Chapter 276: Against The Boss Monster



Anzo took a confident step forward, his massive greatsword hovering behind him, seemingly weightless as it began to rotate rapidly in midair, the force of its motion stirring the toxic air around them. His red mana surged, wrapping the blade in a crimson aura and causing it to hum loudly.

'Wait... he isn't going to wield it with his hand? Then what's up with all that muscle?' Alister thought, slightly perplexed by the bizarre way Anzo decided to use that dragon arm.

[A/N: Some dragons are born with weapons or obtain weapons from parts of their bodies as they age. These weapons are called Dragon Arms. For the dragon god, it was Restria.] "Time to make you regret waking up," Anzo yelled, his smirk widening.

With a swift motion of his hand, he hurled the spinning greatsword toward the Hydra. The massive weapon tore through the air, its speed creating a crimson streak.

SHINK!

The blade cleaved through one of the Hydra's heads in a single, devastating strike, the severed head crashing into the swamp with a splash.

"Booya! That's my money's worth!" Anzo shouted, punching the air triumphantly.

But his celebration was cut short when the severed head began to regenerate before his eyes. In mere moments, a new head had formed, its yellow eyes glaring at them.

"What the hell?" Anzo yelled, his excitement turning into frustration.

The Hydra let out another deafening roar, shaking the very ground beneath them.

Alister remained calm, observing the scene with a faint smirk. "It has powerful regenerative capabilities," he explained. "Attacks like that won't work in the long run."

Anzo spun to face him, irritation clear on his face. "Then why the hell are you here? Where are your dragons, huh? Wouldn't now be a good time to bring them in?"

Alister's smirk widened into a confident smile as he turned to gaze at Anzo. "I told you before, this boss is mine, remember?"

Anzo wore a confused expression on his face. "Wait... you don't mean you're going to go head-to-head with that thing, right?"

Alister smiled as he said, "Yes."

Anzo couldn't believe him. "What kind of joke is that? I know you're strong, SSS Rank and all that, but you're a Summoner, no?"

Alister chuckled, turning his attention back to the Hydra, its eight heads hissing. "Just try to keep up, Anzo. I'll show you how it's done."

The faint shimmer of Alister's golden aura intensified as he flexed his claws, stepping forward toward the massive creature.

Suddenly, Alister's figure blurred, then vanished entirely from Anzo's view.

"What the-?!" Anzo muttered, his eyes darting frantically across the battlefield. "That's speed like a physical enhancement user!"

Hovering slightly above the ground using his telekinesis, Anzo scoffed, gripping his spinning greatsword with a telekinetic pull.

"Don't think I'm gonna let you show me up!" he yelled. "I'll just have to dice that thing into so many pieces it won't have a chance to regenerate!"

Before Anzo could act, Alister reappeared, this time directly below the Hydra's towering heads.

With a sudden burst of power, Alister crouched, the ground beneath him cracking, and then, with a massive...

BOOM!

He leaped. He shot into the air like a missile, his golden aura blazing brightly around him.

heads at once in a single arc.

THWACK! THWACK!

The Hydra stumbled, ichor pouring from its wounds, but its regeneration was relentless. The severed heads began to grow back, now faster than before, their yellow eyes glowing even

brighter.

"Alister, this isn't working!" Anzo shouted. "We're just making it mad!"

"It's all part of the plan," Alister replied, landing atop a new section of the Colosseum. The stone cracked under his feet, but he didn't seem bothered. "Keep wearing it down. It's only a

matter of time."

"You have a plan?!" Anzo scoffed, dodging another sweep of the Hydra's tail that tore through a nearby statue. "Won't you call over one of your dragons to burn the thing to the

ground or something?"

"We're going to run out of ruins to hid with before that thing runs out of heads!"

Alister smirked, launching himself toward the Hydra again with a leap, Alister struck another devastating blow, his kick landing with a resounding BOOM that sent shockwaves through the battlefield, forcing the Hydra to stagger back once more.

Anzo steadied himself mid-air, his spinning greatsword orbiting around him like a satellite.

He glanced at Alister, who landed on the crumbled Colosseum wall, still looking calm and confident despite the Hydra's monstrous roar.

"So," Anzo called out, "do you actually have a plan? Or do you plan to just kick that thing to

death?"

Alister chuckled softly, brushing a strand of silver hair from his face. "Kicking it to death doesn't sound too bad," he teased, "but no. I have a plan."

Anzo raised an eyebrow, his sword slowing its rotation as he waited for more. "Care to share

with the rest of the class, or is it one of those 'mysterious team leader secret' things where

you act all cool and keep me in the dark?"

Alister's smirk deepened, seemingly unfazed by the Hydra's never ending regeneration. The massive creature hissed and roared, thrashing wildly, its tails whipping through the air and tearing apart what little remained of the ancient Colosseum.

"I've got it handled, all you have to do is follow orders, let this be a team building exercise," Alister said confidently, leaping to another crumbling column with ease. His claws glowed brighter, golden mana swirling around them. "Just keep it busy, don't stop your attacks, and

don't let it pin you down."

Anzo groaned, his greatsword spinning back into position over his shoulder. "Keep it busy, he says," he muttered sarcastically.

Anzo raised his hand, his red mana flaring as he sent his blade rocketing forward.

WHIRR! THUNK!

The greatsword embedded itself into one of the Hydra's necks, pinning the head to a stone

pillar with a sickening crack. Blood sprayed out, sizzling as it splattered onto the ground.

The Hydra screeched, its remaining heads lashing out in fury. One shot a torrent of green poison at Anzo, while another snapped its jaws toward Alister. SSSSHHHHHHHH!
