423 We Arrived (2/2)

NotWearingPants held his Shield and evaded the Fire Giant's huge fist. If the fist had landed closer by a few meters, NotWearingPants would have bitten the dust.

His skin melted into the Shield due to the high temperature, but he wasn't affected by the injury. Raintea lifted her tree branch Magic Wand and used her White Healing Mana Skills to heal as many gamers as possible.

”Is Arthur here yet?” BurningChestHair asked while NotWearingPants was thinking of changing the direction of his attack.

”Why would he come? He's the only one who can develop Cherry's Plot. He obtained the map, and the tunnel behind the BOSS was marked on the map, meaning that Winterfell's cargo is most likely stored over there. But the truth isn't out yet, so he has to help Cherry with his investigation,” NotWearingPants replied as he ran while looking out for the Fire Giant's next attack.

The gamers were inflicting damage on the Fire Giant, whether it was ranged or close combat. The Sacred Light was very effective against the Fire Giant.

A Sacred Knight climbed on a rock wall and shouted, ”Happy new semester!” Bathed in the Sacred Light, the Sacred Knight smashed his Hammer on the Fire Giant's head and caused fiery sparks. The gamers exclaimed in shock.

The Sacred Knight almost died from the fiery sparks that landed on his body after he lost the protection of the Sacred Light.

The Gnome Sacred Knight managed to hammer the Fire Giant until he was walking unsteadily and wailing in pain. The gamers were feeling jealous of such power and felt the positive energy that the game was promoting—learn diligently, and they could have everything.

The Power of Sacred Light was extremely effective against Elemental Monsters.

There were few Sacred Knights. Among the gamers, many of them disliked learning and weren't suited to be Sacred Knights. Even after being tutored, they could only use the knowledge for logging wood. They couldn't pass the Sacred Knight exam.

Besides gamers who climbed walls to jump on the BOSS, there were gamers who attacked him with Bladder Bombs. The bombs would detonate due to the high temperature, so they were very convenient.

It wasn't clear whether the explosion regenerated or diminished the energy of the BOSS.

After tens of minutes of battle, the gamers couldn't defeat the BOSS. That was… until Brainiac arranged for the gamers to push a Magic Cannon inside the cave.

The Magic Cannon was charged and aimed at the Fire Giant.

”Open fire!”

It wasn't known who gave the command, but the Magic Cannon fired at the Fire Giant. The Mana infused shell smashed into the Fire Giant's body. The explosion of the shell extinguished the flames on the Fire Giant and shook the entire cave. The gamers were worried that the cave would collapse.

The quaking stopped after a while. After losing its flames, the Fire Giant was left with a black rock body that slowly disintegrated, creating a large dust storm.

”Has it ended, meow?” Polio asked as he walked gracefully to Brainiac's side. The dust pervaded the cave and engulfed the gamers.

”It seems like it has ended.”

Brainiac nodded as he cleared the Fire Giant, who was blocking the way. He had completed the task assigned by Sherlock.

Eggface flapped his wings and dragged his fat body up a rock pile. Though he wanted to extend his wings to fly, he wasn't successful even after trying for a long time.

Eggface looked at the dusty gamers and shouted, ”You've done well! Warriors! You're indeed my servants! I'm the Master of Dark Flames, the Demon Dragon of the Night! You have defeated the terrifying Flaming Master. It's time to enter the deep cave! Return all the treasure to me!”

The gamers cheered wildly. They then collected the rocks and metal dispersed on the ground. Those were the components of the Fire Giant. The gamers didn't know what they were, but they had to be useful since the powerful BOSS could only be killed by the Magic Cannon.

The Lava Scouts and Warriors had Lava Spars and Crystals that could improve equipment. The body parts of the BOSS had to be very useful since the metal could withstand fire, and it could probably be made into superior equipment!

Within ten minutes, the gamers collected all of the rocks and metal pieces.

After ensuring there was no more loot, the gamers continued to explore the deep end of the cave. According to the map, the interior of the cave would provide all the answers.

…

”Let's go to the lava cave. Let's see what's at the location marked on the map. Arthur, this is going to be a difficult adventure,” Cherry said to Arthur as he wore his armor and held his Longsword.

”Ah? We've found that place.”

Arthur was stunned for a while before he replied.
