Chapter 275: Cold Love (3)
Mavros' magic was not a weak attack that could be dismissed. While he might be a mini-dragon and not a full-sized dragon, even a miniature version of the mighty dragon, the race that created all magic, was undoubtedly immensely powerful.
The Magma Giant turned around and aimed a fist at Mavros.
Fwaaaaah!
“Kieeeek!”
Mavros stuck his tongue out and sneered at the boss monster before executing an evasive maneuver to dodge the flying fist of magma.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Magma Giant stomped its feet in anger after failing to shoot down the annoying mini-dragon. Its expression remained relatively unchanged, but its actions clearly indicated its growing annoyance with Mavros.
Fwaaaah!
Suddenly, the Magma Giant raised its other arm and hurled magma fists from both hands toward Mavros.
“Kiek?!” Mavros flinched upon seeing the two magma fists, but that was only the beginning of the boss monster’s onslaught.
Shwiiiik!
“Kieeek?!”
Dozens of magma balls rained down from the sky toward Mavros, covering such a wide area that there was no escape for the mini-dragon.
“How foolish.”
Chwaaaak!
‘Chain Smite!’
Bam! Kwachik!
“Gwuuu Oooh!”
Han-Yeol’s Chain Smite hit the Magma Giant’s malleolus[1] in a clean, accurate hit.
The Tamra raid party had a monopoly on the Magma Giant. It wasn't that other raid parties couldn't attempt to raid it, but rather that they didn't have access to it.
This was precisely why the Tamra raid party members freely discussed the boss monster's weaknesses without any worries. After all, even if the others heard about its weaknesses, it wasn't as if they could actually raid the boss monster.
‘Well, I’m benefitting from their big mouths,’ Han-Yeol thought.
Bam!
The Magma Giant's imposing charisma, which it displayed when it first appeared, was nowhere to be found as it helplessly collapsed to the ground.
It appeared that targeting the boss monster's weak spot had a tremendous impact, with much credit going to Han-Yeol's powerful attack.
“Mavros!”
“Kieeeek!”
Wooong!
Mavros opened his mouth wide at Han-Yeol's command, and a large green magic circle, encompassing the entire Baeknokdam, materialized above him. This was the new magic Mavros had learned through frequent hunts with Han-Yeol.
"Mavros! Poison Rain!"
"Kieeeeek!"
Mavros concentrated all of his mana in his heart and released it. The green magic circle in the sky responded to his mana, conjuring tens of thousands of green arrows that rained down upon the Magma Giant.
Shwoo! Shwoo! Shwoo! Shwoo! Shwoo!
This highly poisonous skill packed a significant punch. Even Han-Yeol didn't want to get anywhere near the magic circle while it rained down those green arrows. Not only were there numerous arrows descending from the sky, but even a graze from one of them could prove lethal.
Wooong!
Mavros' new skill was so poisonous that the scent of it clung to the Magma Giant's body.
"Kiek! Pfft!" Mavros proudly scoffed after finishing his skill.
'Is it dead?' Han-Yeol wondered as he cautiously peeked out after the rain of poisonous arrows had ended.
Fsshh...!
The entire Baeknokdam was filled with the stench of poison, and the entire area had taken on a shade of green distinct from the surrounding vegetation.
"Phew... That was amazing, Mavros." Han-Yeol couldn't help but be amazed at the immense destruction Mavros had caused.
However, the boss monster still seemed to be alive since the system message that would usually appear in front of Han-Yeol’s eyes had not shown up yet. In other words, it was definitely still alive since the system hadn't confirmed the kill.
"Gwuu Oooh..."
"As expected," Han-Yeol muttered as he watched the boss monster stagger back to its feet.
Still, Mavros' skill had inflicted significant damage as the Magma Giant appeared to be in a bad state. Its once-bulky frame had deflated, and numerous parts of its body were missing.
"Do you want to continue the fight?" Han-Yeol asked.
"Kiek!" Mavros flew behind him and struck a victorious pose.
"Gwuuu..."
The two monsters seemed to be communicating with each other. The Magma Giant appeared obviously enraged, but it was in no condition to respond, given its severe physical damage.
"This is getting boring. Let's finish it."
Chwaaak!
Han-Yeol pulled his chain back before swinging it toward the Magma Giant.
Shwiiiiik!
The chain, imbued with Cold Chain, coiled itself around the boss monster's neck like a snake.
"Gwuoh?!" The Magma Giant struggled to free itself from the coiled chain around its neck.
"Kiek!"
Bam!
However, Mavros shot a Poison Arrow at its hand to prevent it from touching the chain. That was all he needed to do, as Han-Yeol was going to handle everything else from here.
Chwak!
"Greuk?" The Magma Giant realized something was amiss.
'Chain Smite.'
Chwaaak!
Pukeok!
Han-Yeol employed Chain Smite to strike the Magma Giant with the hammer attached to the chain, and he promptly pulled the chain, further constricting the boss monster's neck.
The Magma Giant's weakened neck began to freeze from the Cold Chain, eventually freezing and shattering into pieces.
Thud!
The boss monster's large head dropped to the ground.
'I won.'
Finally, it was the end of the boss monster.
Ding!
[You have successfully killed the boss monster of the Mount Halla hunting ground, the Magma Giant.]
‘Phew...’
The raid wasn't particularly difficult, even though the Magma Giant was among the top-tier boss monsters in South Korea's three most challenging hunting grounds.
While the Magma Giant was undoubtedly a powerful boss, it posed no real threat against the combined might of Han-Yeol and his overwhelmingly powerful monster pet, Mavros. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to label these two as 'overpowered.'
However, the most crucial message had yet to arrive.
Ding!
[You have leveled up.]
Finally, Han-Yeol reached Level 300.
[You have successfully achieved your second awakening.]
‘Yes! Finally!’
The long-awaited second awakening had finally arrived. This marked Han-Yeol's first experience with his second awakening, as he hadn't undergone it during his time as Harkan.
Han-Yeol wasn't entirely sure why this was the case, but he had a theory that it might be because Harkan's body was merely inhabited by Han-Yeol's soul and didn't possess the same game-like abilities.
However, that was not the case for Han-Yeol himself. His game-like ability allowed him to continually grow stronger, and even the sky wouldn't be his limit.
‘Let's see... I wonder what changed after the second awakening...?’ Han-Yeol wondered as he was about to check his status screen, but a sudden voice in his head interrupted him.
[Can you hear me, Han-Yeol-nim?]
