Hellmode ~A Hardcore Gamer Becomes Peerless in Another World with Retro Game Settings~

The Dragon God Magra as a statue was waiting for them past the door of the 99th floor.

That was the dragon that 10000 years ago was considered the dragon king of the human realm.

Driven by greed, he had tried to conquer the divine realm too, going there with many dragonkin.

But he incurred the wrath of the Gods, and was sealed in stone, and the dragonkin following him were put on the task to hunt ghosts.

(I was wondering where he was hiding. We don't have time though.)

'...'

The Dragon King Matildora stared emotionally at Magra turned to stone.

"..."

Allen was also silent, looking around at his friends.

'What's wrong, are you so afraid you can't move? Hahahah, you'll just be the sacrifice to undo my seal. Tremble even more.'

"Let's go."

'Hm? What happened? That doesn't sound like you're surrendering?'

Even as a statue, Magra skillfully turned his head to listen better.

In response, Allen raised his face with glimmering eyes.

"Let's goooo! This is the final boss! We'll win if we defeat him!!"

'Fwha?!'

Temi had said the end of the 99th floor was past there.

[99th floor, 0:36 left]

'We have to defeat him and win!!'

Allen knew he had to get through to complete the Earth Labyrinth.

He had also seen a large wall behind Magra, with a door adorned with the figure of a dragon, and a keyhole in its mouth.

(So it's the same pattern as the 80th floor. I wonder if we'll get to steal it this time though.)

Magra also had a key tied to his neck, and this time the chain and the key were both made of orichalcum.

Allen's voice reached everyone thanks to the Special Skill of the Bird F.

"Flame Lance!!"

Cecile was the first one to reply, forming countless fire spears that shot out towards Magra.

The fire spears exploded when they came in contact with the statue.

Smoke began to rise, with Magra's face peeking through it.

'D-damn you! Who told you to attack before I finished talking… I won't forgive that rudeness even if you beg at me in despair!!'

'Tam-Tam and the rest also use long range attacks! And aim everything at his head! The frontline will attack the belly area! So try to not hit them!'

'Okay, I'll hit the belly then.'

Luvanka also gave a loud reply.

Allen gave orders with the Bird F summon to everyone, telling them to attack different parts.

They had no time, so rather than trying to coordinate attacks, they would just blast away.

Magra was around 100 meters long, so not as big as Andre, but still pretty large.

The golem pilots, mages, and Matildora attacked the neck and head of Magra.

Matildora had been silent until then, but he started attacking when Magra opened fire too.

(I can't use Appraiser Eyes so I guess he must be God Rank. Are the Great Spirits still healing?)

Allen's mind was working rapidly as he measured Magra's strength.

Kuwatoro's Appraiser Eyes could not Appraise God Rank enemies.

Magra was stronger than Andre, but his stats were not allocated to his Endurance as much, seeing how much damage the group was doing.

Allen turned around to look at the Great Spirits, who looked exhausted.

'*wheeze…wheeze…*'

The Water Great Spirit Tonies was taking deep breaths, like an old man exhausted after a game of croquet. Soon after the Fire Great Spirit Kaka noticed that.

'What's wrong! Tonies, don't let us down now!'

The Fire Great Spirit wearing bikini armor was full of energy as she threw fireballs at Magra.

(I guess this is what happens when I overwork Great Spirits. Though Sophie and Luck look exhausted too, I guess that strategy is too extreme. And it affected Temi too.)

Sophie and Shea were drenched in sweat, staggering on their feet from exhaustion.

They were trying their best to stay awake, but they could no longer control the Great Spirits.

'Sophie and Luck, try to attack Magra too, if you can afford to.'

"Understood!"

"Got it."

Both of them gave energetic replies.

They would focus mostly on healing and defending, letting the rest do most of the attacking.

They still did not know how strong Magra was though.

'Humph! I can feel it from so far away! Growwwwwlll!!'

The statue Magra's throat began to glow red, and then he bent his head back as black smoke came out from his mouth.

'Gyau?! Growwwwwlll!!'

Before Allen could give any orders, Haku was already using his breath, which chilled the air.

The Special Skill [Freezing Hell] collided with Magra's flaming breath.

For a moment Magra raised the temperature of the surroundings, but Haku lowered it again.

'You brat! I'm amazed you got through the Gates of Judgement at such a young age!!'

(I guess he's talking a lot since he was alone for so long.)

Magra kept reacting to every little thing in an exaggerated manner.

'I'll go too.'

Shea activated the Skill [Full Beast Mode] and dashed towards Magra, where she punched his chest. The statue cracked, showing how much damage her attack had dealt.

'Good, our physical attacks are working. Luvanka, you attack too!!'

Allen was sending more people into the frontline.

'Got it! Punch Shower!!'

Luvanka's 3 pairs of arms delivered countless attacks with his 6 fists.

-Luvanka' stats (with buffs)

[Strength] 195013

[Mana] 143390

[Attack] 262470

[Endurance] 166708

[Agility] 201500

[Intelligence] 254020

[Luck] 178490

Many pieces of stone shattered off from the statue's stomach.

'Hm, I can see how you got this far in the Earth Labyrinth. I've never felt such strong attacks even before I got sealed here.'

The Special Skill [Punch Shower] delivered many light attacks at Magra, chipping away his Strength.

Magra also commented on the S Rank summon's attacks, but no one paid him attention.

'You only have 30 minutes left.'

The mini-sculpture's eyes began to glow red, telling them there was not much time left.

[99th floor, 0:29 left]

They had passed the 30 minute mark.

Magra had high Endurance and Strength, so it would take too long to turn all of the statue to dust like this.

And then something happened just as Allen thought that.

"Hmph!"

When Luvanka shattered some rocks and created a cloud of debris, a four legged beast dashed through it and began climbing Magra's neck.

Shea had waited for Luvanka's attack to be over before dashing towards the main objective.

The orichalcum key of the 99th floor hung from an orichalcum chain.

Shea caught the chain with her claws and tried to tear it apart.

There was a creaking sound as she pulled on the chain while keeping her feet on Magra's neck.

Her feet began to tremble and many of her claws broke apart.

Her hands became bloody and she began to scream as her back muscles became overworked, but she did not stop.

'Growrrrr!!!'

The orichalcum chain stretched out, but even though it was not very thick, she alone was not strong enough to break it.

Shea screamed loudly, exerting her body so much she was nearly tearing her own arms apart.

But even with more than 100000 Attack from all the buffs, Shea could not break the orichalcum chain.

"Hey, look at Shea!!"

Cecile yelled behind Allen, noticing that Magra's eyes were looking at Shea.

'Do you know whose neck you're crawling on! You insect!!'

'Ghah?!'

Magra's front leg caught Shea and threw her high into the air.

But that was not the end of his attacks.

As Shea flew up in pain, she saw Magra's throat glowing red.

'Get out of my sight! Grooooowrrrrrr!!'

Magra was trying to burn away Shea with his breath from point blank.

'Hurgh! I'll protect you!!'

But Luvanka, who had also been fighting from close range with Shea, was already jumping up.

He turned his back to Magra and enveloped Shea in his 6 arms, then stiffened all the muscles in his body, even making his fur stand up.

After he covered Shea, Magra's extremely hot breath hit them.

Luvanka fell to the ground like a burning ball.

"Luvanka!"

'I…I'm fine…'

Luvanka's Special Skill [Absolute Defense] had blocked most of the damage, though he was not unscathed either. At least there were others who could take care of the wounded.

"All Heal!"

"All Heal!"

The gem on the end of the staves of the Venerables Tabatha and Ingrissa began to glow, and all the wounds on Luvanka and Shea healed completely.

Everyone had enough experience fighting to instantly know how to deal with any situation.

'How impertinent! Hmph!'

'Ghuh! Shea, get away!!'

Magra swung a leg at them, putting his whole body weight into the attack, and Luvanka blocked with his 6 pairs of arms, a crater forming under his feet.

"Luvanka!!"

'Don't worry about me. Get away from here! Graawrrr!!'

Luvanka was taking all the attacks to protect Shea.

Seeing that Shea hesitated for a bit, but eventually ran away. A moment later, Magra's terrifying leg crushed Luvanka into the floor.

Luvanka's scream gradually became inaudible.

"
