Chapter 20

Joshua looks at the ceiling of the boss room that is covered in ice while his power is slowly deactivated. His body starts to get pale and slightly blue from overusing his power. The reason why mutated bosses are feared. Not only because they jump a few stages of power, but they are also very adaptable.

Even with a short encounter with Joshua's power, the Goblin King was able to gain a cold resistance. If he decides to prolong the fight, the boss will get a massive boost in cold resistance, and he even has a more challenging time killing it.

Joshua opens his eyes and sees Rachel sitting next to him with her hand glowing.

"Hold for a second, okay? Agnes is already opening the gate, and help will come soon."

"I'm fine."

"Yes, and I'm a man. You look even paler than the last time you used it. You are already blue from the cold."

"As I said, I'm fine."

"Shhhh. Just hold it for a minute. Your brain starts to get affected by the cold."

With a sigh, Joshua decided to give up. While he knows that he is fine, he decides to trust Rachel, a healer, and rest easy.

"How is the treasure chest?"

"Hmmm?" Rachel looks at me and says. "Laudia and Ricky are already securing it. It looks like Ricky got a Storage Ring with him and decided to use it to store the item inside the chest."

"Is she not afraid to take the item without us knowing?"

"Don't worry about it, Joshua. Laudia and I have been doing this kind of thing for years. Laudia will write all the items inside his storage ring and will get it back from him without anything left behind."

"Ah, I see. Do you know how much it cost? The ring."

"I don't think you can buy it soon. It is really expensive and very rare. Even the small storage ring can cost you one billion rupiahs."

"How small was it?"

"Hmmm, the last Storage Ring that has five meters by five meters by five meters of volume cost one point two billion rupiahs. So, yeah. It was very expensive."

That is a lot of money. Blessed One job gets him a lot of money, but at the same time, all the items that he uses also cost him a lot of money. However, he can reach that kind of money if he continues to hunt in the tower.

It will be a little more expensive to hunt solo, but he knows he can reach it. He only needs to be persistent about it and continue to grind.

"Where is the patient?!"

Joshua snapped from his thoughts when he heard someone running toward him. It was the previous healer that healed him the last time he used his full power Authority. When the older woman arrived next to him, she frowned a little when she saw the familiar face.

"It's you again?! What is it with you and almost died from hypothermia?!"

"I'm fine, really."

"Hush, child. Let me take care of it. Just relax and don't do anything. I will strap your body in the bed like before if you decide to run away again."

Before he could say anything, the older woman looked at the nurse behind her and said with a loud voice.

"Take him away! Come one! Yeah, strap him with the belt! Careful with the burn injury on his body. No, don't do that! Yes, from there."

She ordered what looked like a new nurse who didn't really have much experience in fieldwork. The people who do not know or can't see it will see that she looks like a mean older woman who likes shouting at young people for some reason. However, to Joshua, she is more of a strict grandmother who will scold her grandchildren for doing something wrong.

She uses a loud voice not because she hates them but because she loves them. She wants them to know their fault and fix it. She did not use any curse, and she only raised her voice a little bit.

"Good! Now, take him away. Make sure he did not get up from his bed, okay?! Chop Chop!"

Joshua gets carried away from the boss room while tied to the bed. After seeing Joshua carried away, Eka looks at the older woman and says,

"I will leave his life to you, Maria."

"Heh. That brat will survive."

"Yes, I know. You are a well-known healer after all, even to the people overseas."

"Heh, brat"

Maria cleans her robe and walks away from the boss room after knowing that the rest of the people here are not as injured as Joshua.

Eka walks toward Laudia and Ricky, who are standing waiting for him. When he arrives in front of them, he says,

"Can you guys tell me what kind of mutation this boss gets?"

Laudia and Rickey look at each other for a few seconds before Laudia walks forward.

"The boss is a Goblin King with double class."

"What?! Double class? Are you sure?"

"Yes. The difference between classes is too big for me not to notice. The first class is your regular Goblin King package, warrior class with high defense and high offense but low mobility. The second class, on the other hand, is a necromancer. It can raise its minions who died in battle. Not only that, the cooldown between spells is very fast. It only needed five seconds before it could raise its minions back."

Eka looks at her as if she is joking, but when he sees Ricky, Agnes and Rachel have a serious expression, he knows that they are very serious about this. A five-second cooldown is a very short cooldown, especially when the minion the Goblin King can bring back is more than two hundred.

"How many goblins can the Goblin King summon?"

"I don't know the exact number, but it was more than five hundred of them, and fifteen of them are Goblin Magicians. There is no Archer, but there are Goblin Knights wears full body armor and has massive health and defense."

"And the Goblin King can resurrect them all every five seconds. How in the hell are you guys able to defeat it?"

"It is all thanks to Joshua."

Eka looks at Ricky, who decides to talk instead of Laudia.

"His power is very versatile. He can summon fifty swords that can be used to kill every Goblin around him and he can recreate it every second after dispelling it. This ability to dispel, construct and recreate it makes him even more powerful. A conjurer's main weakness is that they cannot conjure the item they want fast enough and once that item is destroyed or taken away, they will be a sitting duck"

"And that is not the case with him. He can recreate the item he wants instead of taking it from the enemy bodies, which will take a few seconds."

"Correct. Not only that, but he can also conjure massive ice cyclones that sweep many Goblins at once every five minutes. Sadly, he cannot control the cyclones. Combine his conjuration power and his swordsmanship, he can kill a hundred of them in a minute."

Laudia looks at Ricky and Eka's conversation with a frown. She did not like what she was hearing right now. Ricky should not be able to analyze Joshua's fighting style while fighting against a massive amount of enemies.

Unless Ricky's main job is to watch over Joshua, to begin with, defeating the Goblin King is his secondary objective. Rachel also notices this and has the same frown on her face.

Seeing the frown on Rachel and Laudia's faces, Agnes started to connect the dot and hit Eka with her elbow. He looks at her and sees her looking at Laudia. When he looks at the leader of the Wild Hunt, he starts to connect the dots and coughs.

"Ahem! If the boss is defeated, the monster will not spawn and the tower will disappear after the monster is no more. Laudia, as the team leader of the Wild Hunt, do you want to sell all of these Energy Core."

Eka looks around and sees a massive pile of Energy Core on the ground. Fighting against an undead type of Infernal Beast is either dangerous or very profitable. They can spawn massive amounts of beasts but each of them will drop an energy core. Even when they are resurrected again and again.

However, at the same time, it was one of the most dangerous subjugation missions as the boss can keep summoning its minion after a certain amount of time.

"Aye, we will sell them and will split it equally. Yes, I will leave the guild to do it. I trust you enough to do this. Other than that, can we leave? I need to see if my teammate is in good condition."

Without waiting for any answer, Laudia and Rachel walk away from the boss's room leaving Eka and his team. After a few seconds of silence, Ricky looked at Eka and Agnes before saying.

"I messed up, huh?"
