Chapter 253
Siegfried believed that he could not do anything against the Terramorg with his abilities, and he was right. The Terramorg’s carapace was simply too strong. He couldn’t deal any damage at all.
However, Siegfried noticed a small wound on the Terramorg’s back, which made him reconsider his previous thoughts.
‘We can’t kill it from external attacks...’?Siegfried came to this conclusion while fighting the ancient monster for over two hours. Were the Terramorg’s internal organs as tough as its carapace?
There was only one way to find out; he had to check it out himself.
He could have jumped into the Terramorg’s jaws and made his way down into its body, but he wasn’t that dumb. He knew that a monster of the Terramorg’s caliber would have an extremely potent stomach acid. He would surely be digested the moment he entered its stomach.
Therefore, he could only ask Seung-Gu to focus fire on the small wound on the ancient monster’s back. That way, Siegfried could forge his own path into its body.
“Gwuak! Gwuaaaaaak!”
The Terramorg roared in agony and thrashed about wildly while Siegfried was running on its neck.
Tak!
Siegfried displayed jaw-dropping balance. He managed to keep running without falling off of the ancient monster, and he managed to run all the way from its neck down to the wound on its back without a hitch.
‘I have a chance as long as I manage to enter that wound!’?he thought.
It was an entirely different story if the Terramorg had no wounds, but it wouldn’t be difficult for Siegfried to lacerate an open wound.
Whoosh!
Siegfried swung the cape on his back, which was the Blood Butterfly’s Wings of the Hometown of Death.
Chwaaaak!
He used Sword Emperor Betelgeuse’s Quick Draw with the Blood Butterfly’s Wings.
Chwak! Chwak! Chwak!?
The Terramorg’s wound opened up as if it were a secret passage.
Pshwaaak! Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
A fountain of purple blood gushed out from it.
“Gwuuu?Oaaaaak!”
The Terramorg roared in agony and thrashed powerfully.
‘All right!’?Siegfried exclaimed inwardly in joy.
However, his joy didn’t last long.
‘Huh? What the hell is this regeneration speed?’?He was shocked to find the wound closing up right after it was made. It was an opportunity that he had painstakingly created, but the opportunity would disappear once the wound healed. Unfortunately, the wound was closing up so fast that it seemed like he wouldn’t make it in time.
Flash!
A bright light flashed in his hand. He had just used Megingjord to change weapons. He was now wielding the Rod of God rather than his +15 Gaia’s Fist.
The Rod of God was useless aside from its Scourge of God skill, but it was an extremely sturdy piece of wood with infinite durability.
Siegfried planned to use the Rod of God’s infinite durability to...
Puuuk!
...stop the Terramorg’s wound from closing.
Chwak! Chwaaak!
The Terramorg’s wound seized as the Rod of God stopped it from closing up.
‘All right!’?Siegfried smiled after securing an entrance.
“Hey! Seung-Gu!” he shouted.
“Yes! Hyung-nim!” Seung-Gu responded almost immediately.
“Pick up my item if I die by any chance!”
“H-Huh...? What do you mean by that, hyung-nim? What are you planning to do...?”
“See you later!” he shouted before turning around to look into the entrance.
He took out his +15 Gaia’s Fist and gripped it tightly before shouting, “Let’s go!”
“I will teach you that rashness is a highway to destruction, Lohengrin! The day has come for you to have a taste of your own medicine! Kwahahaha!”
Credos was the impatient type who had always suffered defeat at the hands of Lohengrin for the past hundreds of years, and almost every single one of his defeats was due to his impatience and impulsive decisions.
However, it was different this time around.
The tables had turned. Lohengrin was the one pressed for time, and time was on Credos and the dark elves’ side for the first time in centuries.
“Great... This is really great! The elves are going to launch a full-scale attack very soon, so get ready to annihilate them,” Credos commanded.
“Yes, my king!”
“And...” Credos flashed a sinister smile before continuing. “We have to catch that bitch at all costs to send a message to the elves. Catch her alive if possible, but don’t hesitate to sever her head if she resists.”
“Yes, my king!”
“Hohoho!?So today is the day I will finally destroy Elondel with my own two hands! Who could have known that my daughter would bring me such an opportunity?” Credos muttered under his breath with a huge triumphant grin.

Kwachik! Kwachik! Kwachik!
Siegfried swung his +15 Gaia’s Fist three times and broke through a wall of muscle.
Puuuk!
He was finally inside the Terramorg.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
He could feel from the twitching of the muscles that the ancient monster was probably going wild right now.
“Euk...!?It’s so hard to keep my balance...!”
Siegfried found it extremely difficult to maintain his balance inside the ancient monster’s body. He was rolling around back and forth inside of it.
“Where am I...? I dug through in a straight line, but I don’t think I’m in its heart cavity...” he muttered while straining his eyes to see through the darkness.
Badump! Badump! Badump!
He focused as much as he could and finally heard the ancient monster’s heartbeat.
“Ah... I think I’m in the wrong direction...” he grumbled after realizing that he was digging a part toward the ancient monster’s intestines rather than its heart.
Then, he waited for a bit longer until his eyes adapted to the darkness, and his assumption turned out to be correct. The Terramorg’s squirming small intestine was right in front of him.
“I’ll be covered in its shit if I attack that, right?”
The last thing he wanted was to get covered in some monster’s excrement while inside its body, so he left the intestines alone and followed the sound of the heartbeat.
Siegfried came across another organ while he was on his way to the Terramorg’s heart.
“Hmm? What’s that large rock? It’s definitely not the stomach and not the lava pouch. Wait, why is it glowing green? Oh? It looks like a giant bean. Is it the kidney?”
Siegfried realized that the organ he came across could be the ancient monster’s kidney.
.
“If that’s the kidney, then nothing dangerous should come out from it even if I destroy it, right? Well, here goes nothing!” Siegfried muttered. He gripped his +15 Gaia’s Fist tightly.
However, there was something he had to do before going berserk at the ancient monster’s kidney.
“I’m inside that bastard, so he won’t be able to escape if I place my debuff fields inside it... Hehehe...” he let out a sinister laugh.
He placed Blaze Field inside the ancient monster’s body.
Fwaaa! Fwaaa!?
Flames shot up from the debuff field, and it spread like wildfire.
“It’s showtime!”
He tried to maintain his balance before swinging his +15 Gaia’s Fist at the Terramorg’s organ, which he assumed was its kidney.
Pukeoook!
The sound that Siegfreid’s attack generated echoed throughout the ancient monster’s body.
“G... Gwuu... OOOOOOACK!”?The Terramorg’s cry was so loud that it generated shockwaves strong enough to shake the earth.
