After I annihilate hundred and more of the Ogre... The one Ogre left is of course, the Boss... The Flame Emperor himself...
"Hmmmmph..."
He let out a disappointed breath and smokes comes out from his mouth... He stand up and then grab his sword out... His sword is a really slick sword. Not as big as normal sword. It's the type of sword that is more to a cutting sword. It won't do you any good if you try to block attack with it...
"Be careful Taiga... That sword has some fire enhancing magic in it... If you were to get hit by that... You will have a severe third degree burn..."
"Okay Uni. Thanks for the heads up."
Not that I didn't notice though... The sword strangely has this fire aura around it... So I think it will enhance your fire based attack... And since I'm up against the Flame Emperor... I can't afford to get hit by the fire...
But it doesn't matter... If I can hold on from the pain... I can continuously regenerate... That's what my Insatiable Hunger is here for... That skill wants me to go mad at an opponent and kill it even if I'm hurt...
An Unquenchable Thirst also get buffed when I want to fight something... Since this is a boss... Apex Predator will be useful against it... And also, I hope I do get some double loot from this...
I don't know how much double Loot I got from the Ogre... I didn't check. Because Uni told me to not bother with it. Since its the job of the porters... They would lose their job if I also grab their job... So, I don't check it...
Anyway... The Flame Emperor... He's the same size as me... So, I don't think I can't use his size as an excuse if I get hurt...
I need to be careful... Fortunately... The Fifth Form is a perfect counter for a monster that want to continuously attack...
"Fuuh..."
I take a deep breath and once again, take my stance... The Flame Emperor disappear immediately... But he's not too discreet about it... I can feel the Flaming Aura trace... I know where he's heading...
Beside me... I feel the blade is entering my range... My absolute Range... This is why I'm so comfortable using my body as a weapon rather than using anything else...
His blade is burning bright... But I didn't even back away... Instead... I read the course perfectly... I lean to the side and dodge the blade... And then, He blinked... The moment that happened... I circle back around him.
He notices that and immediately turn around... He continuously slash his sword toward me... The blazing attack almost hit me every single time he swing it...
I've read all of his attack perfectly. I'm confident to do it...
Fifth Style: Courageous Stream.
I continuously deflect his hand away from my body... Every single time I deflect his attack... His flame died... It's because Courageous Stream is a water element counter move...
It's because your counter continuously parry enemy attack like a constant stream of water... I physically cut off his magic source by parrying his attack. And now... It's the part where you overwhelm your opponent using your Courageous Stream by continuously palming him all over.
First of all, I disarmed the Flame Emperor by slapping his hand. Cutting his flow of power... And then... I continuously attack him all over his body... He doesn't have a chance to recover. Because me attack is constantly streaming...
It's fast and precise... Hitting all of his vital area... And then, after he screams in agony... I compacted all of the energy that's been constantly flowing... I palm him square on his chest.
A massive water burst shoots out from his back... He got thrown away. Far away from the area where we fought... He seems like he pass out... But he still stand up with white eyes. No pupils can be detected.
I grab his sword and then I can feel the strong Flame Aura is making my Fire Magic stronger...
"Uni. Can I finish him off?"
"Of course you can. I've seen enough. It's beautiful, the way you fight... And I think, I never seen anyone fought so beautifully. It's calculated and precise... Good job. You're worth all the money I spend on you."
"Hehe~ Thank you Uni. Hearing that from you really boost my confident!"
I walk over toward the Flame Emperor and then we face off once again... I let him get one hit on me... He just put his palm in front of me and then muttered... And then, A massive fire storm hit me...
"T-Taiga?! What are you doing!!!"
Uni panicked and then try to jump into the fight... But quickly... She realize what's happening... The flame disappears and I'm standing there unscathed.
"That's pretty good, Flame Emperor... But let me show you... What Flame should really look like!"
I pour all of my energy straight to the Sword... Flame sparks out... It's a normal flame... But, slowly but surely... The flame turn blue...
"T-That flame... It's a blue flame! You can do that?!"
Uni were impressed once again. She's the type of person that really like to see new and impressive thing huh... Well.
"Thanks to this sword. I can do it with ease!"
I raise the sword up and then swing it diagonally down.
Second Style: Glorious Blaze.
Blue Flame Wheel cut the Flame Emperor Down without any much fight... The body falls down... The black and burned body leave nothing that can be seen as Flame Emperor. He was properly grilled by my attack...
"With that... My first official Raid... Is completed."
Uni clapped her hands and then walk over toward me... She put her hand on my shoulder and then tap it a couple of times...
"Ummm... What is it, Uni?"
"That's some good fight. I recorded your fight from the start... And I will edit this and turn it into a massive hit on the internet."
"... Do what you want Uni. I'm your property after all."
"Don't say it like that. You're making it weird. You're a property of the guild that is a bit lower than me. Okay?"
"Ah. You're right... It does seems weird... Anyway Uni, There should be another sword dropped from the Flame Emperor. You want to take it?"
"Eh?"
Insatiable Hunger double the loot that the monster drop... And I've taken the first sword... So it's normal for the second sword to appear when Insatiable Hunger got activated...
"Aah. You're right... Can I take it?"
"Sure Uni. Just think of it as my token of appreciation. I will keep the other one and give it to my family or something."
"Uwaah! Thank you Taiga! You're such a good boy!"
Uni hug me and I awkwardly let her hug me... She's too strong... I feel my back cracking...
"Now that the dungeon is finished. Let's come back out and revert back to your original form."
Ah... She's right... So I turn back to normal form and walk back out of the Gate... First ever raid... Seems pretty good... I didn't get hurt or anything... So it's a win in my book.
