Hellbents
Chapter 187: Full On Offensive

No one asked me more about how the molotov cocktail works on his hands. Once again feeling that Eve's reputation as a genius inventor greatly helped Ava in convincing anyone in her manufactured items.

The main problem of their fight with the Venus King yesterday was the lack of effectiveness of physical attacks, whereas the fire attribute that provided significant injuries was extinguished too quickly. That's why Ava used her modern knowledge. The biggest danger of molotov cocktails is not when the thrown bottle breaks, but rather the fire that is attached due to the alcohol that soaks the target. So, Ava took the risk of making a bottle of alcohol that would initially be used as a wound cleanser, branding it a simple barbarian weapon that was easy to make.

But it also gave birth to a new problem, one bottle alone would not be enough to deal with a monster as big as a man-eating flower. Fortunately, Ellijah enthusiastically helped. An hour waiting, Duke Frost returned from their headquarters along with four bottles of alcohol that Ava believed to be King Dion's supply for nighttime hangovers. Perhaps he also realized that his role would be reduced if this plan rested heavily on the fire element, an attribute that was 180 degrees in contrast to his ice element.

Heh. It seemed like the man no longer accepted the king's nonsense. It's enough he was used as a hunting dog for the past few days.

In total, five bottles. Not an ideal number, but it would be enough if Ava chose the right target point.

"All right, let's start one more time." Everyone nodded, ready.

For the second time, they faced off against the Venus King who instantly growled furiously as they approached. The wounds from their fight yesterday had mostly healed, only thin scratches and a few scorching points remained. The self-healing speed of a high-leveled monster was indeed not to be underestimated. In this way, their progress is the same as returning to zero.

This time, everyone took on a new formation.

Ava ran first, forming a zig-zag pattern while avoiding the attack of agile leaves that could not match her speed and agility when at 100%.

Others were tense where they were standing, still waiting for the right time, because from the outside all they saw was a girl who lunged recklessly, just like that, but then it was amazing how agile the princess was to face the monster ... Not like the movement of people with reset levels.

"Graaah!" Fighting on the front lines yesterday, Ava had already remembered the habits of the monstrous creatures. Venus King always screams in frustration when her seven consecutive strikes do not hit the enemy as expected. So Ava took advantage of the golden opportunity that was only a few seconds, to throw her Molotov cocktail into the open mouth.

Pyars!

The bottle broke, the fire instantly enveloped the slimy mouth lined with hundreds of pointed teeth.

Ava's not done yet. Before the monster had time to react, Ava threw another molotov on the ground where the Venus King was embedded, making the thick green stem that supported the carnivorous flower petals slumped red.

This time, no matter how aggressively he moved, the flames would still stick.

"Groan!"

That's their sign.

Siwon summoned five undead warriors and directly sent them to the frontlines.

Although Ellijah was pessimistic about her contribution today, Ava had an important role that only she could do. Security guard.

Other than Kino who was familiar with his own attributes, there was no one who was experienced in dealing with fire. So, Duke Frost will be assigned as the one who prevents them from risking burning alive.

Two pairs of spears daringly ran after their bodies were covered with thin ice, as well as three others as well as one wolf, Lig, the animal River summoned.

One tank, one support, and the rest attackers.

A full offensive strategy that leads them to a winning path not long after.

Five bottles of molotovs have been used, the result is a Venus King that is consumed by fire from the tip of the root to the tip of the petal. A burning body cannot be easily cured with just self-healing ability. That's why each incision and shred it into three times more effective than yesterday's attack.

Along with a desperate howl that bounced onto the walls of the labyrinth, the flower monster slowly changed color, charcoal black.

Molotov sustained injuries, as well as a group of assailants who ensure that the creature is helpless from the beginning to the end of the fight. They succeed.

At last.

Ava knelt down, taking as many breaths as possible for her dry lungs. Although the ice from Ellijah provides defense from burns, Ava still cannot breathe with oxygen engulfed in the flames around her.

Ellijah approached her holding a bottle of their water, completely ignoring the others of similar fate lying around Ava. But that does not mean the girl rejected the gesture of kindness offered by her fake fiancee. He needed water to wet his body as if it were ripe.

"Wow, I didn't know that alcohol and a piece of cloth could be used as weapons of such widespread destruction." Ezra came, offering a satisfied smile at the bright blue portal they were now able to enter freely.

Isn't molotov not too difficult to think about? But this fantasy world was certainly too focused on their outer magic, so Ava could not completely blame the ignorant.

By the way, you may be asking why the prince was following the expedition team if he didn't take any part at all except during the rough strategy formation in the early days of yesterday?

[Sinergy]. The skill that makes two people he connects can work together 10% better than usual.

Is correct. Because of that skill. A skill that is very useful when a crisis situation like this happens again by chance. After all, what better way to force strangers to fight with monsters in a compact manner than magic?

Even so, Ava still felt bitter because Al who did not want to play an active role because of kekeuh in escorting Ezra. If only the old servant had come along, Ava's burden would have been lifted by half.

"I didn't expect any humans to have managed to defeat a level 80 monster when their own level had just reset."

Behind the walls of the labyrinth, a tall, pale figure stepped quietly towards them.

The bored face that Ava instantly hated even though they had just met three days ago.

"You underestimated us too much, Lucifer."

The devil frowned, apparently not liking Ava's speech at all. "I don't know what the source of your courage is, the daughter of the mortal world."

But this time the girl was no longer afraid, no longer giving up before fighting.

If outside the gate Lucifer has a level exceeding 3 digits, here they are forced to be treated the same.
