‘Damn, I don’t have enough time to complete the order!’

Dojin cursed inwardly at the attack pattern that was more intense than he had expected.

But there was no time to grumble at length.

Because before I knew it, the bastard was turning again and preparing to attack.

“Okay, let’s see who dies first.”

《Electric Shock》

Dismissal.

Even before the fish jumped out of the water, sparks flew from Dojin’s hand.

Shoot first.

pop-

The guy pops out.

-Kiuuuuu.

The design is so clean that when viewed from the side, it looks as if Zrark has jumped towards the magic and taken it by surprise.

‘No matter how fast it is, once it jumps out of the water its trajectory becomes fixed in a straight line.’

If you just keep this in mind, you can easily catch fish.

After going through one charge and adapting to Zrark’s increased speed, Dojin devoured the creature with ghostly attacks and evasions.

Zrark also tried to kill Dojin by using all of his abilities. He fired a water cannon and even fired several projectiles compressed into spheres.

But they all failed. Dojin used the most effective method to neutralize all of Zrark’s attack methods.

A few minutes passed like that.

‘It’s almost the end now.’

The light of Zrark faded.

As his life and mana were being robbed by the wedge of exploitation, he was forced to make violent movements repeatedly, and was hit by electric magic, which was a weak attribute, every time he jumped, so it became difficult for him to maintain his body.

“As expected. I knew it would turn out like that. You don’t plan on just dying gracefully, do you?”

Zrark stopped underwater.

The will to attempt a final, life-threatening attack.

Dojin also felt it and prepared.

The water is agitated.

What Zrark created by mobilizing all of his spiritual powers was a wave so wide that it covered the entire small island where Dojin was standing.

There was no place to avoid it. However, it was not as powerful as it had been in terms of range.

A slow and weak attack that can create any amount of living space by just using the “Rock Shield”.

But Dojin didn’t cast the rock shield.

‘He knows best that I can’t be helped by such slow attacks.’

And yet, the attack is so blatantly slow and spread out.

‘I want to create a gap.’

Then I have to show you. What a gap it is.

Dojin’s magic circuit emitted light.

A spell that consumes relatively more mana and time than “Electric Shock”.

This was a difference so great that even Zrark knew about it.

Zrark moved explosively.

It is likely that he will attempt a decisive blow, believing that he has prepared magic to defend against the waves.

Dojin muttered as he watched Zrark launch his body with tremendous acceleration behind the waves.

“I know you’ve been thinking hard, but seeing as how you gave the wizard plenty of time, I guess a fish is a fish.”

《Flashlight》

The 4-star light attribute attack magic, which was not hastily activated but had its power raised by sufficiently pouring in time and mana, escaped Dojin’s hands.

At the same time, Zrark burst out, cutting through the waves. Dojin didn’t move to avoid it. It was a speed that would have made it inevitable for him to be swept away even if he had moved anyway.

But I wasn’t even afraid.

Paaaaang-

Because he knew that the spear he had sharpened with the light he had shot would encounter the bastard first.

Zrark, who was already on the verge of death, collided with the spear in midair, and with a “pashing” sound, Zrark’s translucent body was shattered into pieces.

A blue halo like shards of glass scatters.

However, the bones of the ancient fish remained intact, and the remaining kinetic energy could not be used to reach where Dojin was standing.

Kwajijijik.

But fortunately, at the moment of death, Zrark wiggled, and his bones passed right next to Dojin.

‘… I almost lost, didn’t I?’

Dojin, who hadn’t even considered the fact that there were bones left, felt his heart sink inside, but he didn’t show it on the outside.

‘You can’t make a fuss about something after it’s been neatly organized.’

Even if I was alone, I wouldn’t know, but with the onlookers stamping their feet from afar, the ending had to be certain.

Dojin looked at the bones of Zrark that had passed by him with calm eyes.

Almost simultaneously, as Zrark died, the wave, which had lost its strength and speed, swept past Dojin’s feet.

Dojin thought, This video is going to be awesome.

“… What happened? Why are you so wet?”

Dojin asked after seeing Teresa completely soaking wet.

“Why? He jumped into the water without warning because it looked dangerous, and then realized too late that he couldn’t swim, so he struggled to get back up and ended up like that.”

Soso answered from the side as if she found it pitiful.

Teresa glared at Soso with an angry face.

“No! Warriors can’t swim! Try putting on your armor and going into the water! I told you you’d sink!”

The moment Teresa jumped into the water was when Zrark was charging Dojin and Dojin was jumping to the side.

It was a decision made in the moment when Dojin was judged to be in danger. However, since she had no skills or characteristics related to swimming, she sank immediately.

It was fortunate that Soso was able to grab the outstretched cane, but if he had been just a little bit later or jumped farther, he would have drowned.

“Why am I wearing armor and going into the water? I’m not retarded.”

Soso’s sharp remark flew in. But the opponent was Teresa. The discouragement was short-lived.

Teresa, who had been listening to her friend’s factual violence with one ear and letting it go out the other, started to get into a full-blown rage.

“Anyway! It was really cool. No, it was crazy! I’m telling you, this is the first time I’ve ever seen something like this in real life? It was flying at me like an arrow, and I dodged it. No, I didn’t just dodge it. I even caught that moment and magically shot it down.”

Teresa, who put in a sound effect with her mouth, said, “Kyaaaa,” and tapped Soso with an expression that said, “That’s right, that’s right.”

Ask for consent from friends who watched it together.

Soso glared at Teresa with an uneasy expression, then looked at Dojin again and answered as if she had no choice.

“Well… it wasn’t bad. Certainly.”

“Ugh~!”

At this Teresa put on an old manly air.

“You may not know this, but Soso is really stingy with praise. If you add ‘definitely’ to ‘not bad,’ it’s the best compliment I’ve heard from her in the past five years. Good, good.”

A phrase said with a nod.

Dojin, who was a little embarrassed by the endless stream of compliments from the beginning to the end, chose the safest thing to say after trying to choose what to say.

“Uh… thank you.”

When it comes to compliments, the best thing to say is “thank you.”

* * *

Another ten days had passed since Zrark’s death.

For ten days, Dojin diligently slaughtered the monsters in the .

Meanwhile, the frequency of named monsters appearing has gradually gotten faster, and four new named monsters have already appeared.

Rock catfish, mud spirits, stalactite golems, and even deformed water snakes. They showed off new forms and threatening abilities… … .

‘These are all familiar faces.’

Dojin leisurely gave orders whenever a named monster appeared, and the party consisting of a warrior, a priest, and a magician trampled the named monsters without mercy.

‘The five named characters have appeared, so next will be the boss.’

And now, finally, it was the dungeon boss’s turn.

‘This time, the spirit essence definitely has to come out.’

Dojin was nervous.

It was because of the anxiety that the item I was looking for might not come out.

For the first clear, one of the highest grade items among the rewards is guaranteed to drop, but that doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get exactly what you want.

‘Since one of the same level items comes out randomly… the probability is roughly 1 in 10.’

Dojin prayed. He prayed that the spirit essence would be chosen from the items on the drop table.

‘Or give it to me as a hidden quest reward.’

Spirit Essence isn’t a particularly valuable item to receive as a hidden quest reward, but Dojin desperately needs it right now.

Because the first LOST world event was about to start, and in that event, Spirit Essence could be a hidden card.

[The dungeon boss monster ‘Spirit Dragon Remnants’ has awakened from its deep sleep.]

“… You’re here.”

The boss appeared at a ghostly timing, as if the prayer had reached him.

To see the results, you’ll have to open the box, or rather, the boss monster.

Dojin quietly burned the magic incense to stabilize his mana.

* * *

“Hey, boss?”

Teresa jumped at the message that the boss monster had appeared.

Dojin said to her like that.

“Check the message below that.”

Teresa rolls her eyes at Dojin’s words.

Soso’s eyes moved similarly.

[There are 2 auras of the absorbed water spirit named monster.]

[You can use the dungeon special skill “Water Shield” Lv.2.]

[There are 3 auras of the absorbed Earth Spirit Named Monsters.]

[You can use the dungeon special skill “Sealed Stalactite” Lv.3.]

A question appears on the faces of the two people who saw the unfamiliar message.

“I think this is probably why we summon and catch named monsters. To obtain skills to use when facing the final boss.”

I checked the skill description created by Teresa and Soso according to Dojin’s words.

[Water Shield: Personal]

Creates a water attribute shield that lasts for 3 seconds.

Cooldown: 30 seconds

[Sealed Stalactite: Party]

Each time you deal a certain amount of damage to a boss monster, the number of uses for “Sealing Stalactite” will be charged. “Sealing Stalactite” deals large fixed damage and stacks the sealing aura on the boss monster.

Current number of uses: 1

A special skill that can only be used in dungeons.

It was an explanation that anyone could see was that water was for defense and land was for attack.

“They’re telling me to use this to catch them.”

Teresa nodded as if she understood.

Beside him, Soso asked Dojin.

“If I catch this, will this dungeon end?”

Dojin nodded, and Soso also nodded in satisfaction.

“It was boring, but it turned out well. I was waiting for it to end.”

“Aren’t you nervous? It’s a boss fight after all.”

Soso answers Dojin’s question as if it were a given.

“You’ll take care of it yourself, right? Judging from what you’ve done so far, I don’t think there’s anything special about being the boss. No?”

Dojin smiled bitterly at the words spoken with an expressionless face.

“Let’s try.”

Other than that, I didn’t really have anything to say.
