254 Chapter 250: Undeus (2)
"Ais!"
Seeing their comrade sent flying, Tiona and Tione didn't stand idly by. Instantly, they attacked with their weapons.
But like Bete, they couldn't leave a single scratch.
"Hell Finegas!"
Meanwhile, Finn activated his magic, turning his eyes red and drastically increasing his physical abilities.
He held nothing back, especially against this dreadful monster.
*CLANG
Attacking with his spear, Finn gritted his teeth. This time, unlike the others, he left a small crack, so tiny it couldn't be seen with the naked eye, between Undeus' bones.
*ROOOOOAAAAARRRR
Undeus, of course, felt it. Turning its head, it looked at its new target.
Swinging its second arm, Undeus struck, but Finn quickly jumped backward.
"Guh?!"
However, like Ais, Undeus's blows were too strong, and his small body couldn't withstand them.
"Captain!"
Seeing their leader injured, Tione shouted and also attacked Undeus with great force. However, Undeus didn't notice her. Instead, it swung its fourth arm, hitting the Amazon sisters.
"Tch... damn it."
Clicking his tongue, Bete continued attacking. No matter what, he had to buy time, and seeing four of his comrades hit, he did everything possible to grab Undeus's attention.
*Roar
And he succeeded because Undeus swung its third arm, opening its palm, intending to crush him like an insect.
"Don't forget about me!"
*Bommmm
"Old man!"
Jumping to the rescue, Gareth swung his large axe, grabbing Undeus's extended palm with great force. The ground beneath his feet cracked, and his arms trembled.
"Quick, Elf! I can't hold on much longer!"
Gritting his teeth, Gareth did his best to endure. After all, Riveria was still chanting her magic. However, Undeus didn't give him this time, as it swung its sword, striking towards the immobile Gareth.
"Old man!"

*Cough, cough...
Spitting out a bit of blood, Ais wiped the corner of her lips. The attack from that sword was very powerful; even after dodging it, its shockwave hit her hard.
Fortunately, she wasn't as fragile as glass that would shatter so easily...
But still, she couldn't help but bite her lips. This monster swatted them like flies; its enormous size and power were factors they had to take into account...
"I need more speed... More power."
Realizing her disadvantage, Ais looked down at her ankles; it was time to take them off.
Although Yuki had forbidden her, she knew it wasn't the time to hesitate. Moreover, she couldn't continue watching as her group was crushed by the monster.
"Yuki-sama... I'm sorry."
Taking a deep breath, Ais removed the weights and assumed her position.
"Ariel."
Lowering her body, Ais looked forward. The magic around her body increased, and she saw Gareth about to be struck by that enormous sword and Bete hitting the creature.
"Tempest."
Disappearing instantly, Ais became like a bullet, breaking through the wind as her sword gleamed.
*CLANG
Successfully striking Undeus's sword, Ais deflected a potentially fatal blow.
"Thanks..."
Assisting, Gareth put more force into his arm, hitting Undeus's extended palm with strength.
"Take its arms; don't let it get close."
Quickly recovering, Finn joined the fight, wielding two spears as he struck the third arm.
The Amazon sisters followed suit, taking care of the second arm.
"Tch... this bastard."
With no other option, Bete took the fourth arm, followed by Gareth, while Ais took the first arm holding the enormous sword.
*ROOOOOAAAAARRRR
Agitating its arms with fury, Undeus tried to crush the ants around it. However, these ants were very elusive, dodging each of its blows.
It might be a Level 8, but its attacks were sluggish, completely different from the swift Juggernaut, who would have already massacred everyone if summoned.
*CLANG, CLANG.
However, the same applied to the Loki Familia. No matter how much they struck, they couldn't leave fissures between its bones. The armor covering its body protected it, making it immune to their attacks.
From another perspective, they were merely mosquitoes trying to suck Undeus's blood.
But no matter how a mosquito tries to kill you, unless they're thousands, you won't die...
*ROOOOOAAAAARRRR
"My name is Alf!"
But they couldn't remain passive. After all, they had already bought enough time.
Riveria's magic circle had completed. It was the exact moment to attack.
"Everyone, get away!"
Seeing this, Finn acted quickly, being the first to move. No matter what, Riveria's magic was very powerful, and if accidentally hit, they would be in serious trouble.
"Wynn Fimbulvetr!"
Raising her staff, Riveria activated her magic, sending an extremely cold gust that covered Undeus's massive body. She made sure not to hit her comrades; this was a wide-margin magic, making it impossible for Undeus to dodge.
*Creak... Creak...
"Well done, Riveria."
Breathing heavily, Finn gave a thumbs up, wiping the cold sweat from his cheek.
Those blows from Undeus weren't for show; he now felt that two things had been broken by that strike.
And he wasn't the only one in that condition. Ais and the Amazon sisters were also clutching their stomachs with pale faces.
"This won't hold him for much longer."
Looking at his heavily injured group, Riveria shook her head. This was more than they could handle, so her magic hadn't focused on the attack but on blocking Undeus to gain the maximum time.
"I know... We have to break those bones. Tsubaki, any progress?"
Taking a potion, Finn glanced one last time at the frozen Undeus before turning to Tsubaki, who wielded a massive sword, desperately striking the bone stakes emerging from the ground.
After all, they knew they couldn't defeat Undeus, but at least they could escape, and for that, those bone stakes were in their way.
"It's too tough... I can't break them."
Shaking her head, Tsubaki continued hitting the bones, but her sword began showing cracks.
"Let me try."
*CLANG
Wielding his huge axe, Gareth struck with force. However, like with Undeus's armor, his axe barely made a scratch.
"This is bad."
Frowning deeply, this time the group couldn't stay calm. After all, Gareth had the highest resistance and brute strength among them, and if even he couldn't handle it, leaving a tiny crack between the stakes.
"We have to break them! It's our only way out."
"Yes!"
Having made the decision, the whole group grabbed their weapons and proceeded to break these stakes. However, it wasn't all easy.
*BROMMMM
After all, three enormous swords emerged from the ground, and at the same time, the ice covering the Monster Rex began to crack.
"Not good! It's breaking free."
"Everyone, get in position!"
With their bodies filled with anticipation, Finn no longer paid attention to the stakes. After all, Undeus was a threat that couldn't be taken lightly.
"Riveria, prepare your magic. This time, attack it with fire; it must have a weakness."
If ice didn't work, fire should be effective. No matter what, every monster had a weakness, and even though Undeus was large and super tough, it shouldn't be completely immune.
*ROOOOOAAAAARRRR
As if responding to his thoughts, Undeus freed itself, extending its four arms forcefully. This time, even the flames in its empty eye sockets blazed, showing how furious it was with these ants.
"Avoid its blows and get as close as you can; Undeus's strength lies in long-range attacks."
Having experienced many battles against Undeus, Finn became quite familiar with its fighting style.
And he wasn't wrong, as Undeus grabbed the four swords of bone, extended its arms, and ruthlessly brought down two of its swords.
"Prepare yourselves!"
*BROMMMM
The ground beneath their feet cracked, and not only that, but the shockwave was so vast that it covered the area around the group, lifting rocks and dust, trapping everyone in its shockwave.
"Damn it!"
Undeus might be slow, but in terms of area attacks, it was far superior to the rest of the Monster Rex. Its attack was similar to an intermediate spell of Riveria.
