Chapter 569 – Battle of the Three-Headed Basilisk (5)

Lulucia and I came face to face with the middle head of the three-headed basilisk.

Some may ask whether it was even possible for two people to deal with the main head, the middle head, but it was unavoidable due to the nature of the poisonous attack that the middle head spewed out.

Among these members, the only ones who could resist that guy’s poison were me and Lulucia.

Still, I was fortunate in that I was able to play the roles of vanguard, main dealer, and even assistant.

As soon as I started, my body sparkled and lit up several times thanks to Lulucia, who had bestowed upon me by reciting all sorts of blessings.

Her body, which became more than twice lighter than usual, seemed to prove the divine power she possessed.

‘Pahaaaaa… !’

“Come, Lulucia!”

“Yes!!”

As soon as it starts, the middle head attacks by spraying poisonous breath from its mouth.

The poisonous gas that leaked from its snout exploded at Lulucia and me from the start.

We immediately wrapped our bodies with our own sacred power and purified the poisonous gas spreading to both sides with our bodies.

Its deadly venom itself had no effect on us. Just by fighting with the divine power of purification wrapped around your body, everything will be completely purified.

Needless to say, I was a saint who was like a walking bag of divine power, and I could constantly replenish my divine power with energy and magic potions.

As long as the purification speed itself was supported, withstanding the attack itself was not a big problem.

Until the other colleagues on both sides deal with the remaining heads, Lulucia and I have only this role to play.

Our job now was to prevent other hunters fighting on the left and right from being poisoned by the poison leaking from the center head.

In any case, in its current state, no matter how hard you slam the mithril sword into its head, it won’t go in well, and even if it goes in, it will quickly recover thanks to its unique regenerative power.

Until a stable attack is possible, there is no choice but to wait for other colleagues to somehow deal with the two heads on both sides.

I had to somehow get the middle head’s attention to focus on me and Lulucia until the other battles were over.

So that other companions are not poisoned by its poison during battle.

‘Keeeeek… !’

“This time it’s poison! Be careful, Taekyung!”

“Yes!”

It seemed like it was a poisonous gas earlier, but this time it was poisonous liquid.

Apparently, this guy was the cause of all the poisonous lakes in Area A.

On the contrary, if you just kill this guy, it will be possible to gradually purify the poisonous lake in Area A in the future.

In addition, reclaiming this abandoned village that had been taken over by monsters would not be a distant task.

Of course, such a good idea could only happen after defeating this three-headed basilisk.

-Wow!

“Taekyung!”

I could hear Lucia’s voice worrying about me and panicking at the poison that had been poured into my body, but there was no particular problem.

My body, armed with all the saint’s protection, and the purifying divine power surrounding me were purifying even highly concentrated poison at once.

The venom emitted from her middle head did not even cause any real damage to my strong body and only produced a fine amount of smoke.

… Wait, smoke?

“… Ah.”

My clothes, which had been hit hard by the basilisk’s poison, were slowly burning and corroding.

It seemed that the cause was a direct hit of highly concentrated poison. Because clothes were a separate part of my body.

The poison that had worked before my divine power purified the entire deadly poison damaged the clothes I was wearing.

It didn’t matter because I was lucky that nothing was wrong with my body itself. … Of course, after the battle, you will have to change your clothes.

“Taekyung, are you okay?!”

“… It’s okay, Lulucia. “Thanks to your protection and purification, I was not harmed.”

After reassuring Lulucia, who asked in a worried voice, she put the mithril sword in her hand into her subspace pocket.

If you hold it for no reason and the weapon gets corroded by poison, it could cause problems in battle.

Of course, I couldn’t store the clothes I was wearing, so I had no choice but to endure this, but from now on, I needed to avoid being hit too directly by the poison.

So, together with Lulucia, we are blocking the poisonous liquid and toxic gas spreading to both sides and drawing the attention of the center head.

Meanwhile, other colleagues began to report victory one by one from both heads.

– Quad deud deud deuk!!

‘Keeeee… !!’

The left head of the three-headed basilisk exploded with a short, death-like scream.

I was able to figure out right away that it was an attack using Cha Yu-ri’s linked magic with Si-hee’s vision arrow.

I was even able to find Cha Yu-ri and Dosi-hee floating in the air where I was dealing with the left head, who had just used a linked technique.

-Knock! Gagagagagagak!!

At the same time, a loud sound like a building collapsing suddenly began to be heard from the other side.

It took some time to realize that it was a shield bash using Hyeeun’s giant shield.

The armor of the guy who seemed to be wearing a giant ice helmet was shattered by her giant shield.

‘Shaaaaagh… !!’

– Quad deud deuk!

‘Shaaa…’

And as soon as the shield bash ended, Cheon Ji-hee’s kick immediately hit the right side of the head.

As soon as I confirmed that both heads were out of combat, I ran towards the middle head.

Because this moment was the only chance to kill the Three-Headed Basilisk.

“Lucia! Now let’s finish it in one shot! “I’ll ask you to purify it by yourself for a moment!”

“Ah, I understand, Taekyung!”

Up until now, I had only focused on blocking the poison for my other colleagues fighting on both sides, but now it was time to finish.

An opportunity that will not come again after the guy’s other head is regenerated. If it is a boss monster, it will probably be able to regenerate the destroyed head within a few minutes.

Since I had to finish it in such a short amount of time, without hesitation I leapt with all my might towards the last remaining head of the three-headed basilisk.

After flying up in the air towards the last remaining head, I stabbed it right between the eyes with my mithril greatsword with all my might.

-Quad!

‘Gyaaaaah… !’

“… !!”

Sure enough, it worked.

At least it wasn’t at the level where it just made a shallow scratch and bounced off like before. The tip of the blade looked like it was stuck between the eyebrows.

All you have to do is push it further inward with all your energy… !

‘Gyaaagh! ‘Gyaaaaa!!’

“Wow… !”

However, with the mithril greatsword pushed halfway in, the last remaining head of the basilisk began to resist fiercely.

The guy shook his head violently to shake me off between his eyebrows.

A giant reptile of this size could not help but have enormous power just by shaking its head from side to side, so I managed to stow the mithril greatsword just before my body was thrown out of its body and landed on the floor.

“Taekyung, are you okay?!”

“… Yes, no problem.”

Although this was the verbal answer, in reality there were many problems.

It was a good opportunity to blow off the other two heads of the three-headed basilisk, so I had to end it somehow in this attack.

It wasn’t really good news that it fell off the guy’s head without being able to land a proper blow.

Moreover, since the first attack ended in failure, there was not much time or opportunity left.

The remaining heads have already begun to wriggle a little and show signs of regeneration within a few minutes, so once regeneration is complete, it will return to the original durability of the three-headed basilisk.

It was virtually impossible to conduct a second subjugation battle with other hunters who were quite exhausted in their respective positions.

‘Somehow, I have to finish it this time.’

The lives of seven people depended on the next blow I swung.

And the lives of my seven comrades who decided to stay and fight until the end.

While I was thinking about how to annihilate the creature with the next blow, its mouth opened once again with all its force and began to prepare to spew out venom.

As soon as I saw its open snout, a flash of thought flashed through my mind.

‘Keeeeek… !’

‘This is it…’ !’

If the outer skin is too hard, just cut off the soft part on the inside.

As soon as I saw that its snout was fully open, I jumped into its mouth without hesitation.

The voices of other colleagues who had witnessed my dangerous actions began to be heard from behind.

“Taekyung?! “It’s dangerous!”

“Tae, Tae-kyung!”

“Seongcheol!”

“Mr. Seongcheol!”

“Hey, Seong Tae-kyung!”

I feel sorry for making them worry, but the final attack that will put my life on the line has already begun.

Since the divine power of purification was flowing through my body anyway, the poisonous liquid was not a problem at all.

… However, it was dangerous because if this attack failed, there would be no escape.

However, that was not a reason to hesitate in trying.

In the final battle, where everyone was already fighting to the death, it wasn’t that strange for me to risk my life as a stake in victory.

‘Huh?!’

As soon as I entered the mouth of the three-headed basilisk, which had its mouth full of venom and was preparing to spit it out, the basilisk closed its mouth in surprise, as if it had swallowed a bug.

And I took out the mithril greatsword that I had kept in my subspace pocket from inside the guy’s snout.

Finally, with the intention of using all my remaining energy, I just thrust my energy into the upper part of its snout.

“Aaaaahhh… !!!”

-Fuuuk!!

‘Geueuuuuu… !!!’

The roof of the basilisk’s mouth, which is much softer than its outer shell, is easily cut by a mithril greatsword.

Perhaps because of the pain, the boy’s screams began to sound loudly in his throat, and of course it was not a very pleasant experience.

Still, the effect was more certain than anything else.

Holding the handle of the mithril sword that was pushed into the roof of my mouth, I swung it forward with the intention of cutting his head in half.

My greatsword fell forward with all kinds of complicated sounds of bones, flesh, and skin being torn apart.

-Chaaaaa!!

‘Huh…’

The middle head of the three-headed basilisk, unable to finish its scream and dying.

It was the moment when the long and difficult subjugation war came to an end.
