Biohuman

Chapter 647 Boss Battle (1)

"Dungeon Boss has implemented Boss Conditions. Prepare for battle." The group's comms spoke in unison. The bloody doors closed shut behind the group as Olivia and Evan looked behind them.

"It's really a dungeon boss!" Ritsuka gripped Obsidian Glass tighter. A smile grew on his face as he shook off the nerves. "Just imagine us clearing a dungeon like this one! The other guys would be so jealous of me!"

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves…" Liz commented. The Goblin King's men all lined up ready to fight. The few mages that were left seemed to turn to ready themselves for a fight. "We still have to kill the boss before we can do anything."

"Bwahahhaha!" The Goblin King laughed. "You think you can kill us, humans?!? You'll become fine entertainment like the rest of your humans! Get them!" The Goblin King slammed his large greataxe into the ground, signaling the start of the battle.

Twenty-two Orcs and Hobgoblins rushed at the humans. Two mages lifted their staffs and started to chant in Goblin while the two colliding forces met each other. Keng held Hydrosphere in his left hand as it shifted back into a dagger. He slid his finger down the blade, weaving runes into the blade.

"Gravitum: Exploding Blink." Keng whispered. The runes shifted into a single Gravitum rune. Keng threw the blade down into the group, watching an Orc grab the dagger mid-air and look at the Fox Spirit. It chuckled at him before Keng appeared right before the Orc, hand grasping the dagger. The rune lit, exploding the Orc to bits as a wave of smoke and pressure pushed the others away.

Manny and the others lifted their hands as Keng lifted his head up. Energy Leech runes binded with Gravity Beam runes. The runes shot out a silver-blue beams in every direction, piercing the small army in a mere second.

[+200 Souls have been added. 3,700/100,000 Souls total!]

"Now!" Keng shouted. Liz's body crackled as she threw her hands forward at the Goblin King. The Goblin King lifted his greataxe to block. The psionic energy collided against the greataxe, arcing off of the blade and hitting a single Mage before arcing back into the dust cloud. The Mage and Orcs and Hobgoblins screeched as Ritsuka and the others dashed into the clouds, weapons ready.

The guttural sounds of the Goblin King's men dying in mere seconds angered him. He pushed the psionic energy away, screaming. A red burst of energy grew around the Goblin King and his men.

[Goblin King has enacted Rage! All Remaining King's Men have been afflicted with Utter Rage!]

"Grah!" An Orc suddenly burst with power, pushing Manny away and swinging the crude axe into Manny's chest. Manny pulled away, blood trickling off his armor and winter gear. Green lines grew across his wounds as he lifted his hand to heal it. The green lines faded as the Orc rushed at Manny, swinging for his head. Manny ducked, throwing himself into the Orc and pushing it backwards into the ground.

'They're weakened because of Keng and Liz. This sudden burst of energy from them won't stop me!' Manny pulled the dagger strapped at his side and plunged the dagger into the Orc's stomach. The Orc screamed as it wildly swung the axe at Manny. Manny pulled away, flicking the Orc's blood off of him as he gripped the dagger.

The Orc ran at him with the axe raised upwards. It swung downwards as Manny dodged right and dashed forward. The dagger plunged straight into the Orc's head, twisting as Manny quickly pulled it out and plunged it in a couple more times. The Orc landed on the ground as Evan appeared next to him.

"Watch out!" Evan raised the shield. A blast of fire energy collided with the shield as screams of Hobgoblins and Orcs grew louder.

"You're mine, Fox!" The Goblin King screamed. He rushed at Keng, swinging the large greataxe, wildly. The greataxe plunged into the marble flooring as Keng dodged and moved himself away from the group. Strikes of Gravity Energy Leech flew out, barely denting the Goblin King as he lifted his greataxe upwards. The axe swung downwards as black and red energy poured out of the Goblin King. "Axiom Arc!"

The greataxe picked up speed, hitting Keng straight into the ground. The marble ground exploded into dust as the vibrations drew Ritsuka and Liz's attention.

"Keng!" Ritsuka shouted. The Hobgoblin jumped forwards for a piercing attack with its sword as Ritsuka deflected the blade. The sword slid forwards as the Hobgoblin pulled out a dagger, embedding it into Ritsuka's shoulder. Ritsuka howled as he pushed the sword away and slashed the Hobgoblin's sword arm.

Void energy grew as Ritsuka plunged the Hobgoblin's chest. Without thinking of himself, Ritsuka pulled the sword out and kicked the Hobgoblin away with him. He turned to run after Keng.

'Please be okay! Please be okay!' Ritsuka screamed in his head as a burst of fire energy knocked him over. Ritsuka howled as he rolled, landing on his ass next to Olivia. Olivia plunged Hydrosphere into the Orc. The Orc clawed at Olivia as she released her grip on the sword. She palmed the sword, watching it go in deeper. The Orc coughed up blood as Olivia pulled the sword out.

"Are you okay?" Olivia turned as the Orc hit the floor.

"Keng!" Ritsuka grunted. He was already moving to stand as Olivia grabbed him and lifted him up.

"I want to help, too, but the leftovers are blocking me from getting them." Olivia told him. "It's like they're under so sort of synchronized rage."

"What do we do then?" Ritsuka pulled a health potion card out and watched it materialize into a potion. He uncorked it and drank it as psionic lightning bounced across the room. Liz was having trouble killing the Goblin Mage now. It was casting its magic quicker under the influence of this maddening Rage.

"This defies what Rage usually does!" Liz dropped to the ground, barely dodging another firebolt. She huffed as she pulled a Energy potion out and drank it. "I can't get a good hit off the final Mage! I think it's going to summon more help!"

"Ugh, I guess we need to focus on that." Ritsuka released Obsidian Glass and summoned the Eleven Bow. "Keep watch for me?"

"Mmm." Olivia turned to face two Hobgoblins running at them. Liz sighed as she tossed the bottle and shot two bolts of lightning at the Hobgoblins. Ritsuka pulled the bow and conjured an arrow.

"Make it count!" Evan shouted, slamming himself into one of the paralyzed Hobgoblin's Olivia had stunned. Manny flew in behind Evan, stabbing the Hobgoblin in the heart. Energy pulled from the Hobgoblin, creating more green lines onto Manny as he punched the next enemy, releasing the stored energy.

"Tornado Feint Shot." Ritsuka spoke the spell aloud. He released the arrow, watching six arrows fly out. Two arrows flew straight for their targets while the four rotated quickly around the two. The Mage released a couple frost bolts before quickly chanting another spell.

A frozen ice wall flew up as the tornado arrows collided with the frozen wall. A large grinding sound screeched as the wall cracked, shattering. The two arrows exploded the wall behind the Mage, tossing it forwards.

"Or we could do that…!" Liz pulled her energy inwards as she threw both of her hands out. "Psionic Beam!" A burst of purple energy flew straight for the Mage, killing it in an instant.

[All of the King's Men has died. +200 Souls! +350 Souls for killing them before the boss! Total Souls: 4,250/100,000]

Keng grunted as his tails pushed against the blade. His back was bloody with a large gash wound from the impact. He had barely managed to catch it as it touched his body. He struggled to push the weight off of him. The Goblin King's strength was nothing like he had seen from anyone. Keng's wounds quickly closed, bringing back some strength.

"You will die here today, Fox! I'll wear you like a fine pelt!" The Goblin King shouted.

"N-no, you won't!" Keng grunted. "I-I'll make sure your head goes for a… Suitable price!" The two screamed as Manny and the others turned to witness the struggle between the Goblin King and Keng.

"We gotta help him now." Manny told the team. They all turned as  Ritsuka summoned Obsidian Glass. "Liz, can you open a path?"

"I can try… Keng might get caught." Liz answered, nervously. The last thing she wanted to do was kill her own teammate — well, her teammate's lookalike.

"I'll do what I can, too." Olivia added. "I'll try to paralyze him for Liz to land a blow."

"I'll create a feint." Ritsuka told them. "I'll make him think it's me and hopefully that'll get the axe off of Keng and Olivia time to freeze him."

"Let's go!" Manny shouted. They rushed as the Goblin King turned, anger seething from his entire body.

"No you don't! RAAAA!" The Goblin King screamed.

[Fearful Warcry has been cast.]
