Chapter 180 - The Unforeseen Draw— the Appearance of <Fat Ball Ghost, Special Edition>

"Ohh, I wonder if this counts as being lucky?"

"Fatty Ghost isn't here... "

"Zephyr-kun, it's that right?"

We had a comfortable break in the safety area of <Ghost Cave Dungeon> before passing through the door of the boss room but stopped altogether.

For the reason was we couldn't see the owner of the boss room, Fatty Ghost, anywhere. Transfer formation hasn't been activated yet and there also aren't any other battle signs left behind that can indicate that the boss has been defeated by someone.

Then this situation only means one thing,

"Yes, that means we have a rare boss to grab. Seriously, we really lucked out to draw a rare boss, naturally something whose probability of happening is incredibly low ... "

"Zephyr, are rare bosses real? I’ve only heard that it's a rarely seen phenomenon."

"Undoubtedly. There's no room for doubt after so many encounters with bosses."

"Hnn, what is a rare boss?"

"Don't you know?"

In contrast to Rika's strained expression when she heard my reply, Karua seems clueless about the situation. What a shock, someone doesn't know about them...

"Basically, they are stronger than regular bosses! Something like an evolved version."

"Well, on a general basis, it's just as she said."

"Hnn, understood."

I thought it was my place to explain when someone doesn't know something, but Lana explained it ahead of me.

That's一一 oh well.

But I'm sure she wouldn't be aware of the next information. Time to get back my "the‘ one who knows all role",’

"The original boss here is a fatty ghost. As I have already explained to you guys on the way, it's a formidable enemy that mainly relies on a quantity of physical attacks. But, the rare boss <Special Fatty> is even more difficult to deal with."

As soon as my words ended, the inside of the room began to shine. It's the effect of a rare boss appearing out.

And then, a fat... or not— ghost with muscles bursted out, the <Special Fatty>, gradually materializes. The rare boss physique is just as plump as a sumo wrestler.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

It's also known as <Ultimate Nemesis of MusclesTMK> or <Festival Loving Muscle Fatty>. Though it's more commonly called as <Spe-Fat>.

Not only does this boss have the <Ghostly Physique> in which the prided muscles of the <Berserk> doesn't work, the boss has a magnificent super macho body that exceeds the <Berserks> who take pride in their bodies!

The memory of <Berserks> losing against those muscles and even losing their fighting spirit afterward, causing a big upheaval in the academy is still fresh in my mind.

"The special fatty is the strengthened version of the original fatty ghost! Not only can it divide itself into <Tiny Ghost Version>, even its main body would attack physically! Rear guard should pays attention not to attack its main body during that time, otherwise the aggro of the tiny ghost will shift to you and they will swarm towards you like locusts! Our strategy for the tiny ghosts is still the same as how we deal with fatty ghosts, so save up your strength and attack with your attack when it is just about to fuse. Let's go!"

" Got it!"

The battle begins after I finish the brief explanation I can manage in the available short amount of time.

"Hehehehehe!"

The Fatty slowly begins to show move while showcasing it’s bursting muscles.

"Gahhhh!"

"Take and return!"

The muscles of the <Spe-Fat> throbs, made a groaning sound and threw a heavy punch at Rika.

However, Rika calmly parries it using her defensive skill.

"Ge!?"

"Woah, that was a sick move just now. What a wonderful use of parry!"

"Hnn. Rika's sweeping stroke is the best in the world"

Rika, who defended herself from the attack with a splendid parry despite the size difference, swung down her dual blades.

"<Swallow flip>!"

"Geh!"

Rika unleashed her counterattack with the <Swallow Flip> with a great momentum after the parry but... the damage doesn't seem as much as imagined due to the ghost body which slips through the attack.

"Hmph."

Rika pouted, realizing the situation but for me, it was as if she had shown me a miracle.

The fluent combo of <Taunt>, <Parry> and <Counterattack> was awfully cool! I can also do this if luck prevails but I know my success rate is still much worse compared to her.

Decided, I will ask Rika-sensei to teach me some skills next time!

"Guhehehe! Pop-Pop × 12!"

Oops, I almost forgot we are fighting the boss right now.

This is the second step. This time, 24 tiny ghosts pop out of the boss's body.

"Damn, we missed the timing!"

"Hey hey, don't you think that muscle ghost is producing pipsqueaks surprisingly fast!"

Complaints fly out from the rearguard behind me who missed the chance to unleash their ultimate attacks.

Well, it seems like we still have a long way to go. Rika wasn't able to pull enough aggro and naturally, the rearguard couldn't attack at that moment. Although it's a fact that the second fission of the <Spe-Fat> was faster than expected, our cooperation level was far from being enough.

"<Appeal>!"

The next thing after the failure was just the exact repetition of step 1. I draw away the pipsqueaks and eradicate them together with Lana's range of offensive magic.

Then,

"<Divine Wall>!"

"<Force Sonic>! <Quick Slash>!"

Hannah creates the light wall through <Divine Wall>, a holy attribute area defense magic which deals massive damage to the small fries who plunged themselves into it and Karua took out the remaining pipsqueaks.

Karua's slash skill, <Force Sonic>, falls into the same category as mine <Sonic Sword> which emphasis on quick motion. It's quite a strong skill since you can pull out as much as 4 slashes in succession if you're a dual dagger wielder.

<Quick Slash> is another slashing skill which can be used while performing swift actions. To describe it short, you slash and run away while evading, i.e. Hit and run!

In this way, we finished defeating the 24 bodies of tiny ghosts quite easily. I wonder if it can be called a cakewalk?
