Chapter 552 123.7 - Rank-6 Dungeon
The Snow Yeti came crashing down with a thunderous impact, sending shockwaves through the frozen ground as its massive feet slammed into the ice. The team staggered, barely able to keep their footing as the sheer force of the landing rattled their defenses.
Astron's eyes flicked to the creature, immediately recognizing the difference in power. This Yeti wasn't just a mid-rank six monster as they had expected—it was far stronger.
The air around it seemed to vibrate with an oppressive mana, and its glowing blue eyes bore into them with a primal rage. Its fur, thick and white, was lined with jagged ice that shimmered under the faint light, and its breath came out in visible clouds, freezing the air around it.
"Stay sharp!" Astron barked, his voice cutting through the chaos. "This is no ordinary boss—it's peak rank-6. We need to be careful!"
The Yeti wasted no time. With a deafening roar, it lunged forward, its claws swiping at Kurt and Gareth, who were positioned at the front. Kurt raised his shield, bracing himself as the massive creature's claws collided with it, sending him skidding back several feet despite his best efforts to hold his ground.
"Damn, that thing's strong!" Kurt grunted, struggling to keep the Yeti's overwhelming force at bay.
Gareth, his face set in concentration, summoned his barriers to reinforce Kurt's defense, but even the magical protection wasn't enough. The Yeti's claws tore through the barrier, shattering it with ease. Gareth cursed under his breath, realizing the extent of the challenge they were facing.
"Fall back!" Astron shouted. "We can't take it head-on!"
Kurt and Gareth quickly retreated, giving the Yeti space as it swung its claws again, narrowly missing them but gouging deep furrows into the icy ground. Elena was already in motion, her staff glowing brightly as she unleashed a powerful fire spell, aiming directly at the Yeti's chest.
The flames roared toward the creature, and for a moment, it looked like the fire would engulf it. But the Yeti's fur, layered with ice, seemed to absorb the heat. The flames dimmed, barely scorching the surface before they fizzled out. The Yeti snarled, its cold eyes locking onto Elena.
"That didn't work as well as I'd hoped," Elena muttered, backing up quickly as the Yeti charged at her.
Before it could reach her, Dorian darted in, his twin blades flashing as he struck at the creature's side. His blades, sharp and precise, barely cut through the Yeti's thick fur, leaving shallow gashes that the creature hardly seemed to notice.
"Damn it," Dorian hissed, leaping back just as the Yeti swung its massive arm toward him, the force of the blow sending shards of ice scattering through the air.
Lila, positioned behind the main group, directed her golem to engage the Yeti. The massive stone construct lunged at the beast, grappling with it in an attempt to hold it back. For a brief moment, it looked like the golem might slow the Yeti down, but the monster was too strong. With a mighty roar, the Yeti grabbed the golem and hurled it across the battlefield, the stone figure crashing into the ice with a resounding thud.
"This thing is too strong!" Lila shouted, her eyes wide with shock as her golem struggled to stand. "It's shrugging off everything we throw at it!"
As he issued the minimal orders, Astron darted back into the fray, testing the Yeti's defenses with another series of rapid strikes. The creature roared in frustration, swinging its ice club at him with renewed fury, but Astron was ready. He dodged, ducking under its arm and delivering a precise strike to the back of its knee, aiming for the joints where the fur was thinner.
The Yeti staggered, but it quickly recovered, turning its attention back to the rest of the team. Elena, following Astron's advice, unleashed a well-timed fire spell just as the Yeti roared, her flames crashing into the creature's chest and weakening its defenses for a brief moment.
Gareth, his barriers reinforced, moved to cover Kurt, allowing the tank to focus on blocking the Yeti's physical attacks. With Gareth's support, Kurt managed to hold his ground, even as the Yeti's claws slammed into his shield again and again.
Dorian, seeing an opening, darted forward, his twin blades flashing as he aimed for the creature's exposed side. He struck with precision, his blades digging into the Yeti's flesh just as Lila's golem tackled the creature from the other side, briefly pinning it down.
Astron watched carefully, analyzing the battle as it unfolded. The team was adapting, pushing themselves despite the overwhelming odds. They were working together, finding ways to counter the Yeti's magic and physical strength.
But it wasn't over yet. The Yeti, enraged by the combined assault, let out a final, ear-splitting roar, summoning a massive blizzard that swirled around them, cutting off visibility and pelting them with shards of ice.
Astron narrowed his eyes, feeling the cold bite into his skin. 'This is the final push.'
With a swift movement, he activated the full power of the Serpent Fangs, his daggers glowing with venomous energy as he rushed forward. The Yeti, blinded by its own rage, didn't see him coming. He leaped onto its back, driving his daggers deep into its flesh, right between the shoulders.
The venom surged through the creature's body, spreading quickly and paralyzing it. The Yeti let out a final, pained roar as its movements slowed, its body freezing in place as the venom took hold.
"Now. Elena!"
「Fire Grasp.」
At his command, Elena unleashed her most powerful fire spell, the flames engulfing the Yeti's weakened form.
Elena's fire spell, 「Fire Grasp」, ignited beneath the Yeti, fiery claws rising from the icy ground and wrapping around the creature's massive form.
The flames weren't meant to burn away its flesh but to corrode the remaining defenses, weakening the thick layers of fur and ice that shielded the Yeti from their attacks.
'Slowly.'
Astron was also made aware of this when he asked about Elena's spells.
That was why he was ready to deliver the final blow to the creature itself.
