The Second Son of the Marquis Wants to Laze Around-Chapter 93: Eren vs Floor Boss (3)

...

...

The Abyssal Reaper hovered above the battlefield, its glowing one red eye scanning the ground in search of its prey. Its gaze swept from left to right, slow and ominous, until—

–Hoosh!

Suddenly, a figure appeared before it—Eren.

Without warning, Eren’s sword that was glowing in crimson Aura slashed through the air toward the monster.

—Slash!

Caught off guard, the boss reeled backward in shock, its wings flapping wildly to regain balance. But before it could recover, its body abruptly froze mid-air, as if something had wrapped around it, restricting its movement.

In the next instant, golden chains shimmered into view, glowing with divine light as they bound the boss tightly.

Then—

–Whoosh!

Twenty identical copies of Eren manifested in the air around the immobilized creature. Each of them floated midair, swords raised high, their blades glowing with brilliant white light. At the front, the real Eren hovered, his sword gleaming just as intensely.

—Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

A coordinated assault of radiant slashes rained down on the Abyssal Reaper. Each blade cut through the monster’s shadowy aura, light colliding against darkness. The boss screeched in agony as it was bombarded from all directions.

"KREEEEEEHHHHHHH!!"

The monster let out a horrific, inhuman wail, struggling desperately against the golden chains—but to no avail. The bindings held fast, leaving it helpless under the relentless onslaught. Eren’s illusion clones were actually high-grade daggers enhanced with light magic, each masked by his illusion technique.

Earlier, Eren had used a top-tier golden magic scroll to cast a powerful binding spell while distracting the boss with a clone illusion. The spell hit dead on, and its effects instantly activated, but he knew—it would only last for one minute.

Right after casting the spell, Eren swiftly summoned twenty enchanted daggers from his storage ring. He controlled them using his Invisible Hand, and then, with precise timing, he tossed twenty-one light attribute enhancement scrolls that he was holding in his hands into the air—one for each dagger and one for his sword—and directed the daggers to slice through the scrolls in mid-air.

Each scroll burst into particles of light, coating the weapons with the holy light attribute. His sword, glowing even more brilliantly than before, absorbed the last scroll’s power directly as he slashed it himself.

With the boss bound and suspended in the air, Eren used Invisible Hand again—this time in the form of threads or wires. Wrapping the ethereal threads around his body, he launched himself upward toward the boss, zipping through the air at high speed. He spun midair and delivered several precise strikes with his glowing blade. freewebnoveℓ.com

At the same time, his illusioned daggers—still disguised as his clones—continued slashing at the boss non-stop, multiplying the damage output with relentless light-element attacks.

The sight was like a scene of a bullying—twenty-one Erens floating in the sky, overwhelming attack and beating the shit out of the defenseless Boss.

—Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

"KREEEEEEHHHHHHH!!"

The boss writhed, its screams echoing like a dying beast’s wail. But Eren didn’t stop. He knew the spell’s duration was nearly up—he had to inflict as much damage as possible before it broke.

—Creak!

But then, a visible crack appeared on the golden chains. The spell was trembling as it held the boss, beginning to shatter.

"Tsk," Eren clicked his tongue in frustration but didn’t stop for a moment.

He thrust his sword straight into the boss’s chest, breaking through the dark energy barrier surrounding its body—thanks to its weakness to light-element attacks.

—Stab!

"KREEEEEEHHHHHHH!!"

The boss let out one final screech before it erupted with an explosion of dark energy, shattering the golden chains in a violent burst.

—BOOM!

A wave of darkness blasted outward, throwing Eren and his illusion clones away. The shockwave scattered the enchanted daggers, which fell to the ground with metallic clinks.

—Clink! Clang!

"Ugh...!"

Eren crashed to the ground, pain flaring in his back. But he gritted his teeth, rolled to his feet, and knelt to steady himself, refusing to stay down.

He looked up, only to see the Abyssal Reaper’s eye flash a deep, furious red. With a menacing flap of its wings, the boss swooped downward and slammed the bottom end of its massive scythe into the ground.

—Slam!

—Crack!

Suddenly, jagged bone spikes erupted from the earth in all directions—a wide-range AOE attack centered on Eren.

"...!"

Eren jumped back instinctively, trying to escape the range. But the attack was too fast and too wide—he was already too close to the center.

In desperation, he yanked out a blue-colored scroll from his ring and activated it.

—Voom!

A transparent magic shield formed around his body, encasing him in a protective bubble of energy.

—Stab!

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. One of the bone spikes pierced through the shield with brutal force, stabbing into Eren’s left side and drawing blood.

—Stab!

His illusion clone, created as a decoy, was also impaled—revealing its false form as it vanished into mist. The Abyssal Reaper’s eyes instantly locked onto the real Eren, who was now exposed, blood trailing from his wound as his illusion camouflage deactivated.

"Ghh...!"

Eren groaned, trying to pull himself free, but the spike had pinned him in place.

Then—whoosh!—the boss appeared in front of him, its massive scythe raised. Both hands gripped the weapon as it prepared to bring it down on Eren with lethal force.

Eren’s eyes widened as his pupils shrunk.

He swiftly pulled a high-grade magical artifact from his ring—a giant shield enchanted to withstand powerful attacks.

—Swoosh!

—CLINK!!

—BOOM!

The scythe struck the shield with a deafening clang. The impact sent a shockwave through Eren’s body, and the sheer force launched him through the air, sending him flying as he slammed against the stone wall behind him.

—BANG!

"COUGH!"

Eren coughed out a mouthful of blood as pain surged through his entire body. He could feel multiple bones broken, his muscles screaming in agony. A jagged bone spike was still lodged in his abdomen—snapped in half after the Reaper’s last attack.

Grabbing the broken spike, Eren gritted his teeth and yanked it out.

"Grah!"

Without hesitation, he pulled an elixir potion from his storage ring and gulped it down in one go.

His body was instantly engulfed in a bright light as the healing took effect. Wounds closed, bones mended, and even the cuts previously resistant to healing—due to the Boss’s debuff curse —began to fade.

Eren knew the elixir was potent enough to remove the curse-like debuff from the start, but he had chosen to save it as a last resort due to the limited supply he had in his ring.

’Useless?’ Eren called out to his system.

[92% of battle data has been collected, Master,] Useless responded promptly, still analyzing.

’Still not enough,’ Eren thought as he pushed the giant shield aside to get a clear view of the Boss, who now stood motionless on the ground, staring directly at him.

A smirk formed on Eren’s lips as he retrieved something else from his storage ring—a strange black device with a glowing red button. His red eyes turned purple and gleamed with power, dispelling the illusion magic around the battlefield.

In an instant, hundreds of barrels of TNT appeared, completely surrounding the Abyssal Reaper.

"!?!?!"

The monster looked around in confusion, its gaze scanning the bizarre cylindrical objects—some of which had already been pierced or damaged by stray bone spikes from earlier.

It turned out Eren had taken them out the moment he was impaled—hidden behind illusion magic spell to remain unseen.

Grinning, Eren clicked the red button on the device. A small mechanism attached to one of the barrels lit up, its digital screen flashing the word: [TRIGGERED].

–BOOM! –BOOM! –BOOM! –BOOM! –BOOM!

A series of massive explosions erupted throughout the Boss room. The monster let out a screech of pain as the entire space trembled under the force. Meanwhile, Eren crouched behind the massive shield, using it as cover while he listened to the chaotic noise and the monster’s anguished cries.

"KREEEEEEHHHHHHH!!"

When the explosion finally ceased, Eren moved the shield aside to see the result. Dust filled the air, thick from the gunpowder and debris.

Then, from the smoky haze, a shadow emerged—ascending into the sky before spreading its massive wings.

–Swooooh!

A powerful gust of wind burst forth from the Boss’s wings, scattering the dust and revealing its form.

Its glowing one eye flashed ominously. It raised its scythe, stretching its arms wide before preparing to swing.

Eren narrowed his eyes, thinking it was about to launch another wave of dark slash projectiles.

But then—his instincts screamed in warning.

–slice

His body reacted on its own as a red diagonal line suddenly flashed across the air. It sliced through everything in its path: the wall, the floor—and even his shield, which he had barely raised to defend himself.

–SLICE!

–BANG!

A powerful sound followed—a delayed shockwave from the slash. A long cut line appeared exactly where the red light had passed. The attack had been so fast that the slicing noise came only after the impact.

–BREAK!

Unfortunately, Eren hadn’t been fast enough to fully dodge. He had leapt to the side while raising his shield, but it wasn’t enough.

The shield was cleaved in half.

And so was his right arm.

–SPLASH!

[MASTER!]

Useless’s voice rang out in panic as blood sprayed from Eren’s severed arm. He grunted in pain, gripping the wound tightly. Swiftly, he cast illusion magic to vanish from view, retreating behind a large boulder for cover.

Clenching the bleeding stump, Eren frowned deeply. The wound wasn’t healing—it was the debuff curse again, interfering with his wound.

He pulled out another elixir and poured it directly over the wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

"It hurts like Real," he muttered, leaning against the rock with a shaky breath.
