There's an old saying in East Country: fight poison with poison.
By worshipping evil spirits, and forming "deities" with divine artifacts, they suppressed another evil.
This method of 'driving a tiger to devour a wolf' was actually a last resort.
However, as all those who knew died, no one remembered this anymore.
Later generations, compared to "evil spirits," were more willing to believe that the shrine worshipped a deity.
"This... what exactly is going on?"
Zhoufang Youxi hadn't had time to savor her previous "heroic" performance when the massive monster that immediately appeared completely shattered all her distracting thoughts.
"Actually, if you've played games, after you defeat the elite monster, you then enter the real boss battle. This is a similar situation now."
Rosen explained to them why this monster appeared.
As for its origin?
Heaven knows.
"Perhaps this monster is the real 'Mountain God,' who knows."
Sakurajima Mai took a few shallow breaths.
Although she still had strength to fight, facing this monster, she also felt an absolute inability to win.
"This kind of monster... let alone killing it, can these weapons we have really harm it?"
Yotsuya Miko looked at her hands with some doubt.
Although she often heard inspiring stories in her childhood about how many ants could kill an elephant, she had never heard of any real ants killing an elephant in reality.
And even if it were true, the number of ants they were wasn't enough.
"Ah, ah, I'm hungry."
Yurikawa Hana clutched her stomach, already weakly leaning against Rosen, her little belly rumbling continuously.
Fallen Angel: "Oh no, this is really a boss battle now."
Hell's Fubuki: "This is also an undead? Why does it look like an insect?"
Shepherd: "The undead are not only related to humans; they can also be the collective resentment of various creatures in the world. That fox spirit just now was one, and I think this undead might be a collection of the resentment gathered in this place."
Saeko: "No, at this point, why are you still so calm, Lord Rosen? That monster looks even more troublesome than the previous Mountain God!"
Saeko Busujima's emotions were also more stirred than usual.
A monster as vast as a mountain, how could they fight it?
Magic Old Man: "If you need help, send a request. Although I might not be able to do much, I should be able to temporarily control it with barrier magic for a while."
I Don't Want to Eat Monsters: "So big, even bigger than a dragon, and it looks terrifying too! But Lord Rosen, please send a request quickly, I... I'll go help you too!"
Although Marcille knew she might not be of much use, she couldn't stand by when Rosen was in danger.
As for Falyn.
Unfortunately, there's no way to bring people over yet.
Otherwise, relying on the magic book left by Xithle, the Dungeon Master, Falyn might be able to summon a few giant dragons to help.
Bad Woman: "Although a monster's power cannot be judged solely by its size, if, according to Mr. Rosen, it was suppressed here by the Mountain God, then this monster's power is clearly stronger than the Mountain God's."
Bad Woman: "With our strength, even combined, we might not be able to do anything to this undead. The most suitable option right now is to stay away from that undead. If you're targeted, Mr. Rosen can temporarily go to another world to hide for a while."
Bad Woman: "Of course, if you don't want to run away, then you can only ask Miss Gabriel for help."
Fallen Angel: "Huh? I don't think I can beat this rising morning sun either? But at this point, I can only try!"
Bad Woman: "That's not what I meant. My idea is, does Miss Gabriel still have the 'Destruction Horn'?"
Fallen Angel: "Huh? You don't mean you want me to use that, do you? Although that thing can destroy the world with one blow, once it's blown, it can't be stopped before the world is destroyed!"
Seeing this, Rosen couldn't help but think.
Gabriel actually bothered to warn about the side effects of the Destruction Horn?
Weren't you the short-tempered character in the original work who couldn't resist blowing the Destruction Horn over a few minor things?
Bad Woman: "Destroying the world and then reshaping it might also be a way to correct a distorted world."
I Don't Want to Eat Monsters: "Miss Makima, aren't you... being a bit too extreme?"
Hell's Fubuki: "Normal. After all, Miss Makima is a person whose rationality outweighs her humanity in her own world."
Shepherd: "First, thank you for your kindness, but besides the Destruction Horn, none of these are good ideas."
Shepherd: "So I'll handle this myself."
After speaking.
Rosen looked at the mountain-sized monster.
After awakening, due to hunger, it extended numerous black tentacles from its massive body, grabbing and consuming the undead in the forest.
In the time they had just been chatting, most of the undead in the entire forest had already been eaten.
093 Until there was nothing left to eat, the mountain monster turned in another direction, and in a mysterious way, the girls sensed that the monster was looking at them.
A heart-stopping sense of oppression descended upon them.
Although they still had the courage to fight, the disparity made them feel somewhat despairing.
Then, Rosen moved past the girls.
In fact, up until now, Rosen had never truly made a move.
Whether in the Apocalypse world or the Delicious in Dungeon world, because the world strength was too low, Rosen didn't need to exert his full power.
He didn't know the extent of what he could do now.
He only knew that he was stronger than this mountain monster.
So much so that even when he personally felt the oppressive presence of this monster, his heart remained fearless, and he could even chat casually with his group members.
The monster noticed him.
At its level of strength, it could faintly sense Rosen's extraordinary nature.
A hint of resistance from the depths of its soul and intense hunger intertwined in its thoughts.
After a brief clash of thoughts, the monster's consciousness ultimately gained the upper hand.
Its towering figure moved from behind the mountain range, its shadow covering everyone.
Rosen, meanwhile, looked at it.
Immediately, a dazzling golden light rippled through the atmosphere.
"Die."
