Chapter 11
The Unidentified Super Boss suddenly jumped high and all Ethel and Viridis could see was a silhouette of the boss monster with two small glowing red dots for eyes.
"Move" Ethel said as they moved before the USB landed.
Once the USB landed the ground, like before, broke underneath them. "Not again" Viridis, Ethel and Karin said as they fell.
It was then Viridis noticed something. "This is a lot longer than the other one" He looked at the multiple debris falling around them and he gotten an idea. "Ethel, follow my lead" He said as he started to use the rubble to move around.
Viridis jumped from one piece of rubble to another. He pulled his fist back as he bounced off another large piece of the floor towards the USB.
Viridis punched the USB in the jaw sending it to the wall as it slammed into it and bounced off the wall.
The grinning super boss swung his own fist as Viridis jumped off another piece of rubble. The USB smashed the piece of rubble as Ethel shot many arrows at the USB.
The USB grabbed one of the falling pieces of rubble and threw it at Ethel who had to jump from the piece of rubble she was one.
Viridis looked down to see that it was still a long way down. He pulled his fists back again as he slammed them into a bigger piece of rubble, the rubble went flying over to where the USB was hitting it.
"Just how much HP does it have?" Viridis questioned. "I'm so going to enjoying pummelling you in NG+"
Viridis bounced from the falling piece of rubble towards the super boss. His fury in the form of knuckles landing a blow of punches on the USB, Viridis then kicked off the USB sending him back into a wall which the USB used to jump after Viridis.
The USB's large fist quickly approached the blonde sending Viridis into the wall which he bounced off and into another piece of falling rubble.
"Viridis are you okay?" Karin asked from the fury as Ethel tried to line up a good shot after missing the last one.
"Yeah…I'm fine…I think" He said getting up from the piece of rubble. He then threw himself off as the USB swung its hand down sending the piece of debris further down. "Glad I dodge that"
The USB eyes darted on Ethel as a red beam fired from the eyes just as Ethel shot a few arrows but unfortunately for Ethel got hit by a beam on her side.
"You okay?" Viridis asked as jumped higher from rubble to rubble and even off the walls.
"Yes" Ethel said as she looked up at the USB and Viridis.
"Now quickly jump higher"
Ethel nodded as she started to jump as the USB turned to a Viridis falling towards the USB with a fist in front of him. The attacked landed on the USB as Viridis went past Ethel who was jumping man.
Viridis then punched the USB to make it go down further and looked up to see Ethel higher than him. "Ethel, make sure to stay out of this next attack" He said as the ruby eyed girl nodded.
Viridis then held up his right hand which as his fury was still in the knuckle form. "Witness this new technique" He said quite dramatically.
A large white sphere was formed where Viridis' arm was raised. "White Star" Viridis called out his attack as he sent the large white coloured sphere of light down towards the USB.
The USB raised its hands as if to catch the attack, it failed. The sphere burnt its hands as the beast was soon consumed by the attack as it the 'star' then exploded after pushing the USB down further.
Ethel then jumped down to where he was as he fell while she landed on a piece of rubble that was falling.
"Is that it?" She asked as Viridis shook his head.
"No, far from it" He said. "For some reason I got this feeling that this boss isn't giving up anytime soon"
They then dodged a red laser. "We need to make sure it is down for go, and I mean nothing left remaining, not even a corpse"
Ethel nodded as Karin spoke up. "That was a pretty interesting skill you had there" She said.
"Thanks" He replied as he dived down after Karin complementing on the skill.
It was something he had learned about skills and magic, skills used weapon types like his Sky Slash requiring his fury to be a sword or his Holy Spear requiring his fury to be a spear or the default form for his.
Magic however didn't require a fury yet could still be used through one or with one like his Convergence of his Flash Bomb.
He didn't know if the Gamindustri skills worked in the same way but back in Gamindustri it seemed that skills meant using both weapon and not. It was kind of combination between skills and magic that require and don't require a fury.
Viridis dived down as he dodged some of the lower rubble and some being thrown by the USB while also dodging the lasers it was firing at him.
Viridis pressed his hands together as his fury changed from a pair of knuckles into a spear. He then began to twirl the spear in his hands blocking the laser beams. He then started to dive with his spear facing the USB as he then slammed into the USB's gut with the spear's tip.
Ethel then appeared above him as she shot some more arrows, they made a good team. Viridis stabbed his spear into the USB and flipped them around as Ethel fired a barrage of arrows. "Enemy Umbrella" They both said as what seemed to be a hundred arrows rained down on the USB as Viridis flicked it off the spear downwards after the tag team attack ended.
"I think I see the floor" Karin said as the words hit in.
"We need to stop before he hit the ground" Viridis said as he changed his spear into a greatsword and pierced it into the wall as he jumped over to it.
Ethel did the same thing as her bow changed into a scythe as she dug her scythe into the wall as they started to slow down while approaching the floor quickly, they did hear a loud crash at the bottom.
Soon the two pulled their weapons out of the wall once they were safe that they would survive the remaining height. Viridis jumped holding the greatsword facing down as he landed on the USB while Ethel bounced off the boss and changed her scythe back into a bow.
Viridis' greatsword morphed back into a spear as the USB got up and seemed…angry? The USB's brown fur suddenly turned red.
"Oh dear" Karin said as they witnessed the USB become red.
"At least this means it's almost dead for real though" Viridis said. "But for a boss with this much health this early…"
Viridis dodged an attack from the super boss as it cut off his sentence. "Its speed is increased" Viridis looked at where the boss attacked. "And also its strength has increased as well"
"You two should be careful" Karin said. "It would be best to avoid any attacks it perform now"
Viridis nodded as Ethel dodged an attack from the now red USB.
"Damn thing is too annoying" Viridis said as Ethel agreed.
The USB suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Viridis and landed a strong punch sending the protagonist of this story into the wall.
Meanwhile back in Gamindustri as the party was watching through the drone, Neptune suddenly stood up. "Someone is saying that this story has another protagonist that isn't me!"
They all looked at her like she was crazy before watching the drone again as we go back to the action.
Viridis pried himself from the wall as Ethel was currently dodging the fast attacks while countering with her fury in scythe form.
The USB managed to hit Ethel and sent her into Viridis. "You okay?" Viridis asked as he caught Ethel after she slammed into him.
Ethel nodded slowly which prompted Viridis to hand her a potion. "Take it" He said as she grabbed the potion.
Now with Ethel healed up, Viridis took out an energy shard. "If this keeps going we might have to Fairize" He said.
He then used his spear to stab one of the fallen pieces of rubble that hadn't broken from the incredible long fall. He then flung the debris off and it hit the USB as Ethel kept it busy.
The unknown super boss turned to him before eyes locked onto the candidate as it fired multiple red beams at him. Viridis then started to run as the USB started to fire multiple laser beams again while following Viridis as he ran.
"Executing Shooting Star" Karin said as Ethel shot the bow attack after changing her fury back to its default bow form.
The ice arrow hit the USB in the eye causing said beast to stumble over allowing Viridis to rush in and attack it with the spear directly piercing the stomach of the boss.
Enraged, the USB whacked Viridis away before suddenly dashing in front of Ethel who then fell backwards at the sudden speed of the boss as said boss threw a punch towards the fallen fencer.
Ethel closed her eyes, she knew that she would be able to take one punch from the boss as she had enough HP but if the boss pulled out a multiple hit combo then her HP would be zero.
However the hit never came and when she opened her eyes she saw that Viridis had his fury changed into knuckle form and his own fist was connected with the USB.
"What sort of cliché was that" He muttered. "You okay?"
Ethel nodded as Viridis managed to push the USB back as his fury once more became a spear. They shared a look and they nodded. Ethel aimed her bow up and fired as Viridis threw his spear up into the sky.
Fairy Fencer F OST – Full Contact
The spear pierced Viridis' gut as did Ethel's arrow which pierced her own gut after they fell after being thrown into the air.
Ethel gained two stake drivers on her legs that looked like it would hold her in place from any recoil and what looked like a large winged jetpack with one cannon on the right side and a circle on the other.
Viridis however appeared as he did in his HDD form but he noticed something, the energy used with Fairize while different would eventually change his Fairize form.
It seemed that his HDD took on the form of his Fury Form. It felt different without Lola, the same with his share energy. He also found out that he could use his share energy while in his Fury Form but only a little.
While he was adjusting to this new world and its own energy that allowed him to use this world's magic and skills which at first he thought came from his Fury before he realised it was then flowing through him.
His Fury Form would eventually change to look different from his current form if he allowed it to change, he would probably have blonde hair rather than green and maybe some new armour parts. He did wonder what a HDD Fairize would be like.
"Let's go Ethel" Viridis said as he and Ethel got into position ready to attack.
Ethel fired arrow after arrow towards the USB which now had one of its eyes closed as it tried to swat the now green haired fencer. The godly candidate then zoomed around to the USB's back as it was still trying to turn around.
It seemed that the eye damaged the USB greatly. Viridis then stabbed the super boss in the back before slamming the USB into the wall.
"The tables have turned" Viridis said as he pulled his spear back before getting a kick from the USB. "Okay that was new" He said before another fast kick sent him flying.
"Shooting Star" Ethel said shooting another attack at the USB.
"Convergence" Viridis called out as three white rings surrounded the USB and then started constrict it. "Now Ethel"
Ethel then flew other with her winged jetpack and landed as the two devices on Ethel's legs then stabbed into the ground. A blue light was seen gathering in the cannon of her Fury Form. "Supernova" Karin and Ethel said together as the cannon unleashed a large blue energy beam that engulfed the unknown super boss.
Viridis then caused his own attack to go off afterwards. "This time it better be dead" He said.
"It shouldn't have taken that attack" Karin said from the fury. "That was a finishing move"
The cloud of smoke that covered where the explosion of both of their attacks happened revealed the USB with its fist in the ground, legs shaking and seemed to be coughing up a lot of blood. "Gaor" The USB growled loudly.
"So it can make noise" Viridis said as he grabbed his spear and walked forward towards the beast.
The USB's fur then turned from red to black. It was on its last legs.
"It's practically dead Ethel, Karin" He said. "This thing is just a walking corpse ready to be put out of its misery"
"You know…you're a pretty strong boss" Viridis said. "While we had trouble I would like to fight you again someday but I will give you an honourable death"
Viridis raised his spear and aimed it to the centre of its chest. "You are probably the strongest thing I'll ever fight so far" He said.
Viridis then thrusted the spear into the USB as the boss looked up into the sky before the faded away signalling that it had died after the small little explosion.
The unknown super boss gave a lot of EXP, Gold and a few useful drops. "You ready to go Ethel, Karin?" He asked as he turned to see both of them nod. "Then let's get out of here"
Viridis' green hair turned back blonde as he then casted his spell to get them out of the dungeon. Meanwhile in a field a drone stopped moving and turned towards where the three towers were located.
"Did you sense that?" Noire asked as a few of them nodded.
"It felt like share energy" Histoire said.
"But very little that it was almost undetectable" Kei said as she watched the screen.
"I think we got our lead" Histoire said. "Nepgear"
"On it" Nepgear then got the drone to go towards the faint use of share energy.
Vert had a look of hope on her face as the drone went towards the location of share energy, she felt both hopeful and nervous, she was nervous to see her younger brother. Multiple thoughts went through her head, what if he was dead by the time the drone reached him? What if he was in with a bad group or even worse (for her) liked it here.
This was reflected on her face, yet she still wanted to see him. Of course she wanted to see her younger brother and to see if he was safe. Just because that this new world looked beautiful didn't mean that it wasn't safe.
It could be much worse than what they briefly saw of this world. Vert gained a determined look on her face to see her brother who vanished as Chika placed a hand on her shoulder, and they shared a look briefly.
They both wanted to see Viridis again, and they might be seeing him soon.
I might give Viridis' Fury Form its own look but I might leave it as the same as his HDD form.
