“Well, you guys don’t move even a bit from here. I will be taking this battle alone~”
Hein’s loud and imposing voice resonated in the whole place. The girl’s expression became rigid when they heard him.
He was going to fight alone? With that entire horde of monster? With an S-BOSS monster?
Was that even possible?
Is he not afraid to die?
However, at that moment Hein’s eye looked sharp.
He looked extremely frivolous as if he didn’t seem like he’s joking.
Gulp!
The girls behind him couldn’t help but only swallowed their saliva as they watch the back of this daring, unrestrained and frivolous young man.
They looked impatient and doubtful.
Fear enveloped their heated hearts, especially Marie whose brows knitted together in worry but she didn’t say anything because she understands.
Hero would never say anything he didn’t mean.
However, for those who didn’t knew him they all just thought that Hein was just forcing himself to be brave and look good.
Yes, he was the strongest player in the world but how could he compete with dozens of monsters as well as the two high leveled BOSS monsters?
That’s just seeking death!
When the Serpent king heard Hein’s words, a cold and evil expression appeared in his eyes. He was fighting them alone?
He’s not putting him, the king in his eyes and really dared to humiliate him like that?
An insane brutal and terrifying pressure suddenly filled the atmosphere.
All the girl’s present, excluding Iona and Hein, could feel death is approaching making their bodies trembled and knees wobbled.
They can see that behind the serpent king was a huge snake spirit that looks like a dragon, glaring at them.
All of them suffered from the pressure, instilling them with negative debuff [ Fear ].
“Calm down….” Said Hein whose eyes didn’t look sharp anymore instead he looked extremely calm.
With his unique skill [ Gamers’ Heart and Mind ], nothing could affect his state of mind.
Looking at the surrounding, his gaze landed on the hissing huge snake.
“Ashley” Hein called.
“Yes, young master!” As soon as her name was called, she hurriedly step forward while looking at him with concern.
The girls at the back moved their eyes to her as their expressions turned shock and disbelief.
What did he call him? Young Master?
They thought. Even Marie shot them with skeptical gaze.
Hein ignored the crowd as he smiled and said, “Ashley I want you to fight that overgrown snake with Iona.”
As soon as he said this, Ashley looked at him with astonishment and disbelief.
Not because she was fighting but because of who’s she’s fighting with…
Her eyes then shifted to the red-haired little girl.
“This… young master…. but she’s…” Ashley doesn’t know what to say. Her words stuttering.
“I know what you want to say but for now deal with it and besides you should not underestimate her she’s way stronger than you….. or even me” Hein said with a calm tone.
That’s right, aside from her childish looks, Iona was basically the very definition of a monster. With level of 368, even that serpent king might not be her match at all…
— But because she was reduced to this state, Iona’s current power isn’t sufficient to deal with the S-BOSS monster; Serpent King.
Although she still couldn’t remember anything and her powers was completely sealed but if it’s burning everything, Hein believe that Iona was a genius…
Hein couldn’t forget the time he brought Iona with him to play in the forest near [ Haran City ] where she almost burn half of the forest because of some wolves scaring her…
Hein bitterly smiled as he remembers what happened and then turned his eyes to his cute and lovable daughter.
“Iona is that okay with you?”
“Uun! But papa, my reward?”
“Hm…. let’s see, let’s talk about it after we’re done~”
“Okay!”
“… but promise me, don’t overdo it. Let big sister Ashley fight the monster, you just need to help her from the distance… okay?” Hein reminded her.
Even if she’s very strong, she is still a little girl after all. As a modern gentleman, Hein wasn’t comfortable of letting a little girl fight … even if she was strong like Iona.
“Eh?… but…”
“Promise me…”
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“Okay!”
Hein gently stroke Iona’s head and smile.
If not for the S-BOSS monster, he would never allow Iona to fight.
However, he knows that he would never win if he tries to act tough and challenge both BOSS monsters.
Besides, although Ashley is strong he still doubted that she can defeat it. With her level only at 37 she will just die pitifully.
Hein also don’t want to endanger the other girl’s lives.
They were still tired and weak from the battle earlier, even if they gang up on the giant snake, chances of winning were still very low.
That’s why he reluctantly let Iona whose real level exceeded them by a large margin to fight.
“Hero… this…” Marie wanted to ask something but she was cut off by him.
“We will talk after we left this place. For now, just stay there and rest…”
After saying so, he then ordered Ashley and Iona to act immediately.
Looking at the group of monsters, Hein slowly chanted,
“O’ undying flames that burns the sinner! Engulf this king’s body and protect it from harm! Unleash your wrath upon those who were wicked! Whether man or God, turn them to ashes upon my will! And cover the ground with your raging flames! …………[ Scorched Hell ]”
Under the surprised faces of the girl’s and monsters, the ground was instantly covered with flames.
All the hideous monsters began screaming in agony one by one as their [ HP ] was slowly decreasing.
“That chant… is that an SSS magic spell?” One of the girl exclaimed.
Even Marie herself couldn’t believe it as her mouth remained wide open.
SSS magic spell is the dreams of all mages like her, after all… who could expect that they would be able to see it today?
“Oh my god! I’ve heard about those super strong magic spell but this… this is too strong!”
“How did he obtain it? How can someone obtain a strong SSS magic spell like this in this early stage?”
“This is just too absurd!!!…. wait, what!? Hey guys, check your HP recovery!”
“Eh? what…. wha-! What the hell is this!? My recovery rate increased so fast!?”
The women behind Hein couldn’t help but exclaimed in surprised.
It couldn’t be helped, this is one of the strongest magic spell after all~
Smiling wryly, Hein casted a [ Flame Barrier ] around them. After preparing himself, he began walking towards the screaming monsters.
The monsters fell into chaos as they staggered to move while doing their best to stand up.
Fortunately, all of the monsters inside this dungeon were all Reptile based monsters, if not; Hein would have a very hard time killing them.
One of the Reptile based monsters weakness was fire, that is why with the help of the SSS magic spell [ Scorched Hell ] even the S-BOSS serpent king couldn’t help but trembled in anxiety even just a little.
A lizardman who was staggering to stand thrust its spear towards Hein. With a swift motion, he easily passed below the outstretched spear and then kicked the monster flying.
Hein looked at the surrounding with evil, cold smile and then used a skill.
“[ Flash Movement ]”
At that moment, Hein appeared behind some monsters that were staggering to move towards his former position.
“Keek?”
“[ Flame Sword ]”
Hein, upon activating his skill, wielded the sword wrapped in flames and brought it down.
[ Flame Sword ]. A skill he comprehended with his own using his imagination, by using the [ Rune Demonic Blade ] innate ability [ Elemental Coat ].
“[ Flash Movement ]”
Hein continuously moved along the place while killing the weakened monsters.
The monsters couldn’t avoid it because of the flames wrapped in their bodies, decreasing their health. You can say that for reptilian monsters…. Hein himself is their natural nemesis.
The S-BOSS monster seeing his minions getting killed have become more enraged as he shouted, “Get rid of that damn human!!!”
There were some lizardman archers who immediately moved.
In the distance there were also [ Flame Salamanders ] who haven’t taken any real damage from the flames, shooting him with fireballs.
Looking at this desperate struggle, Hein only smiled wryly as he leaned his back a little. He then took a deep breath and then,
“Roooooooaaaaaaaaarrrr!!!”
A breath as mighty as the dragons.
