I looked into the Boss Monster's stats once more, its skills were being activated right at this moment.

[Ruler of the Swamp: Lv76] [Rank: B+++] [Status: Furious, Hungry]
[Description]: A Giant Anglerfish that dwells in the depths of the Swamp's waters. Its enormous size and tremendous appetite makes it an apex predator and consumer of all. It has been called the Ruler of the Swamp ever since it was seen, and such name has been engraved into its soul.
It often sleeps, but once many monsters are slain and the swamps are disturbed, it emerges to fight whoever has brought its sleep to an end. It can viciously bite through anything, shake the entire swamp with its body size and control Water and Poison Magic. If ever encountered, it is recommended to run as fast as you can.
[Skills]: [Poisonous Goo Coating] [Giant Body] [High Speed Self Regeneration] [Poisonous Giant Tongue] [Enormous Crushing Jaws] [Poison Bullets] [Poison Breath] [High Speed Swimming] [Ruler of the Swamp] [Call for Help] [Subject Enhancement] [Water Stream] [Poison Sea] [Gluttonous Jaws] [Absorption] […]

"GRUOOOHHH!"
The moment the fish roared, the swamp waters trembled, and then, enormous vortexes of water were summoned by the dozens, by enough to reach up to thirty meters of height!
[The [Ruler of the Swamp] has activated [Water Stream]!]
FLUOOOOSSSSHHHH!!!
Dozens of spiraling streams of water flew towards our direction, clashing against us one by one!
SPLAAASH!
SPLAAASH!
SPLAAASH!
Of course, I easily blocked them using my shadows, gathering them into enormous palms and materializing them, easily blocking the water. I made as many palms as necessary!
BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!
The water streams exploded in midair, but more and more kept coming, some shaped as sharp spears trying to pierce through our bodies. Dividing myself into a swarm would only make it worse for me, so it is better to just expand my shadows to send shockwaves, sending away the water.
SPLAAAASH!
"GYUH!"
Meanwhile, Root was doing something that… was rather natural for a plant.
[Root] has activated [Draining Roots]!]
FLUOOSH!
Root's draining roots began to absorb the water as he suddenly started growing bigger and bigger in size, resembling an enormous floating ball!
Ding!
[Root] has learned the [Water Resistance: Lv1] Skill!]
[You learned the [Water Resistance: Lv1] Skill!]
Ah, I guess it makes sense.
"Abyssal Barrier!"
FLAAASH!
I summoned a large Abyssal Barrier in the shape of a gigantic bone-made shield, protecting us from the constant and piercing currents of water, as we flew directly towards the Boss!
"GGRRRHHHHH…!"
[The [Ruler of the Swamp] has activated [Poison Breath]!]
However, it opened its jaws, unleashing an enormous fog of poison and disease against us!
FLAAAAAASH!
"GYUUHH…!"
Root struggled to resist the deadly poison and diseases of this breath, but I flew before him, quickly absorbing it all by pointing my hand into the Poison Breath.
[You have activated the [Poison/Toxin/Venom Absorption: Lv-] Skill!]
[All Poison is being drained and absorbed!]
FLUOSH!
FLASH!
The Poison Breath abruptly stopped as the giant fish realized I could absorb poison thanks to my [Poison/Toxin/Venom Absorption: Lv-] Skill, of course.
"GGRUOOH!"
The Ruler of the Swamp furiously roared, his eyes suddenly glowed bright red, out of thin air, an enormous wave of purple-colored liquid emerged from its surroundings.
[The [Ruler of the Swamp] has activated the [Poison Sea] Skill!]
"I told you that's not going to work!"
"GRRRRHHH!"
However, the ruler's eyes suddenly grew bright red.
[The [Ruler of the Swamp] has activated the [Ruler of Swamp] Skill!]
[Skills can ignore 50% of the foe's resistances and nullify absorptions. The [Ruler of the Swamps] Stats have increased by +100% for 10 minutes.]
Thanks to my super ability of Analysis, I was able to see exactly what this bastard was trying to do with his Skills! To think his Ruler of the Swamp Skill is so strong… but it is a ten-minute buff only.
Still, it was able to ignore my resistance to it?!
SPLAAAASSSHHH!!!
The poison hit me directly, my HP slowly began going down. I was even Poisoned! Me! The damn Poison Ghost of this story! It was insane… Oh well, my defenses are so high and my MP so much I just used Undead Healing to restore my HP constantly, a good ol' trick.
"Root, are you ready?!"
"I am GYUH!"
Root quickly emerged from behind me as his enormous body had now grown up to twenty meters in the form of a sphere, and ten, all this absorbed water transformed into magic power through his plant-like metabolism, a flash of bright daylight emerged from within his eyes.
[Root] has activated the [Life Enhancement: Lv1] Skill!]
[Natural Metabolism has been enhanced in speed by +200%, alongside HP and MP Regeneration Speed by +50%. All Stats have increased by +25%!]
[Life and Light Attribute Magic Power is enhanced by +20%]
FLAAAASH!
[Root] has activated [Sunlight Beam: Lv1]!]
Root's entire body began to absorb all the water he absorbed and transformed it all into his MP, as a massive beam of Sunlight emerged from within his two empty holes of eyes, blasting towards the Swamp Ruler!
BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
"GRUOOOHHHHH…!"
The enormous Swamp Ruler groaned in agony; its entire body being roasted alive by Root's all-out-attack! Half of its body was burned and roasted. However, it managed to live.
"GGRRRRUOH!"
[The [Ruler of the Swamp] has activated [Call for Help]!]
[Several Monster allies have answered the call!]
SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH!
Dozens of giant Anglerfishes only slightly smaller than the Boss emerged all together, as they pointed their open jaws at us, firing hundreds of Poison Bullets!
[The [Giant Poison Anglerfishes] have activated [Poison Bullet Barrage]!]
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Each bullet had the size of a car and exploded into a loud explosion of poison. It frustrated me this bastard could ignore my poison immunity with his damned ability, which even applied to his subjects through his [Subject Enhancement] Skill.
"I guess you leave me no choice, I am a bit tired of playing around…" I sighed. "[Miasmic Spears]"
Miasma gathered within my surroundings, shaping as hundreds of sharp spears pointing at the Boss and his subjects.
"Die."
