Chapter 943 Grinding
-----
CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!
Zack and Luck's weapons clashed mightily against a furious Fishman King, which has been our foe for the last two weeks we've been coming here to intensively gain more and more EXP, everyone was already at their very last levels, except for me and Aquarina, obviously.
"RAAAH! [Divine Battle Axe Arts]: [Mountain Splitting Strike]!"
Zack's axes overflowed with his Mana and Aura, zapping with both electricity, and overflowing with windy gusts, clashing against the Fishman King's powerful trident, and shattering it in half!
CLAAASH!
"Gugoohhh…!"
The Fishman King groaned furiously as it saw its trident breaking, simply grabbing the other half and attacking Zack with both of them, only for Zack to appear right there, swinging his sharp claws, covered on a thin yet tough layer of gold metal, All Gaia's powers imbued into his hands!
"[Divine Claw Arts]: [Elemental Claw: Lightning & Fire Storm]!"
His two claws gained the element of Lightning and Fire, part of his newly acquired abilities and Skills, as he unleashed a devastating slashing attack by spiraling on midair, followed by multiple explosions of fire and lighting!
SLAAASH!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Grugaaah!"
The Fishman King stepped back in pain, its wound covering its body. However, its sharp wits quickly helped him get focused once more, several magic circles materializing in front of him, firing dozens of trident-shaped water projectiles against the two boys!
SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!
However, before it could reach them, the water hit an invisible barrier of energy which suddenly gathered the spell's components into a sphere of clear oceanic water, Aquarina appearing right below.
"Your Water Magic is not going to work, big guy." She smiled. "Here, take it back! [Divine Poseidon's Trident]!"
The oceanic water she had gathered suddenly took the shape of a gigantic trident, imbued with her powers, it suddenly began to freeze thanks to her Familiar, Leviathan's Frost Magic!
FLAAASH!
The trident flew towards the giant Fishman King, piercing his left shoulder and pushing him down into the floor!
RUMBLE!
His body was so large the entire dungeon trembled upon falling into the ground. The Boss was not done yet, he wasn't going to let these brats kill him so easily anymore!
"GRUGAAAH!"
With a furious roar, lightning emerged from his claws, as he swung them against them, countless explosive storms of electricity constantly emerged, shaking the entire hall where everyone was located in!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
The entire group was forced to retreat back, as I quickly waved my hands the moment the Fishman King was trying to stand back up, several invisible spiderweb threads made him trip into the ground again, while others wrapped around his arms and legs, sticking him into the floor.
"[Spider Queen Threads]: [Invisible Threads]"
I had been practicing this Skill for a little while now, enough to give me the ability to temporarily restrain foes and make them occasionally trip into the ground and get stuck into the floor.
"UUGGHH…!"
However, the thread wasn't just that, as it was constantly draining the fishman king's energies, making him considerably weaker, this was the Spider Queen Thread's unique ability!
"RAAAH!"
The Fishman King suddenly opened his shark-like jaws, unleashing a beam of pure concentrated Mana towards us!
"Oh, so it's that variant." I laughed. "[Void Wielding Arts]: [Redirecting Void]!"
FLUOSH!
A black void emerged in front of me, shaping itself into a black hole that redirected the entire beam into another void I created right above the Fishman King, my current limit of two Void Portals at once was coming in handy at long last!
BOOOMMM!!!
"GRYYEEEH…!"
The whole explosion of energy injured the Fishman King severely, but it actually freed him from the spider threads, quickly making him go into a rampage, as all his Mana erupted into a boost to all his stats.
It wasn't the Berserk Variant's levels of stat buffs, but it was still rather dangerous if we were to take a hit of that undefended!
"Now!" I called the rest of my friends.
"Mister Jester! Mister Teddy!"
Celica called her two strongest golems, two enormous beings, one resembling a reptilian-like jester and another a huge bear appeared to the right and left side of the fishman king, pushing him back, using their almighty physical strength to tank his angered attacks.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"Let's see…!" Celeste giggled. "[Demonic Shadow Abyss Spear Arts]: [One Hundred Abyssal Spear Storm]!"
Her single Cursed Spear, which possessed some sort of accursed soul and made it a living weapon, harnessed her powers, dividing into one hundred illusions of itself, materializing through the sheer amount of Mana she imbued into the weapon.
"I'll show you guys that I've grown stronger too!" Mist said. "[Celestial Light Bow Arts]: [Heavenly Arrow Rain]!"
Mist pointed her bow into the skies, as her arrows absorbed her magic and divided into almost a hundred arrows made of holy light, descending towards the Fishman King at the same time as Celeste's Spears!
"GRAAAH!"
The Fishman King fought desperately to not get hit, hitting both golems and pushing them away, only to provoke Lara and Celica to act once more.
"[Phantasmal Magic]: [Phantasmal Legion Fusion: Soul-Sealing Chains]!"
Celica combined several phantoms she had stored within her very soul, a new ability she possessed which she had discovered not so long ago, combining them into chains that wrapped around the Fishman King's soul, weakening him severely.
"[Spirit Scepter Arts]: [Spiritual Blazing Freezing Fire Storm]!"
Lara combined the powers of Fire Spirits, Ice Spirits, and Wind Spirits together into her Spirit Scepter Arts, unleashing a devastating blast of spiraling winds composed of freezing flames over the Fishman King, restraining him even further, while constantly damaging his defensive scales!
At the same time as that happened, the projectiles from Celeste and Mist landed on his body, piercing it hundreds of times, he perished rather quickly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"GRYYAAGGHH…!"
The Boss Monster finally collapsed into the ground, splattering the floor with blood and guts… EXP quickly flowed back into everyone, as I receive the notifications of most of my friends finally hitting Max Level!
