As Practice subconsciously moved his body, he could hear the sound of rock melting.
“This is really a hell of fire.”
The place seemed like it would be interesting to see if it weren’t for the fire surrounding it.
Thanks to Roman-style architecture, the island looked like an abandoned underground city.
The party went up the stairs.
From the terrace of the building, they could see the entire island.
* * *
* * *
Hundreds of lava waterfalls covered the entire city.
That was the most fantastic scenery Hyun had seen since he began playing Asrian.
“Amazing…”
Ain was mesmerized by the hundreds of lava waterfalls.
The lava kept raising, and it began to swallow the city’s buildings one by one.
Then a tsunami of lava struck everything and left it all in ruins.
“It’s coming.”
And once it finally stopped…
Boom-!
Something dropped from the sky as if it were a meteorite.
The silhouette of the demon slowly extended its wings and raised its body.
Jini mumbled while biting her lips.
“Betty…”
The ‘Evil’s Seed’ Dungeon’s final boss.
The guardian of the area, Betty, had appeared.
Betty had the appearance of a woman and black wings. It looked like a bat.
As Betty extended its wings, the energy of the Abyss began spreading through the entire place.
“Kiik… Servants… Of Heaven…”
[You’ve encountered a massive Abyss’s presence!]
[You offer very little resistance!]
[All your stats have been decreased by 20%!]
The message Hyun and Ain received was a little bit different.
[A Heavenly Being isn’t easily intimidated by the energy of the Abyss!]
[All your stats have been decreased by 5%!]
‘There’s nothing we can do about the difference in specs.’
The deeper they went, the harder the dungeon became.
Because Betty was the dungeon’s final boss, it had overwhelming specs.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
He wasn’t expecting to be able to overcome Betty’s Abyss energy perfectly.
The strategy he was thinking of wasn’t about beating it with specs, but was a way to overcome the gap.
“Jini, start!”
“I know!”
Before Hyun spoke, Jini was in front of the party.
“To think that a day would come when I, a Priest, would be in the front!”
While shaking her legs, Jini didn’t back off. She was doing her best to face the Abyss’s energy emitted by Betty.
Why was Jini in the front?
It would be normal to ask that question, but Jini was just moving as Hyun had ordered her.
“Jini, you must always be in front of Betty.”
Just before entering the room, Jini thought she had misheard Hyun’s words.
To think that he’d ask her, a Priest who needed to be protected by the rest of the party, to be in the front!
But after listening to Hyun’s explanation, she understood why.
“Betty’s scariest skill is ‘Rear Leap.’ It instantly teleports to the back of the party and smashes the target with the tail. We won’t be able to dodge or block it with our current level.”
“Then, there’s no way to counter it. Right…?” Practice had murmured in worry.
“The target of the Rear Leap is always fixed: it’s the one that’s furthedy away from it. Basically, the one that’s at the back of the party!”
At the back of the party, there usually was either a Priest or a Magician.
That’s why there was a huge chance that Jini would become the first target of the boss.
“Understood? You must always be in the front.”
Paf-!
The moment Betty disappeared, Jini shrugged her shoulders.
If it weren’t for Hyun’s warning, she would’ve moved to the back of the party or used a defensive skill on herself.
Using a survival skill while in danger was a habit that most Priest’s had in common.
‘It’s going to be okay.’
But right then, she had placed all her trust in Hyun.
She didn’t try to avoid it.
If she suddenly became the target, she would end up dying. There was nothing to do.
But if Hyun’s guess were correct, Betty would appear at the party’s rear!
Boom!
Betty’s tail smashed down half of the building’s terrace where the party was.
Concentric circles spread through the sea of lava.
The power of a level 235 named boss was truly awe-inspiring.
They would’ve probably all died if it weren’t for the previous preparations.
‘Good, everyone’s safe.’
Hyun was at the party’s rear.
The moment Betty disappeared, he used «Assimilation», so Betty ended up hitting the air.
‘Now!’
At that moment, Betty had finished casting.
It was her skill, «Bind», which made two targets stick together.
The rope made of light that she shot without considering her own safety successfully landed on Betty.
Betty, who was about to take flight, was trapped by Jini’s rope.
“I’ve stuck it to the floor!”
Jini shouted joyfully.
Binding an opponent that moved at an incredible speed required a high level of control.
It was something that you could only do if you knew where the opponent would appear.
While Betty was stuck, Practice’s sword hit its neck.
[«Mind Beat» has successfully critical hit!]
[The opponent has fainted for a bit!]
At that moment…!
Ain used her flames to hit Betty.
A pair of flames hit the giant bat’s body.
Kaaaa-!
As Betty moved in pain, the rope that was binding her broke.
That was enough for the moment.
Before it could take flight, Ain had landed more than 10 successful attacks on its body.
Betty, who was near the ceiling, looked at the party.
Suddenly, Hyun shouted.
“Jini, don’t be in the rear!”

Jini, who was taken aback, rapidly moved to the front.
