Chapter 333

“...!”

Siegfried grimaced after reading the message that popped up in front of his eyes.

[+15 Gaia’s Fist]

[Durability: 90/100]

Their weapons had simply grazed each other, but his weapon’s durability dropped by ten despite being a +15 weapon.

‘Just what in the world is that weapon...?’ Siegfried wondered while rolling out of the way.

He flashed his Rune of Insight at the Hunterian King’s weapon as soon as he got the chance.

[Morningstar of Infinity]

[A large Morningstar crafted by the Hometown of Death.]

[It was crafted for the Hunterian King, and the Dragonian Mango is in its core.]

‘The Dragonian Mango is inside that thing?!’ Siegfried was shocked.

He expected Brunhilde’s medicine, the Dragonian Mango, to be hanging from a tree or stored in the Hunterian King’s treasure chest, so he was stupefied to find that it was actually in the Hunterian King’s weapon.

‘You Bavarian bastards! Don’t go around putting mangoes in weapons!’ He couldn’t help but curse the crazy blacksmiths of the Bavarian Workshop.

The weapon looked perfect for the Hunterian King as well, which made Siegfried suspect that they purposely designed and crafted the weapon for the boss monster.

Perhaps that was the reason, but the Morningstar of Infinity with the Dragonian Mango in it had utterly ridiculous stats and options.

[Morningstar of Infinity]

[Type: Blunt Weapon]

[Rating: Legendary]

[Attribute: N/A]

[Level Requirement: 300]

[Attack Power: 5,000]

[Durability: 100/100]

[Additional Options: +5,000 Mana, +150% Mana Recovery, Durability Shred.]

The Dragonian Mango provided the Morningstar of Infinity with unlimited vitality, so it increased the user’s mana by five thousand on top of increasing Mana Regeneration by one hundred fifty percent.

However, the Durability Shred option had to be its scariest option, as it would reduce the durability of weapons lower in rating that dared to stand against it. It was indeed a weapon born from the Hometown of Death.

Unfortunately, this extremely powerful weapon was currently out to crack Siegfried’s head open.

Whoosh!

The gigantic steel ball that was the size of five basketballs flew toward Siegfried’s temple.

‘I need to block it! I’ll die if that thing hits me...!’ Siegfried instinctively raised his +15 Gaia’s Fist and blocked the attack.

Clang!

An ear-splitting sound reverberated as metal clashed against metal.

“Ack!”

Siegfried was flung ten meters back while screaming, and he crashed into a stone wall.

Bam!

The debris from the stone wall landed on top of him.

“Keuuk...!”

He groaned in pain as he stood up from the debris.

[Alert: Warning! Warning!]

[Alert: The durability of +15 Gaia’s Fist has dropped by 10!]

The same warning message popped up in front of his eyes once again.

[+15 Gaia’s Fist]

[Durability: 80/100]

The durability of his weapon was shredded by twenty points after just two clashes.

“Crazy...” He couldn’t help but be dumbfounded by the might of the Morningstar of Infinity. The fact that it was able to reduce his weapon’s durability by ten every time it clashed meant that after eight clashes...

‘My weapon is going to get destroyed...’

In other words, his +15 Gaia’s Fist, which was worth billions of won, would disappear in just eight more clashes.

“You’re weak,” the Hunterian King said with a scoff before asking, “Did you really think you could challenge me with your pathetic skills, outsider?”

“Why don’t you wait and see if my skills are pathetic or not?”

“Ha! You’re all talk, outsider! Die!”

The Hunterian King swung its Morningstar.

Chwaaak!

The sound of chains echoed as the Morningstar of Infinity flew toward Siegfried.

Flash!

The Hunterian King should have died ten times over by now if it were a normal monster, but it only lost around thirty percent of its health.

‘So, is this going to be a battle of attrition...’ Siegfried thought.

“Kwwraaaah!” The Hunterian King suddenly roared. “I’m going to kill you...! KILL! Grrr!”

Shwaaa!

The Hunterian King abruptly vanished from Siegfried’s eyes.

It was a perfect cloaking that didn’t leave even a single trace behind.

***

‘Cloaking? Where did it go?’ Siegfried grimaced and looked around while heightening his senses. ‘I have no idea...’

However, the Hunterian King’s cloaking was so good that Siegfried couldn’t locate it with his animal-like instinct.

‘Where...? Where are you hiding?’ Siegfried raised his guard and looked around, but the Hunterian King showed no signs of appearing.

A minute later, Siegfried tilted his head in confusion and muttered, “Did it run away?”

The monster hadn’t appeared for an entire minute, so he started doubting whether the Hunterian King was still here or not.

“Did it really run a—”

Bam!

A powerful force sent Siegfried crashing to the ground.

“Kyu! Owner punk!”

“Hyung-nim!”

“Your Majesty! Are you alright?!”

Hamchi, Seung-Gu, and Gringore screamed in horror.

“I’m... not okay... Kuheok...!” Siegfried muttered while on the ground and bleeding from his mouth.

The Hunterian King’s sneak attack was shockingly powerful.

[Siegfried van Proa]

[HP: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜]

The Hunterian King’s attack just now shredded thirty percent of Siegfried’s HP.

“Grr...! You insignificant human dare to go against me?” the Hunterian King emerged and growled at him.

“Keuk...!”

“Die!” the Hunterian King roared as it swung its Morningstar of Infinity.

Pukeok!

The absurdly strong weapon struck Siegfried’s back once again.

“...!”

Siegfried couldn’t even gasp—the pain was simply unbearable.

[Siegfried van Proa]

[HP: ⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜]

The attack took away forty percent of his HP, and he would have died if his Blood Butterfly’s Wings didn’t absorb some of the damage for him.

“Die!” the Hunterian King roared.

Siegfried instinctively sensed danger and rolled out of the way.

Bam!

The Morningstar of Infinity struck the ground.

“You little rat!” the Hunterian King roared in anger after missing the opportunity to get rid of the pesky human.

‘I have to avoid everything from now on! A single hit will kill me!’ Siegfried gathered all of his focus and evaded the boss monster’s attacks while waiting for the golden opportunity to counterattack.

‘An opening!’ His situation was quite dangerous, but he still managed to find an opening. ‘Counterattack!’

Siegfried switched around his Rod of God and +15 Gaia’s Fist to defend and attack the Hunterian King whenever an opening presented itself.

Soon, the momentum shifted once again.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The +15 Gaia’s Fist struck the Hunterian King on its chest, chin, and waist.

“Krwaak!” The Hunterian King screamed in agony while bleeding from its mouth, and then it growled, “J-Just wait and see...!”

The Hunterian King retreated a few steps and prepared to hide itself once again, but...

Wooong!

Siegfried cast Wave of Oppression to interrupt the Hunterian King.

‘Alright!’

He smiled and was confident that he was going to win this duel after interrupting the Huntering King, but...

“H-Huh...?” Siegfried was flustered.

The Hunterian King was doing something quite unexpected.

The Hunterian King... got as low as possible on the ground and started crawling toward Siegfried.
