Chapter 107 - Pyramid Exploration. Part 3. Being on the verge of death and the little girl’s talent. (1/2)

Hi there,

Nothing much to say this time, enjoy the chapter.

「-Mun!」(Albert)

The fire demon 『Vestiges of King Knurl』 howled as his HP was shaved off by Albert’s strong attack.

Seeing that made us think that this boss might be easier than we thought, but reality was different.

This monster always has a continuous slow HP regeneration, so if we leave it alone, it’ll slowly recover its HP but…

The problem wasn’t that, it was its high attack power.

「Guh!」(Albert)

「!」(Philia)

The fire demon released a heatwave without any preemptive movements and Albert took damage.

Avoiding it was hard, furthermore, it was an attack with both physical and magical properties so since our frontline was made of two heavy warriors, if they took a direct hit, they would be on the verge of dying.

Because of that, we were forced to attack carefully.

To my astonishment, Philia-chan showed beast-like movements and dodged them.

On top of that, it had a fixed probability to inflict the status ailment 「Burn」. It was really annoying.

「Riizu!」(Hind)

「Yes!」(Riizu)

I casted 『Healing Plus』 and in addition to that, Riizu used 『Darkness Ball』 to stop the monster in place.

While praying that a long range attack didn’t come, I took some distance along with Riizu, who had used the spell to cover me and released the 『Healing Plus』 on Albert.

Then, as soon as the fire demon turned towards us, Selene released her 『Blast Arrow』.

While blowing the fire away, the bolt released along with a gust of wind and penetrated the demon’s chest.

The displayed HP did decrease, however, it showed no reaction to it.

It also showed no signs that it wanted to go after Selene-san, who had released the bolt.

「…」(Philia)

Philia-chan glanced at me for a second and we exchanged looks, then she activated 『Heavy Stance』.

It should be a skill that increases her attack and physical defense, although it doesn’t increase magic resistance.

On top of that, if she went as far as too look at me….does that mean she plans to go in and deal as much damage as she can until she gets incapacitated?

In that case I supported the girl that took a stance as if she was going to release a strong skill with 『Attack up』.

Since I used a buff, the demon released fire at me, this is the only attack of his that’s easy to read.

I dodged it and started casting 『Revive』.

「Go, Philia! It’s time to show your power!」(Albert)

「Yes…!」(Philia)

Hearing those words from Albert, Philia-chan lowered the axe to the altitude of her hips and took a stance, then she took a big breath.

Next, she rushed at it, the little girl became a tornado once she was in front of the fire demon.

『Tornado Swing』…with her own body as the center, she violently spun around along with her axe. The mass of fire was being dispersed.

If it was a player with weak semicircular canals like Yumir, it would be a skill where you would self destruct instantly, but if you were able to use it properly, it had incredible power.

Pummeling the monster with the attack power of a Heavy Warrior but the speed of an average Light Warrior was the highlight of this skill.

In the end, after she dealt around thirty percent of the 『Vestiges of King Knurl’s』 HP in damage, she was enveloped in flames due to its counterattack and became incapacitated.

This was a display that showed that she was really her dad’s daughter, it was as if she was showing off to us.

「Incredible…」(Selene)

「There’s also the fact that she didn’t miss at all even though she was spinning around that much, but for her to go towards those flames without a hint of fear…」(Riizu)

Selene-san and Riizu leaked those thoughts.

Leaving aside their appearances, they were really father and daughter…even if she doesn’t talk much, an overflowing amount of fighting spirit was packed in that small body of hers.

「Alright, done! Albert-san!」(Hind)

「I know! Leave it to me!」(Albert)

A few seconds after Philia-chan became incapacitated, I released 『Revive』on her and she unsteadily stood up.

During that time, Albert acted as a wall and didn’t let a single attack go towards us. What was this sense of security?

The enemy had around thirty percent HP left, we just needed another push.

Just when everyone was thinking that, something unusual happened.

The moment Albert’s slash took down its HP to under twenty percent.

The fire demon’s body swelled up to many times its size and…exploded.

「-!?」(Albert)

「!!」(Hind)

Due to the explosion, all of us were sent flying towards the ceiling, walls, floor without being able to make a single sound.

「-Gahah! Hah, hah…」(Hind)

While trying to contain the feeling of heat coming through my throat, I looked in front of me and saw the other four members not moving at all while facing the ground.

This is bad, so so bad! If I had died, we would have wiped!

It seems like that explosion was a powerful skill that triggered once its HP reached a certain point.

While running away from the demon that was rampaging around because it had entered berserk mode, I was frantically thinking about who I should revive first.

A rearguard is no good, both of them don’t have the ability to distract the enemy while they dodge around!
