"Is this the Boss Room?" Naruto asked, directing the question to no one in particular.
"Yes, that's right. And after we defeat the monster inside, the dungeon and the gate will close down!" Aria replied, standing beside Naruto.
"We'll let the Miners do their job first, before we go into the boss room!" Cha Hae-In announced. It seemed that everyone else already knew this procedure, so she only needed to explain it to Naruto further, which he understood immediately. The reason for this is that once they enter the boss room, the dungeon boss will be awakened, and the Miners won't be able to do their work. Plus, after defeating the dungeon boss, the entire dungeon will start to collapse.
So, they decided to let the Miners complete their task inside the dungeon, while the Hunters waited outside. They had already checked the area and confirmed that there were no other monsters left, except for the final dungeon boss.
Cha Hae-In was amazed by Naruto's power, even though he hadn't done much yet. His magical energy impressed her greatly.
[Some Time Later]
The Miners came out with all the mining materials they had collected, and the Hunters were finally ready to return to the dungeon. To Naruto's surprise, Cha Hae-In herself told him to fight the boss on his own, although the others would be nearby and would only interfere if necessary. The reason for this was to assess Naruto's true power and decide whether he would be a valuable addition to their guild. They wanted to know if he was truly someone special or just another S-Rank Hunter.
Naruto, who had been eager to take on the challenge, immediately accepted the offer without any hesitation.
When they finally reached the room, Naruto entered ahead of everyone. Although this was probably the biggest challenge he had ever faced as a Hunter, he walked inside with confidence, unfazed by the strong magical energy emanating from the room, which he could tell was no easy opponent.
He looked up, as a suddenly a thud sound erupted through the room, as a huge something dropped from above , creating a good amount of shockwave, and magical energy. Naruto stood in front of it, still unfazed, the shockwave went past him without having any Impact on him.
The dust settled , as a huge giant lizard came into vision for everyone. The Giant Lizard was massive, its body covered in thick, armored scales. It had a large, powerful jaw filled with sharp teeth, and its eyes glowed with a primal, predatory intelligence.
"Will he be able to take down it alone !?" A whispery voice asked from the team of hunter watching, to the person next to him.
"Probably. he is S-rank after all!" The person beside replied.
Aria watched with a intense look, she saw just moments ago, what he could do, but , still was excited to see, what he will do this around. Cha Hae-In also watched closely, she needed to monitor everything about Naruto during this fight.
As the massive Scaled Tyrant emerged from the shadows, its towering presence filling the cavernous boss room, Naruto stood unfazed, his eyes locked onto the fearsome creature. The hunters behind him watched with bated breath, eager to see how he would handle this formidable opponent alone.
The Scaled Tyrant let out a deafening roar, its jaws gaping wide as it charged towards Naruto, its thick, armored scales gleaming in the dim light. Naruto remained calm, his body poised and ready. Just as the Tyrant was about to reach him, Naruto disappeared in a blur, reappearing a few steps to the side.
The Tyrant's massive head crashed into the ground where Naruto had been standing, the impact shaking the very foundation of the room. Undeterred, the beast whirled around, its long, spiked tail lashing out in a sweeping attack. Naruto simply stood his ground, and as the tail approached, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier, unable to touch him.
"What !? The attack stopped but ,how !?" Aria thought as she watched from some meters away from the fight. Even Cha Hae-In couldn't control but have a surprised look for a moment, Naruto hadn't mentioned anything on these techniques or defense in his re-evaluation informations, also his speed was nothing that of a mage type hunter should have. She was confused,why Naruto wouldn't tell about these during the re-evaluation, maybe he wanted to hide them ?!
The Tyrant's roar was one of confusion as it tried again, striking with its claws and teeth, but each time Naruto remained unharmed, the attacks simply repelled by an unseen force.
Naruto watched the Tyrant's futile attempts, a small smile playing on his lips. "My turn," he said calmly, raising his hand.
Gathering a swirling mass of energy at his palm, Naruto unleashed a powerful burst of his "Reversal: Red technique" The crimson wave of energy slammed into the Scaled Tyrant, lifting the massive creature off its feet and hurling it against the far wall with tremendous force. The impact shook the room, and the Tyrant let out a pained roar as it struggled to regain its footing.
The hunters watched in awe, their previous doubts about Naruto's abilities quickly dissipating.
Cha Hae-In watched, 'according to how it worked, it's Red , that I read from his re-evaluation information, it's more powerful than I expected ' she thought.
Undeterred, the Scaled Tyrant charged again, its jaws snapping and its tail lashing out in a relentless assault. But Naruto remained calm, his movements fluid as he effortlessly dodged and deflected each attack. The Tyrant's frustration grew, and it began to coordinate its strikes, trying to overwhelm Naruto with a barrage of attacks.
Yet, no matter how the Tyrant tried, its efforts were in vain. Naruto's **Infinity** technique created an impenetrable barrier around him, shielding him from harm. Whenever the Tyrant's attacks drew close, they were slowed down by an unimaginable amount, so it maked a naked eye look at them like it had stopped, while it was just slowed down.
Sensing an opening, Naruto decided to go on the offensive. He disappeared from the Tyrant's sight, reappearing behind the massive creature. With a swift motion, he unleashed another "Reversal: Red" attack, the crimson energy slamming into the Tyrant's flank and sending it careening across the room, The Scaled Tyrant let out a final, agonizing roar as it was lifted into the air, its body twisting and contorting under the immense pressure of Naruto's attacks. With a resounding crash, the Tyrant was slammed against the ground, defeated and unmoving.
Naruto stood tall, his breathing calm and controlled. He turned to face the awestruck hunters, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Job Well Done...!" Naruto said , as he walked towards the entrance of the room, 'And I have already made my decision about guild! Now I know what I will do!' He thought to himself.
