Chapter 349

Defense Specialization and thunder storm 2 .

As they had passed the last checkpoint, the four of them headed towards the top without resting .

So what did you think? Wasnt Hinata amazing?

Yes! It was incredible!

Um, uhh, I wasnt

In fact, Hinata is really the stronger one out of us!

Youre strong too, Velvet . But Ive never seen anyone like Hinata before .

You could not jump within range of Hinata without a good plan . Her attacks were harder to avoid than Velvets lightning, and once you got hit, you would be subject to a chain of attacks that might prevent you from moving for a long time . It was very dangerous .

Me and Hinata are unbeatable when together!

Velvet said with great confidence . Hinata looked a little embarrassed to be praised so much . However, the last battle had proved that this was no exaggeration .

Well, Sally and I are also unbeatable when together!

Thats great!

Since you said it so clearly, well have to live up to that expectation .

Alright, lets hurry up and get rid of this boss so I can see what Maples partner is capable of!

You reallyare looking forward to it, huh?

She was even more excited now that she had gotten a little preview . Velvet dashed up the slope as if she couldnt wait a moment longer .

Ah, but it will be the first time Ive fought the boss in a group of four . So it might be stronger than we expect .

It should be fine if all four of us do our best . If thats not enough, the boss must be incredibly

Everyone present had their own strengths and they were among the strongest . It was clear that most bosses didnt stand a chance against them .

Hinata! Im counting on you to deal with whatever it is we encounter!

Leave the defenses to me!

Ye-yes Thank you

The way that I deal damage is quite slow, so I suppose Maple and Velvet should be the main attackers?

Sally also didnt know how the boss would react to four challengers, so they would have to be flexible with how they would proceed . But as long as Hinata and Maple were there, they would be guaranteed some time to observe the boss and decide on their approach .

Regardless, the four of them had been able to arrive at the boss room without any real trouble, and so without hesitation, they opened the door and entered .

The top of the mountain caved in like a bowl, and it was surrounded by a wall of rock . It was like a giant colosseum . And in the center of this battle area, stood a stone statue that was twice as large as the earlier ones . It was holding a stone shield and spear and also wore armor .

Ive never seen it use a spear before! Hinata, give it all you got! Second Coming of the Thunder God!

Yes!

Alright, me too! Predator!

Hmm . Lets see what it does .

They all went into their battle stance but ensured that they remained within range of Maples Dedicated Affection . And like before, they slowly moved forward while cautious of the statues movements .

Here it comes!

After they were a certain distance from it, the statue began to move . It thrust its giant spear above its head . As the four of them waited, the stone statue bent its knees and then leapt high into the air .

Woah! It jumped!

Its going to come down and hit us!

Even from far away, the spear was shining visibly, and they could see that it was trying to break their formation with its first powerful hit .

But, in that case

We got this!

Uhh, Melting Wings!

As Hinata activated the skill, the statue that was shooting towards them suddenly lost its momentum . And then it fell to the ground .

Freezing Earth, Chain of Stars, Disaster Spread .

And just like that, Hinata used her skills to bind the statue to the ground . And as always, she began to lower its defense abilities . Thats when Maple directed her guns at it, and Sally and Velvet covered themselves in fire and thunder as they ran .

Electromagnetic Jump!

Path of Water!

Sally swam through the water, Velvet left her lightning behind and leapt forward . They bridged the distance in an instant and slammed their attacks into it .

Center of the Storm, Rain of Thunder, Field of Lightning!

Numerous bolts of lightning crashed around Velvet as she reached its feet . Mercilessly, they burned the stone statue and tore away chunks of its HP .

Quintuple Slash!

The immense amount of damage made it target Velvet next . In that moment, Sally attacked it with her skill . As this did much more damage than her normal attacks, it was more than enough, even when Sword Dance had not buffed her completely .

Commence Attack, Oozing Chaos!

As she could not use Hydra here, Maple supported them with powerful ranged attack skills from behind . Even the stone shield was not enough to block everything, and damage effects sprouted all over its body .

Freezing Earth could only stop it from moving away . And so it was able to bend away from certain attacks and thrust its spear towards Velvet, who was currently dealing the most damage .

Parry, Heaviest Attack, Chain Thunder Attack!

The spear hit and then bounced off of Velvets fist, missing her . Maples skill ensured that she was protected, and so Velvet used the opportunity to punch the stone statue right in the leg .

The electricity that erupted simultaneously caused an explosion of damage effects . The rain of thunder bolts continued to fall . In the meantime, Sally continued to unleash her attacks on the other side, and Maple continued her fire .

The boss took too much damage in a short amount of time, and yet, it was here that it was finally freed from Hinatas shackles . And so it tried to escape the range of Velvets thunder .

Me too! One more time!

Maple made her weapons explode as she flew towards it . Then she rolled on the ground until she reached its feet, and activated a skill . It was a skill that both Maple and Hinata had .

Freezing Earth!

As Maple shouted, the ground was covered in ice once again, and as the boss took a step back, it was bound to the ground .

Ill keep attacking!

Ill shred it!

This was their best chance . The boss had not been able to use the moment to escape, and so its fate would be no different than the checkpoint enemies .

Ahh, its already over .

It wasnt even that hard . Good work, Maple .

Yeah, you too .

Uhhafter this

Now that the boss was dead, Velvet turned to Sally . Apparently, Sally hadnt changed her mind about it either, and she nodded wordlessly . And so Velvet wasted no time in challenging her to a duel .

You can do it, Sally!

I wont lose . Never .

Thats what I wanted to hear!

Velvet Ill be rooting for you .

This will be so much more fun than that boss!

And so Sally accepted the challenge, and the two teleported away .
