The Last Human Returns.
Chapter 22 - Raid Boss!

The entire Hunter in America, gathered in front of the Tower in California. They were initially very optimistic. Not only 5 Hunter Rank S will be coming along. A Mysterious Hunter that appeared suddenly with an unreasonable power took part in the Raid.

However, that sense of optimism was dashed when they saw the Monster before them. A snake with blue scales stared at the Hunters with a hungry expression.

"Mo– Monster is very different from Goblin and Orc."

"How do I beat him?"

Low Rank Hunter morale started to drop. The high Rank Hunter was also nervous. However, fortunately they did not get to the level of skepticism or hesitation.

The snake that was already hungry, shouted out in a loud voice. "Kieeeek!"

[Debuff hit. Stamina and Dexterity status reduced by 10%.]

"Ughs. My body is getting heavy!"

"Hah .. I even have trouble breathing."

"My ears are about to break."

Everyone experiences debuff effects. Erica is immune to mental attacks, giving a buff to Jun who will become the Main Tank.

The snake did not wait until the Hunter began to recover. He with his mouth wide open, intending to swallow everything whole.

Jun who had recovered early due to Erica's help, pulled agro. "!"

The big snake switched lanes and started targeting Jun.

Jun's face became stiff. There was no way he could resist if he was to be swallowed alive.

"!" Silvia who recovered after Jun, immediately cast a spell that created a wall of fire between Jun and the Snake.

"Kieeek!" The snake roared as the heat of the fire stung its skin.

A slash! A slash!

Two flashes of light appeared simultaneously in a very short time. Li Mei who had been inexplicably since being at the back of the large Snake's body, attacked the same point continuously causing the snake's skin to break apart.

"Kieee!" The snake roared with excruciating pain.

The serpent in pain started wagging its tail to get rid of the little creature that was trying to harm him.

"!"

"!"

"!"

Hunter witches started attacking with their magic. Meanwhile, Nina was in charge of giving the big Snake a debuff.

"Kieeek!" The snake roared furiously. He was aiming towards the witches this time.

"Tanks! Hold it! Don't let the snake attack the witch!" Jun the leader of the Tank role shouted.

"Well! Sure did! We are, the fortress of life!"

"I chose death over this snake!"

Not only the Tanks, the physical Damage Dealt also began to move.

"Everyone, attack with your best skills and immediately retreat!" Arya shouted leading another Damage Dealt to advance.

"""okay!"""

Bam!

The snake smashed into the iron wall made from the Tank Hunters.

Bam!

The tanks were pushed back. Some even broke bones due to the impact.

"Ughh! Is that snake actually a real Tank!?"

"Replace position! Those injured retreated to be healed first!"

The fight continues. They continued to do the same tactic making the Snake become annoyed.

The snake took a deep breath until its throat turned into that of a frog.

Seeing that, not just the Trouble Guild members, everyone who played the game knew about the attack.

"Everybody back! Back off!"

"The AoE attack is coming! Back off!"

In a hurry, they all retreated. However, before the snake could fire a breath, an arrow coated with lightning pierced through the snake's throat.

"!?" The snake was shocked by the pain. As a result, the breath with the corrosive poison becomes unguided and only splattered.

Seeing that, another Hunter heaved a sigh of relief. They tried once more to advance before they stopped as two concentrated black clouds clumped over the California sky.

Gordon had already finished preparing the same skill when Raid Gate Collapse back then. The overwhelming concentration of Mana made the witches even embarrassed and tremble.

Bzzt– Bam!

A flash of lightning light that was like a spear pierced right above the blue snake's head and tore off its beautiful blue scales.

Then, a second attack came from the sky once more. This time it's not Gordon, it's Silvia.

"."

Bzz!

The golden lightning descended at an incredible speed. Without a loud rumbling sound like Gordon's attack, the golden lightning actually struck fixed at the same point as where Gordon was attacking him. As a result, it was a wound that was so fatal that it was impossible to for long anymore.

"Low Rank Hunter! Quickly attack the snake!"

""Good!""

The low rank Hunter attacked the already dying snake. Before it was finally ended by one of America's Rank A, Joseph Smith.

[You level up.]

[You level up.]

[You–]

Pop up the level rise appeared before all the Hunters without exception.

"Oh! We win! We're alive!"

"This is America!"

"Haha! Feel that you bastard!"

Enthusiasm broken. Everyone was really happy with their victory. Some of them even cried.

Trouble Guild members were no exception. They gathered together and laughed with each other.

"Huh .. that's pretty exhausting."

"Haha. Fighting to protect more people is very difficult."

Gordon approached the Trouble Guild members. "good job. Thank you for your help."

Jun who was the most tired of all, only replied with a nod and a tired smile. "Yes. Thanks to you too, Gordon."

Just then, some unknown people started to try to get close.

"Are you from the Trouble Guild or something? You guys have pretty good skills."

"Erica, right? What if we exchange phone numbers? Then, we can spend the night with–"

Some men try to tease the girls. However, once Erica was seduced, the murderous lust made everyone freeze. The Trouble Guild members unsheathed their weapons towards the man who was trying to tease Erica. Not only were the Trouble Guild members, even Gordon showed extremely intense hostility.

"We have no intention of getting on good terms with you. So, more out of this place." Kiaa warned them with a threatening tone.

"Whatchu mean? Only a Guild from a small Country–"

A slash!

Michael's sword cut off a few strands of the man's hair trying to spit out nonsense.

"There is no second chance. Another leg, your ear will come off."

"Hey. That's not guest–'s way"

"Can you shut up? Your smelly mouth bothers my precious guest. If you don't have the ability, at least have the shame." Gordon broke up before Michael completely slashed the ear of the man who tried to speak again.

The man whose ears were almost gone turned pale. It was only a few more millimeters before Michael's sword reached the man's ears.

"Sad. People who live in backward countries, do not know manners."

"Huh. If it wasn't for Gordon–"

They began to go one by one while grumbling making silly excuses to cover up their fear and shame.

"Does everyone in America have a chimp-like brain?" Nina sneered with a vexed expression.

Gordon as an American, just smiled bitterly at Nina's sneer. "Not everything. They're just people who fail and just happen to get good when the System comes along."

Nina frowned. "Like the protagonist in Manga? They're really full of themselves."

Gordon just smiled bitterly. Not wanting to extend the topic, he tried to change it. "If so, what if we go back to the hotel? I thought you guys were gonna be tired."

"That sounds good. I want to take a shower." Hu Tao looks very happy.

Nina was surprised by Hu Tao's sudden presence. "Hey, where have you been?"

"Hm? I fought other Monsters like Goblins and Orcs trying to get close to~"

Nina widened her eyes. "on your own? Since when have you become so strong?"

"... That's because I hate Orcs so much. Rather than me fighting the snake, I would rather slaughter the Orcs." Hu Tao looked extremely frightening when he had a grudge against something. Nina swore she would not make Hu Tao take revenge against her.
