108. Is this a boss you can beat? (One)
Reus looked at Arthur and Ethan once. The two held their breath and nodded.
Reus put his hand on the huge stone gate. The stone gate, which had been firmly closed as if it would never open, was slowly pushed back.
Beyond the barrier was an open space.
Numerous pillars were placed on both sides long like a temple. Each pillar was tall and magnificent like an obelisk.
And each pillar had an unknown letter written on it.
At the end of the pillar was a huge throne.
Sitting on the throne is a colossus.

Just looking at the sitting size, it reached about 15 meters, which made the viewer hold their breath at the intimidating feeling.

Just by looking at it, I felt as if I was meeting a great king. However, he was neither a god nor a king.
It’s just a huge sentinel guarding the dungeon.
“this… , This… ”
Arthur’s neck was bent from looking up at his opponent.
“It’s a Titan.”
Reus took a step and smiled. It was as if he was looking forward to the upcoming battle.
“Goddess, sing your anger—”
As Reus murmured lowly, he finished his armament. It was a completely different type of weapon from the ones I had used so far.
The strongest weapon that Hephaestus, the god of flames and volcanoes and the god of blacksmiths, forged in one night at Thetis’ request.
The spear that Peleus used, and the helmet, shield, and armor that Achilles himself used in the Trojan War.
That was Reus’s secret weapon.
[The goddess of the sea cheers for your armament.]
[The God of War is looking forward to your battle.]
[The blacksmith god is pleased with your weapon.]
Expectant messages from the gods poured in.
“Prepare for battle. Arthur and Ethan.”
Arthur was stunned by Reus’ weapon for a moment, then nodded. Soon, Arthur’s body was enveloped in gold.
With it, Arthur was able to don the same armor as Reus. It was a skill obtained from Majin Zagan, ‘Full Body Armor’.
“Funny. Arthur. Is that the number of your spleen?”
“uh? It’s not the number of spleens, but… .”
Arthur soon released his magic. Blue magic power wrapped around his body as if he was running out of control.
‘Golden magic is my secret weapon… .’
I didn’t want to show that magical power to Reus. Because I wasn’t in a deep enough relationship to trust him yet.
Arthur held the arcenian steel sword vertically on his chest. Reus and Edan were once enveloped in light.
‘The protection of the light―and the commander of the battlefield.’
‘Blessing of Light’ was a skill ball obtained from Atlan, and ‘Commander of the Battlefield’ was a skill obtained while catching Mine Bine.
Both had the effect of giving buffs to all party members.
My whole body was full of vitality.
[The goddess of the sea expresses doubts about Arthur’s skill.]
[The Goddess of Wisdom observes the situation with interest.]
[The god of war shines his eyes on the battle that will follow.]
The gods were also quite interested in Arthur. It was the first time they had ever seen someone using a skill like that.
[The most beautiful goddess asks you to ask what Ethan has.]
At that request, Reus was at a loss for words for a moment.
[The most beautiful goddess donated 1000 points.]
[The most beautiful goddess urges you.]
[The God of War is glaring at the most beautiful goddess.]
Reus sighed once and looked at Ethan. Like Arthur and himself, Ethan must have a full body armament skill.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“… … no.”
Answering that, Edan straightened the handle of the black blade and gripped it.
‘Anyway, they’re like the two biggest scammers in Dragon’s Strongest.’
Ethan sighed inwardly.
[The most beautiful goddess originally said that the strong are strong even without arms.]
[The most beautiful goddess cheers for Edan with her hands clasped.]
[The most beautiful goddess… ]
Reus ignored the goddess’ message.
If that’s the case, I don’t know why I’m sitting on Ethan’s channel.
Of course, Reus was well aware that there was no such thing as a ‘private channel’ for Edan.
Hard… .
The ground shook and the Colossus rose up. The colossus that rose up was bigger than Reus expected.
“Quaa.”
The colossus roared. Just with that roar, the tingling demonic energy shook the earth.
and.
The huge stone door slammed shut with a bang. Starting from the closing of the door, the reincarnated person, the protagonist, and the possessed person ran in their respective directions.
“Luntar—!”
Edan summoned Runthar to the front. With a loud explosion, Runthar appeared.
The explosion made the colossus hesitate.
However, only soot was engraved on the surface of the Colossus.
Runthar raced through the air following his master, sparking flames. Naturally, her black hair fluttered.
“Haa!”
Superintuition was talking. It’s going to be a tough fight.
In an instant, a great force flew in.
Ethan gritted his teeth and turned his body to the side. With a loud noise, the pillar behind me collapsed.
Even if it was a little late, the colossus’ kick might have crushed the bones of the whole body like that pillar.
The shattered debris collided with the pillar behind it.
Heavy dust rose. It was a devastating blow, but there was no room for me to remain stunned.
‘Linchester swordsmanship type 5, slashing’
Edan grabbed the sword and swung it with the same force as he was running. The black blade aimed at the giant god’s ankle.
[The Goddess of Wisdom is interested in Edan’s battle.]
Caang!
A metallic sound once crossed the vacant lot. However, even when the sword was struck, it only scratched the giant god’s ankle, but failed to cut it.
It was a blow imbued with blue magic. Even steel could be cut like tofu.
However, the blade could not cut through the giant. It just bounced off the recoil.
A huge shadow fell over Ethan.
bang!
My feet fell and dust rose. Arthur was startled and shouted Ethan’s name.
“Ethan-!”
Before he knew it, Edan was standing dozens of steps away from the colossus. It was immediately moved to Blink.
“Arthur! Focus on the battle!”
Arthur came to his senses and nodded. The colossus swung his arm. Arthur created a barrier in front.
A shockwave hit Arthur with a roar.
I opened the magic barrier, but Arthur was pushed back. The impact made his bones tingle.
“crazy. How do you hold this?”
The Colossus was running rampant as if it were not tired at all. It wasn’t a living creature, so there was nothing to get tired of.
Rather, it was Arthur who was getting tired as time went by. The colossus kicked and trampled the tent one after another.
bang! bang! Quaang-!
Cracks appeared in the translucent barrier. Arthur removed the barrier and threw himself to the side.
My feet fell by a narrow margin.
In the meantime, Reus released his blue magic power and threw out his spear. With the blow aimed at the heel, the mana force spread vigorously.
Until now, Ethan and Arthur had been gathering blows while diverting their attention.
Blue magic power swept through the giant god’s ankles and pierced the pillar. Several pillars were swept away by magic.
It was powerful enough to pierce several knights clad in plate armor.
The pillar fell and hit the pillar behind it. However, even that blow could not pierce the surface of the Colossus.
“f*ck… .”
Reus immediately opened up the distance in preparation for a counterattack. just as expected.
The colossus’ kick swept across the ground and hit Reus. It was like a human scavenging an insect.
It was so fast that it was unbelievable that the opponent was a huge body.
[The goddess of the sea weeps at your injuries.]
[The God of War drools as if worried.]
[The Goddess of Wisdom is observing the situation.]
Reus fell to the ground dozens of meters away. The moment the attack hit directly, the shield was blocked.
But the shock alone made my wrists ache.
“Reus!”
Arthur bit his molar. There was no choice but to release the golden magic.
‘But if this magic doesn’t work… ?’
I didn’t even want to think about it. Fear grew rapidly.
Of course, the more successful the attack, the more minor wounds on the surface of the Colossus.
Even in Arthur’s eyes, it was unlikely that the entirety of such a gigantic being could resist magic.
Perhaps, like the shell of a crustacean, if only the surface is pierced, then it can be dealt with somehow.
The problem is that it won’t be easy as the colossus’ surface is made of adamantium.
“Arthur, bear with it for now.”
As if having read Arthur’s actions, Ethan stopped them.
“uh? But, then what way is there? To defeat such a huge guy… .”
Instead of answering, Ethan laughed once. It was a smile as if he could see through the Colossus’ weakness.
“I will take care of him.”
A giant foot landed on them both. Arthur released magic over his head.
bang!
Power went into the hand holding the sword. The giant foot pounded the barrier again.
I couldn’t hold out for long with that ignorant force.
Ethan walked over to Arthur and put his hand on his shoulder. Soon, his vision shook and Arthur stood dozens of steps away.
“What number are you going to use?”
“Trust me and get my attention.”
“Is there a way?”
“yes.”
Arthur looked at Ethan’s nonchalant eyes and nodded.
“I’ll go. Hold on for a little while.”
“Where are you going? Will you hold out anyway?”
Ethan muttered something incomprehensible. It was as if they were saying their last goodbyes. Runthar looked at Edan and nodded.
“no way… , Ethan, you.”
“That guess is right.”
Edan released his magic once. The blue magic showed off itself. Looking back, Reus was frantically dealing with the giant god.
It was mainly a way to go around the circle around the Colossus and inflict small blows without losing consciousness.
“Kwoaa!”
The Colossus roared violently once. It seemed as if the medicine was right on Reus, who could not be caught at a glance.
“Linchester swordsmanship type 5, slash.”
Blue magic struck the pillar. Unlike the Colossus, the pillar collapsed easily.
tilt.
The tall pillars leaned. Ethan ran over the leaning pillar.
thud!
The pillar struck the body of the colossus. It was the guy who was bent over to grab Reus with his hands.
The Colossus grabbed the pillar that struck him with both hands and threw it away.
“Kwoaa!”
While the opponent roared, Edan moved from the spine to the shoulder of the Colossus, and soon reached the neck.
Ethan seemed to lose his balance, but he didn’t. It seemed like it would fall, but it didn’t fall.
The colossus roared again.
Ethan did not miss that moment. In an instant, Blink burrowed into the mouth of the colossus.
Even seeing what was happening, Arthur couldn’t believe it. Even Reus was stunned.
The colossus’ roar stopped.
The huge mouth closed. As if nothing had happened, the colossus turned his gaze and glared at Arthur and Reus.
“I swallowed Ethan… ?”
The opponent seemed to have swallowed Edan as it was. A suffocating silence came.
[The goddess of wisdom smiles at Ethan.]
In that stillness, only the goddess of wisdom was smiling.
