Chapter 74: Boss Battle! Against The Akaname Ogre King!
-----
"Visitors~ Welcome to my shrine! Fuhihihihihi~!"
An enormous ogre-like creature with green skin and a long tongue that dripped and acid-like saliva from its tongue emerged from within the shrine corridors, laughing maliciously as it released an Aura of Fear around itself.
Frank and Matsuo immediately conjured their barriers to protect themselves from the powerful pressure, although Matsuo seemed mostly unfazed while wearing a confident smile, Frank gnashed his teeth as he used the combination of Body Aura, Mana Aura, and Gust to put on some defense against the pressure, which his Barrier seemed to not completely protect him from.
Ruby was in front of Frank\'s side, having shapeshifted into her greatest height possible, she released an Aura of fire that converged with Frank\'s, easing the pressure by a bit.
"This thing… is as strong as that Spider? Inspect!"
Frank quickly used the Inspect Skill into the Youkai Boss, who was slowly walking towards the pair.

"Those Skills… it has a natural resistance to both physical and magical damage… atop of that, it has superhuman strength and an advanced form of Aura of Fear… It seems to be capable of wielding dark magic and even produce poison from its tongue and saliva, Matsuo!" said Frank.
"You can see his abilities? That\'s some good information that would be hard to discern out of nowhere… Alright, let me distract him for you," said Matsuo, as he pointed his finger towards the monster.
"Light Ray!" said Matsuo, releasing rays of light towards the monster at a fast speed.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
"Light…! What a pest!" roared the monster, as it raised its arms and conjured a Dark Magic spell without chanting it at all, generating a sphere of darkness and throwing it towards Matsuo\'s Light Rays, slightly dissipating them.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, Matsuo kept firing small rays of light while running around the monster, while evading the strong pressure.
"Alright! Ruby let\'s go!" said Frank, as he rushed towards the monster while using that slight distraction generated by Matsuo.
Frank concentrated his mind within his Mana Aura, as he began to shape the Mana through Mana Control into sharp spears of semi-transparent essence.
"Flying Mana Spears!" said Frank, releasing three Mana Spears around the creature, as it roared angrily.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Although Frank\'s magic was strong, the Ogre possessed a decent amount of Resistance, coupled with a big amount of Health Points and also the resistance to magic damage made it capable of easily receiving several magic attacks at the same time without lowering its HP that much.
"You damned human, you\'re clearly not a good visitor! Death is everything that awaits you! Gyahahahaha!" laughed the ogre, raising its log-like arms as it defended itself from Frank\'s attacks, charging towards him with great speed by enveloping itself on its own Aura!
"Tongue Whip! Ogre\'s Punch!" it roared, as its long tongue began to unleash dozens of whipping attacks over Frank\'s Mana Barrier, while his fists were enveloped on his Aura, unleashing power fist attacks!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Frank gnashed his teeth as he resisted the attacks through his Mana Barrier, with each attack, his Mana was drained greatly, but he managed to keep up with his Mana Regeneration, although the hits absorbed way more Mana than before, he needed to quickly make up some space from the ogre or his Mana would not be able to keep up with the regeneration while he conjured Spells and also resisted the Ogre\'s attack.
"My current Strength is around 73… not enough to put a dent on this monster\'s defenses… but my Magic is over one hundred… as long as I keep attacking him, I should be capable of killing it! But I first need some distance from it! Ruby, Bite!" said Frank, as Ruby suddenly jumped from beneath the Ogre\'s back, roaring as she bit its left arm!
"GRRAAAWR!"
Crunch!
"Nnnghh?! Unngyaaaahhh! Get off me, you lizard!" roared the ogre, as it pointed its fits towards Ruby!
"Grawr!"
Ruby quickly let go of her bite as she jumped into the floor, inhaling air as she began to charge flames!
FLASH!
The flames generated from Ruby\'s Fire Breath emerged from her jaws, reaching the Ogre\'s skin as it began to slowly burn it down!
"It burns! Gyaaaaah!"
Due to Ruby\'s breath not being a magic spell nor a physical attack, they seemed to completely ignore the monster\'s resistances!
"What with that yell? I got some gifts for you! Light Ray!" said Matsuo, unleashing rays of light towards the Ogre\'s back and arms, distracting it with the impactful pain although the damage was reduced as he wasn\'t going completely serious, mostly to nurture Frank in some real combat without making it all easy for him.
"An opening!" said Frank, opening some distance from the Ogre as he began to immediately charge large quantities of Mana within the tip of his spear/staff, a spiraling mass of transparent and pure manage began to generate, which grew at bigger and bigger sizes!
"Try to fend off this one!" said Frank with a slight smile, pointing the staff towards the Ogre as it flew at a fast speed!
Flash!
The ogre realized the immense amount of Mana being directed towards it as it released a whipping attack with its tongue dripped with poison, fending off Matsuo and Ruby from his vicinity while trying to evade Frank\'s spell!
"Did you really think that it is that easy to evade my magic? Mana Control!" said Frank, using Mana Control to control his own spell, which was already fired from his staff, moving it towards the side of the ogre, as if it were a tracking missile!
"Dark Cannon!" roared the ogre, as a magic circle emerged from its right shoulder, firing a cannon of dark magic that impacted Frank\'s attack!
BOOM!
A large curtain of magic smoke filled the environment, as the ogre released a confident chuckle.
Frank, however, had already moved near the Ogre yet again!
But why?
Didn\'t he sad he wanted to make some space?
However, surprisingly, the Ogre was not capable of feeling his presence!
Frank\'s appearance emerged from the clouds as his face was covered in a spider-shaped black mask.
"Spider Threads, Mana Threads, Body Aura, Bind!" said Frank, as spider threads emerged from his fingers, reinforced constantly by his Mana, and Body Aura!
"By combining my Body Aura into my Mana Threads and Spider Threads, I discovered that the endurance and strength that I can exert into my threads can increase exponentially! As long as the threads are connected to my body, I am capable of transferring the Body Aura into them!" thought Frank, as the threads caught the enormous Ogre by surprise, coming seemingly out of nowhere, they quickly wrapped around him like vicious snakes.
"Ungh…?! W-What the?! Agggh!"
"Bind! Bind! Bind! Bind!"
Frank kept conjuring Bind as the Ogre\'s strength was barely being contained by his reinforced threads, even his tongue was being tightly wrapped, and due to the Body Aura infused into the threads, the corrosive poison wasn\'t capable of completely melt the threads, which were as hard as steel now!
"UNNGH…! T-These measly tricks will not work… Dark Bullet! …Huh?!"
"Ran out of Mana?" asked Frank with a slight smile, as the Ogre suddenly felt a strange presence within one of Frank\'s hands, which was slowly draining his Mana away, Ginseng!
"Ruby, help me out! Great Spinning Mana Bullet," said Frank nonchalantly, as he created a simple and new spell by creating a bigger Spinning Mana Bullet, Ruby came to assistance, as she added her fire into the spell, which quickly transformed it into a sphere of spinning flames!
Flash!
Frank pointed his palm towards the Ogre, as the blazing sphere fell right into its face!
"Game over,"
Boom!
"NNNGGGUUUOOH…!"
The spell began to convulse around the Ogre\'s face and tongue, as the tongue began to tear apart, seemingly as if it had entered some kind of tornado filled with slicing winds, meanwhile, the flames roasted the Ogre\'s flesh! Frank\'s threads were burning too, but it was already too late for the Ogre, its entire body as set ablaze!
"Oh, did I mention that I added Gust into it?"
"UNGGYYYAAA!"
The Ogre cried in agony as its entire face and torso were torn apart by the fluctuating forces and the undying flames, exploding into black smoke!
BOOM!
