Chapter 73
"...Is this some sick joke?" - Noire
"Numbers don’t lie... even if we want them too..." - Alf
When I safely returned from the scouting mission and told them what I found, the depression was visible from a mile away. Even more so when they got to see the snakes’ stats from the bestiary of the Kigal-Note.
"...I’ve heard a rumor about the Boitata. That one’s supposed to protect the forest, so the forest in return recovers that thing’s mana and lifeforce." - Mira
"So... it’s like the Cerberus you told me about?" - Garami
"The one guarding the Nether, yes. It is something called a ’Territory Boss’. If this ’Boitata’ is the same, then we can forget about defeating it." - Mira
It’s Fire after all. Both me and Alf have a natural disadvantage against that one. Mira... could probably deal some damage, if she uses her Extra Skill to the point of breaking, along with some Zahhak-support... no. That won’t work. This thing’s RES is too high. Not to forget-
"C-can we not ignore the flaming snake and focus on the black one instead?" - Noire
"The black one, the Boiluna, could be even worse. In a pure fight, it may be weaker than the flaming one on land, since the Boiluna is specialized in fighting in the river and not on land, but it is a Darkness attribute. That gives it defense against Garami’s own Darkness-related moves, not to mention that it can kill Mira in one strike." - Alf
"I think that none of us can survive either one though." - Mira
That’s the problem. I managed to Identify goat-head’s status page before I left, and from the looks of it, he’s weak in a physical fight. Even Marc could win in a fistfight if he uses those Barrier-skills of his. The three classes of his ain’t exactly battle-worthy either.
