Chapter 343 – Seven Jewels and One Sword (5)

Bam! Bam! Bam!

[Bwahahaha! Bring it on!]

Splat! Splat! Splat!

Balrog was excelling in his role as expected of the demon that served as the vanguard in Baal’s army. He charged forward with his shield, plowing through the slimes like a bulldozer.

Splat! Splat! Splat!

Two golems actively supported him, trailing right behind. The Ice Skeleton Golem used its six long arms to sweep the surrounding slimes, while Han-Yeol’s Lava Golem disintegrated those attempting to regenerate.

Following close behind them was Han-Yeol.

‘Volcano!’Embark on a journey to the beginning at n0v#lbin★

He skillfully created a river of magma to secure their rear as they advanced, fully protecting the party from being surrounded.

[Kieeeek!]

Despite some slimes braving the river of magma to approach the party, they met an unfortunate end at the hands of the demon with commanding area-of-effect magic spells.

The genius magician, Arch Lich!

He was truly a genius who had awakened as a lich and evolved into an Arch Lich without any outside help. Although his powers were currently sealed after being summoned by Han-Yeol, he hadn’t lost his intelligence.

[Ice Storm!]

Whoosh! Krrwaaang!

His magic engulfed the surroundings, freezing every single slime nearby. What made this even more impressive was the fact that he was seated on a throne made of ice, hovering thirty centimeters above the ground. The way he cast the spell only added to his astonishing appearance.

[I will freeze everything here! Kwahaha!]

The Arch Lich smiled and let out a sinister laugh, spreading his mana repeatedly.

Han-Yeol could have vaporized the frozen slimes, as he did a while ago, but he didn’t waste his time on them. Dealing with small fry wasn’t his priority; he aimed to defeat the boss monster swiftly.

Wooong!

Infusing his mana into his eyes, he scouted ahead with Demon Eyes.

‘We’re almost there.’

In the distance, one particular, notably stronger slime confirmed his suspicions—it was the dungeon's boss.

[So it’s over there.]

“Yes, I think so too,” Han-Yeol replied to the Arch Lich.

Then, turning forward, he shouted, “Balrog-nim!”

[Bwahaha! Leave it to me!]

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Balrog accelerated, wielding both shield and spear, obliterating the surrounding slimes in his charge.

Plop! Plop!

The slimes abruptly halted, seemingly aware of Han-Yeol's plan, or rather, controlled by an external force since they lacked independent thinking.

[No you don’t! Ice Bolt!]

Shwoong! Shwoong! Shwoong!

The Arch Lich summoned hundreds of icicles, piercing through every obstructing slime.

[Kieeeek!]

The icicles didn't just pierce the slimes; they struck their cores with pinpoint accuracy.

‘Wow... The Arch Lich’s mastery of magic is astounding...’ Han-Yeol marveled at the display.

[Focus.]

“Yes, Arch Lich-nim.”

Han-Yeol refocused, reprimanded for his distraction.

Nevertheless, the party pressed on, thanks to Han-Yeol’s demons, and reached the boss room.

Plop...! Plop...! Plop...!

The King Slime proved to be a formidable opponent, suddenly unleashing tentacles from all over its body.

‘W-What?!’

The speed at which the tentacles shot out was incredibly fast, making it challenging for Han-Yeol even with Sixth Sense activated.

‘Keuk!’

Mid-air, avoiding all the tentacles proved impossible.

But Han-Yeol wasn't an ordinary Hunter; he possessed a diverse array of skills.

‘Wings of Light!’

Chwak!

Wings sprouted from his back, aiding him in twisting mid-air. Yet, the King Slime continued its assault, launching more tentacles. Han-Yeol focused intensely, maneuvering to evade each one.

Chwak!

‘Keuk...!’

While he managed to dodge some, not all. Tentacles grazed his arms, legs, and cheeks, drawing blood, heralding the start of his problems.

Tss...!

“Argh!”

The King Slime's corrosive acid seeped into Han-Yeol’s body through the grazed wound, gradually widening it while emitting the foul stench of burning flesh. Yet, Han-Yeol calmly placed his hand over the wound.

‘Restore.’

Woooong!

He possessed a skill capable of detoxifying potent poisons, purging corruption, and healing injuries as long as he remained alive. A radiant white light emanated from his hand, completely purifying the wound of the King Slime’s acidic residue.

Flap! Flap!

Hovering above the ground, Han-Yeol utilized his wings. While others might have been impressed by his evasion of the boss monster's attack and neutralization of its toxic acid, Han-Yeol didn't smile.

‘That was quite potent...’

In just a few seconds, he sensed the King Slime’s acid eating away at his skin and muscles. Without the ability of 'Restore,' those moments would have inflicted mortal wounds, leading to his demise shortly after.

‘This is going to be annoying...’

A mere graze and a few drops of acid caused substantial damage. How could he reach the King Slime’s core, almost at the center of its colossal body?

[Bwahaha! Where do you think you’re looking? Fire Charging!]

Fwaaaa! Bam!

Balrog propelled himself from the ground, initiating his move while Han-Yeol and the King Slime faced off.

Fire Charging employed his flaming shield to slam the enemy, the impact scattering flames and rattling the King Slime’s body.

[Bwahaha! How do you like the taste of my attack?!]

Balrog grew increasingly enthusiastic.

“Hahaha... You might want to be careful, Balrog-nim...” Han-Yeol warned, awkward laughter accompanying his words.

[Hmm?]

Shwiing... Bam!

[Argh!]

The King Slime didn't succumb to stun from such impact; instead, it promptly retaliated, launching its tentacles at Balrog.

Unfortunately, Balrog, engrossed in laughter and savoring his attack, failed to notice the incoming tentacles.

Bam!

Hurtled into the distance, he collided with the wall, prompting an angry shout from the Arch Lich.

[You’re going to break my magic, fool!]

Balrog’s substantial size and weight posed a threat; his crash risked shattering the magical spell cast by the Arch Lich.

[Bwahaha! My bad!]

It was hard to entirely blame Balrog, who displayed his easy going nature by apologizing and brushing it off with laughter.

Both demons were of similar stature, yet their personalities starkly contrasted, mirroring the attributes they embodied perfectly.
