Chapter 294: Water buffalo demon
Author note:
I checked the status and found that some of Lily's martial art skills were not written, so I fixed them. The contents are as follows.
The technique for the one-handed sword 30 is Aerial Saber. The air inhabits the sword and after attacking four times in a row while flying through the air, the last attack blows the enemy away with a shockwave.
The technique of the large sword 20 is Shield Break. It is a technique that destroys shields and penetrates defenses.
-------------------------------------
The new labyrinth is a three-dimensional labyrinth. It's more difficult. I've been trying to get through it on Hix, but no matter how I tried, I couldn't reach the exit. I guess that means no foul play. Crap.
It was a pain in the ass, but I found a treasure chest, so I'll forgive it.
We arrived at the new boss room. I asked Setia and Ix to explain it to me.
"It's a monster with the body of a cow and the face of a demon"
"It's quite a huge monster. Master"
If it's a cow and a demon, then it's a Ushi-oni or Gyki. But it doesn't feel right.
"Do you know how many legs it has?"
"It's a cow, so of course it has four legs"
Setia was taken aback. I'm sure she's right, but in my mind Gyki is a demon similar to Tsuchigumo.
"Does it have a weapon?"
""No""
Then it's all hands on deck. The members were Kurogane, Aranea, Kitsuneko, Hix, Stra and Dian. They're completely stubborn members. I just wanted Aranea to fight. As for Kitsuneko, I chose it because of its spider image.
Now, what kind of enemies is it?
I entered the room and identified the enemy.
Gyki?
? ? ?
It had to be Gyki. But my image of Gyki was shattered. And it wasn't just its appearance.
When Gyki shouted, a huge amount of water came out of Gyki and hit everyone as a wave. This is the same technique as Ion's Dragon Wave!
"Koon!?"
Kitsuneko panicked, riding Stra and escaping the wave. Eh? What am I supposed to do? But the wave didn't reach me. It seems that the attack doesn't come to outside the room. I was quite impatient.
But this...this was a completely wrong choice. Because of my weird obsession, I did a terrible thing to Kitsuneko.
Everyone else climbed up to the ceiling with Aranea's adhesive thread. Hix and Stra also went to the sky. Dian is unconcerned and plunges into the wave. Kurogane takes a direct hit from the wave, but he holds his ground and lets his arm fly.
I thought that the huge body of Gyki would not be able to dodge the attack, but it was destroyed by Gyki's headbutt. Lie!?
Kitsuneko uses evil flame and Stra uses deadly poison breath, but the water boiled up and became a wall to protect it. It's strong...of course it is. It should be stronger than Gozuki.
But if it thinks water is its only home, it's wrong. Dian plunged into the wall of water and bit Gyki.
But Gyki is not defeated and tries to bite Dian. However, Aranea tightened its steel thread around Gyki's neck to stop it.
But Gyki seems to have more power than Dian. Gyki spins its body and Aranea is pulled and swung by it. Hix tries to stop the rotation with his claws, but they are repelled. Aranea then crashes into the wall.
"Aranea!?"
Aranea collides with the wall and Gyki shoots a poison breath at the limp Aranea. On the other hand, Kitsunekos evil flame and Stras deadly poison breath are pushed to greet.
"Piiii!"
Hix wore a whirlwind and slammed into the body, stopping the poisonous breath of Gyki, so I got nothing.
But Gyki's attack never ends. This time, it started moving towards the wall. Dian was still biting at Gyki. It's going to smash Dian against the wall! I won't let that happen!
"Kurogane! Provoke it and stop Gyki! Kitsuneko! Lower Gyki's strength!"
Kurogane provoked and Kitsunekos attack down lowers Gyki's strength. Kurogane then stops Gyki's thrust with his hand. But he gets pushed. But that's enough!
"Now!"
Everyone reacts to my signal. This is a winning pattern for us.
Stra tightens his grip on Gyki's neck and bites it. Kitsuneko also jumps on Gyki and bites it. Aranea, who has returned, uses steel thread on Kurogane and Gyki to block Gyki's movement.
Gyki moves its face to try to do something, but Hix scratches its face with his claws. The angry Gyki spits out a poisonous breath, but Hix dodges it with his afterimage and unleashes a wind blade as payback. Gyki takes a breath again, but Hix stops breathing with majesty and hits lightning breath on its face.
Gyki tries to do something before Aranea's capture is complete, but it can't do anything about it because of Kurogane's provocation. He uses poison breath and a black mist breath that I've never seen before, but it doesn't work on Kurogane. Probably a breath that makes one sick. Neither poison nor disease have any effect on Kurogane, which is a golem.
Aranea succeeded in capturing Gyki and checkmate. Aranea punched Gyki in the face, as if in return for what it had just done. As Aranea took his face, Hix earned damage from behind with lightning breath and lightning magic.
In a last ditch effort, Gyki used its madness and tried to force its way out of Aranea's steel thread captivity, but Aranea just went around capturing it and holding it down. About fifteen minutes later, Gyki ran out of steam and the info came.
They're all exhausted. You guys did a great job. I let everyone recover and work hard.
It was a terrible enemy. If it weren't for Aranea, there would have been casualties for sure. After fifteen minutes of being constricted, poisoned, depoisoned, burned, corroded, and repeatedly attacked with breath, we were finally able to defeat it. Obviously, the level had risen.
When I dismantled Gyki, it turned to blood and disappeared. And an item was left behind.
Cow Ball: Rarity 6 Material Quality C-
Effect: Disease No Effect
A crystal ball with the blessings of a cow. When worn as an accessory, it can protect the wearer from all kinds of disease.
Oh, it's an accessory item. And I think it's pretty strong. It was worth the trouble. I didn't do it, though.
I thanked everyone for their help. I apologized to Kitsuneko. It was a complete mismanagement. I regretted that I should have chosen Sabik or Puyosuke during the battle. I realized how scary the labyrinth quest was. The next enemy must be stronger than Gyki. Making a mistake like this can be fatal. I'll have to brace myself.
