Chapter 230 Fourth Boss

"The fourth boss is just a mix of the previous three bosses that you've encountered. Depending on the amount of damage you deal, there will be 3 wipe out phases where you need to damage his armour, minions and targets." Kamnar explained as he tried to adjust his posture. Having a spear up in one's ass, and spine, isn't exactly the most comfortable even if he got used to the sensation.

"Anything else I need to worry about? Berserk skills and such?" Shiro asked.

"Nope. The boss is rather simple if you consider the number of skills it has. An earthquake skill, an area of effect and a single target spell. Most of the time, it just relies on physical prowess." Kamnar shook his head.

"Ok then, what about the fifth boss, the hellhound."

"He's a bit of a pain in the ass. Defences are extraordinary and every move he makes will spark the explosive dust clouds that he produces. Rather than a skill, it's more of an active effect where explosive dust clouds are formed with every movement. As for skills, he has a root skill that takes a while to activate and a party wipe skill that floods the entire area in explosive clouds. Unless you can counter this, he will basically deal damage to you at every moment."

"Any berserk skills?"

"There is one. His berserk skill has all of his mechanical parts float around him as weapons connected to spiked chains while his main body shifts between levels of tangibility constantly. It's a pain to hit him while he can attack you rapidly. Not only that, he gains a boost in his speed and attack." Kamnar replied cooperatively.

"How long does it last for?"

"Around 4 to 5 minutes give or take." Kamnar shrugged his shoulders.

"Why are you not sure?" Shiro narrowed her eyes at his response.

"Because I can't control the fifth boss. I can control one through four, hence why the fourth boss appeared sooner than expected, but the fifth boss is completely out of my control so I can't see all of its skills in detail. Some of them are hidden." Kamnar explained.

"Hmm… troublesome. Oh well, I think I can deal with the last two bosses, what do you think girls?" Shiro asked as she turned to her daughters.

"I think we can do it. Just the fourth boss might be hard because of the party wipe skill." Lisandra smiled lightly.

"Let's do it. That way, we can get better loot." Yin nodded. However, inside, she was gambling on the fact that Shiro will treat them to a better meal if they succeed.

"In that case then let's go. Kamnar, you'll be staying alive until we've killed both bos- wait a minute. If you can control the fourth boss, can't you just have it stay still and let us kill him?" Shiro paused as she realised an easy opportunity.

"No I can't do that. The most I can do is choose where it goes. Combat wise, it's up to you." Kamnar shook his head.

"Tch. Fine, just have him move to an open area so that I can have an easier time killing him." Shiro said as she stood up.

"Alrig- wait why are you coming closer to me?" Kamnar smiled nervously as he saw Shiro circle around him.

"Well would you rather watch with the spear in your ass?" Shiro raised an eyebrow.

". . . Do you have any anaesthetic?" He asked as his face paled slightly.

"Nope."

". . . can you give me a moment to prepare myself then?"

"Sure. I'll do what doctors do and count down from 5 ok?" Shiro smiled.

Kamnar didn't know why but he became more nervous when he saw that smile.

*Gulp

"Ok, count down please." Kamnar said as he took a deep breath.

"5... 4... 1!"

*PUCHI!

"ARG!!!!!!! WHERE THE HELL WAS THREE AND TWO!?!?" Kamnar shouted out as Shiro pulled the spear out ruthlessly.

"You get more nervous and tense up once if I continued normally. If you're unprepared, you're more relaxed."

"If you're that worried about me you could have just thawed it inside me!" Kamnar retorted while a waterfall of blood was gushing out his ass. It made even the worst period look tame.

Healing him up with life fire, Shiro made sure to add some safety nets inside his body so that she could kill him at any moment.

"Bring the fourth boss to where we fought the massive f*ck off tree. You should know where that was since you've been watching us for quite a while." Shiro smiled lightly as she started to walk towards the aforementioned area.

Kamnar nodded obediently. He had no intention of running since he could clearly feel foreign objects moving around in his body. A clear sign that she didn't trust him but he didn't mind. As long as he wasn't subjected to more torture, he was fine with it.

"Yin, Lisandra, both of you can go full power now. If you want, you can remove that cloak so your wings have more room to move."

"Yes!" Yin agreed instantly as she threw her cloak away. If not for the fact that she needed to hide her identity, she wouldn't have worn something so annoying to begin with.

Spreading her wings, her speed instantly increased.

Lisandra did the same.

Arriving at the place, Shiro placed her palm onto the ground and focused her mind.

Nanobots started to spread out underground as she constructed a few traps to help her slay the fourth boss.

'I need constructs that restrain, pierce, stun and maybe even one to make the boss airborne.' Shiro thought to herself.

As she was making the traps, Kamnar was guiding the boss to their location.

"He's about to arrive!" He called out.

Nodding her head, Shiro stood up and activated her skills.

'For this boss, speed and firepower is a must. Celestial Lightning Armament should do the trick.' She thought as lightning crackled around her.

*URAH!

/p>

Just as she finished activating all of her skills, the boss had arrived.

"We're going to do this nice and systematically alright girls?" Shiro grinned as nanobots swarmed around her body.

Creating a set of armour over her Celestial armament, she combined both skills together as her stats were increased once more. Tapping the magnetic disks around her waist, she created several rail cannons while all 7 copies of Ataraxia floated around her.

"Hit it with everything you have!" She shouted out and fired all of the cannons.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

'That's not systematic!' Kamnar shouted out in his mind as this was just spamming all her skills. However, he could understand why the hero was scared of her. For her to be able to create this many life threatening weapons at once, she had power that could easily kill a level 60 despite only being level 52.

He could only lament at the fact that she didn't kill him with those weapons as this would have reduced the amount of suffering he had experienced.

*URAH!!!

Shouting out in rage, the boss tried to glare at Shiro but the only result was his eyes being stabbed by a sword.

"Who the hell gave you permission to glare at this queen." Shiro laughed. She was finally able to go full power in this raid after holding back for quite a while.

Growling angrily, the boss wrapped his body in armour. Tiny copies of himself spawned around him as he tried to activate the party wipe skill.

Since Yin and Lisandra were responsible for the armour, Shiro focused on the minions. A visor dropped down in front of her, marking all of the minions with a red glow. Her weapons hummed slightly as Shiro pulled the trigger.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

10 heavy duty bullets flew into the air and shattered apart into tiny pieces which tracked down all of the minions that she marked with the red glow.

*BANG!

Each fragment was able to tear a hole through the minion's body with ease as small craters were formed as collateral. Dotting the entire battlefield with tiny craters that emitted a small wisp of some due to the bullets, she had wiped out all of the minions within a few seconds.

If any of the party members stayed behind to see her fight, they would think that they're dreaming since this kind of power was inconceivable for any level 52 to wield.

"No wonder people worshipped her." Kamnar muttered in admiration. Despite having lost her former prowess, the Machine goddess was a figure that one shouldn't provoke regardless of the situation. One can only hope that she either lets you live or finish you off quickly.
