The Eye of Cthulhu

(Denzel's POV):

"Perfect timing Denz, we're just about to call you." - Seymour

I entered the meeting room in the castle that had all other members in various chairs. Only my seat was vacant on the long table.

"What's the plan?"

I immediately went to my seat and listened in to Seymour who initiates the meeting.

"Alright, now that everyone is here. Let's discuss our strategy to fight against the upcoming attack." - Seymour

Seymour has given out various things in discussion for countermeasures of an incoming boss mob. According to the lore, there was a monster that will appear to eliminate everything in this world that it watches over. From the details, Seymour said that it was a giant eyeball that has some bloody parts reaching out at the back.

"So, we're fighting a giant eyeball that watches over the entire world? It's seriously similar to the game at home you know?" - Michael

"Right, it's seriously that 2d game where we had fun some time ago...���

"I know right? The lore of everything in this world is true so if we go about it that way, this monster is invincible in its second form and has high speed regeneration of the flesh." - Seymour

"You're kidding?! Then what are we supposed to do?" - Robin

A boss who is invincible at the 2nd form straight off the bat huh? I wonder if we'll be fine...

The discussion turned into a simple chatter about how our lives went on. I went to Seymour's circle that included Julius and Karl this time.

"Alright, you guys remember right? Denzel will be stopping at the top of the central tower... Below you is a layer of walls around the castle keep, use it to your advantage if you need to move around." - Seymour

"How many do you think we'll be fighting?"

"We're guaranteed at least one per party... So since Julius and Karl will be partying up with the rest by a few groups or so. Us four will be fighting alone." - Seymour

"Another test eh?" - Michael

"Right, I have expected this..." - Robin

"Well, might as well..."

"And I forbid you three from using tarot cards..." - Seymour

"Why?!?!"

I would've been fine if I used tarot cards but... This seems unlikely... Well I don't plan on dying anyway...

I checked on my inventory silently to see whether I have useful things that could buff me for a while. I may have to rely on magic abilities that could grand me movement speed or send off a barrage of attacks.

"Alright you three, no more pondering of your strategies... You lot would be keeping all the loot you'll get along with an extra gift I'll hand over after the boss fight." - Seymour

All of us dispersed from the meeting room and moved in towards our positions.

Seymour went towards the open area on the north of the castle.

Michael took the east side where it's sloped up a bit...

Robin takes on the south area which is going more uphill.

And the two parties are taking on the west side which is technically the widest part.

I partied up with Bella's group but I'm fighting alone at the top of the central tower...

This'll be a great experience for a while...

Night comes and I suddenly gain the feeling of something watching me. I tried to check all around me for presences but I found nothing.

"A spacious tower, lower walls that are technically my only movement route... Towers in each corner that can screw over my setup... In all honesty, this is a horrible arena... No wonder Seymour put me here..."

The moon starts giving light on the dim visibility of darkness. I didn't pay attention to the light the moon gave but to my surroundings as it became too quiet.

After some time I heard Seymour from coms...

"Here they come... We got a total of five!" - Seymour

I looked up since the moonlight was immediately covered by five giant eyeballs levitating down towards me. Four of them diverged and started targeting the others down.

"I got nervous there for a second..."

The giant eyeball starts spewing out numerous smaller eyeballs that are trying to attack me.

I spread out my mana and created a small hailstorm within my area only. It helped me clear off the extra eyes that are flying around the arena. While doing so, I summoned a few ice spikes and aimed them towards the giant eye that seems to be charging something.

"Transweapon tech! Vajra!"

I changed my Omnitelum into two halves of a coffin sized shield and used it to cover me from above out of instinct.

While doing so I shot up the five ice spikes which made some blood drip down to the tower.

I then start to feel extreme charging to my body which is because of the implementation of an effect on Omnitelum when using the Vajra form.

When I noticed, my mana has been recharged back to full before I felt the heavy pressure hitting my shield. At that point I found out it was a converged energy.

After the convergence of energy ended up being deflected to the atmosphere, I then changed it back to a pair of gauntlets.

"Jeez, that was dangerous if I didn't use Vajra there..."

When I noticed, the giant eye starts coming in closer at a high speed. Oh boy, it's gonna ram at me now...

I jumped off the tower and landed to one of the inner walls... I checked to see if the giant eye destroyed it. With a sigh of relief, the eyeball just phased through the tower no problem...

"Oh, I honestly thought it'll destroy the tower this instant..."

I dashed towards one of the corner towers of the inner walls.

The giant eye continues to bleed. Now, it's moving towards me while summoning eyeballs and charging a particle beam...

"I have to deflect this..."

I angled my Vajra to deflect the laser directly into the sky. I shouldn't risk destroying Seymour's base.

Once more a huge number of mini eyeballs start charging towards me. Since I need to keep the angle upwards I had to use some magic...

"Frozen bullet!"

I summoned hundreds of ice fragments, and launched them everywhere to defend myself.

The cycle repeats, the giant eye starts charging once more and I started jumping tower by tower once more...

Since this cycle might bore me down, I summoned a wall of ice and pushed it using wind magic...

I then summoned more frozen bullets and fired each and every single one them...

The wall instantly shatters as it hits the gigantic eye... The frozen bullets hit followed up from behind which caused the monster to bleed more...

I summoned four ice spikes and stuck them to the floor... I touched the spike in front of me and channeled lightning magic.

Basically, an overpowered charged cannon... except that it has a huge opening for players...

"Am I done here?"

The giant eye stops moving... but after a short time it starts spinning in a fast manner. After stopping, a large part of the eye drops and now it shows a giant mouth with large and sharp teeth.

It starts dashing towards me once more, but with a fleeting speed this time...

"Huh? A second form?"

I had to dash faster this time...

I prowled my way to the next tower and summoned a giant ice wall once again...

I fired more frozen bullets than before...

Some entered the mouth and damaged the giant monster...

But the rest was completely deflected to all directions...

"You've got to be kidding!"

The eyeba- er... monster starts dashing faster... is it going berserk?

I prowled my way to another tower and repeated the process...

The monster slows down. I guess he has to recover a bit of energy before going berserk... Anyways, this is a chance...

I summoned a giant ice javelin and hurled it towards the monster's mouth...

But the monster closed its mouth...

"No way..."

I ended up getting shocked and impressed for the realistic changes of how they made this boss a lot scarier than it looks.

Then let's get serious...

"Darkened State!"

With the very low mana I have I won't make it...

But, I don't think that this is the last of my powers...

"Bleeding Crown!"

Even with the book of death, I do not have enough mana for the darkened state... So I'm supplying my mana with health which is currently half-full...

But I also have a final bonus...

I took out a small bottle filled with the Rushdown Pills given to my by Seymour... It may be a small bottle but it contains an endless amount of pills that will buff me up double for the first five minutes but has a severe aftereffect that will half all of my stats for the same amount of time.

"So this guy's speed and dash has almost no opening...

But..."

The monster dashed 'berserkingly' once more...

I ran towards it and slid down as he was about to hit me.

"Got you!"

I tightly held on one of the tentacles from behind the eye...

The speed is annoying... I start to feel some jet lag...

But I ran to one side and stabbed a large ice spike in it...

While resisting the speed I moved to another spot and repeated the process...

After placing all four ice spikes I lost my balance.

I fell off and have to plan once more...

The boss monster started going berserk without stopping.

I desperately dodged and tripped...

"No choice huh."

I clad myself with lightning and fired some lightning directly in front of me, 62° off the ground...

It hit one of the crystals. It ignited the rest and completely paralyzed the giant monster...

The monster only stopped moving at the point where it was half a meter off of eating me alive...

"Phew, Ice spike! Tenrai!"

I used the Japanese translation of the lightning clad which allows me to cast faster...

The Ice spike struck the insides of the monster and the lightning after connecting to the ice spikes, shattered the whole monster into many pieces.

"Haaaah... I'm finally done..."

I lied down and deactivated everything...
