Time pa.s.sed slowly as s.h.i.+ro continued to draw the Harvester's aggro, allowing the guards and Kuromi to damage it as much as they could. However, despite all of their efforts and the amount of wounds the Harvester had sustained, it didn't seem to be feeling anything since it still attacked with the ferocity it had at the start.

At this point, s.h.i.+ro could feel that her energy was roughly around the 20% mark.

'd.a.m.n, this isn't too good. This f*cker's not dying despite his weakness to magic.' She mused to herself while furrowing her brows.

Quickly dodging another one of the Harvester's attacks, she glanced towards Kuromi.

"Big sis! You got an idea on how to kill this thing? We're not exactly making progress." s.h.i.+ro called out as Kuromi frowned.

Looking around them, she noticed that the Harvester was still connected to the nest and hadn't left during this entire fight. Not only that, it seemed to want them to fight it as far away as possible.

"s.h.i.+ro! The nest!" Kuromi shouted out as s.h.i.+ro immediately snapped her attention towards the nest.

Noticing the same thing that Kuromi did, she nodded her head and started to dash towards it.

Thankfully, the number of monsters in the city had thinned out a little during their fight since her spells would destroy them upon impact. However, despite this fact, she still had to be careful since she could be infected.

*URAHHH!!!!

Seeing that s.h.i.+ro was now charging towards the nest, the Harvester roared out in anger as every monster tried to stop her.

Ignoring the damage inflicted onto him by Kuromi and the guards, the Harvester attempted to attack s.h.i.+ro in hopes of getting her to stay away from the nest.

Unfortunately for him, s.h.i.+ro was prepared for an attack from the back.

Flicking her arm, a giant ice block dropped out from the portal as it slammed into the top of the Harvester's head, pus.h.i.+ng it against the ground.

This gave her enough time to reach the entrance of the nest as she quickly dodged the monster's attack.

Some of the black blood almost landed on her body as she quickly dodged to the side since it was risky for her to come into contact with the liquid.

Switching to her fire element, she burned the monsters to ash before looking back at Kuromi

Giving s.h.i.+ro a thumbs up, telling her to leave everything here to them, Kuromi grinned before attacking the Harvester with her ice.

Seeing this, s.h.i.+ro nodded her head and dived into the nest.

Upon entry, she immediately frowned in disgust as the atmosphere was damp, humid and stunk of rotting flesh.

Every time she stepped down with her foot, it would produce this wet, splurging sound as if she was wringing the water from a towel.

Pus.h.i.+ng down her feeling of disgust, she quickly made her way deeper into the nest using the Harvester's body as a guide.

There were moments where black tongues would suddenly appear from the body and try to attack her but she would parry them with her s.h.i.+eld before slas.h.i.+ng them apart.

As she ventured deeper, she could see a hint of light through the gaps.

[Hidden Boss Discovered: Parasitic Harvester's True Core.]

'True Core? Hidden Boss? Does that mean the harvester could be beat normally with a large army and this is just an additional stage?' s.h.i.+ro thought to herself before peering into the room.

Connected to the Harvester's external body was this fleshy egg sack that would pulse occasionally.

The surface of the egg was quite thin as she could see inside which revealed the silhouette of a long serpent like being that would swim around in the egg.

Not only that, but the walls of this chamber seemed to be made from flesh that had black blood oozing out onto the floor which formed a runic pattern that surrounded the egg. Corpses could be seen submerged into the wall with expressions of fear and disbelief.

"Charming. Anyways, no time to waste." s.h.i.+ro muttered as she readied her spear.

Flooding it with Celestial Energy, she was about to throw it towards the egg sac when it was ripped open from the inside, causing black mist to explode out of the egg and spread through the room.

Furrowing her brows, she immediately switched her element to wind and swept the mist aside.

After all, for all she knows, inhaling that mist once could mean death for her.

Glancing towards the now ripped open egg, she quickly dashed towards it in order to deal as much damage. After all, it was completely unguarded right now.

The egg had just opened, leaving the main body open for an attack.

She would be stupid not to attack it since it was akin to waiting for someone to finish transforming.

Twisting her body, she threw the spear towards the opening as flames erupted out from the spear tip.

*BOOM!!!!

Piercing the egg sack and sending parts of it scattering through the room, the spear then embedded itself deep into the walls.

Looking towards the broken egg, s.h.i.+ro could see a figure with a hole through its body.

Glaring at her with anger, armour started to form around it but blood continued to flow out of the hole that she had punctured.

'Seems like I've hit the jackpot.' She smiled to herself since this was a good sign. Even if its defences are ma.s.sively bolstered by their armour, as long as this hole remains, she'll have a target to attack.

Summoning the spear back to her side, s.h.i.+ro made sure that the blood was flicked off the spear before looking back at the enemy.

The main body was that of a muscular human with grey skin and neon blue tattoos filled with energy. Its right arm was in actuality, the head of a serpent/dragon that seemed to have a mind of its own.

Taking the initiative in the fight, she flickered in front of the beast as she stabbed her spear towards the hole that she had previously opened up.

Just before her spear landed the hit, the dragon arm appeared in her vision with its mouth wide open.

Breathing out a torrent of black mist, the head forced s.h.i.+ro to take a few steps back to to avoid this.

Not giving her a chance to reorientate herself, the True Harvester dashed towards her and slammed its arms down.

*BANG!

Cras.h.i.+ng against the fleshy floor of the room, rotting arms suddenly erupted out from the ground and tried to grab s.h.i.+ro by the legs.

Clicking her tongue, she quickly jumped up into the air and released a wave of cold mist to freeze everything that tried to grab her.

"Rather rude to grab a lady by the legs don't you think?" s.h.i.+ro frowned while flicking her fingers up.

In a similar fas.h.i.+on to the rotting arms, tree roots wrapped around the serpent arm.

Flickering just above the arm, she twisted her body and slammed the spear against the arm. Seeing that it only managed to sink in by a few centimetres, s.h.i.+ro frowned before slamming her heel down on the spear to drive it down with greater force.

Before the spear could completely separate the arm from the body, the muscles writhed and contracted around the spear tip, firmly lodging it into the flesh as s.h.i.+ro had no way of pulling it out despite her greatest efforts.

Furrowing her brows, she quickly cut her losses and jumped back while using the arm as a platform.

Seeing the blood ooze onto the spear tip and the Harvester grabbing the spear out before handling it as if it was its own weapon, s.h.i.+ro narrowed her eyes in seriousness.

Now that the Harvester had her spear, it had effectively cut off her main source of physical damage. While her gauntlet could break most defences, it was still lacking in attack power when compared to her spear.

The worst part was that she couldn't even teleport it back to her hands since the Harvester was keeping such a tight grip over the weapon. If she tried, she'd have to drag his body along or else it would not work.

Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down as she raised her s.h.i.+eld.

Since the Harvester had her weapon, she'd stick to short, burst type magic in order to force it to release her spear. With a prime target such as the hole that she had created in its guts, it shouldn't be too hard of a task to accomplish.
