Chapter 262: Second Awakening (2)
This was a hunting ground where even Master Ground Hunters brought their guild or raid party members along with them, yet she was alone.
[Han-Yeol.]
[Yeah?]
[Heal.]
[Oh!]
Han-Yeol completely forgot the reason why he was an overpowered Hunter.
As Han-Yeol placed his palm between her chest and abdomen, Tayarana felt a chill. It was obvious that she would feel cold, given that her suit was made of some sort of special material that felt cold to the touch.
Badump! Badump! Badump! Badump!
However, Han-Yeol did not feel cold at all; his heart started thumping wildly once he touched her cold hard suit. The thought of the princess wearing such a suit felt erotic to him for some reason.
Han-Yeol had always admired female knights ever since he was young, and he purposely searched for porn depicting medieval settings where a female knight fornicated with a noble.
He was not a pervert; it was just that every man had their own fetish when it came to porn.
[Han-Yeol...?] Tayarana called out after Han-Yeol froze upon placing his hand near her chest.
Han-Yeol instantly blushed upon hearing her voice and kept his head down to avoid showing his reddened face. He wondered, ‘W-What's wrong with me...?’
Countless people had touched Tayarana's Horus Suit, regardless of whether they were male or female, and she wasn't bothered by it, as she was wearing the suit anyway.
However, it felt different the moment Han-Yeol laid his hands on her. She could feel her face starting to turn red, and it suddenly began to feel warm inside the suit, even though it automatically regulated her temperature.
‘Haa... Haa...’
She began to breathe heavily, but she didn't want to reveal this side of herself to Han-Yeol. Eventually, she had to close her visor to conceal her face.
Chwak!
‘Restore...’
Woooong!
Han-Yeol, after calming himself down, used his skill to heal Tayarana’s wounds.
Restore might not replenish the target's mana, but that didn't matter since Tayarana's mana recovery was far better than anyone else's.
[Thanks, Han-Yeol,] Tayarana muttered, her voice slightly shaking.
Unfortunately, Han-Yeol was preoccupied with his own troubles and failed to notice the change in her voice.
[Oh, d-don't mention it... This is the least I can do for you,] he replied.
Similarly, Tayarana failed to notice the change in his voice as she was preoccupied with trying to calm herself down too.
It was not surprising that the atmosphere became extremely awkward between them.
‘Tsk tsk... both of them can be quite frustrating sometimes,’ Mujahid thought as he shook his head.
He could already tell that there was something between the two, which was quite surprising since he was usually dense when it came to reading Mariam's feelings.
“Gwuuu Eeeeeek!”
Bam!
The giant monster's transformation was complete.
Wooooooong!
It spread its filthy, vile mana all over the place.
Bam!
It shifted its weight onto one leg, crushing half of the city hall building as if it were a sandcastle.
Bam! Thud!
Despite losing its balance and landing on its butt, it still towered over Han-Yeol and the others standing on the rooftop of the partially destroyed city hall building.
“Wow... That thing’s huge...” Tia muttered.
“Kieeeeek!” Mavros shrieked as if to show he was unafraid of the gigantic monster.
‘Yeah, I have Mavros, who’s definitely stronger than before, and Tia on my side. I’m no longer the same Hunter,’ Han-Yeol thought.
He was much stronger overall compared to the time when the Horus raid party fought against the Thousand Armed Bodhisattva, but he wasn't the only one who had grown stronger.
Chwak!
Mavros had significantly improved since the Thousand Armed Bodhisattva raid, and Han-Yeol had also acquired a new monster pet, the Arachnid named Tia.
It wasn't just Han-Yeol's group that had become stronger; Tayarana had now achieved the rank of Master Hunter too.
‘We can win.’
Han-Yeol felt confident that they could defeat the boss monster.
“Gwuuu Ooooh!”
Shwik!
The boss monster took a swipe at the party without any warning.
[It’s coming!]
[I’ll go first!]
Shwooom!
Tayarana spread her wings and soared into the sky.
[Tara!]
Han-Yeol considered stopping her but decided against it. As long as the boss monster's aggro was focused on Tayarana, Mujahid and the other Hunters would remain safe, creating opportunities for them to deal damage whenever there was an opening in the boss monster's defense.
“Mavros!”
“Kiek!”
Of course, that didn't mean Han-Yeol was going to stand around and let her do most of the work. n-)0velBIn
"Get on!" he told Tia.
"Hoho~ Don't worry about me, master~ I'm going to show that monster what a real ambush is," Tia replied coyly.
Han-Yeol felt relieved after seeing her confidence. Tia was quite dependable at times like this, and she felt like an older sister to Han-Yeol, who had lost his elder sister at an early age due to his parents' divorce.
“Be careful.”
“Hoho~ Don’t worry about me~”
“Alright, let’s go, Mavros!”
“Kieeeek!”
Chwaaak!
Mavros spread his wings at Han-Yeol's signal and then took off with a resounding boom! He ascended into the air, twisted his body, and vigorously flapped his wings, generating another deafening boom! as he soared toward the boss monster.
“Eat this! Mana Explosion!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Han-Yeol didn't bother launching a few simple attacks to gauge the enemy's strength. Instead, he unleashed three full blasts from his shoulder cannons at the boss monster's face.
He targeted the boss monster's face because it was the best area to gain a monster's aggro, a tactic typically reserved for the Tanker in the group. However, Han-Yeol was free to strike the monster's face since the concept of position no longer applied to him as a Master Rank Hunter.
Seuk... Boom!
‘Oh? This thing isn't as tough as it looks,’ Han-Yeol thought as he witnessed the boss monster lift its arm to block the powerful mana shells, even though its attention remained fixed on Tayarana.
‘This isn't going to be easy.’
Han-Yeol instinctively knew that this would be a long and challenging battle. However, he had no intention of stopping because of that. It was now time for him to give the boss monster the warm welcome it deserved.
“Mavros! Poison Spear!”
“Kyaaaahk...!”
