"Oh, nice timing."
Raven mumbled in a rather impressed tone after seeing the Hell's Prisoner slowly falling forward because of Aoi's attack just now.
He's still on top of the head of the boss monster.
And Blake is protecting him against the Hell's Prisoner's attacks.
After all, Raven can't move while his magic, <Lightning Fury>, is still ongoing. Why?
It's because Raven is acting as a lightning conductor, he receives the lightning strikes that come out of his magic circle, then pass it through [Emmeranne], and finally makes it explode inside the Hell's Prisoner's head!
"We're done here."
Raven said to Blake who was behind him.
The duration of <Lightning Fury> just finished when Aoi's mana arrows reached the Hell's Prisoner's ankles and middle eye.
"Ugh... I can't move properly..."
Blake grumbled in pain.
He's covered in burns and he's feeling pain all over his body.
Some parts of his heavy armor even melted!
Well, that's to be expected as the Hell's Prisoner continuously sent fire aspect attacks at him and Raven.
Also, Blake was near Raven the whole time, so he was caught up a little by the lightning that struck down Raven.
Luckily though, he didn't sustain any serious injury.
Upon seeing Blake's condition, Raven aimed his left hand at Blake.
"<Come>"
Then with a simple command like that...
Swoosh-
"Woah?!"
Raven pulled Blake to him with the use of his skill <Psychokinesis>!
And when Blake was in front of him...
Tap-
"Eh?"
Raven grabbed him by the nape!
Swoosh-
He then regrew a pair of majestic black wings.
"Let's go."-Raven
Fwish– (f)reewe(b)novel
"FUUUUUUUCK!!!"-Blake
And Raven flew away from the falling boss monster with Blake!
*****
As that was happening...
-GRRRRRR..!
The Hell's Prisoner immediately noticed that the lightning strikes exploding on top of its head stopped.
But it couldn't even be happy because it's currently falling forward.
So the Hell's Prisoner extended both of its arms forward to stop their fall first.
Boom!
A pretty loud sound was produced as the Hell's Prisoner got on all fours on the ground.
-Kuurgh...
The boss monster then got annoyed, they were just resting a while ago when suddenly someone ambushed them.
Then now, they're being humiliated by bringing them down on their knees!
So as the Hell's Prisoner is in that awkward position...
-GRRAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
It let out an ear-bleeding scream!
FWAAAHHH~
Then crimson red fire covered his whole body!
The Hell's Prisoner looks like it's using Kaioken!
It's one of its skills, the <Flame of Hell>!
This skill lets the caster produce and control fire that came from hell, just like its name says!
This fire is said to be 20 times more hotter and deadlier than a normal fire!
And it is also said that this fire will even burn your soul upon being swallowed by it!
<Flame of Hell> is a strong skill so it couldn't be used indefinitely and for a long amount of time, it's also hard to control.
So the Hell's Prisoner decided to use the skill to protect their body with it and regenerate itself for the time being!
-GAGAGAGAGA!
The Hell's Prisoner laughed, it thought that they were currently invincible and no one can come even near them at the moment!
But then...
Fwish-
"This is kinda hot."
A person appeared in front of their right arm!
It was Alec!
He teleported in there!
-?!
The monster immediately noticed Alec, and it was surprised to see something come near them and not get burned!
And upon carefully looking at Alec, the Hell's Prisoner saw a similar crimson fire, raging around Alec's whole body!
"<Hallowed Flame Sword Technique>"
Alec mumbled, then the fire covering his sword got more violent and denser!
And with that...
"<Crimson Slash>!"
Swoosh-
Alec simply slashed diagonally down!
But his sword easily cut through the Hell's Prisoner's right arm like it was tofu!
Do keep in mind that Alec's strength was amplified because of his trait, <Heroic Past>. This trait increases his strength whenever he's fighting something 'Evil'.
Thud-
-GRAAAAAAHHHH!!!
The Hell's Prisoner's right arm fell on the ground and it screamed like a bitch!
Also, because of the pain, the concentration of the boss monster wavered!
Resulting in its skill, <Flame of Hell>, to weakened by a lot!
It was only for a second...
But that second wasn't wasted!
Bam-
Swoosh-
Eve, who's near Alec and the monster, kicked off the ground and jumped in front of the monster's face!
And as soon as she was there...
"<Defense Piercer>!"
Swaaah–
Eve activated one of her skills and boldly thrust her spear forward!
Swish-
And because of her skill, Eve's spear passed through the <Flame of Hell> that was protecting the Hell's Prisoner like it was non-existent, to begin with!
And her spear collided with the exposed skull of the Hell's Prisoner!
BOOM!
-GUWARAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
SWAAAHH~
The Hell's Prisoner's whole head was shaken violently and its skull was even busted open!
And because of that, <Flame of Hell> was deactivated!
And the raging fire surrounding the boss monster's body evaporated into thin air!
And as soon as that happened...
"<Swift Water Sword Technique>"
SLASH-!
"<Graceful Slash>"
Curtis, who have been waiting for the right moment, swung his sword diagonally up, and cut off the left arm of the Hell's Prisoner!
-GURRRGH!!
With both of its arms cut off...
Bam!
The Hell's Prisoner's face fell forward and kissed the ground!
But even in that embarrassing position...
-GRAAAAHHH!!!
The boss monster's rage still didn't die down, instead, it got stronger!
The remaining 2 eyes of the boss monsters darted everywhere and glared at the 3 of them, making them freeze for a moment!
The Hell's Prisoner was emitting a strong murderous intent that even Alec, Eve, and Curtis hesitated to approach it!
"Wow, it's still that lively..."
Alec mumbled after seeing the Hell's Prisoner glare at him.
"At least he's tough."
Curtis then said.
(He's near Alec so they grouped.)
"KILL IT! FAST!"
But then, they heard Eve's hurried voice in a distance.
And instead of listening to her words...
"Huh?"-Curtis
"Eh?"-Alec
Both of them looked at where they heard the voice.
There, they saw Eve's frustrated expression written all over her face.
"It's gonna self-destruct, you idiots!"
Eve exclaimed.
And after hearing that, Alec and Curtis immediately looked back at the Hell's Prisoner.
And they were surprised to see its veins bulging out as if they were gonna pop!
They can also feel the mana near the boss monster rampaging!
It's really gonna self destruct!
"Fuck!"Curtis
"Oh no!"-Alec
Bam!
Alec and Curtis dashed toward the Hell's Prisoner as soon as they noticed that.
But they know they wouldn't make it in time!
'Shit shit shit shit..!'
'Fast fast fast fast..!'
Alec and Curtis nervously thought.
They were desperate...
-Grahhh...
But they can't reach the boss monster on time.
It's even looking at them with a devilish smirk on its face.
Swaaa-
The Hell's Prisoner's body then glowed, it was getting ready to explode!
"<Vicious Lightning Sword Technique>"
And that was when Eve, Alec, and Curtis heard a familiar voice up in the air!
And before they could even look at the source of the voice...
"<Cruel Slash>"
They heard the same voice again!
ZOOOOOM–
And it was followed by a fast black flash of lightning!
That same lightning stuck down the Hell's Prisoner's nape...
BOOM!!!
And produced an ear-deafening explosion that was followed by a thunderclap!
SWAAAHHH–
"KEUK..!"-Alec
"FUCK..!"-Curtis
"WHAT?!"-Eve
Alec, Curtis, and Eve, who was near the boss monster were slightly pushed back by the shockwave and debris!
And just a few seconds after, the situation died down.
Alec, Eve, and Curtis looked in front of them...
"..."
"..."
"..."
And they became speechless.
In front of them was the Hell's Prisoner... But its head wasn't attached to its body!
It was dead!
The Hell's Prisoner is still wearing its stupid smile, It wasn't able to react at all.
And in the small gap between its head and body...
There, Raven was nonchalantly standing.
Alec, Curtis, and Eve looked at him with complicated expressions.
And Raven soon looked back at them.
Then with a frown on his face.
"Are you guys angry that I took the last hit?"
Raven asked them.
