a charge attack…

“Hatake, Petta…I’ll share the information with you.”

You could share information from Letter Arrow with other party members.
Now, how would we fight, since there was no clear advance guard in this party…

“I guess I’ll just attack.”

After receiving buffs from Hatake, Garbow and I switched to attacking.
This Gold Mummy had the spirit and rock attributes.
In other words, Drill Arrow and Holy Splash would be effective.

Kiriri…shu!

The rotating arrow and holy water bullet shot towards the mummy.
The bandages unraveled from the mummy’s arms, and it swung them like whips, knocking my attacks out of the air.
I see.
There was no point in being effective if they couldn’t even reach it…

“Break Melody!”

BUOOOOOO!!

She had blown so hard that the sound that resulted was horrible.
However, Petta seemed to have finally found her groove.
You could not block an attack you couldn’t see.
Even his bandages wouldn’t help now.
However, as Petta had said previously, the cost of ignoring an enemy’s defense was very low power.

And since this was a boss, it’s HP gauge barely went down.

“Then how about a different sound! Burn Melody!”

She sounded even worse than before.
And the thing that was unleashed…was a musical note.
Those symbols that look like tadpoles.
And the black round part was blinking red like some kind of bomb.

“Most of Petta’s sound skills are like this… You can ‘see’ the sound! It’s only Break Melody and normal attacks that are special!”

Mister Hatake explained.
You could see the sound…huh.
Well, at this point, it was just a normal ranged weapon then.

“While these sounds can be seen, they still have features that are unique to ‘sound.’”

After being unleashed, the musical note moved quickly.
Even the agile Gold Mummy was unable to dodge it.
And this time, it carved a chunk out of the HP gauge.

“Not quite…the speed of sound, but it’s one of the faster ranged weapons.
Besides, ‘sound’ echoes! This skill doesn’t ignore an enemy’s defenses, but it can ignore the defense stats of equipment.
Because it echoes on the inside!”

While Break Melody ignored all defenses, Burn Melody ignored defenses of equipment and dealt damage.
Though the Gold Mummy was wrapped in tough-looking gold bandages, it was a mummy inside.
And so no matter how big it was, it should easily crumble.
And so being able to have your attack echo inside of it would do a lot of damage.

It really was interesting to watch other players fight.
Everyone had their own style and ideals.
…But there was no time to get distracted.
The Gold Mummy started to create small mummies,

“U-um… Should there really be this many?”

There were dozens of them now.
And they all attacked us at once.
It was like a scene out of a monster movie…

“Bow Shower!”

I used a rain of arrows to decrease their number.
As they were not bound in gold bandages, they were easy to kill.
However, it seemed that they would continue to spawn until you killed the actual boss.
Perhaps I should lure the small mummies away, and then use Warp Arrow to get behind the Gold Mummy and then ambush it with Sky Tear…

“Warp Arrow!”

“Full Enhance!”

“Sky Tear!”

…Something was sandwiched in between my skill combo.

“Ah, you shouldn’t have warped! That just wasted my most powerful buff!”

Apparently, Hatake had cast Full Enhance on me, but as I had warped out of his range, it had been cast on himself instead.
Now that I thought about it, he had used Full Enhance on me once before.
And he had said that it could only be used once a day.
In exchange, it enhanced all kinds of stats, making it a very powerful buff.
But it didn’t last very long…

“Well, if it’s on me, then I might as well use it.
I’ll deal the final blow!”

And then Hatake charged at the Gold Mummy.
He was fast…! The buff was working!

“Flag Rush!”

He used the flag like a spear, and stabbed the enemy multiple times.
Even though he was attacking over the golden bandages, the boss’s HP started to drop.
That was how effective the buff was.

Thanks to my Sky Tear, Petta’s Burn Melody, and Garbow, who ignored the small mummies and continued to target the Gold Mummy, it had lost a lot of HP already.
But just as I thought Hatake could end it with his attacks… The Gold Mummy swung its great arm and slammed it into Hatake, sending him flying into the air.
Hatake crashed into the wall.
However, he wasn’t killed.
The buff had raised his defenses too.

And the Gold Mummy’s attention was still directed at him.
If I used this opportunity to shoot at its back…!

“Damage Boost!”

Hatake shouted, and the last of the Gold Mummy’s HP was carved away.
And like that, it vanished, taking the small mummies with it.
What kind of attack was that…

“I did it! I thought it would be a dud, but it was quite useful after all! It’s a special skill that allows you to increase the damage you dealt to an enemy, after the fact.
But I didn’t really understand it.
And so I didn’t use it, knowing that Petta would just laugh at me!”

Was there anything he couldn’t buff…?
I sometimes forgot that he was a 3rd, which meant he was ahead of me.
And I admired his dedication to a single talent.

The only issue was that he didn’t seem to be too aware of it himself.
It was like he wasn’t completely sure how to even use the buffs.
His style relied so much on luck…
Well, in any case, we had cleared the Scorpio Trial.
And so I felt gratitude towards my party.
