Chapter 252 - Dark Light of Eternal Dungeon: The Two Shielders
The [Monster Orb Release] was a skill of a monster where they release the full potential of their monster orb. This skill amplifies the strength of the monster several times and it doesn’t have a side-effect on their body.
The difference between the third evolution monster and the second evolution was so wide. It was because of the [Monster Orb Release] skill. Souta’s power was overwhelming for any second evolution monster but he always says that he couldn’t subdue a third evolution alone.
Why?
Because of this skill... A cheat skill of the monster race that terrified the human and demi world.
Even though Souta’s power reaches the realm of the B-rank, he still didn’t have the confidence to go against the third evolution monster alone.
This was one of the reasons why humans and demis formed a party to subdue a single third evolution monster. The overwhelming power of the third evolution monster couldn’t be compared to one or two B-rank adventurers.
Shiieeek!!
The giant spider shrieked as the energy in the air grew denser. A normal person would die in this atmosphere.
It then turned its attention towards the puny people who dared to invade its home. The spider was just living here without hurting anyone but this group of people attacked it suddenly.
Swoosh!! Swoosh!!
Brando and Finsi appeared in front of the spider and smashed their shields at its head.
Bang! Bang!
"I’ll join too!!" Jagret roared as he jumped in the air and his sword shoots a white beam towards the head of the spider.
Boom!
Evren, Ginvi, Lynn, and Lumilia casted their buff spells to support the three people who were in front of the giant spider. They focused their supporting spells on them as they needed it the most. Barrier spells, defense boosting, attack boosting, recovery, and heal.
Not just that, the three also drunk various potions that they’ve got in this dungeon. All of it was for them to take the front in fighting the third evolution monster.
Lumilia glanced at Alice and Yujin before she said, "I’ll leave them to you."
"Okay." Yujin and Alice nodded at her words before they brandished their weapons. Both of them dashed towards the giant spider.
Five people clashed with the giant spider in the center of the room. The two shielders were blocking the attack of the spider with the help of the spell from the mages.
They exchanged blows at high speed causing the ground to shake every time they collided.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Brando and Finsi were doing their jobs as tanks with everything they could. They were heavily injured every time they clashed with the spider’s attack but the mages healed them at the same time they took damage.
Becoming a meat shield was a painful job. They were the ones who received the attacks for their comrades in arms. Receiving injuries and healing then receiving once again. This cycle repeated for more than half an hour.
Their mental health was on the verge of breaking down. They felt that someone was torturing them.
Boom!
The giant spider fell down as Bryan and Donna managed to land a heavy hit at the joint of the spider’s leg.
"Attack!!"
Yujin, Alice, Jagret, and Charise jumped towards the head of the spider to crushed it. All of their attacks were focused on this spot so it became the weak point of the spider after taking hundred of attacks.
The giant spider looked at them and opened its mouth widely. A large concentration of best feram was gathered on it.
"It’s [Bestrou]! Prepare yourself!!" Lumilia shouted as she casted a spell to protect everyone. Lynn and the other mages also did the same thing.
"LEAVE IT TO US!!!"
Brando and Finsi jumped in front of them with their shields. Both of them took out a potion in their pocket and drunk it.
"Damn! This is the last potion that I have!" Brando cursed.
"Yeah, me too!" Finsi nodded at his words.
The ball of energy on the mouth of the spider expanded and shrunk before it fires towards them. A beam of best feram shoots towards the two shielders at high speed.
"Here it comes!!"
Various barrier spell appeared in front of the two shielders. Black tentacles stretched out from the ground and it covered the two shielders.
The beam collided with the barriers and it collapsed after a few seconds. The barriers were crushed like fragile glass.
After that, the beam disintegrated the black tentacles that were protecting the two shielders.
"ARGHHH!!"
Brando and Finsi screamed as they took the [Bestrou] with their shields. They tightly gripped their shields as if their life depends on it.
Ohm!
Suddenly, ten black balls appeared behind them. The black balls created a gravitational field around them to push the [Bestrou] away but it also didn’t last long.
While they were trying to block the [Bestrou], Souta and the other who have healing spells were using it on the two shielders.
"Forget blocking! Focus on changing the direction of the beam!!"
"Argh!!" Brando and Finsi used every strength in their body to deflect the beam.
Swoosh!!
They managed to change its direction as the beam flew towards the walls and exploded while Brando and Finsi flew in the opposite direction. Before they crashed into the walls, black tentacles caught them.
Still...
The explosion that was caused by the [Bestrou] devastated the entire room. This room was too small for the explosion caused by [Bestrou]. The entire room trembled and countless debris of rocks shoots in all directions.
Souta quickly cast [Shadow Bind] around the explosion to decrease its power but it easily disintegrated the black tentacles around it.
’Alophy, I’ll use some of your power.’ Yujin said in his mind. He gathered the spirit power in his hand and shoots it towards the explosion. Just like Souta, he wanted to decrease the power of the explosion. It was to avoid some casualties in their group.
"Everyone!!"
Lumilia commanded the mages to cast a barrier around the explosion. They drunk another mana potion and used their spells.
BOOOOM!!
Smoke and dust covered the entire room but it didn’t matter to Bryan and the rest of the attackers. They weren’t bothered by the blast as Lumilia and the other managed to contain it to some degree. No one was heavily wounded except for the two shielders.
"Let me hunt you down!!"
Bryan shouted as he cast a powerful tier 2 spell. Donna and Charise used their combat arts to injured the giant spider while Alice and Jagret executed their skills perfectly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The fierce battle continues...
"Yuko, join the battle," Souta said as he patted Yuko’s head who was standing beside him. He used [Agility Boost] and [Strength Boost] on her.
ROAR!
Yuko roared as she charged towards the giant spider without fear. She used the skill that Souta gave to her. The [Triple Muscle Strengthening] and [Cat’s Speed].
"Now, let’s see what should I do..." Souta muttered as he tightly gripped the vajra sword in his hand. He looked at his system and saw that he didn’t have that much mana and stamina.
This battle was draining everyone’s mana and stamina. If their potions last longer then they were going to win the battle but if they used all of their potions before they could kill the spider, then there’s no doubt that they were going to lose.
No, they weren’t going to lose. Yujin would be forced to use his spirit power before that happened and the same could be said for Yuko.
"Ah~ it’s troublesome. The earring is in the path beyond this boss..." Souta sighed as he took out a mana potion and drunk it. He turned his head and saw Lynn giving some health potions to Brando and Finsi. It was a matter of time before the two joined the battle once again.
"I really pity those who take tank as their role. I should make an effort in this fight too. Everyone is lively today."
He muttered with a sigh before he bent his knees. With a "boom" he launched himself towards the giant spider.
...
One hour had passed before they managed to take down the boss of this room, the White Jade Spider. A powerful third evolution monster but certainly was not the strongest among them. In fact, compared to the third evolution monster subordinates of Raeshka, this one was weak.
Everyone was laying on the ground as they were tired from fighting for more than an hour. This was their first time participating in a raid like this. Fighting a single monster for more than an hour was a brand new experience to these people.
"We won!" Brando said as he laughed lightly.
"Yeah, we won!" Finsi said as he glanced at Brando. He raised his fist towards Brando.
Brando looked at it before he smiled and bumped it with his own fist. He then laughed with Finsi.
"Hahaha! We won!! We hunt down a third evolution monster!! That damn monster!!"
In this battle, the two of them grew closer and felt that they became friends. They understand each other as they knew that they overcame a painful experience from taking all the damage of their comrades.
