Chapter 234
The boss monster in this dungeon, the Fire Giant, is, as the name suggests, a giant.
That means it has a mass and weight that's mind-boggling.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The writhing of the creature's body in agony was enough to devastate everything around it.
-God is angry!
-Run!
The others near him were caught in the crossfire of the blackened creature's gesture and were crushed.
If we hadn't moved away immediately, we might have been the ones in the middle of it.
He cried out over and over again from the pain that wracked his body. I stared at him, tense and nervous as I watched, trying to keep my eyes on him.
With this, I was able to skip through his first phase in a flash.
With his whole body covered in flames, it was hard to even attack him properly, as the Black Flame was able to extinguish his flames with ease.
"Ugh!"
However, the pain of maintaining the black flame was a real drag.
With the amount of area that covered the creature's body, I was beginning to feel the effects of exhaustion as I fired my breath with the intention of covering it completely.
"Junior, are you okay?"
Michaela, bewildered by my shaking body, steadies me.
Her right hand is dripping with blood from the tip.
Apparently, her arm, which had been hit by the giant's fist, was not normal either.
"I'm fine."
I was a little dizzy, but thanks to the trait [Natural Healing (A)] I don't have to worry about being squashed to death.
"Let's get ready for Phase 2, he should be on his feet soon."
The giant slowly loses strength and falls to his knees.
The others watched in bewilderment as the creature shook the entire area with a thud.
Luca, who had finally succeeded in clearing out the cultists around him, pointed at the giant and came over to me.
"Corleone Junior, what the hell was that?!"
He too was baffled by the sight of the giant in such distress.
"The most important thing to do when dealing with a fire giant is to get rid of its flames, so that you can have a good melee fight."
The creature's flames were now completely extinguished.
All that's left of it is its stony skin and the occasional red glow through it.
The creature bore a striking resemblance to a common Lava Golem.
"Now that the flames have died down, he'll be moving faster. Tell the others to be on the lookout."
I warmed up and prepared for the second phase of the battle.
Luca and Cat Mask were also moving people around, forming their own formations to deal with the creature. Elena, Michaela, and Pen stood beside me, ready to charge at the creature.
"Elena, from now on, I want you to use your wind magic with Tinker Bell as support, not offense. You know what I mean?"
"Yes! Pen seems to be almost done, so he should be able to join us soon."
"Good, Sister. From now on, the battle will be fought within his range, so be careful."
"A worthy mission, killing the god of the heathens. I'll be sure to sacrifice his head on the altar of the church."
Suddenly, her gauntlets, which had been shattered by the attack, were back to their original state.
It was no ordinary object after all.
On a prearranged signal, I drew my pistol from its holster on my thigh and pointed it at the air.
Bang!
"Well, then, let's get started."
* * *
"Everyone rush in!"
At the same time as Luka shouted, a large number of people began to run towards the Fire Giant'.
Did he feel uncomfortable with such a surrounding? The kneeling figure slowly began to raise his giant fist, and then slammed it down towards the ground.
Kwaaaaaang!!!
A tremendous vibration and boom, it was as if a giant bomb had exploded and then a ripple in the air shook everything around him.
"Watch the sky!"
With each movement of her arm, a terrifying sound echoes out.
-Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
In response, the giant screams and tries to rip Michaela's face off.
"Lightning!"
A bolt of black lightning shot upward from below, piercing his arm.
The giant, whose arm had been gouged by Eugene's kick, let out an unspeakable roar and tried to shake itself free.
However, the Black Mist mines weren't just a technique to quickly pierce through an opponent.
Kwaleng!
With a thunderous sound that echoed around him, a black electric current spread out from the hole and began to sweep across his body.
The currents converge on the creature's head.
"Sister. If you're ready, I think you'd better step back."
"Please, Junior."
Michaela moved away from his head.
Left alone, Eugene clenched his fist above the still suffering creature's head, concentrating on his aura and preparing to strike.
[Bloodline Ability: "Corleone" controls "Gloves of Midas"]
The black glove on his arm shifts into the form of a knuckle, which begins to crackle with a vicious red aura and black electricity.
His hands are reminiscent of black lightning through red clouds.
Eugene's hand, which has begun to control the aura by mixing the aura's flow into it, plunges toward the creature's head.
"Blue Sky Force."
The first Aura technique he created with his own hands.
It was another secret technique created by mixing the unique Aura control of the Aura Formula with the sharpness and destructive power of lightning.
Kwaji Jizik!!!
Eugene's aura pierces the creature's head, and the black current that burrows into it begins to crush and destroy everything in its path, turning it to mush.
The creature's body begins to tremble in shock.
As if she doesn't want to miss this moment, Michaela, who was down below, reaches out and points her index and middle fingers at the creature, unleashing the divine power she had just infused into it.
It's a devastating blow that hits him in one fell swoop.
Meanwhile, Eugene tries to escape by throwing himself downward.
"Catch him!"
Elena commands Tinker Bell to slow Eugene's fall and bring him to her.
It's a glide, to say the least.
With that, Eugene has delivered the final blow to the beast, and he turns his head to watch the giant crumble to the ground.
-Mmph!
The creature's shaking skin begins to crack.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm!
It was as if a doll encased in clay was breaking, or a bird cracking an egg. The black clay that surrounded him is falling away, revealing something'.
"Junior. Is that.?"
"Yep. There it is."
An ancient monster that had been trapped here for centuries, cursing the gods who had sealed it away.
The most powerful monster in Greek mythology.
Typhon ().
He had finally begun to show his final form.
The final phase has finally arrived.
Everyone tensed up at the sight of the newly reborn monster, slowly closing the distance between them.
It had a huge human upper body and a horrifying lower body reminiscent of a snake.
As everyone swallowed their saliva and prepared for its overwhelming appearance.
-Mortal.
The creature that had closed its eyes until now slowly opened them and shouted.
-I will destroy you.
At that moment, Eugene's body was covered in flames.
