In many games, there is always that one boss that is not even the final boss that is always super hard to defeat. If you do not have max level with all maxed out stats and all the most powerful magics, weapons, and armors in the game, you will never defeat it, no matter how hard you try. Right now, that frustration when you were just about to beat said boss only to be wiped out when it got to one health was the feeling I had right now as I rushed forward.
I looked up at the massive stone fist about to splatter me against the dungeon floor and yelled out: "Stop!" It was not just my voice either but also Adel's. "Attack!" I yelled out quickly after as the wind from the sudden stop of the fist blew past my body, causing my hair to flutter in the air.
The fist was only about a foot away when it stopped, and I could tell one thing. It was not fully stopped. I guess this is a level thing. I had noticed the same thing when I faced Azengrade and the rest. They could still move ever so slightly.
Resistance to magic is a main in the butt, but this means when I get to a high enough level, nothing will be able to resist this kind of magic which is very op. But now that I think about it. I have a feeling if Adel ever out leveled me, I would be toyed with and wouldn't even know it. After all, out of all the girls, she was the biggest minx who loved to get intimate.
I also rushed forward with sword in hand. The attacks of the three girls in front of me finally all landed their marks. I was not skimming out either as I jumped up in the air and stabbed my sword down. A cracking sound was heard as the sword smacked into the black orb. I quickly jumped back, and all four of us quickly left the boss's attack range. "Faith, how was it?"
I was also curious about how much health we took away in this attack. And to be honest, when I used appraisal, I was not expecting to see that the fifty million health it had would drop to one million with a four pronged attack. I looked up at the core that was cracking and chipping away and understood why. It had massive defense with the barrier and large health but was still weak once you bypassed the barrier. This made it fragile to attacks. "I am going in once more. We will finish it after this attack."
"Awesome!" Sophie yelled out. I quickly took off before anything unexpected happened. I once more jumped in the air and brought my sword down, stabbing it into the same spot as before. This time a loud shattering sound was heard, and the entire core broke. But I forgot one thing about bosses. Sometimes…. They had a second or third form. Or it could be something even worse.
A great wind whirled up, and I was sent flying away. Dust and debris filled the air causing a wall of a tornado to fill the room. I was tossed back and slammed against the wall for the second time today. It did not hurt any less, either. As I gathered my bearings once more and looked up, multiple red lights could be seen shining from within the wall of wind. These lights grew brighter and brighter. I couldn't help but have a bad feeling as I used dimensional transfer to the girls and surrounded us in a fifty layered spinning barrier.
Just as the barrier formed, multiple red lights shot toward us like beams. The barriers, even though they were spinning, shattered one after the other. Such an attack was unheard of up until now in the dungeons I have been in thus far. And right now, I felt like maybe I would not survive this attack. Thirty barriers shattered almost instantly and kept shattering until they reached the last one when the rays of light dimmed and stopped only after cracking the last barrier.
The wind and debris also began to settle, revealing a metallic golem standing where the rock golem once was. But this one looked more mechanical. Which made me frown. But it did explain why I did not sense any magic. It seemed this boss was never an actual elemental based golem but a mechanical one?
But we had no time to rest when the golem suddenly raised its arms, and its hands opened up, showing two red spots that were glowing brightly. Seconds later, another ray of red light shot toward us. I once again formed barriers around us but this time, one hundred layers worth. But they all shattered under the intense force of the rays. Had no choice but to grab the girls and use dimensional transfer to relocate us to the other side of the golem.
"We need to spread out! Or we will never get any attacks in. Sophie, Sei, and Sally, I will leave distractions to you three. I will need to protect Adel and use stop on the golem, so we can get out attacks in. But for now, hurry and move! Stop!" I yelled out so we could get a chance to move. But Sadly, it seemed to be ineffective because all it did was cause the golem to rotate its arms behind it and shoot more red beams of light at us. We all had no choice but to scatter. I have no idea why stop was not working unless it had some kind of anti magic field up that was much more powerful than before. But I do know this was not something I really wanted to deal with!
"Faith, what should we do? Cosmic magic is not working!" Adel seemed worried, but that did not matter. As long as one of us can attack, we can at least do some damage. Since I had a bit of time between the boss's reaction time and my dimensional transfer. I quickly used Apprrsial on it.
