Chapter 91: Raid Dungeon (8)
Ketal glanced around, wondering how to exploit the boss’s mechanics. His party members were busy hauling off unconscious mercenaries and the chains were scattered on the ground. Ever since the boss entered its hidden phase, the hole in its chest had closed up, and its chains had come loose. Those chains still lay where they had fallen.
Maybe I can use those, Ketal thought.
He decided to try the same mechanic as before—bind the boss’s four arms with those freed chains and restrain it again. Some raid bosses required repeating the same gimmick. With that in mind, Ketal raced toward the boss and reached out.
Boom.
He clenched his fist and slammed it down, shaking the entire room.
The monster screamed, “Kyaaah!”
Without delay, Ketal snatched up the chains from the floor and began wrapping them around the boss’s arms. The cuffs on each end had come undone, so he couldn’t fasten them normally. Instead, he simply wound the chains tightly around its limbs.
Of course, the boss wasn’t going to hold still. There was no way it would just watch while its arms got chained up. It thrashed its arms in an attempt to shake him off, and Ketal was a bit annoyed.
“Stay put,” Ketal muttered, stomping on the boss’s torso in irritation.
A deafening boom echoed, and the boss coughed up blood, even though it was immune to physical damage and hadn’t actually been injured. It had at least been rattled enough to pause, so Ketal kept winding the chains around its arms.
Next, I should anchor these to those pillars on the edges, Ketal thought. He picked up the chains and headed for the perimeter of the room, only to find no pillars waiting there.
