The Prince of Heaven's Gate - Last Stand At World's End-Chapter 165 The Revenger
The Mutated Thunder Wolf King was in the center of a smoldering crater after it had tanked six Dragon Breaths at the same time. It was badly shaken by the surprise attack, and had received serious injuries, but the Half-Elf was certain that it could still fight.
If it was an ordinary Alpha Beast, like the Red-Eyed Terror Mantis, it might have been killed by this point.
Smoke oozed out from the corner of Lux’s and Eiko’s lips as the effect of the Dragon’s Breath faded.
‘I knew it, it would not go down that easily,’ Lux thought. ‘As expected of a Rank Five Field Boss Monster.’
After checking the Elysium Compendium, Lux was quite surprised when he saw that they managed to take out a third of the Mutated Thunder Wolf King’s health.
“Eiko!”
“Pa!”
“””Mana Drain!”””
“””Drain!”””
Lux took this opportunity to siphon the Monster’s mana reserves, while it was still down for the count.
Diablo rushed towards the Monster, wielding a Dark Spear that Lux had acquired when doing the Mythical Quest in Millwood Village. Although it wasn’t a Mythical Weapon, it was still a Unique Weapon that boasted significant strength.
The Skeletal Rider’s Heroic Charge connected with the Thunder Wolf King’s body, sending it skidding several meters away. However, just before Diablo could hit it with a follow up attack, the monster leapt away to safety.
“Lux! We’re here!” Boreas shouted.
“Let’s take this monster down together!” Aron declared.
Seeing that it was outnumbered, the Mutated Wolf King planned to escape, but before doing that, it still wanted to kill the Half-Elf who had made its life miserable.
Lightning enveloped the Giant Wolf’s feet before it disappeared from where it originally stood. A second later, it reappeared behind Lux, and opened its fangs to bite him to pieces..
However, just as its fangs were about to reach its target, a rocky hand jutted out of the ground and gave the Thunder Wolf King an uppercut that sent it flying.
“I knew you’d do that, so I prepared a surprise for you beforehand,” Lux turned around to look at the Giant Wolf whose jaws were bleeding from the blow it received. “Say hello to my little friend.”
The ground trembled and a four-meter-tall rock golem stood in front of Lux. After Lux had upgraded all of his stats and skill points, he had unlocked his skill Summon Golem, and pooled his remaining Skill Points to strengthen it as much as possible.

“Go get him, Orion!” Lux ordered and the Rock Golem roared before running towards the direction of the Mutated Thunder Wolf King that lunged at the Golem in front of it.
Just as the two were about to collide, the Giant Wolf King vanished once again. It was dead set on killing the Half-Elf, but did not want to bother with his Summons.
The Mutated Thunder Wolf King reappeared beside its armored opponent and crushed him with all of his might.
The sound of armor creaking was heard, and soon, the body it had bitten was torn in half.
“No! Lux!” Boreas shouted when he saw what happened to the Half-Elf that had the upper hand in the battle. He didn’t expect that the monster would be stubborn enough to only aim at Lux in order to end his life.
After killing its prey, the Mutated Thunder Wolf King howled in triumph before eyeing the summoned monsters that would soon disappear in front of it. But, after nearly half a minute, the Skeletons were still there and were rushing towards the Boss Monsters as if they were on steroids.
Diablo’s bone spears, as well as Airon’s flame lances, flew through the air, hitting the side of the Giant Wolf’s body.
Ishtar’s rain of arrows pummeled her target and made its movements slow down.
Pazuzu smashed its mace into the Giant Wolf’s forehead, making it howl in pain.
“T-They’re still moving?” Aron muttered as he looked at Lux’s summons who were duking it out with the Boss Monster, who was also fighting them with everything it had.
Boreas immediately noticed something and urged his subordinates to attack. Since the summoned creatures didn’t disappear when Lux died it only meant one thing.
The Half-Elf wasn’t dead.
Soon, the wrath of the Riders of Norria was seen as their weapons smashed against the Mutated Thunder Wolf King’s body repeatedly, while their goats rammed their horns into its body.
Aron also snapped out of his daze and ordered his men to join the fray.
Each and every time the Thunder Wolf King tried to use its AOE lightning attacks, one of Lux’s minions would cancel it by forcing it into a duel.
Little by little, the health of the Rank 5 Monster dropped, until only a third of it remained.
The clones had repeatedly used the Mana Drain ability until the boss monster could no longer sustain its special moves. It had no choice but to resort to just using its physical attacks to deal with the horde of Skeletons, Dwarves, Slimes, and the Rock Golem who punched the Giant Wolf’s head left and right.
After feeling that its death was imminent, the Thunder Wolf King forcefully shook off its attackers and used its Lightning Step one last time to distance itself from its enemies before making a run for it.
“Just where do you think you’re going?”
A teasing tone asked from the sky.
Lux, whom everyone had thought was dead, descended from the heavens like a comet.
“Dragon War Art Ninth Form!” Lux roared as an image of a Red Dragon appeared above him. “Draco-Meteor!”
The mighty roar of a Dragon spread across the surroundings as Lux descended in blazing fury.
His fist smashed into the Mutated Thunder Wolf King’s head, causing the ground under its feet to shatter due the force of the impact.
“Die!” Lux shouted as he smashed the Giant Wolf’s head towards the ground again, creating a powerful explosion, which sent dirt and rocks flying in every direction.
Lux clicked his tongue because his blow was still not enough to kill the monster. However, he was completely exhausted from the all out attack he had just done.
The Half-Elf then used his Lightning Strider skill to distance himself from the monster who was near-death and ordered his new companion to finish it.
“Orion! Finish him!” Lux ordered as he pointed at the Monster which had forcefully propped itself up from the ground.
The ground shook as the four-meter tall Rock Golem ran towards his opponent. When the wolf came within its range, it used its Leap Attack to lunge at his opponent with his arms pulled back to deliver its strongest attack.
“Gaia Smash!” Orion roared as it descended towards his enemy with his fist radiating a golden light.
The moment the Rock Golem’s attack connected, a loud cracking sound was heard as the Mutated Thunder Wolf King’s skull broke under Orion’s finishing strike.
A powerful shockwave blasted everyone in the surroundings away as the Boss Monster howled its dying cry.
The greatest threat that appeared in Leaf Village had finally breathed its last and turned into particles of light.
This left everyone, especially the dwarves, feeling like they had just witnessed the birth of a legend, whose tale would soon spread across the entire Dwarven Kingdom of Gweliven.
