70 Chapter 71 (1/2)
”Leona!”
I shouted again, but still to no avail so I decided to support her attacks by casting Rapid Regeneration to Leona before rushing to the struggling Lina that got struck to the rampage earlier. I held my hand and help Lina stand up as she struggled.
”Sorry for the trouble master,” Lina apologizes as she cast heal on herself.
”Nah, the boss just suddenly attacked. We can't blame anyone on it,” I said before I examine her armor. I was stunned to realize that her armor regenerates durability!
”Durability Regeneration?!” I was stunned as the Battle Maid Uniform of Lina slowly returned to its first form that was not damaged.
”Master Almira added it as a feature so that I won't be needing to frequently visit the blacksmith to repair my armor everytime, she said it was for insurance.
I don't know whether I will laugh or cry hearing that. Insurance? Is she afraid that I will lose Lina on one of my battles?
”Master, I am sorry but I need to let the armor regenerate first before I can return to the battle. Its too risky without a proper armor,” Lina frowned as she checked the destroyed parts that are slowly repairing itself.
”Sure, just heal yourself. Let the others do so too. They are not on the good shape to continue the battle,” I said to Leona.
”As you command,” Leona bowed down before rushing to Harmless Sparrow and the rest that are still struggling.
I picked up my sword again and rushed towards the boss. This time, the boss was desperately attacking the fast Leona. Some of Leona's wounds are healing thanks to the Rapid Regeneration I casted on her. Still, its not enough to fill her HP back to full. She continue her assault by rapidly releasing Tornado Blades accompanied by a severe slap from the Iron Wing.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
A bird will be advantageous against a lizard but this time, it was like a stalemate. You can't possibly know who will get slain and who will survive. Of course, I won't let Leona die. She is my pet and it would be bad if she died. Once a pet or mount dies, it won't be resurrected again. An absolute death.
”Heal!”
”Sanctuary of the Sick!”
I cast those skills again on Leona and her wounds starts fading. Still, she keeps on assaulting the boss without stopping. She pecks the boss and scratch its hard skin out using her sharp claws but all of those seems ineffective on dealing damage. It even looks like it was just like a small pebble was thrown into a big and sturdy boulder.
I strike my sword hard on the boss and the Blood Greed Bar once again raised back to 100%.
”Blood Drain!”
Just like the previous bosses, the Terraform Blade struck inside the flesh of the boss even though it was considered impossible to pierce since I tried piercing its hard skin only to be stopped by its hard skin again. Now, its flesh voluntarily destroys its flesh like fresh butter melting on a hot knife.
My sword once again envelops my arm on a shadow-like arm gripping my arm which is like infusing it to me. As the blade was fully inside its body, the gurgling sounds once again rumbled around and this time, the boss seems to notice my sword's attack that it wriggle hard to shake me off from its body. I did not let go on my grip on my sword even the shaky boss keeps on thrashing about
Leona seems to get a chance and unleashes flurry of strikes against the Blood Bath Komodo. It pecks its eyes repeatedly using her sharp beak as her own weapon. Since it was shaking, Leona was not able to damage the eyes of the boss.
My HP that was not fully healed earlier once again filled itself fast as the sword sucks the vitality of the boss before ejecting me away. When I ejected, I also kicked the boss on its body hard, causing it to feel the strong force I expended causing it to tumble away.
Leona's eyes glint a bit and swoop down in a fast motion repeatedly.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
The boss did not get to react fast enough, not even able to recover, Leona swoop down again to attack. Its HP slowly fell to critical levels.
