Rumble-! growth!
The door to the boss room subsequently opened.
The interior was completely shrouded in darkness.
in spite of Jin-Woo’s eyesight, greatly enhanced with the aid of his perception Stat, he observed it hard to peer one inch in the front of him. All he ought to see actually became the floor under his ft.
The floor was covered in stone tiles.
The ash-coloured tiles, laid without a seen gaps in between, gave off this feeling of heaviness and barren relax.
As quickly as he set foot in this floor….
Whooosh!
endless torches lining up the walls lit up all at once and illuminated the interior.
‘As I thought… it’s almost the same as back in that underground temple.’
Jin-Woo maintained his vigilance. He scanned his region and cautiously stepped forward.
several large stone pillars stood erect to his left and proper; at the a ways stop of this ‘room’, he may want to see a tall throne.
‘It’s as though….’
This place reminded him of the king’s target audience chamber from a fantasy film. Of path, the dimensions changed into fantastically large, although.
a few steps later, the door issued a loud bang and closed shut behind him.
SLAM!!
Jin-Woo glanced back, but he didn’t panic. He already expected something like that to show up. Jin-Woo resumed his careful march ahead.
‘….i can sense a powerful presence.’
He type of were given this simply sturdy intestine feeling that, which will finish his class quest, he had to arrive before that throne.
simply as vital, his intestine feelings on topics such as this one had been on the money, maximum of the time.
It was then.
From the gap among stone pillars, which couldn’t have been extra than ten steps, a ‘doll’ walked out from its hiding spot and stood before him, blocking his route ahead.
The ‘component’ stopped its stroll and became around to stand him.
Gulp.
Jin-Woo swallowed his dry saliva.
He most effective had to take one observe the creature’s pink name floating just above its head to understand that the boss had sooner or later made its front.
[The Captain of the Knights, Igrit the Crimson]
It become a knight sporting a in shape of blood-crimson armour.
The manner it become kitted out from head to toe in metal armour become much like different knights he fought thus far, but pretty unlike those that looked stupid and gradual, this factor seemed distinctly agile.
What stuck his eyes subsequent turned into its helm.
The red-colored mane extending rearwards from the top of the helm reminded him of a stallion’s tail and it left a alternatively deep influence.
at the same time as he studied its helm, Jin-Woo located one extra distinction between it and the other knights.
‘This guy…. has eyes?’
however, were they eyes, or irises?
whatever the case may be, the pair of silvery lighting oozed out from in which one’s eyes must be. They felt so bloodless and uncaring, wholly mechanical and useless.
the ones bloodless eyes have been now constant on him.
The hair at the returned of his neck stood up.
‘So, the aura of the virtually powerful enemy changed into coming from this man, huh…..’
The purpose of the elegance quest might be to defeat this knight, for all he knew. If that become the case, he had to be doubly cautious.
Jin-Woo found the moves of this Igrit even as slowly raising his clenched fists.
‘My dagger gained’t paintings on it besides.’
What became needed in defeating a knight was blunt force. He wanted strength to weigh down him.
‘……’
Igrit quietly discovered Jin-Woo for a while, earlier than it suddenly took off its pink cape.
Plop.
The cape fell to the ground.
‘What’s it doing?’
The b*stard’s bizarre movements didn’t cease there.
It proceeded to take off the longsword on its hips, and the two daggers hidden behind its lower back, and dropped all of them to the ground.
no longer only that, it confirmed them to him, before losing them one after the other.
Clang, clang…
The indoors of the boss room were quiet until then; the loud clangs of the metal hitting the stone tiles reverberated noisily at some point of this enormous chamber.
Igrit completed discarding all of its weapons, and as if to imitate Jin-Woo, clenched its fists and were given right into a combating stance.
Jin-Woo’s eyes grew wider.
‘could this b*stard be considering….?’
turned into this component going to combat him bare-passed because he changed into additionally naked-exceeded?
Jin-Woo bit his lower lip.
‘….It’s looking down on me.’
The monsters’ provocation that honestly wasn’t one only served to swiftly cool his head. The hotter his feelings boiled, the chillier his head were given.
on the contrary to his heart beating quicker and quicker, Jin-Woo’s eyes became sharper and calculating.
‘Come.’
possibly analyzing his thoughts, Igrit made a beeline in the direction of him.
faucet, faucet, tap, faucet!
the velocity it produced turned into so rapid that he located it tough to trust it become carrying a healthy of armour.
‘the speed penalty of the armours only comes into impact while the electricity Stat is decrease than 80, proper?’
meaning, this aspect’s strength turned into as a minimum eighty!
Judging from its nimble movement, its Agility might also rival a number of the highest-ranked Hunters out there.
Igrit closed the gap within the blink of a watch, and leapt up into the air. as soon as flying, the factor stuck its knee out and aimed toward Jin-Woo’s face.
‘It’s speedy!!’
however, Jin-Woo were prepared as properly, his very own movement velocity pushed to the intense. He bent his lower back almost 90 stages and allow Igrit’s assault brush past him.
Jin-Woo then unexpectedly stood returned up.
quite not like other knights that needed far to prevent after their address had failed, Igrit really landed on the ground without much fanfare.
Kung!!
there has been no time to admire that perfect touchdown, although.
Jin-Woo rushed in and before Igrit may want to flip around all the way, he diagonally kicked its head.
Shockingly enough, the component nevertheless ought to flow its arm accurately even if its posture changed into unstable.
Slam!
Jin-Woo’s proper leg become effortlessly blocked with the aid of Igrit’s left hand.
‘How can this be?!’
Jin-Woo’s eyes opened wider.
while one among his legs was blocked, Igrit’s different fist flew in at his face.
graceful!
He raised both of his hands instinctively to defend himself, however the effect force still were given transmitted to the relaxation of his body.
growth!!
His protect broke and his whole frame have become airborne.
“What?!”
A bowled over gasp escaped from his mouth.
however soon, it turned into a groan.
“…..?!”
because, Igrit had already seemed proper in the front of his eyes.
Even before he had the danger to do something positive about it, Igrit’s left fist powerfully slammed into Jin-Woo’s left cheek.
Slam!!
He slammed into the ground and bounced up from the effect, earlier than persevering with to roll away. He best managed to force himself lower back up after some time.
BUZZ!!
The inner of his ears rang noisily.
Jin-Woo shook his head round multiple times. most effective then did the loud ringing die down extremely.
but, the much bigger hassle than that changed into coming in the direction of him. His blurry sight captured Igrit as it walked towards him.
Step, step….
Jin-Woo opened his eyes wider and got equipped.
sooner or later, Igrit arrived right before Jin-Woo’s nose.
And so, a bloody dogfight erupted between the 2.
Igrit didn’t even try to stay away from Jin-Woo’s punches. No, it in reality took on the hits and counter-attacked right away.
Pow!
Igrit’s head turned into compelled slightly to the facet.
however, even earlier than Jin-Woo may want to correct his posture, a pointy and correct counterpunch flew at him.
POW!
Jin-Woo tottered about like a drunken man.
Pow!
This time, Igrit took a step returned.
POW!
After his belly become kicked in, Jin-Woo’s frame bent ahead 90 ranges.
“Keok!”
Blood welled up in his mouth.
‘what’s this nonsensical bullsh*t….?!’
currently, Jin-Woo’s physical harm discount Stat had passed 30%.
however, each of Igrit’s assaults harm like loopy, as if he became being pounded on by using a hammer. then again, his attacks almost didn’t inflict any damage to the enemy.
Their exchange didn’t final for lengthy afterwards.
POW!
Jin-Woo teetered approximately unsteadily, earlier than falling to his knees.
Plop.
He tried to face again up, but his legs didn’t want to pay attention.
Plop.
“Euh-euk…”
Igrit stood earlier than Jin-Woo, however stopped attacking him. It wordlessly stared down at him for a while.
‘…..?’
Then, whilst ignoring Jin-Woo’s question-crammed gaze directed at it, Igrit prolonged its hand out closer to the sword discarded to the floor a ways away.
Then, the sword changed into routinely reeled in.
Igrit grasped the sword in each of its arms and walked to the facet of Jin-Woo.
quickly, the tip of the blade become pointing to the sky.
‘You need to execute me, is that it?’
This b*stard in reality lived up to its title as the captain of the knights.
whilst it seemed like Jin-Woo wasn’t going to face up to his final moments, Igrit went beforehand with the execution.
Of course, Jin-Woo wasn’t going to allow that occur without a fight.
The sword fell down in a straight line.
graceful-!
however, Jin-Woo reached up together with his left hand and blocked the descending blade.
CLANG!
The noise of steel hitting metal!
The gauntlet he determined just earlier than entering here covered his hand.
cringe!
He sensed Igrit being taken back simply now. Jin-Woo didn’t miss this risk and threw a punch along with his right hand.
As predicted, Igrit didn’t try to ward off.
‘You’re considering countering me again, right?’
It had in all likelihood calculated that getting hit once while countering that became far more efficient. Too terrible, it failed to take some thing crucial into its calculation.
‘Poison Fang of Kasaka!’
Shururu….
The Poison Fang of Kasaka changed into summoned right away into his hand.
And Jin-Woo stabbed the dagger within the creature’s eye.
Stab!
Kuwooooaaar!!
A scream that couldn’t have come from a man or women exploded out.
at the same time, a fierce light poured out from the eye with the dagger sticking out.
Jin-Woo hurriedly stood returned up.
‘Now what?’
simply damaging one eye wouldn’t be able to decide the winner of this conflict. He wanted an assault even greater effective than that if he wanted to win.
It changed into then, a concept entered his mind.
The frightening attack that nearly driven him to the brink of demise the alternative day! He desired to allow Igrit taste that attack, too.
earlier than he should finish wondering that, his frame moved first.
Jin-Woo bent down and undergo-hugged Igrit’s midriff.
after which… he began strolling.
Kuooaark!!
Igrit thrashed about in pain and controlled to land numerous stable blows on Jin-Woo’s lower back. but, he gritted his enamel and didn’t permit Igrit cross.
No, he expanded his pace instead.
“sprint!!”
[Your movement speed has increased by 40%.]
Jin-Woo’s legs were now shifting so much faster. He felt the electrifying velocity sending chills down his entire frame.
‘yes, that is it. And now….’
And now, he’d slam this b*stard!
at the same time as gripping the midriff of Igrit even harder, he dashed in the direction of the closest wall with every ounce of power he had.
Of route, if they collided in opposition to the wall at this velocity, the effect his own body obtained could be widespread as well. however, Jin-Woo had a hidden trump card within the form of a positive passive talent.
the distance closed within the blink of an eye!
The wall was proper behind them.
Kaboom!!
in conjunction with the massive explosion, Igrit crashed into the wall.
at the identical time, a message from the device popped up.
Tti-ring!
[Your HP has dropped below 30% and ‘Skill: Tenacity’ has been activated.]
[All damage received will be reduced by 50%.]
The impact force changed into top notch sufficient for the complete boss room to tremble momentarily.
“Keu-euk.”
Jin-Woo took a step again.
Igrit become buried half of-manner into the wall, but it turned into still alive. The ‘flame’ of existence burning beneath the helm was nonetheless flickering visibly.
‘….I need to finish this.’
Jin-Woo yanked the Poison Fang of Kasaka, still buried in its eye, free.
That triggered Igrit’s frame to quiver as soon as.
Jin-Woo held the dagger in a opposite grip, and stabbed difficult on the b*stard’s neck.
‘essential factors Targetting!’
Clang!!
The attack didn’t paintings.
One more time.
‘important factors Targetting!’
Clang!!
Sparks flew off from the top of the dagger.
A small nick shaped at the steel protecting the monster’s neck.
One more time.
‘critical factors Targetting!’
Clang!
One greater!
Clang!
One greater!
Clang!!!
And in the end…
‘vital points Targetting!!’
Crack!!
The Poison Fang of Kasaka broke beyond the protective steel and dug deep into its neck.
[You defeated the Captain of the Knights, Igrit the Crimson.]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
Jin-Woo raised each of his fingers up excessive into the sky.
He took numerous steps back, earlier than losing all electricity in his legs and faltered to the floor.
“Pant, pant….!”
Jin-Woo spat out the heavy breaths he’d been maintaining in till now.
He received, by hook or by crook.
It changed into an extremely near combat.
‘however… wasn’t this the quit of the quest?’
Jin-Woo accumulated his breaths for a long time, earlier than painfully elevating his body up.
He expected the class quest to stop as soon as he killed this man, but now not one message popped up in his view. He regarded around, but he did not spot something specific within the boss room.
No, there was one aspect that was extraordinary from earlier than.
numerous strands of light started out flickering on Igrit’s frame. that means, his loot turned into now equipped.
‘in the meanwhile, let’s snatch the ones.’
after all, he couldn’t inform what else would possibly take place right here.
Grabbing things that he should seize whilst there was a danger become the neatest move one ought to make, wasn’t it?
Jin-Woo reached out in the direction of the ones lighting fixtures.
[‘Item: Red Knight’s Helm’ has been found. Take it?]
[‘Rune Stone: Ruler’s Reach’ has been found. Take it?]
[‘Item: Leather Pouch’ has been found. Take it?]
[‘Item: Immediate Return Stone’ has been found. Take it?]
Why have been there such a lot of?
Jin-Woo felt as a substitute puzzled, but nonetheless, he couldn’t cover his elation, either.
‘gather all of them.’
the primary component to enter his stock changed into the leather Pouch.
[‘Item: Leather Pouch’ has been opened.]
[1,500,000 Gold is inside.]
[1,500,000 Gold has been acquired.]
Jin-Woo’s eyes went more round.
‘the extent of reward is on some other scale altogether!’
It certainly changed into well worth it, defeating it after going via so much crap.
He wasn’t watching for all that a great deal, to start with, but the leather pouch spat out an unbelievable amount of one,500,000 Gold.
With this quantity, he’d have the ability to shop for something beneficial from the store now.
but, Jin-Woo’s attention was directed someplace else in the interim.
If the leather-based pouch he didn’t even preserve high hopes for controlled to provide such wealth, then simply how high turned into the fee of the helm or the Rune Stone?
Jin-Woo tried very hard to calm his heart and taken up the information at the helm.
Tti-ring.
