Meanwhile, Yuki, Hector, Ruby, Pekora, and Tisha, who made up the party I bought with me were all together fighting against the monsters as their own team, supporting each other.
"Come at me you bastards! There's more of this where it came from! Nyahahahah!" Yuki laughed, swinging her giant claws, and tearing apart dozens of monsters at once.
Yuki once more channeled her White Tiger Beast Spirit and transformed into a half white tiger beast woman, fighting surprisingly well underwater with devastating claw slashing attacks swift kicks, and powerful ice magic.
"Oh man I've never fought underwater! It's already weird that I can breathe underwater somehow…" Hector said nervously, swinging his spear and piercing several foes at once.
Hector used he improved and evolved Light-Branded Blessed Golden Spear which had now become a Heavenly Light Spear, amazingly compatible with his magic and divinity, to blast everything with consecutive piercing attacks. There were also his Valkyrie summon, some sort of materialization of his own divinity that protected his back and healed him from time to time.
I have yet to truly figure out the nature of this power, but I've heard that human magic often involves angels if they're ever light attribute, which is the majority, and they tend to have "guardian familiars" which might be similar to spirits in some ways, but stronger and much easier to control.
"They keep coming… Well, it is convenient that the dream has made you guys so realistic, I've got plenty of blood to work with!" Ruby said with a smile.
She began swinging her hands while channeling all the blood around. As she cut down the monsters with her Vampiric Queen Claws, she absorbed their blood and used it to conjure devastating tornadoes of blood and blood explosions, which spread even more sharp hardened blood projectiles everywhere.
"Hey this is super easy! The water around us just makes it even easier, we can just freeze it all up!" Tisha laughed.
The Ice Elf was the happiest of the bunch, her giant blade completely decimated everything around her with each of her powerful swings, cutting and freezing her targets and then constantly making a mess of everything else.
"It's hard to fight underwater, I don't know how can you get it right!" Pekora in the other case was struggling.
Her Magic was powerful but in this enormous oceanic surroundings, it wasn't that strong without proper ground to utilize to summon her plant and earth magic which she was quite proficient at. Tisha was thankfully guarding her and protecting her for the most part.
Nonetheless, with everyone's cooperation, the battle was turning into our favor really quickly. And thanks to Belle's combined dream magic with mine, we were able to weaken and distort the dream to become more bearable.
Ding!
[The Trial is beginning to reach its climax! The powerful [Trial Boss]: [Tyrannical Shark of the Dead Seas (Rank 9 Middle Stage)] is beginning to unleash its true powers!]
[A powerful [Intimidating Aura of the Tyrant of the Seas] is spreading around!]
[All of his foes receive a penalty of -30% to their Magic Power and Defense.]
[All of his allied forces receive +30% more Magic Power and Defense.]
[Remaining Trial Time: 12 Minutes.]
"GRUOOOOHHHHH!"
The furious Boss suddenly unleashed a powerful roar, which spread across the seas. All of us without exception received a nasty debuff, while his allied forces gained enhanced magic power and defenses.
"AAAGH, YOU DAMN SHARK!"
Aquarius suddenly began growing more furious and desperate. Sapphire and I protected him at all costs, while unleashing magic and weapon attacks, until we finally made our way in front of the Boss. The rest of my allies were all fighting and pushing themselves to their limits.
"RAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
Aquarius rushed forward, attacking the giant half-shark and half-octopus abomination, his small dragon fists hit the beast's face only to deal almost no damage.
BAAAAM!
"GRAAAAHHHH!"
The beast furiously opened its jaws, about to swallow the young Ocean Dragon whole.
"Aquarius! [Abyssal Cursed Chains]!!!" Sapphire desperately rushed forward, conjuring her powers as thousands of gigantic chains made of curses emerged one after the other, wrapping around the monster's giant jaws and stopping them from closing.
FLUOOOOSH!
CLAAANK!
The sound of the sharp fangs trying to bite through the chains was loud, spreading like shockwaves around the ocean. Several of the monster's tentacles emerged to fight against Sapphire and quickly defeat Aquarius.
However, a gigantic silver and red-colored spear flew directly towards the tentacles, piercing and slicing them apart alongside an equally enormous sword of black and red color.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"Gryahahahha! Take that you damn abomination!" Skadi laughed evilly, moving at an incredibly fast speed and piercing the giant monster constantly.
"We won't let you harm them!" Uller said, slicing apart countless tentacles and fins, alongside beginning to stab and slash the beast's body.
"Master, I'm glad to have been called for your aid!" The voice of the former Vampiress, Rose, echoed from within the bodies of Uller and Skadi.
Aside from the mermaid girl named like her, there was the Vampiress that I had defeated long ago, turned into a ghost, and then ended evolving into a divine spirit after a long journey of self-discovery in the Frost Queen's Tower of Trials.
Her powers had increased widely through our journey, and since her evolution into a Divine Spirit, she acquired amazing powers while combining both spiritual abilities and ghost-like powers together.
She had evolved from a Blood Ghost to a Vampiric Ghost and lastly to a Divine Blood Vampiric Spirit, her current and strongest form so far, at the current Rank of 8 Peak Stage, she used her powers of [Possession] to use both weapons as her vessels, easily dividing her phantasmal body and enchanting their power through the roof.
"[Spiritual Blood Rose Garden of Suffering]!"
Rose laughed evilly, as she combined her powers with Skadi and Uller, conjuring a powerful spell and technique as their auras converged into a domain surrounding the beast, resembling a garden filled with red roses which then transformed into thousands if not millions of spears and swords piercing all over the Boss!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"GRUUAAAAARRRRHHHH…!"
[The [Trial Boss]: [Tyrannical Shark of the Dead Seas (Rank 9 Middle Stage)] Health has dropped below 20%!]
[The [Trial Boss] is entering into a Berserker State!]
[Its Magic Power, Speed, and Defense has increased by +100%]
[Remaining Trial Time: 7 Minutes.]
