Chapter 277

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

I aimed the pointed part of the fang in my hand towards the behemoth and infused my magic power and vitality into it. 

Accompanied by a vibrating sound, the fang started emitting faint light. The converged light transformed into a beam cannon and I fired it at the behemoth. At the same time, noticing my presence, the behemoth went into his breath attack motion and unleashed Dragon Monster’s Breath attack.

Two beam cannons collided, engaging in a standoff in the middle. 

I was about to get blown away from the intensity of the energy when Gozz-san came to support my back with his shield. 

Eventually, two light beams swelled, causing a massive explosion. 

Right at that moment, Gozz-san used his skill, ‘Substitution’ that allowed him to switch positions with me. Additionally, he also evoked another skill, ‘Shield of One Life’, a high level shield skill that allowed its caster to endure any attack with only 1 HP remaining, also protecting the allies behind the caster. Thanks to the activation of those two skills, Gozz-san was able to ensure our safety. 

Gozz-san and I got blown to the back along with the shockwave. 

『Individual Name: Keigo Okuda has acquired Physical Impact Resistance Level 4.』

Mizuchi-san immediately rushed over and cast healing magic on us. 

After unleashing its breath attack, the behemoth had entered its cooldown period. Making use of this precious timegate, White-san, the wizard, cast ‘Firewall’, a 3 layers barrier magic of fire, between us and the behemoth. Then without wasting any second, White-san cast lightning magic, ‘Thunder Spear’, aiming it directly at the behemoth’s nose. 

‘Thunder Spear’ successfully hit the tip of the behemoth’s nose but the behemoth wasn’t even the least fazed. He acted as if a fly had landed on its nose. 

However, the behemoth seemed to be displeased nonetheless. The dragon widened its eyes, glaring at White-san. 

“Ahi-!~ 〇××!!!　▽〇◇×××!!!”

White-san squeaked, letting out a strange sounding cry and suddenly turned into stone while he was stuck in a strange stance. He looked like those dancers during the ‘Awa Odori’ festival. 

“It’s the dragon’s eyes! Don’t look at its eyes!!” 

I shouted and immediately turned my gaze downwards. 

『Individual Name: Keigo Okuda has acquired Petrification Resistance Level 5, Fear Resistance Level 3, Confusion Resistance Level 1.』

Just from that split second of contact I acquired all those skills?

I slowly lost the sensation in my fingertips and my chest felt tight and painful. Realizing I had no time to spare, I immediately drank a bottle of paruna detoxifying potion to recover from status abnormalities.
