Chapter 939 Amazing Equipment
-----
Takeshi summoned his fishing rod's Unique Skill while Laura gathered her Explosive Power around her, resembling a giant cloud of explosive flames imbued with chaos.
"[Great Sea Domain]!"
SPLAAASH!
Takeshi expanded his powerful domain and merged it with the swamp, controlling the waters and using them to quickly surround the S Rank Monster.
At the same time, his fishing rod's metallic thread traveled across the waters and emerged out of them, wrapping around the monster's body.
As it wrapped around its body, the scales started falling more rapidly and the tough metallic thread began to pierce through the flesh, letting it bleed rapidly.
Meanwhile, Laura's powers manifested into the form of several gigantic arms and fists, loaded with explosive power.
"Take this! [Explosive Chaos Demon's Fists]!"
The titanic fists landed on the beast, with explosions, big explosions, of course!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! nove(l)bi(n.)com
Each explosion took a nice chunk of HP from the S Rank beast, as it struggled to realize what was happening to it.
Its many tentacles, with eyes, fired more beams against us, but I blocked them with my weapons and Hecate's help.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"As long as I am around you're not hurting the kids."
With a confident smile, I raised my hand.
SPLAAASH!
Suddenly, hundreds of phantasmal hands fused together into a titanic phantom hand, grasping on the feast tightly!
"GRAAAH!"
The creature wasn't an S Rank for nothing though, in that second, it conjured hundreds of magic circles and fired explosive projectiles of darkness and chaos against us.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
At the same time, Laura and Takeshi were forced to step back due to the intensity of the magic, all while the boss reached the seas and, with immense fury, charged toward us.
It swam at lightning speed, and once it was close enough, its gigantic crab-like claws attempted to crush us like a pair of mighty hammers.
I felt it was my turn at this point, as I imbued Hecate with my Divine Thunder Body powers, as black and purple lightning surged from my entire body.
FLAAASH!
Hecate suddenly transformed, the beautiful dress becoming golden and fizzy, as if it had become made of pure lightning.
"Now!"
With my two weapons absorbing all this power and Hecate's abilities on top, a huge hand made of golden, black, and purple lightning emerged above the monster, while the weapons auras combined, forming a huge lightning hammer.
"This is a little copy of that one Skill Thor's Divine Spirit used...!" I smiled. "[Mjolnir's Strike]!"
The hammer went down rapidly, as an explosion of lighting engulfed everything.
CRASH!
The S Rank monster, already wounded from all the battle, ended dying immediately, fried alive by all the lightning coursing through its body.
This lightning had the power to purify miasma, dealing even more damage to a monster that seemed to have been prematurely and forcefully evolved using Miasma.
With that attack alone, the rest of the swamp started looking much clearer now, all the lightning killed the monsters living there and purified it quite a lot!
"Phew! Well, that was easy, wasn't it?" I asked Takeshi and Laura, who looked exhausted.
"I-I guess?" Takeshi wondered.
"It was a bit too tough for me." Laura sighed. "Well, we've fought worse things."
"Hahaha, let's take a break, looks like everyone's done over there." I said.
Fabian and every other trainee had already slain the monsters which my Undead helped on weakening and stopping.
Of course, so they could gain further battle experience, I also told the Undead to leave at least half the monsters intact, so they could be a bigger challenge.
So, in between easy pickings of EXP from weakened and nearly dead monsters, they also got to do some real fights against healthy and deadly ones, developing their battle experience.
I liked things balanced after all!
Lucifer, Partner, Emeraldine, Jonathan, and Tear ended doing nothing other than protect the backs of the trainees, as Takeshi, Laura, and I ended taking down the Boss all on our own.
Although I had heard the miasmic swamp as the end of this dungeon, it really wasn't...
The path kept going forwards to a deeper area, where I could sense there were some stairs. Looks like this dungeon has some unexplored areas, or maybe that had never been reported before.
