And rinse and repeat I did, it wasn't even a challenge, all I did was just constantly throw frost bombs to the point they had just all died.
I had completely underestimated what it meant to have an infinite number of bombs in my arsenal.

And with that realization, this dungeon trial had genuinely become the easiest clear in my life.
Even if new enemies began appearing like trolls, just like I did with the orcs, all it took was just a constant barrage of bombs to annihilate them.
They didn't even get close to me.

And it also turned out that if I combined the bombs with time detonation, the explosion effects also triggered twice.
And well... you should already know how absolutely deadly that sounds.
[Time Detonation]
[Fire Bomb]
PWOOSH!

Although I did manage to discover one simple weakness, my arsenal had a limitation; I could make simple weapons like bombs, guns, or generic slashing and blunt weapons.
But when it came to more creative stuff, it was out of the question.

'Even a powerful monarch based on time has its limitations, huh?'
Well... it wasn't a problem for now, and if this system were really a system, then over time I should be able to find a good workaround.
And I preferred that, it meant that I still had to think and strategise with my abilities than just completely take enemies out in one shot.
It kept me sharp, keeps my guard up, and prevents me from getting killed due to dumb decisions.
'This is it... the boss room.'
I opened the door, expecting the worst-case scenario, if I were to learn something from the previous dungeon I had cleared.
It's that the boss was likely going to be significantly harder than the rest of the dungeon by a hundredfold.
And well... that suspicion was immediately confirmed.
Three Troll Kings... A-Rank monsters, usually, one was already a problem; their regeneration and sheer durability can make a fight last longer than three hours.
And now I was going to fight three of them.
And I haven't even met one before.
In fact, I've only heard about them on forums online, and well... I'm not exactly in high spirits that I'll make it out alive.
But at least I had an infinite supply of fire; regeneration was not a problem.
And as long as their eyes and mouth were just as vulnerable as the elven patriarch's, then this may be an easier fight than I had initially thought.
[Fire Bomb]
[Time Detonation]
FWOOSH!
And with that, I didn't waste time starting the fight, making the first move as I threw a firebomb that hit all three at once.
[Enemy Regeneration Inhibited]
'Perfect!'
[Sniper Rifle]
[Chrono Blink]
BANG!
Good thing my chrono blink applied to aiming as well, it allowed me to instantly target the monster's eyes and mouth without even needing to think.
Who needs shadow minions when you can just skip time and have the desired outcome you want happen immediately?
This was far better!
KCHLKT!
The bullet penetrated straight through its eye, and just as I had hoped, they were the same as the elven patriarch; the only thing durable about them was the outside.
But inside, they are just as squishy and weak as a normal human.
And it made sense; these monsters still followed some sense of logic, and that meant their evolution would naturally not develop durable inner organs.
Thank god for that!
[Chrono Blink]
BANG!
The first troll was now fully blinded, but through sheer bad luck, somehow none of the bullets even managed to hit the brain when it traveled through the eye sockets.
'The hell...?'
I grunted, teleporting away as they were now getting too dangerously close.
If I were able to end the fight without them being even able to swing once, I might get a reward, who knows? If Sung Jinwoo got something for doing his task twice.
Then surely it also applies to me.
[Chrono Blink]
[Fire Bomb]
[Time Detonation]
I needed to swap quickly between the rifle and the fire bombs, making sure the fire doesn't go out means my damage stays permanent.
If even one second passes with them not being on fire, all my efforts will be immediately reversed, given how quickly they were claimed to regenerate.
It was like juggling balls, but far, far harder.
This was going to be a really long fight.
