BXBX NOVEL Chapter 438 The Perilous Errand (V)
Sigma knows that there are not enough Physical DPS players in the group since the only people who qualify for that are Sazan and Mr. Teddy. Hagane is a Paladin that focuses on combat but right now, he is not going to be fighting closely against the enemy at the moment.
Iron is out of the question since he is a pure tank, his weapons are both shields and although it gives decent damage, it is still on the low side of the scale if compared to natural DPS. Sigma\'s Holy Knight is possible to become a DPS but due to how she built the class leaning more on defensive capacity, she is only considered as a pseudo-DPS.
Topaz and Dolly are also DPS characters but due to how their strongest spells are limited to a few uses every minute due to the cooldown and mana, they are also not as reliable as physical DPS players.
Sigma is calculating how to take down the fish as quickly as possible. The damage of Topaz and Dolly is huge but it has a drawback from cooldown and mana consumption and the two defenders can\'t defend enough from the attacks of the fish. The taunt might have helped but it\'s not an alternative to keep the attacks of the fish at bay against the other players and if not for Iron and Hagane, the damage dealt with the players is tremendous.
Bladeheart\'s father quickly delivered a combo punch and kick in quick succession and as he finishes his big combo, he quickly passes the giant fish to Mr. Teddy and he quickly catches the huge body of the fish before giving it a few loud punches that every hit explodes. The damage is not that big but it clearly made the fish struggle in trying to recover its balance. Once the punches of Mr. Teddy are released on the body of the monster, the final attack he did is a huge charged punch before launching the fish in the air.
That attack is a signal for the magicians to take action. But before they did, Bladeheart\'s mother activates one of her skills that will amplify the damage of the magicians.
"[Weakening]!"
Chains appear on the body of the fish and are wrapped around it before disappearing after sinking into its body. It was not a big impact on its own but that doesn\'t mean it\'s not gonna do anything but just that. Once the chains are gone, Topaz and Dolly take action to do the attack.
"Dolly-san!"
"Right you are!"
"[Explode! Electric Chains]!"
The two simultaneously cast the skill and two sets of giant yellow chains appeared from their bodies before it flies toward the fish. It didn\'t wrap up around its body but hovered around it, encircling it and increasing the time it stays in the air. Before it can fall, Topaz and Dolly\'s open palms closed and the chains that hover around the fish wrap themselves out just like how the [Weakening] does but upon contact, the chains didn\'t sink to the body of the fish but remain on its surface.
BZZZZZTTTT!
ROARRRRRR!
The fish that shouldn\'t have roared is forced to roar in pain. It uses its feet or fins or whatever it was to kick away the chains but before it can even kick it, the electricity kicks in much faster to it, and from its struggle, it didn\'t even get to do any attacks. That gives a big breathing point to Hagane who is still sweating in fear.
Sigma walks near the fish and crossed her arms once more before a big cross drops down from the sky, dropping straight to its one leg.
"You are a fish. However, only mudskippers should be capable of walking on the land and staying alive for long periods of time without water. As for you, you are not even a mudskipper, you don\'t even belong to the fish family anymore. Therefore, we will be forcing you to die for our mission to succeed."
The HP of the fish is decreasing as time goes on and it is trying to get away but the chains that are still electrocuting its body plus the giant cross that just fell prevent it from moving.
"I am not going to keep on prolonging your suffering. Die and perhaps you will become a fish again in the future."
Everyone was watching Sigma who is talking to the struggling fish. Then, before they can react, their mouths open wide in shock when Sigma grabs the upper and lower lips before pulling them real hard. The Paladins are already having trouble trying to stop the mouth from clamping down and Sigma is just doing it like nothing.
"Disgusting breath and disgusting teeth. I bet you have eaten quite a lot. But remember from your final moments, meat is not something you will be eating, in fact, you will no longer be eating anymore."
Sigma then activates one of the Holy Knight skills, [Arm of the Heavens].
[Arm of the Heavens]

Not exclusive to using weapons and can be used to fight barehanded for the duration of the skill.

Cooldown: 10 minutes
Note: Nanomachines, son!
In one action, the battle ended. Why? Because the moment Sigma activated the [Arm of Heavens], she decided to use it in a weird way. With her bare hands, she rips off the two upper and lower lips of the fish, tearing along the upper and lower part of its mouth and in the case of this fish, the majority of its head is ripped off. The HP of the boss that is still amounting to around 3 million immediately drops to 2 million to 1 million to zero in just a few split seconds. If there are other players who saw this, they will surely label Sigma as one of the strongest and chad players who does the opposite of the usual gameplay players do to a Holy Knight.
Blood splatters on the snow, drenching it with blood-red color. Sigma then throws away the two parts of the fish\'s body to the side, revealing the blood-red colored gills of the fish. She pulls out her greatsword and slices off the giant gills from the dead body of the fish and retrieving it prompting the completion of the quest.
"Quest complete. Let\'s go back to the cottage and show this to Jun as our trophy for killing off the fish."
Everyone is still too speechless about what happened that they didn\'t get to react with excitement to what happened. The way Sigma rips off the mouth of the fish is just something that they will not forget too soon.
"Looks like you guys are still speechless. However, it doesn\'t matter. Here is for our teamwork and for our cooperation. Everyone, be proud that we have succeeded in our first errand! Raise your head up high proudly!"
She raises the gills up high, signifying her dominance and increasing the morale of everyone in one go.
"Let\'s f*cking GOOOOOOO!!!" Dolly is the first to proudly raise her hands.
Everyone smiled and they also did their cheer.
"Let\'s GOOOOOOOOO!"
...
...
Jun and Jaka who are watching the scenes unfold are also speechless about what happened. It was the first time they have seen the fish so helpless and before they can even comprehend how they managed to do that, the leader leading the small group goes ahead and rips off the life of the monster terrorizing the frozen lake in just a few seconds. She just ended a nightmare in a few movements and live to tell the tale.
Jaka started clapping in amusement and awe after seeing that happen.
"KIK! KIK! KIK! That is the most spectacular show I have seen in my whole life of living in this pure white world of snow. To think some humans are just capable of doing inhuman strength that just doesn\'t give a crap about the superiority of the monster they are facing. Absolutely amazing!"
Jun didn\'t get to speak. He was too sure that the fish would win again but he didn\'t expect the overwhelming win. Not only that, he also saw how confident the girl who rips open its mouth was and didn\'t even falter after being directly splattered in its blood. Not only that but he can also see that the one who did the strategy is none other than her. It might not be a perfect strategy and it might not be just some sort of big brain strategy but that is already enough for him to be amazed.
"That woman, she would change the course of the history of this world with her leadership. Almira, you mad lad, you really have an eye for people who have potential to dominate the world huh?"
