Chapter 62

Chapter 62

Plunge, Kang Yoo-hyun's body fell into the water.

Han Yi-jin and Kang Soo-hyun had pulled the monsters' aggro around the water's edge, so they didn't pay attention to Kang Yoo-hyun. Kang Yoo-hyun's body was slowly sucked into the water. Immediately, his eyes were drawn to the depths of the sea.

Deep underwater areas where no light penetrates are extremely dark. This was where the boss monster from Area 4 was lying. Connected to the deepest part of the underwater cave, at the very bottom, there was a gigantic sea dragon stretching its body. Blue light radiated from the Water Dragon's blue scales.

[The Water Dragon Akaros

Rank: S

Level: 80

Immune to fire-attribute attacks, and immune to status ailments...]

The boss monster's information appeared before Kang Yoo-hyun's eyes. It was visible to him because he was an SS-rank. It wouldn't even appear for a low-level S-rank hunter. As expected, this place had not been affected by the rating abnormality phenomenon. Therefore, Kang Yoo-hyun would be able to deal with the boss monster alone.

"Krrr..."

As soon as he entered the area, Akaros tried to seal Kang Yoo-hyun's passive skill. However, there was no way a mere S-level seal would work against Kang Yoo-hyun. Akaros, who instinctively realized that Kang Yoo-hyun was a formidable enemy, got up and shook his huge body.

"Keuaaa!"

The elite monsters guarding Akaros rushed forward. However, most of them were annihilated by Kang Yoo-hyun's passive skill. Kang Yoo-hyun swung his sword with an indifferent face.

"Kkreurkk, kkeurrreuk...”

His movement speed was limited underwater, but thanks to an item, he was still able to move at his original speed. The sound of monsters disappearing faded with bubbles. Soon, only Kang Yoo-hyun and Akaros were left. Akaros' yellow eyes flashed. Kang Yoo-hyun felt an unusual aura around him.

Kuuuung.

As a violent whirlpool formed, it soared towards Kang Yoo-hyun. A whirlpool formed and spun. It was a force that could wipe out those below the S-rank even if they used items. But it had no effect on Kang Yoo-hyun. None of Akaros' attacks could penetrate Kang Yoo-hyun's passive skill. Unless there was a glitch in the system that changed Akaros' rank, his attacks wouldn't even touch a strand of Kang Yoo-hyun's hair.

"Keuaa!!"

Akaros' massive body covered in scales attacked Kang Yoo-hyun. Since there was no skill attack, Akaros' seemed to resort to a melee battle. But it was also a predictable fight. Kang Yoo-hyun, who had easily dodged Akaros' tail, raised his sword and launched a powerful attack. His blue sword with the dark attribute, unaffected by water, hit Akaros' body.

Slash!

“Kieek!"

With a long shriek, Akaros' body plummeted to the bottom of the ocean. The tremendous aura emanating from Kang Yoo-hyun's sword continued to surge like a storm in successive waves. Even so, he was unable to kill the S-rank monster.

As Kang Yoo-hyun unleashed his attack, he stopped for a moment and looked at something carefully. This is the territory of the Water Dragon. Water, in particular, has the ability to heal the body unlike any other element. Kang Yoo-hyun noticed that the water energy around the Water Dragon was continuously exerting its healing power.

"Tsk."

Dealing with a boss monster that had a trait to heal himself, known as "self-healing," was indeed tricky. If there were team members with skills that could interfere with the monster's healing ability, it would make attacking much easier.

However, in the absence of such a member, the only option would be for attackers with offensive skills to endlessly unleash their overwhelming attacks before the boss monsters could recover. Of course, Kang Yoo-hyun didn't have any healing-disruption skills. Instead, he was an SS-class hunter who could unleash more powerful attacks than many hunters combined.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Kang Yoo-hyun raised his sword high. It seemed that using normal skills would be difficult to eliminate the boss monster. The whites of one of his eyes turned black. And soon the pupils turned black. The power of the dark attribute was gradually amplified. An ominous aura swarmed around him.

"Kreurk..."

Just as Kang Yoo-hyun was about to unleash his final attack, the Water Dragon suddenly raised his head. However, his eyes did not fall on Kang Yoo-hyun.

Grrk, grrk.

Bubbles emerged from the Water Dragon's gills. The Water Dragon turned his head, and immediately his eyes shone as if he had discovered something. And his huge body soared to the surface of the water in an instant.

“Fuck, it’s Breath!"

“Hyung, please calm down."

"That fucker is gonna shooting Breath!"

I searched my inventory desperately. I wonder if there is an item that can block Dragon Breath. However, there's no way I have an item that can prevent an S-level Dragon's Breath. Yong-sik's breath instantly melted the S-class hunter's face. As a B-class, I will die in an instant.

"Keua, keuaaak!"

"Ugh...!"

Unable to witness the Breath attack, I closed my eyes. Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion erupted, and my body flew backwards.

Kaboom!

"Ugh...!"

I feel like I'm crashing somewhere and groaning. But strangely, my body didn't hurt much. Didn't I just get hit by a Breath attack?

I opened my eyes in disbelief and saw a spectacular sight.

Boom, boom!

“Kiaaaa!"

The Water Dragon, with his head completely twisted, shot his breath towards the ceiling. However, it didn't last long. The Water Dragon's body suddenly turned upside down. In an instant, the Water Dragon with his huge body sank to the bottom of the water.

Chwaaak!

"Ugh!"

"Is hyung alright?"

"Yeah..."

There was a big splash and my whole body was drenched. I'm glad I changed into waterproof clothes.

"That, earlier..."

"It’s hyung.2"

"As expected."

I thought I caught a glimpse of Kang Yoo-hyun, and indeed, it was him. But why did the boss monster come all the way here when they were fighting underwater? As I tilted my head in confusion, I belatedly realized that I was sitting on top of Kang Soo-hyun's body.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"That's fine."

I tried to get up quickly, but Kang Soo Hyun hugged me tighter from behind.

“Hyung was surprised, right? Hyung can stay like this."

"No, I don't want it."

"Come on."

I sighed as I pushed away Kang Soo Hyun, who rubbed his face disgustingly on my shoulder. I was indeed quite surprised.

Still, if Kang Yoo Hyun defeats the boss monster, the portal to area 5 should open soon, so we can rest here for a bit.

I relaxed my stiff body and waited for Kang Yoo Hyun to come out. I could hear continuous explosions, as if they were still fighting underwater. It soon quieted down.

Was it all over?

It was the moment when I expected Kang Yoo-hyun to resurface.

[The rating of Sæ-S76 will be adjusted to SS-rank]

"...Fuckk."

The unwelcome system voice echoed around me.



T/N: Current schedule = every Wed for now. Also go back to one chapter per week release. I think I want to work on some short story projects. Thank you all for reading! ????????✨
