Chapter 127
The flame beast was obviously the doing of Lucy, on the outside she let them go but she was never that kind of person, especially toward men, her hatred never lessened .
For greedy men like those, death is their only escape, there was no way in hell she would let them leave the dungeon safe and sound .
Creating a flame beast is a simple thing for someone in her Realm . It was not efficient in a fight between Immortals but it could deal with any individual under Lv400 . Compared to Randiun, it was far off as the double-headed lizard was literally a God of its own .
The fifth floor was as easy as the other floor and Lucy was beginning to feel bored . Her goal today was to break the record and clear one extra floor, she could clear them all but none of the public would believe her, one step at the time is the way to do it .
"I,I can’t believe it . . . . an S-class hero, definitely . . . . "
Saku covered her mouth as she watched the Bomb Huggers get burned instantly, just like any other previous monster . Lucy didn’t even break a sweat and was as calm and composed as ever . If she was not an S-class then what else could she be?
Only an S-class can deal with the fifth-floor monsters this easily . An A-class Hero, even if he was decently strong, he would need to move or do something but Lucy was not lifting a finger .
"Y,Yeah! Miss Lucy may even rival the Flame Emperor!"
Alin agreed with Saku as she looked around and found no trace of the thirty or so Bomb Huggers that were running toward them a second ago .
Delia rolled her eyes when she heard that and thought to herself .
’Ha! Rival the Flame Emperor? This woman is crazier than whatever Emperor bastard that you have! She would burn down the whole planet if she’s angry . ’
Delia shivered unconsciously when she remembered how Lucy tortured Lissandra the other day, it was a terrifying sight to behold, even for Holy Goddess .
’My soul was tainted that day and my purity was stolen . . . *sniff*’
The poor Goddess reminisced about old times as she took a sip from the famous red wine named ’Domaine de la Romance-Conti’ . It’s one of the treasures she borrowed, never to be given back ever again .
’Explode Explode Explode’
The Bomb Huggers repeated the same words as their chest had a thumping red color resembling a timed bomb . They were very fast and had short legs .
Another big group of BH (Bomb Huggers) was annihilated by the purple flames and finally, a cloth armor was dropped by one of them . Saku crazily ran towards it and inspected it then started jumping around while waving it around .
Seeing her happiness, Guan Gi was pleased too but not for the same reason, he was pleased with the jiggling pair of boobs that went up and down every time Saku jumped . They were bouncing nonstop and the sight was heavenly for any men to look at .
Unfortunately for the burly man, Saku discovered his lecherous eyes and sent a piercing glare that made him stop staring and cough awkwardly . It was a usual thing for him to be this perverted, at the very least he had a good heart and only used his eyes and nothing else .
The fifth floor was almost done and when Lucy was going to tell them that she’s going to pick up the pace, a humanoid creepy looking monster appeared .
Obviously, the first thought that came to everyone’s mind is that it’s a boss, as it was the only plausible explanation .
The thing that appeared was very similar to a scarecrow, it had a long cane with a black crow in its tip and its mouth was strangely big .
A name and a Lvl appeared above the scarecrow’s head .
Fiddle, The Deceitful ScareCrow: Lv350
"W,What?"
Guan Gi rubbed his eyes continuously but he still saw the number 350 hovering above the monster’s head . He couldn’t believe they were so unlucky to the point of encountering a boss .
At this point, they thought it was the dungeon’s boss .
"Chi chi chi! Annoying Humans disrupting my nap! I had to personally interfere . . . . chi chi chi!"
With a weird clicking sound, Fiddle spoke, his voice was weird and uncomfortable to listen to . Lucy knew this was the boss and she sensed him the first she explored the dungeon, she didn’t kill it and let it but for some reason, the boss came out of his way to stop them . . . . or fight them?
"Ara Ara! This is one ugly boss! My eyes are hurting . . . . . "
While playing with her glass of wine, Delia whined and mocked the boss, she wasn’t tense like the other three . Alin was even scared to the point of hiding behind her, she couldn’t look straight at the boss for fear of being targeted . It was too much to handle for a 16-year-old girl .
"That’s a b,boss isn’t it? . . . . "
Saku was the most courageous one, she stood next to Delia and raised her cane, ready to fight . She was surprised and afraid, however, she was not going to let Lucy fight the boss alone, it was suicidal and she was not that kind of person .
"Why did you decide to come out?"
Lucy finally talked, her tone was as cold as usual and it even contained a bit of killing intent .
Fiddle, being totally oblivious to what Lucy said, laughed maniacally and waved his cane and attacked .
A green crow appeared from the tip of his long cane and flew toward the team with slow speed but it expanded in size for every meter it flew until it was the size of a normal human .
Unfortunately for the boss, he appeared at the wrong time, the green crow couldn’t even scratch the barrier laid by Lucy and it was burned by the flames . It took a bit more time for it to die unlike the BH or Gnomes, nevertheless, it died .
"Chi chi chi! Such desperate means won’t work against the one and only lord Fiddle!"
The hand of the scarecrow blurred and by the next second, countless green crows appeared from behind him and charged at the barrier with lightning speed . Each Crow was fist-sized and emitted the same ’Chi chi’ sound as Fiddle .
’Creeeeek’ ’Creeeeeeeek’
’Creeeeeeek’
. . .
One crow after another fell on the ground, writhing from pain and transforming into black ashes after a couple of seconds . The barrier was like an unpenetrable fortress, even the boss was left dazed and could only react when all the crows perished .
"Why did you come out now? I’m not going to repeat my question, this would the last time I ask that and the last chance I give you . "
Seeing that his attack was futile and adding the fact that he can’t see Lucy and Delia’s Lvls, Fiddle was starting to have some doubts and suspicions .
’To hell with it!’
Resolutely, Fiddle let go of his cane which floated in front of his chest and expanded in size until it was the size of an elephant . The long and big cane then transformed into a gigantic green crow that had two glittering red eyes .
Fiddle jumped on the crow’s back and laughed
"Chi chi chi! This will be your end!"
Seeing the boss ready to do his ultimate attack, Lucy turned around and told the rest to get back . When all of them retreated a dozen meters, she canceled her barrier and let Delia take care of their safety .
The gigantic crow didn’t wait for Lucy to get ready and rushed toward her while screeching loudly to the point of shaking the whole floor . Fiddle used the same attack again and summoned countless green crows which followed the big one .
"Bow to down to the one and only Lord Fiddle and KNOW how weak you are!"
As he was celebrating his victory which was not going to happen, Lucy raised her hand for a split second and in that extremely short moment ’Whoooooooooooooooosh’ The gigantic green crow, fiddle and all the other crows were instantly frozen with ice .
From the ground to the high roof, everything around or behind Fiddle was frozen to ice .
"Boomm!"
The green crow which turned into a big ice statue fell from the air and crashed into countless pieces . The small crows turned into beautiful ice sparkles that fell from the air and created a breathtaking sight . Only Fiddle wasn’t broken into pieces, with his frozen state Fiddle fell on the ground and rolled all the way to Lucy’s feet .
Since he was frozen, he couldn’t react or emit any sound or move . What could be seen through the ice is only his wide-open eyes which were ugly and uncomfortable to look at . His body was made from some leather cloth and his head was a round black flesh that seemed rotten .
With but a thought, the ice around Fiddle’s head melted and within seconds, the boss was able to move his neck and see what’s in front of him .
What laid in front of his sight was the cold and emotionless Lucy who stared at him with so much killing intent that he was suffocating and unable to utter a word .
Only after she withheld some of her killing intent was he able to speak and express his shock .
"W,What did you do? Using such trickery to fool the one and only Lord Fiddle?"
Seeing that he still didn’t get what kind of situation he was in, Lucy didn’t hold back and began her sweet plan .
’Crack!’
A chunk of ice was taken out of the still frozen body of Fiddle, his left and thin leg was taken out from the whole body .
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHH! CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
A screeching sound came out of Fiddle’s big mouth, his wails were loud and as annoying as his behavior . After cutting off his leg, Lucy stared back at him to make him understand but the boss was still feeling the pain .
When he finally recognized he was in a difficult or rather desperate situation, Fiddle started looking left and right for help but he soon realized he was the boss of the Dungeon and no one was strong enough to save him .
If he wasn’t able to save himself then he’s doomed . After coming to this conclusion, Fiddle looked at Lucy and suspiciously said
"Who are you?"
. . . . Still no response from Lucy
"I’m the boss of this dungeon, why did you attack me?"
"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Why are you doing this?"
"I surrender I surrender, just stop doing this! STOP!"
"You filthy Human! Have you no shame? I’m already so powerless and I surrende--- ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! CHIIIIIIIIIIIII CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"
. . .
This process continued for half an hour before Fiddle finally calmed down . Alin, who was watching from the back felt some pity and wanted to speak up and tell Lucy to spare him as he appeared to be suffering .
