Last Shelter Online

Chapter 25



[HP 2,301/7,825]

Hiro promptly downed several Health Potions to restore his HP.

Lucifer’s greatsword was truly terrifying. Even though it didn’t directly touch him, it still managed to suck over 70% of his total HP.

‘Damn it!’ Hiro made a mental note to be more careful. If that greatsword actually struck him…

“My blood-craving greatsword whispered, it likes the taste of your blood.”

Hiro ignored the fallen angel’s remark. He knew that his opponent was only trying to crush his fighting spirit.

Whoosh!

Hiro continued to attack Lucifer with his greatsword. However, just a second before his blade struck, the fallen angel vanished yet again.

Seeing this, Hiro swiftly swung his greatsword in the opposite direction. As expected, at that moment, Lucifer reappeared right next to him to counterattack.

His greatsword struck Lucifer’s chest before the fallen angel could react.

SLASH!

[Fatal Damage]

[HP -10,000]

Lucifer’s black and somewhat thick blood smeared Hiro’s blade and splattered onto the wall. The fallen angel seemed incredulous for a moment, but he immediately vanished without attacking.

Despite the boss not having a shred of defense due to his weakened status, the damage he could inflict was far too overwhelming. Fortunately, Hiro was ready.

After a moment, Lucifer dashed at him to attack. He only reappeared right before he swung his greatsword, but Hiro still managed to dodge to the side on time.

The injury on Lucifer’s chest horrifyingly gaped even wider, causing thick black blood to cover his body and his movements to slow down even more.

“It’s over, buddy.”

Lucifer violently coughed out black blood from his mouth and nose.

“What…”

‘What the hell is wrong with my body?’

The fallen angel was bewildered by his body’s strange reaction.

Whoosh!

Hiro dashed forward right as Lucifer was wiping the blood off his nose and mouth. The fallen angel was so disoriented by what was happening with his body that he didn’t expect Hiro to advance with his greatsword aimed at his neck.

“You’re just too weak, brother!”

SPLAT!!

[Fatal Damage]

[Lucifer’s HP has decreased significantly.]

[HP 0/35,000]

Hiro chuckled after he successfully beheaded the fallen angel. With just one strike, Lucifer’s HP instantly went down to zero.

He still couldn’t believe that defeating the boss would be so easy thanks to the boss’s defense being impaired by the [Weakened] status. Moreover, the bonus basic stats from the Swish Swish Potion and the greatsword blessed with the holy attribute really helped him.

“If I were a hero in a MOBA game, they definitely would’ve nerfed me in the next update. Tsk tsk tsk.”

But even after he waited for a while, nothing happened.

No special notifications appeared.

Cough! Cough!

The violent coughs behind him made Hiro turn around to check.

Lucifer.

After Hiro was lulled by his temporary victory and averted his gaze, the fallen angel’s severed head had reattached itself to his body. A shiny black rune seal that previously wasn’t there was now on Lucifer’s neck. At a glance, it looked like a steel choker perfectly stuck on his neck, connecting the part that was previously severed by Hiro’s blade.

Hiro’s eyes widened in shock. Without waiting another moment, he hurriedly raised his greatsword once again to face the revived fallen angel.

However, before he could do anything, Lucifer’s body began to move abnormally. His entire body intensely convulsed and his eyeballs frighteningly rolled back, hiding his irises.

Hiro vigilantly took a few steps back.

All of a sudden, the fallen angel’s body exploded with a deafening sound.

BOOM!

Hiro shielded his face from the rain of black blood that filled the boss room. Nothing was left of Lucifer’s body, but before he could feel any relief, the splattered blood clotted, moved, and merged to form a clump of blood slime that continued to grow in size.

As if trying to create a new form, the five-meter unknown creature kept squirming in place. A pair of broken wings suddenly grew from the blood mud, but that was not all.

It kept moving vertically to form a new body.

The clump of blood evolved into a terrifying monster with a pair of broken wings on its back. Its head was shaped akin to an oval with two long curved horns on its creased forehead. Its arms were full of thick muscle mass and veins were protruding under its imperfect, seemingly premature skin.

Lucifer’s greatsword on the ground nearby slowly moved and flew toward its owner. As if it knew what happened to its master, its form also began to change, almost doubling in size.

Ding!

[Lucifer has transformed to its true form.]

[Boss: Lucifer the Demon King (Level Undefined) (Weakened)]

[Race: Absolute Demon]

Hiro gulped when he saw the notifications that just appeared. The fight was not over.

He underestimated the dungeon boss too much.

In its current form, Hiro estimated that his chance of victory was no more than 50% if he were to get hit.

‘I have to win no matter what.’

Whoosh!

Hiro dashed forward to attack the absolute demon with his greatsword, but the demon didn’t move. The tip of its blade firmly stayed on the ground while its two large hands rested on the end of the hilt.

SLASH!

One! Two! Three!

Hiro utilized all his attack speed to slash and tear the demon’s enormous body from every possible direction. However, his attacks only managed to scratch the skinless figure. Not only that, but even those meager scratches quickly healed and returned to normal.

‘It’s useless.’

Hiro jumped backward to think of a new strategy.

‘Think, Hiro, think!’

“Ah!”

Hiro quickly ran toward Lucifer after activating his Sword Combo Skill. Even as he obviously charged at it from the front, the demon didn’t move the slightest, towering with its greatsword ready to welcome him anytime.

CLANK!

The two greatswords clashed. At that moment, Hiro jumped high and spun his body before using Lucifer’s hand on the hilt as a foothold, its size making it easier.

Thud!

Hiro successfully executed his plan. Thanks to his light body and long legs, he managed to jump over the terrifying but slow monster and arrive behind it in one beautiful leap.

A perfect landing.

With all his strength, Hiro mercilessly slashed his greatsword at Lucifer’s back.

SPLAT! [5x Critical Hit Combo]

SPLAT! [6x Critical Hit Combo]

SPLAT! [7x Critical Hit Combo]

SPLAT! [8x Critical Hit Combo]

SPLAT! [9x Critical Hit Combo]

SPLAT! [10x Critical Hit Combo]

His last slash managed to cut the demon’s two broken wings in one strike, causing thick black blood to gush out at Hiro’s face, which already had black blood left from the previous splatters.

GROAAH!!

The monster roared in pain and fury. The creature was incredibly slow. Furthermore, despite its intimidating body, it had absolutely no defense.

If it weren’t for the [Weakened] status, Hiro was sure that he wouldn’t be able to defeat it with his current abilities.

But thanks to those seven high priests…

A chance like this doesn’t come twice. There was no way Hiro was going to waste it.

Whoosh!

Hiro jumped backward, stopping his combo right as the demon swung his greatsword at his head.

Perfect timing.

When Lucifer’s blade failed to strike him and was still on the other side, Hiro immediately swung his greatsword at the monster’s stomach with all his strength to counterattack.

SPLAT!! [Fatal Damage]

This time, Hiro managed to create a gaping hole in the monster’s stomach.

Its intestines disgustingly spilled out, and the monster heavily fell like a giant troll.

The absolute demon didn’t have a chance to beat him up due to the strange condition of his body.

Having finally been defeated, the terrifying-looking creature reverted to its human form. However, before he completely stopped moving, Lucifer said his final words.

“I don’t want to die without my armor. This is an insult. I will find you.”

Ding!

[Congratulations: NightFall has successfully completed the NFQ [Cursed Underworld].]

Ding!

[Something unusual happens]

[Where do we go when we die?]

Whomp! Whomp! Whomp!

Hiro was confused by the notifications that just popped out. But later, a shining object emitted a bright light suprised him.

It was the greatsword that belonged to Lucifer.

Gradually, the light on that greatsword became more concentrated before its monstrous size was shrinking back into its initial size when Lucifer used it in his humanoid form.

The greatsword slowly spun and flew as it approached Hiro calmly.

At that moment, he finally realized what was going to happen.

He stretched out his empty hands as if he was ready to receive an important award.

And after the greatsword finally reached him, Hiro broke into a satisfied smile.

“It’s finally my time.”

Ding!
