447 Defeating The Boss! ...And A Mysterious Creature
—–
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The monstrous Mole King unleashed his gigantic and furious attack, as countless Boulders the size of five to seven meters began to be summoned one after the other from within magic circles the beast conjured almost instantly when one of its legs was blown up by the combined attack of Laura and Takeshi. Although it was commendable how great their abilities have become, they were too reckless, and ended going too far away from the safety of our group as well!
“Takeshi! Laura!”
I flew towards the two of them as fast as I could, as Emeraldine ran behind me and quickly generated a barrier of light over the two before an enormous boulder were to almost crush them.
BOOM!
CRASH!
The barrier easily broke apart by the enormous impact and weight of the boulder. As more boulders continued to fall from the sky. I immediately unleashed my shadows as I grabbed both of these children and put them inside of them.
“I told you to not be reckless!” I reprimanded them, as the two seemed to be sorry.
“Sorry, we screwed up…” Takeshi said.
“Ugh, it is my fault, I was the one with the idea…” Laura sighed.
“Well, you still did amazingly though, I have to admit it. However, this is not exactly the time to go praising one another over their achievements!”
I flew back to our main group and quickly decided to erect an enormous barrier made of shadows using [Abyssal Barrier] and [Embodiment] to materialize my abyssal shadows even more, making them harder than the boulders.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
As countless boulders continued falling, Partner had charged in front to aid Lucifer and Gero, with my permission of course.
“HYAAA! RAAAH!”
Partner gracefully jumped over the battlefield, using both of her spears to slice through the enormous boulders with ease, or even using her swiftness and great dexterity to jump over the gigantic boulders with ease, reaching high up and then…
FLASH!
A pair of bat-like wings grew out of her back! Wait! Is this something new?
Maybe it is part of her developing vampiric powers…
“You damn rat, stop conjuring boulders!” Lucifer roared angrily, is jaws quickly began biting the hard face of the mole, as the mole’s jaws tried to fight back by biting his neck, but his scales protected him quite well.
CRUNCH!
“GRUUOOHHH…!”
The mole roared furiously, its two pairs of claws ferociously attacked Lucifer’s chest, only for Lucifer’s magic to be unleashed as phantasmal flames and a black energy that embodied death itself emerged, covering the entire Mole King while Gero poured it with venom so it would stay paralyzed on place. The salamander specialized in paralyzing venom secretion.
And of course, Partner quickly took the opportunity to aid the two as well, coming from high in the skies, her two spears were shrouded by her [Blood Aura] as she continued to pour her Mana into them. Both spears shone as bright as stars for a few seconds, unifying into a single projectile she launched towards the mole’s chest.
“Blood Devouring Spear!”
CLAAASH!
The enormous, combined spear impacted the Mole King’s chest as Lucifer and Gero managed to get away in time, the powerful piercing power, which was a specialty of Partner paid off wonderfully, as it quickly pierced through the Mole King’s hard hide, muscles, bones, and reached its heart, piercing it as the bloody spear began to absorb the monster’s blood viciously!
“GRUOOOHHHHH!”
The Mole King struggled, but thanks to Lucifer’s strength keeping it down, it ultimately perished, quickly stopping its pointless struggle. The boulders had stopped falling some time ago now, and peace quickly took over the Dungeon Floor.
Wow, that was… one hell of a fight. And you’re telling me this is only the first floor of this dungeon?
“Is it over?” Wondered Helga.
“It is… I think.” I sighed in relief.
Looking at the horizon, everything seemed peaceful. It seems there might be a Boss Battle every time we find a ton of monsters like these. I hope things don’t escalate out of proportion in the last floor.
Well, hopefully.
After checking that everybody was alright, I moved to the Mole King’s carcass where Gero and Lucifer were resting.
“You guys did splendidly! Well done! Let’s take a break before descending further for now.” I told them.
“We’ll obviously take one.” Sighed Lucifer. “That beast was awfully strong. But I’ve grown stronger from defeating it as well… I suppose we can’t really keep growing stronger if we don’t actively risk our lives, even though I kind of detest that part of this world.”
“Ah, yeah, I guess you’re right.” I sighed. “For now I don’t know how many floors are there, but if this continues being the same, we can take a break and come back later after we fight another horde.”
“I suppose, although I would really just want to keep going.” Lucifer admitted. “It would be better for us to get this done with as quickly as possible, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, yeah~! If we can take over this mysterious dungeon I bet we can find some nice treasure inside of its depths! And what about leveling and all? I got a bunch of EXP!” Partner said carefreely.
“I suppose the ones that are really stressed out are the dwarves. It mostly depends on how much they can last in these types of battles.” Said Emeraldine.
Crack…
“Right… Huh?”
Crack… crack…
“What’s that sound?”
I looked around my surroundings but found nothing.
Crack… crack!
“What sound?” Asked Partner.
“I can hear it too, something cracking?” Wondered Emeraldine.
We suddenly looked around, until…
“Look!” Partner pointed out at the belly of the Mole King, as it was being torn apart by two enormous black insect-like limbs!
Crack… CRASH!
TRUUUMMM…!
An enormous presence suddenly emerged out of nowhere, quickly catching us off guard completely!
Something smaller than the Mole King, hell, even smaller than the damn Moles emerged from the Mole King’s stomach. When it completely crawled out, it resembled a gigantic humanoid ant-like insect, with sharp red eyes, and a menacing aura.
