In front of Domogon The Conquerer, a platoon of Shadow creatures were posted up, ready for combat.
"Should I get started, then?" I muttered, taking a good look at the foot shadow soldiers the boss monster lined up.
"Is it so fat and weak that it needs a literal army to protect it?" I stared at the elephant-looking Shadow creature boss monster as it sat on its ass, club in hand.
Even though I had the ability to take down this soldiers on my own, I couldn’t risk the thought of the fatso sneaking up behind me and smacking me from my feet with that massive club of it.
Therefore I would have to leave this bastards army to my trusty Arcane pets.
"Come forth..."
My companions stepped out from the Arcane portal, blazing and cracking with energy.
The fact that my comrades had my back helped greatly to calm my mind. However, I still think it’s a bit too much to go with a frontal assault, especially considering the weakness of Domogon’s army.
I guessed from the size of Domogon and that massive club that one swing from the bastard would be enough to wipe my pets away.
That would be a particularly precarious position for me because as far as I know, once an Arcane pet dies, it gone forever.
In that case, there was only one way to do this.
"I’ll have to take care of the boss... You guys take care of the rest, you have freedom to use as much skills as you please but we all have to hunt without getting hit..."
I gave my orders to my Arcane pets. "Understood..."
They all let out a screech, a growl and howls all in unison.
"Alright... Off you go..."
I ordered them to initiate the assault first.
Ding!
~Your Arcane pet>NagaEgarCryoPyroCryo< has activated its skill~
~Active Skill: Frozen Abyss~
The ground beneath Domogon’s feet turned to glacial shards, freezing upwards like jagged spears. The beast roared, swinging its club wildly and shattering the ice in burst of frost and black mist.
That was my opening.
I blinked forward, using Spatial manipulation to enter and exit from several space pockets, appearing finally right in front of its chest. My fist blazed with overlapping Arcane energy — flame, frost merging into a chaotic surge.
"Take this!"
I drove my punch into its abdomen. The explosion that followed ripped the air apart, a brutal, echoing thunder that sent chunks of stone flying everywhere.
But Domogon didn’t even flinch. Its massive trunk coiled around me mid-strike, crushing down with the strength of a mountain.
Bones cracked and the barrier of my Scale Guard skill shattered across my skin.
"Shit, too strong".
