Chapter 266: Second Awakening (6)
“Haaaap!”
Bam!
A loud sound thundered the moment Mujahid’s fist struck the boss monster, but it wasn't just a powerful attack; the boss monster realized that its body was suddenly unresponsive after being punched.
“Gwuoh?”
It attempted to take a step forward, but its body simply wouldn't obey.
"Haha! Where do you think you're going?"
Tia suddenly appeared out of nowhere and secured the boss monster's legs to the ground with her spider webs.
Initially, she had no intention of getting involved in the battle, but she decided to help after observing that Han-Yeol seemed to have a strategy to deal with it.
The spider web she used to bind the boss monster's legs wasn't the poisonous web she typically employed, but rather the highly durable web utilized by certain spider species.
Chwak! Chwak! Chwak! Chwak!
"Hoho~ It looks like a cute larva from this angle~"
"Gwuoook!"
The boss monster appeared determined to free itself by tearing apart the spider web.
[I won’t let you!]
[...]
Shwooong... Kwaaang!
There was no way the two Master Rank Hunters were going to sit idly by and watch the boss monster free itself.
Han-Yeol was slightly taken aback after witnessing Tia bind the boss monster, but he saw this as an excellent opportunity. It was clear to him that defeating the boss with sheer strength alone was impossible, which is why he decided to channel Restore.
However, the boss monster seemed to have caught on to his plan and ignored everything else, focusing solely on him. Fortunately, Tia intervened at just the right moment, restricting the boss monster's movement.
"Hoho~ This is why humans are considered weak creatures that need assistance to survive~"
The Arachnids had a very intricate way of thinking, and the same could be said for Tia.
“Gwuuu Oooook!”
Creak...!
The boss monster tried to take another step forward to cut the spider web.
“Hoho~ Where are you going?”
Chwak! Chwak! Chwak!
“Haaap!”
Kwaaang!
Tia shot out more spider webs, while Mujahid and Tayarana unleashed their attacks.
Shwak! Shwak!
"Oh~ You look so good when you flinch and squirm like that~"
The boss monster failed for the second time to cut the spider webs restricting its movements. However, the additional spider webs shot out by Tia made it even more challenging for it to move.
"Gwuok!" the boss monster let out a frustrated roar, seemingly devising a way to break free from the spider webs.
'Hmm?'
Tia's sharp senses detected this sudden change in the boss monster's behavior. Her senses were so keen that she noticed almost everything happening around her, and she knew it was only a matter of time before it broke free from her webs.
'Hurry up, master...'
She had already done her part, leaving it to Han-Yeol to come up with a plan to defeat the boss monster.
***
Woooong!
A powerful yet beautiful mana began to emanate from Han-Yeol, and the white luster it emitted imbued it with a holy aura.
'If Restore is the creature's weakness, then I just have to weaponize it...'
Han-Yeol wasn't merely focused on defeating the boss monster; he was contemplating what lay ahead.
'We will frequently clash with the hyenas once Earth becomes a second dimension. I'll have a significant advantage against them if I know their weaknesses beforehand.'
Wooooong!
'Keuk!'
Regrettably, it wasn't easy for him to control his healing ability, something he had never attempted before. Taming the healing skill proved quite challenging, and the fact that the mechanics of white mana differed from those of blue mana only compounded the difficulty.
'I won't give up just because it's difficult!'
Han-Yeol was no longer the same twenty-nine-year-old Lee Han-Yeol. While only a few seconds might have passed in real time, he had lived for two decades in the Bastro Dimension, even reaching the pinnacle as its Dimension Lord.
'Stay down and listen to my command!'
With all his strength, Han-Yeol attempted to control Restore.
Wooooong!
Then, the mana that had been spreading around him suddenly dissipated like a mirage.
"Greuk... Greuk...!"
The boss monster sneered, sensing that the threatening mana had vanished, thinking that the human had failed to control it.
Han-Yeol might have felt extremely annoyed seeing that arrogant, smug smirk on the grotesque monster's face, but he couldn't care less about what the monster was doing at the moment, completely distracted by the flood of messages cascading in front of his eyes.
Ding!
[You have acquired a new power: Light Mana.]
[A creature possessing Light Mana in the first dimension is akin to a god.]
[Obtaining Light Mana is usually only possible once your dimension has entered the second stage.]
[The Balancer of Dimensions salutes you for your extraordinary achievement.]
[Your name will be immortalized in the annals of dimensional history.]
‘W-What the hell just happened...?’ Han-Yeol was utterly bewildered by the flurry of messages.
He had been attempting to control Restore's mana to defeat the boss monster and gain the power to exploit the hyena race's weakness later on. However, he never could have imagined in his wildest dreams what he would achieve in the process.
Ironically, this was not the end of his surprises.
Ding!
[The rank of ‘Restore’ has risen.][ref]Rank was not mentioned so I had to leave it at this.]
[A new skill has been created: Light Attribute (F)]
[A new skill has been created: Light Exorcist Sword (F)]
‘Huh?’ Han-Yeol had anticipated gaining new skills, but he never expected to acquire precisely the skills he needed for his current situation.
It felt as though someone was watching over him, providing him with precisely the skills required.
‘Wow... This is too good to be a coincidence...’
[I concur, Han-Yeol-nim.]
‘Hey, Karvis.’
[I believe the time to conclude this battle has arrived.]
‘I agree.’
Shwiiik...
It was precisely as Karvis had stated. It was now time to bring this battle to an end since Han-Yeol had already acquired the skill he desired.
"Great job, Tia."
"Hoho~ Just hurry up and finish this, master. We've been battling for thirty hours already, and I'd like to go home and freshen up."
“Hahaha! Alright, alright.”
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!
Tia withdrew as she was no longer required after successfully restraining the boss monster's movement. She understood this better than anyone else and thus burrowed into the ground, reappearing beside the Egyptian Hunters.
