Chapter 544: Battle with the Spirit Beasts (5)
After a short meeting, Allen's group faced the Spirit Beast again.
(The Spirit Beast won't get away from the Dew of Life, but at least that allowed us to talk here.)
The Spirit Beast was clearly intelligent, knowing it would win if it never went away from the Dew of Life. It also realized Formar was strong, and only watched for his attacks.
On top of that, they needed to defeat the Spirit Beast for elves and dark elves to survive.
At least Formar's return had filled everyone with newfound vigor.
"Formar, you can start now."
Allen gave the signal to start.
"Alright, True Strong Bow."
Formar began drawing the Divine Artifact Spirit King's Bow.
(At least the distance is helping us now.)
Formar's Skill dealt more damage the more Mana he used.
'Kyuru…'
The Spirit Beast was clearly being wary of Allen's group. It had realized from Allen's face that they had a new plan.
"We're going to win here! Go Dark!!"
Luck shouted behind Allen.
'I got it. Darkness!!'
The Darkness Great Spirit Dark used all of Luck's Mana to spew darkness at the Spirit Beast.
That did not deal any damage, though it blinded the Spirit beast, so it rushed to get out of the darkness. But Sophie and Cecile were waiting for that.
"Lady Light, give me your strength."
The Light Great Spirit Light floated in the air while glowing, and took all of Sophie's Mana.
'Of course. Let there be light!!'
"I'm going too. Shining Laser!!"
Cecile and Light used light element magic to blind the Spirit Beast that had just been in darkness. Not being able to see anything, it just blindly swung its claws through the air.
"Light Arrow."
Formar shot a glowing arrow into the Spirit Beast's chest, matching Cecile and Sophie's attacks.
'Kyuba?!'
The Spirit Beast was busy fending off Cecile and Sophie's attacks and did not notice Formar's arrow, which hit straight into its chest and pierced into its body.
Seeing that, Allen also charged ahead.
(Good! Formar's arrow could pierce through the Spirit Beast's Endurance!!)
Light Arrow had been Formar's Extra Skill before, so it was a powerful Skill.
Now Allen was aiming at that arrow, using its power to enhance his own attack.
"Spectral Explosive Attack!!"
Allen jumped and used Graham's Special Skill on the Spirit Beast.
But the Spirit Beast had felt the arrow, and quickly protected its chest from further attacks.
There was a loud high pitched noise as Allen's attack was blocked by the Spirit Beast's claws.
(Hm?! It defended!! But I'll just use your claws instead then!!)
Allen used all his strength to push the claws onto the arrow, to push the arrow deeper.
"Gooooooooooooo!!"
Luck shouted loudly to cheer Allen on. Everyone knew they could win if they kept like that.
But then the Spirit Beast made an unexpected counterattack.
"Ghah?!"
The Spirit Beast turned around and swung its tail like a whip at Allen's chest.
It happened so fast that it took Allen some time to comprehend what had happened.
His orichalcum armor that had cracked from all the attacks so far, finally reached its limit.
Allen's upper body became exposed and his flesh was torn off.
"Master Allen!!"
Allen was flung away while spraying a large amount of blood, terrifying his friends.
'Kyuroro!!'
Meanwhile the Spirit Beast looked delighted, drinking more Dew of Life to deliver the finishing blow to Allen.
The Spirit Beast's muscles swelled up and became stronger, while its injuries healed completely.
It had looked like a salamander in the start, but now it looked well toned and muscular.
Allen slowly turned around and stood up.
"Allen, are you okay?!"
Cecile tried to take out a Heaven's Blessing from her magic bag to cure Allen, but Merus spoke through a Bird F summon with [Transmission].
'Stop! Don't heal Allen!'
"Huh? What do you mean?"
'Just don't do it, don't heal Allen no matter what. Otherwise we can't win!!'
"Why! He's going to die!"
Allen had deep wounds, but he checked the Grimoire.
(Hm, now I only have one fourth of my Strength left. I lasted this long thanks to my armor so I'll have to thank Habarak for it. But after I defeat this thing!!)
The hit had been so powerful that Allen would not be able to endure a second one.
But that fulfilled the conditions he wanted to meet, so he activated one of Graham's Skills.
"Warrior's Roar! Raaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
The Mana floating around Allen gained a red color.
[Warrior's Roar] could only be activated with less than one fourth of Strength left.
[Warrior's Roar requisites and effects]

The Spirit King's Blessing was also active, raising his stats more.
The Spirit Beast noticed Allen's state, so it shifted its focus to him.
(I'm really running out of options here. Time for the next strategy.)
Warrior's Roar was making his body feel like his blood was boiling.
"Formar, shoot one Spirit Crystal Stone arrow at the ceiling. Also use Lightning Speed to defeat it."
Formar quickly understood what Allen wanted to do.
"Alright, got it. True Metallic Arrows."
Formar used [True Metallic Arrows], which gave him more piercing power.
The arrow made of a Demigod Rank Spirit Crystal Stone pierced through the ceiling, and came out the other side through the crater before flying high into the sky.
"Hey, what are you doing?! The mountain will collapse!!"
The mountain had cracked from the Spirit Beast's attack earlier, and Formar's arrow made it crumble.
A torrential downpour of Dew of Life appeared in the center of the cave too, which filtered through the cracks on the floor and vanished.
"What's wrong? Try laughing again. Your precious Dew of Life is getting away, but we have more than enough healing items. Do you still think you can take your time?"
Allen grinned and provoked the Spirit Beast. He could see the water of the crater go down at a fast pace through Kuwatoro.
'Kyuru?!'
"Alright, time to do it! Spectral Slash!!"
Allen attacked the Spirit Beast as it looked around in confusion, but it still stopped Allen with one of its arms, making a loud high pitched sound.
'Kyururu!!'
Then the Spirit Beast swung the claws of its other arm at Allen's neck.
(Woah! That would've killed me if it hit. But I can see your movements.)
Allen had learned how to deal with the Spirit Beast.
The Spirit Beast's Agility was higher than Allen, and could attack with both arms, but Allen's Intelligence was higher, which gave him more power. He also had Swordsmanship at Level 9.
Their attacks worked in different ways, but they had ways to stop the other.
The Spirit Beast noticed it did not have much time left, so it hurried to end the fight with Allen.
"Sophie, let's hit the Spirit Beast too!!"
"Yes!"
Cecile and Sophie also started attacking from behind the Spirit Beast.
"Quick, slow down the Spirit Beast's attacks! And speed Allen up!!"
Luck also tried to help with the fight.
Formar activated his Skill [True Strong Bow] and waited for the right moment to use his Divine Technique [Lightning Speed].
The Spirit Beast and Allen only focused on each other, the sound of the claws and orichalcum sword clashing echoing through the cave.
Both had more than 100000 Agility, so it was impossible to follow their movements.
'What incredible speed! Everyone, use as many Mana Seeds as you can! Allen can't stop attacking now!!'
'Hihi!'
'Hihi!'
'Hihi!'
Merus ordered 20 Wraith A summons to use Mana Seeds to recover Allen's Mana.
They could not use Heaven's Blessings since those would recover his Strength.
Mana Seeds recovered 1000 Mana, so it was a total of 20000 each time, but Allen's Mana still kept going down.
Merus hurried to summon 10 more Wraith A summons to help.
Every time Allen used [Spectral Slash] he used 1000 Mana.
<em class="chakra-text css-0">Crack
A 10 meter wide rock came loose from the ceiling and fell towards Allen and the Spirit Beast.
The rock looked like it was falling in super slow motion compared to the fight, and they exchanged more than 1000 attacks before the rock completed its fall.
Even when the rock hit the Spirit Beast's head, they did not pay any attention to it.
Their countless attacks easily pulverized the rock and it was no threat to them.
The remains fell like sand amongst them, but even then the attacks heated them up until it all evaporated.
That was the power of stats above 100000.
"What's wrong! Is this all you have?! This is nothing compared to Nestiad!!"
'Kyuraaaaaaaaaaa!!'
The Spirit Beast screeched loudly in response.
(Hold out a little longer my sword, we'll soon break the claws.)
After the thousands of attacks, the claws and Allen's sword were filled with cracks.
'What a battle… I never expected a human would be able to fight like this against a Spirit Beast with the power of Gods.'
Even the Great Spirit God was impressed by the fight between Allen and the Spirit Beast.
