章 31: Boss fight part- 2
Finally, the boss displayed its hostility.
"…You seem to know some petty tricks, don't you? Fine. If it's your wish, I shall grant your death."
The boss unsheathed two daggers from his sides.
This was what Jin-Woo wanted, as well. He grasped the 'Knight Killer' in his right hand, while the left grasped the 'Poison Fang of Kasaka' as he got ready for battle.
Izayoi: "Bring it on bastiches."
Gil: "Mongrels."
He summoned his shadows. According to his wishes, the soldiers hiding in Jin-Woo's shadow all revealed themselves in the blink of an eye right behind him.
"Uwa?! Uwaaak!"
Again, the cry came from the Hunters this time as well.
Yun Ki-Joong cried out in fright as the shadow of the Ice Bear, the shadow beast soldier, suddenly materialised right next to him and he fell hard on his ass.
"Ah, ahh…."
When Jin-Woo took a glance at the pale faces of the surviving raid team, he felt that it was a bit regretful, but this was an emergency situation. There was no time to explain things to them here.
'Well, I wouldn't explain things to them even if this wasn't an emergency, though.'
He summoned his shadows. According to his wishes, the soldiers hiding in Jin-Woo's shadow all revealed themselves in the blink of an eye right behind him.
"Uwa?! Uwaaak!"

Jin-Woo might hold an advantage in numbers, but his 'army' was slightly lacking if he wanted to hunt the boss down.
"Attack!"
When the boss issued the order, the White Phantoms pulled on their bowstrings.
"Bears!"
Jin-Woo placed the beast soldiers at the front.
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!
Kkrrroooar!!
The beast soldiers, with arrows sticking out of their bodies, all roared out in anger.
Before the White Phantoms could nock the next volley of arrows, the infantrymen rushed forward. The magic soldiers also began chanting their spells.
Izayoi: "Time to end this shit." Izayoi lifted his leg and then brought it down like an axe kick to the ground. The attack caused a crack and all the elves fell into it.
Gil: "Burn." He cast a fire spell at the trapped elves, burning them all to ashes.
All the others there were shocked. Two kids less than 15 years old, just destroyed an army of elves. Even high A rank hunters couldn't accomplish such a feat.
A member of the party looked at another one next to him.
"Uhm…. So, like, shouldn't we lend assistance here?"
The ground was split, giant monsters remains and blood everywhere.
'So, what can a rank B or C do in this place?'
Park Hui-Jin shook her head.
"This isn't a fight where we can butt in, you know."
'You're mine!'
Jin-Woo deliberately pushed Kim Cheol's longsword towards its owner with his heel, before pouncing forward himself as well.
His sight was fixed solely on the boss of the White Phantoms. The boss too was waiting for Jin-Woo's arrival.
Soon, sparks endlessly flew as the four daggers wielded by two creatures clashed in mid-air.
Clang! Clang!! Clllaang!!
Gil looked at Kim Cheol, who picked his weapon to attack Jin-Woo and launched a sword at him; destroying half of his body.
Izayoi: "Let's help him out a bit.", Izayoi swung his hand in the air, creating a shock to attack the boss.
Jin-Woo took advantage of the situation and started attacking more fiercely.
Stab!
The 'Poison Fang of Kasaka' stabbed into the boss's shoulder.
['Effect: Paralysis' has been activated.]
[The effect has been cancelled due to the high resistance of the target.]
['Effect: Bleeding' has been activated.]
[The effect has been cancelled due to the high resistance of the target.]
With the increased levels of the enemies he'd been facing lately, the additional effects of the 'Poison Fang of Kasaka' failed to activate properly more often than not.
Still, inflicting injuries was a good thing in a fight.
'Nice!'
The boss's agile movements were being hampered gradually due to the increasing number of wounds being inflicted on its body.
"Keuahahahk!!"
The smile had disappeared from the boss's face a long time ago. The attack from Izayoi put sufficient damage to his ribs. He was running out breath every moment.
Jin-Woo dodged them his attacks, and order his magic soldiers to attack. His body was destroyed.
Even with that damage, the boss could still fight. Jin-Woo used his skills [Dash] and [Stealth] to attack the boss again.
Before went for any attack, he extracted the soul from Kim Cheol and turned him into an iron soldier.
The black knight that emerged from Kim Cheol's shadow was far bigger and sturdier than the original version. And it even carried a huge war hammer in one hand as well.
Without wasting much time, Jin-Woo named it Iron.
As soon as Jin-Woo thought of that name, it was bestowed on the newly-birthed shadow knight.
[Iron Lv. 1]
Knight grade.
A knight grade!
It was the same grade as Igrit, but again, there was no time to celebrate.
Jin-Woo simply smirked. At the same time, a huge war hammer slammed into the head of the boss.
SLAM!!
The boss's face crashed into the snowy ground.
Behind the boss, Iron was raising his hammer up high again, both of his arms already fully regenerated.
The huge hammer flew down again.
Swooooosh-!!
Splat!!
Igrit was getting ready to attack, but then, sheathed his sword back into the scabbard attached to his waist.
Jin-Woo also stored his daggers back inside the Inventory.
And the expected messages popped up right away.
Tti-ring.
[You've killed the owner of this dungeon.]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
'Whew, it's finally over.'
Jin-Woo sighed grandly in relief.
Izayoi: "Even with soldiers, you are still so damn weak. What a waste of time."
Jin-Woo: "Seriously?!"
---------------------------------------------------------------
It was now 3 AM.
The facial expressions of four men waiting around the Red Gate were, as expected, not so good.
Unable to endure any longer, Hyun Ki-Cheol finally opened his mouth.
"Guild Master, we'll remain here and wait, so how about going home first, sir?"
"My Guild members are trapped in there, so how can I even think about going home to relax now?"
Baek Yun-Ho was resolute in his decision. Indeed, that wasn't something the leader of a large Guild, not to mention as a currently-active rank S Hunter, should entertain under this sort of situation.
It was here that Ahn Sahng-Min's eyed widened.
"Huh? Look, the Red Gate!!"
Hyun Ki-Cheol and Joo Sung-Chan also discovered an oddity with the Red Gate.
"The, the Red Gate is opening up!!"
"The dungeon's been cleared!"
"There are… there are people coming out!!"
Baek Yun-Ho clenched his fists tightly.
'That Kim Cheol!! Did he manage to pull it off?'
Everyone waiting there hurriedly rushed towards the front of the Gate.
Baek Yun-Ho, unable to hide his excitement, began searching for the leader of this team, Kim Cheol.
However…. even though all of the survivors came out, the big guy couldn't be seen.
'Uh? Huh? This can't be right.'
The one who had been insisting on believing in Kim Cheol, Joo Sung-Chan's previously confident attitude was gone now, and his expression was getting warped as well.
"Park Hui-Jin Hunter-nim!! Goh Myung-Hwan, Yun Ki-Joong Hunter-nim!!"
"Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim!!"
"It's those kids."
After spotting Jin-Woo walking along with Hahn Song-Yi right behind the others, Ahn Sahng-Min's face was quickly filled up with a huge smile.
'I thought as much!'
It was such a noticeable contrast from the face of Joo Sung-Chan.
However, his smile also faded away quickly. When five people, including Seong Jin-Woo, walked out from the Gate, the portal to another world slowly disappeared from their view.
"It can't be…. Is this everyone?"
Jin-Woo nodded his head, looking rather exhausted.
Hyun Ki-Cheol had asked that question, and after getting that silent answer, his expression hardened instantly.
'How can this be….?'
Hyun Ki-Cheol's eyes teared up, and he reluctantly began crossing out the names of the deceased of the member list. This was a terrible job, but it had to be done regardless.
Baek Yun-Ho had been staring at this in a daze, before gasping out in sheer shock and disbelief.
'Only the lower-ranked Hunters and kids returned?! Never mind the A rank, only a single rank B survived?!'
Such a thing should not happen. Just what on earth happened inside that dungeon?
"Let's go. I'll take you home."
Jin-Woo was about to lead Hahn Song-Yi and leave the location, but Baek Yun-Ho reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"Excuse me. Wait."
Slap!
Jin-Woo fiercely shook off that hand. Baek Yun-Ho's eyes sharpened immediately.
"We need to talk for a second here."
Gil: "If all your bullshit is over, I am leaving too."
Izayoi: "It was a bit entertaining, I guess."
"Kids, you both need to stay too."
Jin-Woo turned around.
"I'm too tired. If you have questions, you should ask your own Guild members."
