We made our way to the dungeon boss without stopping, fighting off opponents on the way as they came. Although the number of attackers was lower than usual, the number of injuries increased significantly.
Although I and Kugime-chan are detecting incoming ambushes, and Seiji-kun quickly tends to our wounds, we are accumulating fatigue from constant battle and the hostile environment, which makes continuing ever more difficult.
Our pace slowed down tremendously, but in exchange it increased the inflow of experience, thus increasing our levels.
Slowly but surely moving forward.
In the evening we finally found the third field boss.
The third boss [Golden Heffalump], if you were to describe it, it's a giant golden elephant soldier that walks on two legs and is armed with a battle axe.
Its height is barely under 25 meters, surpassing even the body of the [Fomorian Giant King] Balor, in truth he looked like a moving hill. His whole body was pretty thick, especially his large torso and seemingly abnormally wide legs that allowed him to steadily support the entire weight of his enormous body.
He was almost nude, except for a durable black and silver loincloth. His natural armor, his golden skin, didn't have a single scratch on it.
Any weak attack wouldn't be able to hurt him. In addition, in order to destroy the supports of his huge body, bones and muscles, you need to use something really destructive.
He has a trunk that is so long, it already reached his feet. It acts as a third hand and was wielded like a mace to attack the enemy.
While moving he swings from side to side, occasionally touching some of the surrounding stones by accident and easily crushes them. It becomes clear how destructive he would be if he were to attack at full force.
On either side of his huge trunk grows four tusks that have the size of a battering ram and were completely unscathed.
Of all the creatures we've fought, without any doubt, he has the highest attack and defense powers.
Just looking at his body, he looks like a very problematic adversary. He is so huge that even his axe is bigger than Minokichi-kun, and that is very troublesome.
I was not too eager to fight him, and the power of the swing of his battle axe was so strong it even split the dust in the air, but luckily it seems like it doesn't have any corrosive effects or anything of the like.
ED: The lines above were super confusing so please, if you understand please edit those stupid lines. ED: Got you bbycakes. Ed Zak: I think that in russian version are some thing added here and there, that multiply the confusion.
Due to the huge muscles of [Golden Heffalump], it could strike with incredible speed, contrary to his huge size. At this level, Minokichi-kun or I would barely be able to block it.
That conclusion was reinforced when we saw that the [Golden Heffalump] cut off the head of a [Magma Lizard] with a swing of its battleaxe.
[Magma Lizard] is a cousin to the drake, it's about 10 meters long and starts its hunting from a hillside. Its combat abilities are comparable to that of a drake so, to be taken down by a single hit, the attack power of [Golden Heffalump] must be considerably high - and that says a lot.
Without a doubt: a terrible enemy. If you drop your guard at all it will cost you your life.
Naturally we did not run away from fear, but to observe it for a while. It was decided that we had a chance to win, but it was not decided immediately.
[Golden Heffalump] is certainly strong and fast, but because the enemy is unusually heavy, it has almost no special attacks. If we act with care, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
With its defense power even Minokichi-kun attacks will not do much, but under a contentious barrage the damage will accumulate and will take it down.
