Braag was caught up in his excitent as his flathrower destroyed the eggs before him. Suddenly though he shivered. He felt as if death was staring at him.
Not far away the queen’s eyes were transfixed on the dwarf, shimring with emotion. An enormous amount of mana was suddenly gathering on its body, causing the entire cave to shake.
Red lines appeared in the air. The party wasn’t given much ti. Suddenly a pillar of solid rock burst out of the floor. It shot into the air until forming a connection between floor and ceiling.
Braag was standing right in its trajectory. Caught up in his task of destroying eggs he canceled his skill too late.
“Ah!”
With a pained shout the dwarf was hit by the rock pillar, crashing into a nearby wall.
[-932!]
Close to half of Braag’s HP were gone in an instant.
The sudden change in the situation caught the party off-guard. Balm quickly twirled her wand. A comfortable magic fell on Braag as she used her regeneration.
But the next mont Final Fend cursed angrily. The young man had managed to dodge one attack, only to run headfirst into the next. At least he was less miserable than Braag, only getting pushed away by the rock pillar.
[-951!]
“No!”
A distressed shout echoed through the cave. It ca from Bloody Edge. He and Watchful Eye quickly noticed that more than one attack targeted them.
Without hesitation they directly jumped from the platform only to be greeted by even more rock pillars. Watchful Eye was still alright, managing to weave between them.
But Bloody Edge was hit heavily in the back, getting bounced away like a tennis ball.
[-1180!]
Silver Blade watched the chaotic scene with a heavy heart. She realized that the skill simply moved too fast, giving the players little ti to react.
The difficulty had obviously increased compared to previous fights. All she could do now was to use her skill [Aura of Ranged Protection], to try and mitigate so damage.
Balm was flustered as well, not knowing who to heal first. Usually she would always prefer tanks, but the ant queen was a strange boss.
Since the beginning it hadn’t moved from its platform, thus giving the tanks little to do. Eventually she decided to use her [Holy Strike].
A bright spear appeared above the Queen’s head, striking down fiercely. Imdiately a wave of holy magic spread, returning so HP to the allies.
[ 299!]x7
Multiple visions miraculously accompanied the skill. Montarily a gorgeous, white wing flashed behind Final Fend and Silver Blade as the effect of robe of the sacred wing triggered.
Final Fend was granted another 300HP while Silver Blade received a shield blocking 300 points of damage.
At the sa ti white spheres of mana descended into the bodies of Braag and Fortune granting them bonus STR, INT, and AGI.
This was the effect of Balm’s passive [Boon of Life] which triggered with every third heal.
Fortune’s eyes lit up brightly. She felt the renewed strength coursing through her body.
“Nice, perfect timing, Balm!”
The mage exclaid excitedly as mana concentrated at the tip of her staff. Instantly the first arcane bolt raced through the air, slamming fiercely into the queen.
At least it would if not for the shield appearing at the last second.
A heavy tremor ran through the solid rock. Cracks appeared on the shield’s surface.
“Nice! Keep going Fortune!”
“You don’t need to tell .”, answered the female mage, looking at the still appearing rock pillars with worry.
She didn’t dare to take her ti, quickly finishing her attack. However, the accuracy suffered under her hurry.
The second and third bolt missed directly. However, after the fifth bolt the party mbers watched in joy as the first shield finally broke.
In the anti, the party regained so stability. Focusing on the rock pillars and warning each other they managed to avoid further damage.
Until Fortune’s sixth arcane bolt landed on the second shield. This was the mont when a red line appeared, piercing right through the mage’s body.
Fortune shook. She gritted her teeth, quickly releasing another attack. However, with her mind disturbed it went wide, posing no threat to the ant queen.
“Ah!”
A startled scream could be heard. Fortune was catapulted by the erupting pillar. Silver Blade flinched as she watched the gorgeous woman flying helplessly through the air. Her flight was quickly stopped by the ceiling accompanied by a painful thud before she crashed into the floor.
[-1123!]
At the sa ti the buff brought by Balm’s passive receded as well. Fortune’s HP were back to normal. But with the single hit more than 50% were gone in an instant.
Balm contemplated for a mont whether to use her heal on Fortune. But at this mont the queen’s skill finally ended.
The rock pillars disappeared, and the queen laid down her body, looking exhausted.
“Dare to throw around? Taste this!”
Braag was embarrassed by his unsightly appearance earlier. But his emotions quickly turned into anger towards the queen, giving him an outlet to vent.
With a thought his ultimate skill [Blessing of Wealth] instantly activated. An illusory golden coin appeared behind his back, rotating slowly. It emitted a sacred aura as if it was the truth of the world.
A panel popped up before Braag’s eyes.
