Vol. 3 - Chapter 203 - Rare boss - Gatling cowboy fight!

"Are we going to challenge a rare boss? I'm itching to test my skills."

"Hnn, looking forward to it"

This was the reply I got when I informed Rika and Lana, after we eventually settled on using the flute to fight a rare boss.

Seeing both of them so thoroughly attached to the dungeon, I was so happy.

"So, what's the ’s rare boss version, Zephyr? Is it stronger than ?"

"Now that you say, both of you have experienced the battle with , right?"

At that time, it was Hannah in our party instead of Sierra. Hmm, it's just a few days ago, however it feels nostalgic remembering about it now.

Though, that means it's not their first time fighting a rare boss. Already experienced means they wouldn't be surprised at the power up condition.

Since, the recommended level for rare bosses and normal bosses changes by nearly 10.

"The rare boss of this dungeon is . In appearance, it's like an emerald-colored cowboy? Riding the emerald cactus horse, err, think of it as a which can move. It's also specialized in long-range attacks but that emerald cactus horse can do charge attack. And the most dangerous attack is rope throw."

Imagine a cowboy that appears in the western movies, but cactus edition this time. (What even is a cactus edition!?)

I can't put forth a better description but seeing no one has any question, I continued with my explanation.

"Not only will you be unable to escape if captured by its rope throw attack, you wouldn't even be able to guard yourself and will fall into predicament at once. Since it's also possible for a tank to fall, be sure to thwart the rope using guard skills and solely focus on avoiding. You absolutely can't let yourself be caught by it"

"How should I deal if captured?"

"If you are captured by chance, act as much violently as you can."

It's the so-called mechanism of smashing the D-pad blindly. Also known as lever gacha.

Anyway, you can break out by smashing the D-pad, so you will have to wait for the escape while following everyone is just like in down condition.

However Rika was making a strange face even after explaining how to deal with it. Not only her, Lana and Sierra have the same expression on their faces. I could vaguely read them. There's ‘no way ladies like them can act so disgracefully’ written on their face.

I tried to imagine the appearance of Lana going all wild when captured. But the resistance turns out to be futile, and she's slowly dragged under the cowboy. Though the opponent is a cactus.

Quite a problematic scene, it is. The targeted age range of the will have to be increased then!

※The targeted audience of game is B (Suitable for only or above age 12).

"W-Well, that's right. I recall a certain celebrity once said, . That's why, just avoid it with all your might if it throws the rope."

"I will!"

"I will absolutely not let myself pull!"

"With all my due respect, I reject!"

I received intense replies when I tried to console them.

I feel like I have aroused their bloodlust more than the motivation. Might just be my imagination......

Incidentally, only Karua was looking puzzled as if she didn't get the meaning.

Our start looked pretty good when we entered the boss room after blowing the flute and saw the rare boss appear.

The deepest part of the desolate boss room was shining. It was the effect of the rare boss pop-up!

What appeared from the effect was a horse-shaped cactus, which is about the same size as a normal horse, and riding it was a human-shaped cactus dressed in cowboy style, like one you might see in western movies. It properly comes with two hollow eyes and a mouth. However, the horse cactus face looks awfully surreal.

This is the rare boss of , . Quite hard-working it looks.

"I am going to pull the aggro. !"

"Leave the buff to me. ! !" (T/N : Last time, I named the blessing as a lion instead of a guardian dog. The Word "lion" in Japanese basically means both as a lion literally and also as a guardian dog. So I'm going with it, which gives it more essence than literally naming it as a lion. You can google koimanu for reference and images)

Sierra attacked first to pull the boss’ whole aggro towards herself. Lana followed after her and applied buffs to raise everyone's attack and defensive ability as a whole.

's target turned to Sierra.

"Fufufu, hahahahaha!"

And laughingly, aimed its other hand that was not holding the reins at her.

I knew what that gesture meant.

"Gatling incoming! Don't gather beside the tank, quick disperse!"

"Roger!"

"Escape"

"waaaah!?"

The boss was a bit far away from the position but I somehow managed to hit the boss using when it was under knocked down status. This was a lot of damage.

Unfortunately, Rika was too far to join us but Karua had enough leeway to participate as she closed the gap with mid range dash skill which can be used even while evading and launched her offensive one after another.

"Fuhahahahahaha!"

"!"

The mad Immediately fired an AoE attack after recovering from knockdown status but Sierra blocked it using her defensive skill flawlessly.

"Receive the healing, !"

"Thank you very much, Your Highness Lana. ! !"

The boss after recovering tried to target Lana however Sierra Immediately attracted its aggro towards herself once again.

But,

"Fuhahaha!"

"No wait, the target hasn't changed! It's going to use unique skills!"

Unluckily, the had already moved in to activate the unique skill before the target could change. A familiar red effect covers the whole body of the boss. Once activated, it can't be canceled.

's unique skill is . The boss unloads all its bullets in a straight-line, ranged attack, dealing massive damage.

"Crap, Lana, quickly shelter behind the Sierra! Cover, Sierra!"

"!"

"Rika and Karua concentrate on attacking it! Anything is fine, just blow it."

"Understood!"

What bad timing.

Lana has her defensive skill she used during battle, however it's only effective against magic attacks. It cannot defend against this unique skill.

The only way to defend is to be covered by Sierra and gods forbid, Lana would no longer be able to fight if she takes a direct hit!

Sierra slides in between the boss and Lana and projected the shield forward.

"! !"

"Lana, you give your all to maintain Sierra's HP"

"! !"

"Fuhahahahahahahaha!!"

"Kyaa!"

Sierra used her skills to quickly tighten her defense which Lana supported her by healing her from behind.

Just when they finished their action, the boss also began to fire it's unique skill .

The whole body of spit out fire and shoot thorns. The horse didn't stay quiet this time as it also shot a thorn missile from its hollow mouth and eyes. What a cowboy to have these features in its horse.

It may not look impressive, but its firepower is anything but mediocre. After all, it possesses the firepower same as an intermediate lower grade dungeon, and this was its unique skill to boot. I had confidence in Sierra's ability to withstand it, but...... her scream just now gave me fright. I'm very much anxious if Lana is properly following up with her healing. Right now, I can only believe in them in order to focus on my task.

We are currently approaching the cowboy who couldn't move under the barrage of attacks, firing at Sierra and Lana and preparing for our ace attacks.

And thus, right after it was in immovable state from using unique skill, we commenced our all out attacks.

"! Oryaaa一 ! ! ! !"

"Haaa一 ! ! ! !"

"! ! ! !"

"Hahahaha一一fuyaa!?"

The was knocked down, receiving the critical hits from our attacks as it finished firing a whole volley of its thorn bullets.

Yoshi, another chance! I will let you know why the unique skill is a double edged sword!

Afterwards, the boss couldn't make a comeback under the barrage of our second all out attack and eventually sank into the sea of effects and disappeared.

T/N : Sorry for the delay, a couple hours late due to the blackout here.

2.Some skills may sound stiff, I will rename them once I find their respective description in previous chapters.

3.Incidentally, if anyone is bored by continuous battle chapters, the next arc will start after 5 chapters. So you can look forward to it!
