(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.
