'Shit!'
Evan saw Eliza fall to the ground and his face turned white, seconds before he blinked towards her and grabbed her body, preventing her from falling to the floor.
'If she fell and lost consciousness, her barrier would be released, and I really don't wanna know what would happen in that scenario.'
His fear was natural as the only reason why the only thing reaching them was just the heat waves and shockwaves from the explosion, was because Eliza was keeping the whole thing contained with her barrier, preventing the flames of the explosion from spreading out on the ground.
She was constantly creating barrier upon barrier to prevent the flames from spreading out, her face pale as she instantly exhausted 70% of her magic power reserves all at once.
'Kayla!'
[I know!]
The spirit responded to Evan's call and recalled the lightning energy she had discharged, at the same time Amy recalled all her flame energy.
And just like a fire that had been put out, the explosion died down almost instantly, with the smoke and smell of burnt flesh being the only thing left.
Noticing this, Eliza released her barriers and the smoke that was contained within them spread out across the room in full force.
Within seconds, the entire room was engulfed in clouds of smoke, thick enough to suffocate someone to death almost instantly.
**WHOOSSHH!!
Pride activated her wind magic and created a small barrier that covered her, Evan and Eliza, protecting them from the smoke that filled the room.
"Evan..."
"I know, it is not dead."
Evan frowned as he recalled the name and description of the fourth skill that the boss monster possessed, the only thing that wasn't within his expectations.
'Tenacity, eh?'
Explaining the skill with a long description was unnecessary as its effect could be summed up in on single line;
It was a skill that made it VERY EXTREMELY difficult to kill the user.
Even if it was an attack that would normally kill the user, this skill would make it so that they would forcefully snap the jaws of death shut and still cling on to life.
Before Evan could even say anything, his blood ran cold as he felt an ominous wave of energy spread out across the room.
Even if he could not sense the activation of skills, that wave of energy was enough to tell him what just happened.
"Shit! It's in berserk mode!"
As soon as he said that, a large figure burst out of the cloud of smoke and easily smashed through Pride's wind barrier.
Evan didn't even consider the fact that he was still holding Eliza and reflexively activated blink, consuming nearly three times as much magic power than usual as he and the battle priestess moved through space.
The duo crashed on the ground a few metres away, while Pride instantly generated a whirlwind around her feet and propelled her body out of the way.
**BAAAMMM!!!!
Ocsuat's large body slammed into the wall of the boss room, causing the cracks across it to spread out further, however, the frost boar king could no longer care about that anymore.
"Super Cyclone!!"
Pride's voice rang out as the wind around the room gathered to form an enormous cyclone in the centre of the room, sucking up all the smoke in the room along with it and clearing up the area.
With this, Evan and Eliza had an easier time breathing, and they were now able to see clearly, enabling them to see the appearance of the frost boar king.
All the fur on its hide had been burnt off, revealing its flesh which was filled with numerous charred spots. In some parts, of its body, all of the skin and tissue had been burnt off, exposing its muscles that were not in a much better state.
Its long horns that it had probably once been proud of had been broken off completely, and one of its eyes had been burnt off completely, with the blood having evaporated completely due to the heat of the explosion.
Evan could catch glimpses of the monster's bone on its legs as it turned around unsteadily while glaring at them with its blood-red eye.
Unlike before when only its pupil was red, its sclera was also red, and its body was surrounded by a dark red hazy aura.
It stomped what was left of its fore legs on the ground, activating another skill as five magic circles appeared around it.
"This tenacious fucker!"
Seeing this, Evan shattered the potion bottle he had just drunk from in his hand while stretching out his other hand to call for his sword.
By the time the sword reached his hand, the light of the magic circles died down and five new frost boars were revealed, the household of the frost boar king answering to the call of its head.
The five newly summoned frost boars were about 2 metres in height and weighed about 500 kilograms each.
As soon as their summoning was complete, the creatures instantly charged toward Evan, Pride and Eliza, with each of them activating ice magic and launching dozens of ice spears toward their targets.
[Lighting Rose!]
Kayla's voice rang out as a rose of lightning appeared in the air, blooming in the next second as powerful lightning bolts dropped from it towards the charging frost boars.
The bolts of lightning landed on the monsters and launched them up into the air while dealing enough lightning damage that left them paralysed.
[Burn.]
Amy's voice followed as flames engulfed the lightning-covered monsters, mixing with the lightning and exploding as the five summoned frost boars all turned to chunks of meat.
Meanwhile, Evan had long dashed forward to help Pride deal with the frost boar king that charged right at her after summoning its household.
The young hero decided not to hold anything back as he engulfed his sword in his golden aura and launched multiple blade cannons, before blinking to the side of the monster and crouched as he gathered magic power around his sword.
He instantly sprang back up and activated vortex, thrusting his blade toward the monster.
**BAMM!!
The aura missiles slammed into its left side and knocked it towards the right a bit, just in time for the spiral-shaped mass of magic power to slam into the monster's right side and fling it into the air, making it a nice target for Pride who had activated her magic in earnest.
