AFTERWORD

Chapter 84

Chapter 92

Overview

The four-team boss battle begins when the elf castle teleports away, leaving crawlers, hunters, mounted elves, and the god Diwata frozen in midair on the ninth floor. The AI announces an extreme cage fight as teams plummet into a massive basement arena filled with brambles and mantis nymphs. Carl's team focuses on defeating Diwata while other crawlers battle Queen Imogen.

Summary

After the castle's sudden departure, all combatants fall into a vast underground basement arena. The AI announces a four-team battle royale: crawlers (including Carl, Donut, Prepotente, and others), the remaining hunters, Queen Imogen's elite forces, and Diwata the god (revealed to be Circe Took). During the chaotic descent, multiple casualties occur among hunters and crawlers. Carl coordinates his team to use blunt force against Imogen while he, Katia, Donut, and Imani target Diwata. The battle is brutal and smoke-filled; Dmitri and Maxim Popov are killed by a flaming elk mount. Carl's team pushes through a mountain of dead mantises toward Diwata. Katia gives Carl a beanie containing the spell "I Need My Personal Space" to clear a path. Donut casts her Laundry Day spell at level 15 (boosted by Carl's Pawna's Tears potion), stripping away Diwata's divine protection by removing the armor from the person beneath the god form. Circe Took is exposed and immediately killed by her own mantis children. The remaining hunters are systematically eliminated—Zabit is killed by his own traps when Carl casts Tripper. The crawlers turn to help finish Imogen, but discover several fallen allies including Gwendolyn Duet, Cleiton, and others injured or dead. As Imogen's health reaches critical, Carl throws a hobgoblin disco ball to redirect her lightning attack toward Imani's summoned butterflies, but the explosion sends Carl unconscious. The battle concludes with the crawlers emerging victorious. The quest "The Vengeance of the Daughter" is marked complete.
