The Archon
He's Coming!

"Please hit me.... Is that really Shenlong?!" Bosman said with tremors all over his body.

As he requested, Guren immediately hit him hard to the point of causing Bosman to fall.

"Why did you hit me?!" Shouted Bosman to Guren while holding his right cheek.

"You asked, didn't you?" Tanya Guren's wonder to Bosman.

"You people! Stop joking" Levi reminded them.

Shenlong was only silent in the sky while watching them, the hunters who looked up were amazed and also anxious at the same time. The legendary dragon that only existed in the story was now in front of them as the boss of the dungeon. Rossi also approached Rudy who was currently staring at Shenlong with a smile.

"Why are you smiling?" Rossi looked at Rudy.

"It's okay, I'm just amazed to see it"

"Are you not afraid of death?"

"It doesn't seem"

So Rossi looked down at Rudy's hand, his hand shaking with the fear he was covering up, "Basic liar" In his mind Rossi said that, "Take it easy, we'll be fine" Rossi tries to calm Rudy down.

"Well, hopefully" Rudy turned to Rossi surprised at the intent behind the words and continued to smile back.

On the other hand the White Lotus guilds were in a gathering circle while staring at the last boss.

"Geraldo, thank you" Gai said something very confusing to Geraldo.

"What do you mean by thank you?" He did not understand the meaning of the word behind it all.

"Bas on you fool!" Smile Selica to Geraldo.

Geraldo still did not catch the intentions of his friends, he looked one by one the faces of those who had fought with him and Rado at that time. A sincere smiling face implied on their faces, a moment later he thought hard at last he realized the meaning of Gai's words. His eyes suddenly glazed over and his mouth opened as a result of the word being held back.

"No! Don't say it like that... We're gonna make it, believe me.. Here.... There are top 10 hunters, right?"

His voice trembled to ward off fate, but their response still gave Geraldo their sincere smile. The other hunters also carried away the atmosphere and began to shoulder it. The captains could only watch the grief with deep sympathy.

"Geraldo.. if you think about it again, the time of the breakdown will occur in approximately one more day.use it to escape out with captain Rudy, we will as much as possible hold the boss" Gai had already made up his resolve with the others.

"No.. If you're not around, I don't know what to do?" Geraldo forced to close his eyes in grief.

"Your journey is still long, there is no need to sacrifice yourself. Joon Sung and I will try to find a way to get you all out" Lucero said walking towards them.

"At least, if we fail, please take Aamber with you" Lucero continued while looking at Aamber who was carried in the robes of one of the hunters made to resemble a stretcher.

"Captain Lucero.." Geraldo was filled with the words Lucero.

"He's coming!" A warning from Kirisaki after seeing Shenlong's movements.

Shenlong wriggled in the sky and always hid behind the smoke believed to be clouds. The cloud was created from one of Shenlong's abilities. Due to the thickness of the cloud, it was able to cover Shenlong's large body.

"Where is he?!" Shouted Guren already prepared with his weapon.

The hunters, who had long-range attack capabilities, immediately aimed at the clouds that were likely Shenlong would be present there.

"I didn't see it.." Julie said she was aiming for her arrow.

"Be patient, he's a boss who has a strategy" Watz said, positioning his arms to attack.

Kenny was also ready with his main gun, while the tanks surrounded the damage dealers to immediately spry when there was an attack coming. They looked very tense waiting for Shenlong to attack, the clouds that were originally gray turned blackish with thunder that shone on them and lightning that raged on the clouds.

The hunters seem confused about what will happen, but because of the alertness that Levi has he immediately warns the hunters about what will happen.

"Everybody dodged fast!" Shouted Levi immediately.

The hunters immediately dodged after Levi warned them spontaneously. Levi took the right step and made his decision to save them from death, a blue-coloured burst of intense lightning fell to the ground and split the place where they had gathered before. The shot coming from the cloud was like a huge laser that was very hot, the hunters turned to the direction where the laser fell. They looked very surprised and did not expect that the effects of the attack would be so severe. The land there is already divided into two parts with a ravine that has a gap of 10 meters as a separation of the land.

The roar was heard again from behind the thick clouds, Shenlong who wriggled occasionally showing his body and tail that weaved in the clouds like a snake in water.

"How do we attack him?!" Geraldo asked the captains.

"It's hard! he's too tall!" Kirisaki said while looking up.

The cloud turned black with lightning around it. An unexpected event after the cloud turned back black, the wind like it was raging uncontrollably. The city that was initially burned began to extinguish due to the rain that began to fall rapidly. The sound of thunder striking and lightning shining through the sky made the atmosphere inside the dungeon turn gripping. Plus Shenlong's terrifying roar from behind the clouds made their psychics being played with.

Hunters whose souls were exhausted began to show the effect of this atmospheric change, they were like people who had lost their minds by cowering in fear while holding their heads. Their bodies shivered in fear and also muttered like they were being feared by something.

"Help me. Help me, I'm afraid.please get rid of that cloud... The voice... Voice.... What is this?! Help me!" Murmured fear from a mage hunter while covering his ears.

This began to be done by several other hunters, captains and some of those who managed to survive the psychic attack was like confusion with what happened.

"What is this?! The sound?! What sounds do they mean?!" ask Lucero to be confused.

"Levi?!" Rudy turned to Levi to look for answers.

"This?! Didn't you hear it?! It was like there was a noise bothering them!" Levi said as he placed his hand behind his ear to hear the clarity of the sound.

"The sound?! I didn't hear anything!" Kan said while following what Levi did.

"Cap up on them! It's like an ability of the boss!"

After Levi suggested it, the surviving hunters helped them to cover their ears with robes or with their hands. It looks successful with the condition of the hunters who began to improve. But it didn't last long, they came back like people who lost their minds and screamed like they were tormented.

"What is this?! Why is it becoming?!" Joon Sung asked who was currently closing the ears of one of the hunters.

"Akk!!!!!" Shouted Geraldo and several other people who began to be exposed to the strange symptoms.

Rudy began to confuse in panic amid the hunters who looked in pain. Without thinking for a long time he immediately aimed his bow upwards to make an attack. The arrows were randomly released into the cloud. Rudy's arrow that shot quickly was able to reach the cloud and exhale it until scattered.

What was very surprising was seen by them when the very thick cloud began to disappear partly due to Rudy's arrow. The large head of Shenlong was being opened and pointed at them, it turned out that Shenlong was issuing a frequency wave capable of disrupting the human brain on a large scale. For the hunters who are already exhausted then the effect of the wave is very influential.

"Huh.huh....!!" Bosman hysterically saw the enormous size of Shenlong's head.

After the guise of himself was revealed by Rudy's arrow, Shenlong immediately covered his mouth and stopped the frequency wave. But what Shenlong did was the most deadly for those who did not know Shenlong's next move. He immediately opened his mouth again and changed the wave into a dense concentration of blue flames and made it look like a dazzling ball of light.

"Wine! Everyone dodge! She's gonna-"

Before Levi finished his words, a laser capable of splitting the land back Shnelong sent it to the hunters. The hunters who were still able to maneuver well managed to avoid the attack. But not with those who had already been exposed by the first wave of Shenlong, they were exposed to the blue flame attack and simply disappeared with the emergence of a new abyss.

Aamber, who was unconscious at the time, was also killed in the attack. The world has lost one of the greatest hunters ever. The survivors began to be overwhelmed with the number of those who were wiped out by half with just one strike. Julie coughed at the smoke caused by the Shenlong attack, in front of her was a hunter whose body had been cut off near a new ravine with wide-open eyes.

"Hiii" Surprised to see a dead body in front of him.

He was shocked to see the bodies as well as the remaining hunters. They all looked very desperate and exhausted, eyes that had no spirit flames were emanating from the hunters. Julie didn't expect that the situation would be this tragic. The remaining female hunters could only cry in fear and curl up while covering their faces. The captains had run out of sense to defeat the dungeon boss.

As Julie daydreamed, a blue light slowly shone on her body, "Julie!!!!!!!!" Shouted Watz from a distance.

Julie turned her head towards the light which was a follow-up attack from Shenlong, she could only be silent with a face that was shocked due to the attack that led to her. A flashback of him with Rado began to roll back in his memory. A memorable story for him was like the most beautiful gift as long as he lived his life as a hunter.

"Rado. maybe we haven't known each other for a long time, but-" The shocked look on his face turned into a sincere smile, "Maybe it's the end...." He began to shed tears.

"If I could see you again for the last time" Julie said.

"Goodbye.." Julie closed her eyes while waiting for death.

Just as Shenlong's attack was about to hit him, a man dressed in all black with two swords appeared in front of him and deflected Shenlong's attack with ease. Julie was so shocked by the sudden presence of the man, she was shocked for the umpteenth time but with a different feeling. After he deflected the attack, the man immediately turned to Julie with a warm smile.

"Hi. We meet again"

"Rado..." The tears from Julie turned into a smile of hope.
