Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong

Chapter 242: Battle of Attrition... Part-2.



Although there weren't actual boss monsters in the game that could be considered real hydra, there were quite a few with hydra's blood.

They were one of the most annoying types of boss monsters to kill; after all, their regeneration speed was way too insane.

'I will need to create a chance…'

To kill monsters with such hyper-regeneration abilities, the method is often very simple: use such overwhelming firepower that the opponent gets completely obliterated in a single shot.

And Jareth was aiming to do the same.

Just like how he destroyed the 'Cyclops' back in the dungeon raid event during the starting days he came to this world, he needs to use a powerful attack to wipe out the mutated Fisur in one go.

But the situation is completely different right now.

The cyclops regeneration ability was not as fast as those who have hydra's blood.

Comparing the regeneration speed of the two would be like comparing the speed of a fighter jet to a snail; the difference is way too big.

[Basic Magic: Mana Beam Barrage!]

Jareth started to bombard the mutated beast and the other monsters to keep them at bay for now and dodged the incoming miasma tentacle attacks for the time being.

While dodging an attack, Jareth was busy thinking about how to deal with Fisur.

And Fisur, on the other hand, was going crazy from impatience and annoyance over the fact that he couldn't keep up with Jareth's flying and dodging speed.'

The situation turned into a stalemate for a while due to this.

'Hmm?'

At that moment, Jareth frowned a bit and glanced towards the ceiling with a look of confusion.

'This aura… Zion? What is that guy doing here? Hmm? He's fighting someone?...'

Jareth was really confused at this weird situation.

He has met Zion before, not too long ago, so he can easily sense the other party's aura if he's in a close vicinity, and now that he is just right above him, it's way too easy to sense him.

'That other person he's fighting is not weak either… Their aura is also extremely strong… almost equivalent to Zion…. N-NO WAY…. NO WAY!...'

'Don't tell me it's that crazy, plant-obsessed women!?... Tch! Why do I have such sh*t luck? Wherever I go, I end up meeting an endgame boss…'

'And this time there are two of them!... this sh*t isn't even funny anymore…'

As Jareth was thinking about the situation above-ground a look of helplessness appeared on his face for a moment, and the mutated beast below misunderstood that Jareth was finally getting impatient.

"BAHAHAHAHAH!!! I TOLD YOU!!! I WILLL KILLL YYOU TODAYYYY!!!"

Hearing that irritating and loud voice, Jareth frowned even more.

"Will shut up for a second…"

[Grade-2 Magic: Fallen Meteor of True Flames!]

Jareth waved his finger, and a massive magic circle appeared under his feet and started to fire gigantic burning meteors enveloped in true flames below at insane speed.

*BOOOM* *BOOOM*

Each meteor was so fast that the moment it was fired from the magic circle, it already had insane momentum.

It was as if those meteors were real meteors that had come in contact with earth's gravity and atmosphere, which accelerated them to an exaggeratedly high speed and caused them to burn due to friction with air!

*BOOOM!*

The meteors crashed into Fisur's mutated body and the hordes of monsters and demons below, causing a massive explosion that killed hundreds of thousands of them in one go!

The true flames kept burning, and even if miasma or corruption tried to get in its way, they couldn't stop burning it.

Jareth spread his true flame in all directions, causing all the corruption and miasma that was continuously spreading outwards to start burning at a constant high speed.

Due to the constantly burning true flames, the miasma stopped spreading for the time being.

'If I create a confinement with true flames, I can still keep the situation in check for the time being, but this isn't a proper solution; this will only delay the inevitable…'

Jareth can definitely keep using his true flames to keep this entire miasmic rift in check for a very long time to come, but he himself doesn't have all that time to waste in this place.

Two of the golden nails have already been destroyed; he can't afford to waste his time here; if this thing is not solved fast, he will have no other choice but to leave this place.

*Crack!!* *Crack!*

Just when Jareth was thinking about what to do next, the ceiling suddenly started to crack, and debris started to fall down from above.

'Ah sh*t! Here we go again!'

*BOOOM!!*

The ceiling suddenly fell apart, and two people came crashing down along with the massive amount of debris.

Jareth immediately waved his hand and used his telekinesis to catch all the debris.

He didn't let any debris fall down in the central training area, as that would hinder his work here, so he threw it away using his telekinesis.

"Zion Reid… What's the meaning of this? I thought you were a hero? Can't you see I am busy right now… I will fight you some other day; don't linger around me for now…"

Hearing Jareth's words, Zion was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head in embarrassment.

"Er… that… I wasn't purposely stalking you or anything…. I just wanted to retrieve my sword from the elven empire… I had no idea you were here too…"

Zion glanced at the sinister-looking miasmic rift that Jareth was dealing with, and a look of seriousness appeared on his face.

"I see, so you came here to deal with this… I was right that day about you, Jareth Ayad… You are indeed a kindhearted person…"

Zion saw Jareth trying to help the elven empire deal with the miasmic rift and misunderstood that Jareth was doing it for the sake of people and the world.

Even when they had that fight back in the Abyss altar area, it was all because both of them were trying their own methods to deal with this dying world.

Zion has mistaken Jareth for a 'Hero' like him due to his actions.

"Well, it's something like that… Keep that woman away from here if you really want your sword back; my hands are full right now, so don't expect any backup…"

Jareth also knew that Zion is a very chivalric type of person; he wasn't worried that the other party would suddenly stab him in the back.

Zion basically has the mindset of a 'Hero', He's a knight with honor and fame; he won't attack Jareth like a petty thief. If he really wanted to fight Jareth, he would do so in the form of a proper duel.

Hearing Jareth's words, Zion nodded his head and immediately focused on his opponent once again.

While fighting aboveground, the lives of the people above were in great danger; Zion could sense that if he kept fighting there, then the people wouldn't be able to get out and evacuate.

Moreover, Zion had also sensed Jareth's presence down below just like Jareth had sensed his.

So, he took a risky step, destroyed the ground, and dragged his opponent down in the forbidden area so as to keep the damage to the people aboveground to a minimum.

While Zion was staring at Luche, she was staring at Jareth with narrowed eyes.

"Hoh? I always used to think that there was only one man who could deal with me… but to think that I will meet another one today…"

Luche licked her lips, and a look of excitement appeared on her beautiful face as she stared at Jareth, who was dealing with Fisur at the moment.

She glanced at Zion, who looked like a determined and self-sacrificing hero, and then glanced at Jareth, who seemed like a cold and unmovable mountain, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

She had been chasing Zion all these years because he was the only strongest man she could find in the entire world, but now that she has seen that insanely powerful aura on Jareth.

She suddenly thought that Zion didn't seem as fragrant as before anymore.

Her situation was like a kid who had been contently playing with her old toy for a long time, and suddenly a new toy appeared in front of her, which seemed more fun than the older one.

Luche is a complete maniac; she isn't even a villain, actually; she's a complete psychopath. For her, power is everything.

"HEHEHEHEH!! Living for so many years was indeed worthwhile!!! Who could have thought that after so many centuries of waiting, I would end up meeting a man who's just as strong as Zion!"

"Moreover, he is completely my type!"

Zion is a hero after all; he doesn't have the qualities of a villain. Jareth, on the other hand, seems more suitable to be on her side, as he seems more cold-hearted.

Luche completely ignored Zion at this moment and rushed towards Jareth, but Zion got in her way and interrupted her fantasies.

"Jareth is dealing with that miasmic rift right now… I will protect his back for the time being; you can't harm him, Luche Distanthorn!"

A look of annoyance appeared on Luche's face after hearing those words.

"Get out of my way, you impotent fool!! You are getting in the way of me meeting with my future husband!!!"

Hearing those words from Luche, a look of helplessness appeared on Jareth's face.

'F*ck my life! Now this madwoman is targeting me all of a sudden for no reason…'

Jareth didn't know whether to laugh or cry anymore; he was still thinking that he wouldn't have anything to do with this crazy woman, but now she's targeting him openly!

This is simply too outrageous.

She's been chasing Zion for thousands of years, and now she switched boats on a moment's notice after seeing him.

'Ah… sometimes having too much 'W Rizz' can also bring harm to oneself…'
