Chapter 129 Grydred The Ancient Behemoth
"We'll be diving down to fight a boss together this time." Aarim said serious as they looked at the sink hole leading back into the ocean.
Glancing at each other briefly, they nodded before putting on their helmets on once more and dived downwards.
*SPLASH!
Taking a moment to adjust her eyesight, Shiro looked around to see if there were any other paths.
'Seems like it's just a straight path to the boss.' Shiro thought.
Following behind Aarim, they swam for around 10 minutes through a series of twists and turns. Naturally, they would take the occasional break since their stamina wasn't unlimited.
Soon, they could see light peek out from the corner.
Gesturing at each other, they pulled out their weapons.
Shiro with her Ascendant Dream, Madison with her sword and shield, Lyrica with the dual ended blades and Aarim was weaponless since she only uses magic.
"The strategy for this boss is simple, just hit it till it dies and avoid any attacks if you can. Also, stay away from each other since his attacks chain up to other people close to you. The more it chains, the more damage it deals. If that's clear give me a nod and we'll enter the room."
/p>
Waiting for a moment for their responses, Aarim swam forward into the room.
*URAHHH!!!!!
As if waking up a century old monster, they could see the entire ruin rumble with random pieces of debris falling pass them.
Spreading out as Aarim had instructed, the party glanced at the monster.
Measuring at a minimum of 15 meters long, the monster was a hybrid of different parts from animals. Giant tusks from an elephant, a face of a shark, the elongated neck and body of a serpent, four wing like flaps that resembled the wings of a manta ray and a shark tail that was filled with spikes.
Its body was coloured with different shades of teal along with moss growing all over its body.

"Grydred The Ancient Behemoth has 3 forms of physical attacks and several magic attacks. Watch out for his head, wings and tail as well as the turbulence that is caused when he swims past you. If you can't dodge, don't worry, I'll keep you covered with an Earth Wall. But after that, it'll be down to you to get out of the way before it collapses." Aarim called out over the mic.
"Alright. So we just hit it as much as we can right?" Lyrica asked just in case she forgot any strategies needed for this boss."
"It's just a huge target that fights back a little. As long as you have sufficient distance from each other, it'll be fine." Aarim reassured.
Shiro, on the other hand, took the initiative to gain aggro since the others aren't able to swim as fast as her. Which meant that they couldn't take aggro as well as her.
Elemental Shift: Metal.
Flicking her wrist, she controlled the blades to slash towards the eyes of the behemoth. Since the behemoth only had two eyes, if she took care of one and not the other, she should be able to create some more blind spots for the party to exploit.
*BANG!
The sword slammed against the boss's eye but failed to penetrate.
'Huh?!' Shiro widened her eyes in surprise.
The defence of the boss was so outrageous that she didn't even deal four digit
