Areum immediately summons and moments later, the dragon that Oliver had previously defeated appeared beside her, complete with his trident.
"Hey Ji Hu! Is there nothing I can do but stand here? Seeing that enemies are also equal to hunter UR?" Seo Yeon put on a pleading face.
"If this plan is in danger of failing, I will give you a place in it"
"Waaa thank you Ji Huuu! I'll buy you your favourite candy later!"
Ji Hu's eyes lit up slightly, "I'm looking forward to it"
Once Areum was ready and Jin Woo who had also played the music, Ji Hu gave an upgrade to the dragon variable called Areum.
"Remember! If the situation is dangerous, retreat immediately! Especially you Jin Woo who is on the front lines!"
Jin Woo nodded, getting ready with the music.
"Alright everyone! It's time to hunt!!"
Even with 50% of its power, the Areum dragon was able to shoot up to the speed of sound. Moving very fast, only aiming for one, the chief leader of the lizardmen.
Swoosh!!
With a speed equivalent to the speed of sound, Areum's dragon trident was simply fended off. No one was aware of the attack. Even the lizardman who hadn't blinked yet, bounced due to the strong thrust force. They didn't know what was really going on until they looked at their leader who was fending off a trident.
Expressions of surprise also appeared where Oliver and the others stood.
However, Ji Hu said that it was not the speed of the lizardman leader, but rather the reflex of the lizard race that was very fast.
Knowing the Areum dragon's impromptu attack failed and before the other lizardmen began to regain consciousness, Jin Woo quickly broke the lizardmen's attention and made room for the Areum dragon to fight one-on-one with its leader.
Trang! Tangg!
The abstract dragon continued to perform slashes and stabs and the lizardman leader with his spear, fending off everything.
As Ji Hu said, the lizard's reaction was indeed very impressive. Any attack of the Abstract dragon that was at the speed of a sound, was fended off very easily.
As a result of the fight, the surrounding buildings were destroyed due to the shock wave between the two. The lizardmen who were nearby also flew in, allowing the fight that they could only watch without interfering.
Thanks to that, Jin Woo's fight was quickly over. Most of the lizardmen chose to remain silent and some of those who resisted, were killed,
Jin Woo, who was also watching it, could only be silent, his eyes unable to follow the movements of the two.
Only Oliver, Seo Yeon and Ji Hu could see them fighting.
"Jin Woo..."
"Jin Woo!"
"JIN WOO!!"
A small robot beetle perches on Jin Woo's shoulder.
"Ah...I'm sorry, Ji Hu. What's wrong?"
…..
"Can you change the lizardman leader's fight area to cold, about 5 degrees?"
Because lizards are cold-blooded creatures whose bodies will adjust to the ambient temperature, making them cold will reduce the lizard's reflexes.
Jin Woo began to tune his music which contained something cold and gripping. With his skill that can project what is in his mind, he makes the temperature around the two battle areas at 5 degrees Celsius.
Due to the sudden change in temperature, the Abstract dragon's attack that was previously able to be fended off very easily, now its reflexes are slowly decreasing. Some attacks can still be fended off, but some others manage to injure him.
Zrashhh!
A precise slash hit the right hand of the lizardman leader who was holding the spear.
Not wanting to waste the opportunity, a trident slash led to the lizardman's leader's neck.
Trangg!
Before the trident slashed his neck, his right arm, which had previously been severed, had now connected and fended off the attack.
While everyone was still shocked to see it, Ji Hu shouted telling Jin Woo to immediately aim at the lizardman's head while he was still fending off the Abstract dragon's attack.
Jin Woo immediately regained his composure and aimed an arrow right at the lizardman's leader's head. The arrow shot very quickly, past the abstract dragon and ended up hitting the target, leaving the head and body of the lizardman leader separate.
The incident felt silent for a few seconds before another Ji Hu shout told Jin Woo to retreat and told Areum to immediately slash as much of the lizardman's body as possible.
"JIN WOO BACKS DOWN!!"
"AREUM!! Throw your spear right at his head!! That lizardman isn't dead yet!!"
Quickly the abstract dragon slashed with a blind pig, causing the lizardman leader's body to shatter into pieces.
On the other hand, Areum with her spear, prepared to throw it right at the leader's head.
The Areum spear is a soul-level weapon, where it has its own will. The weight of Areum's spear was very heavy and only he and Oliver, as her master, could lift it and use it.
The spear seemed to roar when thrown.
With its heavy weight and momentum, the moment its spear hit the head of the lizardman leader who had previously separated from his body, causing the head to melt away.
Silence ensued again and Jin Woo who had gone back, didn't know what Ji Hu had said about his surviving leader when the leader's head had been severed from his body.
"Ji Hu, what do you mean if the leader is still alive? Isn't it obvious that his head is coming off?"
....
"You're right. If a boss is killed before entering phase two, then it will be finished. And I, who can see through the vision of a quantum computer, will see it as lost data."
"But, when the head was cut off, the data I saw was still there and didn't disappear"
"Has the data now been lost? Even his body has been destroyed," Areum asked.
Ji Hu looked at the leader's former body again.
"It seems like it's-"
Before Ji Hu's words had finished, a fog appeared around his boss.
"No way!!"
Everyone there understood what Ji Hu was shocked by.
Technically, if the boss dies before being in phase 2, it will be counted complete and there will be no boss who suddenly awakens phase 2. However, the green smoke emanating from the lizardman's former leader body was a sign that phase 2 had begun and this was something impossible.
The smoke is a poison that makes the status and skills of the lizardmen increase significantly. If calculated based on the rank of his boss who is currently at the level of UR hunter, the probability of defeating him with just the three of them would be 0.
The poisonous smoke slowly began to fill the battle area and seemed to solidify. Nothing happened in that time span. Only silence before the sound of a clash of weapon occurred.The clinking sound continued a few minutes later. As a result of the attack, the poison smoke that had previously filled the battle area slowly faded.
Once it started to fade, what happened in front of it was something impossible to happen.
The lizardman leader's formless body was now standing there carrying the head of the abstract dragon. Even with the abstract dragon having 50% of its primordial strength, it couldn't match the stage 2 lizardman leader.
Feeling himself invincible, the lizardman leader threw the head of the Areum dragon right in front of Jeong Areum. As if waiting for what his opponent could do, the lizardman leader sat back and waited on top of Areum's dragon body.
Ji Hu immediately saw the leader's level and status. The thing that made Ji Hu feel like he couldn't do anything else to deal with it.
"After rising from the dead, now his level has even reached 300..."
Ji Hu sat up in disbelief at the events before his eyes. His expression seemed to say that there was no other way but Oliver himself to intervene, the only last way.
Areum walked towards Oliver, kneeling.
"Milord! Please let me use that skill!" like a knight who respects her master.
"Use it! Because after all, it's your skill."
Areum nodded, walked forward, turned her back to Ji Hu.
"Ji Hu, I'll use that skill. You can include it as a winning variable, right?"
Ji Hu looked at Areum who had believed in him. Starting to stand up from the downturn.
"Hahaha of course! Who do you think I am?!"
Areum smiled and began to make a summons.
