Chapter 949: The Boss' True Form
-----
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
The boss HP finally reached below 70%, which swiftly prompted a change. The heavy and bulky black armor it had shattered into pieces, falling down into piles of black metal. And while that happened, what was underneath was revealed. The man's real body was much deeper, I could feel it. However, his powers were completely encompassing him. Revealing the "true body" of the monster he had become.
Countless of monstrous, pulsating black and red tendrils could be seen, a body covered by such fleshy tendrils made of miasma and nether, while its purple and red colored eyes spread through the rest of its lanky humanoid body. Its scythe suddenly fell apart as well, but from within its fleshy interior, countless bony growths emerged.
Ding!
[The [Abyssal Dark Hell Knight: Lv300+] HP has reached below 70%, its hard armor has been broken!]
[The Boss has shown his true form: [Abyssal Dark Hell Demonic Beast Of A Hundred Eyes: Lv330+]!]
[All of the Boss Stats have increased due to the Level increase! All of the Boss Attack and Speed Power has increased by an additional +200%, while all of its Defenses have decreased by -90%!]
"W-What the hell is going on?!" Cecilia cried. "What is he becoming?!"
"Some sort of… Demon?!" Mercedes muttered.
"This is horrible!" Elbedo said.
"W-We have to quickly get rid of that before things get even worse!" Hermes added.
"Move!" I roared, a second before the giant monster were to suddenly unleash almost a hundred beams of red and blue light from all of the eyes spread across its body. I extended my body and fused it with my Domain, forming several walls of stone and wood.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Even with the pseudo invulnerability they gained thanks to being made out of the invulnerable domain, they still gained countless cracks, managing to barely hold on before they broke apart anyways. My Domain kept spreading though and I still had three minutes left of my transformation.
"Keep attacking it! Don't stop!" I roared, as my familiars and the divine dragon spirits attacked the demon. Magic projectiles and physical attacks bombarded its body, only for the monster to quickly evade almost all attacks, leaping into the skies and then rushing down towards me at lightning speed!
"Dammit!" I quickly greeted it with both of my weapons, unleashing several Heroic Swordsmanship Arts. Slashed and waves of pure holy light constantly attempted to slice through his soft-looking body, only for him to easily evade all attacks, moving around as if the monster was made of water.
"GROOHH!"
With a furious groan, the beast's arms grew large spurs of bones, resembling two enormous hammers, which quickly greeted me with a myriad of attacks, so fast I wasn't even able to react in time before half of my body was torn to pieces.
CLASH! CLASH! CRASH!
As I resisted the attacks and attempted to fight back by firing dozens of spells against it, the monster quickly evaded them by leaping away, firing its bone growths like spears, which pierced my scales and then exploded on contact.
"YOU!"
Mark, Rita, and Lily appeared behind the demon, attacking it from the left, right, and above. Mark's titanic sword barely missed it, only managing to cut one of its limbs, which it regrew instantly. Rita's beams of darkness couldn't connect, and her Dragon Claws made of Darkness and Void were also incapable of catching any of its limbs.
Lily was the slowest, but by fusing with the terrain, she attempted to catch it the moment it touched the floor. Sadly, that didn't work either, as it simply floated in midair by growing wings made of flesh and membrane out of its body.
"That damn thing's way too fast, oi!" Ambil groaned, as he was killing the smaller blazing undead to level up quicker with the help of a few other party members. "You need to get quick and small to catch it!"
"Let that job to me!" Angelina flew through the skies, increasing her speed with several buffs, as her Aura of Divinity and Holiness surged from her body. Her brilliant golden spear descended, impaling the demon's body and destroying several of its eyes!
As blood splattered over the floor, the monster screamed and quickly escaped Angelina, not without leaving a surprise for her, as all the blood it lost quickly transformed into a swarm of insect-like monsters, grabbing her limbs and wings and pushing her down.
"ARGH! What the…! BEGONE!"
A shockwave of light was released from her body, disintegrating the monsters, but they ended slowing her down enough for the boss to already escape her grasp. The boss quickly pointed its eyes towards us, firing countless beams as we chased it through the limited space of the divine ward's interior.
"There's not enough space for you to escape to!" Anna said.
"Just stay where you are, will you?!" Elisa roared.
Both girls unleashed a barrage of magic attacks. Anna summoned all of her familiars, who fired winds, fire, earth, and ice magic at the demon, in the form of giant projectiles. Meanwhile, Elisa channeled her dragon magic, materializing into several giant golden dragons that fired their blazing sunlight beams at the monster.
The demon swiftly evaded all attacks but was then caught by Elena from above. My daughter unleashed a barrage of slashing blows, followed by a wave of phantasmal and dark flames. The demon was barely able to evade her by a hair, only for several clones of herself to surround it!
"Heh, I gotcha!" She smiled almost like a true demon. "{Abyssal Void Blade Third Forn}: {Myriad Phantasmal Blades}!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
The monster was covered on cutting wounds, several of its fingers, bony armor, flesh, and limbs were cut through like a hot knife through butter. Its large HP pool was rapidly decreasing!
"GRUOOHHH!"
With a furious roar of frustration and agony, the monster's surviving eyes suddenly fused together into a gigantic once on its chest, unleashing a beam of pure demonic power, hitting Elena directly and blowing her away!
"UGH!"
I caught my daughter in time with a hand made of wood and healed her, as we all ganged on the monster, now with its HP below 50%!
"Now or never! Kill it!"
