Chapter 70.2
(EP-70.2) Casting Shadow # 6
070 – Shadows Looming Ark #6
Its huge mouth let out a roar so loud that it felt like my ears were deafened.
“Come!”
Elga raised her halberd. However, the sea cucumber monster Gamagin suddenly turned its head and hid in the darkness.
Chwareureureu.
It would leave lumps of goo and disgusting slime wherever it passed by.
“What? Running away?”
Elga confusedly looked at Gamigin who turned its tail. The monster was nowhere to be seen in this wide and chaotic square.
But, I knew where it was.
“Above…!”
“Above-?”
Elga raised her head. At the same time, she jumped back.
Badump!
Then, something thiccc fell on where Elga was just at. It was, undoubtedly, the giant monster Gamigin.
Squish, squish-.
Gamigin laid flattened like a cartoon character before restoring its chunky shape.
『How did you know!?』
Gamigin seemed surprised that its surprise attack had been detected. Meanwhile, I was rejoicing on the inside because my prediction was correct.
The Samigina in the novel and this Gamigin actually shared the same attack pattern!
At first, it would pretend to disappear into the darkness, before suddenly striking from above.
It probably meant that it was able to stick on walls and pillars, or hang upside down from the ceiling using its slimy body.
『Geureueueueu-! Aleister-!』
Angry at the failure of the surprise attack, the monster shouted high into the air. With that, the Eldritch Aleister, who had been suspended in the air, began to move.
━Lognas. Itum kila.
The blue flames wrapped around the Lich’s hands started increasing in size.
The only reason why it hadn’t fired at us was probably because of Mirna Draco– who was kneeling on the ground as if in prayer.
At this moment, I had come to accept this unexpected boss fight which was different from the novel.
Mad Necromancer, the mid-boss at the end of Part 1.
Predator Samigina, the mid-boss of Part 2.
And we had to deal with these two at the same time? Bosses that the main character’s party struggled to deal with individually?
How the heII did this happen!?
… Was it because I twisted the original flow of the story? Or how I prevented Aira from being executed and shipped her off to Ark?
Or was it because the Draco Family, who should have returned to Angmar from Ark, still remained here?
‘No, calm down.’
I could think about this after the battle was over. For now, I had to focus on surviving.
I shouted at Elga who was facing Gamigin.
“Elga-nim! The monster’s weakness is its lower body! At first glance, it may look like its upper body is the weakness, but that’s a trap! It’s a trap, so ignore it and attack the lower body instead!”
“What!? How do you know that!?”
Asking the source of the information in this situation.
This was a natural thing to do.
However, there was a magic phrase that I could use to dispel this awkwardness.
“Is there anything that hasn’t worked out the way I said so far? Trust me!”
“…….”
Instead of answering, Elga gripped her Halberd tight and lowered her head, bending at her waist.
Gooooo-.
I could see her body tensing up like a loaded arrow. The flames burning around Elga were also gradually being extinguished.
“Ha-!”
With a roar, Elga’s body compressed like a spring, before shooting out as if it was a comet.
Elga passed through the body of the monster at a speed that could only be described as a flash of gold in one’s naked eyes.
Chwaaaaaak-!
The monster Gamigin’s body was left with a wound from the intense blow that carved a horizontal gash in its sea cucumber-like lower body.
That was probably ‘Lion Roar’, something like Elga Lioness’ ultimate technique.
I had some thoughts on what it was based on the novel, but this was the first time I had actually seen it.
『Ggeuieeek-! So, soon…!』
Ggureul, ggureul, ggureul.
Tar-like intestines flowed out from the cut, giving off a foul smell. It was quite a fatal injury for anyone.
However, opponents with an irregular torso would have good resilience as portrayed in any media.
“It’ll heal soon! Elga-nim, you have to keep pushing! And be careful not to inhale the gas from the burning mucus, it’s highly toxic!”
“Are there any other weaknesses? Can I just attack the lower body like this?”
“Attacking the lower body will expose a heart-like organ on the inside! Just poke that part!”
The boss fight of the Villain Hunter Party quickly flashed through my mind. If my prediction was correct, the weaknesses should be the same.
『Geueueu, hey, you Nymph-!』
Ususususu.
A chill ran down my spine. It meant that the monster’s attention was directed towards me.
『How did you even know that!?』
Such a reaction was so clear and transparent, completely opposite of its muddy body.
Perhaps because I was caught off guard, I couldn’t even afford to pretend that I was just spitting nonsense.
『How did you know about me!? Who are you!?』
The problem was that his attention began to focus on me, not on Elga or Mirna.
… Did I attract too much aggro?
『I will kill you and rip off that little head of yours, and pull your soul out. I’ll know your secrets by then!』
