A torrential storm violently raged on in the Boss Room of a 100-floored dungeon. The cause of the bad weather was not natural; rather, the calamity was created by a single monster that had authority over meteorological phenomena, the Dungeon Boss.
“Ack! The storm is getting worse!”
“Just bear it, Sis!”
Covered with purple lightning, Raphael and Louise ran around the Typhon in circles as they bore the high-speed winds of the storm. As they ran, both of them covered their eyes with their arms to protect them from debris.
The storm was so strong that it easily surpassed a category 5 hurricane and currently had sustained winds of over 300 kph. It was getting stronger and stronger and was about to reach 400 kph.
As per the Typhon’s will, lightning bolts persistently chased the siblings. However, each of the bolts failed to hit their targets since the two had cast foreseeing abilities upon themselves.
Raphael and Louise tried to get closer to the Typhon, but soul-damaging tornadoes powered by Wind Magic Level 10: Tempest Winds had been keeping them in check. Even the power of the Extra Skill: Cancel Magic could not stop those tornadoes since they were created by a unique skill.
The Typhon’s unique skill was Meteorokinesis. It was an ability that gave the user complete dominance over weather-related phenomena. Using the skill, the Typhon had the ability to freely manipulate the weather at will.
In addition, this skill gave the user instant full proficiency in Wind and Lightning Magic as well as some Water and Compound magic spells. And if the Meteorokinesis was mastered completely, not only the weather but the user could influence the climate and even the season on a continental scale.
Raphael was thinking of what he could do to damage the Boss without using his full capacity as part of his training. When an idea came up in his mind, he thrust his right hand and released an attack toward it.
“Holocaust.”
A basketball-size, deep purple sphere then manifested in front of his palm, and it swiftly flew to the Typhon. Fire Magic Level 9: Holocaust was a spell that did not stop until it hit its target, so it totally ignored the tornadoes and only focused on its goal.
In the end, the sphere successfully landed on one of the legs of the Typhon and its flames slowly spread throughout its body. The Holocaust was a spell that continuously burned its target, and its flames would die once the target lost its life.
The sixth sense of the Typhon perceived the threat of the flames infesting its body. Recognizing its potency, the monster then cast a magic spell to counter the attack.
In almost an instant, the deep purple fire solidified and turned into ice—all of it. Upon witnessing that, both Raphael and Louise widened their eyes as they recognized one of the terrifying spells that their Mom once cast.
“Tsk.” Raphael clicked his tongue. “It used Permafrost to freeze the Holocaust? You’ve got a good head for a monster.”
World Magic Level 4: Permafrost, was an ice enchantment spell that was applied to ice spells. Once a spell was endowed with Permafrost, its bone-chilling ice could freeze almost anything, even mana.
The duration of the freezing could last an eternity. Its temperature could drop until absolute zero, a temperature that was supposedly impossible to occur according to physics, and it could not be melted in almost every way.
After freezing the Holocaust, the Typhon was rendered immobile by the ice. It then opened its mouth and used a fire Breath Attack in an attempt to melt it. The only way to effectively melt the Permafrost was to cast it against its counterspells.
Sizz…
As soon as the fire breath met the solid ice, mist began to manifest around the frozen leg. The Permafrost was melting, and it happened because the Typhon empowered its breath with another World Magic spell, the Level 4: Divine Flames.
As the Typhon was busy melting the Permafrost, Raphael and Louise made their way toward the colossal monster. They managed to pass the deadly tornadoes and were successful in shrinking their gap.
Louise cast Instantaneous Movement and teleported herself midair behind the Typhon. She immediately burned a large amount of her energy to extend her blade up to a hundred meters long. She then swung her sword vertically as she executed a technique.
“Heavenly Strike!”
Her huge, shining sword of energy mightily swung down toward the back of the humanoid part of the monster. The Heavenly Strike landed on its back and tore its tough skin and scales. The sword went through its flesh, and a huge and deep wound was marked once Louise finished her technique.
The Typhon rotated its upper body and saw its attacker still in midair. It opened its mouth and fired a lightning breath, but Louise had foreseen its moves and managed to teleport before the lightning hit nothing but air.
Once Louise had relocated herself to a safe spot, Raphael began preparing for his move. Putting his right foot forward, Raphael thrust his sword forward and pointed it at the Typhon.
He began channeling his mana into the blade, and then purplish-black energy wrapped around it. Once the preparations were done, he activated a skill and unleashed his new technique on the raging titan.
“Nuclear Beam.”
Using the Dragon Blast extra skill as a medium, Raphael released the accumulated nuclear energy and aimed it all at the Typhon. Just as the monster turned its attention to the source of a threatening hostility, the Nuclear Dragon Blast came into its sight.
“Grrrraaaahhhhh!!!”
In spite of its cry of agony, the hundred thousand-degree beam continued to penetrate its chest without any resistance. The Nuclear Beam ignored the resistances and defenses the monster had, and everything that was on its way was completely atomized.
Without decreasing a bit of its speed, the beam passed through its flesh and organs before it went through its back. When Raphael deactivated the technique, a large hole was carved in its chest.
“Oh! What a terrible-looking donut we have here!” 𝗼𝐯𝗹．𝐞𝘁
“Grrrrahhh!!!”
The Typhon shrieked on top of its lungs as it felt extremely intense pain for the first time. Despite the pain and damage, it still had leeway to use Regeneration to heal itself.
As it was gradually restored, Raphael warped to his sister to discuss their next plans.
