--- Made it in time

In an old ruin, a dozen girls who were sitting on the floor had some of them lose their smiles after hearing the second announcement. Someone just stole their spotlight!

A certain "30-year-old virgin" was fuming in anger, and she wanted to tear that "thief" apart...

"Ahhh!!! It's that bastard again! I'm sure he's messing with us on purpose."

She was a six-foot-tall woman with short auburn hair, beautiful red eyes and lips, and a body that could make any man dazed and murmur "Perfect!".

She's like a succubus, but no one has managed to conquer her yet, all thanks to her cold and irritable personality, especially towards men.

"You hag! It's not Lord Des's fault. It's just a coincidence! Why are you always blaming him?"

"Listen here, shorty, that man is doing it on purpose. This is the second time he messed with us, so stop your stupid obsession with that dirty man! Besides, you should be respectful toward your seniors!"

"Hmph! As if I'll be respectful towards people who slander Lord Des."

"You little-"

"Alright, alright, Misha, Teacher Farah, no one is at fault here, so both of you should stop now."

""Hmph!""

***Giggles!***

The leader stepped in to stop the fight, but they both refused to reconcile, making her lips twitch uncontrollably. It was hilarious to see a grown woman arguing with a child and the child acting like an adult. The rest of the girls were just giggling at the sight of it.

"We got heavenly-ranked loot from the boss, so we should celebrate. It doesn't matter if our spotlight was stolen. After all, that man is an "abnormal entity", so we can just ignore him."

"Ehhh! Big Sis, what do you mean by an "abnormal entity"? He's a super cool person, you know?"

"Haha...alright, alright..."

"Grrrrr..."

***Giggles!***

The redheaded shorty was still defending her idol, but her leader just shrugged her off. She growled cutely, which earned another giggle from the rest of the girls.

"Still, he's in deep trouble now. I wonder how he will survive this calamity..."

"Yep, look at the number of elite players. The whole world is currently watching this scene."

"Hmph! He will absolutely die!

"Nooo!!! We should help him!"

"""..."""

"Not happening, Misha! He invited this calamity, so he should solve it himself."

"No way..."

"He probably has a solution for this; someone who can solo a legendary boss won't go down without a fight, so let's just watch and see. Let's head back first and take a rest. Since this is being broadcast live, we can just watch while we rest."

"""Yes, Leader!"""

"Also, guard Misha. She might do something stupid."

"Ehhh!!!"

"Leave that to me. This shorty will never leave my sight.

"You!"

"Hmph!"

The group of women left with a slight look of disappointment in their eyes, although for various reasons. And it was caused by just one man.

*******

Let's rewind the time for a little bit before Chris killed the troll king...

It took him almost 20 minutes of continuous running just to reach the other side of the labyrinth. A huge cave with lots of stone formations greeted his sight.

"Haah...Haah... I can't believe I ran that far in a few minutes...phew! I just need to kill the boss here and go back."

At the very far end of the huge cave, a tall and burly humanoid creature can be seen lying down asleep. Not just on a rock or the ground, but on mountains of shining coins, mostly gold, with some equipment and items.

There are also 11 more similar mountains just besides it, each with a height of about 25 meters, making his eyes bulge out and his mouth wide open. If the players were to see this, they might even go crazy. This much is more than enough to sustain a large guild for months or even years.

One has to know that a low-level gold farming slave can barely even make a single gold coin in a week. So this much is like a miracle.

"Holy crap! This monster is hella rich! How can he have so much treasure despite being underground? Is it kidnapping business?"

Unlike the normal furred trolls he encountered in the labyrinth, this troll king has no fur at all. Its muscles are bulging and at least three times taller than the regular ones.

[Boyyg, The Dark Troll King(A+) Lvl.50

HP: 550,000,000 Atk:1,250,000

Skills: Rock Throw, Mad Swing, Ground Stomp, Collapse, Violent Rush, Warcry, Summon Troll General, Summon Troll Warriors, Regeneration, Stone Skin, Rampage

Drops: Platinum Coins, Spirit Stones, Skillbooks, Warlord Set (Hidden: Boyyg, Slain, Skullsplitter)]

"Tsk! That HP... this will be troublesome, as its regeneration should be the same as mine. It's not a corrupted entity either, so the damage I'll deal to it will be less..."

*Grips!*

"Hoooo... Whatever. In any case, it has to die. If I can't kill it without activating the true berserk, I'll just activate it then!"

[Conversion]! "Convert 247,398 HP to Mana..." -247,398HP!, 2/247,400

[Partial Berserk Activated!]

[+100% DMG/Armor/DMG reduc., No heal for 5Minutes!]

'Alright, here we go!'

After doing his usual partial berserk, he readied his arrow. He was already positioned very far away to ensure that he will be able to hide fast without being noticed by the boss.

[Powershot]! 5...4...3...2...1 *Swoooosh!* *Bang!* -114,240,000... *ROARRR!!!* +8,250,000... +8,250,000...+8,250,000

[Blink]!

'This is manageable. Good thing there are so many stalagmites here.'

He did his usual hit-and-run tactics with the occasional use of his blink to avoid being found by the troll king. He can only regenerate about 4,000 mana per second, so he has to use his blink sparingly and camouflage if he is about to be found. It's a good thing the cave is huge and there are so many protruding rocks to hide behind.

'Man, I want to fight this monster in melee combat to temper my body and spirit, but with the time limit, I can just do it some other time.'

Almost 20 minutes of fighting later...

*Gurrk!* "Boyyg...ish...nyot...-" *Thud!*

The troll king breathed his last, dropping dead on the ground and turning into moats of light. Its summons also turned into moats of light, which were dispelled. Chris had a hard time battling the boss as it summoned lots of trolls for aid, making it hard for him to hide.

[You killed Boyyg, The Troll King(A+) Lvl.50!]

[You obtained 60,000 Exp, +2,000 Fame, 415 Platinum Coins, 115 Spirit Stones, Skillbooksx10, Warlord Set(A), Boyyg(S), Slain(S), Skullsplitter(S), Treasure Chest(A).]

[Congratulations, you...]

*Thud!* *Huff!* *Huff!* *Drip!* *Drip!*

After accepting the world announcement notice, he just fell on his buttocks, panting heavily. He didn't even bother to look at it or even care, as he was dead tired.

"That was intense... Next time, I'll learn a skill that stops regeneration so I will never have a hard time against such monsters in the future..."

'Three heavenly drops and named to boot; it should be its own unique drop and will never drop again in the future... Let's see, the axe for Darryl and the necklace for Peter... As for Boyyg, it's a huge, spiked club. I guess I'll just save it for now...'

And here we are at the current time. Almost all the protruding rocks in the cave were destroyed. Even the ground was full of holes, all thanks to the troll king's rampage ability. He suddenly got energized upon remembering what he came here for.

"Oh no, the mission! Since it didn't drop the droplet thing, it should be on those mountains of treasure!"

He ran towards the mountain of treasures with a slight panic. He only had about 20 minutes or so before the dungeon closed permanently, and he will fail his mission.

[You obtained 1,842,886 Gold Coins, 357,211 Platinum Coins, Gems(Elemental)x4,517, Gems(Upgrade)x242, Equipments(C-A)x2,324.....]

[You obtained 1,782,123 Gold Coins, 461,335 Platinum Coins, Gems(Elemental)x5,923, Gems(Upgrade)x366, Equipments(C-A)x1,226.....]

[You obtained...]

[You obtained...]

With just a touch, the whole mountain of treasure vanishes into thin air. He didn't even bother to count or even look at the coins and equipment he got, as his only focus was the droplet that he needed for his quest.

[You obtained 2,012,814 Gold Coins, 333,791 Platinum Coins, Gems(Elemental)x3,517, Gems(Upgrade)x242, Equipments(C-A)x924.....]

"None! It's not here! Damn, where is that thing?"

He panicked even more when he didn't find the item he needed. He decides to circle the whole cave with his observations and detections on, even though it's mentally stressful.

A few minutes later, he found a hidden room that was hidden by another epic rank formation. With just a touch, it was instantly dispelled.

A rolling stone door greets his sight, and he just pushes it to the side. Although it was huge and heavy, his strength is so high that he just tapped it effortlessly.

"My goodness! I thought that the troll king was rich; I didn't know that it was still an understatement..."

What greets him is another mountain of coins and stones that shine blue. It was about 15 meters tall. In front of it is a square-shaped, protruding rock that has a small bottle on top of it. He walked towards the bottle with excitement.

"This should be it..."

[You obtained 1,237,512 Spirit Stones, 388,379 Spirit Coins, Phial of Heavens(SS).]

[Phial of Heavens(SS)Max: Generates 1 drop of heavenly liquid per day. Each drop can either be consumed or used for enchanting weapons. Upon consumption, it completely heals the HP and MP of the user, removes all negative effects, and grants 1 instance of damage negation. Enchanting weapons will give it 1 instance of a purifying attack that can destroy evil. Drops left: 209/250]

'Destroy evil, huh? How do you even define evil...?'

"Phew! I should hurry, there's only about 15 minutes left..."

[Haste]! [Camouflage]!

After getting what he came for, he left in a hurry. He even received a message from his brothers about what's going on above and just smirked at it. He'll definitely set an example later, once he completes his quest.

His way back was even harder as the number of monsters doubled once more, which annoyed him a lot. He had to blink through walls to just avoid the cluster of monsters.

He managed to reach the lake with great difficulty, but the way back was shorter as he blinked through walls.

[Corrupted Glades Limited Instance. Time left before closing permanently: 00:26]

[You entered Corrupted Glades...]

*Huff!* *Huff!* *Huff!*

"Phew! I made it in time. Man, I had a nice morning workout today..."

'Hmmm?'

""...""

The twin little girls immediately hugged him, much to his surprise. But it's completely understandable, as it took him quite a while to return. He hugged them back with a sigh of relief.

"Im back..."

""...""

Now, it's time to finish everything and free the little twins of their curse so they can pass on peacefully.
