A small elite team.
It's my second-favorite four-character idiom, right after "bank savings."
And so, the battle between our group, the Independent Alliance, and Gimora begins.
We lined up and charged into the boss area.
At the sa mont, , the dwarf warrior, dashed forward, holding up her giant steel shield. If I had to describe it, I'd say it looked like futuristic armor.
Before I could even react with wide eyes, realizing sothing was amiss:
"Welco! Die!"
Gimora, who had transford into a massive undead, swung a colossal sword several ters long. The impact was like an explosion, and we faced a crisis right from the start.
But moved to counter Gimora's attack.
"Deploy: [Patience of the World Goddess - The World of Patience]!"
This equipnt skill makes all party mbers invincible for three seconds. I had heard about it before, but I didn't realize it was a divine artifact.
This cheat-level equipnt is likely the reason and Zerotape ranked fourth in the individual event rankings.
Gimora's surprise attack was neutralized.
Jack Jack blocked the overwhelming attack with his raised rapier. Without the divine artifact's effect, he would've been killed.
Jack Jack grinned.
"Counterattack."
His rapier glead gold, and Gimora's massive sword shattered. It seems Jack Jack unleashed so kind of secret technique.
We had already used two trump cards right at the start of the battle.
Just as planned.
We launched an all-out assault.
"Liora, activate [Angels Wings]."
At the sa mont that Liora nodded, one of her two wings disappeared. In exchange for losing the buff, her eyes began to glow with rainbow colors.
The skill [Angel's Factor] has an art called [Angels Wing]. When 2 wings are combined, a special effect takes place.
When used only one wing it boosts HP, but when both wings are combined, it grants the ability to "see a few seconds into the future."
I don't understand the exact chanics, but maybe it's so kind of super-fast AI thinking?
Liora started to move.
Gimora launched a barrage of countless items using [Tempest Booster].
In response to the storm of death, Liora effortlessly dodged everything by shifting her body left and right. After all, if you can see the attacks seconds ahead, dodging them is a piece of cake.
"Open."
"[Shadows Full of Death.]"
"Praise the multitude of deaths."
The five-ter-tall Gimora, having grown into a giant, leapt backward as if in fear. But Liora, unfazed, swung her scythe in a wide arc.
"[Reaper's Gift]!"
With one swift motion, the enormous dark slash ignored the distance and sliced Gimora's body in half. A trendous spray of blood drenched Liora, but...
"Still alive. Let's continue."
"Of course."
Jack Jack was already charging forward, followed by Liora and .
anwhile, from her initial position, Hilda, having increased her firepower using [Extended Chanting], raised her staff with force.
"Here cos my unique skill. [Resonance Magic] — [Burst Ignis]!"
For a brief mont, Tanaka, who had manifested, and Hilda cast magic simultaneously. The combined force of a tornado and blazing flas, specialized for destruction, engulfed Gimora.
Gimora scread in agony.
Jack Jack pierced Gimora with his rusty rapier.
Liora struck with a blow infused with [Death Leading Blade], [Life-Draining Blade], and [Head Hunt].
threw her dagger at him.
Gimora's body was torn apart and blasted away, but there was no announcent yet. It seed we hadn't finished her off.
We had successfully defended against the initial deadly rush.
It wouldn't be fun otherwise…
"Well, this sucks. You've got divine artifact users, a berserker loli with deadly skills, an ex-colleague, and a pretty boy firing absurd magic… and I'm a solo player?"
Gimora hovered in the sky above us.
His wings were massive, decayed, and rotting.
"My race is [Undead Chira]. I've absorbed the genes of various monsters into my body and mimicked their abilities."
"Not like you to reveal your hand, Gimora."
"Haha! You don't know anything about on the battlefield, Johann!"
Gimora, floating above, pulled a massive statue from his item box and launched it at us.
"This is getting ridiculous..."
Liora spoke in exasperation, addressing Gimora.
Well, Gimora, despite being an NPC, is alive. She's desperately fighting back against a deadly threat (the reaper girl).
Though this is a boss specializing in escape, it feels like the roles are reversed here.
We dodged the incoming statue, sprinting away.
We weaved between the falling statues. Liora sliced so of them apart with her scythe.
"I'll bring him her," I said.
I cast [Enemy Resistance Reduction] and [Gift of Venom]to knock Gimora down. Right after the statue fell, Gimora's massive body crashed to the ground.
However, through the dust cloud, Gimora, now in knight form, rushed out.
"Can you keep up with my true swordsmanship!?"
Her massive sword swung at blinding speed.
It was overwhelmingly faster than before. Likely, Gimora was exploiting the glitch with [Escape Technique 100]. By incorporating "escape actions" into her attacks, she seed to have temporarily doubled or tripled her speed.
When pulling her arm back, she does it with escape movent.
When stepping forward, she uses escape motion.
This way, she applies [Escape Technique] to both her attack and defense moves.
As a result, a series of untelegraphed attacks were unleashed. , the tank, had her arm severed, and Jack Jack, deeply slashed across his abdon, was forced to retreat.
The difference in speed was overwhelming.
No longer able to hold back, Gimora had stopped hiding her cards.
"Understood."
I, the dark spirit, smiled broadly. Not that anyone could see.
Finally, I glimpsed Gimora's true potential.
As long as she concealed her cards, we couldn't go all out. If you have the ans to counter a trump card, the one who uses it is at a disadvantage.
However, Liora was finally freed from her restraints.
"Are you ready, Liora?"
"Yes… absolutely! My Lord!"
"Good."
After confirming that the front-line fighters had fallen, one of Liora's wings vanished. She used the [Angel's Factor] art, [Angels Wing II].
In place of the lost wing, a buff preventing critical attacks from becoming fatal was granted for five minutes.
Liora charged forward.
There was no trick to this reckless charge. However, the reaper girl's scythe was now cloaked in imnse darkness. This was [Reaper's Gift], powered by all of her remaining life energy.
Knowing the power of the attack, Gimora deliberately raised her sword to et it head-on.
"I'll kill you before it even lands!"
"Go ahead."
"Ha!"
An inhumanly fast slash was aid at Liora.
Even with my enhanced vision, I couldn't ti [Dark Legion] to intercept it. Before I could stop it, Gimora's massive sword drove into Liora's neck.
But [Fatal Avoidance] activated. After all we haven't used this overpowered skill for the day.
With one strike, the ultimate skill [Reaper's Gift] exploded against Gimora. It seed [Head Hunt] also activated since Liora strikes Gimora's nape.
"Gahhh! But it's not over yet!"
"Then die already!"
Gimora didn't stop.

With godlike speed, aided by [Escape Technique], she imdiately countered, crushing Liora's slender neck. Her head rolled to the ground with a soft thud.
The decapitated head whispered:
"Activating [Offering of the Fingers of Tete]. Praise the multitude of deaths… [Reaper's Gift]!"
The headless body of the little reaper girl, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, unleashed an enormous wave of darkness toward Gimora.
"…"
After regenerating her head with the [Regeneration] skill, Liora tilted her head from side to side, as if testing her neck. Gimora stared at the impossible sight in utter shock.
Hher knees buckled.
The mummy-faced Gimora looked up at Liora, trembling in fear.
"Are you… really human?"
"I am the Angel of Lord Zephyrs, the evil god."
"Evil god… huh. Sorry, Demon Lord. I succeeded in this mission, but I couldn't carry it out perfectly."
Gimora's body began to crumble.
Ass he disintegrated, Gimora turned her gaze toward Jack Jack and shouted.
"I'll be waiting in the last city—Johann! Bring the girl with you!"
Gimora's body shattered like polygons.
And just after that...
[World Announcent Begins]

The announcent echoed throughout.
'It seems our clan was revealed after all...'
The objective we had in jind when creating the clan was to disband it after defeating Gimora after all, we were solo players.
If the other users ca to know about "Independent Alliance" the applications to join will naturally pour in which is quite troubleso.
'But since we completed our objective...guess I should be satisfied with it.'
Since our objective was to defeat Gimora, we weren't particularly concerned... but the ssage boards might be in chaos right now
