"Should we fight the boss?" Imchul asked, he was quite excited.
Three days had passed. They stayed in the dungeon for three days. When Kim Yo-han proposed to them, they did their best. No one has ever put more effort than them.
All of them became B-rank.
Yes, all of them.
Kim Yo-han did not lie to them. He was telling the truth. They gave him hope, and Yoon Yuna and Hwang Myeong-suk decided to join his Guild without hesitation.
Imchul has never eaten until full. His boss is so amazing he did not know where he got those foods.
In Lucas's memories, Kim Yo-han found out that when Giant eat mana-filled meat, their hunger will be fulfilled. What he did, he poured his magic onto the meat, especially for Imchul. Of course, if someone imitates what he did, is bound to fail.
Infusing mana onto things is not something anyone could do. It takes years of experience.
You might ask, how could that possibly be that hard?
It is hard. It's like creating a masterpiece that has no flaws. One flaw, it would not be called a masterpiece.
It is the same for the meat, that Kim Yo-han beats...
Ahem, never mind that.
Imchul is full, that's all it matters. He does not need to eat hundreds of plates per meal.
Kim Yo-han was very happy with their progress. He had never been so proud before. This new goal of his is not bad. In the future, he would like to see people smile when their efforts are paid.
Defeating monsters gives you what we call the essence of life. It is something that will help an awakened upgrade their rank. But if you reach your limit, the essence of life will be wasted.
Kim Yo-han did not unlock all of their potential just yet. He slowly lets them see that their hard work is paying off. He doesn't want them to get ahead of themselves, because their ranks upgraded to the optimal level.
Because he is not ignorant of the human mind. He knows how to control, as a leader, it's a must. Cuz he doesn't know where the e will take them. In other words, he is preventing betrayals again. Maybe it's a little bit too cautious on his side.
Kim Yo-han will not let anyone betray him again.
"Great, We should clear this dungeon."
Hwang Myeon-suk agreed excitedly. Her blood rushing in her veins. She was feeling pumped up.
"I-Is it okay though?" Yoon Yuna asked nervously. Her face turned slightly pale.
"What is this~ is Yuna scared." Hwang Myeong-suk's face moves closer to Yoon Yuna with a smirk. Teasing the timid girl.
"B-B-But you know It's a B-Boss. Even if we reached B-rank. T-That is still a Boss monster." Yoon Yuna bobs her head up and down. She didn't know Hwang Myeong-suk was teasing her.
"Yuna-ssi is right. Ghoul lord is not something we can defeat." Imchul stroked his chin. He finds Yoon Yuna's words reasonable. He continued. "If I remember correctly, Ghoul Lord is not affected by Physical and Magic attacks."
In the past, Imchul also fought with the Ghoul lord. They have plenty of B-rankers but they still find it problematic at that time.
Imchul is not wrong but it's far from that.
"You are not wrong Imchul but, you are missing something. Could Lord is not immune to those attacks? It has an incredible physical defense and Magic defense. If we are to rank it, it's closer to A-rank. However, because it has high defense it loses out on its attack capability."
Kim Yo-han corrected Imchul. He explained to them.
"Oh, No wonder we have few casualties." Imchul nodded in understanding. "Boss is quite knowledgeable. I admire you hahaha."
"You're exaggerating." Kim Yo-han scratched his face.
"Yo-han has worked so hard. I saw him studying late at night. Yo-han, you should accept the compliments. You worked harder than anyone." Kim Hayan interrupted. When she thought about the time when her little brother spent the rest of his days researching the dungeon and how to prevent casualties. She became emotional.
"Ahem, You're embarrassing me, Sis." Kim Yo-han's face turns red.
"Y-Yo-han is blushing. How cute" Yoon Yuna also blushed to see him flustered.
These past few days. Yoon Yuna and Hwang Myeong-suk have been giving Kim Yo-han an ambiguous look. If not for Kim Hayan, they would fawn over him.
On the first, day, Kim Yo-han did not remove his hood but when it was time for dinner. They saw his face. At that time, Yoon Yuna's bowl of soup fell to the ground.
As for Kim Hayan, she is his sister. She saw the expression of the girls, there was a weird smile on her face.
"Don't lose hope though, this past few days. Your abilities have exceeded my expectations. I'm not training you these few days for nothing, you should be able to defeat the boss, right?"
"E-Eh B-But-" Yoon Yuna protested.
"Right?" Kim Yo-han repeated as his face looked scary.
"U-Un." Yoon Yuna stiffened as she nodded reluctantly. She turns her head to her teammates.
Imchul looked away as he whistled. Hwang Myeong-suk looked ready to go. Yoon Yuna did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Imchul wanted to help her but, Kim Yo-han taught him a lesson... I mean, Kim Yo-han trained him hard... Very hard. Imchul does not want to oppose Kim Yo-han, not that he would do so in the first place.
Kim Hayan was silent, with the usual gentle smile on her face.
"Yuna, don't worry too much. If it's hard, Hayan Sis can take the boss down with her Holy Spells. Ghoul Lord's weakness is Holy attributes, it's easy for her to defeat it... Not that you all would lose in the first place. Also, if you follow my instructions you can defeat the ghoul lord without using Hayan Sis's holy spells."
Kim Yo-han patted Yoon Yuna's shoulder as the party moved toward where the boss resided.
A large dilapidated temple.
...
"Ugh, the foul stinking Ghould Lord." Hwang Myeong-suk pinched her nose, grumbling from the stench that the Ghould Lord was exuding.
"I don't like the smell too." Kim Hayan agreed with her.
Those awakeners related to holy attributes are more repulsed by dark attributes like the Ghoul Lord.
The Ghoul Lord, it's a just massive zombie like a pile of meat paste. It looks hideous and sickening to the eyes. It's an unmoving type of boss. But these types of bosses usually spawn minions.
As Kim Yo-han's party entered the Boss's room. The Ghoul Lord shoots out a flesh golem.
"Remember what I told you earlier." Kim Yo-han said.
"Roger boss!" Imchul sprinted toward the flesh golems. "Kill the minions first!"
Hwang Myeon-suk defended against the flesh golems that slithered their way to Yoon Yuna and Kim Hayan. Thanks to Imchul luring most of the flesh Golems, only a few came to their side.
As for the Ghoul Lord, it's immobile and can only spawn flesh golems. It doesn't attack itself, it relies on its subordinates.
Yoon Yuna is preparing a large fire spell. A big magic circle rotating before her. She was closing her eyes for concentration. The spell she is chanting is a Fire Element, Explosion spell. It takes a little longer to finish the chant.
"Oh the Fire of heaven's wrath, I plead you for your fiery blessing~..."
"Light speed." Kim Hayan granted Imchul a buff. Like its name, it gives the buffed with a speed.
A defender like Imchul is slow. However, with a buffs. Those flaws, would not matter.
"Oh, Here are they!" Imchul kited the flesh golems.
"Explosion!" Yoon Yuna targeted the pile of Flesh Golems that Imchul lured.
*Boom*
"Myeong-suk, here it is. Go!" Kim Yo-han called out the golden-armored, Hwang Myeon-suk.
"On my way! Holy step!" Covered in a golden light. Myeong-suk accelerated fast toward the big pile of flesh, known as the Ghoul Lord.
Hwang Myeong-suk's main skill is called Light swordsmanship, it was C-rank before but now it's upgraded to B-rank, plus she learned a new skill, A C-rank Holy step, and a C-rank Holy slash.
The reason why she is running towards the Ghoul Lord. It's because the way to win is to attack the weakness that will appear after dealing with the first round of flesh golems.
A purple blob that was beating like crazy revealed itself on the Ghoul Lord. Myeong-suk leaps toward it as she swings her sword.
The purple blob cannot be seen easily as it is the size of a fist. Also, such information is highly classified. No one would have thought that it was a weakness.
"Hah!"
"Groan!!!!" The Ghoul Lord let out a painful scream. Unfortunately, it cannot move. But, it's flesh bubbles.
"Myeong-suk, get back. The next round will be intensified." Kim Yo-han ordered. "Everyone, just repeat the process."
"Yes!"
Myeong-suk did not wait as she went back to the formation. Another batch of flesh golems spawned on the flesh bubbles on the Ghoul Lord's body.
'Hmm, a rat.' Kim Yo-han frowned. 'Tsk, bastards are relentless.'
