Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 201: Killing the River Guard
The three of them had already returned to their original places, many incomplete Hob-Goblin corpses lying on the ground. The head says, the upper part of the body is eaten or vice versa.
The land beside the river had been destroyed, even the stream of water started to move sideways where the hole was formed with the shape of a trench due to the body of the snake.
Seeing the state of this place being extremely messy, Natan was very careful. First he gave the bait at the expense of the skeleton, certainly not the skeleton he already had, but a new skeleton raised from the corpses of Hob-Goblin scattered in front of him.
Natan carefully controlled the skeleton stepped closer to the river “dangkal” to observe the situation.
The river was still mediocre without any ripples on its surface. If there were no traces left around, it would definitely think that this river was no danger at all.
There were still no ripples despite waiting for a dozen minutes, but Natan did not give up, she added a few more lures and even made a raft to float on the water.
The small raft floating in the water caused ripples around it, then there was a slight wave on the surface of the water.
The wave was not very big, just like a hand dipped in a bucket. But the next second, an explosion came from deep in the water with a black shadow surging up, pouncing on the raft from below.
Water in a large volume surged, and before it fell again, another loud explosion with a huge flame was heard.
The fire instantly evaporated the newly rising water, and gave rise to a thick smoke that blocked the view.
Natan, who was quite far away, could see a decrease in the blood count of the River Guard. Even though the scales of the River Guard were extremely hard, the insides were still extremely soft, and the explosion from the skeleton managed to weaken the River Guard.
A weak hissing sound rang out from within the smog, it sounded painful and filled with anger.
When the smog had disappeared, Natan saw the River Guard who was about to hide within the river to recuperate. Surely he would not give such an opportunity, it was already extremely difficult to lure the River Guard out of his lair and make him injured like this.
He asks Groot who has been hiding in the ground to act. The bones that formed like tree roots shot out from within the ground, darting like snakes chasing after the River Guard. It caught him, wrapped around him tightly and held the River Guard from getting into the river.
The River Guard was restrained, then moved his large body wildly to escape Groot's bondage. His wild movements made waves of water high in the river, even the land on the left-right of the river was destroyed.
Natan who saw this took action again, utilizing the corpses of Hob-Goblin, he resurrected them to be used as a suicide squad.
He had even awakened the Fire Golem to give a greater impact to the River Guard.
The newly resurrected Skeleton, leapt into the mouth of the River Guard that half of it had shattered. Even though the River Guard closed its mouth tightly, there was still a large hole in the left part of its face.
Duarr! Duarr! Duarr!
The Skeleton that entered the mouth of the River Guard, instantly exploded in succession, adding to the wound. But that was not enough to kill him, given the level of the River Guard and its defense.
Natan was also unsettled, with a loud explosion like this, it would definitely attract the attention of both camps. He was now at Camp Hob-Goblin, and of course he had to be careful.
Seeing the flames still burning at the head of the River Guard, Natan created a new Fire Golem. Asking the Fire Golem to enter the River Guard's body.
The River Guard rebelled more wildly than ever without a sound. He could not make a sound because his mouth was broken, even his tongue was no longer there.
There was faintly a light seeping out from the cracks between the River Guard scales, as well as black smoke surrounding his body.
Nathan smiled thinly. He raised his hand towards the River Guard and said, "Ill explode." He clenched his hand.
The light within the River Guard body looked brighter with the temperature rising, even to the point of making the surrounding water boil. Then, there was a slightly muffled loud explosion coming from within his body.
The black scales that appeared hard at first, started to come off one by one due to the explosion from within.
Ayumi who was beside Natan, widened her eyes looking at the extremely powerful vitality of the River Guard. "We've used this method a lot, and it all ended smoothly. This is the only thing that is hard to kill. His scales were hard, attacking the eyes was also free, and now, attacking from the inside also did not kill him?"
Erina nodded, and revealed her surprise. "Yes, who knew this River Guard was so persistent. We're new on the 28th floor, what happens on the next floor? After seeing this, Erina wanted to go out first. This Dungeon is too difficult, the monster level is too high, and our level is too low."
Ayumi nodded her head, agreeing with what Erina said.
Nathan silently nodded. The reason aside from being that the monster level was too high, he also had to hold a wedding ceremony.
He took a deep breath, then sent out more Fire Golems of a larger size than before.
Those Fire Golems entered one by one into the bodies of the River Guard. This time there was no resistance like before, but the River Guard was still alive because the blood it possessed had only reduced by half.
...
After quite a long struggle, the River Guard finally completely lost vitality. It was lying on the ground, blood rushing in the stream, turning it blood red. Hot steam is seen evaporating above the water surface, and it gives off an unpleasant fishy aroma.
"Sister, has it been?" Ayumi was a little worried as she looked back. From time to time, Hob-Goblin kept coming, indeed they had all been killed by the Skeleton Squad, but the longer, the higher the level.
"It." Natan gave a small nod, she caught her sisters and ran towards the river.
He had already checked the state of the river and discovered that there were no more dangerous creatures like the River Guard inside, so he could be sure to cross the river.
But even so, in order to maximize his safety, he had already sent the skeleton across the river, and he teleported there.
After successfully arriving on the other side, Natan saw the corpse of the River Guard. He took it, saved it in Inventory.
"Precious stuff, should not be wasted, this is all foodstuffs and can be sold for money. Then blood, it said, could be used for medicine."
Natan himself did not know what medicine he was getting, but he still took it. He could hand it over to the Potion and Drug Department, and let them develop it at will.
As for the result, he didn't care much.
Erina jumped down, breathing the air around. "This place is fresher."
Natan took a deep breath when she heard Erina, and realized that the air quality here was better. He did not expect, just because there was a restrictive stream flow, the air quality in the two places could be different.
"Is it possible because of the magic of the Elf Race?"
Ayumi looked around, and nodded. "The quality of Mana here is pure, and in our opinion, the humans on Earth are no longer only concerned with air, but also the quality of Mana. The better the mana, the better for the state of the body."
Hearing that, Natan nodded in agreement. There are some places that have bad Mana, and it will make him feel claustrophobic and there is a feeling of discomfort. But here it was different, he felt very calm, it was like being in a flower yard in a back garden, sitting in a pavilion and enjoying the wind.
"All right, let's go."
Natan shook his head, and eventually returned to business. He carried his younger siblings walking towards the Elf Race Region.
