Chapter 279 - Lady Zee Vs. Rock Goblin Lord
The terrorist was planning to use potion bombs again.
Ronny had prepared stalks of various items for this exploration. The batch of potion bombs was among them. Although he could only make the potion bombs in the F-Ranks, their sheer quantity was enough to make for the difference in ranks.
Ronny returned the monster's smug look with a smirk of his own before hurling the potion bombs in his direction. He retreated in the opposite direction as the bombs made their way forward.
The monster didn't recognize the danger level of the bunch of vials heading towards him at first. It's only when the potions inside the vials started releasing luminescence and unstable mana pulses did he realize that his wretched opponent had implemented the same strategy as him.
The wind-element hobgoblin tried to intercept the vials coming for him with air bombs of his own. But by then, the vials had covered a sufficient distance. They detonated as soon as the air bombs collided with them.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Several bombs detonated one after the other. The air bombs worked against the hobgoblin as they empowered the potion bombs' detonation powers even further. The monster tried to cast the defensive wind-element spell around him.
But the force generated by the continuous detonation plus the air bombs was so strong that it pushed the monster's body backwards at a rapid pace. It prevented him from successfully executing his defensive spell.
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaa."
The monster wailed in agony as he lost his left arm that he had used to defend against the detonation. His right leg was no more below his knee as well.
The monster tried casting his healing spell again. But he soon found out that Ronny had followed him to his current position.
'You luck ends here, bitch!'
Ronny didn't let the hobgoblin cast another healing spell. He used his daggers and targeted the monster's open wounds. He used various combo spells to further his advantage.
"Raaaaaaaaaah."
Another monster soon disintegrated into a bunch of light particles. Ronny let out a long gasp and sat on the stone floor once he confirmed that his second opponent was no more.
'I'm not doing shit anytime soon.'
Ronny saw that Renar, Viper, and Belar had only taken care of two out of three of their opponents during this time. But he didn't rush to their help. He just looked at Jules who understood his message and nodded at him before heading towards the trio.
With Julie's help, the trio soon triumphs over their three opponents. Julie led them towards where Ronny was sitting before running into a hug:
"You were awesome, Ronny. Are you alright? And where did you get those vile vials?"
Ronny patted Julie's back while maintaining his seated position awkwardly before responding:
"I'm alright, Jules. I'll tell you about the vials later. Let's focus on Lady Zee's battle first."
Ronny made Jules realize that there was still someone among them who was still fighting. She let go of Ronny, sat beside him, and focused her gaze in Lady Zee's direction.
A mini pond of black flames had been created around Lady Zee's battlefield. She didn't look exhausted but her face told the spectators that she wasn't completely at ease either.
Lady Zee's opponent was a Goblin Lord, a monster of the same rank as her. He was a rock element user. That's how he was able to defend himself against Lady Zee's persistent elemental attacks.
He would raise rock walls around himself whenever Lady Zee would try to enter close combat with him. In the dungeon, the monster adopted a dungeon-style battle style, trying to attack Lady Zee from the blindside.
Lady Zee's black flames were destructive in nature. Instead of burning, the black flames would make the things they incinerate implode from within. With her black flames, she had imploded many of the walls raised by the monster. The debris of those walls would again explode into a million pieces as Lady Zee continued to pour more black flames.
"Burn and blast off for me, you rock bastard!"
Lady Zee finally had it. She clapped her hand and cast her AoE. This created a parabolic domain of black flames around herself that expanded and covered the opponent she was battling with it as well.
When the black flames engulfed the monster, he could do nothing but hide behind his walls. He understood creating the walls around himself would be futile so he summoned the rocks around himself and created a dome-type shell around himself.
"Rararararaaaaaa"
The monster cried from within the shell. Although he had secured himself from falling into the sea of black flames with his defensive spell, some of the black flames had already landed on his body. They made the monster's limbs implode, rupturing the skin they were incinerating.
Just when he thought the nightmare was over, the monster sensed that someone was trying to break his defensive spell. Lady Zee had climbed over the 9 feet shell. She was using her ranked artefact in combination with her destructive black flames to create a hole inside the shell while her domain was active.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Lady Zee shouted as she plunged her spear coated in dense black flames over the shell. Over the shell, spiderweb-like cracks appeared. The black flames used the cracks to seep into them.
Boooooooom!
Just as Lady Zee jumped upwards, the black flames worked their magic. They made her cracked shell implode, creating a hole in it from which the monster's fear-stricken face could be seen looking in his opponent's direction.
"Oh, I love baking things. Hehe"
Lady Zee said out loud and raised her hand, directing the black flames created by her AoE to enter the hole she had just created over the shell. The black flames poured into the hole almost like they were in a liquid state.
Badoooooooooooooooom!
The shell was blasted into nothingness as it was engulfed by the black flames all around it. It seemed that the monster had created a burial place for itself with the shell acting as an oven.. Especially made for the baked goods that had goblin lord as the main ingredient.
