Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 154: Old island´s last boss and invincible battle

At 1:00 pm, the raid event finally begins.

A huge black magic circle appears in the sky and from it descends a female-shaped giant with a black body and purple angel wings. My identification skill catches her.

Astaroth?

? ? ?

Yeah. I knew the identity of the last boss from the moment I saw the mural. The only demon who can astride a dragon and spread poison is Astaroth.

One of Solomon's 72 pillars, she is the Grand Duke of Hell with 40 corps. It's obvious that she isn't the one to win. By the way, I believe she was also Nebiros' boss.

Now, I'll take a look at her first, but she's not moving at all. What is it?

"What does it mean?"

"It seems she won't move unless someone attacks her. That's a problem. If we attack the boss first, he'll be the first target, so no one wants to attack her

Of course. If you return to Death, you'll end up losing a lot of points. No one will want to attack her.

And there was no sign of movement as time passed. It shouldn't be the case, but it seems that the time will be up before the operation succeeds.

I guess I have no choice.

"Can I have the first attack?"

"Eh? Are you serious? Takuto-kun. If you return to Death, the whole operation will collapse, okay?"

"Don't worry. I have a secret plan"

I show the drink to Ruin-san.

"Poison isn't the only way to attack, you know"

"I'm fine with that, too. I have a promise I have to fulfill"

When I looked at Setia, she remembered my promise.

"Takuto-sama, you don't mean"

"Yes. She's a good enough enemy for a promise, don't you think? Setia"

"Huhu. Yes, I do. I don't think she'll complain"

It's settled.

"And I'm the guidance commander. Don't you think I should be the one to go?"

"Haa~. I understand. If you have to promise something, you have to promise me, too, that you won't return Death"

"Of course. Everyone! Let's go!"

Oo!

With everyone cheering me on, I got on Darley and rode out to the boss.

I Legion Summon just as the attack was about to reach the boss and explained the plan while everyone ate together.

Then I take out my hidden secret weapon.

Apple Yogurt: Rarity 5 Cooking Quality D+

Effect: 1 hour poison invalid, 1 hour magic power recovery (medium), 1 hour magic power up (large)

A yogurt filled with diced apples. The sweetness of the apples and the sourness of the yogurt go well together, making it very tasty.

Orange Yogurt: Rarity 5 Cooking Quality D+

Effect: 1 hour poison invalid, 1 hour magic power recovery (medium), 1 hour strength up (large)

A yogurt filled with orange pulp. The taste of the orange and the sourness of the yogurt are very well matched and delicious.

I was secretly producing yogurt. Loco Moco and Airy are my summoned beasts, so there shouldn't be a problem! In fact, the amount increased as my skills increased and I gave the same amount to Ruin-san and the others every day. They probably don't even know.

Everyone who ate the yogurt was very excited. I had some too and it was delicious.

After everyone was buffed, I sent a message to the Supreme Commander.

"Supreme Commander. We're launching the attack now"

You're very enthusiastic......Takuto-kun. Roger that

"Aren't you supposed to be authorizing the attack?"

I don't care! Start quickly!

"Yes, ma'am!"

In case it's a man, it's the famous yes sir. You never know what will happen if you say it wrong, so be careful.

"Setia! Spirit Summoning!"

"Yes!"

Setia starts chanting. Then Lily and the others come to ask for help.

"Takuto! Give us your name!"

"Eh? Do I have to say it?"

"I've been through so much embarrassment, you know? You should do the same, Takuto-san"

Ion, that would be a terrible thing to say.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone here and I want to hear Takuto-niichan say his name"

Gu...I can't help it. It's embarrassing, but if the girls ask me, I can't help it.

"I'm ready to chant the spirit summoning. Whenever you're ready?"

Yes, yes. I'll say it. Just say it, right?

"Good. Let's get started, Grand Duke of Hell! We Lieblingwill be your first opponents! Let's have the most fun battle ever!"

Me, Konoha, Hiyori, Gale, Himari and Luna are all ready to use magic. Here we go!

"This is our signal to start the war! Take it! Laser!"

The boss is hit by our attack. And this really signaled the start of the event.

As our attack hit, Astaroth made a move. A large number of magic circles appeared around her and us. If this is attack magic, then it's over, but if my readings are correct, then this magic is

Small devils with bat wings appear on a large number of black round balls from the magic circle. Identify.

Petit Devil Lv1

Event Monster Subjugation Target Active

After all, it's the summoning magic of lower-class devils...it's right on target.

"Setia!"

"Yes! Spirit Summoning!"

"Entrust!"

I will restore the magic power that Setia consumed. And drink an MP potion. ...Guee.

The one summoned by the spirit summoning is the fire spirit that I made the promise with.

"Is it okay to think of it as a promised summon?"

"Yes. I've prepared the perfect enemy for you"

"Hee~. That's quite bold. What kind of enemy"

It's the Grand Duke of Hell. The fire spirit looks at Astaroth and freezes. Well, that's what usually happens, right?

Setia says provocatively.

"Fire spirit. As promised, we have prepared the perfect battlefield for you"

"What?"

A large number of Petit Devils and Astaroth are around. As a fire spirit who loves to fight, this would be the perfect battlefield for you to give it your all.

"The enemy is the devil who poisoned this forest. If that's the case, then it must be an enemy of us elves and spirits. You will lend us your strength, won't you?"

"He~. It's probably the summoner's scenario, but unlike before, he seems to have a definite will to fight...or else. I am a spirit of fire! I am the one who controls the will to burn! I will answer your call and burn your enemies to the ground! Fire Dance!"

The fire spirit used the fire spreading technique it had used before. The petit devils burn up one after another, but theyre summoned one after another and enter a loop of being burned again.

We start fighting too. The Petit Devils fly poison at us. It seems to be the only way to attack. But the poison is nullified by the cooking buff. In other words, we were invincible for a short time against the Petit Devils.

There were many hints to this situation. First of all, this event had been prepared for both weak and strong enemies. If that was the case, there was a good chance that the first boss battle would be against a weak enemy.

Secondly, this event was unusually long. Four hours for a boss battle is too long. And that's even though I knew the strategy. Then why is it so long? There must be a reason.

The decisive one was the hint in the mural. Astaroth, who first appeared, was leading an army of devils. This, as mentioned earlier, matches reality. The game is a relative replica of the real-life setting. This was the case with Nebiros.

So, combined with the other clues, Astaroth was likely to summon small fish devils first and then gradually summon stronger devils.

Setia's fire spirit is the strongest annihilator among us. If we were to use it, it would be best to use it in this situation, where no one would interfere. One by one, we reduced the number of Petit Devils and finally annihilated them.

Finally, the type of monster changes. This is the devil that appears.

Lesser Devil Lv5

Event Monster Subjugation Target Active

Well, they're just small, ordinary devils. And like the Petit Devils, they only attack with poison. I guess I'm still a warrior. But now that they're stronger than ever, they're sticking to the fire spirits' attacks. Then let's raise the firepower.

"Torrid Hell!"

Koihi uses Torrid Hell and the fire spirit's firepower increases. The fire spirit destroys the Lesser Devils and the next monster appears.

Devil Lv8

Event Monster Subjugation Target Active

An ordinary devil. And from this guy, it started attacking normally besides the poison attack. While the fire spirit was working hard here, I reapplied the cooking buff. I managed to finish buffing it and the time for spirit summoning expired. The fire spirit was happy to have been able to fight to the fullest, but at the same time, she seemed to regret not being able to defeat the boss. I know the feeling.

Now that the fire spirit was gone, everyone was ready to join the battle in earnest. The evolved Ion is very active in this battle. The reason is the fragility of the opponent. Normally, Ion would slash them repeatedly, but it seems that she can defeat them with just one slash. She's killing enemies one after another.

In addition, she also demonstrated her throwing technique, which had been a mystery to me. Her two swords she threw followed her will and moved freely in the sky. It's quite a useful skill. I'd like to use it too.

But the fact that Ion is active means that Lily has no role to play. She's wielding a large sword with one hand, but no enemy who sees it will approach Lily.

"Mmm! Why are you running away!"

Because if they get hit, they die.

The difficult part of this battle is the timing of withdrawal. When deciding when to retreat, it's important to know how long your food buffs last and who your enemies are. You need to retreat before the buff from the food wears off. If we are in a position to take damage, we will be outnumbered and ruined.

Everyone is concentrating on the battle. That's why my responsibility is so important. The key is the next enemy to be summoned. We're about to be annihilated. Who's coming?

A magic circle will be drawn on the ground and a new demon will appear. I'll try to identify it.

Demon Lv12

Event Monster Subjugation Target Active

It's a goat demon...I have a feeling it's an evolved version of the scapegoat, but the problem is combat. How is it?

Ion attacks it, but it can't be defeated with a single blow.

"!! Ice Blade!"

Ion's twin swords turn into ice blades. Ion slices through the Demon and the Demon freezes.

"Heavy Slash! One more, Heavy Slash!"

"Flash!"

Everyone else can fight, too. But from this Demon, it was different. The guys behind deployed a magic circle.

"Attack magic! Konoha!"

"Hoo!"

Konoha couldn't defeat all the guys with its feather throwing.

Multiple fireballs were fired, but Konoha reduced the number, which was helpful. Everyone was able to avoid it safely.

The other side is a Devil without bat wings. But if you use magic, it's time for the tide.

"We're retreating!"

Yes!

I canceled the Legion Summon. The remaining members are Lily, Ion, Rex, Liqueur and Darley.

"Flash Bang!"

"Gaaaa!"

Rex's strong intimidation and powerful flashlight and explosions stalled the Demons.

"Lily! Ion! Blast them!"

"Yeah! Ion-chan!"

"Yes!"

They both hold their swords.

"Light Wave Motion!"

"Blue Wave Motion!"

A flash of white blue swallowed the group of Demons and hit Astaroth.

Lily and the others take Liqueur. I got on Darley and started to retreat.
