Chapter 45: A Desperate Battle

Trekking through the jungle at night is much more dangerous than trekking during the day.

That's exactly what they're doing now!

Conou's head was cold, so he reflexively avoided his head and rolled to the floor.

West!

Suddenly, Balamunt pounced from the darkness and bit the space his head had once occupied.

If it weren't for the warning from his super instincts, Balamt would be chewing on his head right now.

"What?!" Ed shouted in shock.

Cono quickly stood up and prepared for battle.

'Black!'

Conou opened his eyes.

During the day, the balamut (balamut) looks like any other tiger, with orange fur and black stripes. However, it was already dawn that night, and it had already turned dark.

Eyes, paws...... The whole body is blackened!

It's the perfect camouflage for the night.

"You're not a lizard!"

His shock was short-lived.

Conou grabbed himself and rushed towards Balamut, brandishing his sword.

"Use the Stalker's Curse!" Con shouted.

"Please give me some time until I'm done casting. ”

Edel moved his hand implicitly, muttering to himself.

Slowly, red began to form between his hands.

After Conou was attacked, Balamut fought back.

Its sharp claws cut into thin slices in the air.

Kang!

His blades and claws collided with each other, sending out sparks.

Balamt immediately pounced on it with his mouth.

Cono lowered his head, managed to avoid his teeth, and swung his sword horizontally.

Pare!

A white line splits in the air.

The tiger dodged his sword and jumped to his feet, leaving some distance between them.

"Ed!" Conou called

He's basically saying, "What happened to the stalker's curse?".

"I need a little more time!" shouted Ed.

Conou rushed towards Balamut.

He needs to stay intimate and private so as not to escape. But in doing so, he puts himself in more danger.

aunt

Balamut kicks up a tree and rushes towards Con'ou in a jagged shape.

The kicked tree suddenly fell to the ground.

Conou and Balamute collided with each other.

In an instant, they distanced themselves from each other.

Balamut's front paws turned golden, a clear indication of the skill of the game.

He didn't know what skill it was, but it obviously didn't bode well for him.

Father!

Balamut (Balamut) slammed with its front paws.

Cono chose to use his sword to protect his body instead of attacking.

Con'ou will feel a gust of wind coming from Balamut.

The wind whipped up countless whips and swept him away.

"Ahh

Cono gritted his teeth.

[You've been grazed by Wind Claw.] You took 80 damage. ]

[You've been grazed by Wind Claw.] You have taken 91 damage. ]

[You've been grazed by Wind Paw...]

[You've been grazed by Wind Paw...]

[HP Remaining: 621]

Con Ou was injured by the high wind and was unable to stabilize himself.

The big question is the next attack of Balamut!

aunt

It roared as if it knew it was an opportunity and aimed it at his neck.

He felt cold in his neck. Even if he doesn't have super instincts, he can sense imminent danger.

It's horrible.

'!'

He can't die like this.

Cono activates the bulimia, sacrificing the ghost-shaped shell armor he is currently wearing.

Darkness flowed from the blade and devoured the armor.

[The Demon Sword Ubist consumes the hero's Spectre Armor.] ]

[This is a boss-level skill.] ]

[Goes into binge eating mode.] ]

[The power of the Demon Sword, as well as your own, is doubled in three minutes.] ]

Con'ou's body leaked deep black energy. Darkness enveloped his body, as if to defend him.

At that moment, Balamut bit Conou's neck with his hind teeth.

Red shards splattered from Conou's neck.

"Ahh ”

[You've been hit in an important area.] You have taken 520 damage. ]

[HP Remaining: 101]

He suffered heavy losses. If he is not in a state of gluttony, then he will die then and there. However, because it was active, he could barely hold on to life.

"Wow!" Conou shouted, pushing the sword away.

Good!

His blade radiated a ray of darkness.

Darkness is coming!

It's not just a normal dark strike.

This is a dark blow that is deepened by gluttony.

Perhaps this explains why the beast-like shape is larger and denser than normal.

Light

The huge tiger was directly attacked by the wave of darkness.

With no space between them, it is unlikely that Balamute will avoid his attack.

Yes!

Baramat cried out in pain and rolled to the floor.

Due to the large size, yes a large groove was created in the ground.

"Huck, haha. ”

Balamut gasped and rushed towards Conou again.

"This is my chance. ”

Balamut walked quickly up to the beast, waving his sword.

Pare!

However, his attack failed.

It activates the Golden Skill, creating a protective layer around itself.

White!

His blade was blocked by a protective suit.

"What a skilled bastard!"

How do tigers have shields?

Even so, Con continued to move forward, swinging his sword repeatedly and cracking his suit.

In the case of active gluttony, each of his blows creates a crack in the tiger's shield.

Sister

Just before it broke, Balamut (Kang'ou) swung his front paws.

Baramute responded, swinging the blade vigorously to match it.

Light

Blades and claws meet, but Balamute is the one who is forced to retreat.

That's how powerful gluttony makes him.

He took a step forward and cut crosswise.

Darkness is coming!

Balamout was once again plunged into a wave of darkness. It looks like a pack of wolves hunting tigers.

The tumbling Baramot barely held steady.

And began to retreat.

Full!

"Where do you think you're going!?"

Cono followed.

At that moment, something rubbed beside him.

It was a crimson skull burning with blue flames.

The skull flew swiftly past him like lightning and rounded Balamte.

Then, he heard strange noises.

Balamut!

"I cast the stalker's curse," Ed shouted.

"Follow it!"

This is their chance to beat Balamut.

Balamut continues to apply the stalker curse.

Gyeonggi-do...

Gaga is followed by the blue flames and eerie sounds of the stalker's curse.

Ed followed.

Baramute retreated very quickly. Whenever it kicks off the ground, it travels a great distance.

However, it could not escape Conou. After all, in the case of active gluttony, Conou is faster.

"You!"

Oh quickly catches up and swings down with the blade.

Conou!

aunt

Baramutter quickly spun his body to avoid being attacked.

Southwest!

His sword struck innocent ground.

That moment

It swung its front paws violently.

"Eyes!"

OOK quickly lowered his body.

His HP barely hung up there. Therefore, he was forced to hide from the attack anyway.

Luckily, Con'ou's attack had little effect, and Balamute launched a counterattack.

However, it started and tried to escape again.

"Stop there!"

Conau followed.

It evolved into a fierce battle.

But on the way, he noticed a cave with a huge entrance, and oh escaped into it.

Balamout followed it into the cave, but the moment he stepped into the cave...

Balamut turned 180 degrees and lunged at him. Golden energy ripples around the body.

"Wow!"

Conou swung his sword as hard as he could, after all, he couldn't back down now.

Pare!

Knort

Their power is even gone. In the end, neither side was able to overcome the other, and both sides were forced to back down.

Balamut.

The tiger opened its mouth, allowing him to show his teeth slightly, and then disappeared, going deeper into the burrow.

"I can't let go. ”

Guyarulu followed it into the cave. However, a system message appears informing him that Conor is no longer active.

"I'm going to have to take it off anyway!"

Since binge eating is inactive, he can no longer chase binge. That just means he has to grab it right away while still knowing where it is.

Balamut ran as fast as he could to catch up with it.

But does Baramut agree that they both need to end things here?

If not, then is there anywhere else to run but this cave?

Balamut stands proudly in the middle of the huge cave, illuminated by the embedded gemstones.

Its black camouflage is gone. It regained its orange fur and black stripes and once again stood in front of the majestic tiger.

The Balamtes looked at him from the front and seemed to use body language to indicate this.

"Let's get this done!"

In the end, only one of them will make it out alive.

"Exactly what I said. ”

Conou strode forward.

He could summon Ed (Balamut), and he chased them as fast as he could, but he decided to oppose them.

Eder just wanted to fight one-on-one.

As Con'ou strode forward, Balamt continued to stare proudly. It didn't move an inch.

Conor stopped close enough that the Devil's sword could reach its side. Apparently, he was intimate enough that Balamtet's paws could reach him as well.

In other words, they're close enough to hurt each other!

They stared into each other's eyes.

Is that a signal?

They move at the same time.

"Die!"

Cono wielded his sword.

aunt

Balamute (Con'ou) wiggles his huge front paws.

A clash between the two!

They are constantly attacking in an attempt to kill each other!

Both Balamut and Conou have abandoned their defenses and are fully focused on attack.

Kang. Balamut Conou

His blades and claws clashed incessantly.

They also didn't keep their skills.

Cut! Earth Fragments!

Wind Claw! Roar! Wind Claw!

In the midst of all this, both of them continue to suffer due to the ferocity of their confrontation.

Fragments of red light continued to flow out of the gang and Kang'ou.

However!

One side is gradually gaining an advantage.

Balamut brandished his sword as if in a daze.

His concentration is currently at its peak.

With his experience and talent as a player, he rules Con as the most powerful character in the game, as well as his warlord, his realistic combat sense, and strong character ......!

All of these factors combined, like metal smelted in a furnace, even in the face of such a formidable enemy in such a desperate battle!

Barama, too, resisted until the end.

It uses its golden skill effect!

It also repeatedly used its wind claws, driving him away.

However, Conou wields his sword like a madman, constantly deflecting all the whips he walks through.

Moreover, his first attack on the shield formed a crack in its surface, and by repeatedly hitting the cracked surface, it immediately cracked.

One-step. Further.

Kangou is moving forward steadily.

When Baramout was pushed back.

Come on

Balamut roared at the top of his lungs.

A normal person would feel weakness in their knees!

But the scared dog barks the most.

On the contrary, Conou's ultra-intuitive eyes are calm...... No, they are completely still.

Eventually, Conou unleashed his final blow.

。

Pierce the world with his demonic sword.

Snow-white threads follow the trajectory of his blade!

Oh!

Baramut's vision blurred.

It gathered all the strength that was left to turn the corpse to the side of the cave.

It bowed its head in that direction and died.

[You defeated Baramut.] ]

[Good is a unique boss monster.] ]

[Ah, delete the item that contains its name.] ]

[You have defeated a unique boss monster.] Your reputation has increased, and all aspects related to combat have improved. ]

[The hunting grounds of BalamΓΌt have been restored to their original name: Balamut.] ]

[You have earned the title of "King of the Jungle of Balamut."] ]

"Is this a unique boss?"

This means that this is the only one in the history of Alter, whether it was past, present or future.

The spider queen Arisy (the quiet Ravelo jungle) will be resurrected after a certain amount of time.

More specifically, it will be regenerated. Naturally, because it's a game.

However, the unique Ravello monster does not respawn.

There is only one!

If they are killed, that's it!

So, in the true sense of the word, Balamut died.

No one will ever be able to see Ashhi again.

Also, the boss monster drops a piece of equipment that doesn't live up to its name.

That's the four flashing devices around Baramut.

Balamutter collected the equipment.

Then he looked at the place where Baramute bowed before he died.

The final scene of the unique boss monster Balam (BOSS).

It's...

"It looks like it's missing out on its homeland. ”

It is said that foxes turn their heads before they die.

This is how Conou explains the last act of Balamut.

'Why?'

Con Ou walked in that direction.

There is a large cloth on the wall. He lifted the fabric, revealing an area that seemed to be suitable for human habitation.

There was a brazier, a bed, a table, a bookshelf and books, cooking utensils, etc.

There was also the body of an old woman in a robe swaying in a rocking chair.
