Chapter 411 One Tough Boss

"For now, stay back. I will go in first to test the waters." I did not want to send anyone in just yet if we did not know exactly what this boss was capable of. But I do have a feeling that this will end up being a battle of endurance. We will need to fight even if we do very little damage to it.

I rushed in with sword in hand, wanting to test how much physical damage will do to the boss. Sure enough, though, as soon as I entered the middle of the room, the boss suddenly stood up, towering in the air. The huge boss room barely had enough room for how tall this boss was.

<strong>*Whirrrrlllllll!*</strong>

It made a strange sound before beating its chest like a gorilla and slamming its fist toward me. I quickly dodged to the side as I ran too close in but soon realized it was not a single attack. A rain of rocky fists suddenly powered down on top of me as I moved back and forth, avoiding them. The ground shook, along with dust and debris being shot into the air. This alone was enough to make me form a barrier around myself so I would not be affected by it.

I decided to take this chance as one of the fists were coming down to parry it and slash down onto the rocking arm that it was attached to. A clanging sound was heard as my hand vibrated from the impact. I could only frown as I spun my body around and aimed for one of the joints. Once again, my sword was reflected off its hard surface.

Seeing how my sword was of no use, I shot a few balls of each element at the arm to see if that would do any damage, and once again, I gained no results. "This is not working. I will try the head!"

The entire boss was made of solid stone except for two spots. One was the red ominous eye in the head and the black glowing core in the middle of its chest. I quickly cast a barrage of attacks at both spots, only to find my attacks to be quickly blocked by some kind of barrier. I could not feel any magic fluctuation in this barrier which made me frown even more. "This thing is like an impenetrable fortress!"

I quickly retreated and stood away out of arm's reach of the boss. As soon as I did leave its range of attack, it stopped moving once more. "Faith, how was it?"

"No good, not a single attack got through. No damage was done at all." I frowned as I looked up at the huge monster who was frozen in place. "There is some kind of barrier around the two spots that should be its weakness. But they are not made of magic, so I am unsure what to do."

"Faith if you go into your dragon form, do you think you can hold it off? I can try to use my dimensional attacks to bypass the barrier." Sophie suggested. I thought for a moment before nodding my head. "We can try, but you need to stay in your void. Do not come out when you attack."

"Don't worry. I saw how quick it was. I will not let myself get hurt." Sophie replied. I smiled and ran forward as I shouted out: "Get ready! When you see me grab it, attack!"

I did not wait for her to agree before suddenly turning into my new dragon form. My entire figure grew to the same size as the golem. I reached out and grabbed a hold of it. But I suddenly realized something was wrong. As soon as I grabbed it, it immediately flung my arms away and punched me in my stomach! I felt the wind suddenly being knocked out of me as I was sent flying across the room. But I know why this happened. I couldn't sink my claws into it! A barrier appeared!

"Faith!" I heard the others call out as I tried to catch my breath. Luckily my defenses were still high in dragon form, or else I might have been swatted to death. I looked up to see Sophie swing her sword through the void to use her void slash. I was hopeful that it would work, but that hope was quickly shattered. The attack was still blocked, and nothing got through. Sophie quickly retreated, feeling defeated.

"Now what!?" Sei cried out as she stared at the massive golem.

At least we could attack it without much problem, but the fact of the matter was, was that we were in a pickle since we would be stuck here until we could defeat this stupid thing. Even if we could attack, it was useless if we could not do any damage to it. Thinking for a moment, I yelled out to Adel. "Adel, can you use cosmic magic and try to stop it?"

"I can try, but I think you should do it, no? You are closer to it in level." Adel had a point. I returned to my humanoid form and landed on the ground.

"Then let's try this. I will use cosmic magic at the same time as Adel, and if it works, I want the rest of you to attack the core on its chest with your strongest attacks. But only if it works. We will know if I get into range to use my magic." This was a long shot, but if this does work, we will be able to tear this big boy down. Although it still annoys me that my dragon form was swatted away like a fly. It actually took a bit of three hundred thousand health in that one attack. Luckily my current armor actually melds with my dragon form, too, which is quite nice. It gives me a kind of black scaled armor on top of my blood red scales.

At any rate, right now, we can only hope this works in stopping the stupid barrier on the boss from blocking our attacks. "Everyone get ready. I am going in!"
