Chapter 270 - Versatile, Jack Of All Trades And The Versatile Battle Maid (IX)

Since it looked disgusting even in the distance, we didn't bother to get near it for now.

"What now, Master? Just by looking at it, we can't enter the same way again as we did earlier. It is now in total rampage ready to wreck everything apart," Lina said.

"Yeah, this is a pretty big problem but it is fine that we are seeing it in this state rather than fighting it on its slumber state. We might have gotten caught by the rubble if we fought it before so we are in luck," I said.

"Ugh, please. I would rather go do all the housework for a month than interact with that slimy thing. We need to get rid of that thing as soon as possible."

"Do you have any solution on how we will do that, Lucia-sama?" Atlas looked at Lucia who is still refusing to look at the wriggling slimy mass of tentacles in the distance.

"What else? Of course, douse it with fire, then kill it with fire. And oh, dump it with another strong fire magic just to be sure it is fully toasted and reduced to charcoal to be sure!"

"..." Everyone looked at Lucia like she was an idiot.

"What?! I already said my piece, it doesn't need to be the plan we need to follow alright? Don't judge me like I am a real idiot here!"

"Actually, she has a good idea of dousing it with fire. Foreign Beings are weak to the Fire and Electric elemental damage. For some unknown reason, they are not good at handling that stuff. They receive neutral damage to everything else and take more damage in fire and electric elements. It's a good thing to know for us to know which elements will allow us to get a good advantage against the boss."

"So, that means her plan is plausible, Master?" Atlas scratches his head.

"Yes. But that is not the only plan we are going to do. That won't be enough to kill the tentacle bastard that is hidden in his chamber with all of these tentacles surrounding his lair." We have to smoke him out of that place and force him out."

"I see. So that is what you are aiming for, Master. As expected of you," Lina nodded after catching up on what I am talking about.

"Huh? What? Is this some sort of new tactic you guys developed?" Atlas seems to be on the slower side since he still didn't understand what will be the plan is going to be.

"Basically. we will "smoke" him out of the cave which means we will have to burn the surrounding area with flames. Of course, that is not enough to bring the monster out of his lair so we will also be using the plan of Lucia to douse it down with fire. That means we will bombard it with lots of fire attacks, the liquid that can enhance the power of fire, and other things that can keep the flames burning. The monster will be forced to escape the area and we will be able to face it head-on," Lina explained.

"Now I get it, so that means Lucia and Leona are the core operators we will be deploying to make this plan work?"

I nodded in response. "Yes. I will be joining everyone who will be going to the operation of "smoking" the boss out of its lair. Now, enough discussion. Let's go and do the plan!"

Everyone immediately made their move and I pulled out the [Molotov Cocktails] which can be concocted easily on the alchemy table. I created these during my preparation for fighting in Sandurk's raid but it turned out to be useless so I have to store them all inside my inventory instead. Now, I have reason to use these things now and to make sure the fire stays longer, I also have the [Ignition Potions], a potion that is just gasoline here in this world. You pour it on the area then burn it, and the flames will not die out for around 30 minutes.

"Lucia, I trust you are full of mana right now right and you need to unleash quite a lot of fire spells to fire on that creature?"

"Yes, Master. However, if we wanted to bombard that slimy thing with fire, I needed a lot of mana and my current mana is not enough."

"Well, that saved things of explanation for me. Here, take these bottles of mana potions. It should be enough for you, I presume?" I handed her 100 bottles of [Flavored Intermediate Mana Potion].

"Flavored?" Lucia frowned when she saw the name on the potion. It looks like the same potion she usually drinks whenever she ran out of mana but the name is different and the word flavored catches her attention.

"I modified the potion since the original potion tastes like rotten fish blended with rotten garbage and sh*t then mixed into the water to call as Mana Potion. This one does the same effect as the original mana potion but it won't give you unpleasant memory of drinking it."

Lucia shivered after remembering the taste of the Mana Potion. "Thanks, Master."

She quickly mounted on Leona's back and the two fly up in the air. I look at everyone and gave out the signal.

"Alright guys, time to get some work done before the 61st wave starts!"

Every one of them gets their own supply of [Molotov Cocktail] and [Ignition Potion] with them and since we have a big place to cover, I made sure to give them enough supply.

With our joint effort, we managed to cover the whole area with [Ignition Potion]. As soon as we are done with doing it, I throw an [Ignition Potion] into the entrance of the cave where we came out. The tentacles are still squirming and the moment they crush the bottle, I give my signal and everyone throws the [Molotov Cocktails and run away from the area to avoid being caught by the fire suddenly exploding out of all directions.

FWWWWOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

The red tongue of flames engulf the cave and started to burn brightly. The tentacles that got caught by the flames were forced to squirm back to the cave in a hurry.

"Ha! Squirm all you want but you won't escape the wrath of the flames! Likes of you should burn without leaving a speck of single dust! [HELLFIRE]!"

Even though Lucia is high up in the air, her voice is very loud that we can hear her even though we are here on the ground. Her [Hellfire] is amplified by the power of [Ignition Potion] causing all of the [Hellfire] effects to double and cause bigger damage than normal.

KISSSHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA! KISSSHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!

The sound of the tentacles burning and squirming can be heard in the distance. As fire rages on, the tentacles tried to desperately put the fire out, however, all of it is in vain as the fire continuously spread, and even if they try to put it out, they are also getting burned in the process.

Around 5 minutes that the cave is being burned, a large tentacle monster burst out of the cave. However, this time, it is running away from the [Hellfire].

Seeing the monster running away, I pulled out one of the scrolls in my inventory. I have little use for it since the situation never really give me a good opportunity to use it but I finally got one opportunity.

"[Heavenly Chains]!"

Throwing it to the ground, the spell activated and it released an identical spell that Sigma uses during the battle we had during the tournament. Since I didn't have enough SP, I can only use this kind of spell using the scrolls. I have plenty of them made and if an opportunity arises like this one, I will use it to my advantage.

The escaping slime monster tried to squirm away but due to the chains suddenly restraining all of its movements, it didn't get to move and was forced to wriggle.

"Alright! Let's get this bastard down, attack!"

Everyone launched an attack and didn't even bother to hold back. With the chains putting it in its place, it was helpless as it got trashed by my followers.

...

-You have slain the Consciousness of the Undying King!

-got Gem of Thought.

Hmm? Consciousness? Gem of Thought? I pulled out the Gem of Thought from my inventory and checked the thing up.

[Gem of Thought]

Type: Item

Info: The undying king's brain. It can escape away from danger if it is at a disadvantage. The secret of the Undying King for not dying is due to his detachable brain. Destroying the brain ultimately destroys the Undying King. The gem is where the Undying king preserves its memories before latching on another host. You can say it is the parasite.

Note: This might be Migi's long lost brother.

The brain and not the actual body? Does that mean there is still the body we have to take care of? No, that shouldn't be it since the brain is dead, its body should also be dead.

Just then...

ROAR!

The sound of a roaring beast suddenly booms out in the destroyed cave. No wonder it was a bit easy, things are just a warmup.. The battle has yet to begin.
