At the Tombs of the Dead.

"Ice Field. Multiple Thin Ice!"

Pasasasak!

I kept hunting, as usual.

However, I felt something strange because it has been more than a week since Chairman Suh gave me the offer of sponging off the Chinese Yanghwa Guild.

'Man, why is it taking so long? Is he dedicating so much time and energy to simply preparing the script?"

Of course, he might have canceled the plan itself and not written the script, for he might have felt it so burdensome to extort the Yanghwa Guild, or he did not trust me or my ability enough to proceed with it.

Nonetheless, the Daeyu Guild teams were herding the monsters for me like before here in the Tombs of the Dead.

'Okay. For me, there is no rush.'

Anyway, I had nothing to lose from Suh's scheme, so I just focused on hunting. Moreover, my goal of achieving level 400 was just around the corner.

At that moment Manager Jinyoung Lee, my on-hand support person, approached me and opened his mouth.

"Chairman Suh said that all preparations are finished, and he wants to see you around 3pm."

"Oh really? Then, am I seeing at the usual meeting place, the cafe in Northwood Castle?"

"No. Chairman Suh said he will come here around 3 pm."

"Oh, I see. Got it."

I was a bit puzzled why he wanted to see me here, not at the cafe in Northwood Castle, but I didn't care because it didn't matter where I met him.

Now, it is 3 pm.

"Sorry for being late, Asirante."

"That's fine, Mr. Chairman."

Chairman Suh showed up alongside a considerable number of men.

Compared to the 10000 men last time, he was only accompanied by around 50 this time.

But it was certain at a glance that these people were the elites of the Daeyu's elites.

I noticed their eyes burning full of confidence.

Then, Chairman Suh introduced two of them to me.

"This is Pildu Oh, the head of Daeyu's 1st Group, and this is Chungsu Kim, the head of the Daeyu Group's strategic affairs department."

"Hello, my name is Pildu Oh."

"I'm Chungsu Kim."

"Hello, how are you? My name is Asirante."

Shortly afterwards, Mr. Kim, and not Chairman Suh, talked with me on behalf of Suh.

Ten minutes later.

"Um, I see."

Only now could I see why it took them so long to write the script.

It was because of a boss monster raid.

The Tombs of the Dead here also had a boss monster who appeared at exactly 3:30 pm.

So, they made a plan to shoot a video to showcase my brilliant hunting alongside Daeyu's first boss monster raid team. Of course, I was given a prominent role for the hunt.

So, based on the results of my hunting, I was supposed to wrestle with Chairman Suh about sharing the items and the reward.

Anyway, I fully understood the script and waited.

In the script, there was also a detailed explanation of the boss monster, the Death Knight.I need to know the characteristics of the boss monsters because it was essential to include my brilliant activities in the video in order to draw Yanghwa Guild Chairman Jian Chianlin's interest.

Three minutes before 3:30pm.

"Everyone, move to your place!"

"The first raid team's role is to make Asirante stand out. So, don't forget it and do your best to support him!"

Honestly, I was a little embarrassed because I was confident in showing off my hunting skills overwhelmingly even without their help.

But I didn't say anything because it was me who asked the chairman to prepare the script. Besides, I wanted to break his perception that I might not show off my best skills without their support.

In the meantime, it was exactly 3:30 pm.

[Kaaaaaaaah! Who the hell is not equal before death!]

A Death Knight appeared with a loud cry, holding a huge sword with a black blade.

"Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!"

I immediately transformed the battlefield in my favor.

Of course, the battlefield was not necessarily favorable to me for some reason.

[You are in the vortex of death triggered by the Death Knight.

-Attack and defense decrease by 15%.

-Blessing and Healing powers decrease by 30%.]

Of course, the message didn't end there.

[You have a high debuff resistance.

-Attack and defense debuff is dropped to 5% from 15%.

-Blessing and Healing power debuff is dropped to 10% from 30%.]

When I was level 353, even before proceeding with the Salimaru Bandit's quest, my Willpower was close to 5000. Moreover, by clearing the quest, I gained 700 extra stat points and gained even more stat points by leveling up 40 times to level 393. I invested all my gained stat points into Intellect, so I possessed 5500 Willpower due to the effects of Mutual Growth.

Thanks to my enormous willpower, the vortex of death, whose effect was only 33% effective did not inflict any big damage on me.

"Here will be a paradise on earth!"

"Thick Land!"

"Sharp Teeth!"

"Show Anger!"

"Link: Skill cooldown."

[You are inside a paradise where milk and honey flow.

-You recover 3% of the damage dealt to you.

-Inflicts continuous damage to undead type monsters in the paradise where milk and honey flow.]

[Thick Land.

-For 5 minutes, your physical defense is increased by 5% and your magic defense is increased by 3%.]

[Sharp Teeth.

-Inflict 5% more damage to the opponent for 10 minutes.]

[Show Anger.

-For 30 minutes, your physical and magic attack power increases by 5%, but your physical and magical defense decreases by 10%.]

[Link: skill cooldown.

-Loa removes 10% of Asirante's skill cooldown for 30 minutes.

-In exchange, Loa's cooldowns are increased by three times.]

I wasn't alone in dealing with the boss monster.

In addition to the various enchanters, there were healers dedicated to me.

So, as written in the script, I ran straight to the front, well ahead of the tanks.

"Ice Storm! Pouring Hailstone!"

Puck! Puck! Puck!

Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!

Unfortunately I didn't wear the functional skill ring, so I could use only level 4 Icel Storm.

However, the current battlefield with the ice terrain and the boss monster-related set options of the Sacred Permanent Snow Spirit accessories combined with the various buffs I received gave the skill tremendous power. So much so that the boss monster, the Death Knight, staggered back.

"Ice Prison! Ice Blast!"

Since I didn't intend to keep Ice Blast as an ornamental skill, I used Ice Prison on the Death Knight, then blasted the Ice Prison immediately.

Of course, it was less powerful than blasting the Ice Field reinforced with Thin Ice, but it was still enough to inflict damage on the Death Knight.

[Kaaaaaaaaah! I'll kill you! Death Strike!]

"Ice Shield!"

It seemed that he was really bothered by my attack.

The Death Knight singled me out and launched a powerful attack at me.

I could avoid his attack using Blink, but I used Ice Shield instead.

Pacangggg!

Although it was only level 3, I could guarantee this Ice Shield was much more powerful than its level showed. But it seemed that it still was not enough because the Death Knight's death strike still smashed through it with just one stroke. But I didn't retreat.

"Ice Spear! Multiple Ice Arrow!"

Puck! Puck! Puck!

I kept launching multiple attacks from the place where I was standing.

As for the damage I took?

It was clear that I suffered a lot of damage.

But I could endure it without any difficulty.

"Heal!"

"Mega Heal!"

"Keep spamming heal on Asirante!"

Certainly, the healers would not be able to demonstrate their power fully due to the vortex of death, but they could still replenish my depleted health.

In fact my health was not very depleted.

At that moment Chairman Suh and Chungsu Kim, head of Daeyu's strategy department, were whispering at a small distance from the scene of the boss monster raid.

"What I heard about him is quite true!" Chairman Suh uttered exclamations.

"I feel more secure in Asirante than any other tank. Moreover, given such massive damage, his skills are far more effective than any provocation skills that tanks possess. It is clear from how the Death King's eyes are fixed only on Asirante," Kim replied in admiration of Asirante's incredible performance.

That was how the perfect tank and perfect damage dealer were meant to act in a boss monster raid.

Catching both rabbits at the same time?

Kim knew that it was impossible to catch both rabbits, but it was happening right now before his eyes.

Trying not to blink, Kim tried to capture all the scenes of Asirante's brilliant activities in the boss monster raid.
