“Is that guy the boss monster?”
“That’s right . He is the boss monster . We were lucky to find him, but we couldn’t attempt a raid . It is because he makes me shiver just looking at him . ”
In response to Hyeonu’s question, the leader of Team Shadow, Tony reached out and pointed to the centaur who didn’t appear much different from ordinary centaurs .
‘Wow . . . He is full of muscles . ’ Hyeonu marveled at the boss monster . The boss monster wasn’t much bigger than the usual centaurs, but his entire body was covered with muscles that looked as hard as armor .
‘Based on this body, he will likely have tremendous speed and strength . ’
This type was a very demanding boss monster . It wasn’t just reckless strength . He was of moderate size, used moderate strength, and had fast movements . Additionally, he was half-human and half-horse, so he would be fairly intelligent .
“I can see why you didn’t even attempt it . ”
“Right? I’ve been playing Arena for quite a while now, so my discerning eyes rang the alarm bell . ”
Hyeonu nodded at Tony’s words . It was possible to carry out a solo raid with a combination of excellent skills, items, and ability, but this group was extremely ordinary compared to him . At best, they only had a few unique items and skills . Hyeonu told them, “Then we should get started quickly . It will be a pain if we drag out the time and other people see it . ”
“However, aren’t you using your pet?”
Hyeonu nodded once again at Tony’s question . “I don’t think I need to use him . There is a priest who is about to advance to the third class in the party anyway . ”
“Yes . . . I see . I understand . ” Tony smiled at Hyeonu’s words .
‘Is it because I praised his priest?’ Hyeonu thought .
They had only known each other for a short time, but Tony didn’t seem that frivolous . Hyeonu felt that something was a bit strange . ‘Is he so happy that he is laughing like this?’
Hyeonu’s senses, developed from years of gaming, warned him of a crisis . ‘I have to hide Tang-E well . ’
He would make use of the fact that the Team Shadow members thought Tang-E’s summoning circle was quite flashy . This was the scene of Tang-E’s summoning that they had seen, so it was natural to think so . They didn’t have any pets, so they didn’t know much .
‘If they try to hit me in the back of the head, I’ll let them know what they are actually aiming at my forehead . ’
A cruel smile appeared on the face of the masked Hyeonu .
Hyeonu and Team Shadow approached the vicinity of the centaur boss and were currently preparing for the raid . Hyeonu aimed his timing at this gap and summoned Tang-E in the bushes . Then he barely moved his mouth as he gave orders to Tang-E . ‘Hide and buff me every hour . If anything goes wrong, use magic . ’
Tang-E seemed to understand Hyeonu’s words and acted immediately . First, he cast buffs on Hyeonu . As usual, the buffs were adjusted, so there were no outward indications .

Shortly thereafter, Tang-E hid so well that Hyeonu wouldn’t have found his location if Hyeonu hadn’t been watching from the beginning .
‘Okay . I’m ready . ’
Hyeonu casually started to issue orders for the raid . “Priests, please buff in the order from me to the tankers and damage dealer . The tankers and damage dealers only need to act as practiced . ”
“I understand . ” The priest of Team Shadow nodded at Hyeonu’s words and placed buffs on Hyeonu .
This was Hyeonu’s plan . It was better to be hit in the back of the head after receiving the buffs . The buffs used by a priest on the verge of reaching level 200 brought about a huge stats increase . It was better to have something than nothing .

Team Shadow’s priest was a priest of the Sun Temple . The Sun Temple didn’t only have the Liru Monks . They also had priests with the most divine magic . As such, the buff effects were excellent .
‘Okay . ’
“Then I will start . Enter as soon as you receive the buff . ”
Hyeonu jumped toward the centaur boss monster .
Once Hyeonu left for the centaur, Team Shadow gathered together and started the meeting .
“What should we do? I gave him the buffs because of the atmosphere,” the priest player complained to Tony .
The priest was on the verge of crying . Due to his mistake, the original plan was completely disrupted .
Tony calmly analyzed the situation and came up with an answer . “What is the duration of the buff? 25 minutes? We can’t kill the boss monster anyway, so let’s plan it for around 20 minutes from now . Strike when the buff ends . We just need to hit him with one or two spells and a few arrows, and any player will fall down, even if it is Alley Leader . ”
However, they were something they failed to consider .
“He also hasn’t summoned his pet . Don’t you know that the pet buffs are a big part of Alley Leader’s power? This is the perfect opportunity . It is just a little delayed . ”
Hyeonu had already thought of the possibility of their betrayal and hid his secret weapon . Tony would never be able to catch Hyeonu unaware .
“Then let’s work harder . We will kill both Alley Leader and the boss monster while receiving money . This is a great opportunity, and we have to grab it . ”
The ignorant were so brave . They weren’t scared of anything because they didn’t know anything .
‘Bah . It is as Master dude expected . ’

Hiding not far from Team Shadow, Tang-E listened to their conversation and clenched his paws tightly .
‘They are suspicious like Master dude said . ’
They were planning to kill Hyeonu with attacks disguised as mistakes .
‘However, Master dude is too scary . Master dude is already ready for them . ’
Hyeonu first thought that they might hit him in the back of the head, so he then hid Tang-E here .
Although Hyeonu probably didn’t know their plans, he noticed the crisis using his monster-like senses .
“The stupid humans targeting Master dude are going to die today . ”
It was always like this .
Tang-E smiled at Team Shadow .
The centaur captain’s weapon was a sword with blue blades on both sides of the handle . It was a weapon commonly called a double-edged sword . The centaur’s unique agile movements combined with the double-edged sword, and the centaur captain’s attacks poured down like a summer shower .
Nevertheless, Hyeonu easily dodged the centaur captain’s attack with leisurely movements like he was walking . His movement speed, which was elevated by various buffs, made it possible . Hyeonu could move a few meters by simply moving his feet once . He didn’t have to grit his teeth tightly while moving .
‘Something is suspicious? They’re too slow to join . ’
Team Shadow’s behavior was too lacking for them to be called rankers .
. . . Or they were deliberately delaying the time it took to join him . Perhaps they weren’t used to not buffing their main tanker and having the fight start straight away . However, it was unlikely that they could top the rankings among hundreds of millions of people if they couldn’t adapt to this level . Just then, Tony swung a giant sword at the centaur captain . “I’m sorry . The buffs were twisted, so I joined a bit late . ”
“It’s okay . It wasn’t that hard . ”
‘I hope it was a mistake or else you will die . It doesn’t matter if it is by the centaur’s hand or mine . ’
Behind the mask, Hyeonu’s eyes narrowed and gave off a sharp light . However, the light was obscured by the mask and couldn’t be seen by the players of Team Shadow .
“I will use magic!”
Starting with Tony, the other members joined the battle against the centaur captain one by one .
“Fire Wall!”
A wall of fire appeared, burning from the hooves of the centaur captain to the tip of his head . The fire barrier had a powerful momentum, but it only destroyed the centaur’s hair . The centaur captain was very annoyed . It was annoying that one human was constantly avoiding his attacks by moving back and forth like a fly while another annoying human managed to burn his hair . Eventually, the centaur captain expressed his feelings . “Kuaaaak!”
It was a boss monster’s representative weapon and also one of the most powerful crowd controls .
[You have heard the centaur captain’s Fear . ]
[The influence of fighting energy allows you to ignore the Fear of the centaur captain . ]
Hyeonu’s fighting energy allowed him to easily ignore the centaur’s Fear . He wasn’t affected, but he didn’t show it . He silently slowed down his movements . It was to give the impression that Alley Leader was also influenced by the centaur captain’s Fear .
[You have heard the centaur captain’s Fear . ]
[Player ‘Tony Loton’ has entered a ‘slowed’ state . ]
[Player ‘Lania’ has entered a ‘slowed’ state . ]
On the other hand, the members of Team Shadow were different . They were truly influenced by Fear . It was just that the priest’s buffs and their own judgment prevented their body from becoming stiff and slowing down due to the Fear . The centaur captain’s eyes watched the battlefield .
A slightly slower human appeared in his sight . There might be some differences, but this wasn’t a normal human . Then the centaur captain’s gaze stopped on one place . It was a magician who couldn’t control his body properly . This was the target . The centaur captain was very clever . He knew who to target . The centaur captain moved like the wind . He moved dozens of meters and arrived behind Team Shadow . Then a blue light emerged from the centaur captain’s sword .
“Ugh!” The magician was frightened by the huge double-edged sword heading toward him . Fortunately, at breathtaking timing, Tony appeared in front of the magician with a shield . Tony’s shield turned silver .
‘Iron Shield . ’
Tony successfully used a skill to resist the centaur captain’s blow .
‘It was a close call . If he was a bit late, then the double-edged sword would’ve met the magician, not the shield . ’ Hyeonu felt regretful .
Seeing this scene, Team Shadow’s swordsman said to Hyeonu, “The magician was almost logged out . ”
He was obviously trying to seek out Hyeonu’s sympathy . Hyeonu was already suspicious of them, but he answered briefly in order to not show it . “Yes . The magician almost died at the start . ”
‘A waste . A waste . ’ Hyeonu swallowed back the words . Then he stated, “Let’s go help Tony . I feel like this raid won’t be easy . ”
‘For you . ’
