The battle with the monsters on the top of the metal lumps had taken a lot of time, but we had finally almost reached our destination. Yet in the way was a large obstacle. It was a local field boss. He was waiting for us on a huge block of metal, right in front of the spiral volcano.
Dungeon boss called [Taurus Demon Lord "Adada"]
It was a 7 meter demonic version of the Minotaur. The major differences were the huge black bat wings on his back and the ominous looking armor which he was wearing. Instead of the usual axes, he was armed with a huge black scythe.
Of course there were differences in the details. Covering his whole body were black and red bristles, which would probably injure us if we touched them.
Between the two horns on his forehead was a third golden eye, which was superimposed on the enemy, giving a variety of negative statuses such as [Demonic Eye].
I had [Demonic Gaze Immunity] and Kagami-chan and Kanami also possessed [Demonic Eyes]. But the others wouldn't be able to fight him head-on quite so easily.
ED: can't find Rou's ability in the list, maybe Complete Evil Eye Resistance or Nullify Negative Status Effects?
The [Taurus Demon Lord "Adada"] aimed a black substance from his mouth as us while waving his scythe. Black fire erupted onto the ground and he smashed his scythe downwards. Amazingly, it turned into a black tornado which quickly approached us.
[Dungeon Boss [Taurus Demon Lord "Adada"] successfully defeated]
[As a bonus for the first elimination of the boss will be sent a box of treasure [The Monument Flaming Demon Cows]].
It had been an extremely difficult battle, but we had won in the end.
[Taurus Demon Lord "Adada"], out of all the monsters that we met here was undoubtedly the strongest. Despite his appearance, he was very nimble and covered in shadow, making it difficult to see him. He also moved 3 times faster than what we had thought.
His incredible strength was enough to counter the defence of Minokichi-kun. And while he was very strong in close combat, he also used a black substance which had a [Cursing] effect.
Those touching it immediately fell under some negative status, which was active for a long time. It was sticky like musk and hard to remove. Protection from it was quite difficult, so even owners of [Resistance] could not relax. It also caused excruciating pain to its victims. I had experienced it once, and I was not so eager to do so again. [ED: Is it just me or does this sound nasty~~]
Those were his strengths, so I basically had to take him on by myself while covering the rest.
If that wasn't enough, [Taurus Demon Lord "Adada"] also had the ability to summon other demons.
If I did not have [Greater Summoning: Demonkin], we would have been overwhelmed with crowds of [Taurus Demons].
A few dozen wouldn't be difficult to deal with, but several hundred would be nearly impossible.
Nonetheless, we defeated the [Taurus Demon Lord "Adada"], and safely reached the entrance to the spiral volcano.
It didn't seem wise to continue with such injuries and fatigue, as it would make going further much more difficult. I had already collected some new trophies for my item box, so it was decided to spend the night in front of the gate.
There was certainly a chance that we would get attacked by very strong monsters, but the intervals between attacks were less here. Thankfully, we could rest and recover.
We had [Taurus Demon Lord "Adada"] and [Taurus Demons] for dinner, and went to bed early in preparation for tomorrow.
