Chapter 182 First Real Boss Fight Part 4
No one had time to even care about my partial transformation. While Sally was curious, she did not push the issue anymore. After the last hobgoblin was killed, the boss was all that was left, and to be honest, I am still unsure if we can beat this thing. “Barriers are useless against this thing as it is able to cast its area of attack inside of it. We will all need to be on guard. “
“Faith leave barriers to me. I will protect those who can’t move in time.” Sei yelled over to me. Sei was a barrier expert so having her deal with them was perfect since she couldn’t leave Adel’s side.
“Alright! Sei, you are on barriers, Grace, you are on heals. Only heal those seriously injured. Everyone else, focus on the boss!” I gave out my final order before buffing my body and shooting forward. I planned to be the main tank. As soon as the boss saw me coming, it instantly surrounded me with magic circles.
I had no choice but to dodge out of the way as ice spears blasted the location I was just in. My eyes lit up, creating many magic circles around me. Ice spears formed and shot back at the boss.-.
But the boss’s barrier seemed to block everything. It was quite annoying. With a wave of my hand, the flame swords from my Gates of Faithylon all turned and began targeting the same spot on the barrier of the boss. I watched in anticipation, but the barrier did not seem to want to break at all. With no choice, I jumped into the air and formed foot holds under me as I launched myself at the area my flame swords were targeting. My arm grew huge once more as I smashed down on the barrier, causing it to suddenly shatter into sparkles of light. “It’s down! Full on attack!”
Stepping on air one more, I shot forward towards the boss, who was now defenseless and swung my hand down at it with my claws gleaming under the blue light. But I guess I was celebrating a bit too soon…
*Boom!*
The room shook as the area where the boss was standing sunk down. My claws were stuck in some kind of barrier that halted my advance. I saw the boss look up at me with an eerie grin and wave its staff. “Mana shield!” I quickly covered my body in a mana shield, only to be sent flying up towards the ceiling as a large spike of ice shot up from the ground and slammed into my mana shield.
Feeling my body slamming into the hard rocky surface caused me to spit up a mouth full of blood. I never thought this stupid boss would be so hard. Having so many shields was just nuts. “What are you doing to my Young Miss!?” I heard Sally suddenly yell out and a loud bang sound. I looked down to see Sally pushing down hard on her hammer that seemed to have rockets firing out of the back end of it as she tried to break the second barrier.
Melting the large ice spike that had embedded me into the wall, I let my body fall straight down as both my arms turned into huge dragon claws. The early incident made me realize that I could actually make my claws grow as large as I wanted. Before, I never really thought about it, but now I noticed that I seem to be able to change my size at will. Whether this worked in my dragon form or not is another story. But in a partial transformation, I can.
*Boom!*
Once more, I landed hard on the barrier protecting the boss, trying to give it everything I had. Sally had already had to move to avoid another ice spike. At this time, the boss seemed to be just playing around as it had not attacked anyone else since the first barrier was broken.
I had no idea what the others thought of me at this time. Nor did I care. If they stop talking to me once they find out that I am a full fledged dragon, then so be it. But I will make sure before I leave this place that everyone signs a magic contract forbidding them from releasing details about me. Because if others find out, I will never get to leave a normal life again.
*Crack!*
Hearing the cracking sound coming from the barrier made my eyes light up. A small hole as big as my head finally appeared in the barrier, but it was rapidly repairing itself. Not wanting to miss this chance, I sucked in a deep breath and let out a stream of dragon fire into the barrier filling the barrier up with my dragon flames.
“GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
For the first time since the start of the battle, the boss finally took some damage! “Boss, hurt it! Keep hitting the barrier! Break it down!” I heard Adel yell out.
I gripped the barrier with my claws as I stopped my dragon flames and pulled hard on the barrier. More cracking was heard and then.
*Boom!*
The whole barrier shattered. Seconds later, a volley of attacks began landing on the boss, causing it to scream out in pain. It turned its head at me with a sinister gaze and waved its staff. It seemed to think I was the biggest threat. But before it could even cast a spell, Sally was right there to bash it in the face with her hammer.
“Keep attacking. We now have the advantage!” I shouted as I turned my Gates of Faithylon to strike the boss all over from head to toe. Our onslaught continued for almost five minutes when suddenly the boss slammed its staff on the ground and let out a blood curdling scream. The whole room suddenly turned red, followed by an ear piercing sound.
“SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
Everyone was forced to stop attacking and cover their ears. But what we saw next caused all of our faces to pale. A large black flaming monster slowly rose up from the ground….
