Vol. 5 - Chapter 286 - Revenge For the Taken Down (?) Zephyr and the Full Burst Plus Ultra of Girl's Camp!
"Everyone be ready for battle as soon as you get off the carriage, ‹Appeal›! Lana, put buff on everyone!"
I jumped out of the ‹Thunder Javelin› as soon as I confirmed the wandering boss.
Lana, Rika and Karua have yet to come out of the carriage and Ester can't fight properly while equipping the carriage.
It only left me to deal with it, so I quickly earned its aggro and changed its target from Ester to me.
"Tremble! Tremble! You're trembling!!!"
"«Guard Rush»!"
The wandering boss ‹Spooky Bear-cum-Armadillo› quickly turn around and made its attack. I recieved it with a defense skill.
Wandering boss weaved a series of hook punches skill from left, right, left ‹Shiver • Tremble • Bear punch› which I easily defended against using ‹Firmament Shield›.
This time, there was no jab from me like why the hell it's ‘Bear Punch’ when you're an armadillo. For the first time, the boss actually looked like a bear with only an armadillo shell on its back. Except the back part, everything about it was screaming ‘I'm a Bear’.
In fact, it only had a bit of an armadillo part so I wanted to make a retort where the heck is armadillo! Why was it even named ‹Spooky Bear-cum-Armadillo›!
"You're shiveringgggg!"
"I'm not! ‹Sonic Sword›!"
I used the slashing skill that incorporates quick movement.
I easily avoided the incoming ‹Shiver • Straight Punch› using the skill, made a turn and slashed at its back.
"Shiver!?"
"I got you! Get ready, ‹Brave Sword›!"
"Shiveeeeer!? Shiver!?"
Wandering boss quickly turn around towards me from receiving continuous attacks
Great, I have now pulled it away from the carriage. I guess I have also levelled up my skill as a player huh, fuhaha!
I can't even count how many times I have encountered a wandering field boss in the wild in the time I played the game and from there I have learned to prepare as quickly as possible to earn the time.
I have experienced the whole party annihilation many times precisely because of such type of surprise attack. Using all of my experience, I'm going to earn the time for everyone to get ready!
For ‹Brave› is the one who stand out when the other is in trouble!
Now is the time for me to show the almighty power of ‹Brave›!
"Sorry for the wait, Zephyr! But fear not, the main character has entered the fray! ‹Divine Protection›! ‹Healing Prayer›! ‹Blessing of the Guardian Dog›!"
"Sorry Zephyr, to make you wait. I will quickly switch its target, ‹Body Double›!"
And the stage of ‹Brave› was over before it even had the chance to begin.
Huh? It's funny. I was just about to enter super duper fired up mode, but the target had changed. No, not that I mind. Holding the wandering boss until everyone were ready was the goal in itself. I'm not disappointed or anything!
"‹Sword Attribute • Fire›! ‹Quick Strike›! ‹Shine Lightning›! ‹Lightning Burst›!"
"W, woah Zephyr!? Target will shift to you if you follow up with so many strong attacks!?"
Rika raised a perplexed voice when I immediately followed up with my full power attacks.
I'm just venting! I'm just venting out!
Just be down, you fake bear! Wait, was it a fake armadillo!?
Gah, I really don't get what it's true face is!
"Shiver!"
I missed the timing due to momentary confusion which gave the ‹Bear-cum-Armadillo› chance to turn around.
??Ah, I'm completely on its radar.
"Shiver!!"
"Argh!?"
‹Bear-cum-Armadillo›'s fist caught me the moment that thought flashed past my mind.
" "Zephyrrr!" "
‹Bear-cum-Armadillo› nonchalantly shook its fist, as if saying that it didn't even hurt. I guess I was most likely blown away by it's skill ‹No fear • Cut Upper› as my body dances in the air.
I could hear the concerned overlapped voices of Lana and Rika.
"Ack!"
And I fell headfirst on the ground. Uh-huh, I'm even in down status now.
It was the first time I get down status after coming to the real ‹Dungeon Activity›.
Damn, I was feeling the same kind of whole body stiffening I feel after using a unique skill. So that's how down status feels!
"Y, You, how dare you did this to Zephyr! I am going to make you mincemeat! ‹Shining Sabre of the Sacred Light›! ‹Rise of the Sacred Tree›! ‹Light Blade›! ‹Divine Pillar›!"
"You bastard, get ready! ‹Shogun's Burst› ‹Flame Slash›! ‹Ice Strike›!"
"Shi-Shi!?"
"Hn! What happened to Zephyr?"
"Karua, Zephyr is taken down!"
Hey, I can still fight you know!? I'm just taken in by down status!
Lana said such an outrageous line to Karua who came later.
"Come this way, Karua! We're going to smash it!"
"Hn. Definitely smash it. ‹Force Sonic›! ‹Scale Break›!"
Karua took out her dual daggers when Rika's serious voice called out to her and then performed a quick dance with four quick consecutive slashes followed up by a defence debuff skill.
"Ester! I allow you to use ‹Princess Knight›! Blast away the enemy of Zephyr!"
"E, err, yes! ‹Princess Knight Awakening›!"
Stop! Leave something for me to do too! What I'm going to do if you guys take it down so quickly!
And Ester, she still proceeds to use ‹Princess Knight Awakening› despite knowing I'm not taken down! There ain't no way I'm going to have my chance with this!
"‹Twin Swallow Flip›!"
"Shiver!?"
"There, ‹Vital Stab›."
"Shiverrr!?"
"Great work, you two! You put the boss into critical down! Blast it away, Ester!"
"I'm starting, ‹Long Thrust›! ‹Horizontal Flash Strike›! ‹Triple Shoot›! ‹Precision Thrust›! ‹Long Thrust›??"
"We're not going to lose either. ‹Parallel Slash›! ‹Cross Slash›! ‹Flash Point›! ‹Dark Sweep›!"
"Hn, I too with full power. ‹32 Stra Stream›! ‹Delta Stream›! ‹StarBurst Tornado›! ‹StarBurst - Rain Edge›!"
"Sh! Sh! Shive!...... Shiverrrrrr........"
"Ah......"
The HP of ‹Bear-cum-Armadillo› was soon reduced to the dregs and then zero by the time I recovered from my down statu. My eyes met with the round eyes ‹Bear-cum-Armadillo› the moment it was surrounded in effect.
Surprise and fear was running away in that pair of eyes. I could only pity this adversity of mine who managed to blow me away and yet met such demise.
I couldn't look for longer and averted my eyes; May heaven bless peace to the sorry soul of ‹Bear-cum-Armadillo›.
Eden vs Wandering field boss ‹Bear-cum-Armadillo›.
??I still don't get many things but it seemed like our win.
