The current situation was so bad, some of their guild members fainted. Some people are scared and can't move. And now the only ones left to fight are Pyon Hee-Ra and Henry. Besides that the defenders were a tank and a priest.
"Ji-Hae help them for now and try to prepare a trap to defend. I will fight him."
"Okay hyungnim!"
Since the current situation was already very bad I tried to take command in this raid.
"Pyon Hee-Ra let me take over."
"O-okay then"
Even though Pyon Hee-Ra is an S-Rank hunter but I think she still lacks experience fighting strong monsters like Haize, besides that she has to pay attention to the safety of her guild members as well. Korea has also never faced an S-Rank portal other than the incident in 2017. I think fighting Haize in this situation will make it difficult for her.
"Try to protect the injured people, I'll attract that Haize's attention!" I conveyed this to Pyon Hee-Ra.
I'm not sure if I can fight it or not, but I have to try.
"Come out my skeleton army!" Although not very strong, but I think they can help me.
"Luck, Diar, Minos help me attack the monster!" Then I moved to lead the attack. I activated black aura to amplify all my stats. The haize looked like he wanted to spit fire again.
"Pyon Hee-Ra try to disrupt that Haize attack!" Upon hearing that Pyon Hee-Ra fired a Death Beam at that Haize. And the attack managed to disrupt Haize's attack.
Now is the time for me to attack. I pulled out my two swords, and I used all my strength to jump at Haize's head. I used my ability Slash. I slashed it many times but I didn't manage to do any fatal damage.
The haize tried to get me off his head, he tried to attack me with his hands. I noticed that and immediately dodged using Shadow Step.
"Luck, Diar, Minos attack him right now!" My skeleton attacked the Haize just as the Haize was trying to release me. He couldn't protect his body and my skeleton managed to deal several hits.
"Arghhhhhhhhhhh" The Haize screamed very loudly. He seemed to be so angry, he tried to spit fire from all over his body.
"Retreat my skeleton army!" I ordered all my skeletons to retreat in order to avoid the flames escaping from Haize's body.
I have no idea to defeat this monster, he is too strong. Is there any other way to defeat a monster this strong? For now I'll try to hold it in while dealing damage.
Looks like the Blood Moon guild members can't fight anymore, this place is getting hotter and some of them don't have heat resistant capsules anymore. At least Pyon Hee-Ra can still fight.
"Pyon Hee-Ra help me in my next attack!"
Then I tried to launch another attack, the Haize seems to be moving more carefully now. He uses his fire wings to protect the right and left sides of his body, I can only try to attack his head again.
Then Pyon Hee-Ra started casting her Death Shower spell, and I started running towards that Haize. However that Haize tried to attack me, he used his hand and hit at me. His hand let out fire and it almost hit me, I managed to dodge his attack.
"Fire your spell now!" I gave a sign to Pyon Hee-Ra.
Then Pyon Hee-Ra fired that Death Shower spell, and it hit the Haize. Now that Haize couldn't move fast because he was trying to protect himself. I took advantage of the situation to launch another attack with my skeletons.
"All of you try to attack the body! I will attack the head!" I command all of my skeleton troops.
Then I tried to find an opening to attack the head, right after the Death Shower skill ran out, the Haize tried to change its position. And that's when his defenses opened.
I quickly used all my strength and stabbed his head with my sword. All of my skeletons also attacked Haize's body many times. I managed to stab my two swords into this monster's head, but its body gave off an intense heat. I can't hold out any longer even with the help of the black aura.
I drew my sword and stabbed one of his eyes.
"Roaaaaaaaaaaaar!" The haize screamed in pain as I stabbed him in the eye. After piercing his eyes I ordered all my skeletons to keep their distance again. I also returned to my previous position to avoid the heat from Haize's body.

Damn, at this rate I won't be able to last much longer. The mana consumption for the black aura skill is too much, I don't know how much longer it can last. But that Haize looks still going strong, I don't know how much longer the monster can last.
At least now that one of his eyes is injured, I think the chances of winning will be better now.
"Hyungnim I think the monster's weakness is in the neck!" Ji-Hae said.
"How did you know that?" I'm asking because I'm a little unsure.
"It has a mana crystal on its neck, and that should be the source of its power! I've been noticing that it keeps glowing every time it shoots fire!"
"Alright then I'll end it!"
I tried to attack that Haize again, but now he is in defensive mode. He let out hot flames around his body and my skeleton couldn't get any closer.
Then the Haize shot a torrent of flames towards us. I quickly took out my sword and dispelled the flames with a slash of my sword. I managed to hold it in, but the fire hurt both my hands.
"Pyon Hee-Ra! That monster's weakness is in its neck! Fire your spell at its neck!"
Upon hearing that, Pyon Hee-Ra instantly fired a Death Beam at Haize's neck. But the Haize was aware of the attack and he spread his wings, and the wings managed to block Pyon Hee-Ra's attack.
But that's enough, I managed to move quickly towards Haize's body. And I jumped towards that Haize's neck, that Haize noticed it but it was too late. I drew my two swords, and I plunged my two swords into the mana crystal. Then the mana crystal broke.
After the mana crystal shattered, the Haize looked in a lot of pain. His body slowly lost the flames, and he fell to the ground. And after a few seconds, the Haize died because the mana crystal was destroyed. After that, a black orb appeared from Haize's body.
I took the orb and put it away, the mana emitted from the orb was the same as the black stone I found that time. I think this is one of the shards that the king of darkness said, I'll take a look at it later.
"You did it hyungnim!" Ji-Hae runs to me happily.
And in the distance I can see Pyon Hee-Ra just smiling at me.
After the boss monster dies, the objective of this portal is complete. Then the portal opened and reinforcements from Blood Moon came to save the dying members.
We all managed to get out of the portal without anyone dying, even though most of the people were injured but we still managed to clear this portal raid.
Pyon Hee-Ra walked up to me with her member Henry.
"Thanks for your help earlier." Pyon Hee-Ra bowed in gratitude to me, as did Henry.
"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that everyone is safe."
"I'm sorry, if it weren't for my decision we wouldn't have gone through all this." Pyon Hee-Ra looks very sorry for her decision earlier.
"Like I said I'm fine-"
"I'm also sorry hunter Lee Won Myung! I'm sorry for my attitude towards you, we would have died if you weren't there." Henry cut me off.
"What do you mean? We're all safe because everyone did well." I just smiled at the two of them, although I was a little annoyed at first but I think now everything is fine.
"Here's the money for today's portal raid" Pyon Hee-Ra sent me some money from this portal raid. I was very surprised at the numbers.
"Are you sure this is the right amount of money?!" I asked in surprise at the numbers.
"Yeah, and also I think you deserve that much for saving us! Besides that you can also take materials from that body of Haize!" said Pyon Hee-Ra.
I earned 300 million won just from this portal raid, and also I got materials from that body of Haize. It's too great, I'm very happy but for now I have to stay calm.
"Thank you for giving me all of this, I'd be very happy if we could raid together again! Then see you later!" Then I went home with Ji-Hae.
Today was quite tiring, and I almost died earlier too. However it was a great experience, Haize's appearance was very unexpected, but I got this black orb so I guess I'm quite lucky.
