When the fiery claw and the trident clash, a terrifying impact discharged everywhere.

The turbulence was like a hurricane, spreading out inside the whole room.

The walls have even cracked like a spider web because of the huge impact. There were several monsters on the ground that couldn't react was knocked away by the clash.

If not because of the [ Flame Barrier ], maybe the girls staying there would have blown like those monsters.

Rocks and dust filled the air, as nothing could be seen beside it.

The sounds of clashing stopped and there were even no movements inside it.

The stunned girls looked silently.

An atmosphere of nervousness spread.

The air was as if it was solidified.

Even the flames in the ground have already disappeared, only leaving some smokes and ashes.

In that instant...

"What's happening?! What's with that huge explosions?!!"

"We don't have the time to worry about that! We need to make sure that all of them were alive!"

"But we can't see anything because of the dust!"

... ... numerous voices echoed in the quiet room.

Hearing some familiar voices mixed in, the girl's body trembled.

"Guild leader!! Where are you!? Where here to rescue you!"

Angela heard a shout from across the room. "Jess?" she muttered.

She then squinted her eyes to saw many silhouettes.

When the dust finally thinned out, few flags can be seen. After seeing this flags, the girls finally understand their identities as their hearts couldn't help but moved.

Their eyes started to tear up as of now they really felt that they will surely be saved.

"The reinforcements were here!!!" Some of the girls beside Marie and Angela shouted.

Their voices were filled with delight and excitement.

They are here... sooner than I expected. I thought it will take a bit longer but now... Angela thought as she let out a breath of relief.

"These voices... they're alive!" A girl shouted.

"Thank god!... everyone, be careful! There might be enemies somewhere!" Receiving the command, the players immediately prepared their weapons.

However, before they could move forward, two silhouettes suddenly attracted their attentions.

One looks like a young man but has a pair of wings and tail.

The other also looks like a man but its lower part was; instead of feet, it was so long it looks like a tail of a snake.

The players were dumbfounded.

Were this two the monster BOSSes they heard about?

Thinking like this, they immediately prepared their weapons but then...

The dust finally settled, revealing the two silhouettes complete appearance.

One is a young man, holding a black sword and has two fiery wings and tail. His hair was crimson red and his body was slightly covered with flames that look like scales.

The other was a middle age looking man with a lower part of a snake. He looks like those 'Lamia' in the stories everyone knew. He was holding a blue colored trident.

Both of them exude a majestic and powerful presence that could instill fear and awe to anyone looking at them.

Seeing them, all of the players in the rescue team were greatly startled.

Wasn't it only one S-BOSS monster? Why are there two strong looking monsters? Don't tell me, one of them is a lower ranked monster? How can that be?

Rattled, they immediately prepared their magic spells and weapons. Some archers loaded their bows with arrows and

then aim at the two monsters in front of them.

But before they could attack, a shout suddenly echoed in the room.

"Stop! Don't shoot!!!" A woman's voice filled with alarmed and sounded desperate stopped their movements.

They then turned their heads to look towards where the voice is coming from.

"Don't attack! Hero... ah no, I mean, the player Hein Vilestone is still fighting!"

When the name [ Hein Vilestone ] resounded in the room, all the players immediately turned their eyes towards the two figures.

"H, Hein Vilestone? You mean THAT Hein Vilestone?"

"What where? Which is he?"

"Wait! From what I know, the S-BOSS monster is the Serpent king so that means that old man with a snake body is the serpent king.... then that means"

"Hein Vilestone is that dude with a cool wings and tail? Heavens! So cool!"

"Wow! So that's the famous [ Phantom ]? Oh my god, he's so cool!"

The rescue team was now in chaos, screaming and shouting excitedly.

--------------------

Ignoring the new arrived players, the two were now backing in a stand still.

Hein's flaming red hair was constantly swaying with the wind. His facial expression looked very calm and solemn.

"Old man.... you're really a monster, aren't you?" Hein jokingly said while smiling.

Hearing his words, the serpent king laughed, "That's what I want to say about you, you freak!"

"Old man, better retired now and let the young generations take over~"

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

"Hahaha, you young one's still don't have enough experience to take our place!"

Smiling, Hein swung his black sword down and rushed towards the serpent king.

The serpent king appeared arrogant and calm but was actually inwardly vigilant.

He had already experienced Hein's power with his body; he would be an idiot if he still didn't increase his vigilance and treat him as a threat.

The serpent king roared and swung the trident downwards.

With a 'Clang' sound, their weapons once again clashed in the air.

As the dust spread out throughout the air, strikes upon strikes of metallic clashes could be heard.

Sparks could be seen as the sounds of the impacts sounding like constant roar of thunder.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!"

"Graaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!"

Two battle cries intertwined at each other.

Their yell that seemed to make Heaven and Earth tremble resounded in the place.

*Clang! *Peng! *Bang! *Peng! *Boom!

Violent clashes sounded in the whole room.

In this instant, the battle had already entered its climax.

The serpent king might be powerful compared to Hein but Hein countered it with his extreme and sturdy body remodeled from the powerful dragons and the instant regeneration that came from the almighty phoenix.

Powerful strength and might against Instant regeneration and dragon-like body and strength!

On the serpent king's face, trace of fatigue could be seen and countless wounds littered in his body but it was overshadowed by indifference and haughtiness.

On the other hand, Hein's face also has a hint of fatigue but his strong willpower overshadowed it. His clothes have

already torn to shreds but not even a single wound can be seen from it.

This is the real power of the phoenix!

The explosive clashes pushed the dust and rubble aside.

From the shockwaves caused by the impacts of their weapons clashing radiating towards all areas, the rubbles and rocks shot through the air like arrows with a chilling whistle.

Inside the dust, the clashes of sword and trident were emitted constantly as if gods and demons were shouting.

Their two figures that moved at a speed where naked eyes couldn't follow could faintly see in the dust.

For every players present, this battle was not like they've ever seen before.

They could only stand there stupefied. This was really beyond their imagination.

What's worse is that, one of the two fighting is someone like them.

A human!

A flesh and blood human, more so a very young man. This was really too impossible and absurd!

It was a very high level battle that no one had ever seen anything before.

Truthfully, battles done by players were only a graceless brandishing of weapons at close range or even only showing off their magic spells.

Defense and evasion, insight and techniques... these things can only be done by experienced martial artists or very high level players.

Fight such as this, were two people faced each other head on can only be seen a few times.

But this time, the fight between Hein and an S-BOSS monster was much, much more than that!

Majestic and ornate swords dancing and tearing the air, high speed fight and extreme clashing of weapons that can only be found in stories and light novels....

They felt as if they were watching some anime or movies.

Witnessing such an amazing battle, their brain froze and their scalps got numbed from awe.

"This... just what the heck is this!? What kind of power is this?!!"

"S, so that's the power of a real S-BOSS monster?"

"Forget about that!!! Look at that! Look who's fighting that monster! Is that really a human? Can we also do that if we became high leveled players?"

"Impossible!!! No human can do that! Just how the hell did he get that kind of power!"

The players who were deathly silent and can only watched with wide eyes suddenly became animated.

Shock and disbelief can be seen in their faces...

"Heavens, look at that body! So incredible!" An infatuated female player shouted loudly.

Some of her female comrades also look at Hein with their eyes gleamed when they saw Hein's slender figure but still had a hint of masculine beauty.

Because of his clothes being torn apart, his upper body can faintly be seen.

This well toned body that has only the right amount of muscles quickly attracted the gazes of countless female players.

"This is the final showdown old maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!"

With the black sword in his right hand, Hein blocked the serpent king's trident as it came down towards him. His left hand was hidden behind him so it could not be seen.

"Brat, I will send you to the after lifeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"

The serpent king roared as he raised his trident in the air. The blue trident above his head suddenly rotated.
