h7qkEven though the two Unique Grade demons were casually using these spells as if it was nothing, those spells were like a tempest of destruction.ckF9y
cAvIf not for the that separated everything with a barrier that only allowed herself and her familiar to cross it, the aftermath of their fight would have reached the entire building.ecFubD
gduqsdxProfessor Deina was shocked by how each of their spells were powerful enough to easily destroy an entire floor of this building, and was relieved by the fact that it wasn’t leaving the Realm.Mzb

CO1M❰Multi-Shield: Blood Snow Barrier Fortress❱tyEzwah
NlvThe original combination spell, Multi-Shield, which was formed by freezing moisture, was supplemented with the blood of a vampire. It was truly as tough as a fortress but it wasn’t enough to stop the demonic boar.B4n9bM
JLNMDhZ– Kwaaaaaaaaang!!Mdg6
G771xVOne strike made the Blood Snow Barrier Fortress crumble to pieces. Even after destroying those tough fortress walls, the demon boar did not stop advancing forward.rP3JFU

dPJnbRight as the boar was about to collide with her, Marie’s body vanished from sight.cfk
pn8“…”28MLHO
sGQTNuUsing its insane dynamic vision, the demon boar’s gaze chased after her body and realized that it was a crimson dog that moved its foe away from its path.AJmWM
rKd“Doggo?”2Wo8
3x2Ih‘What about the outside?’ Before asking that question, Marie instinctively looked outside and noticed that the laboratory was being splendidly burned down.tn05
Hu3“Korin’s finally here.”SBuFegY
P8MMThere was something Korin had requested of her while explaining his plan.cL5fixj
1RUyB5It was to feed a thousand pebbles and stones to the demonic beasts of the laboratory. Of course, those weren’t normal pebbles and they were stones that had the rune letter, ‘Kenaz’ engraved on them.yPgk9
x4pFtThe plan was to feed those stones to the demonic beasts under the pretext that it was safer for her to feed them, and use Resonant Rune Activation to kill them all at once.XQEwxH
dmkumIThis disastrous scene of the burning laboratory was the result of that plan.66GP
jxfhHigher-level demonic beasts like Grade 2 and semi-Grade 1 were able to withstand the attack somehow, but lower-grade demonic beasts were immediately scorched to death by the flames rising up from their innards.aJaqj1
ieJoThat meant that most of the monsters outside that were keeping everyone busy had been dealt with.GFQR
6rw“Krrhh…!”mxkML8
UrVVpfAt a corner of the Blood Realm, Doggo dropped Marie back down on the ground. Watching from outside the barrier next to them was Korin.6IW
TnutHkL“Korin!”YDW
4qA5“Thank you for your hard work, Senior.”KbV
hOXm“I did my best!”4W1kx0
lnb“Everything became a lot easier thanks to your help. Can you open this for us?”o5guM
7AOQfAZOnly Marie and her familiar were able to enter and exit out of the Blood Realm. That was common sense but there was an exception.yY72RY
pxGboH“You can just come in, Korin.”8YA
YTN“Hnn?”yEZ4e
rLDKB0wIn response, Korin reached forward with his hand as it easily passed through the barrier made of blood.SLAeqU

vnLqqThe party was far beyond being simply good and was even extravagant, but they were still unsure of victory because the enemy was a great monster that befit its notorious fame.uNyrD
C10And besides…3izjSu1
VeeUiC– Grrhh…sL1o
QK5g– Kiyaaa—–9Qj
uwnkThe stronger demonic beasts that survived through Korin’s Resonant Rune Activation slowly gathered to form an army.pXKK5sh
F52zoXThose monsters that should have been fighting recklessly without any order or cooperation had gathered under the single flag of a Unique Grade. They were about 30 in numbers.eSP
oLbSSEmFighting against 30 Grade 2 monsters at once was already a tough task and yet behind them, there was even the Unique Grade demonic boar.fBa
9wOkg“Krrrh…!”s9t
pAbA short howl echoed from the boar followed by Marie’s immediate shout.IX6
8q82“Everyone, scatter!”35Tlu
oZsYSEveryone reacted fast. Both knights and mages instinctively sensed danger and retreated. The only ones that did not listen to her advice – the demonic beasts – were caught up by the relentless march of the boar.ddYZUT

B83oO“You idiot. You can’t go head-to-head against that!”LaYlh7
raWiKorin’s shout was buried under the crushing footsteps of the golem.sFoB
WhtThe siege golem had proven its strength by defeating the King Tyrant. Its destructiveness was marvelous, even more so after receiving the enhancement of a druid.RhsF

1CFvmw⟪Forced Explosion of Elemental Core x 7: Flying Knee Kick⟫8igd
Nwl“GOOOOOO!!”mdcWim
NahR8The powerful kick was made by sacrificing most of the elemental cores that were left behind in its body. Even a Unique Grade demon boar would get injured if it received such an attack to its skull!jf2
iEk85– Kajik!i8LD5
2HfVBYThe marching demon boar collided against the leg of the golem. The result was very obvious.lob
N6i– Pang!KYYpgs
LOO76GBThe leg of the Junk Golem, which was made by combining the remains of golems that weighed tens of tonnes, crumbled in an instant. Like a balloon, it popped and vanished when it reached the boar.uWf
c8AO3gf“This can’t be…!”JJtWB
rm0EKranel and Yuel were greatly astonished. They probably weren’t expecting the strongest knee kick under Yuel’s greatest support to be crushed this easily.1NLxj
rWsV“Kranel, hold onto it as much as you can! You need to last 30 seconds at least! Go!!”wMGIX
3tNEI“Eeeek…!”SoJRHO
plYSHe hurriedly started moving the Junk Golem. Holding onto the demon boar that did not even slow down after destroying one of the golem’s legs, he tried his hardest to slow down the monster.VDsC
6EiB4Go“Yuel! Grow your plants! You must hold it back somehow!”Mbv
lE8j2m“You make it sound easy!”U83KF
6zqEODespite shouting back, Yuel followed the order given by the party leader. She wrote an Ogham letter through her staff. Using the profound abilities of a druid, she grew plants from the literal bottom pits of nature.Srp
OZ9B27“Dorron! Attack the sides! Don’t use the magnetic and the heavy iron sword! Focus all your mana on the lightning and fire spirit swords and go as fancy as you can to grab its attention!”J9mrYJ
AD0HgE“Those two swords require a lot of mana. I won’t even last 3 minutes if I use them in full scale. Is that still okay?”ioESb
YUQ4L“It doesn’t matter. That’s all you need to do. Explode your swords at the end if you need to. The important thing is to deal as much damage as possible using your magic swords.”sPPxBZ
OVZn“What a cold thing to say, Boss.”joBFnS
lCaVJTHe grumbled but still followed Korin’s command, because Korin had never given a wrong order as a party leader.LfLdmf
m12A strategist that raises the best and safest options in a timely manner – there was no reason for him to disobey as a mercenary.YFM
vxa0GC6– Kwaaaang!CvswK
WswNNDLarge plants shot out of the ground. The huge bean sprouts that were amplified by the secret skills of a druid reached out at the demon boar in order to stop the giant monster.2IU7W
FwtHwNAfter losing both of its legs, the Junk Golem clinged onto the boar using its arms and its weight. Thanks to that, the demonic boar had been slowed down a fair bit.bZuW
Bl9– Duruk! Creak!lCNMCOG
jUl– Rip! Kajik!FBNHE
oFT2zHowever, the boar was still moving forward. The golem weighing tens of tonnes was being dragged along the ground, while the huge vines were being ripped without being able to stop the monster in its tracks.nEAKKn
JBbHvA“…Are you serious?”fIn
Kb8f3“How is this even possible…”8UUICrb
TEyqThis was a Unique Grade. A monster that couldn’t be measured by human standards.0sS3La

Je7Sg2TThe demon boar simply walked out ignoring the plants and the golem that were holding onto its legs. As if they weren’t fully wrapped around in the first place, it naturally walked out.7q1zm9
23BOTGi“Dorron!”o47

pdpNwuThe mercenary’s swords started to dance.65k3qn
RehcThe sword of fire and the sword of lightning. Those weapons had been upgraded into having the best Grade 1 magic stones that he received as reward from the Academy after Marie Dunareff’s incident.hwjbQ
B0u0His swords were truly remarkable. Bolts of lightning danced around with tall flames to sear both sides of the boar.SWxwv
sYWk『Primal Rune – ó』kXVDcw
e7nThis time, the hairs of the monster started turning into blue. The swords of flame and lightning reached the demonic boar after its hairs finished turning blue.B5MHil
fW8x“What?”8CP8e
pfDZ1dZDorron felt nothing. Although he was flying the swords around with telekinesis, he was the one controlling them. He should be feeling some type of collision if they were to come into contact with something.kyMy
WKNHowever, he didn’t feel anything just then as if he had slashed through thin air.8iq
iuywN6j“Korin!”uZJvvY
ZwXVm“Yes, I know. Send Doggo forward.”QDsjfbB
TpWEt4Only Marie, who had been fighting against the King of Iron Mountain until now, was able to understand what was going on.HrtSj
hHWZi“Doggo!”BYSCah
h1GzoZThe familiar of blood heeded to the call of its owner and marched forward. Its destructive vigor was by no means less than that of the large monster.CPI
Gfj– Kung!okOHJR
xK3Relying on pure speed, the blood dog pounced forward. After being hit by the dog that was even faster than the speed of sound, the demon boar’s body wobbled for the first time.81yOE15
1fhy4hK“Krrh…!”TeN6
LIOxp“It worked?!”zE0zVd
XGgQThe party members cheered out loud, thinking that they had finally managed to land a meaningful strike.J9K
Ub8HbThe Primal Rune that was swallowed by the demon boar – the statement that ‘Paradise exists’ and the power that stemmed from it was like a play on words.1DVGpu

VsmwL69The 8 letters required to head into Paradise.iWHK
eqYSsOkAs something that existed but not anymore, the Paradise gave out incomplete notions of power. In the case of the demon boar, the notion was that Paradise existed. This concept was realized in but in an imperfect way that had two conditions.UzhW
Ug3Hu7Red hair gave complete resistance to physical attacks.S8LIxme
oULZIrcBlue hair gave complete resistance to magic attacks.42x
RiTwO5BAnd the gold hair, its final resort was…QF87
Y9s“Kranel and Yuel. Try your best to hold it back as much as you can. If it slips out of your grip, do it again. Dorron, attack from medium-range. Alicia and I will be waiting for our turn at the back.”Lbm7T2
SEHFx“Korin, what about me?” Marie asked.7eg9X
tfL“Leave all the attacks to Doggo. Wait until I give you other orders.”WKh
VXD2za“Okay!”45a13
zrKqK“Everyone. Do not worry about what comes next. This is a fight for our lives and the result will be decided shortly. Pour out everything you have and we will win.”J4L

T3ClThose annoying things started to slow it down again, so the demon boar immediately changed its hairs to red.YGxBY
JNO“Uhht?!”S986npR

BKKzSzMAs soon as the hairs changed its color, the arms of the golem and the plants ended up slipping out as if they couldn’t even come into contact with the demon boar.nKnze
OJZJ“Dorron.”IgOfu3
3DKThe lightning spirit sword and the fire spirit sword started to dance and struck down at its sides as if it had been waiting.u0wuH5E
wFUDue to the magic stones inside and Dorron’s skills, the flames and lightning bolts of these swords were on a similar level to the high-grade spells of mages.Odwx
FKlngHowever, the boar started turning its hairs to blue and escaped from his attacks again. That was when…oWNGRO
UwX“Gyaaooo!!”e4X
Wr2uIt was the same pattern as before – Doggo threw its body at a rapid speed and marched in at the side of the demon boar as soon as it started changing its hairs to blue.0vQ
LOz– Kung!UORh
rTqXlI9The power behind the attack was enough to send its onlookers shivering but Doggo realized that something was different after marching at it.1576pL8

z8c8YcWThe color of the hairs hadn’t changed – the monster had stopped changing the color of its hair in the middle, and they were still red.Njhr1
qR8Y1bpA feint.lrV4r1
eQCbShowing its change to the magic-resistant blue hairs was a trick to attract Doggo, who was proving to be the most threatening foe.81VW

3h1z“…”Xx73cEQ
ZTvMgUeMarie regained her temper after hearing Korin call her from the side. She retrieved Doggo who was starting to lose his shape after being crushed.uDK
Oz1It was possible to resummon him after sufficiently replenishing blood and mana but she didn’t have enough blood to do that right now.WXe3
Gg6IU9❰Blood Spear❱XYt
HbNvI0SShe created dozens of Blood Spears in the air. After being amplified by her specialty, those spears were several times stronger than normal medium-grade spells.t76XIe
HVa9KN“Blow it away!”EeBW4
3vXo7a2Without even bothering to dodge the attack, the demon boar dashed into the tempest of spears.OKyatw
LU1Q3mbIts hairs turned blue. Despite ignoring Dorron’s swords like it was nothing, the boar used its Primal Rune to fight against Marie’s attacks. Its first priority now was Marie Dunareff.Urpx
P3Etdk– Kagagang!z9m
QpBThe spears began to break immediately upon contact with the boar without leaving a single wound on its body. The boar and Marie were now less than 10 meters apart.UUZuW
mRJDqoAMarie still had more than enough mana. She could continue pouring out newly-created Blood Spears for hours without an end. The only issue was that the enemy wasn’t keen on giving her the time to use all her mana.ccyJS0A
KvmG8“Let’s do this.”Ndbk9L
Uxx0xT– Thud!Dz8
PkLThe spearman kicked off the ground, making everyone doubt their eyes. No-one was expecting there to be a fool who would charge back at the march of the demon boar.ifEmkea

tF3U1Y“……?!!”apx
kQ1cYthThe demon boar that was holding off against Marie’s magic bombardment with its blue Primal Rune was flustered by the unexpected yet destructive attack.EPGlh
qCC9FThat single strike was even stronger than the bombardment used by a Unique Grade mage. Seeing that incoming spear, the demon boar immediately realized that the attack had the power to leave a massive wound on its body.eeUYwCp
szAF6Did it have to change to red hair? As the boar quickly accelerated its thoughts, it spotted the vampire pointing the staff at its body in its slow perception of the world.LSLChD
IZF6VMLMana was gathering at the tip of the staff.RqNK4r
wxv5ZGEven though she was already creating tens and hundreds of Blood Spears, she was casting another spell on top which was in a different league to what she had used thus far.VeW
3HLsdGSThe boar immediately noticed what their plan was. As soon as it changed its hairs to red in order to avoid the tossed spear, it would be swallowed by that massive spell. It was bound to receive a large amount of damage no matter what happened.CSQHp

ZeXCUVThe first one to let out a stupified gasp was Kranel, who had been controlling the golem. He was appalled after seeing the change that started from the butt of the demon boar. After him were Dorron and Yuel, who were likewise flustered upon seeing the new color of the boar.eekB

MH53uIj“Alicia.”htmaMn
guLZBut the king’s vanity lasted only a second.iQrGUoo
nr7PBlsNext to where the spearman landed – 10 steps in front of the boar – was a swordsman with bent knees and a lowered head.GPJPr
OuCDsdAmidst the confusion of the laboratory caused by everything being crushed, destroyed and crumbled was a swordsman keeping her calm like the tranquil ocean.6OD
23TThe king looked at her.4UTZqj
zXHprThey were only 10 meters away. It would take 0.5 seconds for its current unstoppable march to reach her; another 0.5 seconds for its fangs to penetrate through her stomach, and 0.5 more seconds for it to be trampled on the ground after being shredded into pieces in the air.pU99at
HzN22GOverall, it should take less than 1.5 seconds.XGcV5W3
gyRH7The opponent was just a feeble and tiny human that should be gone in less than 1.5 seconds. That should be it but if so… why was the swordsman making the king feel this uneasy and vigilant?RrFP

DKBWiI was probably the only one who saw what happened in that short decisive moment. Everyone who hadn’t been able to see her entry to the Domain and her slash inside the Domain doubted the scene before their eyes.uICz
AORuMKUAlicia herself was barely holding onto her sword with her shivering right arm. That was probably the strongest strike she had ever pulled off in her entire life.KoQ
CjeIwcQ“Uhhh…”ZjhTl
gIRgxI supported Alicia who was about to powerlessly fall to the side. It was very commendable that she was still holding onto the sword despite her condition.gHYu5I
6Fg“I, is it dead?”jb3jx

w3PokOzThe last phase of King of Iron Mountain, the demonic boar of the Dingle Peninsula, was where the final boss became invincible for 5 minutes.tPkRE
vOeIt was truly a disgusting mechanic but there existed a secret way around this phase.FB5
jCKdNE1And that was none other than Domain Severance.N4K
wgADomain Severance was like a killing move in a suspended world, but it had another effect in the game.4X40
qJI99q100% Physical and Magic Penetration.UJMx
zVbIIThe reason why Alicia Arden was the strongest counter to all the boss characters who loved having a bunch of physical or magic resistances was simple.cQWTxHG
sc0FrcbThere was nothing in the world that could block her sword strike when she was staring into the gap between dimensions through her Eyes of the Boundary.E3D1
RJMVhS3The normal way to go through that last phase was by running around for 5 minutes from that demon boar but Alicia could defeat it in one strike.Ecg
lG2yHer strongest attack as a result of the combination of the Domain and the Eyes of the Boundary were exceptionally overpowered. There was a reason why she was called the True Alicia after her scenario quest.cvZG
YZorx“As expected, one well-nurtured Alicia… is way better than 10 people~”MWCQWTp
mNGIZ“W, what are you talking about?! More importantly, is it okay to leave that monster like that? Isn’t it going to run around again?”OxE
d2KEhAQEven after being slashed by Alicia’s secret move, the boar was still alive. That was natural considering the sheer amount of HP it had.WBR4o1m

SsdJIt was then. As soon as I finished saying that, a grandiose magic circle appeared at the ceiling.Ph5I7H
uONo“W, what is that?”oUBgkR
2emc“That’s the repaired version of the broken grand magic circle…”q9P
GB8JjEI had asked Lady Josephine to repair the grand magic circle of the laboratory while we were stopping the boar. That was the normal approach to the boss fight back in the game as well.giF9f7d
bGUBKrg“She finished repairing it that fast?”9Ax5m
99REfEveryone seemed surprised by the works of the great witch, but this wasn’t the end just yet.doiR8K
ZpfF“The golden hair pattern is a strong ability, but it can’t use the Primal Rune again for some time after that’s over.”PD8
OOJIn other words, now was the only chance to kill the demonic boar. It was very rare to even get a chance to kill someone or something that contained a Primal Rune.vDTia
