With a single swing of his fist, the king sent Haruki as well as Kane crashing against the dungeon walls. Their bodies burning from the flaming fist, had them both groan out loud in agony, but healing them from a safe distance with a spell, the queen of goblins helped them get back onto their feet.
Still baffled as to why a monster was aiding humans, Haruki gave her a questioning gaze, however as he saw the king about to swing his fiery fist at her, he jumped over to her through a portal to get her out of the way instead. His hands clenched tightly around her body, made him feel a bit strange.
Having expected her to be firmer as a monster, he was quite surprised by her fluffy skin.
"What happened?" She asked as soon as Haruki let go of her. "How did you-"
"I teleported us, now shut up and fight if you're helping us," feeling a burning sensation behind him, Haruki was once again ready to teleport away, but before he could do so, Kane threw his Gollum-like body against the king's swinging fist to redirecting the attack from the two.
From behind, Haruki heard a loud crashing sound as the king almost fell down. Turning to Kane, he was given a smile by him.
"You're teaching me that teleportation skill after this," he said, his fist still pointed in the direction of the kneeling king.
"Yeah, as long as we make it out of here alive," already having some plans for Kane, Haruki had decided to give up on holding back against the king. "Emperor of void: Blade of Darkness!"
For a moment Kane eyed Arnold for the use of the peculiar skill, yet with a glaring threat to their lives getting back on its feet, he didn't waste too much time trying to decipher what the skill entailed.
"Earthly warrior!" Using his own skill, Kane sprang forth a giant blade from the rocks that covered his body.
"You bastards…" Glaring down at the two, the king ignored the projectile attacks from fake Rose and the guards. "How dare you disturb my sleep, how dare you go against me? Can't you see that I am stronger than you all? JUST SUBMIT, YOU FOOLS!"
Standing unfazed under the burning giant, Haruki glanced at Kane to signal their attack. Nodding their heads at each other, both of them charged recklessly toward the king from opposing directions.
"YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE!" Stomping his feet recklessly, the king sent waves of flames spreading outward.
The tremors alone were enough to make the two tumble, but just in time before the flames could reach their bodies, both of them took a leap toward the walls to get away from the fire. For the brief moment their bodies were stuck to the walls, they shared yet another glance before jumping towards the king's body.
'All I have to do is stab him with this blade and it'll suck up all the energy from his body.' Drawing his hands over his head, Haruki had his eyes locked right over the king's shoulders. Right as he was about to stab the king with the blade, his eyes met the king's, and in his eyes was a cheekish emotion. 'Fuck!'
Since the king couldn't possibly stop them both, he flung his fist at Haruki and swatted him like a fly. Crashing onto the wall, his body crumbled up from the impact. Slowly as he swept down the walls, he noticed Kane still fighting the king, and Asuka and the rest making their way over to him.
"Assist him! I can take care of myself!" A bit annoyed, he didn't hold back while showing his frustration. "Rejuvenation!"
Stopping in their tracks, all three of his servants were a bit shocked by his tone, however, they couldn't let themselves be too distracted by it at the moment. Turning their attention to Kane they began showering the king with attacks of their own.
It didn't take long for Kane to be shot off either, the king, although much slower than them to respond, had a vitality that was matched by none around him at the moment.
"This will take too long like this," clutching the blade once again, Haruki teleported right over the king's head.
Landing on his head, he held his hand down on his skull before inflicting curses on him.
"Plague demon!" Shooting from his hand, a magic circle of curses, surrounded the minotaur king's body. "Body disfiguration!"
Forcing the king down on his knees by breaking his legs joints, Haruki glared at everyone as a warning before activating the last skill.
'Just a bit more time!' The flames on the king were burning Haruki alive, and thus fearing the action of his escapist skill, he wanted it to be done before it teleported him away from danger. 'You better work!'
Closing his eyes, he defended himself against the king's blows with a magic shield bubbled around him. Concentrating solely on the summoning, he surged all of his mana into the summoning circle right under his palm.
"God tier familiar: Void Eater!" As a mist of dark clouds emerging from Haruki's hands encompassed the magic circle, a burst of energy coming from his hand jerked away from the king.
'Did it work?!' Stopping himself in mid-air, he looked back over to the king's head. Emerging from a mist of clouds, were a pair of giant claws along with wide razor teeth with blood dripping down from them.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!" Screeched the king right as the claws grabbed onto his horns and tore them off of his head by pulling them in opposing directions. "AGHHH! WHA-WHAT IS THIS THING?!"
His eyes shot with blood, the king glared at Haruki before rushing in his direction, however, in his path as he moved, the dark cloud followed right over him. Drawing its claws far apart, the creature of darkness dug into the king's skull and tore it off as well.
"Fucking hell…" Haruki heard someone mumbling as the king's headless body walked a few steps closer and thrashed lifelessly on the ground.
"KAKAKAKAKA!" Cackling like a maniac, a pair of dangling eyes popped out of the creature's cloud. "Who next?"
Those words reminded Haruki exactly why he didn't want to resort to using that familiar of his.
"We need to get out of this dungeon…" Turning around to the rest of the group, he took a deep breath and yelled. "We need to get out now!"
Watching him being hysterical, everyone just stared at him for a moment, that is, until, the creature of dark picked up the king's body and made a bloody mess chomping down on his carcass.
