Chapter 15 - Who Is That Guy

One of Areum's strongest skills. my master is a part of my soul. With this skill, summoned creatures will not consume mana, but rather their master, Oliver. Because Oliver has a passive skill where if there is light and darkness, then he will continue to be regenerated. This means that the creatures called Areum will have 100% of their power just like where they were when they lived.

Yellow light began to circle the Areum. Slowly the soul dragon that Oliver had previously defeated was summoned back. As soon as the dragon was summoned perfectly, an enormous killing intent was felt by the lizardman leader.

He immediately stood up and prepared for the dragon's attack.

"Jin Woo, can you make such extreme cold temperatures around the boss?"

"How extreme?"

"Enough to freeze poison fumes"

Jin Woo thought for a moment. "Sure, but I have to walk to the middle of the area and when I freeze everything, my body will be covered in thick ice. So please protect me while I'm at it."

Ji Hu nodded. "Just leave it to me!"

After the plan was made and Jin Woo who had drunk the mana potion, the abstract dragon who was now equal in strength while still alive, lunged at light-equivalent speed towards the lizardman leader.

Even if his level and stats were ranked extremely high, his speed would not be able to match the speed of light belonging to the abstract dragon. However, the reflexes also increase so rapidly that they are able to react to the speed of light.

However, not all attacks can be stopped by their reflexes alone. Several attacks from the Areum dragon managed to escape and cut off parts of the lizardman leader's body.

But it seems like a waste. With its poisonous fumes, the parts of the body that are cut off, reshape as quickly as they are cut off. So, even with a light-speed attack and successfully cutting off the lizardman leader's body parts, it didn't mean anything if his enemies had the same fast regeneration speed.

"Even though it has used poisonous smoke for its regeneration, the smoke still looks dense"

Ji Hu looked at Jin Woo. "Are you ready, Jin Woo?!"

Jin Woo nodded.

"Alright! Now it's your turn to act!"

Jin Woo walked slowly while letting out a cold from his skill, my music is my world. This skill is one of Jin Woo's ultimate skills where he can express his music to affect reality.

The closer he got to the center of the battle area, the extremely cold air began to taste until the smoke around him began to freeze. Jin Woo continued to walk with his top that was starting to be covered in ice walls. The closer he gets, the thicker the ice sheet that envelops him until Jin Woo is completely stopped with his body fully covered.

The extreme cold froze the other lizardmen and the smoke that had previously flown free, froze. Although the poisonous smoke can be frozen, its toxicity will remain within the ice sheet that traps it.

Before all the smoke completely froze, the lizardman leader kept as much of it as a reserve in his body. Making the super regeneration is still possible.

Seeing Jin Woo, the cause of freezing all areas, the lizardman leader attempted to cut him down. But of course the abstract dragon with its speed of light, made him unable to get close to Jin Woo.

Plus Ji Hu who helps him with various movement distractions and Areum with his spear that keeps preventing the lizardman leader from getting close to Jin Woo.

Although everything in the area was frozen, the lizardman leader and dragon Areum would not freeze. This is because the speed of the two of them cannot be followed by freezing. Which means that among those who quit, that is the one who will lose.

Seeing the poisonous smoke coming out of the lizardman leader's body that was cut off and immediately reabsorbed, made this fight going on for a very long time until Jin Woo ran out of mana.

"Seo Yeon! Now it's your turn!"

"Oh is now it time for Seo Yeon noona to turn things around?" Seo Yeon looked excited.

Ji Hu sighed.

"With your heat level, go into battle and vaporize the poison that comes out of his boss's body when

it is cut. Once there is no more poisonous vapor coming out, that's where it will freeze and the abstract dragon will cut it until its blood runs out."

"Hehe leave it to your boss's wife"

When Seo Yeon said that, there was a squeak from Areum. But it seems like Seo Yeon didn't hear it.

Seo Yeon's star power is due to her desire to always illuminate the darkness of Oliver's past, allowing her to emit heat equivalent to the surface temperature of the star.

Seo Yeon herself does not use weapons. She only uses her hot temperature to envelop her body and fists. By relying solely on her strength, Seo Yeon was able to become Korea's top hunter and the head of the Bonghwang (Phoenix) guild.

Seo Yeon rolled up her sleeves, preparing to have fun with Ji Hu's plan.

"Yosh! It's time to show the strength of the world's top hunter wife!"

She walked, prepared.

When in front of Areum, "I won't hold back my power, so make sure your dragon doesn't hitted by my fist," he said with a smile.

She lowered her body, prepared to run... No, Seo Yeon jumped into the air.

Her body was like being shot by a giant catapult, flying swiftly towards the fight of the two.

From up there, the hot temperatures slowly began to be felt. The closer Seo Yeon gets to the surface, the smoke and the frozen lizardman, begin to melt.

However, due to the very extreme temperature changes, the toxins begin to evaporate and decompose. As for lizardmans, they melt. Seo Yeon manages her power so that it doesn't have an impact on Jin Woo.

And as for the abstract dragon, with its speed, it could avoid its heat before it burned out.

In the air, there was a shadow of Seo Yeon with her fist ready to enter battle, then....

Darrr!!

As soon as Seo Yeon hit the lizardman leader, a thick smoke began to spread.

The battle, which was initially unwatchable to the human eye, is now filled with uncertainty due to thick smoke.

Woossh!

A puff of smoke began to form everywhere. It was followed by the sound of metal clattering and explosions.

As Seo Yeon fights and the cold temperatures that Jin Woo produces, thick smoke doesn't seem to stop appearing. However, in the middle of a battle where there was no room to freeze, the smoke there was thinner than around him.

"Ji Hu, is everything going well?" Areum was a little worried because she couldn't see what was happening there.

The question is focused on the battle. With his strength, Ji Hu could see through the smoke. And thanks to Seo Yeon's presence, the boss's reflexes and regeneration have become slower.

"Everything is still under control and if this continues to run without any disturbance, the lizardman leader should soon fall."

Areum nodded and continued his buff dealing.

In the smoke.

"HAHAHA!! Good! Keep chopping him! I'll make it a roasted lizard!" Seo Yeon kept hitting the cut part with her hot fists.

Seeing himself cornered, the lizardman leader looked for various ways to distract the two. He began to move with difficulty towards the lizardman who was still frozen. Hoping that both of them can be fooled with thick smoke to get a chance to use their traits.

The two continued to cut and melt the lizardman leader's body. There are countless parts of the body that have been cut and grown. Even the dungeon boss also had his own mind.

Especially for dungeon bosses for level 5 and above, the instincts of ferocious beasts no longer filled the boss's mind. Rather, it is a reasoning and thinking like a human. This is what makes Oliver's solo raid look like an impossibility. Fighting an enemy that is very powerful and has a human mindset, requires a lot of preparation and strength.

Just a little mistake, then the entire team will be destroyed by the boss's plan.

Ji Hu was aware that the lizardman leader still had a plan to deliberately move around.

"Areum! Tell Seo Yeon through your dragon not to be dragged by the current! It looks like he still has a hidden card."

Areum immediately tells Seo Yeon with her dragon power.

Actually with the power of a soul and mind dragon, Areum had already tried to enter and disturb the inside of the boss. But it was like something was preventing her from entering like what happened to Oliver.

Areum had also asked Oliver via telepathy, but Oliver only replied, "no need to worry. It seems that this is the same person as yesterday's incident. Just focus! Let me handle the rest."

After hearing about it from the abstract dragon, Seo Yeon formed a barrier from her star heat.

Confining the three in a very hot circle. Even Jin Woo's freezing couldn't touch him.

Now the two are facing each other with the leader of the lizardman.

"Hey Areum! Can your dragon still survive?!"

Without answering Seo Yeon, the abstract dragon darted back towards the lizardman leader.

"Huufft... then the answer is certain"

Now thanks to the heat barrier that surrounded it, the lizardman leader's reflex and regeneration levels had dropped drastically. Making his severed body, slowly evaporate and disappear.

This is one of the methods to fight enemies that have regeneration, by evaporating them until there is nothing left.

Seeing his body slowly evaporate, the lizardman leader had no other choice. With parts of his body that had been cut off but had not fully evaporated, he used his hidden cards.

With the rest of his power, the severed body parts began to show an explosion reaction. Ji Hu, who realized this beforehand, immediately shouted at Areum to take Seong Yeon and Jin Woo away from there

Areum with all her might gives her dragon a speed buff.

In a fraction of a millisecond before it actually exploded, with its speed, the abstract draagon took Seo Yeon and cut through the ice shield that covered Jin Woo. It went on very quickly before Ji Hu was actually done with his words.

Damn, was Seo Yeon's word before she and Jin Woo were back to where Oliver was.

Right after that, a devastating explosion occurred. Due to the heat from Seo Yeon's power, the explosion got bigger and even flattened everything into the ground within a radius of tens of kilometers.

Because of their initial distance of only a few tens of meters from the source of the explosion, it should have made them also affected or possibly die in an instant.

However, this is where the strength of an Oliver is needed.

Before they are actually hit by the explosion, Oliver immediately moves them to an area where the explosion won't reach. Oliver also increased his protection so that the impact of the very fast movement did not weigh them down.

This is where Oliver and the others stood, hundreds of kilometers away from the source of the explosion. Even after a few seconds, an explosion sound rang out from a distance. Makes anyone who hears it think that it is hundreds of kt of TNT dropped.

Everyone stared in horror at the explosion that formed a giant mushroom thousands of kilometers high.

"Areum, hold your spear. I'll give you my vision and aim for it!"

Before Areum asked, Oliver's vision was now shared with him.

Areum gasped at the location of the explosion that had been completely flattened and left a giant hole. The more he focused his vision, Areum saw a small creature that kept digging in the depths of the ground.

"What was that..."

"Aim for it. If it appears on the surface, it will all be over."

Areum nodded.

With her spear, the spear of faith, as long as the target can be reached by the owner's vision, it will continue to pursue it until it hits the target,

Whussh...

The spear flew towards the small creature that was currently hundreds of kilometers away. With Oliver's help, the spear shot out very quickly.

If expected, the spear will reach the target position by continuing to fly over the surface within 5 minutes.

"Sir, could it be the lizard leader's body?" Ji Hu didn't want to believe it, but if it was his boss's hidden card, this could no longer be put into reason.

Oliver nodded.

Ji Hu sat limp. "Even with such a powerful explosion, the boss still hasn't died?!"

The spear continued to fly above the target. Waiting for when the target will come to the surface.

When it arrived at the area that was not affected by the explosion, the little creature slowly climbed up. And once it reached the surface, with a sharp manuver,  the spear of faith headed in the direction of the target.

The target, who didn't know the whereabouts of the spear that was pointing at him, thought that he would survive after all the events.

Crashh!

His body was shattered to pieces. No toxins or regeneration occur. The lizardman's leader was now completely destroyed.

Seeing the notification of the death of one of the bosses, made Areum, Ji Hu and Jin Woo, who were now conscious, cheer happily.

Srak

There was the sound of a spear being pulled from the ground.

Since Areum's spear was a soul level, it allowed her to sense what was happening to her spear. And the sensation of being lifted by a person who wasn't its owner, made Areum break out in a cold sweat.

"No way..."

As soon as Areum saw it with Oliver's vision, a man stood there holding up the spear of faith.

"Hm? This spear is very heavy..." The man looked towards the spear throw, "....it looks like this is theirs"

Areum couldn't hear with her sight. But the man's gaze was directed at her, making her shudder with fear.

No one but Oliver and herself could lift the spear.

"W-Who is that person...?!"

In the distance, the man waved his hand.
