Chapter 160 - Pyongtaek, Hell, Devil (2) (1/2)

Now, the troll skeletons fired huge slingshots at the Hellhounds at random. Fist-sized stones were fired like bullets, knocking down the Hellhounds at the forefront.

After that, the ghouls started running and got into dogfights with the monster dogs.

The flames spewed by the Hellhounds were powerful, but they were not fatal anymore.

The charcoaled bodies of the ghouls recovered in an instant, stood up again, and cut off the Hellhounds’ heads.

“As things stand now, we can block them to some extent.”

As long as the effect of the killing scythe, Grim Reaper, was there, Sungwoo was in a more favorable situation because he could make this a war of attrition.

Thump- Thump-

However, Sungwoo had to find a way to deal with the Fire Giant coming closer to him.

‘We can’t beat him with a simple attack .’

Since the monster’s body was made of flame, ordinary physical attacks would not work. Moreover, even a large skeleton would melt just by touching his flame body.

However, the Fire Giant had only one soft spot, namely his head. He had a skull that seemed to be made of stone.

‘Okay, that’s the area we have to focus our attack on.’

Every boss monster had its soft spot, and the Fire Giant was no exception.

Sungwoo walked towards the Fire Giant without any hesitation.

“Poisonous cloud!”

Sungwoo showed off his new skill.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuh ―

Then, dark clouds began to form at a rather low altitude in the sky over where Sungwoo was standing. It was a mixture of purple and green, a skill he had obtained after winning the mini-game, called ‘Poisonous Cloud Production’ skill.

But it was questionable whether something like poison would inflict any damage to such a huge fireball. But if it was rainwater coming down with poison, it might be able to annoy this monster composed of flames.

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter.

Raindrops started to fall. Sungwoo reached out his hand and adjusted the position of the clouds.

The raindrops gradually began to fall heavily. They were not heavy enough to put out the flames, but they could still lower the temperature of his body because his temperature was like his heartbeat.

Kuaaaaaaaaaaah!

The Fire Giant screamed and reached out his hand to the building next to him. Then, he ripped a handful of the outer wall of the building and threw it at Sungwoo.

‘That’s dangerous.’

“Watch out!”

While manufacturing a bone shield, Sungwoo lowered his posture. Minsok hugged Hanho and hid behind the car while Jisu was ready to avoid the monster’s attack, concentrating all her senses.

Bang!

A firestorm swept through the area. Cars on the road were crushed and skeletons shattered. Furthermore, even the trees were smashed to pieces.

Weeeeeeing! Weeeeeeing!

Car alarms sounded here and there, and the water from fire hydrants on the sidewalk burst into the air.

“What the heck is this?”

Hanho finally woke up after he was showered with cold water.

“Hey, if you have come to your senses, get up and throw your daggers!” Sungwoo shouted.

Sungwoo threw the tattered bone shield, made a new bone shield, and rushed toward the Fire Giant.

As the poisonous clouds poured out heavy rain, smoke blew out of his head.

Sungwoo felt the flames of his body were much weaker now.

‘Yes, his soft spot is his head. I can only hit his head.’

In order to hit the Fire Giant’s head, Sungwoo had to make the monster lower his head.

So, Sungwoo boldly approached the monster until he was within ten meters of him.

Thump- Thump-

At that moment, the monster bent his back and stretched out his hand toward him.

A pillar of fire erupted from the palm of the monster’s hand and struck Sungwoo.

Bang!

“Uh? Sungwoo!”

Sungwoo lifted the shield, but the huge flames swallowed his whole body in an instant.

“…Kuuuuuuuuek!”

Although Sungwoo was in Lich mode, he felt enormous pain, like a needle was pricking his whole body. The monster let out a tremendous roar as if tearing his eardrums.
