Chapter 73: Versus Gatekeeper (1)
Cerberus, a monster that’s famous in Greek mythology for being the gatekeeper of hell.
As a legendary figure, it wasn’t hard to guess how powerful it could be if placed in a game as an "event" boss.
Henrietta gulped hard, staring at the bloody red name floating above its head, with the eightfold HP bar just above it.
[Fragment of Cerberus, Guardian of the Canines Lv. 999]
"Yep, impossible to beat!" she cried, smiling in defeat.
They were barely out of single-digit levels, and now, they had to fight against one who was about to break through four digits? If not suicide, she didn’t know what else it could be!
"Wait, Ritta!" But Uriel pointed her finger toward their towering enemy. "Check its name again! It says fragment—this must mean it’s not the main body, but rather, a clone or something! It only has one head right now, after all!"
"Huh?"
She did check the name again and confirmed it was the very first word on it—"Fragment."
"Right, this is a game..." she muttered, trying to convince herself.
The game’s devs wouldn’t randomly place an unbeatable monster in a field for newbies. For sure, its strength was adjusted so that players at their level could barely fight against it and... with enough luck... win.
