55 The Nereids Of Njord IV : Boss Ocean Wraith (1/2)

The wraiths released a synchronized roar that made me and everyone else feel week in the knees. Whatever the heck this bloody things were, they were far above our pay grade, but as powerful as they looked, I had already come up with a couple of different ways to beat them.

”Raven Song, I need them off this ship, can you do that?” I asked him as I unfurled my wings and took to the air.

”I can try!” He yelled at me.

”Don't try, do it! Qitar charge the pulse cannon and get ready to fire at my command! Darke as soon as Raven Song gets them off the ship, you need to make a U-turn, get enough distance so that the discharge from the cannon does not affect the ship. The rest of you hang on and avoid drawing their attention.”

As soon as I finished giving out my orders, Raven song ran forwards towards the seven ocean wraiths that had conveniently lined themselves up for him in one straight line. It was almost as if we were seeing the mirror image of one particular monster. Raven song slammed his massive shield on the deck again as he called out loud.

”Mountain Bastion: Earth Pulse!”

The golden silhouette of a mountain showed up above his head, large and imposing with a sense of reality that seemed to belong to the element of earth itself. This skill he used was similar to my [wind school: lightening coat] skill, it could be said to be a subskill of a particular school of magic, however in his case, it would be a school of defensive martial techniques.

The skill stopped the wraiths from advancing before it's secondary function was activated and the wraiths were pushed back five meters every three seconds by the pulse of energy that was being released from the magical projection of the mountain above Raven's head. Based on the surprise on his face, it seems the skill worked a whole lot better than we all imagined.

The ship began to move, turning sideways as Darke turned it around, taking every advantage of the ships engine to move so rapidly that our speed was not any different from that of a speed boat, even though we were more than ten times larger. Qitar's bionic arm began to glow at the joints as Jon pulse cannon stated charging, but it did not seem like we would make it in time as Raven Song's skill deactivated after thirty seconds.

The ocean wraiths were already a distance away from the ship, but based on their speed, they would already be on top of us before we have the chance to completely turn the ship around and face them. Raven song was catching his breath as it looked like the skill he used had taken a lot out of him, which means until he was back in peak shape and that skill was out of it's cool down, there was nothing he could do to help us, which means it was up to me, and I had just the thing.

I pulled back on Sky's strings, taking a deep breath as I felt her drain a colossal amount of management from me to power our next skill. Her form shook a bit as it seems this entire fight had had been excited her beyond normal, but her excitement was not the problem right now, it was the rapidly approaching team of boss monsters we had to beat the shit out of.

[Meteor Shower!]

The sky above the monsters seemed to light up as tiny pinpricks of light appeared hanging still in the air for only a second, and then they fell like falling stars from the sky. The meteor shower skill was a freaking cheat skill that could be used every three minutes for a low MP cost. Every arrow carried 200% of my total damage value, and even with this dungeon placing restrictions on us, that damage was still a lot.

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*

”Screeeeeeeecccccchhhhhh!”

*Splash! Splash! Splash!*

The wraiths were screaming in rage and anger as they took damage loosing almost thirty percent of their health.To be honest even I was surprised by the amount of damage I was dishing out, but I guess that's to be expected. I was decked head to toe in not just gear that improved my damage and defense, but also titles. As it stands my armor alone had a sure hit skill that could kill all of this wraiths in one hit, but as I've already used the trump card of the Sea sword, I rather keep the trump card of my dragon armor a secret.

The barrage from the [Meteor shower] skill had lasted for five seconds, and then it took the ocean wraiths another ten seconds to reorient themselves and press on with their attack. But at this point, that was enough time for Darke to have the ship make a complete 360 turn, with enough distance to spear for Qitar to fire the Iron pulse cannon. And she did not stand on ceremony, she just went ahead and fired.

*Voooop! BOOoooOoooM!”

The shot from the cannon was so intense most of the circular walls that made up this section of the labyrinth was blown to nothing, creating a straight path for us. The ocean wraiths were buried under the light of the intense beam from the pukes cannon for over 15 seconds, but even then I still didn't receive a system alert that the bosses has been slayed.

When the light finally faded, what was standing in front of us was a single ocean wraith, but this one had legs, and he was taller, like 60 feet tall and about 7 to 10 meters wide. He was covered head to toe in really bad injuries and he was pointing a trident at us. And that was when for the first a monster in the dungeon spoke.
