Chapter 594 Addressing the ‘Lizard in the Room’ II

Bhak pulled back the spear and flipped it, preparing to deliver a full-powered slash towards this assailant, however, it was now hit by a sudden wave of weakness that made it stagger slightly.

Its strength and speed were sucked from its body, and it temporarily lost its balance, while Greed used Mammonas to meet its incoming slash and deflect it without issue.

Following up, Greed thrust out his sword, aimed towards the monster's torso and released a focused blast of aura that knocked it backwards by a dozen metres.

The Lizard Lord's legs dug through the ground as it slid backwards, only stopping after it anchored its spear into the ground to kill its momentum.

However, after it stabbed the spear into the ground, it could not pull it back out, and neither could it move its legs that had dug into the earth.

To add to this, its strength continued to wane.

A black portal rimmed with golden energy manifested less than a dozen metres in front of it, and beside that portal, a gigantic flower shoot emerged from the earth, its petals opening to unleash a beam of concentrated magic power towards it.

Simultaneously, the portal vomited a stream of golden lightning-attributed energy, the two slamming into the Lizardman who had been rendered immobile by its own shadow.

***BOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!

The Lizard Lord's body was rocked by the two combined energy beams and tossed violently into the air before crashing down and rag-dolling on the ground.

In one short moment when its body bounced back up into the air, a rose of flames bloomed on its chest, accompanied by the lightning-fast fist of a certain Lightning spirit that knocked its body into the ground forming a massive crater around where it landed

Right after, a flaming fist-shaped construct dropped from the sky, crashing onto its body and further driving it deeper into the ground.

"Life Energy Draining Prison."

Eliza activated her skill, forming a do-decagonal prison of green light that devoured its health values. Greed also switched up the stat he was absorbing, leaving its speed alone and concentrating more of his power on reducing that 'SS-' strength stat as much as possible.

Pride and Amy attempted to unleash a combo attack on the monster, but when they sensed a surge of energy coming from above, they retracted their energies and took distance from where it was.

"Vortex!"

A swirling mass of prismatic flames barrelled down towards the fallen Lizard Lord; its body still held tightly to the ground by Kuro's shadows.

Knowing the danger behind Evan's flames and resolving not to get hit by them, the Lizard Lord parted its lips and spoke through gritted teeth. n--o/)V.)e-/l-(b)-1)-n

[Summon Household.]

Ten magic circles manifested in a circle around Bhak's body, and from each one, a Lizardman emerged with a roar.

From one of the circles, a giant Lizardman, about ten metres tall made its appearance, roaring loudly as if it wanted the whole world to hear.

Unfortunately for it, Evan's incoming vortex crashed right onto the top of its head, engulfing its upper body in bright multicoloured flames while the swirling energy shredded apart its scales and flesh.

Blood rained down from above drenching the ground below in a volume that let everyone know the giant Lizardman was dead.

The other newly summoned Lizardmen all looked on with shock, as one of their companions had just died mere moments after being summoned.

What they did not know, was that using it as a sacrifice to take Evan's attack had always been Bhak's real intention of summoning it.

This also brought Bhak enough time to break out of the shadowy binds covering its body using a burst of its fiery aura.

As for Evan, he jumped off the dead Lizardman and let its corpse fall forward, before clicking his tongue and speaking in annoyance.

"This is one thing I hate about Raid Bosses, they like summoning minions!"

Holding up his left hand and activating a skill, Evan continued.

"For you, Lizard Lord, we don't have the time to deal with your minions."

'Elemental Armament Barrage.'

Upon command, an array of weapons formed from his golden aura manifested in the air, their blades and tips pointing towards the Lizardmen with unerring precision.

'Milena, Aquafire.'

[On it.]

Blue flames swirled around the swords and spears he had conjured using his skill, and with a snap of his fingers, they rained down on the 9 minion Lizardmen, riddling their bodies with holes and leaving behind a tapestry of punctured scales and flesh.

Even so, these minions were grandmasters; just one barrage wasn't enough to kill them.

And that's where Eliza came into play.

"Lethality Manipulation."

All of their injuries, even the slightest scratch split open into gaping wounds that spurted blood like a fountain. And down to the ground, the corpses of the Lizardmen dropped.

[Level Up]

Eliza dismissed the notification and then turned her attention to the Lizard Lord who had gotten back on its feet while they handled the minions.

Its spear was coated not in flames like before, but in a mass of darkness-attributed aura, which it then pulled back and threw out like a Javelin.

[Dark Lance of the Abyss!]

Bhak hurled the spear of darkness into the air, sending it flying at supersonic speed, right towards Evan.

For a moment, the boy considered teleporting away, but he decided against it, with the intention of keeping his blink skill hidden for now.

'In that case...'

Magic power and aura swirled around his sword, quickly taking on an iridescent hue as he infused it with the flames of Mesarthim.

Thrusting the sword forward, he activated his unique skill.

"Vortex!"

**BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!

The whirling spiral mass of energy collided with the dark lance in a massive explosion, with energies surging out wildly and shockwaves rippling throughout the entirety of the 100th floor of the dungeon.

Evan's body was sent flying through the air due to the force of the explosion, but he flipped around mid-air and landed on his feet.

His companions attacked the Lizard Lord this time, but the monster silently clenched its left fist, with a four-ringed magic circle appearing around its wrist; one Evan recognized

"Shit! Get back, everyone! Liz, Barrier!"

They all heeded his warning and quickly jumped backwards, even so, that did not deter Bhak from activating his spell.

[Nova Magic: Venomous Nova!]

*BOOM!

There was an explosion of energy, with a thick toxic gas bursting out to create a poisonous cloud in the vicinity. The gas spread very quickly, and in mere seconds, half the boss room had been engulfed by it.

Eliza slammed her staff on the ground and created a multi-layered barrier wall to seal off the other half, but when the gas came in contact with her barrier, it melted holes through its multiple layers.

This much was expected, after all, it was a 'Nova Magic' spell. Just like the 'Ice Nova' spell that Evan favoured.

In the face of this Poison Storm, Pride snapped her fingers and activated her idiosyncrasy—something only Evan and Greed noticed—and then a phenomenon that dumbfounded Bhak occurred.

The cloud of poison gas storming towards them was suddenly sucked towards the High Demon's palm within no less than five seconds. She then closed her palm and opened it up, revealing a small transparent cube with said poison gas trapped inside.

[...the what?!]

Bhak exclaimed as it threw its spear out once more, using its Dark Lance technique but Eliza layered dozens of divergent wards in its trajectory to block it, preventing it from even reaching the barrier she had erected to block the poison.

With the knowledge that Pride had somehow turned its poison gas cloud that could wipe out a town in but a minute to a small cube in her palm, Bhak locked onto her, retrieving its spear and charging straight towards the high demon.

With a powerful swing, it sliced through Eliza's barrier, blitzing straight for the woman, however, its path was blocked by a young fair-skinned redhead, whose entire body was covered in flames that made even Bhak sweat.

Just like Evan had influenced Milena through their contract and caused her to gain a Flame Attunement, Pride's darkness affinity had also done the same to Amy, the result being the intense dark flames that spread out from her body and halted the Lizard Lord's charge.

The spirit took a stance and generated a huge great sword that was a bit taller than she was with the black flames, whilst Kuro silently fiddled with Bhak's shadow and made it hug him tightly, rendering him immobile.

'This again?!'

Bhak held back its urge to curse out loud and instead focused on trying to break out of the binds, but unlike before, these were a lot harder to deal with.

At the same time, a huge pearl of golden lightning manifested in the air above him, with artificial storm clouds forming around it.

The intense wave of flames released from Amy's body then converged into her hands, forming a large great sword construct of black flames as she took a stance.

Immediately after, she spun her body around and swung the sword forward, releasing a wide slash of flames that transformed into a huge five-metre-tall tiger.

The tiger roared wildly as it pounced forward and bit on Bhak's upper body with its jaws, at the exact same time that Kayla's hands waved downwards.
