Chapter 168 - Passing Year Part 8

FIFTH BOSS DOWN Location the Oasis Dungeon Area 5, Boss Area: Barrelbottom Square

Kneesocks and the Boss, Jabberwock were still locked in battle. With all the group, cheering for the bishop. As she was dominating using her speed, and size to her full advantage. With the Boss, swipe his claw at Kneesocks. Who dodge with ease. Breaking the spot of the boardwalk, that Kneesocks once was. Kneesocks, she counter against the Boss. Slashing across the side of waist of the Jabberwock. Then not allowing her target, a chance to backtrack. Performing a forward wide-slash. Slightly, higher from the first slash. Making the Jabberwock, hiss out in pain. As Kneesocks, charge in again and press her advantage. She started forming a massive ball of demonic energy of magenta and gold, she was starting to form her Hellish Pit of Luxury, technique. Kneesocks, she turned her scythe in chain-sickle form. And then she'd hooked the massive energy ball, with a smirk in her face, she'd leap over to the Boss. Proceeding to smash her Hellish Pit of Luxury onto the Jabberwock, and causing a huge explosion of demonic energy. It was clear, that Kneesocks cause a insane amount of damage to her target. As sandcloud, from the seabed, underneath the boardwalk was steered up. The Jabberwock, went wild. Swipping his claw, through the sandcloud. Stomping out the obstruction.

Showing all the devils, watching the fight before them, all the damage from Kneesocks' last attack. Aside the badly damaged wings. Kneesocks, she blew off the right arm of the Jabberwock. Along with many scratches, burns, and much more signs of damages. Then Kneesocks soared out the sandcloud, her Golden Spandex increasing in size. Becoming twice the size of Kneesocks, herself. Lifting the giant scythe over her head, she was getting ready to end this fight. The Boss barely managed to turn its head. Catching the sight of Kneesocks, swinging down her scythe to him. The Jabberwock, tried to retaliate. Using his yellow eye-beam, to hit Kneesocks. But she was faster. She took aim, dealing a heavy slash onto the eye of the Boss. Just as the beam was about to erupt, from the Boss' eye. Kneesocks' Golden Spandex made contact. Causing a huge explosion, destroying that eye, and heavily damaging the head of the Jabberwock. Making the Lovecraftian dragon, shriek out in pure agony. Only one eyed, one armed, and wingless. The Boss was clearly on his last legs. Kneesocks, taking advantage of the newly acquired blindside of the Boss. Once again, she swung a her giant scythe at the Jabberwock. Again hitting the right side of the Boss' head. Exactly on the damaged eye. The Boss, once again shriek in pain. As Kneesocks, she'd believed that it, was time to end this fight. The Jabberwock, used his claw to try to ease the pain. Crotched down slightly, the Jabberwock, was a easy target. This allowed Kneesocks to throw, a final big attack. Tighting her grip on her Golden Spandex, as she was about to unleash her Luscious Grand Flash. Rising her massive scythe, wielding it over her right shoulder. She swings her scythe. Blasting a cresent pinkish-magenta wave at the Boss. Immediately the energy wave connects, causing a huge amount of damage. And she sent another wave in a vertical swing, causing a huge magical explosion between the collision of those two waves. Her Luscious Grand Flash, completely engulfed the Boss. The explosion, causing soo much damage to the Jabberwock. Laharl, and the rest the girls, cheered for Kneesocks.

Jabberwock, shriek and started wobbling all around the Barrelbottom boardwalk. Utterly covered in scratches. His only glowing eye, flicking of its light. Until it completely deemed, and the Boss fell on top of a shipwreck. Utter crushing it. Leaving ruin and rubble, all around of the fallen Boss. Kneesocks, smirks and rest her scythe over her beige-sleeved shoulders. As her Golden Spandex, shrunk down. Laharl, along with the rest of the girls. Albedo, Mizore, Setsuna, Ranko, Zombina, Daki, Raven, Morrigan, Kyoko, Nero, Vii, Mii, and Kii aka Cerberus, Caulifla, Rumi, and Ruby. Were all surrounding Kneesocks, the winner of this big Boss battle. All congratulating the red devil girl. Making Kneesocks a bit embarrassed, adjusting her glasses and looking away to hide her flustered face. But she'd liked the praise. The group of the devils, all then turned towards the dead Boss. As the Jabberwock, produce a huge amount of exp-drops. All around his massive, draconian body. From red, blue, yellow, and white. While not a abundant in type, it is a huge amount in total. The group, all went over to the Jabberwock's body, and they absorbed all the exp. Allowing many to level-up. The exp-drops from the Jabberwock, were soo powerful and greatly enhancing their stats. Especially Laharl that is one of few, that reached the blue colored level. Now he achieved, mid level of blue stat-crystal. Feeling, quite more stronger than before. But it was not only him, all the girls. Especially Zombina and Rumi, boost their strength, speed, magic, and vitality to a greater level. Laharl, saw that Caulifla, Rumi, and Kneesocks, quite pumped by the increased power. Laharl, he chuckled. This marked the fifth, Oasis Dungeon cleared. As a whitish-blue, floating ring, that is the waypoint. It was located, in the ruined steps of the Dreary Lane Theatre. Laharl, he stretched out his scarf, and enveloped the Jabberwock with it. Managing to store the Boss, finally after many other bosses, it was time that the yound Bael heir, secured another to sell. And as he turned to the girls again. Before Laharl could ask, the girls if they'd wanted to proceed one more level. Cerberus, she pulled him from his arms, and the third body pushed his back. As the girls, walked beside Laharl and Cerberus. Once they reached the waypoint, they immediately went to the next area of the Oasis Dungeon. Disappearing in a flash of white.

SIXTH LEVEL OF THE OASIS DUNGEON Location the Oasis Dungeon Area 6

They appeared in a new area. A dark, damp, stone and metal coated area. A hallway, leading to a squared open area, with four path. While dark, devils can still see clearly through the new area. With walls, and other part of surfaces of the area. Have some fantasy like, architecture adorning allover the place. Again Laharl, grateful that he was a huge Otaku, and Gamer in his passed life. He recognized the place. It is Via Purifico Bevelle, a dungeon from Final Fantasy X. This labyrinth of the Via Purifico, above the water-filled sewers. Which is mainly a water type dungeon, in everyway. And this is basically the semi-last level of the Oasis Dungeon. Raven, she'll dominate this area. As lightning magic, is the dominating power in this area. As the first monsters, came out one of the paths. It is some Sahuagins, which are fishlike monsters, with greenish-yellow main color, webbed fish claws and feet. Multiple large fins on their backs, and tailfin. As the fins colors, red, yellow, and orange. While slower on land, they're still a threat to anyone...that isn't a devil. Raven, she was about to zap these monsters dead. When Zombina, drawing her SMGs, started firing a barrage of bullets, at the fish monsters. Riddling them in holes. Taking out the sahuagins, in one spray of bullets. Letting one final shriek, all the fish monsters, fell onto the stone floor dead. Leaving behind yellowish-green, and blue exp-drops. Immediately after absorbing the exp-drops, Zombina and Rumi. Once again, they were the ones that most benefited, by the surge of stat enhancement.

Now with new creatures, stored by Laharl. He and the girls went further on the dungeon level. Eventually coming across another group of Sahuagins. With those said sahuagins, there are a new enemies. A couple of Cave Iguions, were hissing along with the fish monsters. The cave iguions, are huge purple lizards, with armored greenish scales in trials on their backs. A spike sail on their backs. Sharp claws, maws, and tail-tips. As their yellow eyes, were aimed at the Bael Peerage. As Zombina and Daki joined together. Shooting and slashing at the sahuagins, while Raven's eyes turned glowing gray. Exclaiming her spell, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos", she'd blasted a wide-spread lightning spell. Black colored lightning, smashed and electrocuted the lizards. Taking them out in one hit. Too bad, she'd chard them black. Kneesocks, she even voiced this complain, as the skin, scales, and possibly organs could have been sold, for a good price. Everyone, even Raven herself. They'd chuckled at Kneesocks' comments. As basically the third-in-command, and also the financial manager of the group. It was quite like her, to think of the profit that can benefit them. Regardless the Cave Iguions, left behind blue, and red exp-drops. Again they did as usual. Absorb the exp-drops, and kept on traversing the Via Purifico, dungeon level. Later after facing more sahuagins and cave iguions, as it seems this mini dungeon, has expanded from the original game. As they'd explored the dungeon level, for much longer than it should be. Especially comparing it to the game. More paths, and chambers were allover Via Purifico. They'd even got lost, as they'd entered another chamber with a single path in. As more sahuagins came to attack them, and a new enemy plopped onto the area. A blue, chunky slime. With monstrous face, with red eyes and red mass inside the blue slime. These are Aqua Flan, water magical using monsters. Resistant to physical attacks, and can only be taken out with magical attacks. While the fish monsters, skitter across the chamber to attack the devils.

As the Blue Flan, in the back. It started to gigling in place. With magical purple and blue particles, started to surge around the slime's form. Raven, Kneesocks, Daki, and Morrigan. The bishops of the peerage, having a attunement with magic. That is much more, sensitive than the others. They immediately could tell. That the slime monster, was using magic. As the blue flan, threw a watera spell. A big bubble of water magic, manifested in the middle of the devils. Before it exploded, in a strong burst of water. Laharl, spread and stretched out his scarf. Covering all his girls, and himself making a makeshift protective cover for them all. As the watera spell, burst in pressurized water blast. While the Sahuagins, were pushed back by the spell's blast radius. Only suffering slight damage. But were still pushed back, by the blue flan's spell. And have no affect on the devils. As Laharl's scarf, it serve as a perfect shield, and once it unwrapped itself from the girls. They'd struck. Caulifla, and Ranko fired ki-blast with Zombina, providing backup with her guns. Taking out, some of the sahuagins. As Nero, Setsuna, Kyoko, and Kneesocks rushed in to eliminate the remaining fish monsters. Letting Raven, sent out her Soul-self, the giant black raven construct. It soared fort, a smashed onto the sole and still Blue Flan. In the chamber.

The Soul-Self, acting both as a physical and magical attack. Causing pure damage to the slime monster. Killing it in one powerful blow. While Nero, Setsuna, Kyoko, and Kneesocks have finished, all the remaining sahuagins. As the Soul-self, it returned to Raven. Leaving only a mass of blue slime, on the ground. With yellow, orange, and surprisingly purple floating spheres of exp-drops. Appeared around the remains of the Blue Flan. Seems, even with the high-speed, smash of Raven's Soul-self it still left behind, some useful materials to sell later. Kneesocks, she asked her dear Laharl, to gather the remains. But Laharl, he was already in the middle of doing so. Once all the sahuagins and the blue flan, were safely stored away in Laharl's scarf storage. They'd absorbed all the exp-drops of blue, yellowish-green, yellow, orange, and purple. Another good boost. Laharl, walked over to Raven, and held her close with affectionately. Making the sorceress, a bit flustered and very happy. Laharl, he laid his head on top of Raven. Showing her more love, and care. Which made all her sister-lovers, smile and cheer for her. That only made Raven, more flustered. But she'd snuggle deeper into Laharl's hug. And enjoyed this moment, greatly. Every day, she was glad to have been summoned. And she has completed accepted Laharl's affection. He gave Raven a kiss, before letting her go. But then he'd kissed each of his girls, with Rumi, being her usual assertive self. She'd grabbed Laharl, and with a cocky wide smile, said, "You're not gonna forget about me? Right, baby?" And she gave, a deep and hot kiss to Laharl, making all the girls cheer. As this officially, marked the start of Rumi and Laharl's relationship. She'd joined their relationship, and things were about to get more fun. But that's for later, right now they have a level to conquer... Right, after Rumi stopped kissing their shared love.
