Warlock of War: My Ares System

Chapter 56 Raid: Lightning Slime Dungeon (3)



The blast of wind had finally stopped, and everybody let out a sigh of relief as we all gathered together, creating our formation once again.

This time, I got a better look at the boss and fully absorbed every single detail and inch of its body into my mind.

A giant six-meter tall toad with stone-gray-colored skin that had the texture of rocks. And each rocky-like part of the monster had a small yellow gem at the very point of it, which released paralyzing fluids.

[Gigant Lightning Toad – Boss]

[Health Remaining: 6195/8000]

.

I also noticed that the orbs had worked as they removed about one-eighth of its health, surprising the leader who just noticed it.

The boss’s health bar, as always, appeared at the top of my vision, but I ignored it as I saw the toad slowly rise into a two-legged stance.

That’s right… of course, it’s a boss, so it wouldn’t be such a basic creature.

As the giant toad took a biped stance, it suddenly charged towards us, its eyes glowing a bright yellow that caused us to shiver from the nerves… well, except for me.

“HOLD! HOLD! HOLD!”

The leader continued to chant the basic move but when under such pressure, that basic move completely left the raid team’s mind, so chanting this was necessary.

With each step that the massive toad took, it crumbled the floor undeath its webbed feet, and I could see sparks of electricity rub against its skin.

BOOM BOOM BOOM

“HOLD! HOLD! AND… TANKS! NOW!” The leader shouted, and most of the tanks activated their signature skills.

Their shields were coated in a large red aura that quadrupled the size of them, and upon seeing that the toad was right in front of them, its hand already in a swiping position, they all used another signature skill… [Shield Bash].

BAM

Most of them collided with the boss’s legs, causing it to be sent flying back, but the ones who shield bashed its swiping hand were sent flying to the back row.

This guy… is kind of like the other boss.

The Giant Toxic Skeleton boss was an all-rounder who strangely skewed a bit in the direction of speed.

It also had the unusual variable of red slime that it could control at its will, though it didn’t use it to its full potential.

If that skeleton made blades out of those red slimes or increased the size of its fists, it definitely would’ve crushed us in that past battle… But I guess that’s why it’s labeled a D-rank dungeon.

Also… That also means this toad won’t take full advantage of its abilities… as it is also a D-rank dungeon.

“ARGHHHH! IT HURTS!” One of the tanks cried out as upon landing, he broke his shoulder blade and collar bone, but the other tanks beside him just ignored him.

He’s dead.

The leader made a great decision to leave him to die, which I was very impressed by as I thought he was more of a pushover than Dean towards the beginning of the raid.

“HELP ME! HEL-“

BOOM

His body exploded into pieces, leaving just his arm, which flew out of the impact zone and hit a nearby healer whose face paled in fear.

The massive toad had jumped over us and completely squashed the tank that was writhing on the ground in pain.

“TANKS! REPOSITION!” The leader shouted, and the tanks all regrouped in front of the healers, and we all either moved back or forward to reposition our formation.

As the toad finished devouring the pulpy corpse of a man, it snapped its head towards us and savagely ran more like a beast than a monster… well, not that there’s much of a difference.

“TANKS!” The leader shouted, but this time the archers were already in place and had lit the explosives attached to their arrows.

As the sound of the long wicks burning echoed through the air, the tanks shielded bashed the toad, sending it flying back.

“ARCHERS HOLD!”

The large shields managed to also block its savage attack, which was once again a swipe with one of its webbed hands.

“ARCHERS! RELEASE!”

Feeeewwwww

Arrows whistled through the air, and the scratchy sound of the wicks burning instantly stopped upon coming in contact with the toad’s skin.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

“ASSASSINS! NOW!”

Explosions bathed the toad in burns, and as it stumbled back, all the assassins crept out from the side of our formation and flanked the toad from all sides.

The toad, who was still dazed from the explosions, was immediately alarmed by the assassins who began to slice at the pimple-like rocks, which oozed yellow liquid.

Their dexterous and nimble bodies were able to avoid the liquid carefully, even as they sliced the rocks off the toad’s body.

EREEEEEGGGGGGGH

The toad let out a blood-curdling cry as it began to swipe its webbed hands at the assassins who buzzed around it like flies.

“EVERYONE! CHARGE!” The leader announced, so we all charged towards the toad, and just as we spearsmen got close enough, we stabbed through the openings in the shields and pierced the toad’s tough skin.

With [Tangible Bloodlust] and [Spear Coating], I was able to slash through its tough skin, but unsurprisingly, the adaptability of this toad let it adjust to the assassins… and completely wipe out half of them.

It extended its long tongue at one, and upon grazing him, he fell to the ground where the toad squashed him with its webbed hand.

He then spun around, spraying the area above him with the remaining, leaking yellow ooze, which paralyzed pretty much half of the assassins.

As the rest of us who were on the ground noticed this sprayed yellow ooze, we all backed up.

The remaining assassins also backed up with us, and just as the toad turned towards us, a few explosions collided with its face.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

.

[The Boss has entered its Second Stage]

[The Boss has activated its Unique Skill: Paralyzing External Veins]

.

[Gigant Lightning Toad – Boss]

[Health Remaining: 4000/8000]

.

The toad was hunched over as the yellow glow in its eyes suddenly expanded, and the slight indents across its entire body were filled with yellow slime that created small sparks.

“BACK UP!”
