I often got annoyed whenever I met Chungwang in the game.

This ruined guy has never died comfortably.

Quick fight?

That goes without saying.

Because no one would want to fight the guy while being surrounded by countless monsters.

But that’s easier said than done.

Game companies have always tried to figure out players’ intentions and exploit them in various ways.

And hand sealing was one of those things.

A skill that greatly increases defense, and if you make a mistake, can even fully restore the health of a boss that you just defeated.

The player must break that shell and somehow get the King back out.

“Phew.”

To be honest, things weren’t very good.

Although I had prepared the plan thoroughly, I simply did not have enough time to grow.

Even after coming this far, I couldn’t guarantee that I would definitely win.

It’s definitely not good, but it’s not the worst either.

‘Still, we’re more than halfway there.’

Molting is a skill he can only use once every few years.

That means that this will probably be the last of the guy’s survival stories.

Boom! Boom!

Beyond the walls of the audience room, the sound of countless insects knocking on the walls could be heard. They were still struggling hard to protect their king.

There’s no telling when that wall will be breached.

One important thing is that what I have to do hasn’t changed.

Defeat King Chung as quickly as possible.

The goal remained the same.

“Lily, prepare your magic. The most powerful and fastest one.”

“Whoa, haa··· Wait a minute. Do you think I’m some kind of magic-shooting, all-purpose machine?!”

Lily, who was drinking a mana potion, suddenly became irritated.

Perhaps because she had used so much magic, her complexion looked a little haggard. Not only that, but Camilla and Adele were also sweating profusely.

In many ways, our party is also tired.

“Wait a minute, look over there!”

“The summoning circle is gradually becoming blurry.”

But it wasn’t all bad news.

The three summoning circles that King Chung had created were dispelled.

As I need to focus on recovery, other magic is temporarily canceled.

“We’re going to change formation a little bit now. Everyone, stick to this spot and attack that guy quickly.”

I told the party members.

The reason I’ve been handling Chungwang alone up until now is because they could be in danger.

I’m okay because I have a tolerance for poison and I know all their patterns, but they don’t.

I had pushed them back, careful not to cause any injuries.

But now things have changed.

The current situation requires overwhelming attack power.

If we can get that bastard out of there as quickly as possible, we have a chance of winning.

From then on, we all joined forces and started attacking Chungwang’s pupa. The defense barrier, which had only been slightly damaged by my attacks, began to break through little by little as the four of us attacked together.

However, their overall specs, including attack power, are still somewhat superior.

“Sigh-!”

Crunch!

Camilla lets out a short moan and slashes her sword down.

Her sword cut through the sandworm’s tough skin.

As a true Sword Auror user, she was able to land a solid blow, even if it took some time.

“Go ahead and mess with it!”

The magic of the trimmed lily was fired indiscriminately.

The sharp, sharp winds mercilessly cut through Chungwang’s chitinous armor.

Although the power of each of them was not enough to penetrate the armor, when dozens of them were piled up, the armor gradually collapsed.

So what’s left are the thorns of the dimensional bugs that surround him like a fence. They are strong enough to easily withstand the sword of a knight.

They are actually the most annoying ones, but I just put my hands on their thorns every now and then.

Whether the thorn is hard or not, in the end it is also a type of life.

And since it is alive, there will be blood flowing within it.

[Cast ‘Blood Absorption’!]

Swish.

As if I was being pulled by gravity, their blood gradually rushed into my body. It was eating away at the energy they had.

When I had sucked out some of their energy, I swung my sword at them.

Whisper!

The thorn wall that had been protecting him was cut down more easily than expected.

Camilla sees that and quietly mutters something.

“Certainly, black magic does help···.”

What, they haven’t even shown it properly yet.

That’s what I was thinking about.

Suddenly, something strange happened.

bang!

A hole appeared in the wall, and bugs started pouring in.

It also meant that the pile of rocks that had been blocking them until now was slowly reaching the end of its lifespan.

Hundreds and thousands of monsters and bugs begin to gradually infest the audience room.

The party members were momentarily taken aback and asked.

“Ouch! It’s broken! It’s broken!”

“Warrior! What should we do now!”

“What should I do? I have to kill this Balkan guy right now!”

I said that and hurriedly swung my sword.

From now on, the situation will turn unfavorable in an instant.

The sheer number of insects pouring in was enough to crush us to death.

Of course, if you make a significant effort, how can you stop it······.

The best way was to end Balkan’s life before that.

The swung sword flies towards the last remaining barrier, the bandage. I will cut the guy down with that bandage.

But before that, King Chung moved quickly.

widely!

In an instant, the bastard’s hand moves and blocks my holy sword.

The bandage, which had become hard as it was, gave me the defensive power to block my blow, if only for a moment.

Damn it!

Between the gradually breaking bandages, King Chung’s eyes shone fiercely.

“You guys are really··· short-tempered.”

The bastard’s body was still covered in wounds. His arms were full of living organs, and there was a long stab wound on his abdomen.

However, all other serious injuries were healed.

He came out on his own when the situation became urgent.

Thanks to that, I wasn’t able to completely heal my wounds… but at least I was able to continue fighting.

“Fuck.”

I gritted my teeth.

As expected, it has become too strong.

Even though he was the toughest of the four Heavenly Kings that came out first, his specs were too high.

Usually, right before a monster attacks, I somehow manage to drive it to the brink of death… but this time, it only ended in serious injury.

A sense of urgency arises naturally.

But the more it happened, the more I encouraged myself.

It’s okay. Right now, we need to stay calm.

Although there were more delays than originally anticipated, it was still within the expected range.

You just have to keep doing what you were doing before.

“Change formation again. Just like before, block the bugs as much as possible. Lily, prepare a strong magic spell and shoot it at Chungwang. ”

“Are you kidding me? How are you going to stop that much water!”

“What if we don’t stop it? Are we all going to die here together?”

“···Ugh.”

Camilla let out a sigh.

It wasn’t a question of can or can’t.

If we don’t do it, we die. As each second passes, our end draws nearer.

I said, taking a mana potion out of my bag.

“I don’t expect you to block everything. Just block as much as possible.”

Fortunately, the guy is not normal either. He used his only survival kit, and he lost most of his guards, the thorn bugs.

Although time is very limited, it is worth it.

Thinking like that, I cast a skill.

After thinking about the price and reward, he mutters quietly.

“···I sacrifice two of my fingers to increase my physical abilities for a certain amount of time.”

At that moment, two fingers on my left hand disappeared.

Push!

As blood spurted out, a burning pain pierced my mind. Perhaps because the situation was so urgent, fortunately none of the party members saw me.

Kkuddukk.

At the same time, my body became stronger. An unknown strength surged throughout my body.

Just worth two fingers.

As I said last time, the value that is played back doesn’t provide much compensation.

As such, the increase in ability level was only felt to be a tiny amount.

but.

‘Where is that?’

Nowadays, even that speck of dust is precious.

Aside from the value that would be permanently damaged, this was the most I could use.

So I ran at the guy again.

I see the frowning face of the guy. His guard, the thorn bug, is no longer there.

“Ugh, hurry and protect me!!!”

Instead, the guy chose a different approach.

He used some of the insects that were swarming like a flood as his own shield.

The party members were trying hard to block them, but with only four people, it wasn’t enough to stop the guys who were coming in like a flood.

“What a tough kid.”

I swung my sword without paying any attention.

Some blows only killed a few monsters, while others even made contact with their skin.

It has to be broken through. Any number has to be broken through.

Since some time ago, that one thought has filled my head.

Then, at one moment,

“Wrong! This can’t be stopped!”

“Coolook···!”

“Adele? Adele! Yulysse, please clean this place up!”

Boom! Boom!

The passages that Lily had blocked were opening up again and again.

The amount of incoming bugs and monsters has been multiplied.

I kept swinging my sword.
