earlier about suddenly talking and raising your figure?”
Once Ha-yeon returned to her usual way of speaking, Yeon-ha also returned to normal.
Even when we were talking like this, since the situation was so urgent that the boss monster would attack us several times, there was probably no time to decorate it to use a solemn tone.
“You mean to slowly drop the slime and keep it from sticking to the main body? It seems like an immature mistake for a sister-level Awoken to suddenly assert that her opponent has grown up and throw her sword first at the center? I made a mistake, and the other people were also cheered up in the gap.”
“Sorry, I flew it to test my attack power, but it made the other kids lose their energy.”
Even at the moment Yeon-ha and Ha-yeon were talking, the battle continued, and the battle of dropping slime while avoiding the boss monster’s attack was seen all over the huge boss monster’s body.
‘I rarely cooperate.’
Is it because each of them is a leader leading their own team? Rather than increasing efficiency through cooperation, there was a strong feeling of doing what one does best.
Maybe that’s the most efficient way. It would be much better for each of us to do things on our own rather than sticking together and getting in the way of each other.
I also occasionally fired a bullet at an unoccupied place to remove part of the slime.
“I think I need to be nervous. It’s way too easy than I expected.”
The younger muttered in a low voice.
“Isn’t it better if it’s easy?”
“It’s not good, he’s a boss monster, I expected to be able to win by pouring all available manpower into it, but his movements are so simple that I thought he was easily released? Even the boss Bonster earlier was an intelligent being who could speak I mean, there will definitely be a second phase.”
Contrary to the concerns of the younger generation, the battle went smoothly.
When the 6 high awakeners decided to attack, the slime decreased rapidly, but the boss monster did not hit a single attack until it reduced the size of the boss monster by half over 2 hours.
Attacks that simply wield and harden slime were too easy for high-level Awakeners to avoid or block once they got used to the sight, so our damage converged to zero, unlike the boss monster’s rough movement and imposing body.
“Unnie, be careful. The size is getting smaller and the body is gradually showing through. Be careful because the phase is likely to change soon.”
“okay.”
Along with Ha-yeon’s words, the Awakeners who attacked the boss monster became quite cautious.
Until now, if you only avoided the flying slime and continued to attack, now you have to keep an eye on the boss monster’s movements and attack.
Unlike so far, where I only focused on attacks, I kept an eye on the movements of the boss monster, so the speed at which I shaved the mucus was extremely slow. When the sheep she had previously sheared for 10 minutes was barely sheared over 30 minutes, a reaction finally appeared from the side of the boss monster.
-hahahaha, well done! But don’t think this is my truth.
Hearing the voice that seemed to have completely returned to reason, everyone gathered in one place and checked the boss monster’s movements.
-What are you all doing, are you afraid of me? Aren’t you guys dispatched to catch me? You shouldn’t just hide like that.
The size of the boss monster instantly decreased.
“Underneath! Avoid!”
In a short time of less than one second after Yeonha shouted, slime spurted out from the floor where the Awakeners were standing, but everyone reacted well and avoided it.
The slime went back into the swamp and the size of the boss monster returned to its original size.
-Attack me, challengers.
‘It’s definitely different from other gates.’
He said he made the gate, and his attitude toward us was completely different from other monsters.
There was an incomparable difference from the existing gate, where only monsters came out and you had to kill them.
“First of all, I can predict all of his attacks. After the boss monster attacks, there is a time when the mucus is recovered, right? Then, do your best to deal!”
The younger spoke using his ability so that only we could hear.
– Kwagagak!!
Once again, slime came out from the floor, and according to the words of the younger, everyone escaped safely.
“attack!!”
In an instant, tremendous firepower was concentrated on the slime, and a large amount of slime fell to the floor.
“The effect is certain.”
The size of the boss monster that collected all the slime was clearly different from before.
-You’re adapting quickly!
“Ha-yeon is attacking from the right side of her sister!”
The boss monster also changed its pattern, and very thin slime was shot at Ha-yeon at high speed.
It could have been avoided with Yuna’s support and Hayeon’s reflexes, but it was so threatening that a fatal injury could not be avoided if it was hit properly.
-bang!!!
When I hit the starting point of the slime using the high-quality bullet I had prepared in advance, the entire exposed slime fell to the floor with a popping sound.
“Cat Nice!”
The boss monster looked at us while covering himself with slime, as if he felt that his attacks did not work well and that the damage was great with each attack.
“You’re so confident, but you’re embarrassed because things aren’t going as well as you think?”
-You guys are super talented. It’s safe to say that I’ve already passed the test, but it’s such a pity!
-If your powers were a little weaker, if I were a little stronger, I would have taught you how to deal with enemies using strategies and tactics rather than defeating them with the strength of your powers.
‘What the hell is that guy, Jeong-chae?’
From the time it first appeared until now, it has not been consistently identified.
If you just listen, you’re talking as if you made a gate for us. Is it a trick to deceive us? Or is it a qualitatively different being from other monsters?
-From now on, I will deal with you in the most difficult way I can.
