Chapter 143: Boss Battle!

-----

"Flashing Spinning Kick!" 

Pekorina jumped from the paved and mossy floor of the dungeon using the strength of her powerful rabbit legs, as she flew through in the air and began to spin like a drill for a split of a second, unleashing a 'spinning kick' into a cow-sized lizard-like creature with its upper limbs adapted into membrane-like wings and covered in green scales, a Rank 6 Green Scaled Wyvern.

Pekorina's spinning kick released a small amount of flashing light, making the wyvern blind for a split second, and allowing her to hit it with her kick right into the head!

Clash!

"Growl!"

The Wyvern received the strong hit into its face as it groaned in pain, moving away from the young rabbit-kin girl in fear, it tried to release a small breath of flames but it was too dazed after receiving such a strong hit into its brain, which made it spit it all around instead.

"Where are you going, I'm no done with ya, peko! Light Ray!" shouted Pekorina, practicing her Light Attribute Magic Spell that she learned from Veronica, unleashing a ray of bright light released from her hand into the Wyvern.

Flash!

"Graawl!"

The damage was very small due to Pekorina's Magic stat being quite low and the Wyvern magic defense being rather decent, but it allowed her to not let it rest at any second.

"Here I go!"

Pekorina jumped once again into the air as she raised her left leg into the sky while in midair, falling towards the Wyvern at great speed.

"Blazing Kick!"

Flash!

Flames appeared surrounding her legs but without burning them, using such power to kick the Wyvern's head one last time.

Clash!

"GRROOWL…!"

The Wyvern fell unconscious as it fell into the ground, motionless.

"It's death!" said Pekorina, feeling the small number of Experience Points embracing her body like a refreshing and cold breeze.

"That was amazing, Pekorina-chan! You have grown so much! Slashing Paws!" said Acathea, as she used her paws to slash a small Wyvern Lizard, a Rank 4 monster's head right off in an instant.

"Thanks, you too Acathea-chan!" said Pekorina happily.

"Grishaaa!"

A long Wyvern with the body of a snake, a Rank 6 monster named Wyrm, appeared from behind Acathea, as she used her strong senses to move away from its biting attack in time.

Clash!

The Wyrm's head crashed into the hard ground as it hurt itself quite badly after failing to attack Acathea with its strong bite.

"Uuugraaahh!" it roared in pain.

"You dummy!" laughed Acathea, rushing towards the Wyrm with her fast speed and swift movements, raising her bear paws and enhancing them with her techniques, which made them look as if they were made out of iron for a second.

"Iron Claws!" she shouted, slashing the Wyrm's neck with her claws covered in magic that made them resemble iron for a second, the claws penetrated the Wyrm's scales with ease, seeping into the flesh, muscles, and bones.

Slash!

"Grisha-"

Bump!

Yet another head fell into the ground, decapitated by Acathea's sheer strength that was not rivaling even veterans such as Anna after a few job changes, she showcased impressive growth and talent.

"You're still a few leagues behind me, fufu" laughed Acathea.

"Acathea, what was that attack?! I also want to turn my legs into iron!" said Pekorina.

"But Pekorina, you can set them on fire with your attacks and be completely fine for some reason," said Acathea.

"I can teach you that! …I guess?" said Pekorina, she was clueless about teaching others how to use techniques.

"Growl!"

A few meters away from the beast-kin girls, a Rank 7 monster named Red Wyvern flew around while throwing powerful fireballs from its mouth, trying to set ablaze a little squirrel-kin girl.

However, the little girl was protecting herself with a wall made out of bright jewels.

"Your fire cannot get through my Jewel Shield!" said Amelia with a smile, as she called upon her Spirits Gnome and Salamander to cooperate with her magic spells. The two spirits emerged from behind her out of thin air, granting her their powers while shaping her mana to better use.

"Don't go overboard" said Gnome, who had recently become capable of speaking.

"Kill it! Kill it!" laughed Salamander.

"Lava Cannon!" said Amelia, raising her tiny staff adorned with a red gem.

The two alongside Amelia converged their magic into a single spell, which released a torrent of burning lava towards the wyvern flying at the sky, hitting it directly and quickly melting its head and most of its torso and wings.

Splash!

"GRRRYAAA!"

Bump!

The large wyvern fell into the ground, slowly melting away inside a pool of lava.

"And well, there are ridiculous things like Amelia," said Acathea, as she glanced at the ridiculous power that Acathea had acquired by being able to use spells that generated lava.

"Amelia might be mighty, but she smelts everything that she kills, leaving no meat to eat!" said Pekorina.

"You can always eat the soup left behind, Pekorina!" said Amelia.

"I don't wanna!" said Pekorina.

"Hehehe," Amelia laughed devilishly.

"Girls, even if you don't have a hard time, stay together, okay?" said Anna as she jumped over the corpse of a Wyvern while raising her ax into the air.

"Splitting Slash!" roared Anna.

"Vertical Slash!" shouted her Axe-chan.

Unleashing a powerful Axe Technique, Anna sliced in half a Giant Spinning Turtle that was about to hit Ismene at her side, her axe-chan also did the same, unleashing a similar axe technique and increasing the power of the original attack by almost twice.

Clash!

"Guuoon-"

The turtle was exactly sliced in half by the strong slicing force released by the axe alone, splattering innards, blood, and bones within seconds of being sliced, leaving a rather gory scene.

"Thanks for covering me up, Anna…! Roaring Flames!" said Ismene, as she conjured a fire attribute spell that unleashed flames alongside the roar of a beast. The flames flew towards a Wyrm that tried to sneak into her while she thanked Anna, burning its eyes and snout.

Flash!

"Griisshaa!"

"Light Blades!" said Ismene once again, conjuring a Light Attribute spell that released blade-shaped light projectiles towards the Wyrm, covering it entirely with them and killing it instantly by leaving its body filled with blade wounds and burns.

"It seems that it is all covered up there!" said a giant with green-colored skin, pointy ears, and nose, Goliath, who was wrestling against a Lesser Fire Drake, a quadrupedal dragon-type monster of Rank 7 with his fist, which he had covered in special gauntlets crafted by Veronica.

"I'll teach you why they call me the Steel Fist!" laughed Goliath, as the Lesser Fire Drake roared and raised its paws while throwing slashing attacks towards his flesh, which resisted the damage excellently use to being undead and not feeling any pain. The Lesser Fire Drake then unleashed its fire breath towards Goliath's face, but this only enraged the giant Goblin Ogre more, making him raise his fist as he unleashed a meteor of jabs over the three-meters tall dragon-type monster.

"Steel Meteor Jabs!"

Each of Goliath's punches was like meteors made out of iron, falling upon the drake, and breaking its bones with loud 'crack!' sounds, flattening the beast into a deformed mass of flesh and broken bones.

"Goliath your technique is way cooler than mine, but I won't lose, guu!" said Aqua, the Water Slime, which after expanding her body to her original size, reached up to four meters.

Aqua jumped like a slime over a group of Rock Wyverns, Rank 6 monsters, while expanding its body and shaping it as countless fits, hitting the Rock Wyverns with incredible might in a combination of consecutive jabs that contained great might.

"Liquid Fist Barrage, guuuuuu!"

"Groowl!"

The Rock Wyverns possessed the largest of defenses amongst Wyvern monsters, but Aqua's attacks contained not only its strength stat but its magic stat, as she used Water Attribute Magic with her Unarmed Fighting Techniques. This combination of powers led her to easily penetrate the Rock Wyverns' hard scales and crush their bones and innards.

However, one of them tried to fight back while attacking fiercely, but Aqua completely ignored its provocation as she created a water barrier with her own body alongside Shield and Armor Technique!

"Slime Water Barrier Shield!" said Aqua, combining Shield and Armor Techniques and Water Attribute Magic into a powerful barrier of water made with her slime, which was surprisingly sturdy!

Clash!

"Grrrahh?!"

The Rock Wyvern lost focus as it had its attack easily blocked. Before it could think on another strategy, Aqua unleashed yet another of her attacks and smashed to death the Rock Wyvern with her slimy fists.

"Gishishihsihsishishi!!!"

At Aqua's side, there was Charlotte, who had the size of a truck already, using her long and sharp armored legs to slice into pieces the little Rank 5 Lizards and Wyverns that appeared from time to time. She had recently learned Sword Technique by using her legs as blades and was also learning Shield and Armor technique by using its own natural armor to defend itself. 

And ahead of this battle, Ervas and Veronica were fighting against a Wind-Attribute Wyvern of Rank 8, the Great Windstorm Wyvern.

The party had already reached the last floor but were surprised by the Boss Room, which was filled with spawning points for monsters, raiding them from all sides, having to forcefully separate to cover the entire area.

The creature glanced at its two contenders from above, flapping its green-colored wings while releasing gusts of wind.

"ROAR!"

"Here it comes, Ervas!" said Veronica.

"Let's do this," said Ervas.
