/All the beasts have been cleared. You have passed the first objective! Your party has acquired 160 Gem points!/

/The boss monster, Mother, shall appear!/

After several notifications popped up, a massive amount of darkness rolled into the town center.

Roar!

A 100-meter-tall monster comprised of darkness emerged.

“Welcome~!”

Whirl!

From the sky, the Apache helicopter shot a barrage of 2.75-inch rocket bullets and Hellfire missiles. Every single one hit their mark!

Roar!

“Kyak!”

Due to the barrage of bullets and missiles, Mother started writhing around. With the monster’s immense body, it was also a huge target, so Cruze’s attacks heavily injured it.

Roar!

As Mother contorted in pain, more darkness started entering its body. Once the gathered darkness reached a certain point, it shot out like a shockwave into the surroundings.

Boom!

After amplifying five years of internal energy into 40, Merlin used the Great Strength Vajra Hand to counter the shockwave. Meanwhile, Arthur used Bursting Sword Light to slash the shockwave, whereas Cruze used her Hellfire missiles. As for Ilyia, she had hidden beforehand, so Mother’s attack wasn’t directed toward her.

“Eh?! Watch out!”

“Oh, shoot!”

Only one party member was completely defenseless: Lancelot. Moreover, Mother spawned near him, so Lancelot couldn’t avoid the oncoming attack.

Sss.

In this predicament, Lancelot raised his spear, pulling it back before lunging out and stabbing. It was a simple move, yet it was neatly done with tremendous stability. There was nothing to fault or add; it was perfect. In other words, his stab was a [Complete] version.

Whoosh!

His attack didn’t collide with the shockwave. The only effects were the gentle sound of wind created by his stabbing motion and a small hole that was cut...
