Bawl takes off his sweater for a bit, which reveals that the straps aren't connected to his jacket anymore but to his pants. He stretches a little and then puts his jacket back on. He attacks the giant stone ants that are now invading the hall. Bawl, Eonni, and Alexander manage to finish off all the monsters in that current section of the hall.

  “Finally. You, okay?” Eonni asks Bawl.

  “Yes.”

  “Call me big sis.”

  “No.”

  Alexander accidentally steps on a bug's head and his face turns into that of disgust and fear.

  “EWWW!” He jumps back and climbs onto a wall. Both Bawl and Eonni look towards him, Bawl is confused by his reaction and Eonni thinks he’s being weird. Alexander notices them and jumps back down; he brushes the dust off and clears his throat.

  “Worry not about that...scene. Let's move forward!” He says while pointing his sword in the air and walking down the hall. Bawl follows behind and Eonni follows Bawl.

  From the outside, the dungeon, a man stands outside, He has a curvaceous body, platinum blonde hair, rainbow eyes, and pale skin. He wears a black suit with dress shoes and wears 2 dagger earrings on each ear that have a red gem in the middle.

  “An unregistered gate. I’ll have to deal with this.” The man walks in and sees the dust and stone pieces of the bug that the trio destroyed.

  “Oh. It seems another raider is here already. Although, I’ll still need to see the treasure and examine it.”

  The trio is effortlessly cutting through the stages the dungeon puts in their way, and they reach a big door with a giant spider emblem.

  “This must be the final boss. This will be easy.” Alexander says.

  “You sure? It’s a boss room. I heard they’re extremely hard to beat. And I’m not a raider so I don’t have any experience.” Eonni says.

  “Neither do I. But who cares.”

  “Not me,” Bawl says.

  “Exactly, so let's kill this thing!”

  Alexander tries to open the large door but fails no matter how hard he pushes.

  “Help me out here, why don’t you.” Bawl gives a thumbs up and walks to the door. He pushes the door open effortlessly.

  “Wow, seems you got some impressive strength, be my squire.”

  “Okay.”

  “Forward we go.” Both Bawl and Alexander enter the room, with Eonni following behind.

  “What is wrong with these 2? This guy is still a 5-year-old and Bawl’s going along with it. Why?”

  They all enter the large room and are greeted with a weird stone statue sitting on a throne, it looks like an ant, but it has a humanoid-like body as well as aspects from other insects like beetle armors, wasp antennas, and a strange core at its center.

  The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

  “The hell is that. Looks like a mix of different insects.” Eonni says while trying to get a good look at the boss.

  The door behind the trio closes and the status starts cracking. It reveals an organic creature that looks just like its statue self underneath.

  “Wow, so no stone this time, it’s an organic creature,” Alexander says getting his Turbo Sword ready, Eonni gets her saws ready and Bawl stands there, getting ready for battle.

  The monster finally frees itself from the stone and stretches for a bit before looking towards the trio, observing them, their looks, and the equipment.

  “You choose to challenge me, despite your weakness?”

  “Weakness? Hm, typical villains, always underestimating the heroes.”

  The monster remains silent for a short while before an immense aura is released in the vicinity of the monster. The three of them feel immense pressure and the gravity of the area seems to get heavier.

  “The hell!” Alexander thought.

  “We’re not making it out!” Eonni thought, on the ground, trying to keep herself up.

  “...” Bawl didn’t think anything, managing to keep himself on his feet.

  The pressure suddenly stops, “Not bad, here I thought you would pass out or die. It’s good that you’ll be pleasant toys to play with.”

  “What are you, 5?” The monster seemingly disappears and punches Alexander in the face, sending him back and hitting against the wall.

  “Yes.” the monster replies

  The boss starts to morph, tentacles start coming out of its back and attacks the other 2.

  Bawl dodges the attack and Eonni cuts the tentacles with her saws.

  “Interesting, fist and blade, a unique combo balance for those with weakness.”

  The boss pulls on the strap and swings Eonni towards Bawl. He dodges Eonni and jumps towards the monster and they exchange in a battle of hand-to-hand combat. Bawl blocks the attacks of the boss, but the boss blocks all attacks of Bawl, they are both at a stalemate.

  The boss morphs its arm into a bigger more grotesque arm and tries to punch him.

  Unfortunately for the monster, its arm is cut off by Alexander, “Did you forget about me, monster.”

  The monster looks at him before regenerating its arm. It tries punching Alexander, but he uses the Turbo Shield to try and reflect that attack, however, the attack isn’t reflected.

  “The hell! He must be strong enough to resist the reflection!”

  Alexander is pushed; however, he remains on his feet and jumps toward the monster. The monster prepares to attack him while he's in the air, but it is struck on his waist.

  “WHAT!” It turns out that it’s Bawl who struck him from behind. It tries to attack Bawl, but a strap is wrapped around its arm and the arm is pulled back, revealing Eonni had committed to that.

  “DIE BASTARD!” He manages to cut the monster in half, but this victory appears to be hollow as the monster puts itself back together.

  “WHAT?” Alexander and Eonni thought.

  “How the hell can we beat this thing if it can regenerate from something like that!”

  The boss roars, sending all three of them back. “You damned bastards, to think weaklings like you managed to catch me off guard. I’ll admit, you got lucky, I guess I shouldn't hold back as much now should I.”

  “Hold back?” Alexander questions.

  The boss seemingly increases in size a little and its muscles become more visible, it now has sharp claws with tentacles, and an extra set of arms.

  “Whoa.” Bawl thinks while eating a Black and White cookie.

  “The hell? Did it...become a bit hotter?” Eonni thinks while whipping a little sweat off her face.

  The monster stands in between all three of them, how much stronger and oozing of murderous intent. All three of them now understand that the situation has gotten much more serious.

  “Let's see who will die first!”
