After the powerful boss monster proved incredibly resilient—even capable of negating my own elements, especially fire—I realized taking her down would not be easy.
I had wanted to fight alone this entire time, but without spamming all-destructive spells that would collapse the dungeon and defeat the entire purpose of coming here, I had to rely on my familiars.
Tier 9 monsters were manageable, but the higher the Rank within Tier 9, the greater the power gap. As a fresh Tier 9 Rank 1, I was struggling.
If I went completely berserk, I might destroy her, but the mountain would likely explode with her.
I had to learn how to compress my power. Her immense aura of miasma and spiritual energy suppressed my flames completely.
It was the worst possible matchup for me, yet I was not alone. My power was never truly mine alone—my spirits and familiars were my strength, just as I was theirs.
