Chapter 444: The Strength of an Asmodian Abomination

The first to strike is Vayu as he became the fastest among all of them. He decided to strike at the legs of the abomination since its legs were small compared to its large body. (Author Note: Think along the lines of Johnny Bravo as the body shape.)

Vayu aimed for the legs so that he could impair the movement of the abomination. Due to him moving too fast that even Adrian had a hard time keeping up, he is creating afterimages of himself. The asmodian abomination could not follow Vayu due to the debuffs it is experiencing.

With a swift cut, Vayu managed to injure the right leg of the abomination. The strike is followed by a crackle as lightning hit the abomination. The abomination growled in pain and it immediately countered by increasing gravity in the area.

The gravity increased but it is immediately dispelled when Kabrakan stunned the abomination. It seems the ability to increase gravity must be channeled. The tanks immediately used their provocation skills but half of them failed. 

The provocation skills that failed are those that are rare tier and below. The other tanks frowned because epic tier provocation skills cost lots of mana despite the low cooldown. The thick viny arms of the abomination came crashing down towards their shield and they released a grunt.

"Heavy!" 

All the tanks could sense the great strength behind the attack. Their health decreased by 3% to 5% despite successfully blocking the attack. It is still a large decrease despite blocking it. The abomination continued flailing its thick tree like arms at the shields of the tanks. They could see and hear their shield's durability getting lower with each strike.

Just as the provocation skill is about to wear off, ten arrows with three different elemental attributes came flying towards the abomination. The arrows became piercing due to the wind attribute. It exploded upon contact due to the fire attribute. The last effect is the petrification of some parts of the abomination due to the earth element.

Vayu did not stop attacking the legs and he is joined by the two undead assassins. They prioritized hitting one area over and over, but the skin is like diamond despite being covered with fur. They could deal lots of damage due to hitting one consecutive spot.

Whenever the abomination shifts its focus to Vayu and the two assassins, Kanlaon would swoop in and breath fire on its face to get its attention. The abomination would try to take flight to try and kill Kanlaon but Adrian got that covered.

Adrian would use Quantum Dispersion and send the abomination back to the ground. The provocation skills of the tanks would be ready by then and the cycle will repeat. Adrian observed Mariposa's way of battling and considered it interesting because she is not issuing commands.

Mariposa did not need to issue commands because of her skill Hive Mind that connected her to all her insect soulbound. She made great use of this to control the bees summoned by the queen bee. She would use their stingers to try and deal damage to the abomination despite it being unable to puncture the skin.

She would even send one bee to its death when the abomination would open its mouth to fire some sort of beam. That tactic became very effective in preventing the abomination to release attacks using the mouth. 

The large spider soulbound would lurk and strike at the right moment to throw off the abomination's balance. It made great use of its skill that made it invisible whenever there are webs. It would even spew out webs to tangle the arm when Vayu or the assassins would get hit.

The greatest contributor would be the Anubis that Adrian managed to summon. It was keeping up with the abomination and aiding the tanks whenever they needed healing. The Anubis' level might be lessened but its abilities are still the same. 

The Anubises should be the same level as the abomination in Limbo but they cannot actually walk the mortal realm. Today was just an exception because Adrian summoned it with a temporary body. Adrian thought that the Church of Death would not have been persecuted had the Anubises been the protectors.

In just a span of five minutes, the team managed to decrease the abomination's health by 50%. They could not believe that they managed to do that in a short amount of time. They did celebrate too early as a shockwave blew away all those close to the abomination.

The abomination suddenly grew bigger, and the features became more pronounced like the claws, fangs, and horns becoming sharper. The abominations health also went back to 80% but its body seemed to become sturdier.

"After all that work, it would return back a large chunk of its health!" Alder complained.

"I knew that something is not right. We had it too easy, and it seems there are still lots of phases before we can finally beat it." Anastacia muttered.

"We could just…" Alder is stalking when suddenly the abomination came after him.

If one looked at the contribution board then Alder would be first. His barrage of elemental arrows is far too powerful an arsenal. The explosive combinations of the elements also helped his high damage per second.

Alder's head is about to be bitten off by the abomination when Adrian reacted immediately. He forcefully used Blink to transfer Alder to a safer location. Sirius then emerged from the shadows to bind the abomination's body to the ground.

"Thanks!" Alder stated as he calmed his heart. He was sure that his head would be bitten off.

"It got cleansed from all the debuffs. Reapply them." Cersei shouted.

"I am on it. Go my clay soldiers! Aim for the abomination." Peridot stated as her army of clay soldiers started to move in a swift formation.

Levin Cloud is about to tell what could clay soldiers do but he was surprised by the outcome. The clay soldiers would be shattered with one hit. The abomination would then get stunned when it used its body part to shatter the clay soldier.

The stun should have lasted for one second, but it only lasted half a second because they are fighting a boss monster. Still, ten clay soldiers meant a five second stun which greatly helped them. Vayu and the assassins once again went on the offensive while the mages released their chanted spells.

A combination of spells of different elements hit the abomination. The abomination roared as it got hit with a multitude of attacks but that was not the only reason. Its body started to glow green and it started to heal 5% of its health per five seconds.

"We are going to be here for a while." Adrian muttered and the rest could only nod in agreement.
