Little Mercury roared rather adorably, but that was more than enough for most of the tentacles to notice him instead of any of us and attack him constantly! His enormous and slimy body was amazing at withstanding damage, and he was using his fireballs and other low to mid-tier spells to slash and burn through his attackers. His defensive stats were insanely high so he was the perfect tank, we didn’t had to worry about him while we dealt with the big problem here, the Boss itself!
“GROOOOAARRRR!!!”
“ROOOAAAARRRR!!!”
Both dragons clashed! Lucifer and the Flesh Dragon (as I am going to call the Boss) clashed against one another in an intense battle. Lucifer used his jaws to bite and pierce through the flesh and bones of the Flesh Dragon, while the Boss Monster attacked Lucifer with its sharp bones and claws, alongside countless of tentacles surging from its entire body.
CLASH!
BOOM!
CRASH!
Lucifer’s legs and arms hit the monstrous Boss several times. It seemed he was very enraged for what they had done to his last remains, making them into an horrendous fleshy creature was indeed a bit traumatic. He swung his tail and coated the tail on his phantasmal flames, using them to hit the giant Flesh Dragon with all his might put into it!
CRAAASH!
“GRUUOHH…!”
The Flesh Dragon suddenly felt lethargic by the enormously strong hit. The phantasmal flames suddenly started to burn through its body as the soul it had received a direct hit. Lucifer was not containing himself anymore nor saving any energy into his attacks! He quickly added that attack with a deadly Phantom Breath attack, covering the entire creature with a phantasmal mass of flames that burned through most of its body mercilessly!
“ROOOAAAARRRRR!!!”
BOOOOOMMM!!!
The Flesh Dragon groaned in agony once more, as a large part of its entire body was blown away into ashes by Lucifer’s merciless attack. However, the creature had insane self-regeneration, its flesh quickly recovered the wounds and generated even more tentacles, entangling the limbs of Lucifer and piercing them through endless sharp tooths emerging from each tentacle, slicing his scales and leaving deep wounds that reached to his bones!
“GRUUUAAAAH!”
Lucifer cried in agony, but he gritted his teeth and unleashed another Phantom Breath against the Flesh Dragon. All of this was happening way too fast, but with my speed, I managed to catch up to the two and quickly decided to aid Lucifer! Partner also came running behind me, while Pyro and Emeraldine stood in the back, preparing their long-ranged magic attacks.
“Lucifer, don’t fight this thing alone, you idiot!” Said Partner angrily, reprimanding the prideful dragon. She swung her spear multiple times- no, her two spears multiple times, as she generated roses made of Blood Aura which she shaped into hundreds of mirages in the shape of even more spears. All these hundreds of Blood Aura Spears started to hit the Flesh Dragon’s rear with incredible and explosive power.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The Dragon’s rear quickly started to break apart easily, her attacks were strong and they were easily piercing through his defenses, but his insane regeneration ability and the miasma which recovered his mana were not nice. Any damage dealt quickly recovered back and the dragon simply rose once more from where it came from. It swung its tentacles and hit Partner directly. She intercepted with her two spears, her old one and the new Basilisk Tyrant Spear I gave to her, as she said she wanted to dual wield from now on to “not waste a hand” or something. It resulted in being pretty good, both spears granted her a lot of defense when she put them in an X position.
CLAAAAASH!
“Blood Counter!!!”
TRUUUUMMM…!
The accumulated damage into her was quickly sent back through the power of [Blood Counter] a new Skill she learned after leveling up quite a lot. This ability helped Partner accumulate damage given to her and then let it all out into an explosion of power, which hit the Flesh Dragon’s head directly, blowing it away in an instant!
BOOM!!!
“GROOARRR!”
Lucifer came right afterwards, unleashing a Phantom Breath into the interior of the Flesh Dragon, and making it inflate like a balloon until it exploded horrendously.
BOOOOOOMMM!!!
“GRYYYAAAAHH…!
The gigantic Flesh Dragon splattered into the floor… it left blood and unmoving flesh everywhere! Wow, was it over already? I didn’t even got to do anything- Oh.
Before I could even realize that we had yet to earn any EXP, the Flesh Dragon suddenly reconstructed itself from within all the flesh stuck to the ceilings, walls, and floors, forming itself once more into a monstrous Flesh Dragon… it pretty much revived?! How many lives does this bastard has? Using Appraisal on him didn’t gave nay results, it only showed glitchy numbers and words… What the heck?!
“GRUOOOOOHHHHHH!!!”
The Flesh Dragon quickly jumped over the surprised Lucifer, its entire body suddenly gained hundreds of dragon jaws across its body and all of them began to attempt to tear Lucifer apart into pieces, shit! I quickly ran to his help. I had been mostly using Undead Heal and Shadow and Death Domain to boost everybody’s strength. I had also used the [Enhance] Soul Grimoire Ability with everybody, but even with the bonus to their stats it barely amounted to anything.
“Y-You damn…!” Lucifer gritted his teeth, resisting the intensity of the strength of the Flesh Dragon. I grabbed my sword and my axe and coated them in Death and Darkness Aura, and launched them at the Dragon’s back with all the might I could, adding [Pandora’s Box] to the mix as well!
FLAAAASH!
The two weapons spun down and clashed against the Flesh Dragon, unleashing explosions of all the darkness and even wandering souls I had infused into them, the two weapons unleashed such big magical explosions that the Flesh Dragon once more temporarily was torn apart, freeing Lucifer from its deadly embrace. Despite being alive, Undead Heal still worked on him thanks to being a Death Dragon similarly to Partner being a Lesser Vampire, so I quickly began to heal all the horrible wounds he had over himself.
“Hang in there, Lucifer! Undead Heal!!!”
FLAAASH!
Phantasmal darkness covered his wounds, quickly closing them down one by one, Lucifer smiled faintly as he slowly stood up.
-. “I am alright, thanks for your concern… but this monster… I don’t know how it even works. Do we need to completely destroy all the flesh here? Does it has a weak part? A core? Or anything at all?”
“I think I’ve figured out something… But I’ll need your backup to find out if my hypothesis is true!”
