Chapter 77 Instant Kill
In the hall, some of the kobolds were breaking stones, some were planning routes, and the rest were transporting waste materials, creating a bustling construction scene.

It's easy to imagine that with such high work efficiency, a complex kobold lair could be built in just over ten days.

Beside them was a giant dog-headed beast whose size was clearly different from that of an ordinary human.

It paced back and forth like an overseer, its height almost matching Marcus's, its body bulging with muscles, and it dragged a thick iron pickaxe in its hand.

[Sequence 32]: Behemoth Kobold

Individual Threat Rating: [Difficult]

Appearance features:

These are relatively rare mutant individuals among kobolds, and some scholars consider them to be a phenomenon of atavism.

Its size far exceeds that of its kind, with a maximum height of two meters.

Lifestyle habits:
Like ordinary kobolds, but giant kobolds are usually leaders of their packs and enjoy absolute dominance.

special power:

The giant kobolds possess immense strength commensurate with their size, capable of wielding heavy pickaxes or stone pillars.

Additionally, when the giant kobolds are extremely angry, their eyes turn bloodshot and their strength is significantly enhanced.

Core weakness:

Ordinary flesh and blood can be killed using conventional methods.

Association Notes:

Adventurers are advised against confronting him head-on in a one-on-one fight.

Ideally, while the vanguard holds it back, the ranged classes in the team should focus fire to eliminate the behemoth kobold before it enters its enraged state.

Besides the giant kobold in the main hall, there is a newly carved passage on the right side of the cave, which is already quite deep.

A series of low growls, noticeably more gruff than those of ordinary kobolds, emanated from inside—undoubtedly, another colossal kobold was digging a cave within.

The locations of the two most threatening behemoths in this group, the kobolds, are now clear, making the situation much clearer.

After realizing the situation, the group withdrew their heads.

Marcus whispered, taking advantage of the noise of the kobolds digging a cave.

"How do you plan to fight?"

"I'll start."

Zellier quickly came up with a plan: "I'll charge up an arcane missile first and take out that giant kobold beast in the hall. Then you can proceed with the usual tactics to clear it out steadily."

Then Zellier glanced at Lant again.

"Lant, I don't have any demands on you. Just observe the battle from the sidelines, and if you think any side needs help, cast a spell to provide support."

"Hmm...!" Lant nodded vigorously, but he still couldn't calm his nervousness, and even his breathing became a little rapid.

"Remember, wait until I make my move before you go in," Zellier added as a final instruction.

Everyone responded in hushed tones, waiting for Zellir to launch a surprise attack.

Zellir raised the ash wood base and aimed steadily at the giant kobold.

The kobolds in the main hall were clearly very confident in the traps they had set in the cave passages. All the members were focused on their work, and not a single kobold glanced toward the entrance.

Wisps of blue light began to converge, and with guidance from Mentor Marvin, Zeril's process of condensing arcane missiles became even smoother.

Guided by magic, it raced along a predetermined trajectory, and a rhomboid missile quickly took shape.

Finally, one of the kobolds with more acute senses noticed something was wrong.

and many more……

Why are there unusual magical fluctuations around us?
It stopped what it was doing, looked around in confusion, and happened to see Zellir at the entrance of the passage.

However, it was all too late. Arcane Missiles!

"boom!!!"

The blue light of the arcane missile burst forth, even suppressing the brightness of the torches in the main hall. The violent magic tore through the air and swept away!

"boom!!!"

The violent explosion instantly drowned out the sound of the pickaxe striking the stone, and the entire main hall shook, with sand and gravel falling from the ceiling.

The arcane missile struck the giant kobold beast that was pacing back and forth with pinpoint accuracy!

At the moment of the explosion, a huge cloud of smoke and dust burst forth, but the smoke and dust were not pure grayish-brown; they were mixed with a large amount of dark red blood mist.

The main hall fell silent; the kobolds seemed still confused about the current situation.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, and half of the giant kobold's body had disappeared.

Scattered beside it was a pool of indistinguishable bits of flesh and charred bone fragments, the remnants splattered all over the surrounding stone walls.

Giant kobold, instant death!

At the same time, Marcus's roar also erupted.

"Do it!!!"

He was the first to rush out of the passage, drawing the attention of all the kobolds, with Gray drawing his longsword and following closely behind.

"Gala! Wara wakka!"

(Humans! Humans have arrived!)

"Chirp chirp!"

(Kill them!)

Chaos erupted in the main hall cave. After the initial shock, the kobolds immediately picked up their weapons, let out sharp howls, and charged toward Marcus.

Marcus's charge was unstoppable, and coupled with his size and strength advantage, he knocked away the two kobolds blocking his way.

Then he swung his sword, and with a powerful and heavy slash, he easily severed the kobold's crude weapon along with his body!
Gray provided cover for Marcus's flanks, using thrusts and slashes to kill the kobolds who tried to ambush him.

Vales drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

He didn't use Thunder Arrow; he only needed to mix a little battle qi into the arrow, which was enough to kill these kobolds.

"call out!"

Vales calmly picked off enemies from the rear, and with each arrow he fired, a kobold besieging Marcus fell to the ground.

Hill continued her fighting style, and since she was no longer needed on the front lines, she lingered on the fringes.

Hill immediately blocked several narrow side paths that could be used for escape, and any kobolds who came near would have their necks cut off.

The squad carried out the cleanup operation in an orderly manner, and the shocking scene of killing left Lant stunned for a moment.

He gripped the wand tightly, his palms sweating, but his mind was blank; he didn't know what to do.

Zellier noticed Lant's state, but didn't say anything.

After all, they were all young noblemen before, so it's perfectly normal for them to react this way.

He doesn't ask for any contribution; he just wants to be safe and sound.

Zellier focused all his attention on the depths of the newly excavated tunnel.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

The heavy footsteps were approaching rapidly, growing louder as they drew nearer.

Clearly, another giant kobold beast that was carving through the rock in the tunnel had heard the commotion outside and was on its way to provide support.

Judging by the time... well, it's about time.
