Respectable Opponents (1st LB: Ep-2)

[Congratulations]

[You have Successfully killed the Barbarian King]

"(Hah) (Hah), Finally" - Ash

"Yeah it took us Two days to kill it" - Lucas

"Anyway let us be happy about the fact we killed it on our first try" - Lilly

"Lilly is right" - Ash

"Let us take some rest and go to the next floor" - Ash

"Yes, Captain" - Lucas and Lilly

****Outside the Boss Door****

"Finally! Let me see what awaits me this time" - Zen

Zen as he pushes the Boss Door.

(Thud!)

"Why is this not budging? Let me give my full strength" - Zen

"Hhaaaaahhh" - Zen

[This action cannot be taken Place]

"Huh?" - Zen

"Why?" - Zen

[The Floor Boss was defeated]

[Please wait until the Boss is repawned]

[Time to respawn: 24 hours]

"Hhhhhhhuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh?" - Zen

"Hey Zen, you cannot break the Boss Door even if you become God, So drop your futile effort" - Candise

"The most you can do is break the floor but a barrier protects Boss rooms so you cannot enter the Boss room right now" - Candise

"Shit! Then what should I do?" - Zen

"This is a good opportunity. Take some rest" - Candise

"You have not slept for 2 whole days, you know" - Candise

"Now that you mention it, I feel a little bit tired" - Zen

"Fine as per your wish, I will take some rest" - Zen

As Zen takes rest outside the Boss Door, Team Lucas takes rest inside the Boss room.

They almost met but fate did not allow them to meet right away.

As they lay down to sleep they felt a strange connection.

They even dreamt about the same dream.

The dream was about the sparring sessions when Zen fell backward and Ash caught Zen like a princess.

It was one of the most fun parts of the training.

They felt Nostalgic when they woke up.

Team Lucas departed to the next floor after taking 12 hours of rest.

After 12 hours of rest, Zen practiced his Spear like when he did in sparring sessions that day.

Another 12 hours passed and the boss was respawned.

[Boss is respawned]

[You can enter the Boss floor now]

"Finally" - Zen

Zen pushed the door and entered the Boss room.

****Floor 100****

"It's been a while since I dreamt something good" - Zen

"I am in a Good mood today, so I will kill you without pain you big bastard" - Zen

[Level 80 Barbarian King is Spotted]

There lies the majestic Barbarian King.

He was about 10 feet tall.

He was more like a Giant than a Human.

"Buuuuuaaaaahhhhhhh" - Barbarian King

"Nice, come on" - Zen

The Barbarian King attacked Zen with his Giant Axe.

(Tang!)

Zen Blocked the attack with his spear with no difficulty.

"HHhuuuaahhhhh" - Barbarian King

He attacked Zen with his Skill 'King punch' with his other hand.

(Thud!)

Zen blocked the Big left hand with his Barehand.

Then he gripped his left hand so that the Boss cannot take his hands back.

The Boss' Left Hand was caught and he cannot remove it.

"Hey you" - Zen

"Buuaahh"

"Buuaaahh"

The Boss struggled.

"You are very weak, you know?" - Zen

The Boss was so pissed off after hearing Zens words.

The Barbarian King was feared among the adventurers as the first Gatekeeper of the Great Labyrinth.

Normally it will take at least a crew of 5 people above level 80 to combine their strengths and defeat this Boss.

It is all because the Brute Strength of the Barbarian King is several times higher than that of a normal human.

But now he was humiliated by a single human saying that he is weak.

"Hey Kiddo, don't underestimate me" - Barbarian King

"Oh! You can talk?" - Zen

"Skill: Intent" - Barbarian King

He turned the Big Axe in his right hand into energy and covered that energy on his right hand.

"I said, don't underestimate me" - Barbarian King

"Haaaahhhh" - Barbarian King

(Bam!)

It was a clean hit.

Zen was sent flying after taking that hit head-on.

"Thu! (Spits Blood), you are not bad" - Zen

'What the hell? He was fine after taking my shot head-on!' - Barbarian King

'Just who the hell is he? Where did he come from?' - Barbarian King

"You said 'Don't underestimate me', right?" - Zen

"I never underestimate any opponents in my life" - Zen

"I just provoked you to face you when you are trying your best" - Zen

"The real fight starts now" - Zen

"Skill: Regeneration" - Zen

'Shit! He fully recovered' - Barbarian King

'I should go all out, otherwise who will know what other powers he is hiding?' - Barbarian King

The Barbarian King took another Big Axe that he is carrying on his back.

He carried two Big Axe in each of his Hands.

"Skill: Intent" - Barbarian King

He changed his Axe into a form of energy and applied that energy to his Hands.

"Is that a skill? It is cool" - Zen said with his drool

"Skill: Strengthen" - Zen

"Skill: Black Flame" - Zen

Zen covered the black flame onto his Spear.

"Take this" - Barbarian King

He attacked with his Big Right Hand.

"Demon lord Spear technique: Stance 1 - Thrust" - Zen

(Bang!)

Both attacks connect.

They both were pushed back.

"Skill: Air Slash x 10" - Zen

Zen fired Air slashes covered with Black flame right away.

"Skill: Flying Intent x 10" - Barbarian King

Both attacks canceled each other.

"You are not bad!" - Zen

"Look who is talking? Are you the Boss of this floor?" - Barbarian King

"Hehehe" - Zen

"Here we go" - Zen

"Skill: Warp" - Zen

(Swish)

"Skill: Air Slash" - Zen

"Skill: Big Clash" - Barbarian King

(Bang!)

"Demon lords Spear technique: Stance 7 - Frenzy Field" - Zen

Note: Stance 7 - Thrust+Cut+Hit combo with no defense

"Barbarian Fighting Art: Stance 9 - Crazy Field" - Barbaria King

Both of them exchanged blows like crazy.

'Wow, he really is powerful' - Barbarian King

'Its been a while since I go all out in the Battle' - Barbarian King

'When is the last time I go all out?' - Barbarian King

'It is so much fun' - Barbarian King

(Remainder from the past)

****Barbarian King 500 years back****

"Hey King of Barbarians, You should not use your skill 'Intent' and 'Barbarian fighting Art' hereafter" - God of Heroes

"Why?" - Barbarian King

"You guys are very strong. If you use your full power then the challengers will become powerful as they face you repeatedly" - God of Heroes

"I love to bully weak people, you know? Hehehe" - God of Heroes

"Sorry Sir God, but I cannot" - Barbarian King

"Hey listen carefully you Big loser. It is not a favor, It is an Order! Understand?" - God of Heroes

"Yes Sir God" - Barbarian King

'Shit! I can't disobey God's words. The Labyrinths are all designed to create a Challenger to Gods. If he oppresses Labyrinth like this then there will be no one who can challenge the Gods' - Barbarian King

'The quality of warriors will continue to decline' - Barbarian King

****Back to the Present****

'Wow, Is this the true power of Bosses in Great Labyrinth' - Zen

'Yes Zen, they are all very strong beings that are created to test your aptitude to challenge the Gods' - Candise

'It is exciting' - Zen

The Battle continued for an hour.

'Shit! It seems my skills have become rusted. Is this the result of not fighting to full strength for 500 years straight' - Barbarian King

'My stamina is also depleted' - Barbarian King

"Hey kiddo, Is there any chance of you holding back?" - Barbarian King

"Wow, you have a good Hunch, you know" - Zen

'Holy shit! Really. He is an Unbelievable Monster. I never faced a guy who is holding back and fighting with me toe-to-toe' - Barbarian King

"Then, It is time to end the Battle" - Barbarian King

"With this final strike, we can have a clear winner" - Barbarian King

"I am In" - Zen

The Barbarian King took 6 Big Axes from his Subspace Inventory.

"Skill: Intent" - Barbarian King

All the Axes were converted to Energy and started to gather in his right hand.

"Holy Shit! This energy is comparable to my Black flame that killed 1000 goblins" - Zen

"It seems I have to go all out I guess" - Zen

"Skill: Dragon Scales" - Zen

Zen transformed into his Half-Dragon form.

"Skill: Strengthen" - Zen

"Skill: Black Flame" - Zen

Zen Gathered his Black flame on the Tip of the Spear.

"Haaaaaaahhhhh" - Zen

"Barbarian Fighting Art: Stance 10 - All Mighty Punch" - Barbarian King

"Demon lords Spear technique: Stance 1 - Thrust" - Zen

(Boom!)

"The world is going to change drastically from now on" - Barbarian King

"A Demon has appeared and he will shake the whole world" - Barbarian King

"I am honored to fight with such existence" - Barbarian King

The Barbarian king said those words while he was disintegrating into thin Air.
