Chapter 151

Tim gripped his ax and shield as he charged forward with a glum air around him . Sungyoon assessed his surrounding as he followed Tim .

‘Are there any other monsters?’

If other monsters besides the Skeleton showed up, they probably weren’t up for the task of facing them . If he could have it his way, he wanted to leave the labyrinth right now .

However, he couldn’t do that .

There were a couple of reasons Sungyoon picked the inside of the labyrinth as the battlefield .

The first one was communication . It was impossible for him to defeat the Skeleton by himself . Of course, he had to hunt it down with his party, but if they couldn’t communicate with each other, too many mistakes could occur .

Above all else, he wouldn’t be fighting only with the Ross siblings, whom he already had chemistry with . His party had a new ally to adjust to . They would be dead meat if they couldn’t communicate with each other .

The second reason was the dust . The thin layer of dust present on the moon’s surface was too big of a distraction . Once the dust was sent into the air, it didn’t settle down quickly because of the low gravity of the moon .

Of course, it would hinder the Skeleton too, but unlike them, it fought alone . Sungyoon’s party would be at a disadvantage since they had to fight and coordinate as a group with impaired vision .

The third reason was the other monsters . There was no guarantee that other monsters wouldn’t exit the labyrinth if they fought outside .

The Skeleton had already exited the labyrinth, and the other monsters might notice this . Chances were that they’d follow the Skeleton out of the labyrinth .

That was why Sungyoon decided to fight the battle inside of the labyrinth .

But this also meant other monsters might show up at any moment .

The Mana Stream was still ongoing, and they had to worry about numerous monsters appearing at the same time, the reason Princess Grace’s party had been wiped out .

‘There is only one answer . We have to end this fight quickly . ’

They had to defeat the Skeleton before other monsters could show up . Then they had to get on their Moon Surface Vehicles and move far away from the labyrinth .

‘The other Connectors... . ’

He finally thought about the other Connectors who had entered the labyrinth to rescue Grace .

If they arrived between the fight, the party’s fighting power would increase . Sungyoon inwardly hoped it would happen .

On the other hand, there was a good possibility that the other Connectors were also in trouble due to this unexpected Mana Stream .

‘If the opportunity presents itself, we have to escape even if it is just us . ’

It wasn’t as if he didn’t feel sympathy toward the other Connectors . However, there was no benefit for him to go save the other Connectors . Above all else, he had his own fish to fry right now .

“Hoo-ahhhhht!”

Sungyoon regained his focus when Tim let out a shout .

He saw Tim swung his ax toward the Skeleton .

This weapon was a Jewel rank weapon he had acquired from his mother . It was a Platinum rank weapon, which was a rank above Sungyoon’s Gold rank weapon . However, it didn’t possess any special abilities like Sungyoon’s weapon .

But this didn’t mean his weapon was weak .

It was said simple is best .

His ax was hard and sharp, very hard and very sharp .

Kwahng!

The Skeleton’s sword and Tim’s ax clashed against each other .

Tim faltered as he was pushed backward . It was clear that he was inferior in strength compared to the Skeleton .

But this didn’t mean Tim’s actions were all for naught . The Skeleton came to a stop for a brief moment .

Sungyoon immediately charged past Tim and attacked the Skeleton’s spine .

Hweek!

However, the Skeleton’s sword moved quickly .

Sungyoon had swung his sword first, yet the Skeleton’s sword was already positioned to meet his attack .

Kwahng!

Another explosive sound rang out .

Sungyoon furrowed his brows . He desperately tried to keep his grip on his sword that had almost slipped away from his hands .

‘It doesn’t work too well . ’

As soon as their swords clashed, electricity flowed into the Skeleton . The Skeleton jerked a little bit, but nothing else happened .

‘Should I consider myself fortunate that there was some effect?’

Hoo-oong!

The Skeleton swung its sword . Tim raised his shield to block it .

Kwahng!

“Koooooohk!”

Tim groaned when he felt a stinging sensation run up his arm . The attack pushed him backward by a couple of steps . But he withstood the attack as Sungyoon placed his hands on his back .

Then the man immediately dashed out from behind Tim and swung his sword . The Skeleton flinched as it dodged Sungyoon’s attack .

‘Does it feel pain?’

Or maybe it didn’t like the sensation of its body jerking to a stop for a brief moment . Anyway, it was a good sign .

Tim let out a sigh of relief when Sungyoon’s sword restricted the movement of the Skeleton . Despite the advantage they gained, the Skeleton’s speed and strength was still a danger .

“Get out of the way!”

A female voice yelled out .

But it wasn’t Emily . In a flash, Sungyoon and Tim quickly moved away from the Skeleton .

Clack! Clack!

It seemed the Skeleton was taken aback by their actions . But as the Skeleton swiveled its head, intense heat hit the monster .

Kwahhhhng!

Red flames erupted as heat danced around it . The area where the Skeleton stood was swept up by an enormous fire .

“Wow!”

Tim’s mouth fell open as he looked at the flame . Sungyoon was also surprised .

The spell’s area of effect wasn’t large, but its power was on another level

Tim and Sungyoon had moved a good distance away from the Skeleton, yet they could feel the blast of heat . The flame was that powerful .

‘Is this the power of a damage dealer type Connector optimized around magic Gems?’

He possessed two spells, but those spells felt like a drop in the bucket compared to the spell displayed in front of him .

‘However... . ’

Sungyoon tapped Tim, who was standing there gawking . Sungyoon was tense as he glared at the location where the flames were dancing .

He directed Tim to follow him, and slowly moved around the flame . To be precise, Sungyoon and Tim moved in between Grace and the flame .

Too-hwahk!

The flame parted as the Skeleton rushed out .

‘I was right!’

Sungyoon gripped his sword harder, and Tim quickly raised his shield .

The monster’s white bones were glowing red from the heat, and the surface of its armor had melted .

At a glance, one could tell the Skeleton had taken a lot of damage . It possessed high magical resistance, yet it was weak against fire magic . Moreover, Grace’s Gems had been optimized for magic only . That was why the monster had taken a significant amount of damage .

However, it wasn’t enough to incapacitate it .

Boom!

The Skeleton once again swung its sword .

A powerful blow landed on Tim’s shield . However, the Skeleton’s target wasn’t Tim or Sungyoon .

Tah-aht!

As soon as Tim’s body was rocked, it used the opportunity to rush past him .

Its target was Grace and Emily, who stood in the rear .

‘As I’ve expected!’

Sungyoon’s worries came true . The Skeleton was targeting Grace, who was its greatest threat . Sungyoon quickly unsummoned his sword and shield . The halberd made its appearance, and he extended it forward .

He was able to catch the Skeleton’s arm with the hook of his halberd . Sungyoon immediately placed the gravity spell on himself .

Hwee-chung!

The Skeleton lost its balance . Its upper body remained in place as it was caught on Sungyoon’s halberd . However, its lower body couldn’t overcome its own momentum as it kept moving . In the end, the Skeleton flipped into the air as Sungyoon pulled back on his halberd .

But the monster quickly adjusted its body in the air and swung its sword towards Sungyoon .

However, Sungyoon had let go of his halberd, and he had summoned his shield .

Koo-oong!

His body shifted . The Skeleton was still in the air, and it had swung its sword in desperation . That was why the attack didn’t have much force behind it .

Tim appeared . He brought down his ax towards the Skeleton’s body, which was full of openings .

Ka-ahhhhhng!

A hair-raising sound of steel impacting the Skeleton filled the labyrinth .

Koo-oong!

The monster fell to the floor of the labyrinth .

A large dent appeared on the armor around the Skeleton’s upper body .

However, one could see at a glance that no damage had been done to its real body . In fact, Tim was frowning . He had barely hung onto his ax when it bounced off the armor .

‘The magic was able to damage it, yet his physical attack couldn’t penetrate its defense . ’

The surface of the armor had melted, yet Tim could only make a dent on the Skeleton’s armor . Sungyoon lamented at this fact .

However, his disappointment lasted only a moment . The Skeleton’s fiery eyes once again rolled around in its socket to look at its foes . Sungyoon immediately raised his sword when he saw this .

“Get out of the way!”

Sungyoon had been about to stab his sword through the gap in its armor, but he came to a stop . He immediately ran backward . Tim also hastily ran away from the Skeleton .

Did the Skeleton realize something was amiss? It quickly tried to get back on its feet .

‘I can’t let it do that . ’

Sungyoon activated his gravity magic . The Skeleton froze in place for a brief moment .

At that moment, a formless energy wave hit the Skeleton .

Kwah-jeek! Kwah-jee-jeek!

Suddenly, the heated bones of the Skeleton started to flash freeze .

The cold energy froze its armor, weapon, and anything in its surrounding . The cold air spread into the surrounding in a flash .

Toohk! Too-doohk!

It was like watching a movie . The Skeleton started to move in slow motion . It turned completely blue, and one could visually see the temperature drop around it .

“Ooh . So cold~!”

The cold air had spread into the surrounding, and it even reached Sungyoon and Tim . Tim breathed out a white fog as he shivered .

‘Amazing . ’

Sungyoon glanced at Grace .

The Flame magic had been great, but he found the Ice magic to be amazing . The spell was able to damage the Skeleton, and at the same time, restrict its movements .

Of course, the spell couldn’t completely stop the monster in its tracks .

Even if it was a small amount, the Skeleton was moving . Moreover, the frost coated around the Skeleton’s body was sloughing off .

‘It won’t last long . ’

“Let’s go . ”

Sungyoon tapped Tim’s shoulder, and he took the lead as he rushed at the Skeleton .

“Ha-ahhht!”

He brought down his sword toward the neck .

Kah-ahng!

The Skeleton barely blocked Sungyoon’s sword .

‘It is already able to move to this extent?’

Sungyoon was surprised, but the thunder flowing through his sword made the Skeleton jerk and pause once again . Tim, who had followed Sungyoon, didn’t miss this opportunity .

“Hoo-ryahh!”

His ax once again hit the Skeleton . He was precise this time, and the weapon impacted the Skeleton’s cervical bones .

Kwah-jeek!

The sound of destruction rang out as the Skeleton’s head was separated from its body . Its head flew through the air .

Toohk!

The skull hit the ground as it rolled across the floor . Its body slowly fell backward . At the same time, its fiery eyes dimmed .

“D . . . did we win?”

Tim had severed its head, yet he didn’t sound confident as he mumbled to himself . It seemed Sungyoon couldn’t believe it either .

They had worked hard, but when they thought about how powerful the Skeleton was, they had killed it relatively easily .

‘I guess it is all thanks to her . ’

Sungyoon looked at Grace . She was slowly approaching Sungyoon with Emily .

Of course, Sungyoon was now able to fully use his Jewel rank Gems . Moreover, Tim and Emily had acquired better quality Gems . They had all overclocked their Gems in this fight, so that had a large part in why they had won . However, he couldn’t deny the fact that Grace’s overwhelming firepower had the biggest impact .

Sugnyoon wasn’t the only one that was impressed .

‘They are a great party . ’

Grace inwardly praised Sungyoon’s party in amazement . The Gems they possessed were great, but their battle sense and their ability to cooperate with each other was beyond outstanding .

‘Above all else... . ’

Grace’s gaze landed on Sungyoon .

When the Skeleton had charged out of the flame to target her, she had been afraid .

She was a woman of great courage, but her party had been wiped . She had aimlessly wandered around the labyrinth not too long ago .

The memory of the moment when her party members had desperately blocked the monsters from attacking her came to her mind .

Sungyoon’s actions had surprised her .

‘His Gem summoning speed is incredibly fast . ’

He had summoned his halberd in a flash and interfered with the Skeleton’s actions .

‘Moreover, I’m pretty sure he used magic . ’

His spells were also instant . She of all people knew how ridiculous that was since her power was centered around using spells .

Grace was able to prepare her second spell thanks to his actions .

She had lost too many Gems when she had overclocked them . So she had suffered in terms of the variety of Gems she possessed and the power she could generate . It also meant it took her longer to use her spells . Sungyoon and Tim had been great frontline fighters, and they had given her the confidence to act .

“Let’s quickly get out of here . ”

When Emily and Grace approached him, Sungyoon quickly picked up the Skeleton’s moonstone . Then he gestured towards the entrance . He didn’t want to face an annoying situation where he would have to face more monsters . Unfortunately, Sungyoon’s hope was shattered into pieces .
