Chapter 224: Qin clay soldiers and Jomon clay doll
Before the boss battle, we check the formation. Then it seems that there's something that everyone doesn't agree on.
"Takuto-kun...are you going to fight as it is?"
"Yeah, but?"
"Nii-chan, it's a boss battle, right?"
"What's the problem?"
"Mee~"
Look, Loco Moco is fine. He says there's no problem! Besides, everyone hasn't leveled up yet! We can't finish like this. Mel reminds me.
"If it gets dangerous, change it, okay?"
Yes, yes. If it gets dangerous, I'll change.
So, we all entered the square and took up our positions. Then a huge rock fell and blocked the exit.
It's a style that doesn't allow you to escape. Now, what's the enemy?
A lot of armed clay dolls are coming out of the ground. I've seen this one before.
Terracotta Army Lv18
Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active
These are dolls made during the time of the First Emperor of China, etc., that were buried with the dead.
Let's attack first.
Arrow Rain!
Tristan-san and Yoichi-san's arrows rain down on them.
But the Terracotta Warriors are also unleashing their Arrow Rain. Oh no, they're chanting!
The rest of us ran away at once, but there was nowhere to run. That's how many arrows there were. There was nowhere for me to run either.
Hokages party made a mark and used ninjutsu, but they couldn't handle it.
"...Leave it to me"
Nowa creates a shadow wall. Nowa, you're the best!
"Mirai!"
"...Yes!"
Mirai is behind me, preparing her recovery magic. Mirai is our lifeline. I can't let her get hurt.
In the meantime, I cast Rune Arts on the Terracotta Archers while Nowa protects me. Now they can't shoot Arrow Rain anymore.
In the meantime, Kitsuneko checked the Terracotta Mages with fire bullets to buy me some time. The rest was my job. The targets are the Terracotta Mages.
"Explosion!"
There was a huge explosion where the Terracotta Mages were frozen in place and they were blown away. However, the Terracotta Spearmen had broken through Mangetsu and the others and were closing in on us.
I take out my sword.
"I'll intercept them! Mir, use vines to stop those guys' skills! Nowa, Sabik, Kitsuneko! Give us some support!"
"Yes!"
"...N!"
Yoichi-san will decide when he sees my battle stance.
"We'll aim for the enemy's rear guards!"
That's excellent judgment. I'm sure I killed a lot of them with the explosion earlier, but mages must still be around. The Terracotta Archers will also shoot at us with normal bows. In order for us to fight with peace of mind, I think it's best to aim for the rear guard.
So, let's do our job. Mir cleaves the vines and cancels the Terracotta Warriors' martial arts. Kitsuneko burns away the Terracotta Warriors with evil flame.
Sabik attacks the ones that are still attacking us. I take care of the rest.
But when I slash the Terracotta Warriors, they split in half and I defeated them. Oh? Weak?
I slash another one and it's defeated again...is this the boss fight? Anyway, I need to focus on these guys for now.
"I'll help you, degozaru!"
Hokages party joined in and were defeating the Terracotta Spearmen together when Mangetsu-sans party arrived.
"Sorry! I was pulled out"
"No, I need a swordsman"
"That doesn't seem to be necessary, does it?"
Eh?
"Explosion!"
The swordsmen are blown away by Rekka's explosion.
Mel's party are the last ones left fighting. I'm sure they'll be fine. I turned around and saw Loco Moco with a lot of arrows stuck in him.
"Lo, Loco Moco~~~~!!?"
I hurriedly pulled out the arrows from Loco Moco.
"Are you alright!? Loco Moco!"
"Mee~"
Apparently he was okay thanks to the fluffy hair. I was impatient.
"That's it!"
It looks like Risa has defeated the last enemy. But all the Terracotta Warriors we defeated turned into clods and gathered in one place. The Terracotta Army is not the boss after all...while everyone is on alert, the clods appear in a new form.
Clay Figure?
? ? ?
It's a clay doll said to have been made during the Jomon period. It looks just like the famous clay figurine found in Aomori. But it's a boss monster, so naturally it's big.
But why couldn't they have made a clay figure out of Haniwa? I want my expectations of the first emperor to be returned because of the Terracotta Army.
That was the moment I thought that. The clay doll's eyes flashed red and a beam of light shot out at us.
"O, Oh?"
But I was undamaged. I thought I was dead...but things got worse. All the players turned to stone, except us.
It seems that we escaped being petrified because I had applied Bless before entering the cave. The clay figure's face turned red and steam came out of its ears, probably because we were safe. It seems to be angry.
Its arms shine. Is that a martial art? I won't let you!
"Rune Arts!"
Clay Figure's mysterious martial art fails to fire. I'm glad it worked.
However, the mouth of the Clay Figure glows red next. It looks like the only thing that's faster is the petrifying beam from its eyes.
"Everybody freeze! Mir, drop it in the pit!"
"I, I understand!"
Mir disappears into the ground. And the Clay Figure spits fire from its mouth. I'm ready, too!
"Water Wall!"
A wall of water blocks the fire. Meanwhile, Mir finishes setting up the pit.
"I'll drop it!"
"Please!"
But the Clay Figure did not fall into the pit. It seems to have been floating slightly above the ground. You're a cat-shaped robot! If it doesn't fall, I'll force it down!
When the flames subsided and my water wall was finished, the Clay Figure moved its arms. I start chanting my magic. I thought it would be a game of speed, but it wasn't to be.
"...Shadow Binding"
Thanks to Nowa's help in stopping Clay Figure's movement, I succeeded in chanting my magic. Nowa is really good. And you, Clay Figure, fall!
"Downburst!"
The Clay Figure tumbles into the pit with a downward airflow.
"Everyone, buy us some time!"
Nowa and the others attack the figure as it falls into the pit. In the meantime, I refresh Mirai's petrification and apply Bless to her. If we're petrified, we're out.
I immediately work with Mirai to heal the others. The first to go are Hokages party The reason for this is that they have bombs and are fast, making them good guides.
Grudge of petrification!!
While Hokages party were applying the bombs to the Clay Figure, we healed Mangetsu-san and Rekka and they joined the battle against the Clay Figure. At Mirai's discretion, I heal Yuko and Risa. Next I'll take care of Tristan-san, Yoichi and the others and Mirai will take care of Migazuki-san and the others. I healed Mel and Keigo last and they were all restored to normal.
""Terrible!""
"It was the right decision"
"...If you're healed, go and fight"
I'm sure Mirai and I have made the right decision. The two of us have a lot of firepower against the Clay Figure. We'll use MP potions to heal. In the meantime, I look at everyone's battles and I see that they have changed from the battles in the event.
Risa in particular is damaging the Clay Figure with qi bullets and power-ups. Yuko is using Impact Slash. It seems that impact slash can easily deal damage to hard enemies. I'll keep that in mind.
"Now, I also participate"
The next moment, I felt as if I was being slammed from above and pushed to the ground. This is...downburst!?
"Nii-sama!?"
Mirai recovers me and I'm okay. What the hell was that just now?
