This is the floor boss of the 25th floor.
By the way, the huge fish that Dominaria・ Gillman Lord Rider was riding, is a carnivorous shell armored fish type name “Ragon”.
This monster fish was over 7 meters long, like a whale.
The battle with Dominaria・ Gillman Lord Rider was a drawn-out one.
At first, Dominaria・ Gillman Lord Rider didn’t approach.
Basically, distance attacks seen to be the main way of attacking, as Ragon attacks by sending out a tidal wave with his gigantic fin, or spitting out a water ball from his mouth, while the 4-pronged spear automatically returns to the owner’s hand after a throwing attack.
There’s also dash attack where Ragon comes out of the water at high speed and the spear is thrust at me. Even though they can also perform short-range attacks, their frequency was extremely low.
Even so, I cut him in the intervals between his long-distance attacks, and as his physical strength fell below a certain value, he began to summon a countless amount of its “Gillman Knight” followers after that.
With traits resembling various fishes, such as sea devil and tuna, the Gillman knights, armed with tridents, circled the ship at high speed and concentrated their aim on the small ship instead of me.
Looks like they intend to sink it.
Because the Gillman knights that were attacking from the water were annoying, I kept evading their attacks with 【Hydro Hand】, while enjoying surfing. I occasionally thrust my halberd when I saw my chance, and enjoyed the fresh flavor.
If I would add soy sauce to this sashimi, it would surely be even more delicious.
Because I liked them, I put several of them in my item box, as the back and forth continued.
As it accumulated more damage, the close combat gradually increased as well, and while it became easier to hit him, I was having more difficulty dealing with his 4-pronged spear.
Dominaria・ Gillman Lord Rider has the skill 【Spear Master】 which makes him an expert in wielding spears. His basic skill was higher than a Gillman Lord across the board because of his lineage, in addition to the bonus from the dungeon. Each single blow was fast and heavy.
Moreover, his spear is a magic item that has 4 abilities corresponding to the total number of spearheads -- 【Automatic Return】、【Deadly Fish Poison】、【Mental Contamination】、【Physical Contamination】 -- it does wonderful damage even if you get grazed by it.
Especially 【Mental Contamination】 and 【Physical Contamination】 are troublesome.
If you continue to receive attacks, your body and mind gradually lose energy and you ultimately die.
I managed to avert his attacks with my halberd, though it grazed me several times while I was repelling it during the fight. Because of that I had to endure the pressure that gnawed at my body and mind each time.
When I was finally able to defeat him, the strong pressure subsided after some time, and I felt relaxed once relieved.
