"{Golden Walls of Cosmic Stone}!"

BOOOM!

The Dracolich's breath was barely held by Nepharia's wall of cosmic stone, which glowed with a brown, gold, and azure color. The girl quickly waved her wings, as a huge wave of golden sand engulfed the entire skeletal dragon.

"GRUOOHH!"

The monster gave a loud roar of fury, as it felt the sand rush through every corner of its bone-made body and beginning to have a tight grip on it, its movements became limited, but its magic was still potent.

Several magic circles materialized, as it started firing giant phantom fireballs imbued with corrupted cosmic power and nether, covering its surroundings with seas of soul-eating flames.

At the same time, it especially targeted Nepharia, who had to continuously conjure more and more walls to defend from the incoming attacks, which easily destroyed her defensive spells.

"Dammit! It's not easy to hold this thing tight all while it keeps shooting at me…!"

Nepharia struggled, gritting her teeth. At the same time, her siblings arrived. Caellaeno unleashed a rain of meteors imbued with cursed flames, Dareo created bone-melting tentacles of slimy acidic poison, and Nyphenne released her winds, slicing and cutting through the bones!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As the Dracolich was bombarded with attacks, it quickly began to grow larger, its soul began surging from its body, shaping into a gigantic phantasmal dragon.

Was it trying to leave behind its vessel, perhaps?

"That is not happening! {Holy Spring Domain}!"

FLUOSH!

A domain of water surged out of nowhere, wrapping around the Dracolich and then creating chains of holy spring water that pushed it down back into its bony body.

That was without a doubt my pink-feathered baby girl, Ocypyne! Her magic specialized on healing, buffing, and debuffing, but she could do this now, interesting.

"Now! Solyth! Uryphe! Blast that thing out of orbit!"

Ocypyne and everyone else held the monster while it was, they needed more explosive damage, so they called their best offensive fighters.

"Gotcha! {Cosmic Thunderlight Phoenix's Descent}!" The energetic Solyth charged all the thunder and light into her body, charging a super beam attack and releasing it at once, surging like a golden phoenix made of thunder.

"Then I shall get serious too! {Abyssal Blood Catastrophe}!"

Meanwhile, Uryphe unleashed all of his Blood and Curse elements at once, combining them with his cosmic powers, the vampiric harpy unleashed a gigantic, all-encompassing sphere of red and black color.

Both attacks hit the Dracolich at once, consuming it on a gigantic explosion that rapidly began to disintegrate its entire body.

BOOOMMM!!!

I conjured protective barriers of my Cosmic Domain around the children, protecting them from the huge explosion. I did say I wasn't going to do anything, but I guess I couldn't help it.

"I-I think it's done…" Nepharia sighed in relief. "Thank you for the barriers, mom! I barely had enough cosmic power to conjure anything more…"

"No worries honey~!"

Silence filled in the room as the smoke slowly dissipated, I noticed the other children were watching from the side, they probably didn't want to steal the harpy siblings' prey.

"I think they killed it, right?" Scarlet wondered.

"Yeah, they got this!" Nirah nodded.

I noticed my harpy children approaching the pile of burned bones and ashes, there was a large piece of crystal resting over there, emanating a faint phantasmal presence.

"Huh? What's this- Uwah!"

Solyth was about to touch the stone before a zap of phantasmal energy and nether hit her hands, making her step back in pain, she looked at her hands, they were fine, her thunder created a protective, insulting veil around her barely saving her.

However, something surged from the crystal, it slowly began to turn into a black and blue liquid, growing tentacles as the crystal lifted up from the ground, opening a crimson eye.

"Uhh… Ahhh…! Ugh…! Y-YOU…! YOUUU!"

It started to speak with utter fury, as an enormous quantity of Miasmic Necrotic Nether Essence began emerging from the crystal.

"Solyth, step back!"

Scarlet rushed towards Solyth before a gigantic black tentacle were about to hit her, golden thunder and light surged from the girl's feathers, trying to protect her.

11:43

But the tentacle pierced through it and almost hit her, if it wasn't because a crimson jaw devoured the tentacle, Scarlet went to help her sister.

CRUNCH!

"GUH?!"

The entity screamed in pain, suddenly stepping back, its azure-colored crystal body glowing as it seemed to be going through some sort of pain.

Scarlet quickly grabbed Solyth and dragged her far away to safety, my girl was much better at thinking quickly compared to her siblings.

"Woah, Scarlet! You saved me there, hahaha!" Solyth laughed. "But what just happened?"

"That thing's stronger than the rest, don't underestimate it, everyone!" she said.

"Hmm, maybe something we can take down then!" Nirah said, her giant heads looking at the monstrosity.

"Y-YOUU…! YOU! YOU! YOU! YOUUUU! YOUUUUAAAGGHH!"

It started screaming in agony and pain. Was this seriously just a Dungeon Boss anymore? It seemed much stranger and more dangerous than I imagined.

And then…

[Your party has accomplished the requirements to summon the Hidden Boss]:

[Do not let the Dracolich transform into a Phantom Dragon.]

[Kill the Dracolich before it transforms.]

[Leave the Dracolich's core intact.]

[The Floor 5 Hidden Boss: [Tentacled Grieving Nether Soul Fragment of Outer Death: Yer-bogarr (Star Eater Realm: Tier 5)] has emerged!]

[Yer-bogarr screams in agony over its own existence! Its voice makes anybody that listens to it have their Stats reduced by 20%!]

RUMBLE!

His voice spread out, making the entire Dungeon tremble.

Not only that thing was way too overpowered compared to the rest, but it was Star Eater Realm?!

Also, is that an Outer God?

Or something similar… Is this how they're born? How bizarre. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Can the kids handle such a monster? I know they have overpowered abilities but…

"Let's watch what they can do," said Altani.

"Let's trust the brats!" Lilith told me.

"If push comes to shove, we'll all join to help," Alice nodded.

"Hahah… I guess you really want to test them," I sighed. "Fiiiiine."

"GRAAAAHHH! PAINFUL! AGONIZING! GRIEVING…! IT HURTS…! IT HURTSSSSS! YOUUU! YOU ARE TO BLAMEEEEE!"

The Grieving thing kept… grieving, its entire body finally beginning to take shape.

And it was…
