Majimonsters: Rosewood Journey - Chapter 155

[Nastier]?

Not even a second later, the cocooned Bultungin suddenly exploded with power as the aforementioned cocoon shattered into orange colored shards. From the cocoon emerged what appeared to be the same Bultungin, but more muscular and vicious. Everything from it’s mask to it’s claws looked sharper, bloodier and just straight up angrier. Even the aura it gave off seemed like…uh oh.

An unsettling feeling occured in my stomach as I activated my Dragon’s Eye to confirm whether or not the worst had happened.

[Of course it had a power spike…], I complained to Voxea as I stared at the suddenly Gold grade Bultungin. It was already kicking the butt of my friends and I, so I was not happy about it suddenly getting stronger.

[Why is it suddenly stronger]?

[If I had to guess? Pure rage and the fact that it had defeated seven other majimonsters beforehand], Voxea explained in a matter of fact manner.

[Are you serious?], I asked with an increulous look. I knew from my studies both in and out school that the quickest way to train a majimonster was to have them fight other majimonsters as much as possible, but I was also taught that they needed time to fully incorporate what they learned to grow stronger, not a little over a minute!

[Yup. Magic tends to act funny in do or die situations, especially Fury affinity magic], Voxea explained.

[That sounds like cheating…], I complained.

Immediately after I voiced my complaint to Voxea, the Bultungin had let out a booming, laughing howl that rocked my ears…and from what I felt, affected Voxea too. I could feel from my bond that she was feeling ill as Voxea’s form began to look fuzzy like an image in a ripple of water.

[Gyaaaa! It’s a lot weaker, but it’s like the Grim Shrieker all over again], Voxea complained in a groaning voice as her form flickered from the noise.

[Are you o-Voxea, look out]!

[This mutt]!

After rocking both my head and Voxea’s form, the Bultungin swung his claws in a powerful manner, launching a pair of orange crescent blades of aether flying straight towards Voxea in a cross shaped manner.

[No time to dodge. Eldritch Strike]!

Voxea had stopped flickering just as the cross blades were about to hit her. Instead of dodging, she lashed out with a Mystic aether infused fist and broke the incoming attack. However, neither of us expected the Bultungin to be immediately behind the now shattered blades.

Orange aether pauldrons rapidly formed around the Bultungin’s shoulder as he charged forward and shoulder tackled Voxea! I could feel from the dull pain in my arms that she had managed to somewhat block the attack, but it didn’t stop her from being sent flying into the air from the sudden impact.

It was unsettling seeing Voxea flying backwards so quickly…up until I heard her laughing in my head. After she flew back at least a dozen feet into the air, she suddenly stopped in a rather dramatic fashion, and immediately conjured a complex spell circle filled with Ice affinity runes in front of her.

“Thanks for giving me a better angle, pup. Now eat it”, Voxea said with a vicious smile on her face.

[Gatling Hailstorm]!

Uh oh.

The spell circle began to spin rapidly as it gathered and condensed the aether into fist sized chunks of ice. A second later, a barrage of ice was sent flying towards the Bultungin like a rain of arrows.

Not one to be a fish in a barrel, the Bultungin jumped backwards as the ice barrage was about to hit his previous position.

[Crap, he dodged it]!

[Not yet], Voxea said as she began to angle the spell circle.

Just as the Bultungin landed at his new spot, several chunks of ice began to pepper at him and landing several nasty blows. The Bultungin rolled off to the side after receiving a few hits, but the hail of ice did not let up as it began to follow him.

It was only matter of time before Voxea iced this guy.
