BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66 Dragon Slayer
Around Rita, there were a dozen of floating basketball-sized spheres of pure malice and negative energy she drained from the boss, which she was going to use against the weakened snake that my titan spirit manage to damage.
But she\'s low level, can she even do any damage even with many attacks? Well, that\'s why I decided to conjure various buffing spells on her. I didn\'t know if they could work, but they costed all of my remaining mana, so they better do!
"Accelerated Growth! Geomancy! Blessing of the Spirits!"
FLAAAASH!
Rita\'s eyes flashed with bright red light, as the power of Accelerated Growth and Geomancy enhanced the strength of her magic stats. Geomancy is a permanent buff that remains active indefinitely, it enhances all magic-related stats by a small amount, so its pretty good! But alongside that, I also conjured Blessing of the Spirits, which usually can be conjured over Players or spirits.
For spirits, it makes them even stronger, and for players, it enhances the power of all their spirits directly. I didn\'t knew if this could be effective, but I gave it a go.
And well, what happened was… insane.
It seemed as if my power to call spirits merged with Rita\'s Dark Spirit affinity. Dozens of Dark Spirits emerged one after another, resembling large red eyeballs with bat-like wings flying around her in a swarm, and merging with her Orbs of Malice, enhancing their power substantially!
"Now, Rita!" I said, cheering her up, as Rita smiled rather maliciously.
"Heh, about time! Dark Beam!!!"
FLAAAAAASH!
All of the Orbs of Malice began to rotate around her as they fired enormous beams against the Lake Snake, who attempted to evade them, but didn\'t manage because it was too slow. The beams began hitting his body one by one, leaving enormous and deep wounds, all while Loki used her vines and her spray to weaken it by poisoning the creature, while Belle attacked the snake with her horns in berserk charges. Meanwhile, the snake began to fire water bullets at us, and I defended using Wood Shield, shaping some of the Wood Shields into Wood Spears and firing them into the snake\'s weak points!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"GRYYYSSSHHAAAAA!!!"
"I-I can\'t believe it! You\'re actually doing it?!" Asked the guide in surprise.
"Of course! Don\'t underestimate us!" I said.
"Come on, come on, come on!" Roared Rita, as I feed her bottles with spring water, quickly recovering her Mana, just as I did the same, continuously conjuring our magic, as the Lake Snake hopelessly began to grow slower and filled with more wounds, until…!
"Gryyshaaaa…!"
BOOM!
The enormous beast, defeated, fell into the floor, and didn\'t moved from there anymore! The enormous creature quickly began to dissipate into particles of light resembling pixels, until the very last one.

Wow sweet, I even gained a new Title Skill from all things, so nice! With this, I am officially a Dragon Slayer! …Though the one-shot Boss Title is still better overall.
"W-Woah, we did it." Said Rita. "My Level increased like crazy too! Killing high level monsters is really nice!" Rita laughed, as I saw her Status, I noticed she went all the way up to Level… 7?! Wow…
"I\'ll equip this Dragon Slayer title too, it looks pretty strong, hehe, with this my stats are even higher!" She laughed.
"Y-Yeah… Now that I think about it… Aren\'t we nude?" I wondered.
"O-Oh…"
"We fought the entire time completely naked…"
"Hahaha!"
Rita couldn\'t help but laugh at our situation, as we quickly decided to dry up our bodies with some cloths I had already packed inside my inventory from the Squirrel-kins. And then, we decided what to do next.
"I am kind of hungry right now, the Satiation meter is going down like crazy, we really overexeded ourselves there." Said Rita.
"And there\'s the last boss waiting for us yet- Huh?" I wondered.
"What?"
"Look!"
I pointed my finger at something floating over the lake, it was behind a big crystal, so we didn\'t noticed until it swam all the way here due to the force of the waterfall pulling it towards here. But wasn\'t this… wasn\'t this a giant treasure chest?
"A treasure chest! Did the giant snake dropped it?" Asked Rita.
"Yeah! Let\'s pick it up!" I said, rushing to pick the treasure chest, and carrying it to the surface.
In this world, monsters won\'t drop equipment, but treasure chests are different, although they\'re considered lower quality in late game, items from treasure chests are pretty useful in early game… the thing is, dungeons are a rare find in such a big world, so most people just tend to buy equipment from crafting players that use normal monster materials to make items.
But this beautiful treasure chest… does it contain another item that could help out?
As we opened the treasure chest, I couldn\'t help but smile happily at what we found, while Rita made a disgusted face.
"Ugh, another… mushroom item thing."
"So cute! It\'s a bracelet, Rita!"
