Chapter 493: Harvest Feast
Just before it collides with me, magic circles appear on both sides of the shub-niggurath.
“Oo, OOoOOOOOO…”
A repulsive moan escapes its many mouths, and two spheres of earth materialise. It’s the [Clay Sphere] skill… It’s been doubled with [Parallel Chanting]. Its magic significantly stronger than any of the other monsters I’ve seen on this island. It’s not something I can let hit me lightly.
I suppose I should use [Mirror Counter] here. I wanted to try it out before fighting Lilixira, anyway.
A wall of light appears in front of me. As the earthen spheres touch the wall, they reverse direction and shoot back at the shub-niggurath. This is good. It can completely shut down magic-bullet type skills. I also got it at a high skill level, so it’s nice and easy to use. Still, not knowing for sure what it can block is a bit anxiety-inducing.
I swing my arm up, intending to hit it with a [Dimension Claw] while it’s staggered. But, the shub-niggurath ignores the [Clay Spheres] and instead flicks a tentacle towards me… I guess it's able to shrug off hits that black young take for it.
I swing my claw to directly tear through the [Tentacle Whip]. But, the tentacle doesn’t break. Instead, a nearby black young explodes into a shower of green blood and entrails. I managed to knock the tentacle away, but… If its tentacles can be invincible too, I'm put at a disadvantage.
“OoooOOOO!”
From the shib-niggurath’s mouths, a black smog leaks out. This must be its [Plague Breath].
