54 Chapter 2: Barlgura (2/2)
”I won't lose... He never stopped trying so i won't either.” She muttered
Despite saying that, she didn't know what to do. Weak level spells won't work on it and she probably wouldn't have enough time to cast a more powerful one...
The gorilla pounded it's chest again and charged at her once again full of frustration.
As ariel thought deeply about what to do a familiar voice called out to her
”Ariel!” Shouted Serena
”Serena!” Shouted Ariel with a joyful expression
Serena held back her tears of happiness and joy from meeting Ariel and decided to leave it for later once she saw her getting attacked
She cast 10 wind arrows and propelled them straight at the gorilla, once it hit it's skin there was no effect, but thanks to that it changed it's aggro from Ariel to Serena
It let out another roar as it charged straight at Serena
”Forest spirits... Lend me your support... Ariel! I'll hold him off, start charging up your spell!” Shouted Serena
”Yes!” Replied Ariel
The gorilla swung it's arms at the Serena and tried biting on to her, but she easily avoided them, even when she wasn't looking, as if there was something telling her what it's next move would be.
From Ariel's perspective, The way serena avoided it's attacks were amazing. Not only was she perfectly controlling her movements but she predicted it's attacks. It was something she hadn't seen from Serena in the dungeon
Ariel cast wind spear and propelled it straight at the gorilla while it was distracted by Serena. It was hit directly and let out a roar of pain. Serena took that chance and grouped up with Ariel
”Was that enough?” Ariel asked
”No... That's considered the king of the jungle... An A-Rank monster called the bargula, it's magic resistance is very high but it has low intelligence... More importantly, i'm glad you're safe!” Said Serena as she gave Ariel a tight hug
”Serena... Not now...” Muttered Ariel who hugged her back
”Alright, that attack should hold it back, let's-”
Serena was interrupted by Ariel who jumped with her to the sides. Thanks to Ariel's quick reaction, they both barely avoided getting hit head on by the gorilla
”It's still fighting? That should have given us enough time... W-Wait... It went berserk...” Said Serena
The gorillas eyes were bright red, it started rampaging around and swinging at everything being in sight. It consecutively swung it's arms at serena and Ariel, who were having difficulty dodge it.
Berserk, an ability some monsters have which temporarily increases their power and speed at the cost of the consciousness
Once again, Serena who wasn't used to fighting in the forest, got caught up by one of the vines on the ground when she jumped, and again, she was about to cast Scutum Ventus as the gorillas arms approached her, but only this time, it was much faster and she wouldn't be able to make it in time.
A loud thud resonated as there was impact. However, what was hit wasn't Ariel but a wall of Ice
”Murum Glacies,” I said Translation: Ice wall
Serena and Ariel both looked up to find the source of the voice and found me floating slightly above their heads.
”Looks like i made it, just in time.”
