Conqueror - Chapter 142
I was confused. “Why is that here?”
Yefa too, “Was it hiding?”
“I don’t know… But we have to resolve this. Rize doesn’t have any mana left from using those skills. She made the dragon fight incredibly easy but I don’t know about this one. Anyway, let’s take cover!”
The sudden tsunami that the Umibozu brought took out the flames surrounding our area.
The tsunami didn’t do any damage to us but I’m worried about Rize. “Rize!” I called out. “Go retreat!”
“What!? No!” Rize declined.
“Regain your mana first then come back! It’ll be difficult to fight when you can’t use anything!”
“No I’ll stay back!”
“Just go! You’ll be a burden!”
“Precia!” Yefa pulled me by the shoulder.
I looked at Yefa, “It’s fine if she hates me. But this is for her own good.”
Rize clasped her hands and her bow. She stood up, “Understood.” And began to flee the scene.
“Now, let’s refocus on the task at hand.” I ordered Yefa.
“…Got it.” She replied.
I dispelled my gazer form and grabbed my sword hilt and transformed it to a flail again. I swung it around then threw it to the Umibozu’s neck and tried to drag it down to the ground by lowering its head and pulling extremely hard.
It was easy, but a single wave of its hand rocked the waves from the sea and sent us another crashes of waves.
I had to let go of my grasp on the Umibozu since I was about to drown. Yefa saved me by dragging me up to the surface.
The monster then clasped both of its hands and smashed the seas with its power. It sent incredibly power full tsunamis in every direction.
“Yefa, bring us somewhere high!” I asked of her. I can’t fly since I’m not in Gazer form.
She wrapped her one arm around me and jumped high in the air and tried to look for a high place where the water won’t reach. “There’s none!”
“Tsk. Let’s charge straight at the monster! It’s useless without the sea not touching us!”
“Brace for impact!” Yefa launched herself with me to the Umibozu straight at its head. She dropped me to the shoulder of the monster but she continued her pursuit at the monster’s head and punched it.
I knew it dealt some damage seeing how the monster’s face turned nearly a good full spin.
I made my move and tried to find the nape of this monster to kill it quickly.
“Changed into a sword!” And the flail that was once on my weapon retracted back to the hilt and the blade of the sword emerged. I moved around its shoulder and climbed on the body by striking the back with my sword and then jumping up. It seems that the monster doesn’t feel anything.
I climbed and climbed until I found the nape. I sliced it open with my sword but then, a tall shadow emerged and it terrified me. I looked back and it seemed to be a tall pillar of water. I’m guessing this monster noticed me. But I have to hold on. “Change into a flail!”
I then wrapped the flail around its neck to brace for the impact of the water pillar smashing onto me. “UGUAH!” I couldn’t breath for a long time. The water kept coming and coming.
A hand then reached out inside the water. I grabbed it and I was pulled out. It was none other than Yefa.
“You okay!?” She asked.
“Yeah I’m fine!”
“It’s surrounding its back with water. It knows that we can’t breath inside.”
“Let’s go find a ground first!”
“Got it!”
But the Umibozu suddenly raised its hand and it was an incredibly gigantic hand, it grabbed us mid air like a fly.
We were slowly being crushed by the pressure when this monster is tightening its fist.
But Yefa is holding on by prying the hand open with both of his hands and feet outstretched to keep it open.
I jumped to its hands and changed my weapon into a sword, I struck the hand and planted it deeper. I grabbed the hilt and began dragging the sword while it was planted.
It created a large wound going from its hand to its shoulder. It lost its power on the hand that was squeezing Yefa. She escaped easily.
We took this opportunity since its left hand is useless.
Yefa flew right to its face and punched it with all her might. But the damage was greatly reduced when the Umibozu put a barrier of water right in its face.
We can’t kill it in a few shots because of that water barrier.
Yefa tried again by punching but this time the monster blocked it with its hand. But it underestimated Yefa’s strength so her punched pushed the Umibozu’s hand to its face to deal some minimal damage.
But we too, were underestimating its strength. It recovered from the blow and grabbed Yefa mid air. It squeezed her tight and slammed her down to the water below.
“YEFA!” I was so shocked. She got overpowered by strength.
The Umibozu wouldn’t move its hand and is keeping Yefa drowning down there. I have to do something quick.
“Dispel!” I made my weapon disappear, “Gazer Form, come, Baneful Sword and Dominion!”
I flew to its other arm and tried to cut it but the water barrier appeared again.
I’m not a good fighter versus armored enemies or protective enemies…
I can’t pierce through it. The water absorbs almost all of the blow.
I could see the seawater below bubbling. “Damn it!” Yefa’s drowning down there.
What do I do? I don’t know anything and I’m not string enough to pierce through the Umibozu’s water. Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT!
Just as I was to lose hope, an arrow pierced through the Umibozu’s arm and suddenly exploded. Its power was strong enough to make a small hole and weaken the monsters arm.
I looked at the direction it was fired, “Rize!”
“I have enough mana for now! But I can cast Law Breaker only one time!”
“It’s enough!” Thank you Rize. If you didn’t come I would’ve given up. “Hold off the monster for me, Yefa’s down there!”
“Got it!”
I dived right in the water and saw Yefa at the very bottom. I reached out to her hand and grabbed it. I put my head to her chest. It seems that she still has a heartbeat.
I dragged her to up and threw her at the ground where the Umibozu’s water didn’t reach.
“Wake up!” I shook her body but to no avail. “Sorry!” I then slapped her face and it seems that she suddenly woke up and threw up some water.
“Urk…” Yefa seems to snap bacm to reality. “Where am I…?”
“Yefa!” I then hugged her. “I’m glad you’re okay.”
“Precia… Wait!” She pushed me away, “Where’s the monster! Is it still alive? We’re wasting time here!”
“Yeah it’s still alive. Rize is holding it back for us.”
“Let’s go!”
“Got it!”
It seems that I don’t need to worry. She seems to be fine.
“Rize, cast that spell you casted earlier! Try to hinder its movements or something. We just need to get a hit in. The body of the monster isn’t that tough, but the water barrier is making it difficult to inflict damage.”
“Got it!” She replied.
“Yefa, let’s go!” Yefa and I then flew to the sky and tried to lure the Umibozu from attacking so that we can inflict a counter hit.
A small cubed barrier was set up again all around us, “LAW BREAKER, NUMBER ONE!” It seems to be Rize’s doing. “WATER SPELLS ARE FORBIDDEN!”
The roaring waters below suddenly stopped and the water armor the Umibozu made dropped down. It seems that it worked.
The monster was confused on why it can’t control the water. It’s this small chance that we can inflict serious damage!
The Umibozu with its last strength, it tried to slapped us both but I blocked it with Dominion. “GO!”
“ARGHHHH!!!” Yefa charged to the monster’s face. “This is payback!” With all her strength, she punched the Umibozu’s face.
It sent shockwaves everywhere to the point that the water below formed large waves.
But the best thing is that the Umibozu’s face had a large hole in it now.
Before we could relax ourselves, we had to look at the monster for a few moments to see if it really is dead.
A glow of light appeared spiraling both the Umibozu and the elder dragon’s body and then, the bodies both disappeared.
I couldn’t help but be amazed. “Ha… Haha… We did it…” We were all incredibly relived. Almost all of our mana was exhausted in that fight. I looked at the both of them, “Thank you Rize and Yefa. For being here.”
“Heh. That’s what I should say.” Yefa replied.
Rize raised her hand, “Girl power! Hehe!”
We both joined in, “Girl power!”
