142 Forsaken Labyrinth 5/6; Sand Wyvern High Overlord 1/2

[Day 132]

Because of the sudden thirst of love from my wives yesterday, I spent the rest of the day and night with them in a separate room on the dungeon that I previously cleaned and secured.

Everyone woke up quite early today and we were determined to kill the third boss of this dungeon.

Since we have entered, I've felt as we had gone several kilometers down. I don't really know how much does this dungeon extend bellow the ground, but I wouldn't be surprised if it leads to the Astral Road bellow the Realm.

According to the intel that my flying Flesh and Slime Minions alongside the maps made by humanity, it seems that the Realm of Vida is like a flat piece of land with a very vast size. I am just estimating but it could be as big as Earth if not twice as big… However, because everything is flat, things work differently.

I think about the Realms as gigantic floating islands in the middle of the "space" that it called Astral Road. However, because these "floating islands" are so massive, most of the intelligent life inside of them never discovers that there are more things on the outside. Because to see the Astral Road, one needs to climb the Icy Mountain Walls, which surrounds the entire Realm alongside the continent of Cretes, where I am currently in.

Will this dungeon lead to the Astral Road or another place inside the underground of the Realm?

I've sent my Flesh and Slime Minions to investigate the rest of the dungeon down below, and it seems that there are around 70 floors. I don't think I will be able to explore all of them before anything on the Athetosea Kingdom happens.

For now, we may kill this boss and then go back to the surface again. Things are getting heated on the Athetosea Kingdom. The Champion of Psychic Eyes seems to have taken some influence again and the nobles opposing her are becoming less and less.

I can't really spy what she is planning alongside the Champions, the Hero, and the King, but its probably something very fishy.

However, I still have ways to stop their plans. Alice has hypnotized more than 60% of Noble's houses by now, she can use this unified influence to force an internal war between the two sides at any time… So, its time to prepare for that and stop the Athetosea Kingdom to invade my place before it's too late.

Even I don't know if my people can handle more than five thousand soldiers, all the Elemental Knights, the Champions, and the Hero together into a gigantic raid. If I were to survive in the end, there would most likely be terrible casualties and some of my wives and close servants wouldn't be able to survive…

Because of this, I need to anticipate their plans and attack before things go to the worst. After the internal war, the Kingdom will be extremely weakened and I will be able to invade it or take control of it with enough planning.

After eating breakfast which was a delicious hotpot using several monsters of the dungeon meat alongside vegetables, we finally were ready to confront the third boss.

I believe that it will be harder than the rest, as the strength gap between bosses is very high.

As I stepped inside the boss room, I felt an incredibly dense pressure hit us all.

FWOOM!

As I raised my head, a shadow appeared from beneath the dungeon floor, covered on countless clay bricks and having rocky scales. It had one gigantic head filled with yellow and white teeth propounding from its jaw. It has six eyes, three on each side, and a majestic crown made of black horns. Its body was gigantic, over fifty meters tall.

Its was quadrupedal, but its front arms showed signs that it used to have wings, as its fingers were absurdly long, and were adapted into sharp black-colored blades made out of the monster bones and nails. It has a long and thick tail which ended on a shark-like fin. On the back of the monster's body, there was also another shark-like fin.

It looked at us with its intimidating six golden eyes as if were no more than an easy meal.

I quickly appraised this beast that was standing menacingly before me.

"W-What are these stats?! He's quite stacked, isn't he? And a High Overlord…"

As if analyzing my group, the Wyvern stayed still for a moment looking at each one of us, silently.

And then, suddenly, it disappeared.

Flash!

BOOOM!

As if it was able to teleport bellow the ground, the floor itself was burst into an explosion, as the gaping jaws of the wyvern attacked us, trying to eat most of my wives from bellow the floor.

"GROOOOWWWR!"

CRASH!

However, the Wyvern didn't count on Nesiphae and Valentia being there, who using their raw strength and several boosting abilities, managed to overpower the wyvern massive jaws as they managed to move away with the rest of my wives.

While this happened, I summoned fifteen [Arms of Demise] alongside my [Annihilation Eyes], who began to target the Wyvern while distracting it.

Suddenly, Nesiphae raised her gigantic Axe as she engulfed it on blazing purple flames that released a terrible and intoxicating poison and clashed it on the Wyvern's head, who only had its head over the ground while covering its body underground.

"Venomous Vertical Slash Barrage!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Like a complete mad demon, Nesiphae clashed her massive axe on the Wyvern head, in just a split second, she ravaged the boss head with all her strength, hitting it more than twenty times. Due to getting one of its eyes chopped, the Wyvern stopped playing around and yelled on anger, submerging itself bellow the dungeon floor underground once again.

I approached my wives and children as I conjured several buffs on them. I would have thrown my children outside of the room if it wasn't because of its sealed itself with a strong force that I couldn't move even after assimilating the door.

As the Wyvern kept swimming through the underground, hundreds of magic circles appeared out of thin air, bombarding us with different types of Earth Magic Projectiles. Because of the massive size of the magic circles, they were very hard to destroy.

Arming myself with my Six-Armed Wyvern Armor, Hydra Chimera Armor, and my Void Gemstone Armor, I enhanced them with my two orbs on my forehead and chest, successfully fusing their power into a brand new armor that resembled a majestic combination of the three, painted in purple, red and black colors.

Raising my weapons, I used my own aura to enhance my capabilities and movement speed, alongside this, I used [Light Speed Flight] and [Impossible Annihilation Rampage and Battle Style] to rampage the floor underground, looking for the wyvern.

BOOOM! BOOOM!

Using most of my strength I completely blasted the dungeon floor bricks as I rampaged inside of the underground while inspecting my environment, I quickly detected the wyvern who was already moving to my way to confront me.

"GRRROOOOOOOWWWR!"

The Wyvern swam at an incredible speed as if the ground itself was water. Suddenly, it opened its gaping mouth and threw a massive golden-colored laser ray, which seemed to be named [Relic Wyvern Protector of the Sands Earth-Defying Beam].

FLASH!

Trying to intercept such a massive amount of concentrated magic power, I manipulated my aura creating a shell, alongside this, I used crated three different layers of solidified magic and [Azure Heavenly Sand Oceanic Fortress] as the last layer, covering my entire body.

BOOOOM!

As the gigantic beam hit me at incredible speed, I couldn't resist its immense strength, which threw me several meters away through the underground. As the seconds passed, every layer of defense quickly began to shatter except my [Omni Elemental Spiritual Shield] which was constantly regenerating itself alongside my [Azure Heavenly Sand Oceanic Fortress].

To counter such a massive beam, I used one of my own, combining several spells using my [Metis Grand Library of Magic Knowledge], I conjured the spell [Chaos Magic: Omni Elemental Demise Cannon Beam], which showed itself as a massive multi-colored beam that was covered in dark energy. To my surprise, my spell was barely able to counter the beam, redirecting it to the left.

CLASH!

BOOOM!

After seeing how I was able to counter one of its strongest moves, the Wyvern decided to leave me for the last. While using its incredible speed, it swam through the underground while looking for my wives and children.

Suddenly, it jumped from the ground as it tried to chomp Brontes and Rimuru, however, the moment he closed its mouth, he was greeted with an incredible show of fireworks all over its jaw, completely shattering its gigantic fangs.

"GROOOOWWRR!!!"

The pain made the wyvern quickly vomit the two, who raised their weapons and attacked the boss with a myriad of amazing and flashy techniques. Rimuru used her Omni Spiritual Magic to create a rain of rainbow arrows as she flew around imbuing her sword with a blinding shining light, attacking the boss sturdy rock-like scales.

Brontes on the other side used her titanic strength to fight the Wyvern head-on, something that no one would ever try, except her and perhaps myself. Her body suddenly increased four times in size as she resembled a gigantic titan of thunder. Her weapon also increased its size to fit her new stature.

Brontes rushed towards the boss while covering her body with blinding thunder sparks that resembled furious coiling dragons, beginning to smash the Wyvern's belly and arms as the monster desperately tried to fend her off. Although several attacks landed on her, she resisted them all with her absurdly sturdy coper-colored skin.

Just as this was happening, the Wyvern quickly began to increase its power with multiple boosting abilities, which made my other wives step in.

Coming for the vanguard was Nesiphae with her flaming axe, she attacked the beast's back, which was incredibly sturdy and dense and could take more than one hundred of her smashes which contained all her strength.

While doing this, she also commanded thousands of [Magic Snakes] to entangle the boss tail as they started to explode multiple times, quickly accumulating damage on the furious Wyvern.

Suddenly, Zehe came from the air overlooking the Wyvern as she conjured one hundred magic circles herself, that began to shoot different types of Shadow Projectiles while affecting the gravity, making the Wyvern movements dull.

As my wives desperately tried to contain this absurdly strong monster, I quickly activated even more boosting abilities on my body and flew at an incredible speed through the underground, reaching the frontlines in less than five seconds.

FLASH!

Using my own aura, I molded until they resembled giant arms and began to punch the boss massive head with the assistance of my Arms of Demise. While this happened, I showered the boss whole body with hundreds of devastating spells, creating massive floods of thundering waters, tornadoes of ice, and annihilation infernos of lava and fire.

As the monster received all these attacks, it threw its destructive beams everywhere while conjuring Earth Magic and attacking with its gigantic blade-like fingers. However, because of my wife's incredible cooperation, they were able to avoid most of the attacks.

Meanwhile, Gaby and Aarae worked together to create a massive flood of water and blade energy, which surprised the boss from a very far away place. The attack, which used Gaby's [Legendary] weapon power, had devastating effects on the Wyvern, who was notably weak to Water and Ice Magic.

BOOOOOOM!

From the other side, Brontes used this opportunity to conjure a powerful blast of thunders into the soaked body of the giant Wyvern, electrifying its entire body. Even though it seemed to be immune to thunder, after being completely soaked and weakened, alongside Brontes's blessing, the damage ended up being of substantial proportions, even to the point of paralyzing the monster movements for a small time.

Adelle and Mady, alongside Charlotte, Lilith and Altani worked together, even though they were weak compared to my first four wives, they still showed their worth, using their magic and techniques in conjunction, protecting my children while surprising the boss with powerful and fast attacks.

Adelle fused her Holy and Light Techniques alongside Mady's Illusion and Water Magic, Altani Starlight Magic, and Charlotte's Magic Gun barrage, creating a powerful cannon of incredibly fast and penetrating Magic that also had the properties of hiding its presence. They targeted the boss's legs, making it lose its balance, giving more openings for the frontlines.

On the other side, Lilith joined forces with the enthusiastic Valentia and used their Earth Magic in conjunction to create several earthquakes all over the dungeon underground, making it hard for the Wyvern to hide beneath the ground as it was constantly collapsing and regenerating due to the dungeon regeneration powers, creating a complete mess.

Amiphossia was of great help, as she used her Phantasmal Magic alongside her Heavenly Medicine magic to spread healing mists around us, giving us temporal healing and increased regeneration rates.

However, even after all our efforts, the Wyvern was incredibly strong and used its massive amount of magic and techniques to overpower us, making some of our strategies useless. Alongside its ridiculous size, it moved everywhere while smashing and destroying the floor.

With Brontes and Nesiphae at my side, I used my utmost strength to tank the boss attacks as I chaotically multitasked to rain the beast with powerful spells that were supported by Zehe and Rimuru.

After discovering the boss weakness to Ice and Water, Rimuru quickly changed her magic attacks to be purely Water and Ice based, generating hundreds of floods made of freezing oceans. Alongside this, from time to time, Rimuru would use the magic she had concentrated on her sword to throw a massive freezing slash of water, which amounted to the damage dealt with the boss HP and also destroyed its powerful rocky scales.

Brontes used these opportunities to throw her Thunderbolts of concentrated red lighting on the boss, paralyzing it for a small moment.

At the third time that this has happened, I began to use my barrage of destructive attacks and [Ultimate Techniques], creating the illusion of several weapons, claws, and jaws falling over the monster incredibly dense head. When combined with my aura, these illusions made out of countless techniques would become slightly solidified, increasing their strength and size.

BOOM! CLASH! CRASH!

Because of the help from Lilith and Valentia's help, the boss had a very difficult time hiding beneath the floor and usually had to keep its entire body on the surface.

Even with its amazing speed, the boss had a massive body and this seemed to be detrimental to its movements, limiting the space that it was able to run away to.

Sometimes it would try to devour me using its gigantic jaw but I would quickly conjure spells inside of it, creating multi-colored fireworks that destroyed its internal organs.

Due to the monster having amazing regeneration abilities, it was rather hard to completely destroy its insides as they would regrow almost immediately, but it was good enough to cause some damage on its HP nonetheless, even if it was healed, the constant barrage of attacks from all directions and my variety of ways on using them slowly diminished its HP no matter its regeneration rates.

Suddenly, Nesiphae activated a skill that increased her size almost ten times, becoming of half the size of the boss, her axe also grew accordingly to her new stature. Using this new ability, she fought the boss head-on with the help of Brontes as they clashed and rampaged its front arms, managing to cut off its blade-like fingers that put all of us in a lot of trouble.

Although it could regrow them, each time it regrew new parts of its body, some of the monster Stamina would be permanently used, and no matter how much he had, there wasn't the possibility of the monster having infinite stamina without mental fatigue.

Due to this issue, the monster movements became dull and slower, while conjuring less Earth Magic.

However, as we thought that the bastard was finally in its last moments, something strange happened.

"GROOOOOOOOWWR!!!"

The monster conjured a strange holy spell that absorbed the power of dungeon itself, healing all its wounds and completely refilling its HP! Even more, it seems that the Wyvern strengthened itself due to the damage it took and developed resistances to our attacks, this also included Water and Ice Magic.

"To think that he had such a broken ace bellow its sleeve!"
