Chapter 399 Intervening
“So what, we just swoop in and bombard them with everything we got?” Asked Shadow as he stared at Reign with a confused expression.
“Yeah, and I mean everything, use the weapon skills, marks, the strongest skills you got, we have to put everything we got in this one attack, otherwise who knows what might happen.” Reign said with a serious expression on his face as he held his two swords.
Both of the monsters were now seriously injured and had almost no mana left in their body. They were much weaker compared to their full strength and he and the others had the opportunity to end them and get a bunch of exp and perhaps some good items.
After all, to kill two powerful Tier I bosses was an incredible feat as these guys could perhaps even field against weaker Tier II monsters by themselves. That just showed how powerful each of them was.
The crocodile’s incredibly hard skin made injuring it almost impossible and even Reign doubted he would be able to deal any significant damage without targeting more vulnerable areas and attacking it with full strength.
The frost ability the croc had was something that made it even more dangerous, just the power, defense, and speed the croc had made it an incredibly dangerous opponent to have, but with the frost ability that it possessed, it was on a completely different level of danger.
The frost not only worked to make the crocodile more dangerous, but it was also able to use its ability and cover itself in an ice armor that was extremely durable and possessed great defensive properties. Even the Doomgarg had a lot of trouble destroying it.
The Doomgarg on the other hand was an extremely weird monster, even though the crocodile was powerful, at least one would know where to attack in order to quickly kill it, but the Doomgarg seemingly had no vital areas on its body and no real weakness as it could survive any hit as long as it had more flesh to work with.
Its body was extremely powerful which was seen after it was able to thrash the crocodile around and even destroy its ice armor after going all out and reaching 12 meters in height. The powerful muscles the Doomgarg possessed were thicker than normal trees and the six arms could all transform themselves into different things.
The sledgehammer transformation that needed 4 arms in order to work had incredible crushing power and that was what the Doomgarg used in order to smash apart the ice armor and hit the croc’s head. It also could transform its arms into large blades, whips, and more. ( Author: Similar to Alex and James in the game Prototype )
The bone armor on its body was also very durable and allowed the Doomgarg to tank some powerful hits from the croc before it was finally destroyed.
The most lethal thing about the monster was not its incredible physical prowess, however, but the ability to make illusions. Reign and the others were still in the dark when it came to how exactly it cast illusions or what they were like, but after seeing the croc who had to mindlessly attack its surroundings multiple times, they knew it was nothing but trouble.
Reign wasn’t that concerned about getting caught in the illusion himself, but he was worried about what might happen to the others if they were caught in one. Even though both of the monsters were extremely weak right now and had barely any mana left, he and the others knew that they had enough for at least one more attack.
They could let the monsters battle it out and wait for one to win which would make the attack effortless, but then they would lose out on the exp and items from killing them both, something they really didn’t want to do.
So they decided to take the risk and attack, with all of them going all out it shouldn’t be a problem to kill the two monsters, the only worry they had was how powerful the final attacks from the two monsters would be.
Reign took out his katana and the rank S Storm Bringer and got ready to use their skills at any moment. The others did the same and glanced at each other before nodding and charging at the croc and the Doomgarg.
Laura quickly started using a dagger to carve a pentagram on her palm while Beast summoned Blackie and got ready to fuse with it. Since Blackie had evolved, its power was incredible and the fusion let Beast have incredible strength and speed while actually having a lower impact on his mental state since he had reached Tier I, and Blackie had more intelligence and was able to control itself more.
Shadow immediately used his [ Shadow Blades ] and got ready to use his [ Shadow Body ] and teleport to the croc and unleash his [ Darkness Implosion ] skill at the croc’s head, if he was lucky enough the attack would be enough to smash the monsters head and destroy its brain, instantly killing it.
Wolf was getting ready to use his sword’s power and dragonize while using his mark like the others while Tank held his axe firmly, ready to unleash its power on the enemy.
The second the party members entered the field, the two monsters noticed and stopped their battle. Both monsters stared at them as the croc glanced back at the group and the Doomgarg.
Upon noticing the Doomgarg’s surprised look, the croc immediately knew that it had been tricked. The Doomgarg wasn’t the one that stole its gem and it wasn’t working together with the small insects in front of it.
Upon noticing that, the croc raised its head and uttered a deafening growl.
Swish
The second the croc raised his head however, Shadow who had already used his mark and every other boost appeared below it. With a basketball-sized dark ball in his hand, he quickly jumped up and threw it at the giant crocodile.
The ball exploded right above the croc’s head and immediately, the pulling force of the small black hole that was suddenly created started smashing apart the scales on the top of the croc’s head. The hard skin, bones, and flesh that were mangled up got crushed, albeit very slowly.
The others didn’t stand on ceremony either, Laura had already drawn a pentagram in the air with her blood as her arm had completely changed. While it had previously just grown some scales and turned purple, this time her arm was more muscular and fully demonic.
There was a spike growing out from her elbow while her fingers turned into razor-sharp claws. The whole arm was dark purple and covered in tough scales. Laura quickly punched the pentagram in front of her as she could feel most of her mana leaving her body. The power behind the attack was more than double compared to the one she used against the centipede.
A thick purple ray was launched at the croc that was unable to dodge thanks to the black hole and was forced to open his mouth and launch a beam of frost in order to block the attack since it had felt mortal danger coming from it.
The two beams clashed and exploded, one half of the location of impact was fully covered in frost while the other was covered in demonic purple flames that burned fiercely.
The attack completely drained the crocodile as it was now left with barely any mana at all, it was impossible for it to use its frost ability, and had to rely on its physical prowess now. Of course, nobody was going to let it do that.
Laura used the power of her necklace that let her use skills without the need for mana, because she was now Tier I, the necklace would only let her use skills without any mana for 8 seconds. Laura quickly started drawing two pentagrams in the air while Beast suddenly disappeared from the spot. 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Beast moved with speed that was only slightly below Reign and Shadow’s and appeared above the crocodile before unleashing a barrage of attacks.
Reign quickly appeared in front of the Doomgarg as he wanted to bait it into using its illusion on him as he was the one with the highest resistance to such attacks.
He immediately started attacking the Doomgarg as his lightning exploded from him, his two swords were a blur as he started slashing the monster apart while using his skills at the same time.
Thanks to the Storm Bringer, all of his lightning-type skills were more powerful and could deal some heavy damage to the monster. The Doomgarg was quick to realize it was in trouble and used the remainder of his mana to cast an illusion on Reign and on Greenie who was right behind him.
Both of them stopped moving, but before the Doomgarg could do anything, he was attacked by Wolf who quickly appeared next to it. The dragonized Wolf was incredibly powerful and he quickly used his flames and greatsword to attack the Doomgarg who was forced to move, weakening the illusion greatly and allowing Reign to quickly break out of it.
Greenie was still stuck, but the illusion was only able to make him stop as it was weakened, contrary to what the Doomgarg wanted to do, which was to make him believe that his teammates were the enemy and attack them.
As the party fought without holding back, they were able to kill both of the monsters in 2 minutes without suffering any serious injuries.
