Siegfried jumped out of the way, and the Terramorg crashed into the city walls.
Boom!
Rumble!
A part of the city wall crumbled like it was made out of sand after the ancient monster rammed into it. The ancient monster that spanned fifty meters long and towered twenty meters high easily destroyed the walls of the elves’ city.
“What the hell is it?” Siegfried muttered in disbelief after witnessing the ancient monster’s strength.
An ogre? An ultra minotaur?
The Terramorg was far bigger and stronger than any of the monsters Siegfried had faced so far.
“Archers! Fire!”
The captain of the city guards appeared with a group of archers and unleashed a volley of arrows at the ancient monster.
Shwiiiiik!
The arrows rained down from the sky and struck the ancient monster’s back, but…
Ting! Ting! Ting!
The Terramorg’s back was covered with a turtle-like shell with spikes. It was incredibly sturdy.
‘What the hell is that defense?!’ Siegfried was shocked. The bow and arrows of the elves were renowned for being powerful enough to pierce steel as if it were mud, and their marksmanship was feared by many. However, none of the hundreds of arrows managed to deal any damage to the ancient monster.
“Shwoooooop…!”
The Terramorg sucked air in its mouth and expanded like a balloon.
‘That’s…!’ Siegfried’s eyes shot wide open. He knew from experience what it meant when a monster sucked in air, and it could only mean one thing right now.
Breath.
Most monsters with breath attacks would inhale to unleash a breath attack, and every veteran gamer would know that breath attacks were devastating.
“Avoid it! Avoid it! You’re all going to die!” Siegfried screamed at the top of his lungs.
The archers flinched at Siegfried’s voice carried through the air by mana. The archers were convinced by the urgency in Siegfried’s voice, and they promptly ran away.
“Gwuuuuaaaaaaaaaa!”
The Terramorg unleashed a stream of molten lava at the spot where the elves were gathered just a few moments ago.
Tssshhh!
The molten lava melted everything that it touched and set everything on fire.
“This is crazy…! It’s this strong?” Siegfried muttered in disbelief.
The Terramorg was a monster on a whole different level from anything that Siegfried had faced until now, and this was including the monsters he had fought when he first started the game as Tae-Sung.
However, there was one thing that he was not aware of, and that was the fact that this Terramorg still hadn’t matured. This Terramorg had just passed its juvenile stage, and it possessed only a tenth of the power of the Terramorg that Deus had defeated four hundred and fifty years ago.
The reason the Terramorg crawled out of its lair before maturing was simply because it could no longer withstand its hunger. However, the young ancient monster still easily destroyed the city walls of the elves and set everything ablaze.
The monster in front of Siegfried right now was not a monster he would ever imagine himself attempting to raid, but he wasn’t planning on giving up.
Kwak!
He gripped his +15 Gaia’s Fist.
“It’s pretty strong, so stay on your toes,” Siegfried warned his comrades.
“All right! Kyu!”
“No need to mention that, hyung-nim.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Got it, hyung-nim!”
His comrades witnessed the ancient monster’s destructive prowess as well, so they agreed with Siegfried’s suggestion.

Meanwhile, the elves were busy fighting the invading dark elves.
“My king! The Terramorg has appeared at our royal capital!”
“What?! Terramorg?! Oh my god!” Lohenrgin was shocked at the report he was hearing.
“Why would it appear now of all times?! Is our Elondel doomed to collapse?” he lamented.
The Terramorg had once laid waste to half of Elondel, and the elves barely managed to avoid extinction thanks to the human hero who had vanquished the ancient monster back then.
Today, they were in a worse situation than back then because they were currently in a war against the dark elves.
The situation looked absolutely grim for them.
“But my king, I believe it will be fine as long as we manage to finish this war as soon as possible.”
“Hmm? What do you mean by that?”
“The Terramorg is not as big as the one that appeared in the past, and I believe that it is possible for us to kill it. King Siegfried is currently keeping the Terramorg at bay, so we just have to focus on ending this war as soon as possible.”
“Really? Oh! Mother Nature has not abandoned us! She sent a savior to Elondel!” Lohengrin was elated. The fact that the human king was the disciple of the hero that saved Elondel four hundred and fifty years ago gave great comfort to Lohengrin.
However, he wasn’t completely relieved.
“That means we will have to put an end to this war and return as soon as possible. The Terramorg is still a powerful ancient monster, so it will be difficult for my son-in-law to deal with it alone.”
Lohengrin suddenly started referring to Siegfried as his son-in-law.
“We should launch a full-scale attack to push these Niflheim bastards back. Deploy all forces and push them!” Lohengrin commanded.
However, Lohengrin had no idea that he had just made a grave mistake.
Why?
The urgency of having to return to the royal capital made him rashly deploy his troops, and he had no idea that his mistake would snowball and swing the tides of this war.
However, Lohengrin would discover his massive mistake two hours later.
***
The battle between Siegfried’s party and the Terramorg was like attacking a boulder with eggs.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Seung-Gu’s Iron Golems unleashed their artillery barrage.

“Haaaaap!”
Cesc grabbed the ancient monster’s hind legs in an attempt to lift it off the ground.
“La~ La~ Lalala~ Lalalala~”
Gringore sang songs.
“Kyuuuuuu!”
Hamchi shot out a laser beam from his mouth.
Siegfried hopped onto the ancient monster’s head and unleashed Machine Gun Smash, but he only managed to leave small scratches on the ancient monster’s head. He failed to deal any significant damage.
[Terramorg]
[HP: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜]
They were only able to shave ten percent off of the ancient monster’s HP.
[Terramorg]
[HP: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛]
“What’s up with its crazy regeneration rate?!” Siegfried shouted in disbelief. The ancient monster’s HP returned to one hundred percent in the blink of an eye. However, he did not have the luxury to grumble around and complain.
“Gwuoooook!”
The Terramorg was enraged, and it went on a rampage once again.
Thud! Bam! Thud!
It thrashed wildly and destroyed the surroundings.
“Haaaaap!” The Descendant of the Supreme King, Cesc, let out a cry before shouting. “EASY WEIGHT LIGHTWEIGHT!”
Cesc inherited the Supreme King’s monstrous strength. Perhaps that was the reason he managed to slightly lift the ancient monster off of the ground.
“Gwuok…?”
“Wow… He can actually do that…?” Siegfried muttered while staring at the musclebrain with eyes full of expectation. Could the Musclebrain Bandit flip the ancient monster on its back?!
However, the Terramorg simply shook its leg and…
Tak!
“Aaaaaaaah!”
Cesc was sent flying.
“Tsk… I knew it…” Siegfried clicked his tongue and facepalmed.
Cesc had inherited the Supreme King’s monstrous strength, but it was still impossible for him to flip the ancient monster over when he still hadn’t fully awakened. Of course, the fact that he was able to slightly lift the ancient monster off of the ground was impressive, but it was practically useless.
In the end, Cesc was forced to temporarily leave the battle after getting flung into the distance by the Terramorg. Unfortunately, Cesc wasn’t the only one who had no choice but to leave the battle.
“Y-Your Majesty…! My songs are not working …!” Gringore shouted in a hoarse voice.
The Terramorg was deaf, so the Phantom Singer’s songs were ineffective. Its hide was also too thick for the soundwaves to penetrate its brain and deal any significant damage.
In other words, the Terramorg was the Phantom Singer’s perfect counter.
“Retreat and stay somewhere safe,” Siegfried said before gripping his +15 Gaia’s Fist tightly.
“Let’s fight all night long then,” he muttered under his breath before dashing toward the ancient monster.
The battle restarted with only Siegfried, Hamchi, and Seung-Gu.
They threw everything they had—including a kitchen sink—at the ancient monster, but it only took them two hours to finally realize that defeating the ancient monster by themselves was impossible.
[Terramorg]
[HP: ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛]
They fired, smacked, whacked, punched, kicked, and did whatever else they could, but the ancient monster’s HP was still at one hundred percent.
“Huff… Huff… That fucking bastard…” Siegfried cursed while gasping for air.
“Kyu… Kyu… Hamchi can’t fight anymore…”
“Hyung-nim… I’m out of potions now…”
Both Hamchi and Seung-Gu were too exhausted to fight…
‘Isn’t this just one of those impossible-to-kill monsters…?’ Siegfried gritted his teeth in anger.
The Terramorg was simply too powerful. It did not seem to be tired in the slightest, even after fighting for over two hours. In fact, it looked quite fine and fresh, as if it hadn’t been fighting Siegfried and the others.
The ancient monster was so strong that it was actually amazing how Siegfried's party was still alive.
‘What should I do? How can I kill it? I don’t think Torrential Flower Rain is going to work judging by that thing’s defense…’ Siegfried pondered.
“Gwuoook!”
The Terramorg completely ignored Siegfried’s party and made its way toward the residential area of the elves.
Siegfried’s party was just a nuisance to the Terramorg, and they did not look tasty at all.
The pesky bastards were also too slippery and agile for it to catch, and it failed to get even a single bite in the past two hours.
Therefore, the Terramorg decided to ignore Siegfried’s party and let them do whatever they wanted while it went to feast on the elves in the city.
‘I have to stop it!’
Siegfried tried to stop the Terramorg to no avail.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
He hopped onto the Terramorg’s back and slammed his +15 Gaia’s Fist as hard as possible, but the ancient monster didn’t even flinch, not to mention stop.
‘I can’t stop it… My damage is too low…’ Siegfried finally despaired. He knew that he had to do something before the ancient monster started filling its belly with the elves, but his damage was nowhere enough to stop it.
‘Huh? Maybe that could work…?’
A brilliant idea that could stop the Terramorg suddenly popped up in his mind.
“Seung-Gu!” he shouted.
“Yes, hyung-nim!”
“Do you still have some artillery shells left?!”
“I have one or two left per golem!”
“Shoot it over there!” Siegfried shouted while pointing at the left side of the ancient monster’s back.
“Do you see that slight opening? That looks like a wound!”
“Yes!”
“Focus fire there! Hurry!”
“Roger that!”
Seung-Gu was confused, but he obliged.
Whiiing… Clack!
The Iron Golems aimed the new cannons developed by the Proatine Kingdom at a certain spot on the Terramorg’s back.
Boooom!
The Iron Golems unleashed every single artillery shell they had remaining toward the ancient monster’s wound.
It was super effective!
“Gwuooook!”
The Terramorg screamed in agony when its wound was reopened by the artillery shells.
‘Now’s our chance!’ Siegfried immediately ran on top of the ancient monster’s back.
