Chapter 796 Against The Ruler Of The Swamp!
-----
SPLAAAAASH!
"GROOOOAARRRRR…!"
A gigantic chimeric beast surged from the depths of the Swamps once we've defeated mostly all small fries, didn't took more than half an hour. Well, if we didn't had to babysit Luck a bit, we could had done it earlier.
These monsters are nothing compared to the Demonic Beast Swarms we've been fighting for a while, and even those guys get easily massacred by us, its just that their numbers are ridiculously high.
However, a hundred or almost two hundred Tier 5 Monsters are nothing now. We've come a long way in just a few years… But we have yet to truly reach the peak.
Ding!
[The {Miasmic Swamp Ruler} has emerged from his underwater nest!]
[The [Miasmic Demonic Frog King (Tier 7: Rank 3)] is furious over his domain being invaded by outsiders and cannot tolerate this any longer!]
"GRUOOOOHHHH…!" The giant Miasmic Demonic Frog King roared, furiously swelling his giant throat sack as if trying to intimidate us. From his body, a strong aura that weakened us began to be exuded, toxic for most living beings.
"Ugh…" Luck muttered. "W-What is this aura? Cough…!"
"Oh no, you can't just do that, froggy." I giggled. "Luck here is our special guest after all. We can't have him getting weakened like this before he can even defeat his first Tier 7 monster, can't we~?"
Swiftly, by combining the powers of Ignatius and Naturia into my body and imbuing their spiritual powers into my Aura of Heavenly Sun, I brought upon the might of the Yggdragon's Aura.
FLAAAAASH!
Ding!
[The [Miasmic Demonic Frog King (Tier 7: Rank 3)] very presence exudes a toxic miasmic aura, weakening all of your Stats by -10%, and your HP Regeneration Speed by -50%!]
[However, such Aura is instantly cancelled by your much stronger [Yggdragon's Double Aura]!]
[You have activated the [Yggdragon's Guardian Spirit Aura]! The power of the Yggdragon's Guardian is encompassing your allies.]
My Aura shaped into green and nature spiritual energy, wrapping around my allies, especially our rookie Luck. His defensive stats improved instantly.
"{Antidote}!" Mist said, healing Luck of his poisoned state in a second.
FLAAASH!
"Wow, thanks!" Luck said in surprise. "You guys are all so awesome… So this is what Lara was always saying, about having a reliable party of friends…"
"GRUOOOHHH!" The Frog, however, wasn't going to let the boy finish his monologue, instantly charging towards him with a fast leap, pointing its sharp horns towards him!
CRAAAAASSSSHHH!!!
However, a shield made of darkness and spiraling water surged in front of him, alongside a shield made of light, as Aquarina and Mist combined their magics to stop the Tier 7 beast.
"Ungh…! S-So fast…!" Luck was surprised. "I couldn't even react on time…"
"Seems like you're still a bit impacted from all your traumas, but you've gotta free your mind a bit, Luck." I said. "Concentrate in what's in front of us instead of constantly trying to compare what's happening to what you've lived, or remembering Lara. Concentrated in the fight, in the present!"
One of Luck's worst flaws was that he was always thinking and overthinking things, must be a result of his various traumas, and of how powerless he felt when he lost his brother, as he told us, and even more with Lara… I can understand his pain, but that's not going to help him improve.
"A-Ah…" Luck realized the truth. "You're right… {Divine Beast Transformation}!"
FLAAAASH!
The roaring Divine Golden Tiger merged with Luck's body, as his appearance took a drastic change. We all felt amazed to see his Hero's power in action at long last. And it was just as awesome as I predicted.
His black fur turned golden, with black stripes. His wolf-like ears became tiger-like, and his eyes glowed golden, while his hands gained big claws and fur, and his aura exuded the power of a Divine Beast!
"Alright Luck! Time to get serious!" The Golden Tiger roared within his body.
"Yes, we'll do!" He roared. "Everyone, can you cover me?!"
"Sure!" I nodded. "Everyone, stay alert!"
"Alright!" Luck roared. "{Divine Beast Magic}: {Golden Tiger's Rapid Legs}!"
FLAAAASH!
His legs suddenly gained a burst of divine power, as he rushed across the swamp at immense speed, leaping over the frog's head in a mere second.
"{Divine Beast Magic}: {Golden Tiger's Bloody Claws}!"
Swinging his giant golden claws at the frog's head, he unleashed several slicing blows at once, covering the beast with deadly wounds.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"GRUUOOOOHHHH!"
The Frog furiously leaped away, and then opened its jaws, letting out of its giant and long tongue, which ended on a sharp, spike-covered, and blunt-like end!
CLAAAAASSSSH!!!
"Unnggh…!" Luck groaned in pain as he used his claws to intercept the blow, being thrown down into the floor.
BAAAAAMMM…!
"{Revitalizing Healing Light}! {Body Reinforcement}!" Mist said, quickly conjuring healing magic on Luck, and helping him recover the damage he took in seconds.
"Oof… Thanks a lot, Mist." He groaned, slowly standing up only to see the giant Frog King above his head, about to swallow him whole!
"{Yggdragon's Wrathful Tyrant Aura}!" I roared, as the manifestation of Ignatius fused with my aura emerged, roaring.
"ROOOOAAARRR!" His gigantic fists surged like meteors. "{Dragon Fist Meteor}!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASSSH!
"GRYYYYAAGGH…!"
BAAAAAMMM…!
Being blown away with several giant draconic punches, the giant frog king fell into the swamp and rolled over the slimy liquid, coughing blood, and glaring at us with fury.
"GEROOOO!" Furiously, it summoned hundreds of magic circles, firing powerful beams made of darkness against us all at once.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Of course, that wouldn't be near enough, as we defended from such blows masterfully, while Luck stepped back and began evading the attacks, at the same time, Zack and Aquarina attacked the frog from behind.
"{Divine Oceanic Dagger Arts}: {Poseidon's Trident}!"
"{Divine Battle Axe Arts}: {Mountain Splitting Ax}!"
CRAAAAAASSSSHHH!!!
Their combined blows impacted the frog's back, throwing it away into the airs, as its entire body was tattered, and covered on wounds! However, the bastard was already beginning to recover from such wounds in mere seconds.
"Luck!" I commanded. "Finish it off!"
"ON IT!" Luck roared, charging all the power he held. "{Divine Beast Magic}: {Golden Tiger's Divine Step}!"
FLAAAAAASH!
Using the power of his Divine Beast, he reached the skies in a single second, his claws pointing at his target!
