Chapter 339.1: Strongest Attack (Part 1)
339 Strongest Attack (Part 1)
The rumbling in the ground could be felt all over the dimension. All of those who had been hunting in the area could feel it.
It was a sign some of them had experienced before, for others it was the first time for them. What was common for those who knew what this was and those who didn't was confusion.
"This, it's the Dimension Boss," one of the warriors said.
"Dimension Boss, so early on, but we've only been here two hours tops. How could the dimension boss be summoned already? I thought they only came after so many beasts had been defeated."
The number of beasts that the other groups had come across weren't large at all. Most of the time, they would just come across one.
The most a group had encountered at once was three. Since the concrete areas were few and far between, the groups were also able to witness how many beasts had been taken out around them by the others.
"Either way, we should get out of here. If we take out the Dimension Boss, then the Behemoth Clan won't be happy."
This was the line of thought that most of those in the dimension were having. As they headed back, they could see a man wearing the same clothes as before, although looking slightly different.
They had just assumed someone from the Behemoth Clan must have changed shifts.
"Come on, everyone, get out of here!" Reno shouted. "The Dimension Boss is here, everyone get out of here!"
Reno was still playing the role of the Behemoth Clan member. As he stayed there and watched everyone leaving, he couldn't help but wonder, where were Alba and the others?
At the very mansion where Raze was at, the rumbling was at its strongest. Something had burst out from the mansion, breaking apart what was left of it.
Pieces of brick, wood, glass, and other materials were flung all over the place, and eventually, through the mansion itself, they could see something sprouting in the mansion's place.
It was a giant flower opening up from a bud. It looked similar to what the beasts they had been fighting so far had on their back, only giant in size.
At the same time, there were several giant green tentacles that were shaped like vines all over the place.
"It was either going to be a giant dog, or a giant plant. I, for one, am quite happy that it's a giant plant," Raze commented.
If Raze remembered correctly, the Dimension Bosses tended to be 1 or 2 levels higher than the beasts that they fought in the dimension itself.
So this beast, if one could even call it that, was either a level 4 or 5 monster.
Immediately, as soon as the Dimension Boss had sprouted, it flung its tentacles toward those on the ground.
Plon came charging with his shield, whacking the tentacle away. It was a strong hit that, for the first time, had tumbled him to the ground.
The girls quickly came to his aid and tried their best to use their skills to attack the remaining vines.
They had slashed at them, but not deep enough to cut the thick vines completely.
When one of them came toward him and Graft, Raze simply swung his sword down by his side, slicing right through it.
Part of the vine had fallen onto the ground and was wriggling about on the floor. As for the vine that was still attached to the main body, it was already growing back into the size it was before.
"It will keep healing; this type of beast is an annoying one," Graft commented. "You will either have to come up with a single blow that is strong enough to kill it in one strike, or you need to attack it at the same time with several members to kill it. The best bet for us is to get out of here."
"With a strong blow?" Raze thought about its size; he had one attack that would be able to slice it, but whether it would be strong enough or not was a different story.
'Maybe if I combined it with that, it should work,' Raze thought.
"Hey, Plon!" Raze shouted out. "Do your best to distract it as much as possible!"
Plon didn't know what the Iron-masked man had in mind, but so far, every time they listened to him, it felt like a miracle was occurring, so he would do the same now.
He swung his shield out, hitting the vine right when it attacked, and stood his ground firmer this time compared to before.
The women were stationed close to him, trying their best to use techniques that would at least keep the vines at bay.
The vine's strength was greater than their own, so if they tried to face it head-on, it wouldn't work out for them.
Raze then held the Ghost Sword in his hand, tightening his grip.
"All right, this distance should be enough!" Raze thought, taking two special blue Qi pills. The first had restored his Qi, as for the second, it had restored his mana.
He lifted his foot up off the ground and slammed it onto the floor. The first step of the Descending Steps had been used.
Right after, a kick off his back foot sent him forward. The Qi was building up off the last movement. The third step, a jump back, the fourth step, a kick off both feet.
Each time, a step was used, a different amount of Qi needed to be flowed in, and the Qi built up off each other.
Just after four steps alone, Graft, who was watching, could feel the immense pressure of the Qi that was building in Raze's body.
The fifth step jumped him from one side diagonally, the sixth step the same but off the other foot.
Now Raze had already gotten past Plon and the others and was quite close to the beast's body.
The Seventh Descending Step was produced as Raze leapt up in the air. The ground beneath him broke, creating a large crater.
He had jumped several meters in the air and now was practically above the beast. With the sword in his hand, the orange color started to be shrouded in black energy.
'The Eighth Descending Step, combined with my strongest sword skill, the Magic Eclipse Strike!'
