Breaking Up with the Heroine of the Female-Oriented Game - Chapter 121

Chapter 121

Ouroboros (3)

***

The Ouroboros started rampaging.

“Kieeeeee, eeeee, eeeeee!”

Bang! Bang bang! Bang!

A thunderous roar echoed.

As the Ouroboros, boasting a size comparable to a building, threw a tantrum, concrete structures crumbled like dominoes.

Apartments, buildings, shops, roads – everything was collapsing.

The Ouroboros was ravaging downtown Busan with its steel-like sturdy body. Lee Jinhyuk watched the Ouroboros through binoculars from a distance.

…Looking at it like this, it’s certainly a bit scary.

Wow, shit.

Why is it so big?

If Lee Jinhyuk had been at that scene, would he have been crushed and died immediately?

Ugh.

Lee Jinhyuk wondered if everyone was alright.

The current Jin Soyeon shouldn’t be careless enough to get hit by a blind attack, so she should be fine, right?

“Kiririri?! Kiririri, ririririri!”

Kwaaaang!

Hong Daye unleashed her telekinetic power.

It was a telekinetic force that felt powerful enough to crush even the Ouroboros’s steel-like sturdy body.

The sheer power could be fully felt just from the sound of air being torn apart.

However, as if somehow aware, the Ouroboros immediately twisted its head to avoid the telekinetic attack.

It skillfully evaded the invisible, formless force.

As if it could see the telekinetic force.

“…Is it the third eye? It’s only avoiding attacks that seem dangerous.”

Lee Jinhyuk muttered to himself.

The third eye.

It’s one of the most annoying abilities of the Ouroboros.

That snake bastard can observe abnormal, magical, physical energy, and so on through its third eye.

It’s already difficult to deal damage due to its endless regeneration and sturdy body, but to make matters worse, it’s also tricky to land attacks because of the third eye.

In other words, it’s a monster that has a well-rounded combination of regeneration, durability, and evasion.

It can be said to be a truly troublesome monster.

Even in the game, Lee Jinhyuk had struggled for a long time when he didn’t know the strategy.

But after learning the strategy, it was just like a dummy monster with an annoyingly large HP bar.

First, to tackle the Ouroboros, it’s necessary to destroy the third eye.

And for that method…

“Huu, Lee Jinhyuk, can you hear me?”

“Yes.”

At that moment.

A call came from Han Seowoo.

Han Seowoo’s voice could be heard beyond the noisy sounds at the scene.

“As you said, I asked Hong Daye and the HanYoung Clan members for help.”

“How was their response?”

“For now, Hong Daye’s side agreed to follow our orders. They were quite cooperative when I borrowed the name of Gaon Nuri.”

“That’s fortunate.”

The name value of Gaon Nuri is quite useful.

It was able to easily persuade someone like Hong Daye.

It really seems that a representative clan is indeed a representative clan.

“The HanYoung side said they won’t take orders and will do things their own way. But they said they’ll cooperate to a minimum extent.”

“Well, that’s fine.”

From the standpoint of being another representative clan, it seems they’re not too pleased with simply following orders.

Lee Jinhyuk just scratched his chin at the HanYoung Clan’s words that they would cooperate to some extent but act autonomously.

“Anyway, what we needed was Instructor Hong Daye’s ability.”

What Lee Jinhyuk needed now was Hong Daye, Hong Daye.

Because she had a powerful single blow that could pierce through the Ouroboros’s durability.

Even that snake with endless regenerative power had been deliberately avoiding Hong Daye’s attacks, hadn’t it?

It was proof that Hong Daye’s attacks were threatening, no matter how much it could regenerate.

“I explained the strategy to Hong Daye. She seemed a bit unsure, but when I said we have a tactical advisor on our side, she said she’d follow along.”

“Hmm. About that tactical advisor.”

Could it be me?

Tactical advisor?

If Hong Daye finds out later, it seems like Lee Jinhyuk might get an earful.

“But will Han Seowoo be alright?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“It seems Hong Daye is willing to follow our plan because she thinks we have a professional tactical advisor…”

To put it bluntly, even if Lee Jinhyuk went to Hong Daye and explained the strategy in detail, Hong Daye would likely react negatively.

Because Lee Jinhyuk was just a mere academy student.

In other words, the credibility, reliability, and persuasiveness of his words would be low.

Let’s take a simple example.

No matter how right the words are, would they even listen to a young student’s chatter?

Isn’t it much more likely that they’d dismiss it as nonsense?

“Ah, well… I personally hold you in high regard.”

“Pardon?”

“Other clan members might just be following along because it’s Yoo Seolhyun’s order, but I’ve seen what you’ve accomplished so far.”

What Lee Jinhyuk has accomplished so far?

“Like how you cleanly conquered the Youngdeung Mountain Dungeon, and how you’ve been going around here and there throughout the summer vacation, tackling monsters, villains, dungeons, and so on as if you knew about them in advance…”

Ah, come to think of it, during this summer vacation, Lee Jinhyuk did go around various places with Han Seowoo and Yoo Seolhyun, even pushing himself a bit too hard for artifact farming.

From Han Seowoo’s perspective, it must have been amazing to be able to discover artifacts wherever they went.

“You said you have a special ability to identify monsters’ weaknesses, right? …I believe you.”

So perhaps Han Seowoo had been suspicious that Lee Jinhyuk might have some special ability.

But at that time, it couldn’t be helped.

Because Jin Soyeon alone wasn’t enough firepower, so help from strong external forces was needed in that situation.

Thanks to that, they were able to collect a large number of artifacts and items now, so it wasn’t bad.

“So have confidence and give proper orders.”

“Yes. I understand.”

“Good, then let’s take down that oversized snake.”

Although it was quite a threatening monster to be simply treated as a snake, if they could target the third eye and reverse scale, it could be turned into just a big snake as she said.

Then, shall we start by destroying the third eye first?

“Let’s start the operation. Aisha, I’m counting on you.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve faced such a large monster, I’m getting excited~.”

Aisha put on her invisibility cloak with her usual relaxed response.

The invisibility cloak that consumes a considerable amount of physical and magical energy, making long-term use impossible.

But its effect can be said to be outstanding.

Because it can completely escape the perception of the opponent.

“Ms. Hong Daye, then I’ll leave it to you.”

“…? This voice sounds very familiar from somewhere.”

“Ms. Hong Daye, please hurry.”

“Hmm, well…”

When Lee Jinhyuk switched the channel to Hong Daye’s side and gave orders, she seemed unsure about his voice but given the situation, she obediently carried out the strategy as she had heard from Han Seowoo.

Hong Daye raised a considerable amount of special ability to pressure the Ouroboros’s body.

She spread her telekinetic force widely like a gravity field so that the Ouroboros couldn’t avoid it even if it could see it, strongly pressing down on its body.

It must take truly tremendous power to bind even momentarily a mass of that size.

Indeed, she could be called High Ranker Hong Daye.

It was a power incomparable to ordinary telekinesis users.

“Everyone else, please try your best to bind the snake’s movements.”

Everyone was following diligently as planned.

Special ability users with restraining abilities, barrier abilities, wind abilities, and so on were also doing their best to restrain the Ouroboros’s body.

The Ouroboros was trying hard to break free from the restraints, swinging its tail vigorously.

Probably, that restraining force won’t last even a few seconds.

But 3 seconds is enough.

For her.

“This much is easy peasy!”

“Kiririri, ririri?!”

Aisha appeared right in front of the Ouroboros.

Thanks to the effect of the invisibility cloak, she was able to approach right up to its nose without being detected by the Ouroboros.

If it weren’t for the invisibility cloak, even though the Ouroboros was half-restrained, it would have been difficult to approach easily because it was struggling so much.

No, even if she could approach, it would have certainly resisted desperately.

However, with the help of the invisibility cloak, it was possible to reach right in front of the Ouroboros without any interference, leisurely receiving help from a wind mage.

Moreover, the Ouroboros was currently in a situation where its body was half-bound.

Aisha thrust her twin swords towards the third eye with all her might.

It was truly a lightning-fast strike.

With Aisha’s attack reminiscent of a beam of light, the Ouroboros lost its third eye.

Blood gushed out in a fountain!

In the excruciating pain of losing its eye, the Ouroboros thrashed violently.

“Kieeee, eeeeeeeeee, eeeeeeeeeek!”

It must really hurt.

It’s breaking free from the heroes’ restraints and writhing about.

But it won’t last long.

That’s because the Ouroboros is a monster with endless regenerative power.

Since the third eye is an important organ, it will take some time to regenerate, but it was obvious that it would soon regenerate.

But it’s okay.

Because they can make it so that it can’t regenerate again.

“Ms. Hong Daye, now!”

“Hmm!”

Hong Daye concentrated the formless power she had spread widely into one point.

In a situation where a massive amount of power was concentrated enough to cause an illusion that space was distorting, Hong Daye attacked the Ouroboros with all her might.

Could the Ouroboros, having lost its third eye, possibly avoid Hong Daye’s telekinetic force?

Hong Daye is an outstanding hero who was even mentioned as a candidate for the top 10 ranks.

“Kiririri? Kiririririri, riririririk?! Keeeeek?!”

It hit directly.

It struck the Ouroboros’s reverse scale.

The reverse scale just below the neck.

In plain terms, the reverse scale.

It was the Ouroboros’s crucial weak point.

Hong Daye accurately attacked the reverse scale as per the strategy.

Although the reverse scale is much tougher than other scales and can’t be damaged by ordinary attacks, it was not enough to withstand Hong Daye’s full-power strike.

The reverse scale is the source of power responsible for the Ouroboros’s regeneration.

Now that such a reverse scale has been damaged, the Ouroboros should not be able to regenerate.

“It really can’t regenerate?”

Hong Daye muttered to herself in an excited tone while looking at the Ouroboros.
