Chapter 906 Rematch Against The Fishman King
-----
The Fishman King we fought back then was parasitized by Sarach, so he ended being much harder to kill, and came with a second boss phase that we didn't expect. However, the normal Fishman King is a much more doable Boss monster. Yeah he's Tier 7 and boosted by his Dungeon Boss Status, but he's still not something too hard.
He usually respawns once every two or three days, we killed the last one two days ago, and luckily for us, he had already respawned much faster than we imagined, sometimes we have to go back empty-handed, but he was right there, lazily sitting on his room, with a clueless fish face.
"GUH?! GRUGAH!"
With a furious and barbaric roar, the Fishman King noticed us, quickly standing up from his throne and grabbing into his precious weapon, a mighty lightning-wielding trident.
"Here he comes!" I said.
"Looks like it's the trident wielding variant today!" Zack smiled.
"As long as it's not the annoying black sword variant..." Celeste sighed in relief.
"I wish it would had been the fire mace variant, it's so easy to hunt!" Mist seemed excited, readying her magic bow.
"Lara, stay behind me!" Luck said, his claws growing larger.
"Okay~" Lara giggled, holding her spirit staff as spirits started to slowly appear around her.
It usually changes between this trident, a huge red mace that unleashes flames when it hits the floor, or a black sword that releases shadows and darkness.
The black sword version is the most tricky, as it uses the shadows to teleport around and trap us with shadow tentacles, meanwhile, the fire mace version is the easiest, slow due to the heavy weight of his weapon, he gets easily hunted down.
The second strongest is the trident with lightning... but then again, at this point, we're here to just have some free time, we've grown so strong he's no problem.
"GRUUAAAH!"
The Fishman King roared, imbuing his entire body with mighty lightning as his movement speed was enchanted greatly, in a single second, the over twenty-meter-tall giant appeared in front of us, his huge trident unleashing powerful lightning attacks!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! ZAAP!
"Heh, that ain't going to work as you think!"
But well, we had Zack with us too.
FLAAASH!
Zack raised his axes into the skies and imbued them with his magical power and aura, gathering the lightning and absorbing it into his body.
"[Lightning Absorption]!"
TRUUUUMMM...!
"GRUH?!"
The Fishman King gasped in shock, stepping back to see an electrified Zack, zapping with golden lightning across his body.
"Oh yeah, now that hits the spot! Come here fish face!"
"EEK!"
The Fishman King seemed slightly afraid of whatever Zack was, it simply couldn't comprehend him anymore. Zack rushed forward, unleashing a barrage of attacks with his two axes, as my Jacks also leaped into battle, unleashing countless cutting blows with their scythes.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
The combination of Zack's axe strikes and the Jack's slashing attacks generated an endless rain of blows, slowly beginning to cut through the Fishman king's hard scale armor.
"GRUOGH!"
The Fishman King cried in anger and surprise, his trident unleashing dozens of powerful strikes, but I quickly retrieved my Jacks before they were to get demolished, Zack blocked his gigantic attacks, but was pushed back.
CRAAASH!
"Tch, still not enough to solo him?!" Zack wondered. "Thanks to the Boss Buff, he's more like a Tier 8 monster! It's not fair..."
"You literally just absorbed his strongest attack and you're saying it's not fair?" I laughed. "Come on, let us do some work too. Graces! Do your thing!"
"Fuuwaah~!"
Four cute dance-shaped dryad-like lettuce creatures danced, moving their lettuce pompon-like hands, and unleashing an aura of brightness and strength, increasing all our stats.
Ding!
[The Harvest Familiar [Grace] has activated their [Enchanting Dance+] and [Cheerful Freshness+] Skills!]
[Strength, Defense, Magic, Resistance, Agility, Luck, and Charm have increased by +50%!]
[This buff cannot stack between multiple dancers, but its duration has been increased!]
[Duration: 1 Hour.]
"Oooh, now this is a nice buff!" Roared Zack.
"You're dead, fish face!" Aquarina smiled, grasping her two daggers tightly. Her Ocean Serpent Dagger and her Shadow Dagger.
Zack and Aquarina were the first to rush into battle, accompanied by my Jacks and the Treants, which appeared around the Fishman King, distracting him.
"GRUOOHH!"
Ding!
[The Harvest Familiar [Treant] has activated the [Provoking Scream+] Skill!]
[The [Fishman King (Tier 7+)] has been provoked by the [Treants]!]n/)o.-v/.e--l.-b.-1()n
[While in this berserk-like state, he'll target them instead of you!]
"GRUAAAH!"
The Fishman King furiously roared, attacking the Treants instead. His mighty blows pierced through the huge walking trees, tearing them down to pieces, only for them to regenerate back again and again.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
At the same time as he was distracted, Aquarina, Zack, and a dozen Jacks showed up, attacking the Fishman King together as one.
Aquarina's mighty knife attacks were very strong, slashing and piercing through the Fishman king's defenses. Zack's lightning strikes weakened him and burned him, and the Jacks critical strikes left huge wounds across his gigantic body.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"GRYYAAAAH!"
And as he screamed, everyone else was also doing their own.
"Those dancers really help with their buffs! I never thought my stats could go this high!" Celeste was pumped up as well. "Let's see... How about some Curses for you?! [Abyssal Cursed Chains of Weakness]! [Demonic Spear Strike]!"
FLAAASH!
"GRUH?!"
The Fishman King was suddenly wrapped on black chains that materialized around him, quickly beginning to weaken his stats and trap him on place, at the same time as Celeste's floating cursed spear reached his head, unleashing a powerful, explosive strike that increased damage based on how many debuffs he had!
CRAAASH!!!
"GRYAAAAHH!"
With an agonizing and furious scream, the Fishman King's aura erupted, as he summoned an enormous tsunami, quickly attempting to take us away from him.
"Water? That's not going to work!"
Aquarina, however, leaped into the waters and absorbed them, generating a huge sphere of the oceanic currents and shaping it into a giant trident!
"[Poseidon's Trident]!"
She fired the trident directly into the Fishman King's chest, piercing it and throwing him away, generating a huge explosion!
BOOOOMMMM!!!
