Chapter 144 - Boss Battle! 2
-----
The Great Windstorm Wyvern roared, flapping it's large, three meters big wings as it released gusts from within…
Flash! Flash!
Its body was around five meters tall, surpassing even Goliath by a bit. Its body was covered in azure and green-colored scales, with large and sharp talons that could easily tear iron apart. Its wings had green-colored membranes that helped it produce a gust of wind through the flap of its winds.
Most of the party was busy defeating the large waves of monsters coming from all around the room, so Ervas and Veronica decided to fight the boss alone and quickly finish it off!
However, this monster was the boss of this dungeon, and also a Rank 8 monster, a rank ahead of Veronica and two ahead of Ervas! Even with their Jobs to pump their strength, it was still a fearsome monster to fight against.
The Wyvern began to flap around while roaring, releasing gusts of wind from its wings, which flew like cannons made out of pressurized wind towards Ervas and Veronica in a similar appearance to a tornado.
Flash!
"A Wind Attribute Attack… Then how about this? Telekinesis Wave" said Ervas, releasing a No-Attribute Magic spell that he created by adding his Telekinesis Skill into its creation. The spell was simple and effective, it released a wave of telekinetic power that could be expanded by Ervas into a larger area as he used more Mana, and he had a lot to waste around.
Flash!
Making sure to not affect the rest of the people in the room, Ervas carefully used his Mana Control Skill to shape the Telekinesis Wave, creating a telekinetic force that fought against the pressurized wind cannons made by the Wyvern, usually making them dissipate within a second of being touched.
Boom! Boom!
However, each time he stopped one, explosions of magic would occur, alerting most of the people present.
"GROAR!" roared the Wyvern with immense strength, releasing an almost ear-piercing sound that unleashed waves of sound and wind.
"He's using his Scream Skill!" said Veronica, noticing that her Health Points were slowly depleting due to the vibrations of the sound produced through the Wyvern's Scream Skill, which gave it the ability to deal damage through the sound produced by its body.
"Telekinesis Barrier," said Ervas, unleashing two barriers made out of telekinetic power around the two as they flew towards the wyvern using the 'Flight' No Attribute Magic Spell.
"GROAARRR!"
The Wyvern roared once again, releasing large and transparent bullets of concentrated vibrations into the two, the bullets held immense destructive power despite being pure sound, making the Barriers of telekinetic energy crack many times as the two tried to catch the Wyvern.
"I also got some long-ranged attacks! Shadow Fear Rays!" shouted Veronica, as she unleashed a new Light Attribute Spirit Magic Spell that she made by merging her Aura of Fear into it, being able to conjure fear-inducing shadow blasts… of course such reckless blasts wouldn't be possible without Ervas supplying with his large Mana!
The Wyvern's speed was unmatched, giving it an easier time evading the two attacks, however, one of such rays managed to hit the Wyvern's torso, inflicting it with a large shock into its entire body. The Wyvern coughed as it could not unleash more Sound Bullet nor Pressurized Wind Cannons.
Although Veronica's Aura of Fear couldn't affect much those stronger or equally stronger than her, if enough Mana was infused into it, it would still be capable of slightly affecting targets, and if this was added into an offensive move, it could even paralyze an opponent for a slight amount of time, however, the effects were not lasting and the one affected by them could get used to the fear and not fall paralyzed so easily after one or two times.
"Blazing Javelin! Light Javelin!" said Veronica, generating Javelins through her Armory Skill, the one she possessed, which had acquired the ability to unleash slight amounts of flames.
The first Javelin was covered in flames, hitting the Wyvern's talon!
"GRRYAA!"
While the second one was covered in light courtesy of Shade, flashing at great speed towards the Wyvern, but it somehow managed to evade it in time… slightly. As its tail was pierced by it, leaving a deep wound that slowly recovered through the Wyvern's Rapid Healing skill.
"Spectral Tentacles, Telekinesis Barrier Coating"
At the same time, Ervas used this opportunity of the Wyvern being in a daze to extend his hands like phantasmal tentacles by transforming his flesh into a phantom through the Phantom Form Transformation Skill.
The tentacles flew towards the Wyvern like spectral javelins, while also being covered in Telekinesis Coating.
Flash! Flash!
The tentacles began to unleash penetrating attacks towards the Wyvern continuously, while the Wyvern evaded in midair after finally gaining its composure.
Some tentacles managed to pierce its flesh, seeping deeply and leaving large wounds that drained blood above the floor of the dungeon, much of the blood was drank by Ervas instantly, while he also used Life Drain and Mana Drain Skills into the monster to make it progressively weaker
"GROWL!" roared the Wyvern, retaliating back with a roar as it opened its jaws and unleashed a strong cannon of pressurized vibrations and wind!
Flash!
"Shit, Ervas!" said Veronica, as she moved at Ervas side and put her shield in front of him, expanding it many types while unleashing Shield Techniques.
"Impenetrable Wall!"
BOOM!
The pressurized cannon of vibration and winds clashed against Veronica's shield with a loud sound while Ervas helped her out with his telekinesis by coating the shield with it. The cannon quickly dissipated as the wyvern had to take a short break before firing another one.
"That attack was rather close," said Ervas.
"More than rather close…! But look at it, it seems to have gone mute?" said Veronica, inspecting the Wyvern's status with Appraisal and discovering that it had the Status Effect 'Mute (1 minute)'.
"That big attack cannot be done all the time, it seems to go mute for a minute… Let us try to kill it now!" said Veronica, flying with Ervas, chasing down the fast Wyvern around as the creature evaded them with swift movements as if mocking their lack of speed and finesse while flying.
However, Ervas and Veronica quickly managed to corner the Wyvern by separating and attacking it from the front and behind, the wyvern had a hard time making turns up and down most of the time, so every time it had its route stopped, it took a time flapping its wings to move to the other directions.
But a minute had passed doing the chase and figuring this out, making the Wyvern get an opportunity to retaliate with its strongest attack again!
Realizing that Ervas was the weakest of the two, as Veronica had managed to block its attack, the Wyvern decided to blast it into pieces with a roar.
"ROAARR!"
The roar released a cannon of vibrations and pressurized wind, flying towards Ervas, who had predicted that he would become the target if he were to go flying around like this.
"Telekinesis Barrier, Telekinesis Coating, Telekinesis Wave," said Ervas, creating a barrier of Telekinesis which he used for protection, which he then coated in another barrier and then unleashed a wave to both offset the power of the cannon and also to block it.
BOOM!
Ervas was sent flying across the air but seemed to have come out fine from it.
The wyvern once again coughed as it couldn't use Scream anymore, flying around while unleashing gusts to buy time.
However, just as it coughed and then flapped its wings that released gusts towards Ervas, Veronica, which the wyvern hadn't realized that had disappeared for a split of a second reappeared by revealing that she was covered in a reflective light coating, making her hard to discern through the Light Attribute Spirit Magic Spells 'Lesser Brightness Manipulation', 'Lesser Reflection Manipulation', and 'Mirroring Illusion' all in combination.
"I got you!"
Veronica raised her arms as she increased their size and appearance, making them sharp and powerful, while also shapeshifting her legs into long and made out of liquid metal, entangling the Wyvern's torso, and then unleashing attacks to its thick neck!
"Abyssal Claws! Spectral Metallic Slash!"
Veronica covered herself in her Abyssal Soul as she unleashed slashes of her soul and her metallic body into the Wyvern's neck, easily penetrating the scales and the flesh, chopping off pieces of flesh as the Wyvern flew around trying to fend off Veronica out of its body.
"ROOOARR!"
The second the Wyvern gained its voice once again, it unlashed a pressurized cannon right in front of Veronica, who was concentrating on attacking the wyvern but was surprised over its resiliency!
"Damn it!"
BOOM!
Veronica's entire torso was blown off into pieces in a second, as the Wyvern released a sigh of relief while glancing at Ervas, who used the small time the Wyvern wasted attacking Veronica to prepare a powerful attack.
Ervas entire body was covered in phantasmal tentacles covered in sharp telekinesis coatings, resembling spears, which he combined to form a giant and sharp spear that flew towards the Wyvern!
"I'll call it Giant Phantasmal Telekinesis Spear," said Ervas nonchalantly.
"GGRRA?!"
The Wyvern quickly tried to evade the giant projectile by moving way fast enough, but its wings were still entangled by Veronica's liquid metal body!
"GRR?!"
"What? Did you think that you killed me? Yeah, you just took a big chunk out of my HP, but that would never kill a Living Armor!" laughed Veronica, who had transformed herself entirely into a metal slime-like being, entangling the wyvern without letting it escape!
Ervas' Giant Phantasmal Telekinesis Spear closed in like a missile, penetrating the Wyvern's torso and then blasting it into pieces within seconds!
"GRRYAAAAA!"
BOOM!
The party down below glanced above to see a rain of chunks of meat and blood; the spawn points of the monsters quickly turned off… it was their victory!
"They really killed… a Rank 8 monster!" said Ismene in surprise.
