Seong was slightly intrigued by Valtar’s words, but...
“I—I don’t need training!!!”
Leonic also shouted in a desperate, frantic manner as he charged forward.
What kind of training is this, really?
Both Valtar and Leonic, as if driven by pure desperation, rushed forward, swinging their great sword and sword toward Carn.
One against two.
However, Carn seed rather entertained by the whole thing.
She ran up the wall, swiftly bringing her spear down first toward Valtar.
Kaga-ka-ka-ka-ka!!!
She felt a strong recoil.
Valtar took a slight step back, but in the process, he smoothly swung his great sword.
Yet, from the mont it was swung, the great sword transford into a heavy, thunderous strike that felt more like a bolt of lightning.
The graceful swordplay combined with the heavy weight of the great sword created a strike that drew a blood-red crescent, flying toward Carn.
It seed as though the crescent blade would split Carn in two at any mont.
However, Carn, with a swift sorsault, managed to dodge the blood-red crescent.
It was a very close call, and Carn barely avoided the strike.
Taking advantage of the opening, Leonic charged in.
While Carn was still in mid-air after her sorsault, Leonic’s sword ca flying toward her.
“Take this!!!”
Leonic’s battle cry rang out as his blade swung, but Carn, using the rotational montum from her sorsault, twisted her spear and deflected the blood-red crescent blade.
Imdiately, she altered the trajectory of the blade, sending it straight at Leonic.
The blood-red sword aura collided with Leonic’s indigo-colored blade, clashing violently with each other.
Kwah-kwah-kwah-kwah-kwah!!!
“Damn it!”
The two energies seed evenly matched.
The clash between them faded quickly, but Carn, unhard, aid her spear at Valtar.
Shwoosh!!!
The spear sliced through the air, making a sharp, swift thrust that Valtar, having just used a powerful move, could not avoid.
No, he had tried to block it, but perhaps realizing it would be futile, he had decided to allow his left shoulder to take the blow.
However, at the last mont...
Kaga-ka-ka-ka-ka!!!
Fiora, with hands shaped into shields, blocked the spearhead first, and behind her, Noctrynium, using his hand to form a wall, supported her to prevent the spear from reaching its target.
“...?”
Even Carn seed caught off guard, her face showing confusion.
Just then, above her, Barfur appeared, his enormous hands brought together in a mighty slam.
Kwah-a-a-a-a-ng!!!
It was a nearly perfect team effort.
But Carn, within that brief mont, retrieved her spear and used it to block Barfur’s strike. She then propelled herself off the ground, spinning in mid-air to soften the impact.
The air cracked as the shockwaves blasted outward.
But the force that reached Carn wasn’t as devastating as it seed.
Her combat sense and skills were on par with Leonic, Fiora, and Valtar.
Yet her power was so far beyond theirs that it made the situation complicated.
‘If she had just had the sa skill as them...’
No.
Her physical strength was certainly greater than Carn’s.
In fact, Carn, despite being an undead from a hidden raid boss in an earlier area, was not as physically strong as Zine.
But the frightening thing about Carn was how her strength was combined with such refined technique.
No wonder the other players couldn’t defeat her.
And an odd thought arose.
‘Who was the person that almost killed soone like her alone?’
The realization hit that the female player from the quest screen was far more impressive than first thought.
Bang!
Kwah-ka-ka-ka!
Fwoosh!
Kwah-ji-ji-ji-ji!!!
Carn, Valtar, Leonic.
The three of them led the charge with ferocious attacks, while Fiora and Noctrynium defended and supported from the front and rear.
At the mont of an opening, Fiora suddenly transford into the shape of a small dragon.
Everyone quickly retreated, and Fiora, opening her mouth, exhaled a breath.
Compared to a normal dragon...
Her breath was minuscule.
But it was more than enough to fill the labyrinth’s passage.
Carn, too, looked at Fiora in her dragon form, her eyes and lips curving into a thin smile.
“I wonder what it feels like to cut off a dragon’s head?”
She muttered in a crazed tone.
Then she laughed terrifyingly.
The breath engulfed her.
Kwah-a-a-a-a-a-a-ng!!!
The entire labyrinth trembled as if it was shaking.
But more than the tremors, the breath seed to lt everything in its path, as if it would dissolve both the walls and the ceiling.
Although it didn’t entirely lt everything, the walls began to lt like lava.
Amidst this molten destruction, Carn burst out from the lava.
For a mont, one might doubt whether she was human.
Her skin had lted, revealing raw muscle beneath, as if it was dissolving.
Her skin had burned away, leaving horrific scars, yet her muscles remained intact, holding their shape.
Her exposed muscles looked like fibers.
Despite how painful it seed...
“Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!”
Carn laughed madly.
Then she shouted.
“The scar from that woman has disappeared, hasn’t it!? Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha!”
Even the undead were left stunned by the sight, as Leonic muttered.
“She’s insane.”
Even Valtar, the demon, shook his head.
“She’s not normal.”
The two spoke as they stepped forward to stop Carn, while Fiora, exhausted, retreated behind them.
Since Carn was also wounded, it was assud her strength had been weakened, leaving just the two of them to step up.
Barfur, carrying Fiora, moved to the rear.
It was too dangerous for Fiora to stay in the front.
As Barfur and Fiora moved to the rear, Carn, with a crazy laugh, charged at Leonic and Valtar.
With a crazed shout, she swung her spear toward them.
The crimson aura wrapped around the spear as it seed to elongate with an illusion, and with a swift motion, Carn’s spear appeared to vanish before it suddenly struck.
Whoosh—!!!
The speed of her strike widened Leonic and Valtar’s eyes in shock.
Despite all the wounds she had received, she was still able to strike with such power?
In that instant, Noctrynium quickly ford a wall behind them, trying to give them ti to brace, but it was no use.
Kwah-a-a-a-a-a—!!!
Carn blocked the spear, but could not withstand the force. She was sent flying, crashing through the wall created by Noctrynium.
She didn't just lose her stance; she couldn't even hold her ground as she was violently thrown backward.
Seeing this, Noctrynium stepped forward to stop the attack.
But Noctrynium, being unsuitable for combat, was no match for Carn.
Nevertheless, Noctrynium pushed forward, taking the lead to protect his master and blocked Carn’s path.
“Huugh!!!”
When he unleashed his full strength, the entire labyrinth around them began to move, seemingly trying to engulf Carn.
It would be nearly impossible to escape before the labyrinth was completely destroyed!
However, Noctrynium overlooked one critical detail.
Even if the labyrinth surrounded her...
It couldn't trap Carn.
"Get out of the way!!!"
"You can't handle this!!!"
"No, Noctrynium!!!"
"Oh no!!!"
Everyone shouted, and Barfur rushed in to defend as quickly as possible, but it was too late.
Kwah-a-a-a-a—!!!
The vicious energy shattered the labyrinth, and amidst the destruction, sothing shot out like a ray of light.
It was Carn holding her spear.
“Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha! Dieeeee!!!”
With that cry, the crimson spearhead rushed toward Noctrynium’s neck.
It seed like it would sever Noctrynium’s head in an instant.
But the spear halted abruptly just in front of him.
In the dark labyrinth, a deeper darkness began to erge beneath Carn’s feet, and she tilted her head in confusion.
“What’s this?”
Her voice filled with doubt as a hand from the abyss reached toward her.
It surrounded Carn.
Yet, Carn scoffed at it.
“Hmph! This nonsense…”
[The grip of the Abyss will seal your movent for 3 seconds.]
[Hidden Raid Boss, "The Worst of Pentagrid, Carn," is attempting to resist.]
[This is an unresistable skill.]
“...?”
At that mont, a dark energy shaped like a projectile appeared before Carn.
The projectile struck her face with force.
Kwah-a-a-a-a—!!
“Khgh!”
[Critical Hit!]
Even Carn groaned in pain as her head jerked back.
When she lifted her head again, a turquoise spear was lodged directly into her skull.
“Kraaaah!!!”
[Critical Hit!]
[Darkness damage applies.]
[The Worst of Pentagrid, Carn, resists so of the damage.]
[The Worst of Pentagrid, Carn, loses all sight and sensory perception for 2 seconds.]
Her senses were blocked.
She couldn’t tell up from down.
It was as if she had fallen into a weightless void.
Her vision was compromised.
She couldn’t even sense whether her restraints were released.
She could feel sothing, though.
But it wasn’t clear.
‘Am... am I bleeding?’
She felt the sharp blade against her skin.
Was it a delusion?
No, she thought, at least it wasn't.
[Using Sword Skill "Darkness."]
[The darkness consus her.]
[The darkness engulfs the Worst of Pentagrid, Carn, blocking her vision.]
[The darkness engulfs the Worst of Pentagrid, Carn, blocking her hearing.]
[The darkness engulfs the Worst of Pentagrid, Carn, blocking her sense of touch.]
[The darkness engulfs the Worst of Pentagrid, Carn, blocking her sense of sll.]
[The darkness engulfs the Worst of Pentagrid, Carn, blocking her sense of taste.]
[The darkness continues while the sword remains imrsed in it.]
Even when her senses should have returned, they didn’t.
She could no longer differentiate up from down.
Her awareness returned, but it wasn’t complete.
She felt as though her body was moving, sensing the hostility coming toward her.
“Gya-ha-ha-ha-ha!!! You even use tricks like this!!!”
As she reacted to the incoming threat, Carn, unable to feel anything, moved her body, managing to block the attack as best she could.
Although she couldn’t completely block Seong’s strike or the attacks from Leonic, Valtar, and Barfur, she did her best to defend.
Despite being completely senseless, she still managed to move.
Seong, watching from the side, shook his head in disbelief.
“Unbelievable.”
But not anymore.
Seong said this and activated his sword skill.
Deeper than darkness, darker than pitch-black.
As he wielded a sword wrapped in the energy of the Abyss...
Light returned to Carn's eyes.
“It's darkness!!!”
