Chapter 568 – Battle of the Three-Headed Basilisk (4)

After the left head team consisting of Cha Yu-ri, Do-hee Do, and Do Ye-hee destroyed one head with a linked magic.

The battle of the other three people in charge of the right head continued to be busy even after that.

Kang Hye-eun as the vanguard, Cheon Ji-hee as the main dealer, and Han Min-ah as the assistant.

Unlike the three people on the left, who were created on the spot, the people in charge on the right had a long history of working together, so it did not take much time to decide on the formation and enter the battle.

There was just a little bit of noise in the way I approached the battle with the monster I encountered for the first time, which was different from before.

Like the left head, which uses fire magic, and the middle head, which uses deadly poison, the right head was also able to use its own special attacks.

The characteristic of the right head was that it used cold magic to perform various anomalous attacks and defenses.

Since all three are close-range hunters, you may feel that it is easier to deal with compared to fire or deadly poison. Unfortunately, the reality was not so easy.

If the other two heads of the Three-Headed Basilisk were heads specialized for ‘attack’, on the contrary, the magic on the right side showed solid performance only in ‘defense’.

-Blah blah blah!

“Ugh… !!”

Cheon Ji-hee’s kick, which Han Min-ah created to take advantage of her gap, failed to do any damage to her body this time and was thrown outwards.

The right side of the basilisk’s head was showing off her strong defensive magic, returning the shock back to her.

A monster that wraps its head in an ice helmet every time Cheon Ji-hee attacks, and uses the durability of the ice to defend itself.

Han Min-ah, who confirmed that Cheon Ji-hee’s attack had already been blocked three times in a similar way, quickly proposed a change in strategy.

“I don’t think it can go on like this, Jihee!”

“… I know!”

The fact that she couldn’t do something independent of what she knew was making Cheon Ji-hee even more frustrated.

The power of her kick itself was not that weak. Cheon Ji-hee had already regained the leg strength of her prime through her relationship with Seong Tae-kyung, and had also adapted to even greater strength.

However, no matter how strong a single blow was, it was only a meaningful attack against an opponent for whom damage was accumulating.

Cheon Ji-hee couldn’t help but feel a little nervous as she kept blocking her own blows with her disposable helmet, which used cold magic every time she swung her kick.

Because she couldn’t escape the pressure of being the only one in her right-hand group of three who could deliver an effective attack.

Kang Hye-eun’s awakening ability specializes in defense rather than attack. And Han Min-ah, an animal hunter who can attract the attention of monsters but cannot deliver a powerful attack.

Therefore, it was his responsibility to break through this thick ice defense wall and even destroy the head of the monster inside.

However, her awakening ability was only the strongest in her first attack, and it was not a very appropriate ability to use in her continuous attacks.

When she had to make consecutive attacks against the same target, she was able to exert similar power only by taking some time.

As she gathered her energy and breathing for her next attack, the right side of her head had just enough time to form a new armor of ice.

‘If it weren’t for this block of ice, I would have done it a long time ago…’ !’

If I could somehow reach only the head inside, I would definitely be able to take it down.

As the subjugation entrusted to her by Seong Tae-kyung was being delayed, she was losing the honor of seeing him more and more.

Even though there were other members like Cha Yu-ri who were fully capable of acting as dealers, she was entrusted with the role of main dealer because they trusted her, and it was quite shameful for Cheon Ji-hee to not even be able to perform that role.

The thought that if she did something wrong would make it difficult to face her again due to the guilt that passed through her mind.

Of course, before that, it was questionable whether we would all be able to escape this dungeon together if we could not defeat the three-headed basilisk.

-Suuuuu… !!

“It’s cold breath again! Min! Mr. Jihee!”

“Okay!”

“… “Ugh!”

-Pahaaaaa!!!

In the end, Han Min-ah and Cheon Ji-hee were unable to attack properly this time and returned to behind the shield.

The two, who temporarily avoided the cold breath behind Kang Hye-eun’s giant shield, began a brief strategy meeting.

About how to deal with that annoying ice armor.

“What do we do? “I think we’ll have to do something about that ice armor first.”

“… Is there a way? As you probably know from seeing it a few times, my attacks can only destroy one thing at a time. Either the ice or that guy’s head.”

“Min, isn’t it difficult for you to break something that thick?”

“Of course I can’t… Kang Hye-eun, what can’t you do with your shield bash?”

“… If I hit it with the Giant Shield I summoned as a test before, it seems like everything will work out…”

“That’s it!”

“B-but it’s so heavy for me that it takes an incredibly long time to swing it once! “Even a monster that big can’t hit it with my speed!”

“… I will guide that somehow. “Let that monster put its head into your shield bash.”

“Well, that’s dangerous! And what if you make a mistake and get hit?!”

“Hey, Kang Hye-eun. I am Hanmin. Isn’t it just a matter of avoiding your shield bash while luring monsters? And there is no other way in the first place.”

“…”

“At best, Taekyung asked us to take care of it, but what if something goes wrong with the operation because of us?”

“… “I don’t know, it’s really dangerous so don’t get hurt.”

“Okay! So the strategy has been decided? “Jihee knows even if you don’t say anything, right?”

“If Hye-eun breaks that ice wall, I can just attack there, right?”

“That’s correct, Jihee.”

A short operation hastily concocted with limited capabilities and means.

It was quite a risky operation, even for the three people who had been working together for a considerable amount of time, but they had no choice but to press ahead with the circumstances.

It was especially difficult to hope for support from other people who were dealing with two different heads.

Even for the sake of Seong Tae-kyung, who somehow trusted them to take care of one of his hair.

– Taaat!

As before, Han Min-ah is the first to rush into the gaze of the head on the right and begin to attract attention.

Thanks to the fast movements unique to the animal world hunter and the ears and tail that draw more attention from the monster, the right head of the basilisk began to shift its gaze to chase after Minah Han again.

As soon as Cheon Ji-hee and Han Min-ah stepped forward from behind her, Kang Hye-eun began using her own awakening ability to generate her massive shield.

A female warrior with an awakening ability and a protective shield, who creates a shield with her own energy and fights.

The two-meter shield created by her awakening ability gradually increased in size and began to grow to a gigantic size.

Kang Hye-eun began to use her endless energy to increase its size until she was able to touch her shield with the Basilisk’s head.

3 meters, 5 meters, 7 meters…

After doing so, she increased the size of her shield to 9.5 meters, the maximum size she could reliably wield.

Kang Hye-eun lifted a huge shield several times her own height with her entire body and began using her Shield Bash using all her remaining energy.

-Cugung… Kugu Palace…

“Huh! Ahhhhh… !!!”

Kang Hye-eun’s shield tilts forward with a grand sound, as if a huge building is collapsing.

Since her shield was made using her own energy, her weight itself was close to the minimum, but even so, there was no way it wouldn’t have been difficult to move her huge shield.

Her Shield Bash, which she had literally used with all her strength and energy, began to crumble and fall without her destination being determined.

“This way… ! This way… !!”

And in order for Kang Hye-eun to succeed in her one-time strike, Han Min-ah was also busy making fun of her steps behind her.

She guided the Basilisk’s right head towards the center of the huge shield she was wielding.

Just before getting hit between her shield and the monster’s head, she managed to escape in the nick of time.

-Kaaaaa!!!

Immediately after that, a loud crash sound was heard as if it echoed throughout the dungeon.

This was the moment when the largest, slowest, and heaviest Shield Bash hit the ice helmet.

Kang Hye-eun’s huge shield, which hit the lizard’s head, was soon scattered as if into pieces by Kang Hye-eun, who used all her strength.

Soon, along with the sound of her thick ice block continuously cracking, the ice helmet covering the right side of her head also began to break apart.

-Knock! Sigh! Gagagagagak!!

‘Kyaaaaa!!’

The right head of the Basilisk screams in pain as the ice helmet covering its neck and face shatters at once.

And there was no way Cheon Ji-hee could have missed the gap in the monster that was created like that.

Her kick, which used all her might to match the awakening ability known as the Giant’s Strike, exploded onto the back of the Basilisk’s head.

– Quad deud deud deuk!!!

‘Kee… !!’

-Cow!

It was the moment when the Basilisk’s head, unable to even scream, fell to the floor.

The head itself looked like it had been completely separated from the neck, to the extent that the expression ‘it was torn off’ best suited it.

The three melee hunters, who barely won the battle with just a few strikes, fell to the ground and continued to sigh.

“Ha, ha, ha…”

“Huh, huh, huh…”

“Huh, huh… Hehe…”

In a state of exhaustion, as if they could no longer get up without all their strength, the three people shifted their gaze to the last remaining battle between Seong Tae-kyung and Lulucia.

This is all they can do.

All that was left now was the final finishing touches between the two.
