Chapter 171
Chapter 171 . What Is Not Allowed for Her (2)
With its right leg’s carapace broken off, the basilisk let out a furious roar that reverberated across the entire hilltop . Several of the people who heard the terrifying roar then became stiff, and signs of petrification could be seen on their bodies . I also halted for a moment, but I soon snapped out of it with the help of Soul Guard and my mana resistance . I then immediately saved Sumire, who had frozen stiff .
[You can use Athena’s power if you want . ]
[Really, Shin-nim?]
[Yeah . Let’s show them our strength . You also don’t want to be looked down on, right?]
[Yes, Shin-nim! I understand!]
I fanned some wind toward Sumire, who was looking at me with respect and flew back into the air . After roaring, the runic patterns on the basilisk’s carapace began to shine, and it shot small rock-like things everywhere . These rock-like bullets also petrified whoever they touched .
[Kyaaooooooooo!]
The basilisk’s roar continued . Unless there was continued healing, it was easy for people to die . Long-ranged attackers were pouring attacks at the basilisk’s exposed face, but the basilisk swung its massive tail and blocked the attacks before they could hit its face . His tail then fired more bullets at all the explorers . I charged toward him as I dodged these bullets .
“Blade Rush!”
Massive monsters had a boundless life force, making them difficult to kill . However, their size also made them easy targets . I easily dodged the basilisk’s tail swing and weaved through the rain of rock bullets . Then, I stabbed my spear into its left leg with full force . Chaos flame once again flared up above its carapace, and the blades from Blade Rush also hammered on its carapace . Of course, just this wasn’t enough to damage him .
“Dark Thunder Explosion!”
The basilisk’s body twitched for a moment, after which black lightning shot up from my body and poured into its carapace . The communication channel instantly became noisy .
[What’s that!? Isn’t that the 15th Floor Master’s skill!?]
[I haven’t seen that in 40 years!]
[Can someone explain what happened? That guy isn’t wearing something like the Dark Ratman Set in an SS+ rank raid, right?]
[Oi, once that skill hits, it paralyzes its target regardless of the target’s strength . Attack now!]
Unfortunately, Dark Thunder Explosion’s duration wasn’t that long! The moment the skill ended, I once again struck down at the carapace on its leg, then backed off . Immediately afterward, its tail swung past where I was standing just a moment ago .
If it were to hit me, it would petrify the part of my body it hit, which would then be shattered by the following shock . It would be a fatal damage . In fact, one of the other explorers was hit and instantly died . These Platinum ranked explorers weren’t all that much! How could they not read such a giant monster’s movements?
Regardless, once people began to die left and right, the surviving explorers became more spiteful and poured more attacks toward the basilisk . Almost everyone was attacking its left leg instead of its frozen right leg .
“Haa!”
“Die!”
[Kugyaaaaaaaaaa!]
At that moment, its carapace emitted a brilliant light . I instinctively flew up and avoided the light . Most of the flying explorers did the same . However, several of the explorers on the ground couldn’t do so .
These explorers then perfectly turned to stone .
[Damn it, its armor’s activating! Priests, hurry!]
[Malph!]
[Its eyes are shining! Attack! Stop it!]
[Damn, was it too hard with 100 people…!?]
[Stop being defeatist and use your damned skills!]
Thanks to someone’s shout, bright lights began to shine from the ground . Among them was one particularly brilliant light . A beautiful girl holding an ornate shield was making the basilisk scream in pain… Wait, that’s Sumire!
[Look, the basilisk is petrifying!]
[What!? Someone’s petrifying the basilisk?]
[A god’s power! That girl must have a god’s true name!]
[An unknown explorer with a god’s true name? What guild is she from? She must be the guild master, right?]
[She’s even young and pretty . She’s just my type!]
[Hey, you son of a bitch . Who the fuck are you? If we fail this raid, I’m going to kill you . What guild are you from?]
Good, Sumire! Well done!
Sumire had undoubtedly created an opportunity for us to overturn the situation . Although the basilisk possessed a petrifying ability, it was pushed back by the Medusa’s head on Athena’s shield . Starting from its eyes, which were about to do something, it became partially petrified . The experienced explorers present did not miss this opportunity, shooting powerful attacks at the basilisk . Of course, father and I were among them .
Father contained a powerful shockwave in his spear and successfully dealt a blow that the basilisk could not ignore . He had aimed for its petrified face . Although the petrification was done by a god’s power, since the basilisk possessed a petrifying ability, it wouldn’t be surprising if it broke out of it sooner . It was better to shatter the petrified parts of its face before it recovered on its own .
However, I aimed for a different place . Several long-ranged attackers were focusing its face, and as its one unpetrified eye began to shine, I avoided its face .
“Haaaaaaaap!”
I descended from the sky like an arrow and surged up the energy of Mad Typhoon . A whirlpool of chaos flame became compressed and gathered at the tip of my spear . With a spirited shout, I struck down at the basilisk’s massive tail .
[Critical Hit!]
[Kyaaaaaaaak!]
Good, it was effective! With Twin-headed Ogre’s Tattoo, I had gotten much stronger . With the momentum created by my quick descent, my attack successfully shattered the basilisk’s tail armor!
[The tail armor broke!]
[There’s a crack in its back armor! Attack there!]
[Ah, wait! Stop!]
Two flying attackers charged toward the basilisk’s back despite the dissuasive shout . They were both warriors holding a hammer and an axe respectfully . They seemed to be from the same guild, as they simultaneously struck down on the basilisk’s back with their weapons filled with aura . Immediately afterward, the basilisk’s back emitted a bright light . A message then rang out in my ear .
[Sage Time guild, annihilated!]
“A-Annihilated… They’re going to get sage time for sure…”1
I was curious as to who came up with that guild name, but unfortunately, it wasn’t all that important right now . I broke out in a cold sweat as I checked the basilisk’s back . What took away the Sage Time guild members’ lives was none other than a group of flying snakes . There were hundreds of mini-basilisks shooting out from the basilisk’s back .
[Damn, this never happened before!]
[They’re going to split! Hurry up and kill them!]
The communication channel became noisy with shocked voices and curses . The magicians’ attacks became focused on the mini-basilisks, but their magic resistance was annoyingly high . In other words, warriors had to take care of them . The one who stepped up was the man who froze the basilisk’s right leg before .
[Magicians, focus on stopping the basilisk’s movement! Focus especially on its head! Warriors, kill the small ones and break the basilisk’s dorsal armor!]
He was most likely Desert Scorpion’s guild master . After shouting out his orders, he charged toward the group of mini-basilisks, followed by about ten flying warriors, all wearing the same fluttering Desert Scorpion cape . As I also didn’t want to miss this opportunity, I hurriedly charged forward .
“Sharana, we’re going full speed!”
[Yes, Master!]
“Gale Track!”
There were finally guys that could boost my attack power . There was no way I would let others have them! I frantically accelerated and shot past the others .
‘No matter how high leveled you are, you won’t be able to catch up to my speed! I am the owner of Hermes’ true name and the contractor of the unique wind elemental, Sharana!’
[Who’s that!?]
[He’s that Gold ranked guy . ]
[Gold rank? With that speed? You’re kidding, right?]
A trail of chaos flame was left in the path I took . I charged toward the mini-basilisks like a comet . The first mini-basilisk that faced me blew up after being hit with my spear . Great! With this…!
“Come!”
[You used Provoke! All enemies in the area will attack you with great hostility!]
In an instant, I was surrounded by mini-basilisks . They seemed to be capable of petrifying people with their gazes as I could feel a ticklish sensation of resistance from parts of my body they were glaring at . Of course, they weren’t strong enough to penetrate Soul Guard . I smirked and sent them flying . Most of them were killed in a single strike .
“Uaaaaaaaaaaah!”
[Looks like we won’t be needed . Turn! We’re attacking its dorsal area!]
[Hm…]
Magic flashed from all sides, while the basilisk’s attacks shook the earth . Of course, its armor was being broken by the explorers even now . Everyone present had the strength to threaten the basilisk’s life . Perhaps, it was why this battle seemed especially exhilarating . After all, this was the first time fighting with explorers stronger than me!
However, I still wanted to defeat that guild master .
[Master, the wind energy is getting stronger!]
“Gather as much of it as you can! We’re going to make a huge attack!”
Even as I ordered Sharana, I constantly changed the direction of my charge and pierced through the mini-basilisks with my spear . Ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty…!
“A bit more…!”
“A god’s power!”
“Damn, is that guy a monster!?”
Then, along with the shocked exclamations of a few explorers, the basilisk stopped moving . It’s over 300-meter long armor was completely frozen white! It was undoubtedly that guild master’s attack… For a desert scorpion, you sure like using freezing attacks!
[Attack while Scizarnath’s power holds it back! It’s almost out of stamina! If we can properly break its armor, it will be our victory!]
His confident voice reached all the explorers through the communication channel . The explorers then used their most powerful skills they were saving to break the basilisk’s armor bit by bit . The armor that once covered its giant body perfectly was now in a pitiful state .
It was then that I finished the thirtieth mini-basilisk and prepared for Gale Track’s final blow . I could feel the wind energy gathering around me from Peruta Circuit’s powerful rotational force forming a storm-like whirlpool . With a grin, I shot up . Although I didn’t obtain Ogre Power yet, Twin-headed Ogre’s Tattoo gave me just enough strength to try this .
[What’s that whirlpool? It’s flying up!]
[It’s that guy . ]
[Does he also have a god’s true name?]
[No way . It’s already surprising that a new holder of a god’s true name appeared today . Throughout the entire First Dungeon, there are less than 20 people with a god’s true name!]
‘Yeah, keep talking!’
I was already hundreds of meters up in the air . The mighty wind whirling around my spear and body was so powerful that it was hard to see with the naked eye . However, I wasn’t done yet .
“Gigant!”2
The pressure on my arms instantly became stronger . Even with the stats, gods’ true names, tattoos, and strength from Chaotic Spear, it is hard to use Gigant . I could tell that I could only last about 2 minutes with this enlarged spear .
Thankfully, that was more than enough to finish off the basilisk .
“Sky God’s Rage!”
BOOM!
A golden lightning descended on the long and thick Chaotic Spear . The wind energy gathered from Gale Track changed its property through Sharana’s influence and began to empower Sky God’s Rage further . The lightning energy instantly became amplified, dying the clear sky in a golden hue . The lightning spear immediately grabbed everyone’s attention .
[I knew it, he’s a holder of a god’s true name!]
[Who is that bastard!? No, what is this guild!?]
[E-Eh…? Wait… The 1st place for guild contribution! It might get stolen!]
[Hey, stop! Getting 1st place over the host?]
[Did anyone tell them?]
[They said they were all Gold ranked! Would you have told them!?]
[Hurry up and kill the basilisk before he attacks!]
[Please, if it were that easy, god’s power wouldn’t have been necessary!]
It was already hard to just kill it together, but it seemed there was some rule . Explorers sure liked to make things difficult… Of course, it was none of my business .
“Peika, come into the spear!”
[Kyahaha! It has an incredible energy, Master!]
The lightning was strengthened once again . I found it hard to keep my eyes open . However, I couldn’t stop now . I forced my eyes open and tightened my grip on the enlarged Sky God’s Rage spear . Then, as I descended toward the roaring basilisk, I shouted .
“I’ll be the one to take its head!”
[You used Orc Lord’s Warcry! All party members are cleansed of negative status effects . All party members’ attack power increases by 50 percent for the duration . All party members become super-armored, unfazed by enemy attacks . ]
Then, I activated the effect of Twin-headed Ogre’s Tattoo, which boosted the damage of a close-ranged attack skill by 50% once a day . Even though I was wearing armor, Twin-headed Ogre’s Tattoo appeared above it and glowed with a crimson light . Feeling the incoming threat, the basilisk shot a petrifying breath toward me, but it was blocked by the force of Sky God’s Rage .
I became a streak of a crimson comet and shot down toward the basilisk .
As it was the final blow of a charge skill, my armor, and Giant Wolf’s Tattoo boosted the damage by 110%, Gale Track boosted the damage by 200%, Orc Lord’s Warcry boosted the damage by 50%, and finally, Twin-headed Ogre’s Tattoo boosted the damage by 50% . In total, the attack just now was increased by 410% . Of course, as that was just the increase, the actual damage I did was 510% . There was no need to describe its destructive power .
I wasn’t done . I added Heroic Strike on top of everything . I scraped together every bit of mana in my body and poured it into my spear . As I swallowed the Mana Potion I had prepared in my mouth, I shouted .
“Divine Speed!”
My already unfollowable speed became not three times, but ten times faster . There was no chance for the basilisk to dodge my attack . I took the basilisk’s petrifying gaze without being fazed, and struck my spear down on its forehead!
[Critical Hit!]
It was very fortunate . After all, the basilisk undoubtedly had bones! With Skull Breaker’s effect, all critical damage was increased by 50% . As critical hits normally dealt 200% of the normal amount, with the Skull Breaker title’s effect, the attack was amplified to 300%! I found it funny that I was playing with numbers so much, but the result wasn’t funny in the slightest .
[Kugyaaaaaa!]
Once the spear collided with its forehead, it discharged the lightning of ultimate strength and pierced through its head . The spear, which was dozens of meters long, split the basilisk’s head into two! The basilisk barely squeezed out its death throe before it became silent . From its split head, it no longer emitted the petrifying breath or gaze .
Immediately afterward, the armor left on its body detonated . Its body became dust and disappeared .
The SS+ rank 500-man raid boss was finished .
