Chapter 86
Chapter 86: The Calamity of the D-rank Zone (3)
A majestic and thunderous roar coursed through the earth, traveling up through the feet of all who stood upon the ground and reverberating through their entire bodies, instilling terror in their hearts.
Only those who could roughly gauge the creature’s size from such a roar remained in this place, making their own strength a curse rather than a blessing.
As speculation arose that the Deathworm’s size would defy imagination based on the vibrations of its roar, several began to break ranks immediately.
“W-we’re getting out of here!!!”
“Fighting is just asking to die!!!”
“D-damn it, I still have so much I want to do!!!”
Watching in real-time as hundreds scattered and dwindled to mere dozens in an instant, Dohyun couldn’t help but smirk. Perhaps they were being wise, after all. It was far better to flee than to remain paralyzed by fear and become a hindrance in the battle.
The skilled fighters shared similar thoughts.
Rather than stopping those who fled, they actively encouraged them.
“Everyone who thinks they should leave, go now!!!”
“If you think it’s a death trap like they say, then get out of here!!!”
“Life is precious, after all. Kehehehe.”
“If you’re too nervous to move, you’ll really die, so go!!!”
During combat, being stepped on could cause one to lose balance and suffer worse fates, so countless fighters vanished. Fewer than ten parties remained.
Though fewer than fifty in number, the fierce aura they emanated caused the intangible mana concentration to surge, rising skyward as pale smoke.
Now only the skilled remained.
Several observed Dohyun’s party, who showed no signs of being overwhelmed by the pressure, with admiration.
The elite parties, countable on one hand, had already noticed Dohyun’s group, but those who hadn’t caught sight of them later couldn’t help but smirk inwardly upon realizing there were only three.
It wasn’t mockery.
‘Three against such overwhelming presence.’
‘They must have confidence in their abilities.’
‘Even we mid-tier races find this difficult.’
‘To think inferior species like humans could produce such skilled warriors.’
‘Remarkable. I should remember their faces. They might become significant figures later.’
Far from mocking, they felt genuine respect for Dohyun’s party.
After all, the fact that they participated in such a seemingly pointless battle to make a name for themselves in a D-rank Zone spoke volumes about their warrior spirit, and warriors naturally admired those with such resolve.
Similarly, Dohyun couldn’t help but grin at those who remained.
He understood the sentiments of the Heterogeneous Beings gathered here, whether they called themselves superior or mid-tier races.
‘At minimum, C-rank.’
Somehow, those gathered here were organized by similar races, which meant the weakest among the party members was C-rank.
In particular, Bruton’s party had Bruton himself at A-Grade, with all other party members uniformly at B-Rank.
The other parties were mostly composed of B-Rank leaders with C-rank party members.
Recalling that Gallaclro, whom Dohyun’s party had barely managed to defeat, possessed A-Grade characteristics, Bruton would be slightly weaker than Gallaclro, but considering that Gallaclro had already been afflicted by a subordinate at that time, Bruton possessed roughly comparable strength to Gallaclro then.
Such was the caliber of warrior before them.
Dohyun settled into his stance, thinking he would have plenty to observe today.
Without Dohyun needing to speak, Hanalin and Jiyuchan quickly assumed their positions. Hanalin used flight magic to move to a secluded area while beginning to conceal her mana as much as possible.
Jiyuchan similarly used the subtleties of concealment to hide his mana. As everyone present felt the Deathworm approaching, they all did the same.
And the moment their mana was concealed, the Deathworm sensed something, causing the vibrations felt through the earth to intensify further, and Dohyun could see it.
‘There it is.’
The massive circular boundary painted blood-red.
After retreating as far back as possible to create distance, the Deathworm suddenly erupted from the ground.
ROOOAAAAARRRR———!!!
Rubble scattered in all directions as the Deathworm shot upward toward the Dungeon Ceiling, its length defying imagination.
The distance to the Dungeon Ceiling was easily over 100 meters, yet even as the Deathworm nearly reached it, its tail and body remained embedded in the ground.
Several Party Members visibly trembled upon grasping the creature’s sheer magnitude, though they hadn’t lost their resolve to fight.
They were simply at a loss for how to approach it.
As everyone hesitated, I could see it clearly.
[Analyzing the D-rank Zone Boss Deathworm.]

[You acquire 2000 AP.]
‘Huh, quite something.’
Stats higher than when Gallaclro had pushed body reconstruction to its absolute limit through the Aesthetics of Sacrifice. But unlike Gallaclro, who had suffered the burden of physical deterioration, the Deathworm bore no such penalty—meaning it could utilize those stats in their entirety.
Essentially, a creature with stats comparable to a mid-tier or higher C-rank Hunter was rampaging before us.
The problem was that if we didn’t stop it here, its stats would continue rising.
Though the situation was absurd beyond words, I thought this was how it should be—exciting—and activated every available skill I possessed.
First, I activated Guardian’s Body to boost regeneration, along with the newly acquired Outer Shell, and then sacrificed considerable mana through the Aesthetics of Sacrifice to strengthen Guardian’s Body even further, amplifying my regenerative capacity.
“Haaah.”
I drew in a deep breath and resolved to strike first, before anyone else.
I had already analyzed the Deathworm and knew its weakness—just as Soseoram had said initially, its only vulnerable point was its mouth. But what if I could pierce through those hardened scales?
Dohyun seized the momentum, first spinning the magical bullet forcefully with Sharpness, adding rotational force, infusing the spear with Outer Armor’s skill, and even applying the hardening skill.
Hana by herself would fall short of the Deathworm’s steel scales, but the moment all these forces converged, they began to unleash their power.
Whiiiiiii————!
The spear of earth glowed crimson from the ferocity of its rotation, and at the peak of that heat, Dohyun activated Severance, infusing it with the aura of Severance before launching it directly at the creature.
The Deathworm was certainly D-rank, so its steel scales, though A-Grade in nature, couldn’t be fully utilized. For that reason, Dohyun concentrated his magic and skills into the fiercely rotating spear and hurled it forward.
Then.
Kraaaaaaang————!!
With a sound like thunder, the spear flew forward, leading with the darkened power of Severance, and collided with the Deathworm’s scales, attempting to tear them asunder.
Kwaddddddddd———!!!
As the fiercely rotating spearpoint and the Severance-tainted aura desperately bored into the Deathworm, the crimson-hot spear began to stain the creature’s scales red as well.
The heat was so intense that even the sparks scattering around couldn’t fully contain it, dissipating into the air and fading away.
The heat spread in all directions, not just where the scales made contact but radiating outward, yet gradually the speed diminished, and the black light tainted by Severance began to fade.
Kiiiiing———.
Thud——
The rotation itself slowed, and the spear itself began to melt, becoming a blunt scrap of metal that rolled across the ground, yet the Deathworm’s scales were merely heated intensely.
The moment I thought the technique had ended in vain, an unexpected trajectory brought a blindingly white beam of light that struck the heated scales of the Deathworm.
Szzzzzzzzzt———!!!
The heat that had been radiating outward moments before suddenly reversed, and far more intensely than before, it plummeted the surrounding temperature while simultaneously freezing the Deathworm’s scales solid.
Thermal stress developed on the once-scorching scales of the Deathworm, creating forces it couldn’t withstand and generating thermal shock.
Not ending with Dohyun’s spear, but combined with Hanalin’s frost beam—a joint attack.
Crackcrackcrack, crackcrackcrack————!!
The creature’s powerful scales couldn’t overcome the tensile stress, and cracks spread further. Jiyuchan and Dohyun, wielding swords bathed in golden light, suddenly appeared before the cracked scales of the Deathworm and simultaneously swung their blades.
Two golden swords cutting across the air formed a massive X, and as they embedded themselves in the Deathworm’s scales, the blades, which until now had refused even magic let alone steel, tore through with a sharp crack, creating a massive gash.
Szzzzzzzzzt—————!!!
Kwaaaaaaang—————!!!
As the delayed golden sword aura carved into the X-shaped wound once more, the Deathworm, experiencing the pain of being cut for the first time in its life, writhed and convulsed in agony.
“Kiiiiiiiiiii————!!!”
A sharp sonic wave spread outward, and the shockwave that could have torn eardrums was about to spread to all members of the Attack Party, but Dohyun stepped forward first, opened his mouth, and unleashed a mighty roar.
“———————!”
The collision of the two massive sound waves produced opposing vibrations that remarkably canceled each other out, and both dissipated without anyone sustaining injury.
The Deathworm rose from the ground and lifted itself up, and less than a second had passed since everything began.
It was nearly perfect coordination, and even the other parties couldn’t help but be astonished by the Dohyun Party’s display.
But Dohyun and Jiyuchan were still falling through the air, and the Deathworm, noticing this, shook its head in fury as if wielding it as a weapon.
Then.
Kuuuuuuuu——!!!
Wasn’t it said that immense mass alone was equivalent to powerful magic?
Dohyun and Jiyuchan, experiencing this fact firsthand before their eyes, furrowed their brows. When they first reached the creature, they had moved using Jiyuchan’s Teleportation, and they were about to use one of the remaining Teleportations between Dohyun and Hanalin to escape when the creature burst forth.
Less than two seconds after the creature emerged, a black shadow seized both of them and pulled them out of range of the Deathworm’s head.
And as the Deathworm’s head belatedly struck the ground, a massive cloud of dust rose, spreading shockwaves throughout the area.
Kwaaaaa————!!!
Kuguuuuuuu————!!!
Whiuuuuuuuu—————!!!
An overwhelming force that engulfed the entire area in a swirling cloud of dust and earth.
Watching from the sky, Dohyun and Jiyuchan beheld the devastating power they would never dare imagine had it struck them, and they gazed upon their savior.
Bruton, the Stag Beetle Warrior whose gleaming black carapace radiated magnificence, flashed a brilliant smile as he spoke to Dohyun and Jiyuchan.
“A most excellent combination.”
