Party leader Shadyna is leading an extra boss fight!

Like a pro-wrestler, the weird mask named [Tenri Yassel] body-slammed the earth. The shockwave from that is nigh impossible to escape unless you are already at maximum range.

Now, how do I deal with this…

Ah, its appearance changed too. As expected of a second-stage transformation.

To my left, the mask changed the expression to the D: which was on its back. [Vallen Eye] is unhappy huh. [Laetque Eye]'s half is still the :D though.

Honestly, no matter what expression it has, I still think it's creepy and weird as heck…

The face now has the purple "veins" running all over. Is it getting corrupted? Divine, pure and incorruptible beings more often than not have that problem. Weird, right~?

My racial title, [Halfblood], indicated that I was vulnerable to darkness. I wonder if that darkness was referring to this corruption?

If I can customize the corruption marks, it may actually look good as tattoos!

Okay, back to the fight at hand…

_ Tenri Yassel: [̸̛̙̹̈͛͐K̶̛̫̗̙͖̍͆̓à̸̢̞̹͚̹̘̿̚r̶̞̉̔̎͂͋͠m̸̜̦͂͌̍͒̈a̵̬̼̹̟͌̊̕̚͝ ̸̨̥̯̰̱̒̀̒̚ͅS̴̩̼͓̀̈̍͠h̸̜̫̓̀̂̕ỏ̸̬͚̝͉͇̖͗͗̍̃̕w̵̰̳̘̠̗̆ͅe̶̙̺̊͒̄͐͌͌r̵̜͔̉͆͝]̴̢̈́̈́͘.̶̨̡̡̬̘̦͋̑

Without teleporting like before, it starts throwing spells in all directions! Indiscriminate bombardment is a war crime!!!

At least it's not the unavoidable attack, for now.

_ Shadyna: Run to the boss!

_ Miel: Not away from it?!

_ Shadyna: Yes, get close to it! I have an idea!

Our previous strategy would not work because it just attacks everyone. Spreading out just increases our chance of getting hit.

On the upside, the projectile density somewhat decreases. It's easier for me to evade as I run around it.

We closed the distance in a few seconds, thanks to our SPD. Gelly can easily avoid the spear-shaped spells right now, so I switch [Shared Fate] to .

_ Shadyna: , do that [Fort] skill! We will take cover behind you!

_ Miel: Understood. [Fort]!

Ideally, I would like to be the shield myself. But… well, there's this thing called height difference…

Thanks to deflecting attacks, Gelly and I are completely safe from harm. Stabilizing the situation is the first step after a boss transformed!

_ Shadyna: Don't worry about HP. I have it covered.

There's a chance will get hit by 2 or more spells at the same time, so I cannot count on [Shared Fate] to keep her alive. Instead, I use my food potion hybrid items to keep our HP above 50% at all times. Thanks, food's percentage-based healing!

It also has no buffs, so use count is pretty high. Even if it outpaces [Absorbing Surface], I do have enough [Enchant] materials to recharge it for a while.

That leaves Gelly as our main offense.

_ Shadyna: Gelly, go~

It rolls menacingly towards the mask like a bowling ball. That's a massive upgrade from the menacing wriggling back then, un.

I'm not going to let it run around the boss. No [Shared Fate] and all that. Instead, it will roam directly below that mask.

Did not see that blind spot coming huh, you see-everything pervert!

*WHACK* *WHAM* *WHACK*

Not having to avoid explosions, Gelly goes ham on the mask-crushing hopping of doom. It seems our damage decreased after the transform, which is to be expected. Gelly having space to keep the top speed at close range is more than enough to make up for it though.

Death by thousand cuts, the ultimate fate for bonus bosses because you are not supposed to one-hit them.

_ Tenri Yassel: Ċ̵̡͙̔́̿̍͘ȓ̵̢̩̬͈̥̙͋̔̂͊͝u̴̫̻͇̘̅̋̊ë̸̱̩͓̹̬́̎̆̀͝͝ͅl̵̛̤̞̘̏̎̈́̌̆t̶̡̝̭̥̯̻̉̂͆̚y̸̻̆̔̀͐͘͠.̶̬͕̈́͜ͅ

It's floating up again!

_ Shadyna: Gelly, get back! , go full offense!

_ Miel: Got it.

_ Shadyna: [Creation]!

The menacing blob rolls back to behind me while shells the boss with rods of destruction. Gelly can hop high, but not THAT high.

_ Miel: Incoming!

_ Shadyna: On it!

As returns from the attack run, I place a crystalline door in front of her.

Yes, a door.

[Expendable Door]

It's not even a hybrid item. Just an extraordinarily ordinary door.

I managed to put five more doors in a straight line before having to retreat to behind .

Cease that confused look already, .

*BOOM*

Doors break down one by one as the shockwave sweeps through the area.

_ Miel: …No damage?

There was damage, just that the door took the hits instead. I wouldn't be surprised if Sateri patches this later.

_ Shadyna: Now! Before it barrages us again!

_ Miel: Will do!

As plays baseball, I grab Gelly and run forward.

I hate undodgeable attacks! That's bad design especially for speed-based builds like me!

Any objection to me being speed-based is overruled!

_ Shadyna: Gelly PUNCH!

It's been a while since I last threw Gelly at a living target huh.

*WHAM*

…1 million damage? Isn't that a little too low for [Accelerate Power]? I have almost 3k SPD with 17k PAT. Even with just raw stats I was expecting at least one more zero in that number.

I mean, sure, that is 5-10 times more damage than Gelly's attacks, but it's definitely off. Gelly has a x16 multiplier, and somehow my x3000 multiplier is dealing… that kind of damage?

…Sateri, did you nerf my [Accelerate Power] when I wasn't looking?

_ Tenri Yassel: M̵̯̟͚͔̣̑́̈́͠ų̶̫́̒͌͝͝r̷͙̀̃̀͒̈d̸̦̜̍̉͘͜͠e̷͉͔͕̱̿̔̔̄̚r̷̨̫̜̟̣͒̅̀̏͐͂.̶͍̬͑̚

It has more than 1 million HP huh. Its first form probably had roughly that amount too…

It's flying upwards again. Is it not using spells before body-slamming?

That makes things easier for me!

_ Shadyna: , after it lands we will charge it in melee range. [Creation]!

She won't miss when it occupies the whole view! Take that, big size! No offense to you, Hessy, Elri.

_ Miel: Understood.

I don't know if it still has any trump cards. Rather than waiting for its demonstration, I would rather finish it off as soon as possible so I can go back to exploring the world.

Door placement completed! 5 doors are enough to block all the multi-hit shockwave it seems. I added 3 more in case of power-ups!

*BOOM*

_ Shadyna: Gelly punch~

*WHAM*

Another 1 million.

_ Tenri Yassel: B̴̡̠̃́͆̂̅ẹ̷͍̄̌̋̒̚ṱ̷̢̈́̂̍͆̆̚r̵̡̳̐͌̓͋͑͠a̷̝͇͇͉̾̇̇̆̿͝ȳ̸̠̈a̴̪̟̠̩̭̓́͋̀̚͝l̵̮̇͆̌.̵̙̪̅̽̒͆́̄

Before could reach it, it floats up again. Is it me or the corruption surface on the mask seems to be spreading?

_ Shadyna: , come back for now. [Creation].

Gelly also comes back too, but I don't need to speak to order it.

We all retreat a bit because I need to run before throwing my cute blob.

_ Miel: I think it's using that attack after a certain amount of damage.

_ Shadyna: Un, we need another way to charge it before it can fly.

_ Miel: ???

_ Shadyna: Just leave it to me~

_ Miel: Should I prepare a cutesy scream for whatever you are preparing?

_ Shadyna: You can do that?!

Her voice is soft, and even when agitated she uses a barely louder voice. It's hard to imagine her going "Kya~" like Mera…

Actually, Mera doing that was surprising in a different way.

*BOOM*

Seeing the doors getting broken up seems like a waste… I wonder if I can figure something out later to change this.

But for now…

_ Shadyna: , run forward!

_ Miel: Right away.

I grab Gelly and run sideways. For [Accelerate Power], I don't have to run at the enemies. It's my current speed that matters.

_ Shadyna: Gelly mortar!

Instead of throwing like before, I lob Gelly upwards. It should land somewhere on top of the mask if I calculated correctly.

With that, I dash to intercept 's path.

_ Miel: Eh?

No time to explain, sorry~

I grab her arm and do a spinning, like what ballet dancer does with their partner. Spinny spinny go~

Except that I throw her at the boss after the spin instead of just letting go. Firing cannon~ Weeee~~

Blergh, spinning while running like that was nauseous even if this was just a game. Let's not do that again. Wobbly, wobbly…

_ Miel: Kya.

That monotone cry is out! In what standard is that considered cutesy?!

[Condition fulfilled. Unlocked Title: "Mancannon"]

…You are watching this aren't you, Sateri?

[Mancannon: The one who weaponizes mankind literally. Sentient beings used as ranged weapon create a physical area-of-effect impact. The effect does not harm the live projectile.]

…I don't know the rank of this title, but I can definitely feel the snark in it. Sateri, you bully~

*WHACK* *WHAM* *BOOM*

Gelly landed first, then also crashed into the mask and exploded. What the heck this is B-rate comedy action movie…

And that AoE is a separate attack, according to the damage number.

My pacifist status!

Quickly checking the records, it looks like there was no damage dealt by me. Whew, safe!

Right, the "bullet" is the one creating the impact. In other words, is responsible for that damage.

Good for you, ! You just dealt over 3 million damage in the span of a few seconds!

I'm surprised [Accelerate Power] still affected it. Let's not question it too much, un.

…Wait, 3 million? Why is there one more than expected? Where did that attack come from?

Various cracks appear on the mask. They run all across along with the corruption veins, resulting in a not-so-pleasant-to-look-at surface. And that's not mentioning the light shining out of those cracks.

Yeah, the mask is done for. The "transform by breaking out of egg shells" cliché only works if it happened before the battle. At this timing? It's going to be the "Breaking apart into pieces" cut-scene!

Once more, light engulfs us. This boss sure shines like an overcharged flood light!

____________

_ Fuelri: , ! I've come to he…

As the young cavalry girl arrives at the valley, she encounters a blinding light from her destination. It spreads throughout the whole valley in a flash, without warning.

Once it dies down, finds herself in a different place.

She did not move per se, it's just that the valley has transformed into a totally different area.

The red crystalline trees are gone. The semi-reflective ground is gone. Herbivore fauna with sharp edges made of crystals are also gone.

All that's left is a big lake filled with a glowing rainbow-colored liquid that runs as far as the eyes can see. There's barely any place to walk on except for occasional landmasses connected by extremely narrow sandy walkways.

_ Fuelri: What. The. Heck?!

If the new terrain below her had been the water surface instead of an island, she would have sunk by now. Her heavy armor and giant drake are probably not the best for staying afloat.

[An has been subdued. The world has been irreversibly changed.]

_ Fuelri: Say that before terraforming the whole place!!!

A verbal battle using [World Voice] has erupted.

____________

and I are surrounded by white light. Yeah, totally no déjà vu whatsoever. I totally have no similar memory of such environment during my character creation not that long ago.

_ Shadyna: …I demand a refund.

_ Miel: That would be fighting the boss again. Are you sure about that?

In front of us hover the [Vallen Eye] and [Laetque Eye], no longer corrupted, and without the whole mask thingy.

Should I throw Gelly at them? It's here with us too.

_ Vallen Eye: G̵̙̖̹̅͊̾̂ũ̷̢̯͓i̵̬͎̼̾̀̋ļ̵̥̯͠t̸̡̛̼͕̥͐̚y̴̜͍͋͜.̷̦̗͓͈͆̈͊

Could you two take turns to speak? Your voices are already hard to listen to. I have no idea what you are saying if you speak at the same time!

Sigh. Can I leave now?

_ Miel: This will be fun trying to understand what they say…

Please don't get enjoyment out of that. People will see you as a certain type of pervert.

_ Vallen Eye: F̸̧̳̲͇̈́̌̀u̴͓̲̍̆ͅt̶͕̑̂̌u̵̘͈̫̤̍͊͗̆r̶͔̝͐è̸͕̗͉͙,̸͙͕̓ ̸͖̝̙̿̒ḍ̴̹͛̿̚͠ą̴̛̩r̵̨̩͚͌̈̾͘k̵͎̙͑.̸̝̞̰͝

I wonder where we are. The map says it's somewhere near Tyrel. Using the command to get my current coordinates has the same result.

Spouting nonsense like what a non-human boss would do, the eyes fade away into nothingness, leaving behind two… spheres? One is pure white, the other is pitch black. Don't ask me how I can see the white one in this whiteness. I just "see" that, okay?

A big golden box appears between the stones. At last, the treasure chest!!!

_ Shadyna: Should we open it?

_ Miel: If we leave these items and someone finds out, the player base will never forgive us.

It's mandatory to pick up the loot?!

[Laetque Stone of Innocence: The last fragment of . It manifested as finally found the true innocence of the world. Contains within the hope and divine magic of the former god.]

[Vallen Stone of Guilt: The last fragment of . It manifested as witnessed the embodiment of sin dooming the world. Contains within the despair and divine might of the former god.]

Extremely rare materials, get!?

_ Shadyna: Let's see what's in the box, then we'll distribute the loots.

_ Miel: You can have all. I wasn't doing anything.

_ Shadyna: Don't say that~ Only you and Gelly dealt any damage~

_ Miel: …So you won't even take responsibility.

_ Shadyna: I have no idea what you are talking about~

[Received Summon Crystal (Symbiosis) x1]

Okay, what do "Unformed" and "Symbiosis" mean? This is my first time getting them.

_ Miel: [Symbiosis] indicates the creature being support. They do not have HP and cannot die, but cannot attack either. Tanks usually prefer them to actual summons because they usually come with healing and buffs. I have never seen "Unformed", unfortunately.

_ Shadyna: Is that so. I'm giving it to you.

_ Miel: After the one-night stand, I am now a single mother…

Is that what you should say in front of a young and innocent girl?!

_ Shadyna: I have [At-will Beast User] title, so I cannot use summons from defeating enemies.

…I also don't want a weird mask following me around, but that thought stays with me to the grave.

_ Miel: I don't mind raising it, but please provide child support.

_ Shadyna: Yes, yes, I'll craft good gear for it~

Talking with is really mentally damaging, but in a different way from Mera. A long conversation with both at the same time will most likely end with me going insane.

_ Miel: , your face is expressive, so be careful.

Welp. Okay, next item!

[Received Skill scroll: Teleport (Binding) x1]

[Received Skill scroll: Divine Impact (Binding) x1]

[Received Skill scroll: Divine Barrage (Binding) x1]

_ Shadyna: What's "Binding" skills?

_ Miel: They are skills you can use as normal, but others cannot get it using scrolls or equipment you create. Before SG rank was introduced, these are how Sateri-chan limited the users of rare skills.

_ Shadyna: Oh~

_ Miel: Usually S-rank skills can only be acquired by these scrolls. One of these can buy 's whole equipment set.

_ Shadyna: …In other words, about as expensive as my gear?

_ Miel: …I refuse to comment on that.

_ Shadyna: Aw~

Since I have no use for most offensive skills, I get the [Teleport] scroll. It is similar to [Recall], without the Tyrel or player building requirement. It still needs a coordinate I have visited though.

starts caressing her hammer as she learns [Divine Impact]. I sure hope it does not create a shockwave as big as the boss's. She might just become a weapon of mass destruction who cannot distinguish between friends or foes!

I also give the [Divine Barrage] to her. She can sell or give it to her friend as she sees fit.

[Received Celestial Divine Plate (Tenri Yassel Artifact) x9]

[Received Celestial Divine Edge (Tenri Yassel Artifact) x3]

_ Miel: You can craft or simply use them to get the boss's equipment series. The parties receiving the loots of the first border boss got a lot more of these I think. The big guilds' leaders are all using equipment crafted by similar items from that border boss.

_ Shadyna: Does Hessy have one of those?

I have a hard time imagining her defeating without having similar equipment.

_ Miel: Only one. It's her weapon.

No wonder why she didn't need new one when Elri offered her the salam… drake's loot~

_ Shadyna: Mind if I use them as crafting materials? I think my craft's status will be better than letting RNG decides.

After all, a random weapon probably will not have rune's attribute bonus.

_ Miel: It is fine. You can always get the piece back by dismantling the gear. It cannot be worn by someone else after equipping it once however.

_ Shadyna: Oh, so it's like binding skills, but for equipment.

_ Miel: True.

_ Shadyna: I think that's all of the loot.

_ Miel: Let's go forward. We will be teleported back after a while.

_ Shadyna: Okay~

Saying that, I kind of feel disoriented in this environment, since there's pretty much nothing in here. I don't even know if I'm actually moving forward!

_ Shadyna: By the way, what did you do during the last attack? I got a title giving an additional attack, but that would only add up to two hits.

_ Miel: …I will tell you once you pay this month's child support.

_ Shadyna: Eh~

_ Miel: I'm half joking. Just promise me you won't tell anyone else.

Only half?!

I'm just an unemployed little girl! How am I going to make money to support a weird mask?!

And, the true nature of the mysterious third attack is…!

[Warhead: The literal live ammunition. When used as a weapon, grants an additional attack ignoring all defenses. Nullifies all collision damage.]

…This and [Mancannon] will be our dark history for the rest of our virtual lives…

____________

On an island devoid of trees, or pretty much anything, a party of two emerges from a bright light.

_ Fuelri: What the hell were you doing?! Where's the boss?!

A certain drake rider was patiently waiting for them. Even if her way of talking might indicate otherwise, she did her best not to plow through the lake to find the little girl, who is still grinning like an idiot as usual.

_ Shadyna: Elri~ Do you want a probably S-rank spell?

_ Fuelri: …What.

_ Hessenria: After all we have seen, why are you still surprised by her antics? How was it, ? Getting dragged around by this unstoppable apocalypse, I mean.

_ Shadyna: I'm a pacifist, not the end of the world~!

_ Miel: She just used me as she wished until my body is all beaten up, then she threw me away like a ragdoll. Now I am raising a child by my lonesome self even…

_ Shadyna: Please get me a lawyer, I want to press charges for slander~!

She was saying the truth, albeit a literal one!

_ Nerin: Knowing , I trust her words as much as I would trust Mera's.

_ Shadyna: I know right~?

_ Fuelri: A child? Did you get a summon?

_ Hessenria: is getting used to it.

_ Nerin: One can only endure so much before becoming desensitized…

_ Miel: I need a second. It seems I have to pick an appearance for it…

… for some reason is having a complicated expression, as if not sure what to think of the whole appearance selection thing.

_ Shadyna: Where is this place, by the way? The ocean? And why am I not in the party anymore?

_ Fuelri: …You didn't know? The valley got changed into this just now.

_ Miel: The teleport kicked us out of the party, I assume.

_ Shadyna: …My base! Give me a second!

Without an explanation, the little girl runs off to somewhere like a rocket.

_ Mera: Oh my~ Too bad we don't get to face a fitting adversary…

_ Nerin: How strong was it, ? The raid monsters are pushovers at our current strength now by the by.

_ Miel: …We are still not strong enough for these bosses. I will send footage later.

_ Nerin: That's a surprise, considering you defeated it before we could get here…

_ Miel: happened.

_ Hessenria: *Sighs* She happened huh.

While everyone is regretting their life decisions, runs back with a beaming smile.

_ Shadyna: Somehow my base survived the terraform! But it's going to be a pain to enter the traditional way though…

_ Fuelri: You… built something outside of town?

_ Shadyna: Un! It's completely underwater, as before, but now there's a big eel roaming at the front door! I hope it won't turn into something scary and break the door during raids…

_ Fuelri: This damn idiot!!!

_ Miel: I have chosen the form for the summon. Everyone, please move aside. I don't know how big it's actually is.

_ Shadyna: Let's hope it's not as big as the island~

_ Miel: [Summon], Yassyl!

…

_ Hessenria: Small…

Contrary to all expectations, the summoned "creature" is only a little bit taller than the blob in 's arms.

And that's not even a creature to boot. It's a young girl with a weird black-and-white mask on the side of her head. She's way too small to be a human. "Fairy" is the most likely description one would use for her.

_ Shadyna: So cute~

_ Mera: Just like 's preferences~

_ Nerin: Wouldn't that be 's, based on the reaction?

_ Miel: Yassyl, [Form Switch]!

The summon spins around a full circle, and her mask flies to the other side of her head. Her hair changes color from pure glossy black to sparkling silver. Even her beginner-like clothing switches its color as well.

_ Shadyna: Cool~!

_ Hessenria: What is this summon… I have never seen one that allows appearance customization and multiple forms!

_ Miel: It's just choosing between some this girl, the boss's original appearance, and a boy. I picked her considering 's fondness of cute things.

_ Shadyna: She's the best! I love you, !

_ Miel: Child support is secured then.

_ Fuelri: Does anyone in this party actually have the slightest bit of common sense?!

It is all fun until Mera uses [Mass Recall] and everyone has to deal with the massive amount of corpses they got from the raid.

____________

The patrons shed tears of happiness when they see the waitresses returning to their usual posts.

Happiness turns into surprise, which then turns into panic as the waitresses pull corpse after corpse out of their wagon for processing. It's as if the whole horde was packed in that storage!

_ Tippe: Just how many are there in that wagon?!

_ Nerin: Illusive Sprout works in mysterious way. Don't question it.

_ Ignar: So, how was the big boss?

_ Nerin: We didn't get to fight it. It was dead by the time we came to the scene.

_ Maximus: What, so it's just trash boss? Why would Sateri-chan announce such weaklings' appearance out loud?

_ Nerin: Not weak. Illusive Sprout is just too strong.

_ Maximus: That damn game-breaking brat should have been nerfed ten times already!!!

--- Topic: Avitus Caelicola ---

## Fire mage of Justice

So, this thing appeared and died before I could even create the thread!

Anyone knows what's the deal with this one?

##

## Nearseeing Sage

I went on a wild goose chase but caught up to the players fighting it.

Currently negotiating with them. For now I can tell you some info for free:

- Name: Tenri Yassel

- Appearance: [Pic]

- Strength: Magnus Bestia level, most likely.

##

## Manly Warrior

Magnus Bestia-like boss killed in mere minutes?! Σ(ﾟДﾟ)

Whoever did that needs some extensive rebalancing.

##

## Bountiful Hunter

Ikr? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

That and the waitresses rampaging during the raid too. The balance's totally borked!

##

## CuteIsJustice

On the other hand, this proved that you don't need to have an army to fight special enemies in this game. Maybe one day I can defeat a boss of that level with my guildmates too!
