Chapter 313 An Absolute Monstrosity
The Otherworlders sat.
They discussed amongst one another, enjoying the moment of peace that served as their solace.
Even the initially grumpy Justin joined in on the fun, and a cheery atmosphere pervaded the contrasting representation of the Dungeon.
All was well.
Until…
"EVERYONE DOWN!"
The roar from Adonis caused all the Otherworlders to freeze in panic, rather than listen to the words of their leaders.
This could have been due to the suddenness of his scream, or the fact that they weren't in the proper mental space to take orders.
However, the more likely reason was a third option.
… The fact that they all felt a pressure so heavy that none of them could move a single inch.
~BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!~
The double door that led to the Boss Room was eviscerated in an instant, and a deep blue surge of energy burst out of the entrance.
It devastated everything that surrounded it and rushed towards the Otherworlders.
~FWOOSH!~
The Grand Elementals instantly rushed to the forefront of the seated nine, their massive forms blocking them from inevitable death.
The result of this action was fatal.
… All four of them disintegrated the moment the blast reached them.
None was able to withstand its power.
They could not resist.
The protectors all perished with that single blast, yet the misfortune was yet to be satisfied.
The roaring blast still charged at the Otherworlders with just as great an intensity as when it first manifested.
Surely, the end had come.
"[Absolute Defense]!"
A barrier of golden light suddenly covered the Otherworlders, shielding them from the immense radiation of ultimate destruction.
The result was as one would expect.
~BOOOOOOOM!~
The ground shook, and the ceiling trembled. Everything around them vibrated as the golden field protected the nine from the deep blue blast.
However—
~CRACK~
—Even [Absolute Defense] began to show cracks in its sturdy walls.
"N-no way!" Adonis gasped, his eyes widening in disbelief.
No matter how strong a Monster in the Royal Dungeon was, none of them had ever managed to crack his ultimate means of defense.
Yet… YET…!
~FSHIIIIIII…~
Fortunately, the bursting noise of destruction soon became nothing but fading echoes of dissipating heat.
The intense blue energy thinned out, leaving particles of light dancing in the air, and smoke wafting all around.
The charred earth and collapsed ceiling filled the sight of the Otherworlders and Familiar, causing all of them to tremble in awe.
… And FEAR!
Whatever had caused this level of destruction was no mere creature.
~DUM!~
~DUM!~
~DUM!~
Tremors rose from the ground as something began to appear from within the forbidden palace.
Its silhouette was majestic, having a figure of about twenty five meters. Five blue eyes glowed from the creature's head, and almost as soon as it made itself known, the thick smoke began to clear.
An intense storm of winds replaced any hindrance to the sight.
As a result, the creature's true form was bare for all to witness.
"N-no way…!"
"Why does it look like… that?"
"T-this is the Boss…?!"
It had a glorious build that resembled a massive lizard—or more like an argentinosaurus, the biggest land dinosaur to be discovered on Earth.
If only it bore resemblance to such a creature and nothing else, then perhaps it wouldn't have been such a frightening thing to see.
Unfortunately, there was more to the Monster than just that.
It had massive crystal-like substances, akin to heavy spikes, protruding out of its scaly body. It had gleaming black skin, though vein-like cracks decorated its humongous body like a tattoo.
It seemed to be bursting with so much power, to the point where the very ground it trod began to grow smaller versions of the stones on its body.
"A-are those… Mana Crystals?!"
"Mana Crystals are growing all over its body!"
"Even on the ground! T-that means…!"
No one needed to say the obvious, but perhaps they all began to blurt out words like these because they didn't want it to be true.
They wanted someone to correct them.
But no one did.
All their observations this far were spot on.
This beast was one unlike any other, but it was a Monster.
Only Monsters would have so much power, yet lack the intelligence to control their Mana to prevent it from leaking out so much.
None could have expected to find such an existence here, but they were now confronted with it.
"Huuu…" Smoke leaked from its mouth as its long neck coiled backwards.
Its five eyes stared at the little ones who had yet to die from its blast of destruction. Only one thing came to the creature's mind once he saw this.
~BWUUUUUSSSHHH!~
It began to gather a phenomenal amount of Mana from its belly, evident by how it's stomach glowed intensely, followed by the radiation that flowed through its incredibly long neck.
The Otherworlders already knew what was coming.
They were neither fast nor capable enough to evade it, and the only hope they had to protect themselves was already cracked.
Their safety hung by a thread.
~BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!~
The second ray of destruction poured out, this time a lot less powerful than before.
However, its incredible pressure was enough to tell Adonis, who now poured more Mana into his barrier, that his protection could only do so much.
After all… this thing had long transcended the limits of any Dungeon Monster, or any Monster to be discovered, period!
Due to its evolution, it broke through the Grand barrier of A-Tier and reached the Absolute Realm.
As impossible as it was to admit, Adonis could no longer deny the truth that stared him in the face.
"I-It's an S-Tier Monster!"
