Last Shelter Online-Chapter 178 Flametalon Phoenix

The bright sky suddenly turned very dark, as if the source of light that was the main lighting in that place had just been extinguished. The howls of pain from the monsters around the forest instantly made the hairs on Hiro’s neck stand up.

What he had just done was take the stone he was looking for. It was the only reason for his arrival at that place. It seemed the Dwarf words were true. The stone was a source of life, so the monsters and the living things in that place could keep on living. It was even capable of strangely resurrecting the dinosaur fossils.

With the removal of the stone from its place, all the life that had been created in that place was taken away. The skeleton monsters fell and turned back into fossils.

It was dark, and Hiro couldn’t see anything. However, suddenly, from a distance above the sky, whose colour was indistinguishable from the land, a giant flame could be seen coming close. It moved very quickly. The shape looked very beautiful and its size was almost three times the size of the centaur that Hiro had fought. The monster flew while flapping its wings that spread across the sky. Every time it flapped its wings, the fireballs fell down and burned the very dark forest.

Hiro swallowed hard, and he immediately looked for a small hole where he could place the Hell stone in his hand. Searching for the hole in the dark was a bit difficult. Besides, the hole he was looking for was very small.

Hiro wouldn’t have had enough time to find it.

Hop!

He jumped down from the altar stone and looked for a foothold. Still on top of the pyramid that had half been destroyed for no exact reason. He decided to fight the phoenix-shaped boss monster first, before upgrading the power of his sword.

“Well, it will be my first boss fight this time. And it can fly.” Hiro held the Blood-Eater Vampire in his hand.

Whoosh!.

The phoenix suddenly shot like a bolt of lightning. It quickly hit Hiro’s body, and he didn’t have time to dodge it.

Bang!

?[0)??? [-1100]

Hiro wriggled in the air. His body was locked by the painful grip of the phoenix’s feet. Its sharp and pointed toenails scraped the skin of his stomach until the robe he was wearing was torn apart and he was bleeding profusely.

“Damn, I’m flying.”

The phoenix took him flying without doing anything. But still, the grip of its feet made Hiro keep on losing health points.

“Where are you taking me, huh?”

After flying far enough and unable to move because of the grip of the Phoenix’s feet, the Phoenix finally threw Hiro violently onto a landing site.

Crash!

[-5050]

Hiro tumbled down on the flat, rocky ground. And even though his whole body was ached a lot, he didn’t have time to relax and wait. He immediately stood up while facing the boss monster that was still flying in front of him. It was so close to Hiro’s position. It also kept making a squeaking sound that hurt the ears. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

“Spyro.” Hiro activated Spyro buff and turned it into battle mode. After evolving into teen, Spyro could already take part in the battle.

At that place, Hiro just realized that he was standing in a flat and round arena like a place that had been devoted to fighting the monster. Even so, he saw no way out in that place because extremely scorching and boiling lava surrounded the place, trapping him. Meanwhile, the small mountain who continued to vomit their lava were seen lined up on the edge of the place.

“Quite an intimidating place for bossing.”

“Let’s go, Spyro!’

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Hiro used the [Godspeed Dash] skill that he had levelled up by absorbing a lot of curses energy, allowing him to zigzag at the speed of light in a direction that the phoenix couldn’t predict. Finally, he was swinging his sword with all his might towards the phoenix’s chest that was flying majestically.

Splat!

[-9900]

“Damn, I can’t use my combo with a flying monster like this.”

Hiro realized that he might not be able to defeat the monster as quickly as usual.

“Spyro!”

Spyro shot out a breath of blue flames towards the wide slash that Hiro had managed to inflict on the Phoenix’s chest.

[Divine Blast]

Boom!

[-25000]

“Hmm, not bad.”

It was the only magic skill Spyro could perform for its current phase. And the cooldown period was quite long, which was about 15 minutes. Afterwards, Spyro could only help Hiro by using physical attacks.

Even though the figure he saw was quite large, the phoenix looked completely unmoved, as if he was just a small fry for it. And, Hiro still couldn’t see the phoenix’s health points right now.

Kwakkk!

The phoenix swooped down while opening its pointed beak to catch Hiro and tear him apart. But, Hiro quickly dodged to the side and attacked it by slamming hard the blood-eater vampire’s blade against its neck.

Splat!

[-13090]

This time the phoenix reacted slightly, squinting its red glowing eyes, then shaking its head to bring it back into focus.

The battle continued, and Hiro managed to give slashes, kicks, and even punches. Even so, until Spyro was able to cast his [Divine Blast] three times, the phoenix’s health points still didn’t appear.

Hiro had also to pay attention to his potion supply that kept running low. He couldn’t stay there for too long or he would lose just because he ran out of health potions and energy potions.

When the phoenix took out its ultimate skill once again, Hiro was almost killed and his HP was very red.

The ultimate phoenix skill tended to attack a specific area and Hiro couldn’t avoid it. He had tried to run away from the phoenix while it was charging before blowing up the volcanoes in that place, making a flood of lava to where Hiro was standing.

Now Hiro knew why the phoenix had brought him to that place before fighting against him.

While running to avoid the splatter of lava that came from the air like hundreds of falling meteors, Hiro reached into his inventory to take out the Hell stone. He had to put it up in its place or the phoenix could never be defeated.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Crash!

Every time Hiro saw the lava landing on a rock, the rock instantly shattered and it created a hole where boiling lava came out of it.

Hiro knew that if he got caught by the lava, he would get a hole in his own body.

And finally. Hiro found it. The small hole he had been looking for. He immediately put the stone in the hollow. Thanks to the fire, even though it was so hot, he could finally see in the dark.

Ding!
