Two days have passed since the children dealt with the boss monster ‘Medusa’.

It’s not like the baby monster appeared for no reason.

We were able to arrive near the hatchery with exactly as much damage as expected and with as much power preserved as possible.

‘We’re finally here.’

All that remained now was an all-out attack to destroy the hatchery.

However, the number of monsters surrounding the hatchery was greater than expected, probably due to the commotion that had been going on in the contaminated area all the way here.

Basically, the area around the hatchery is protected by a circle of monsters, but as various additional monsters came in and roamed around, it became so large that it seemed like a monster wave.

‘The best scenario is to drill through one side, quickly destroy the hatchery, and then fall in.’

If the hatchery is destroyed, monsters will be busy trying to clean it up.

When they don’t have time to chase us, they hit and run.

But this wasn’t as easy as it sounds.

Tadak-taddak-

I sat down in front of the bonfire, blanked out for the first time in a long time, and had a moment of relaxation without thinking about anything.

When your mind is busy, spending time alone without interruption is as sweet as honey.

‘If it were somewhere else, it would have an atmosphere where you could find some romance.’

However, after entering the contaminated zone, there were many problems in thinking about the good things like romance.

Wherever you look, the trees and thick bushes that have been transformed by pollution and have a terrible appearance prevent you from becoming immersed in emotion.

‘Romance is shit… .’

I think the only place where you can find romance in a polluted zone is by looking at the sky.

This is because the sky was so beautiful that the stars poured down to the ground.

‘I want to leave quickly.’

Perhaps the imperial family and nobles’ punitive forces are in shambles.

Even the soldiers who were familiar with the contaminated zone by steadily clearing the front lines were homesick and depressed, and there was no way that the punitive force, which was made up of awakened people who had been in the contaminated zone for a long time, could have maintained their sanity.

‘There is no answer from the top, but the people below also have no answer.’

Now only the notice remains.

If this place is destroyed, the over-the-top conquest will end successfully.

“Damon.”

After gathering my thoughts while zoning out by the campfire, I called Damon over and made it bigger.

Currently, dawn is breaking.

Now that the nocturnal monsters had begun to sleep was the perfect time to scout.

“let’s go.”

Damon, who managed to get his share of Medusa’s lower body, seemed to be full of energy these days, so when I told him to go, he flapped his wings and flew up into the sky.

“Be as quiet as possible.”

-Being quiet is a spirit’s specialty. You’re probably the only one who tells the spirits to be quiet, right?

There is no sign of the spirit.

It has an excellent ability to move quietly.

As I rode the Damon, the hatchery was soon revealed.

The shell appears to have been broken and discarded, as if it had hatched once more in a short period of time.

Newborn chicks get nutrients by eating shells directly, but it seems that not all monsters eat shells that way.

‘Are there some people who eat meat as soon as they are born?’

On one side, there were remains of what appeared to be animal bones.

‘Because of the pollution, animals must have turned into monsters, and it looks like they are eating them. Well, since the cubs are growing up, they will eat a lot.’

As I looked around the hatchery, small-sized monsters that looked like chicks came into view.

I felt disgusted when I saw the babies sleeping together.

That’s because those things looked quite cute even though they were babies.

But in the end, they are all monsters at their core.

If it’s in front of you, it’s clear that it will try to tear you to death.

‘When seen from a distance, it looks very wary, but surprisingly, there doesn’t seem to be much change inside. ‘Aren’t you planning on letting the babies escape somewhere else?’

The worst case scenario is that you work hard to kill monsters and arrive at the hatchery, but the hatchery disappears leaving only chaff behind.

But the monster’s head didn’t seem to work that well.

If we continue like this, we will be able to safely destroy the hatchery.

The last thing to check was the location of the boss monster.

‘There must be a boss monster guarding this place… .’

Of course, even in the part where you destroy the hatchery, there is a boss monster.

It is a bit difficult because it is a boss monster that will appear later rather than at the beginning of the main scenario.

However, the children successfully solved the stages that had to be solved to get to this point.

Additionally, the mid-boss, Medusa, was captured brilliantly.

‘It’s a game you have no choice but to win in the first place. The fraudulent part is that there is no limit to the number of party members.’

This is exactly what I believed in.

In the future, the number of grown SSR characters will increase, and unlike in the game where there is a limit to the number of characters to deal with monsters, in reality there was no limited number of parties.

‘Dozens of SSR characters form a party and play Daguri, so what kind of monster can withstand it?’

It is foolish to invest in something that has no chance of success.

The reason I brought the soldiers here was because I was confident of success.

“Go over there. “I think there’s something there.”

-this way?

I showed Damon the direction and moved slightly, and the boss monster that had been hidden in the surrounding terrain finally came into view.

‘Wow, it’s even worse in reality.’

The guy’s skin was infested with all kinds of bugs.

The mud monster, which gave the impression that it had been roughly fashioned into a living creature by clumping together sewage, had its eyes closed, ignoring all the bugs on its skin.

It had bumpy skin and color reminiscent of a toad, and the skin was soggy and disgusting as if it were mixed with unidentifiable dirt.

‘It’s terrible, the kids will be disgusted if they have to deal with that.’

Kids are people too, and they don’t like it when you tell them to attack something like that.

Just looking at it makes people feel bad.

“Let’s go back.”

I saw everything there was to see.

※ ※ ※

I relayed the news to Thalia, and then I relayed information to the children about the monsters they had to fight.

It hadn’t even been a few days since the fight with Medusa, but the children’s eyes lit up and they showed interest in the new conversation they had with each other.

Even though it was hard enough to die at the time, it remains as a good memory when you look back on it later, and Medusa has already become such a memory for the children.

And the children who had experienced the thrilling sense of accomplishment of accomplishing a difficult task were overcome by a desire to take on the challenge of wanting to feel that way again.

“Are the monsters we have to deal with so disgusting?”

“It’s disgusting and it won’t be easy to deal with.”

“What exactly does disgusting mean? “Do you think it’s ugly?”

“It’s not just that it’s ugly, it’s that it’s dirty.”

“Ugh!”

“Dirty? “I definitely don’t like that.”

He cried when I told him that the children were dirty.

“Plus, there are bugs crawling all over her body.”

“!!!!!”

“I hate it!!!”

“Kyaak! “I hate bugs!”

When the children heard that they were bugs, they immediately realized what the ‘disgust’ I was talking about was and screamed.

“If you don’t catch it, no one will. “You know.”

“Hey! “Can’t we just destroy the hatchery instead of catching them?”

Ariando says he doesn’t like it and grabs my arm and throws a tantrum.

“no. “If she’s there, the hatchery will just move to another location and be built again.”

“Kwaang!”

“For your information, it will be more than what you imagine. So, give up.”

Each stage has its own compatibility, and there are characters needed to conquer it.

If that was the creator’s intention, the player has no choice but to follow.

If we were going to go beyond the scenario order and bring the kids to a place with a high level of difficulty, we needed to at least create an environment where the kids could conquer it without any problems.

“Do you really think I would send you away with my bare hands, knowing that you hate me?”

“Is there some way to kill it quickly?”

“Are you going to tell me what to do with the monster this time, like the monster before?”

It was the same when I was hunting Medusa, but during that time, I passed on my knowledge about monsters to my children.

Thanks to this, I have become nothing short of a monster expert to the children.

It is only natural to expect information to kill the boss monster this time.

“Of course there is information that will help us attack.”

“Is this a way to catch it as quickly as possible?!”

“No, it just tells you what kind of abilities he uses.”

“eww… .”

The kids, who were clearly disappointed, were embarrassed and played a prank.

“What? The reaction is not cool? “Then do you want to do it right away without listening to anything at all?”

“evil! No!”

“No, you have to tell me!”

If you don’t listen to anything, it will be much harder to catch him.

While catching Medusa this time, the children must have truly felt how big the difference is between having information and not having it.

He was taken aback by my words and immediately threw up his hands saying no.

I’m the only one who’s ever killed that guy in the game.

There is a big difference between starting after looking at the strategy and starting without knowing what abilities to use.

“First, let me explain what kind of guy that guy is. Listen carefully and keep it in your mind.”

“Yes!!”

“First of all, that guy absorbs the impact of any attack with his body.”

“omg.”

“Absorb shock? “Then how do you kill him?”

“You have to inflict so much damage that it can’t be absorbed.”

To be precise, the easiest way is to absorb the shock and then rupture the victim’s stomach and kill it.

Having experienced it once with the mid-boss Medusa, I had faith that I would be able to do well against the tough bosses as well.

“You tried it once. Attack all at once.”

“Ah…Is it okay to do the same thing this time as we did back then?”

The children seemed relieved to hear that they were trying a tactic they had already tried.

“But the level of difficulty will be a little higher.”

“If it’s even harder, does he also use strange abilities like that snake head?”

“huh.”

Of course.

There is no way a true boss won’t do what a mid-boss does.
