Chapter 543: Battle with the Spirit Beasts (4)
The fierce fight between Allen and the Spirit Beast continued.
After many transformations, the Spirit Beast looked like a lizard that walked on two feet now.
It had a muscular body, and large claws that were many meters long.
"Merus, let's attack together!"
Allen charged in straight ahead at the Spirit Beast.
'Right, I go from behind then.'
Merus rushed at the Spirit Beast from behind.
'Kyuroro!!'
'Ghah?!'
The Spirit Beast turned around and slashed at Merus with its claws, but that was merely a distraction. From a different direction, Makris attacked.
'Freeze Cannonnn!!'
Makris used his Special Skill [Freeze Cannon] on the Spirit Beast.
'Kyuru!'
The Spirit Beast easily smashes the large icicle apart.
"Spectral Explosive Attack!!"
While the Spirit Beast had its claws on one side, Allen used Graham's Special Skill [Spectral Explosive Attack], digging his sword deep into the Spirit Beast.
(But it's still not dealing a lot of damage.)
Allen had been chaining attacks like that until one landed, but the strategy was less effective now.
"Allen?!"
"I'm fine."
Since he had gotten so close, the large claws swung his way, but he successfully dodged.
While everyone looked at Allen, the Spirit Beast walked back to the center of the cave.
The Dew of Life was dripping down from the cracked ceiling there.
"I won't let you! Blizzard!!"
If the Spirit Beast drank the Dew of Life, it would heal completely. Cecile tried to plug the hole on the ceiling with ice magic, but the Dew of Life just absorbed the Mana and dissolved the ice.
The Spirit Beast grinned and went to drink the Dew of Life, which quickly made all the wounds it suffered disappear, while its muscles swelled up and became stronger.
'Kyuro kyuro!!'
The Spirit Beast grinned, assured of its victory.
After a short wait, it turned to look at Allen again, ready to continue the fight.
"Seriously, we can't win anymore!!"
(The Spirit Beast looks so confident… I guess things are finally getting tricky.)
They had seen that happen many times already.
There was no way of getting the Spirit King's Blessing to continue for much longer.
The Spirit Beast took a deep breath, inflating its chest.
'It'll spit poison again, stand back!!'
The Great Spirit Mouton shouted as his body swelled up, and everyone hid under him.
'Kyurorororororo!!'
The Spirit Beast spat a black mist, which filled the entire cave.
'What powerful poison, I can't stop it?!'
Mouton had tried to neutralize the Spirit Beast's poison with his own, but after the Spirit Beast gained so much power, he could no longer deal with it, and he could only scream as his body began to boil.
"<em class="chakra-text css-0">Cough cough!"
Everyone used the Heaven's Blessings and Aromatic Vegetables they had, neutralizing the poison that made it through Mouton and healing back.
(So it heals completely and then gets even stronger. The poison is also so strong that Mouton can't handle it anymore, and the water of the crater still hasn't dried up.)
Kuwatoro was checking the level of water outside, and saw that it was slowly going down, but it was nowhere near depleted.
"We need to think of something new. Hm? Someone's coming."
Cecile knew that they needed a change of plans. But then she felt someone running towards them through the corridor behind them. I was Formar, who they thought had died.
"Formar!!"
Cecile had watched his body dissolve into nothingness, so she shouted in shock.
Everyone else also looked surprised, but Formar calmly grasped his bow like always.
(His bow and gloves look different?)
His robes were the same he had before, but the gloves that went up to his elbow and bow were new.
He channeled all his Mana and aimed at the ceiling of the cave.
"Divine Technique Activation, Serene Stillness"
The glowing arrow he shot hit the ceiling and illuminated the cave, erasing all the poison.
(Somehow he came back way stronger. What happened to him?)
The Spirit Beast glared at Formar, while Allen and the rest ran up to him and checked his stats on the Grimoire.

His stats showed he was in Extra Mode, and he had the Great Spirit God's Blessing.
His Level and Skill Levels were still the same, but his Skills were in Extra Mode.
He also had 3 Divine Techniques, and a wooden bow Allen had never seen before.
"Formar, what else can you do?"
Formar seemed to already know how to use his new abilities, so Allen asked him that.
It was important to form a strategy around that.
"Give me some Magic Stones. S Rank ones if possible."
"Here, is this enough?"
Allen quickly took out a pile of S Rank Magic Stones from his Grimoire, which fell on the ground.
"They'll roll away like that…"
"Don't worry about that. Infinite Quiver, give me powerful arrows."
Luck tried to pick them up, but Formar told him that was not necessary.
"Wha-?!"
Luck stared in shock as the Magic Stones began to float and vanished inside Formar's chest.
The 10 Magic Stones turned into 10 arrows. That was the effect of [Infinite Quiver].
Formar picked one of the arrows and placed it on his bow.
"Are those arrows really powerful?"
"We'll see in a bit. The perfect target is right over there."
"True Thunder Shot."
Formar shot the arrow at the Spirit Beast, wrapped in lightning as it flew.
'Kyuru?!'
The Spirit Beast crossed its arms to block, and while it was blown back a few meters, it did not seem to have taken much damage.
"That didn't work at all! You don't have anything stronger?!"
(Oh? So that's the power of his Thunder Shot. Wait, maybe…but no, I need those for the lottery.)
Luck did not look very pleased by the damage, but Allen thought differently.
"Allen, give him Spirit Crystal Stones. Give him all the ones you got from Demigod Rank ghosts."
"Huh?"
"Don't act like that! I know you have 3. Get them out already!!"
Cecile also knew what had to be done. If S Rank Magic Stones were so powerful, then Spirit Crystal Stones would be even more. Spirit Crystal Stones from Demigod Rank ghosts were at least 10 times stronger than S Rank Magic Stones.
"Okay, use them carefully."
Just like before, they fell out of the Grimoire and rolled on the ground.
"Alright. Infinite Quiver."
The 3 Spirit Crystal Stones turned into glowing arrows.
"You can turn them back, right?"
"Probably not."
Allen decided it was best to not complain that they did not need 3 arrows like that.
"Allen, I'll distract it with magic."
Cecile wanted to create an opening for Formar to shoot better.
"Hm? Oh right, in that case we can try out a strategy we haven't used so far."
"Luck, Sophie, I'll explain really quick, so just follow the plan."
"Okay."
"Sure, let's do it!"
They all looked at the Spirit Beast again.
Now that Formar was back, the tides of battle were turning again.
