Chapter 83: 83
As Hyeonu’s group entered through the door, a massive space greeted them . In the center of the huge space, there was a large coffin .

“I think that Roton is inside there . ”
“Probably . That’s how the previous household members came out . ”
Kim Seokjung moved as Hyeonu and Gang Junggu were exchanging opinions with bright expressions . They were thinking that if they caught the boss, they would be able to get out of the dungeon . Kim Seokjung stepped toward the coffin and was able to arrive near it .
Then he stretched out his fists . The fists filled with divine power collided with the giant coffin, but the coffin did not break or crack at all . It had tremendously high durability . Suddenly, the space started trembling . To be precise, the coffin was vibrating .
“Brother, did you touch the wrong place?”
“How old are you that you haven’t broken that habit? It is your habit to hit anything when you’re frustrated . ”
Hyeonu and Gang Junggu felt something strange and threw scolding words toward Kim Seokjung . In particular, Gang Junggu uttered words that were close to condemnation . It was because he had memories of the damage caused by Kim Seokjung’s previous actions .
“Ah, I just tried it . A rodent or a dog will come out . ” Kim Seokjung’s words weren’t wrong .
A giant bat popped out of the open coffin and soon transformed into a man . “Who is interrupting my rest?”
This was the appearance of a handsome young man, Roton Seynod .
“I came to give you eternal rest . ” Hyeonu saw Roton Seynod and cheered up . The end of this tireless hunt made Hyeonu feel better .
‘I didn’t know the second floor would be this long . ’
The second floor where they hunted the troll slaves had seemed endless . It had taken almost eight hours for them to find the keeper of the second floor .
“Brother, it’s time to end this tiring hunt . ”
“Then let’s fight quickly . ” Gang Junggu finished speaking and charged forward . He wanted to quickly kill the vampire named ‘Roton’, gain the rewards, and rest .
“Tang-E, give the buffs . Don’t spare your magic power and pour out all your skills . Got it?”
“Master dude, don’t worry . Believe in me . ” Tang-E struck his chest . From Hyeonu’s view, Tang-E looked very good .
“Yes, I will trust you . ” Hyeonu stroked Tang-E’s head once before heading toward Roton .

Roton wasn’t angry at the humans who interrupted his rest . He was just annoyed . Kim Seokjung, Hyeonu, and Gang Junggu were like flies to Roton . He could kill them just by waving his hand . Then there would be no more people disturbing his rest . However, it didn’t take long for Roton’s perception to change . A white light stretched out from Kim Seokjung’s fist and shot toward Roton .
‘Divine power!!’ Roton was stunned to see Kim Seokjung’s divine power and quickly used magic . “Blood Shield . ”
Roton sighed with relief as he created a red veil that stopped Kim Seokjung’s attack . He had almost taken a blow of divine power in his defenseless state .
“Damn, it is a Liru follower . ”
This wasn’t a fly but a poisonous wasp . Roton quickly realized he had to deal with them properly . He had to admit that they weren’t people who could be ignored .
“It is going to be different now . ”
Shortly after Roton’s words, the space started to turn red . This was one of Roton’s most famous skills, Blood Field .
[You are under the influence of Roton’s Blood Field . ]
[All stats are reduced . ]
[The magic power required to use a skill will increase . ]
Hyeonu wondered, “What is this? Brother, do monks have a skill to nullify this?”
“Priests who have completed their second class advancement will have this skill . However, my brother and I are monks . We don’t have any skill for this . ”
“This . . . ” Hyeonu frowned . It was frustrating with a close call right from the start . There seemed to be a 10–20% drop in stats .
“Brother, there seems to be a 10–20% reduction in stats . Meanwhile, his stats have risen by that much . But we still have Tang-E’s buffs, so it should be fine . ”
In some ways, Blood Field had a similar effect to Fear . It debuffed the opponent while buffing himself . The only difference was that Fear had a short duration no matter how much magic power was consumed while field skills could last indefinitely as long as magic power was supplied .
‘Tang-E also has Fear . ’
Hyeonu never thought that it would be impossible to kill Roton . He just felt that the process was a problem .
“Brother, shall we aim for a short-term battle? Or do you want a long-term battle?”
Gang Junggu seemed to struggle for a moment before speaking quickly, “I’d rather make it short if possible . We don’t have any information about Roton . ”

Gang Junggu’s answer was extremely political . They only had two pieces of information on Roton: Blood Field and Blood Shield . However, there weren’t exact figures or guesses .
“Then let’s go all-in . Brother Seokjung will say the same thing . ”
After saying these words, Hyeonu turned to Tang-E .
“Tang-E, things have changed . Once I run to him, use Giant Transformation and roar whenever possible . Rush in if you get the chance . Additionally, use magic . Got it?”
“Understood, Master dude . ”
Tang-E had his own thoughts on the situation . ‘If I gain a bit more strength . . . I can push that type of guy down with one foot . ’
“However, it is thanks to Master dude that I can unexpectedly deal with fire and ice . . . ”
Tang-E made a sneaky smile . It was a look that suggested he was going to create a big accident .
Kim Seokjung followed the maneuver Gang Junggu mentioned and used all his skills, ranging from those he had built up to the ones attached to his items . At level 197, the items Kim Seokjung wore were considered the best among players . It meant that Kim Seokjung’s current state was the best shape that a Liru Monk could be in at the current time .
‘Sun’s Protection, Descent of the Two Kings . ’
Sun’s Protection—this was the skill of the Liru Monk that consumed 30% of his current divine power to amplify all stats by 30% over a period of time . Meanwhile, Descent of the Two Kings had the effect of increasing the strength stat by 50% for 10 minutes . It was a skill attached to the bracelet worn by Kim Seokjung . This way, Kim Seokjung would be close to invincible for 10 minutes . As proof, Kim Seokjung smashed through the previously unbreakable Blood Shield .
‘What is this?’ Roton panicked .
He had clearly deployed Blood Field, taking the power of the humans and using it as his own . The evidence was the mighty black magic flowing through his body . More than half of his usual black magic power flowed through his body . Nevertheless, the situation was going against him .
“Eek!” An angry Roton raised his magic power even further . Roton’s mighty black magic gave him a variety of spells . Clouds rose in the enclosed space, and red rain fell from the clouds . That wasn’t all . Bloody spears filled the void .

Blood Rain . . .
The rain of blood slowed down Gang Junggu, Kim Seokjung, and Gang Hyeonu . Then a bloody spear quickly flew toward the slowed Kim Seokjung . Kim Seokjung would soon get skewered if the bloody spear continued flying . Just then, Hyeonu’s sword energy flew toward the bloody spear, striking it . Simultaneously, the bloody spear burst . Not only did this spear explode, but all the surrounding spears burst as well . It was the effect of Magic Power Explosion .
“Thank you, little brother,” Kim Seokjung thanked Hyeonu . If it wasn’t for Hyeonu, Kim Seokjung would’ve been logged out in one blow . The magic power in the spear seemed unusual .
“Brother, I’m going to buy some time . Please prepare a large blow along with Brother Junggu . Tang-E will use Fear twice every five minutes . The effect lasts three minutes, so aim for that . ” Hyeonu gave orders to Kim Seokjung and then rushed toward Roton .
Hyeonu’s movements were unbelievably fast even in a slowed state . He swung his half-sword . Roton saw it and laughed . ‘He is fast, but what is the point of trying to break through Blood Field with a broken sword?’
Yet the moment Hyeonu’s sword pointed at Roton, the length increased . This was the use of sword energy that was unique to Hyeonu . Roton was shocked when he saw the sword energy grow and used Blood Shield . Blood Shield was cut apart, and there was a line of blood on Roton’s chest .
“Kuock!”
The wound soon disappeared, but the shock didn’t go away .
‘How did he get through Blood Shield . . . ?’ Roton was astonished .
The Blood Shield created by using a lot of magic power had the durability to deflect the attack of a viscount-class vampire . It wasn’t a defense that would break apart under the light attack of a human .
‘Bah, a humanoid boss monster is just like food to me . ’
Hyeonu didn’t care about the shield from the beginning . He didn’t care about Blood Field either . His opponent was not just a boss monster but a humanoid one . This meant that most of his titles and skills were effective .
[Achieved 100 Consecutive Wins]
[Title given to the first player to achieve 100 consecutive victories in the arena .
Effect: There is a 20% increase in damage against humanoid monsters (including PvP) during combat . ]
[Solo Raider]
[The title given to a player who has killed a boss monster who is higher than them by at least 5 times .
Effect: There is a 10% increase in stats when dealing with boss monsters . ]
Unlike the titles that were normally applied, it was extremely rare for these two effects to be applied . Yet the moment it was applied, Hyeonu had the most devastating attack power .
“Take this as well!”
Hyeonu used Crescent Moon Cut the instant the cooldown was over . Magic Power Explosion was a bonus . The wind-filled sword energy once again ripped through Roton’s Blood Shield like it was paper . This time, it wasn’t only a light scratch that was left . Roton’s left arm was cut .
“Kuack!” A scream emerged from Roton’s mouth . Roton struggled due to the pain . When had a noble of the night suffered like this? However, Roton was indeed a noble of the night and quickly regained his mind .
He vented his anger, “Low-class humans!”
The power of black magic changed depending on emotions . Anger was one of the emotions that amplified the power of black magic . Roton once again raised his black magic to cast a spell . At this moment, the cry of a beast filled the space . It was Tang-E, who used Giant Transformation and then Roar .
“Cough!!” Roton’s magic casting was forcibly interrupted and he vomited blood . The backlash was high . Magic was typically high-risk with high returns, and the side effects were extremely powerful . Roton felt the black magic twisting in his body .
Lightning struck Roton . It was Tang-E’s Lightning skill that had reached the B rank .
[Roton Seynod has been inflicted with the ‘electric shock’ abnormal state . ]
Roton was unable to move due to the electrocution, and Kim Seokjung’s and Gang Junggu’s skills flew toward him . It wasn’t possible for the best rankers, Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu, to fail to hit an opponent that wasn’t moving . The huge fists filled with divine power struck Roto’s abdomen and chest .
It was Meteor, the best skill of the Liru Monk . Roton’s entire body started to burn . After a while, Roton disappeared and only ashes were left .
