Shoujo Grand Summoning Chapter 750: Who is the real floor boss?

Fwish

With Heavengazer and Elucidator drawing mirages in the air, he cut in twain the phantoms that tried to stop him. Turning the black mist into grey air that surged into the dark mass of swirling darkness. Nothing could stop Wu Yan.

Asuna wanted to charge with Wu Yan but the phantoms born from the dark mist kept her busy. She clenched her teeth in frustration as she dealt with the adversaries at hand.

Before Wu Yan can land a hit on the entity within the dark mass, a howl came from within. A vague figure of a giant entity could be seen within the swirling darkness.

A bestial claw came from the entity’s side, it swiped at Wu Yan’s chest with its gnarly claws.

With a flash in his eyes, he unfurled Elucidator which is shining with the light of sword skills, blocking the claws.

Clang

A heavy and gloomy aura came from the bestial claws. The supernatural power ground against Elucidator’s skill, making sparks and ear-piercing noises.

Wu Yan’s expression changed when he saw the malevolent claws in front of him. He used Heavengazer to smack the claws on his other sword.

Bam

Awooo

The giant entity cried in pain, shaking the room with its wail. Wu Yan and Asuna were momentarily stunned by this loud noise.

The entity retreated into the swirling dark mass. Elucidator opened up a hole in the swirling dark mist cloud because there is nothing to stop it.

An indicator floated above the misty cloud. 7 HP bars were hanging there, the top-most bar only got depleted by a little bit.

Wu Yan and Asuna understood this as the 99th-floor’s boss.

“The floor boss is a swirling mass of dark clouds?”

Asuna couldn’t help but express her surprise.

They have never heard of a boss with an ambiguous form like this before.

As for Wu Yan who is the closest to the entity, he peered through the hole he opened and his pupils shrunk.

Inside the swirling clouds, the phantoms were merging into one like maggots that consumed each other inside a Gu pot. At the core of this monstrosity is an entity around 3 meters tall that absorbed the surrounding dark powers like a suckling. It solidified further when more dark energy streamed into its body.

That was the giant entity that fought Wu Yan.

Wu Yan’s face darkened and his two swords started shining brightly as he slashed the swirling clouds there.

Boom

The clouds got smashed apart as sparks flew whenever the swords touched tendrils of darkness and the dark mist around the dark mass.

The swirling cloud’s HP bar fell some more. The red gleam also dimmed down when damaged. However, the phantoms and even the giant entity itself were enraged as they roared in sync.

The wandering tendrils formed spikes that flew at Wu Yan.

He got sent flying away by the spears of darkness.

“Yan!”

Asuna blew off the phantoms holding her back as she caught Wu Yan. They landed a few meters away. Stabilizing themselves, Asuna asked Wu Yan.

“Yan…”

Asuna helped Wu Yan get back on his feet.

“You okay?”

“Yeah, I am fine…”

Wu Yan rubbed his chest. The healing fairy flew over to heal him back to full health.

“This floor boss, its attack patterns are too abnormal…”

Wu Yan raised his head. He furrowed his brows at the swirling cloud overhead.

Asuna also knitted her brows with a troubled look.

“Why is the floor boss a cloud?”

“Ask Kayaba Akihiko…”

Wu Yan shook his head.

He pointed both his swords at the dark cloud.

“We already confirmed the black cloud is the floor boss. Attacking the black mist can deplete its HP. Attacking the shadows and phantoms spawned will not harm the boss in the slightest. When we kill the spawns of darkness, they will coalesce into an entity that grows stronger with each phantom slain.”

Asuna thought about when Wu Yan clashed with the entity born from the darkness. Her head started aching.

That entity is on par with Wu Yan in terms of strength. With a seemingly endless amount of shadow and dark spawns around them, the entity will only grow stronger the longer this fight drags on…

Fortunately for them, they came by themselves. If the clearers fought against a boss like this, their formation will probably collapse in no time at all. This is one battle where the more players you had, the more disadvantage you had in a battle. This boss is a natural predator and the raid group is the prey.

They numbered less than the phantoms. And these phantoms can definitely swarm the players. When they break formation, that would be the end of the raid group.

Wu Yan and Asuna’s expression turned grave. They looked at the swirling cloud which is still emitting the sounds of tortured souls. Wu Yan can vividly feel the demonic cries mixed within the anguished screams of the damned.

The swirling cloud finally stopped churning and the sinister red color within the cloud started receding.

“I-it’s gone!”

Asuna tightened her grip on her rapier.

“Is the floor boss dead?...”

“If only that were true…”

Wu Yan bitterly laughed.

“I am afraid the tough fight is only just starting…”

The black cloud in the air dispersed, leaving only a small core at the center. A blood-red entity revealed itself to Wu Yan and Asuna in place of the swirling clouds.

It had humanoid arms, legs, and head, minus a face. It stood 3 meters tall...

Its arrival made Asuna and Wu Yan look grim.

Like an entity made out of blood, it looked somber and malicious. It had a savage and cold aura coming from it.

Its blank face had two piercing red eyes that told the players here it’s not here to dispense fun. Like a ravenous wolf, it stared at the players here.

The core merged with the entity, it pulsated like a heart on the center-left side of the entity’s chest. The giant now had 7 bars of HP.

Roar

It emitted a booming bellow.
