Chapter 173 – Bakash Island (2)
‘Boom!!’
The hunters simultaneously turned to look towards the jungle.
‘Boom!!!’
The sound was steadily getting louder. Someone whispered,
“Is that…”
He did not finish speaking, but everyone could roughly guess what he wanted to say. The spearman quickly began to gulp down the potion that he was holding.
‘Boom!!!!’
[Warning!]
[The Devourer ‘Kiazen’ has appeared.]
Soon, the figure of an enormous Tyrannosaurus could be seen towering above the canopy.
Someone quietly muttered,
“Damn…”
Everyone was extremely tense except for Sungjin. Soon the enormous Tyrannosaurus, Kiazen the Devourer, came out of the jungle.
“Brilliant Protection!”
An intense light came surging out of the tanker’s shield.
‘Grr~’
The Tyrannosaurus averted its eyes due to the intense brightness.
‘Is he blinding it with the light… That guy really does have good items…’
Attacks from long-ranged damage dealers soon followed. First, the archer released an arrow.
“Exploding Arrow.”
The arrow that he fired landed directly on the Devourer Kiazen’s right eye and exploded.
‘Booom!’
As the name suggested, it created an immense explosion. All of the hunters watched the blast closely.
‘Did it work?’
However, after a brief moment, Kiazen glared at the hunters with a terrifying eye that had transformed to that of a panda’s.
‘It was a good idea to aim for the eye, but… the timing wasn’t good. If the tanker made the boss close its eyes, then it would’ve been great if he had delayed his attack by just a little… Or he could have aimed for the neck which was narrower in comparison to that head…’
The archer was also a bit lacking, unfortunately, in combat instincts. Next, the magician began to chant a spell.
“The Source of Strength, Destroy my Enemies! Light of Ashurian!”
A light violently blazed up in the magician’s hand before scattering in various directions.
‘Boom! Boom! Boboom!’
The rays of light would explode each time they came into contact with Kiazen’s body, shaking him from side to side. The hunters shifted their gaze towards the boss in unison.
‘Did it work?’
But after a short while, Kiazen bellowed even more furiously towards the hunters. When Sungjin saw this, he thought,
‘Before, he was great in adapting to the situation… But it seems that his Magic Power isn’t up to par since he invested Stat Points towards his physical abilities.’
If the team’s primary magician was bought enough time to finish a chant, then he must have the ability to deal a critical blow to the enemy.
‘When compared to Mustafa… or Edward… He is nowhere near as good…’
The two that he had some hopes for ended up disappointing him. Just in case, Sungjin asked Besgoro for his opinion,
“Mr. Besgoro, what do you think about them?”
‘Hrm? Who?’
“The skills of these people.”
‘No matter how you look at it, they seem to be worse than your teammates, whether it’s that bow-using miss or that miss with the big boobs… or that guy wielding the greatsword.’
“As expected, that’s the case.”
It looked like there was no one in this party that was worthy of being taken all the way to the end as an ally. Even if you took into consideration the bonuses that the current ‘Chosen Ones’ received from the title, these people were nowhere close to the level of ability of the ‘Chosen Ones’. While Sungjin was appraising them,
“Gaaaah”
“Kaghk!”
The spearman was sent flying into the sky by Kiazen’s foot, and the archer was slammed onto the ground. The rather exasperated tanker shouted towards Sungjin.
“Hey! Master Hunter! Just what are you doing?”
It was then when Sungjin realized that he was standing idly by and conversing with Besgoro while his teammates were dying.
“Aahh… Sorry.”
The tanker shouted angrily,
“Is being sorry enough? We’re all about to die!”
Sungjin took out Rajenta’s egg from his vest and threw it into the air as he said,
“Don’t worry. There’s no need for me to observe you anymore.”
Rajenta broke out of the egg and shouted loudly as he circled widely around Kiazen.
“Kyaaaang!”
Kiazen was wary of Rajenta and attempted to bite him, but couldn’t keep up as Rajenta was too quick. Sungjin shouted at Rajenta,
“Over here! Rajenta, there’s no time to play around.”
At Sungjin’s words, Rajenta obediently flew over to Sungjin’s side. Sungjin jumped up slightly and climbed onto Rajenta’s back.
“Rajenta, we’re aiming for that guy’s head. Besgoro, match our timing and activate Frenzy.”
‘Okay’
Sungjin, who had only been holding onto his swords loosely, now tightly grasped his Blood Vengeance and Moon Specter. Rajenta followed his master’s orders and ascended into the air above Kiazen’s head with Sungjin on his back.
‘3, 2… 1’
Sungjin looked for the right timing before he jumped down from Rajenta’s back directly onto Kiazen’s head. At the same time, Besgoro’s helmet turned crimson. Within mere seconds after he had descended, Sungjin had torn apart the Tyrannosaurus’s head with Moon Specter and Blood Vengeance. Kiazen, whose head had suffered from several dozen wounds in an instant, let out a pitiful cry that did not match its gargantuan size as it collapsed.
“Kyaaaaaaaaann!!”
Right before Sungjin hit the ground, Rajenta caught his master on his back and leisurely flew up towards the sky. While Sungjin took in the wind from atop Rajenta’s back, the Operator’s voice rang out.
[Boss monster ‘Kiazen’ Cleared]
Sungjin told Rajenta who was carrying him,
