Devour My Own Path

"Hey Areum! What's wrong? Who do you mean? Isn't the enemy already defeated?!"

Seo Yeon asked.

"That.. There was someone there. He can lift..."

Woshh!

Areum's eyes widened to see that  the spear of faith was right in front of her face. Although the spear of faith was unlikely to injure the user, for some reason the mysterious man could throw it until it almost hit Areum.

"Hoaamm... The spear still has consciousness, huh?! It's just tiring," said the man on the other side.

"Areum!!" Ji Hu, who had recovered, couldn't believe that Areum's spear could be lifted or even thrown that far. What really happened.

"Get ready! something is coming" Oliver warned everyone.

From a distance, the trees seemed to be collapsing. It's like there's something really big heading towards them. As that thing got closer, the ground around them shook.

"Now what?!!" Ji Hu's disgusted and annoyed tone sounded clear.

The figure is getting closer.

"I will leave my two angels of death on Areum. You guys fight the creature and I'll try to fight the man standing there."

Oliver pulled out his two swords, ready to confront a foe whose power was still mysterious.

Like a light, Oliver now stood right in front of the man.

Despite having seen him from a distance, Oliver still didn't understand why this man in front of him was wearing pajamas. Something is wrong with this person, Oliver thought.

"I'm sure you're not a hunter, who are you and what are you doing here?!"

"You... Oliver, isn't it?!"

The man began to scratch his hair angrily. "Haaah... Actually, I don't want to do this either. And now even meet a top rank hunter, let alone that person, Oliver!"

Oliver didn't understand why this guy would still do it if he didn't want to. "What's your goal?!" Oliver's sharp gaze continued to be directed at the man.

"Even though you're the strongest hunter but why are you so stupid? After seeing all this, haven't you been able to..."

Before the man had time to finish his sentence, a slash was directed at him. The attack was so fast that it should have made the man's head now fall to the ground.

"Hey... I'm not done yet..."

Even the man who was now where Oliver was standing, had not time to finish his speech, Oliver attacked him again.

What?!

"Can you be quiet for a minute...!?" an intimidating tone was felt from his words.

Oliver's attack was stopped easily. Oliver's light sword that was supposed to burn anyone who came into contact with it, was captured as if it were just an ordinary sword.

Oliver immediately pulled back his sword and retreated. Observing who and what his true strength is so that he can raise the spear of faith and hold his sword.

"Who are you..!?"

"Me? Hmm.. I'm lazy to explain it but, what about the Jeju island incident—"

As soon as he heard the name, Oliver now attacked him with the speed of fighting an abstract dragon. Not only one or two attacks, thousands of slashes were directed at the man who didn't even have time to react.

Whoever was affected by the attack could be assured that there was nothing left not even his blood.

A few moments later, the trees behind him, which were not even aware that they had been cut down, began to collapse one by one.

"Waah so this is the strongest hunter power?"

A voice came from Oliver's right. The man was now leaning against a tree.

How could it be?!

Oliver's face showed a little wariness.

"Hm? Are you curious about my strength?"

On the other hand.

Something that led to them was now showing itself. A giant snake 40 meters tall and 100 meters long, stood in front of Areum and others.

The snake was the second boss with a level of around 200 that should only be 6 meters tall and 12 meters long. But now both his size and level had become as abnormal as the previous lizard leader.

"Damn that even now has a level of 350..."

"... and what kind of size is it!?"

Ji Hu's brain seemed to receive a lot of impossible information at one time, making his logic disappear.

Jin Woo's unconscious state and Ji Hu's seemingly unable to fight anymore, make only Areum and Seong Yeon able to fight those.

Plus there are two angels of death at their side, making Seo Yeon a little hopeful.

"Hey Areum, we better put aside the hatred between us first!" Seo Yeon walked over to Areum's side.

"What can be done... just for this time" Seo Yeon smiled.

"With your dragon, try to look for weaknesses in his skin and I'll distract him from the front"

Areum sighed, "Alright, I'm counting on you!"

Since Oliver left his two angels behind, Areum was able to summon back the abstract dragon with 100% of his power.

There, after getting a buff from Areum, Seo Yeon jumps up and lunges with her heat.

As soon as he was summoned, the abstract dragon immediately went to Seo Yeon's aid by attacking giant snake's back.

One of the weaknesses of this snake boss is that it finds one part of its skin fragile. After finding and destroying it, it must be attacked quickly before the boss recovers and changes skin.

This boss doesn't have phase 2, but its hp and defense are very high. It takes at least an attack with very high damage or an attack with significant sustained damage.

Because of Seo Yeon's heat attack, the snake became more aggressive and made the Areum dragon that had been attacking its scales look a little overwhelmed.

"Hey Seo Yeon! Use the cold of your temperature to reduce its movements!" Areum speaks through an abstract dragon.

"Oh, I forgot! alright"

Seo Yeon's star strength is not only in the form of extreme heat, but also a cold temperature of around -10 degrees Celsius. Although it wasn't as cold as Jin Woo's extreme temperatures, but it was at least enough to limit those boss's movements.

Both continued to attack. However, since Areum can't find the fragile part of the scales and Seo Yeon's cold attacks can only slow down boss's movements, they find a dead end.

"Hey Areum! Quickly find the scales! I'm only half left now," Seo Yeon said while dodging boss's attacks and continuing to unleash the cold temperature.

"You can't! I've attacked all parts of his scales even his head, but there's no such thing as fragile scales!"

"Damn! if only Ji Hu existed, it wouldn't take long to find it."

...

"Did you guys call me?" said Ji Hu from behind.

"Ji Hu!"

"I'm sorry, this information is too absurd. It took some time to digest everything."

"Snake boss, huh!? Areum, tell Seo Yeon to make the temperature around the snake at 30 degrees!" Ji Hu got up and walked towards Areum, seeing the snake boss fighting.

Areum nodded and told Seo Yeon.

"Finally regained consciousness too, huh?!"

Seo Yeon follows Ji Hu's instructions and starts to make the temperature around her boss humid.

Due to the change in temperature becoming humid and due to its scales having been damaged by the dragon Areum, the snake boss changed skin.

"Attack the snake's scales until they are damaged and make him keep changing his skin"

"After that, it is likely that his fragile scales will appear"

The Areum dragon continued to attack the boss's body. Several times the boss attacks Seo Yeon with his body or poison. However, the abstract dragon quickly restrained and moved Seo Yeon to safety.

"Isn't the duet of the two of us quite great, Areum?"

"Tsk! just focus and save your mana for the last attack!"

"Hahaha alright, but what if we do it together? I'm sure after defeating this rotten snake, our level will rise higher and get closer to UR rank"

"Whatever"

Following Ji Hu's instructions, the two worked together quite well.

Actually under normal circumstances if an SSR rank party faced this snake boss after the lizardman boss was quite difficult. Because the previous boss with his power would consume a lot of resources. And this snake boss that only looks like a sack will destroy those who have grown weary.

Despite having consumed the mana potion and vitality that had also been used against the previous bosses, facing the super thick boss would be a race against time. The longer the fight, the less advantageous it will be for the raid party.

After struggling with the same method over and over again, finally his boss's fragile scales were visible. Quickly, the abstract dragon headed towards the scales and destroyed them.

"Areum! Use the Spear of Faith and aim it at his head!"

"Then, Seo Yeon! Use your strongest skills and layer the Spear of Faith!"

Because its scales were destroyed, the snake is now coiled and covers itself with a protective mana.

The abstract dragon that kept hitting a single point continuously, broke its shield and was ready for the final attack.

Seo Yeon flew above boss's head, ready with her strongest skill, blue star.

A skill that condenses the heat of a star at a temperature of 30,000 to 50,000 degrees Celsius, will make anything it is subjected to must melt and disappear.

The Spear of faith was ready to fall from a height, heading right to its boss's head. Due to the force of gravity and the push of Seong Yeon's skill, the spear of faith fell with an extraordinarily large force.

Darr!!

The Spear of faith fell right on boss's head, making him die instantly.

A notification also appears indicating that the dungeon has been completed.

Seo Yeon stands next to Areum after being moved by abstract dragon.

"Areum, what about Oliver. Can you see it?"

"After the boss was killed, the two angels have returned to his side. Now we just have to wait for the dungeon to close."

"You're right, I hope Oliver is fine"

At Oliver's place.

With eyes of judgment, Oliver tried to look into the man. However, only darkness was visible. Even information about him could not be obtained by Oliver. Just his name, Belphegor.

"Hm? Did you just look inside me? What an eye-catching eye"

Before Oliver could start attacking him again, a crack appeared from the air next to the man.

The crack continued to grow to the size of the man.

From there, a woman appeared dressed like a royal princess with white hair and golden eyes. As soon as she set foot on her feet, an extremely powerful killing aura emanated. Even Areum and others where the distance between them is hundreds of km, also feel it.

"What is this...?!" Seo Yeon couldn't help but feel the tingling air she felt.

The woman saw Oliver and in the style of a princess, she introduced herself.

"Are you Oliver? Introduce myself, my name is Mammon, The Fallen Princess" the woman's voice and intonation were enough to make an Oliver shudder in horror. She smiled.

"Oh Belphegor, this is what made you last so long"

"Haha, I'm sorry. Actually I just want to see how the power of the world's top hunters is."

"Whatever. But it seems like everything is going well, right?"

"Well, even though both of them were defeated by them"

The woman who introduced herself, Mammon, looked towards Oliver and far away at Areum and the others.

"It's okay! Now we have to go back"

The man called Belphegor went into the cracks.

"Wait!"

Mammon stopped and looked at Oliver, "Hm?"

"What is your purpose in doing all this?!"

Oliver himself felt unsure if to fight the two, especially this Mammon. So Oliver tries to dig up information from her.

"Didn't I tell to those woman?" she said with a smile before actually walking in and disappearing.

After Mammon and Belphegor left, the dungeon now began to disappear.

Oliver stared at them in disbelief. It turns out that the enemy power that Hunter Sylv is talking about is very strong. It makes an Oliver feel insecure.

"I have to tell you this right away!"
