The Juggernaut is one of the most terrifying and unique monsters introduced in the series. It is not a Floor Boss, but a spontaneous creature that represents the Dungeon's ultimate defense mechanism.
The Juggernaut is often compared to a white blood cell or an immune response of the Dungeon.
It is a unique monster that spawns only when a specific, massive amount of structural damage is inflicted upon a single floor of the Dungeon. This damage threshold is so high that it has only been met a handful of times in the history of Orario.
Its sole purpose is to exterminate the threat (the adventurers) that caused the damage, and it will pursue them relentlessly until it is killed or the threat is neutralized.
The strength, speed, and overall threat level of the Juggernaut are determined by the floor on which it is spawned. A Juggernaut spawned on a deeper floor is significantly stronger than one spawned on a shallower floor.
The Juggernaut is a highly specialized combat monster that sacrifices defensive durability for terrifying speed and offensive power.
On the other side.
Allen, with a crystal around his body, was consumed by rage.
The Crystals have high defense but low speed.
The advantage for Allen is the environment that's full of crystals.
In Silksong, Crust King Khann can command and summon various forms of coral structures to his bidding. All his attacks are centered on these coral growths.
Allen found a way to make these abilities by transferring souls to the crystals, which he can change their size and look.
And by shooting the lasers at them will deflect them back, meaning that if Allen manages to reach his final crystalized form, then the only way to win is by defeating him before he shoots anything.
"ROOOOAAAAAR" Allen screamed as he raised his hand to shoot the laser.
-pzzzt-
Allen shot the laser, but the juggernaut managed to dodge it.
The juggernaut had one mission from the dungeon.
Kill the dangerous human.
The juggernaut dashed at Allen at high speed with his claws ready.
Allen knew what it was thinking, so he made a huge crystal in front of it, but not to defend himself.
-Pzzzt-
The laser that Allen shot earlier came back at the juggernaut from behind.
It hit the juggernaut, but it didn't damage it; instead, the juggernaut absorbed the attack, then shot it back at Allen.
But the attack hit the big crystal in front of Allen, which made it deflect at the juggernaut.
Now this battle might depend on who gets hit by the laser first.
But the only problem for the Juggernaut is that it has a limit on how much it can absorb.
The laser was going to hit the juggernaut.
The juggernaut thought it might absorb it.
But it went through his arm and his tail.
Seeing it damaged, it tried to balance itself.
But Allen wasn't the type to wait for his enemies.
He used the crystal heart to super dash at the juggernaut.
"ROOOOOAAAAAAR" Allen screamed as he headbutted the juggernaut, making its head crack.
The juggernaut is feeling the danger to its life, so it runs to the other side to devour some monsters to get stronger.
The whole floor was covered by the crystals, and the monsters on this floor were trapped inside those crystals, which made the juggernaut search for a bit longer.
The Dungeon, realizing one of its floors was taken by an unknown entity, became angrier and screamed, sending another juggernaut.
The new one sees the damaged one, making it realize how dangerous the threat is.
So, it devoured the other juggernaut, doubling its strength.
On the other side of the floor, Allen was standing still as the crystals started to spread around his body.
He looked like a juggernaut, but his head had horns, with a skeletal look in his face.
Allen's final crystalized form was a form that copies its opponent's move and improves it with crystal and souls.
By seeing their movement three times, he can change the structure of the crystals to be suitable for the move.
The only downside is that it doesn't copy spells.
Allen felt he needed more power, and his hunger for power started to increase.

{...Intruder...Destroy}
{...Our lands now...}

Traitor Lord
Allen's body started to grow in size a little, but it was enough to shatter the crystallized.
Now his body is all swollen, and the crystals have started to form around his body for the second time.
He then went to where the juggernaut goes.
There, he found monsters trapped inside the crystals.
He stepped closer, feeling something inside of them that needed to be consumed.
He pulled his arm back, and then it went through one of the monster's bodies, grabbing a magicstone.
Then he started to put them in his mouth to eat them.
Now, because Allen body was deep inside the crystal form, it had to consume the magic instead of the whole.
Spitting the stones out, he looked at his hand and formed an orange flame.
Allen's crystalized form started to learn Nightmare King Grim Magic.
Seeing many monsters stuck inside, he went on to devour all the magic stones.
(10 Minutes)
Devouring all the magic stones, Allen's crystallized form started to change from one tail into ten tails, the horns were sharper than a blade, and his hands were claws that were similar to the juggernaut.
Looking behind him, he saw the juggernaut again, but it was different from before.
With four eyes, two tails, and its size becomes bigger.
"ROOOOAAAAAAR"
"ROOOOAAAAAAR"
Both of them screamed that the floor started to shake.
Both of them started running at each other, readying their attack to eliminate their own target.
This was where the second round began, and the winner of this battle is near.
