(EP-104.2) Eyes #5
104 – Piercing Eyes #5
The boss was a giant stone head.
It looked like the smudged head of the statue of liberty.
This thing was about four tis the size of a normal human head and had a crude bronze crown.
It was a little different from what I thought…
But there was nothing wrong with being careful. After all, I could not tell how dangerous it was.
“It looks like it’s sleeping.”
Mirna nodded her head as I quietly cautioned.
“It’ll wake up if you initiate an attack. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to knock it down in order to open the box.”
It was just like what Mirna said.
You must beat the boss first to get the reward.
This was an easy-to-understand structure.
Seup-.
Taking a deep breath, I aid my tail wand at the floating statue.
It would be best to take advantage while the monster was asleep and use my strongest attack right off the bat.
Hu-.
With an exhale, I could feel the magic power hidden in my body burning through my veins.
Pudung, pudung-.
As it coursed through my bloodstream, I vividly felt each and every one of my blood vessels down to my fingertips that had never been sensed before. I was completely imrsed in my own rhythm.
Gooooo-.
There was a gradual sense of fervor, as I prepared to unleash my strongest attack.
With that in mind, I chanted vigorously.
─Paimon-!
Paaaaa-!
With that, a mass of Rank 4 magic power shot towards the statue.
Kwaaang-!
It eventually collided with the defenseless Boss, Observer, creating cracking noise.
━Gwong-!
With that, the statue slamd against the wall with a strange scream.
Kwajik, kwajik-.
The stone surface could not withstand such destructive power and began crumbling like breadcrumbs.
Still, it couldn’t finish the job in one go. Soon, the head once again floated into the air, finally coming to its senses.
Seureuk-.
At the sa ti, the monster opened its stone eyelids, like that of a living being, and looked at .
Degul, degul-.
Its dark pupils were exceptionally lively, which looked horrifying. This thing did not feel like a stone at all!
━Annihilate.
A thick, dull voice ca from the stone statue. This was also the only one I could understand, even with my sensitive ears.
Still, I knew what it ant as I could see strange light gathering around the statue’s eyes.
Jiiing-.
“It’s charging magic in its eyes. Sothing big is coming!”
At Mirna’s warning, I quickly moved behind a nearby pillar. At the sa ti, I felt sothing very hot pass by my neck.
The statue just attacked with Lazer eyes!
I guessed this was where ‘intense gaze’ ca into play…
Fortunately, it was not strong enough to break or lt the pillar I was hiding behind.
Taking advantage of the gap after the attack, I extended my wand and fired a series of spells.
—Paimon!
Kwaajik, kwaajik, kwaajik-.
ㅡGueooong…!
The statue heavily wailed like a bear after being shot by three Paimons. Finally, it completely cracked and scattered all over the ground.
「Complete annihilation!
Gained job experience for ‘Mage’. 100」
Befitting of a boss mob, it gave quite a generous amount of experience. However, I didn’t level up, since I just had one not long ago. Nonetheless, the result was satisfactory.
“Considering it was the Stage 3 boss, I expected it to be a little more challenging.”
Mirna Draco played with the stone debris scattered on the floor with her shoes. Then, her attention slowly moved towards the box.
“Right, let’s open the box.”
At Mirna’s urging, I stood in front of the box and slowly opened it. While wondering what was inside, I saw a squarely folded piece of white cloth.
With a lift, the cloth spreaded out and revealed its true form. It looked like a robe with red embroidery.
Mirna then explained.
“That seems to be a magical item, a Mage’s Robe. It looks good.”
Though, even without Mirna’s explanations, the item’s description was right in front of .
「Angmar Robe: High Artifact. Protects the wearer from fire, magic and curses. The efficacy is further strengthened according to the wearer’s Rank. Solomon’s equipnt masterpiece.」
“Oh hoh!”
Angmar Robe. What a na. And it said that it was Solomon’s masterpiece, so did the Demon King make this himself?
Maybe that was why the effects were so good. Not only did it have fire protection, it also guarded against magic and curses.
I didn’t know to what extent the protection provided, but I particularly liked the fact that its efficacy could get strengthened depending on the wearer’s Rank.
“Can I have this robe?”
What if Mirna said no?
However, Mirna surprisingly gave it to without much fuss.
“It’s been bounded to you the mont you touched it. That’s just the nature of magic artifacts.”
“Bounded”? Like a ga item?
So I put on the robe, closing all buttons and tying the waistband.
The clothes suited perfectly as if it was specifically made for . I didn’t have to change its size, as it fitted like a glove.
Seeing this, Mirna nodded her head.
“Good, it’s almost like it was made just for you. This is pleasing to look at.”
I felt very satisfied with the acquisition of my new equipnt. Now, it was ti to leave this dreary room and head to Stage 4 tomorrow.
Thinking that there could also be a boss room on Stage 4, I couldn’t help but get excited from the potentially better rewards.
However, there was one problem.
The door wouldn’t open.
Mirna and I were basically trapped in this hidden boss room…
“Ha…, are you kidding-?”
Mirna did not hide her irritation as she touched the enclosed space.
