Chapter 281
Defense Specialization and the Floating Stones 2
They hopped on the floating boulders and cut their way through another wolf ambush . And while giant boulders continued to fly towards them, Maple was always rescued by Sally . Eventually, they arrived at the deepest part of the area .
Here, there were several boulders floating above flat terrain . The wind was blowing like a tornado and in the center, there was a giant that was made entirely of wind .
I dont think well be able to kill that in one hit . We better be careful .
Yes! Leave it to me!
Maple pointed her barrels at it . At the same time, the giant also went into a battle stance . The tornado that surrounded it became stronger and the floating boulders began to move .
Huh!? But I cant dodge those!
There was the sound of metal hitting against something hard, and Maple went flying into the air .
Of course, more than one boulder assaulted her, and Maple was bounced around like a ping pong ball .
Wa-wawawawaaa!
Maple! Thats too I dont think I can help you Ah, I have to concentrate!
Sally lowered her stance and shifted between accelerating and stopping . It was all she could do to dodge the boulders as she got closer .
And as Maple was being blown around the field, Sally could not depend on the effects of Dedicated Affection .
Oboro, Demon Flame! Fire Child!
Sally ordered Oboro . Then blue flames appeared all over her body and increased her damage output . Furthermore, flames stretched out from her daggers, increasing her reach .
She spun her body and cut through the wind that the giant had unleashed . Then she slashed deeply into the giants arm without losing momentum .
As the red damage effects flew, so did the blue flames around her .
Oboros MP isstill fine!?
Then Sally saw the lasers being fired from behind the giants back, and she quickly jumped away .
However, it turned out that it was meant to damage the giant and not Sally . She saw the damage effects rise into the air .
Maple? Woah, shes going crazy
While Maple was being bounced around by the boulders, she wasnt taking any damage . And so she utilized this to move at a high speed and then use Poltergeist to randomly unleash her lasers and other attacks . Occasionally, she would make her weapons detonate and bash against the boulders on purpose . This made it difficult for the boss to hit her with its masses of wind .
Is ita field gimmick? Well, I should do what I can .
If Maple currently had its attention while racking up damage, that meant that Sally could use a skill that would usually take too much time .
Sally moved close to one of its legs and activated the skills .
Quintaple Slash, Power Attack!
There was additional damage from Demon Flame and the follow-up attack from Pursuing Blade, and Sword Dance, which affected everything, on top of buffs from items . These resulted in damage that was nearly unbelievable coming from daggers .
When the damage effects died down, one of the giants legs disappeared, and it fell to the ground .
Its our chance!
Sally dodged the flying rocks and moved to the giants head, which she slashed repeatedly .
However, a great boulder came flying towards her as if to interrupt her attacks .
Oboro! Spirited Away!
Sally commanded, and then she disappeared . It wasnt like Quick Shadow, which made her invisible . This was a skill that erased your existence completely for one second .
And you could not hit what did not exist . And since she used it right before it hit her, the boulder passed through as if nothing had happened .
Yes, success! Oboro, Binding Barrier!
As things were going well, Sallys attacks accelerated even more . Maple was still flying wilding about the field and damaging the giant with her lasers . And the result was that the boss could not survive Sallys attacks .
There was one last gust of wind, and then the floating rocks became still . At the same time, Maple was tossed to the ground and rolled towards Sallys feet .
Obviously, she was unhurt, but she still looked unstable as she wobbled up to Sally .
Good work! Oboro sure can do a lot now! Oh Im reminded of Mi .
Oboro does fire and illusions . And I guess I do water and ice? What do you think? This blade when I used Demon Flame . Isnt it cool?
Yes! You look like a ninja, I think? And that rock went right through you!
Thanks to Oboro, I have one more way to get out of nearly impossible situations . Anyway, this is whats important!
Sally scooped up the red gemstone from the ground . It had been the giants eye .
Now we just need to go to the ruins that Kanade told us about .
I hope thats it . Fighting bosses is quite hard
As there was nothing else for them to gather right now, they decided to head for the ruins . They wouldnt know if they needed something until they got there .
Alright, lets go! Lets go! I cant wait to see what is there!
Yes, yes . Okay, get on the horse again .
Yes!
Since they had everything they needed, they got on the horse and headed for the ruins .
