Eisen watched as the sword was swung down toward a group of monsters while flinging around ma.s.ses of dirt, rock and gra.s.s. The blood and flesh of the monsters splattered around at the same time, so it was a rather gruesome fight, although Eisen wasn"t entirely sure why Askr was the one fighting them. They were rather small monsters after all, at least compared to Askr.
But after looking around for a while, Eisen could tell what the issue was. All the others were busy fighting other monsters. Because they were all surrounded by a real flood of monsters that was trying to rip them apart.
The old man activated his draconic demon transformation and jumped out of the gate, quickly flying over to the side to see what was going on. Eisen activated his truth-seeing eyes and his mana-sight, and soon spotted threads of mana connecting the ma.s.s amount of monsters here with a structure in the distance that Eisen figured to be the place the Town Core, and with that the Island Boss, currently was.
The old man flew over to the one closest to him, Brody, and quickly tried to ask him what was going on. The Demon-Orc groaned a bit as he cut through another wave of monsters with a single swing, "I don"t know what the f.u.c.k"s going on. At first we just had to deal with our movement being restricted "cause of charms and stuff, but now there"s this motherf.u.c.king ma.s.s of monsters here! It"s f.u.c.king insane!" Brody exclaimed annoyedly, and Eisen just started looking around as he took out his Demonic Blade and quickly grew in size to his maximum.
"I see. I"m pretty sure they"re all being controlled by something." Eisen muttered quietly, and then looked around the area to spot all the others before yelling, "Everyone, try to head for the building over there!" The old man exclaimed as he started to swing his black sword around, getting rid of waves of enemies nearly immediately, and not in the prettiest, most conserving way either.
But that didn"t really matter right now, Eisen just had to keep on heading for the building and tried to make a path to make it easier for the others to follow. Although, they didn"t seem to have that much trouble with that either.
All the others practically annihilated the monsters surrounding them within a few moments and quickly started to follow Eisen. Soon, they reached the structure that they had only been seeing from the distance until now. It was something like a colosseum, and by simply flying above it real quick, Eisen could confirm that the Island Boss was inside of there. The structure itself seemed to be heart-shaped when seen from above, and in the center of that heart sat a maybe five-meter tall, red-skinned man with horns at the top of his head.
He had pitch-black hair and his hands were covered in some kind of rock-like black growth. He just sat there as if it was bored, but with just a few movements of his hands, numerous of these small demonic monsters that everyone had been fighting until now appeared in front of him.
They rushed out through the gates of the colosseum, but were quickly taken down by Brody before they could go any further than that. With a quick use of his truth-seeing eyes" inspection ability, he was able to find out what exactly this monster was.
It was an Incubus, a charming demon known to especially go after women. But it was not a regular Incubus, but a "King Incubus". Eisen figured that it was similar to Melissa, where the Incubus gained the ability to simply create numerous minions.
While the four other originals stepped through the gates of the colosseum, Eisen dropped down from above into the area of the boss fight, and the Incubus slowly reacted and stood up.
"Hm? The intruders got here, huh..?" It asked with a yawn while stretching out its body, and then simply swung its hand around once. Some sort of gas or mist poured out of its hand that immediately spread around the inside of the colosseum.
Eisen swiftly inspected it.
[Charming Mist][When it is breathed in by someone, their body will be forced to follow the orders of the caster]
"Don"t breathe the mist in!" Eisen exclaimed, "That counts toward especially you, Brody!" The old man added. Especially Xenia and Evalia had rather high mental stats, so their resistance to these things would be rather high. Jyuuk and Eisen were both relatively well-rounded characters when it came to their stats. But both Jyuuk and Eisen had experience taking control of either many tamed beasts or golems, or both, so they still had more of a natural resistance.
But Brody"s mental stats were abysmally low, and he was the strongest in direct combat out of everyone here, so it would be a real bother to try and fight him while getting rid of the incubus.
"Hm, what did ya say?" Brody asked loudly, seemingly not having heard Eisen somehow, and the old man could immediately hear him take a deep breath afterward. He usually did that before trying to attack someone, after all.
Just in tune with Eisen"s expectations, Brody couldn"t attack right now, "Yo, what the f.u.c.k"s going on?" Brody asked, before all of the mist was simply blown away by a wind-spell cast by Xenia.
"You"re an idiot, that"s what." She sighed annoyedly, but before Brody could say anything else, the Incubus did so for him, "Attack that brat." It commanded as it sat down lazily. It seemed like it thought the fight was already decided through this. Brody, without being able to do anything about this, was forced to run toward Xenia.
"All five of you, paralyze him." Eisen said, and the five tiny mana-dragons hiding in his chest pocket flew out and rushed toward Brody while Eisen swung down his blade inbetween where Brody and Xenia currently stood to force Brody to slow down a bit.
And before they knew it, Brody was surrounded by poisonous green mist. Due to the Orc"s natural resistance against things like poison, he of course wasn"t just directly affected by it, but it still slowed his body down a bit and made him slip up. It wasn"t like Brody was actively supporting the movements his body was making, so his combat instincts didn"t work for this. It was basically as if Eisen sent in one of his golems into a fight without giving them any related knowledge.
"Eisen, smack me over there head already!" Brody exclaimed, and the old man didn"t hesitate for long. The blade sensed Eisen"s intent and helped him pull it back up and twist it to the side. While Eisen was doing that, Jyuuk restrained Brody with roots that were quickly changed into chains by Evalia"s paint to boost the restraining, and Xenia was drawing a high-tier healing magic circle into the air. That was because they were currently aiming for another of the Orcs" natural abilities.
"Rage of the Warrior". It was an ability that got rid of any status effects one was put under immediately once an Orc"s health dropped under 5%, while momentarily boosting one"s movement speed in return for getting rid of most of one"s defense.
The old man swung the giant black sword down at Brody using the flat edge of the sword, so that he wouldn"t actually cut right into the Demon-Orc, and a few moments later, Eisen"s blade was just stopped while Brody groaned out loudly in anger.
"Argh, you f.u.c.king piece of...!" He yelled out while grinding his teeth, and Eisen lightly grimaced, "Ah... proceeded that far, huh? You feel pain now?"
"Yes I f.u.c.king do, but don"t you dare f.u.c.king stop now, you brought me down to 15% with that!" Brody yelled out, and Eisen quickly nodded his head as he swung the giant blade in his hand to the side, and once more with the blunt edge of the blade swung it toward Brody, although this time not at his head, but at his body. And at the same time, Jyuuk got rid of the root-chains so that they wouldn"t obstruct the attack.
Eisen swung the blade at the side of Brody"s body and basically flung him toward the Incubus while bringing his health below the 5% they were aiming for. Like that, the charm-effect was removed and Brody could quickly just attack the Incubus like normal. He could through the Incubus" arm and immediately chopped it off just like that, before an arrow made of yellow light hit Brody"s back, returning part of his health while increasing his recovery-rate for a while.
"Thanks, Xenia!" Brody exclaimed as he immediately swung his sword at the Incubus one more time. It was rather weak compared to Brody, so it didn"t actually take too long to finish it off. The others didn"t even have to do anything. Brody managed to finish this fight basically alone, and the head of the Incubus soon rolled over the ground.
"Ooh, nice, level up." Brody smirked, and Eisen lightly sighed as he placed the black sword back into his soul storage before taking out his mult.i.tool and returning to regular size so that he could get started on taking the Incubus" body apart. Bree soon also ran into the colosseum, since it was now open to everyone, and helped Eisen remove the important materials. Like for example the horns, the hard black growth on the Incubus" hands, or the tail, the hair, the eyes, and of course its mana crystal.
"Yo, so who"s gonna be the Lord of this town?" Brody asked while removing some dust and rubble from the town core that was floating behind the throne the Incubus sat on before, and Eisen slowly looked at the Fey-Kin squatting down right next to him.
"Personally, I was thinking that this would be a good fit for Bree." Eisen pointed out, and she immedaitely looked up at Eisen in surprise, "Eh? Me? What?" She asked confusedly, and Eisen lightly smiled at her, "Well, you"re one of the most loving people I know. I just kind of think it fits. But don"t worry, this place will be practically self-sustaining with the Core Guardian, so you won"t need to be here all the time."
After a bit of thought, Bree just slowly nodded her head, agreeing to become the Lady of this town. She was still pretty nervous though, since that was simply her personality, but still pressed her palm onto the Town Core and activated it.
It took a few moments for Bree to come up with a good name for this place, but soon, a notification appeared in front of Eisen.
