??? AM – The Tyrant's Roar
ShadeStalker tensed, its massive form lowering as a deep growl rumbled from within its frame.
The Riftborn Stalkers flickered, their normally fluid movements disrupted.
Even the Abyss Crushers, mindless in death, shifted uneasily.
Then—
The Tyrant Devourer reared back, its six burning eyes narrowing.
And it roared.
🔹 [Boss Skill Activated – Howl of Supremacy.]
A shockwave erupted outward.
The air shook from the sheer force.
The Goblin Marauders were flung backward, crashing against the chamber walls like discarded dolls.
The Riftborn Stalkers collapsed mid-flicker, their forms unraveling before barely managing to stabilize.
Even the Carrion Maulers, nimble and predatory, staggered under the force.
Kyung-min braced himself, but the impact still hit like a hammer.
🔹 [HP: 670 → 540]
His ears rang, his vision wavered, but he forced himself forward.
ShadeStalker recovered first, its eyes locking onto the Tyrant before it vanished, reappearing behind the beast, claws flashing.
The Abyss Crushers charged in tandem, slamming into the creature's flank like siege weapons.
The Carrion Maulers darted under its massive frame, their claws digging deep into its underside.
The Riftborn Stalkers struck low, slicing into tendons.
For a brief second—
It looked like it was working.
Then—
Kyung-min saw it.
??? AM – The Problem
The wounds were closing too fast.
Muscle stitched itself back together before the damage could settle.
Even the deepest gashes ShadeStalker inflicted sealed within seconds.
🔹 [Boss Ability Detected – Devourer's Regeneration.]
Kyung-min's stomach twisted.
This wasn't just rapid healing.
This was undoing damage before it could take effect.
His eyes flickered across the battlefield.
If this continued—
Nothing they did would matter.
His breath slowed.
He had two choices.
Find the source of its regeneration and cut it off.Overwhelm its healing by causing more damage than it could sustain.
Neither would be easy.
??? AM – A New Strategy
Kyung-min exhaled.
"Fine."
🔹 [Dread Manifestation – Activated.]
A pulse of raw killing intent swept across the chamber.
The Tyrant twitched.
Its massive form hesitated—just for a moment.
"Now," Kyung-min commanded.
🔹 [Revenant's Command – Full Assault.]
His undead moved as one.
The Abyss Crushers slammed into the Tyrant's side, pushing it off balance.
The Carrion Maulers tore into its exposed underbelly, their claws carving deep.
The Riftborn Stalkers struck in synchronization, slicing across joints and weak points.
ShadeStalker lunged, its powerful jaw clamping around the Tyrant's throat, aiming to rip something vital apart.
For the first time—
The Tyrant screeched.
For the first time—
It sounded like pain.
Then—
The chamber shook.
??? AM – The Tyrant's Counterattack
The Tyrant's wounds didn't just heal.
Its body hardened.
The freshly torn flesh darkened, becoming thicker, denser—almost as if it had learned from the damage.
Kyung-min's eyes narrowed.
It wasn't just regenerating.
It was adapting.
Then—
It moved.
Faster than before.
The Abyss Crushers barely had time to react before the Tyrant lashed out.
A massive clawed limb slammed into them, sending one of the Crushers flying into a pillar, its body cracking apart on impact.
🔹 [1x Abyss Crusher Destroyed.]
Kyung-min barely had time to register the loss.
The Tyrant whipped its tail around, cleaving through several of the Goblin Marauders, reducing them to shredded corpses.
🔹 [6x Goblin Marauder Destroyed.]
Kyung-min's jaw clenched.
It was learning.
The more damage it took—
The more resistant it became.
If this continued—
It wouldn't just be an unkillable monster.
It would become an unstoppable one.
??? AM – The Moment of Realization
Kyung-min dodged back, avoiding a strike that would have crushed him.
His mind raced.
A monster with infinite healing wasn't unkillable.
But there had to be a limit.
A weakness.
He scanned the Tyrant again, ignoring the chaos of battle.
Something wasn't right.
Then—
He saw it.
??? AM – No Rest for the Dead
Kyung-min gritted his teeth.
The battle wasn't over.
But losing units this early? Unacceptable.
His gaze flickered to the bodies of his shattered undead—one Abyss Crusher reduced to broken limbs, and six Goblin Marauders crushed beyond recognition.
A problem.
But also a resource.
He raised a hand.
🔹 [Revenant's Command – Reanimation.]
A wave of dark energy surged outward, sinking into the broken corpses.
Bones snapped back together.
Flesh stitched itself into place.
Hollow eyes burned anew.
And then—
They stood.
🔹 [1x Abyss Crusher Reanimated.]
🔹 [6x Goblin Marauder Reanimated.]
His army was whole again.
But his MP wasn't.
🔹 [MP: 700 → 500]
Too much.
Kyung-min clicked his tongue.
He was running out of fuel.
??? AM – The Tyrant's Assault
The Tyrant Devourer moved instantly, its six burning eyes locked onto him.
It was learning.
It knew he was the source.
And it wasn't about to let him recover.
The monstrous creature surged forward, its massive tail whipping across the battlefield.
The Abyss Crushers barely blocked the impact, their massive bodies skidding backward.
The Goblin Marauders were sent flying again.
ShadeStalker vanished into the shadows, avoiding the strike entirely.
But Kyung-min?
He didn't dodge.
He stepped forward.
🔹 [Abyss Step – Activated.]
He vanished—then reappeared directly beneath the Tyrant's neck.
His dagger lashed out.
The blade bit deep, carving into the creature's underbelly.
For a brief second, its movement staggered.
And then—
The wound closed instantly.
"Not good enough," Kyung-min muttered.
??? AM – A Battle of Attrition
This wasn't just a tank-and-smash kind of fight.
The Tyrant wasn't just regenerating.
It was adapting.
Every attack made it stronger.
Every injury made it harder to wound again.
His summons attacked relentlessly.
Abyss Crushers slamming their massive bodies into the Tyrant, Carrion Maulers darting underneath, slicing open its legs, Goblin Marauders swarming its lower half, overwhelming its senses, ShadeStalker striking from behind, its massive claws raking across its scales.
Yet none of it was working.
The Tyrant's wounds kept sealing.
This wasn't working.
He needed something else.
Something more.
Then—
His eyes caught it.
A tiny delay.
??? AM – The Weakness Revealed
The Tyrant's wounds were healing instantly.
But one spot…
One small, barely noticeable area on its lower abdomen was healing slower.
A weak point.
"There you are."
Kyung-min smiled.
The Tyrant's six eyes snapped toward him.
It knew.
But knowing wasn't enough.
Kyung-min surged forward.
🔹 [Gravewalker's Frenzy – Activated.]
His body ignited with speed.
ShadeStalker followed his lead, its massive form matching his charge.
Kyung-min darted left—then blinked right.
🔹 [Abyss Step – Activated.]
He reappeared just above the weak point, dagger raised—
And struck.
