chapter 454: fight with digragni (2)
digragni disappeared, and then appeared in the middle of allen's party to attack.
(hm? i guess the attack's damage rolls off quickly above ground.)
even though everyone had been blown back, allen noticed his allies' strength was still high.
cecile and the others riding on bird b summons had taken less damage than kurena.
using what he learned and his friends' state, allen gave new orders.
"sophie, build a barrier! merus you go back with the rear guard!!"
"understood. earth spirit pigmy, protect us with your strong walls."
sophie quickly made an earth spirit appear.
'i'm on it.'
a young boy wearing straw clothes and shoes appeared.
his face was largely covered by a har, but he looked quite rowdy.
sophie channeled her mana and the spirit built a wall where allen and formar stood.
'do you really think that will do anything? round burst!!'
whooooom
"kyah?!"
digragni's hammer arm easily plowed through the wall and he charged at sophie.
'hmph!!'
'whoa?!'
but merus was already there, easily pushing back the enormous body of digragni.
(his attack range is incredibly broad. and it's hard for us to attack.)
digragni was very mobile, and trying to hit him with magic could lead to friendly fire.
"hey, my skills don't work at all!! what the hell?!!"
just like with gordino, luck's debuffs did not work on digragni which annoyed him.
but he also seemed terrified watching merus and digragni fight so close to him.
luck's debuffs were not working, but he was not the only member with such issues.
"it's not looking good for you either, makris?"
'nothing seems to stick. this might be impossible for me.'
(shooting star doesn't work either. i guess we can't use debuffs on digragni then.)
allen had also told merus to try using his [attribute enhancement] but it did not work.
not even merus or makris' high stats were enough to change digragni's element.
intelligence dictated whether debuff skills would be effective in this world.
if not even makris or merus could use them, then no debuffs in allen's party would work.
they had just defeated gordino earlier, so allen's summons were still there.
the bird b summons were already helping the rear guard, letting them attack and defend better.
merle on tam-tam rushed behind gordino, holding him together with merus.
"yahhhh!!!"
'you're slow, but i'll become even faster. mode change!!'
"huhh?! he's changing forms!!"
whirrrrr
clank clank
whooooooooooom!!!
digragni transformed and moved right away, so tam-tam's fist struck emptiness.
two jet engines appeared on his back and his body became slimmer before taking off.
gordino's boss room was wide, and also extremely tall.
from the air, digragni could freely attack both the frontline and rear guard.
that meant their formation was no longer useful. dogora then screamed with a loud voice.
"formation break!!!"
as he shouted loudly, a magic circle appeared around his body.
it quickly spread around, reaching of his allies.
[name] dogora
[age] 16
[blessings] goddess of fire (large), fire resistance
[talent] barbarian king
[level] 99
[strength] 8729 + 10000 (blessing) + 9600 (true fighting spirit)
[mana] 4007 + 10000 + 4800
[attack] 8988 + 10000 + 9600
[endurance] 8235 + 10000 + 9600
[agility] 6213 + 10000 + 9600
[intelligence] 3845 + 10000 + 4800
[luck] 6028 + 10000 + 9600
"i know. but considering how he's moving..."
"huh? do you think..."
allen noticed something from digragni's movements. he felt like something bad was coming.
"this will be a long fight, prepare yourselves."
"why? let's just hit him with everything we have."
"no, that'll only work if he was alone. we need to fight this out."
allen suggested they extend the fight.
but that meant it was hard to tell when the fight would end.
during their time in the academy, allen had found a summon switch in a dungeon, which brought a monster when hit.
that led to an incident where allen's interests clashed with those of his party.
he kept hitting the switch over and over without breaks, not even to eat, until cecile accidentally hit allen's head with fire magic.
allen still did not understand why cecile had done that.
the fight went on. digragni changed shape many times, while the pentapods healed him.
(this seems like an endless cycle. does he even use mana? still, he's making a lot of movements, they have to mean something. or is he just so happy to fight?)
six hours had passed, but digragni still had plenty of mana.
he kept transforming and launching all sorts of attacks on allen's party.
"hmm, maybe it'll be time soon."
allen tried to read digragni's intention from his movements.
he did not seem to be used to long fights, his movements becoming rougher.
"hey, allen! do something already!!"
cecile had shouted so many times, but allen finally turned to look at her for the first time.
"yeah, i know."
'you're too full of yourself to think you can look away while fighting me!!'
digragni had also been examining their actions.
"ghah!!"
allen was punched by digragni and sent flying.
allen's friends all gathered around him, the summons also retreated, which digragni noticed.
'foolish humans gathering in one place. i'll show you something special. come pentapods!!'
(oh? this is looking good.)
'''keek keek!!'''
digragni considered it an advantage that his opponents had gathered there.
the pentapods transformed in an instant and formed a large cannon.
digragni took hold of the cannon, light starting to gather at its muzzle.
'grand laser!!'
digragni shot a concentrated beam of light.
"i see, so that's his special ability. makris, get ready! everyone, match your attacks!!"
allen stood up like nothing happened.
'leave it to meee. freeze cannon!!'
makris' [freeze cannon] absorbed the beam of light as it traveled, shattering the cannon and digragni's arm.
allen's allies understood what he wanted to do, all of them using powerful skills.
"laser beam!!"
tam-tam's eyes used the skill [light gaze].
allen had told merle to call it [laser beam] instead.
'judgement thunder.'
merus also finally used his awakened skill [judgement thunder].
"small meteor!!"
the rest also used their extra skills. except for sophie, who waited just in case.
everyone attacked one after another, with cecile's [small meteor] following merus' attack.
makris had destroyed all the pentapods, so digragni also did not have a way to heal.
'nghaaaaaaaaahhh, that's not enough!!'
digragni used his intact right arm to stop cecile's flaming rock.
cracks ran down his hand, but he succeeded in deviating the meteor's path to the side.
but there were even more attacks coming from allen's allies.
dogora dashed up to digragni in an instant.
"body and soul!!"
the divine artifact kagutsuchi was plunged deep into digragni's cheek.
whooooom
at skill level 7, and with formation break active, dogora's attack was incredibly powerful.
"we did it!!"
seeing digragni's head shatter in front of them, everyone felt sure they had won.
tired of the long fight, cecile shouted with joy.
