World Boss

Marang-i, back in her original form, started a massacre that went beyond mere domination.

As the Demon King who would bring the end of this world, she showed her true colors as a World Boss.

With every wave of her hand, dealer users not wearing the Leo-Re final gear died instantly without even a chance to heal, and tank users wearing the final gear died helplessly if they didn’t use their survival skills.

With nearly double the damage coming in, tanks, dealers, and healers alike began to fall.

They clearly thought they had the upper hand, but suddenly Arang-i changed from a loli to an adult, and while they were initially taken aback by Arang-i’s growth, they were then shocked by her power.

‘You think I’m a lolicon? No way! I just like cute things! What is “cute,” anyway? Usually, cuteness comes from smallness. Big things can be cute too. But if they look the same, the small version is cuter than the big one. That’s the truth, that’s the law of nature. Creatures that survived because they were cute were almost all small. Why? Because they were much cuter because they were small. Plus, all magical girl stuff is small, cute, and about students. Why is that? Because small is cute!’

Emma casually ignored Reina’s crazy rant and took over command in her stead.

She quickly instructed the remaining tank users to switch between survival skills and invincibility skills.

They were barely, barely managing to hold on, but a problem arose.

Normally, when a user dies, they explode into particles, dying in a game-like way. No corpses are left behind, and no blood flows gruesomely.

No blood is shed, and the attacked area turns red to indicate damage, and when they die, they simply explode prettily, so to speak.

It prevents both the viewer and the person experiencing it from feeling revulsion towards death.

Outside, some even spewed out strange articles claiming that such things made people accustomed to death, leading to increased suicide rates.

However, when a user died from Marang-i-more precisely, when they came into contact with the black liquid from Marang-i’s attacks-their entire body turned into black liquid and was absorbed by Marang-i, an effect that replaced the usual death animation.

It was clear to anyone watching that Marang-i was gaining a beneficial effect by absorbing the black liquid when killing users.

Then they had to stop it.

The problem was that it was impossible not to die against this crazy Marang-i.

Furthermore, even though they were barely holding on, ordinary users were getting caught up in Marang-i’s massive area-of-effect attacks, and black liquid was continuously flowing into Marang-i.

If they pulled back now to prevent other users from dying, the monsters would obviously interfere with taking down Marang-i, which would consume a lot of resources in attacking Marang-i.

And in the first place, if Marang-i decided to avoid them and attack ordinary users, there would be no way to stop her.

,Just a moment.

Reina, who had been mentally shocked by the adult Marang-i, finally realized that the Mirang-i in front of her was not Arang-i, and she regained her senses and analyzed the situation.

And she recalled what she had seen earlier.

[The End]

Iarang, who appeared through sacrifice. Stop Iarang, who is trying to destroy the world, and protect the world.

[Overview]

The 5th World Administrator, Disnier, was furious when his shaman and daughter, Iarang, was murdered.

Disnier passed on part of himself to Iarang in order to protect her.

Iarang became a disaster.

You must stop Iarang, who is trying to destroy the world.

Stop Iarang by any means necessary.

‘It wasn’t about subjugation, it was about protecting the world. And…’

Reina, watching the black liquid swirling around and being absorbed by Marang-i, thought of a possibility.

No matter how she looked at it, there was no change even though she kept absorbing the black liquid. She should be getting stronger, faster, or using magic, but nothing was changing. Then…

‘What if she wasn’t absorbing it to get stronger, but to endure?’

She also recalled the quest from when Marang-i appeared.

[Iarang Returned from Death]

Having received Disnier’s power, Iarang appeared in this world, sacrificing the corpses of everyone to destroy the world.

[Overview]

Iarang, who was so powerful that she was sealed by the rules of the world, appeared in this world by sacrificing countless corpses.

If Iarang, whose mere presence brings death, is left in this world, it will soon become a world where no living things can survive.

Everyone, work together to stop Iarang.

Marang-i clearly said that she appeared by sacrificing many corpses.

If it was an equivalent exchange, that strength wouldn’t make sense, no matter how many corpses there were.

Frankly speaking, I don’t think we can ever win.

No matter how many buffs they receive, even the tanks are one-shot-killed without survival skills, and even with them, their health is so low that they die with a single touch, so the healers’ mana is just draining away.

Leo-Re may do stupid things, but they never use the word “never.”

In other words, there must be a way to win this war, no matter how difficult it may be.

‘That Arang-i isn’t absorbing the black liquid for power. She’s absorbing it to stay here.’

I don’t know if this is the right answer.

But.

Reina, thinking that this was the only solution, shouted.

,Stop attacking! Give up attacking and just focus on blocking! All melee dealers, fall back! Tank! All tanks, come here!

Blocking Marang-i’s attacks is insanely difficult, but not impossible.

Each attack makes you involuntarily groan, but you can endure it if you have survival skills.

Moreover, even tanks with poor gear levels have one thing in common with tanks wearing final gear.

That is, skills.

Tanks basically all have a skill called “Invincibility.”

Each tank has a different skill name and effect, but one effect is the same.

They don’t die except in certain situations.

Tanks usually use their invincibility skill in two ways.

If the damage is so painful that you feel like you’re going to die even with survival skills activated, you switch to invincibility, and then you can safely transition in various ways. But if the tank can handle it alone, they also switch to invincibility.

That’s how simple yet overpowered the tank’s invincibility skill is.

Instead, its cooldown is the longest of all skills.

It has a devastating cooldown of 10 minutes.

But for 10 seconds once every 10 minutes, you don’t die.

Kwaang!!!

,Get out of the way!!!

Marang-i felt rage at the sight of more than ten tanks holding up huge shields in front of her, blocking her path.

As Reina thought, Marang-i had to consume black liquid while fighting and replenish it.

Otherwise, she would lose power.

She wasn’t originally a being that created black liquid, but a being that moved by using black liquid as fuel.

Therefore, she had to acquire black liquid in order to use her great power.

The problem was that they were intentionally blocking that acquisition.

,Die! Just die!

If it was just a chaotic brawl, she could have had the opportunity to continuously acquire black liquid, but it was impossible to break through the users who had changed their strategy to completely block her.

Just as the users’ morale was rising as they saw her power gradually waning.

Kung…

The sky trembled again.

Everyone tilted their heads to look at the sky, not knowing what was happening, but Marang-i just drooped her shoulders and blamed herself.

,Hello everyone.

A charming yet delicate voice, but a young voice that felt more confident than anyone else.

Arang-i appeared from the sky, tearing through the heavens.

,Aish, this isn’t right!!!

,Aooo!!! What are we supposed to do!?

,Are you crazy!?

,It’s Arang-i!

,Wow, the black Arang-i is definitely cuter.

,Arang-i or whatever, this isn’t right! How are we supposed to deal with this!?

The users’ reactions were twofold.

Users who were happy to see the cute Arang-i, especially the gothic lolita Arang-i, whom they thought they would never see again.

And those who were going crazy because they were already struggling with Marang-i in front of them, and now an Arang-i comparable to her had appeared.

Fighting Arang-i and Marang-i at the same time…?

There were users who thought it would be much easier to fight two raid bosses instead.

Arang-i confirmed that Marang-i was surrounded by tank knights holding huge shields and panting for breath, and then descended directly on the healers who were healing those knights.
