Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting~-Chapter 725Vol. 12 - - Battle against Andrey (1)

Andrey, the soil's incarnation, recovered to his pin-point health, and all debuffs purified.

This had been one of the reasons, his endurance, that their team had ultimately turn to steal the key from him and escape from the floor in their last campaign.

(But he was quite in panic when he healed himself, huh. I take ot that attack after debuffs were super effective. ...Or maybe, he just tried to stay in top state due to vigilance? He probably was learning from the last battle.)

It had already been 15 minutes since the battle began.

«Phew, that was so close. It's really going to be a tough battle, huh. But there should be only around... hmm? oh, 1 hour and 45 minutes huh.

(Damn, what a clever persona he weaved. Still, to think he knows the time despite not looking at something like a mini-clay doll. Well, but he shouldn't realise we're actually here to subjugate him.)

Rising back on his back legs, Andrey stretched his massive 300-meter-long body, and fumbled around his body with his forelegs to affirm he was alright. The frantic expression on his Orichalcum face only served to make him more unsettling.

And just as Allen suspected, Andrey had yet to realise he was the real target.

«His attack range isn’t too wide, so we should be able to hold him off easily. Great Spirits, focus on offense. But make sure to keep a tab on the situation, and avoid it if you see signs of a breath attack. Merus, switch claymore and take the attacker role. Also, keep your defense enough that it doesn't hinder your agility.»

Allen transmitted their next plan to his teammates, who had been standing behind Andrey, using Bird F skill.

Andrey's giant height had completely hidden one party from another, so it was harder to take note of other members who were hidden in his shadow.

Allen judged that, given the current situation, a full-on assault could bring Andrey down.

Including the Water Great Spirit, Tonis, all the Great Spirits capable of attacking launched their offensive at once.

«Heh, so I can join the fray as well?»

(I didn't expect attributes would become the mainstay of this battle. Andrey... still seems to be holding on with his endurance and resistance huh. But I see, so this is why attacks weren't that effective against Immortal Attribute Nestirad, especially with that defense.)

The extent of damage was determined by factors such as each side's attack power, endurance, and resistances, but perhaps even more significant than these was the advantage or disadvantage of attributes.

According to Merus, the only attributes that could just about withstand the Immortal attribute were the Sacred and Abyssal Dark attributes.

For Andrey, with his Earth attribute, the increase in damage due to attribute differences seems to outweigh his durability and resistances.

Allen analyzed that the debuffs inflicted by Luck and the others were exacerbating the damage Andrey is taking.

"Alright, I am joining too! We might score this one!"

After taking in all possibility, Allen believed they're on the right track.

«Yeah. It should be easy with magic eater!»

Graham, linked with Allen in the merge state, assertively nodded.

The battle continued with Andrey healing his health, only to take more damage in return.

Allen also joined the fray as he used the «Magic Eater» with his sword, stealing away opponnet's mana, or spiritual power if there was it. He had noticed via Kuwataro's «Appraisal» that while Andrey would appear in his prime state, completely healed using earth's healing power, his spiritual power however remained unrecovered.

Since it appeared it was going to be a battle of attrition, then it would be best to steal away his spiritual power, leaving him with no fuel to use skill, making it easier to take him down.

.

.

.

The battle continued, and after half an hour, Andrey's spiritual power had plummeted to 30%.

Andrey had been spending most of his time healing his own health amid the relentless attacks from vanguard and rearguard. They still had about one hour to take Andrey down.

«Rrrgh... I can't let this continue. You—pray for your fortune, for I shall make you regret pushing me to come at you with my all!»

(Huh? Is he healing again... or another attack?)

Allen murmured as he noticed something lurking on Andrey's expression, a sign that was in contrast to when he healed himself. It could be that he was going to play out his trump card, Allen concluded.

«Divine Skill Mega Extreme Tackle!! Divine Skill Earth's Protection!!»

*Crackle-Crackle*

A surge of spiritual energy and mana poured out from Andre's body, crackling like flashes of light across his skin.

The orichalcum spines on his back grew even more ominous, transforming his entire body into a weapon of destruction.

"Wait, no way!? He's using a divine skill!!"

"Wow. All of his stats just went up by 100,000! Huh? He's pouring even more spiritual energy?! Everyone, fall back!!"

Cecile let out an astounded squeal. In fact, while Andrey had magic resistance, she was able to deal some damage.

Allen had immediately used appraisal at the first sight of change and his guess was right. Andrey's status had greatly increased.

«Wrath of the Earth!!»

Andrey raised his both legs, jumping up, and then fell own bell shell-first against the stone floor.

The floor stones were sent crashing toward Allen and the others like a tsunami.
