Big didn't really describe the white-haired giant that fell from the ceiling well enough. Godou had fought monsters, Divine Beasts, and even Demons before, and the entity before him could have given them a run for their money size-wise.
It was tall enough to match the ancient Mesopotamian God-King Melqart, who Godou had last seen wading through the sea like he was an adult in a kiddie pool.
It towered over the tallest trees, barring the giant one in the center of course, but there probably wasn't a single place on the whole Floor where nobody could miss its looming form protruding out of the canopy.
And to make things better, Godou was about ninety-nine percent sure it had spawned because of him.
"Finn," he whispered to the adventurer next to him. "It's looking right at me, isn't it?"
"Yes," the Pallum replied, slowly taking a few steps away. The monster's glowing red eyes was still focused on him.
"You seem quite calm about this," Godou said. "Are giant falling monsters a normal routine on this floor?"
"No." Finn shook his head. "I'm just as surprised as you are. I've never actually seen a black version of a monster before, much less one of a Floor Boss."
"Floor Boss?" Godou looked at the hulking giant of a monster. "You mean this is a Goliath?"
"It's a black version of one. It's bigger. And probably stronger, too. I don't think the people of Rivira will be able to defeat it under normal circumstances."
"That's comforting to know."
'So, what's the game plan?' His partner nudged him mentally. 'We going to take it down in one hit or what?'
"I don't think it's as strong as a Udaeus, the Monster Rex on the Thirty-Seventh Floor, so my Familia should be able to handle it just fine," Finn said, lifting his spear up and preparing to throw it.
For a moment, Godou was tempted to let him do just that. But...the Black Goliath was his mess, and he wasn't going to let other people clean up after him.
"Don't worry, Finn. He's after me. I'll kill it."
The Pallum blinked. Slowly, he put down his spear. "It's an unspoken rule that adventurers do not go for another person's target. That means that unless you specifically ask for our help, my Familia will not assist you, do you understand?"
Godou looked around, where the rest of the Loki Familia had gathered near Finn. There was Riveria, carrying an injured Aiz, as well as another Elf wielding a staff and looking at him worriedly. The Amazoness sisters were missing, still wiping out the remnants of the original invasion. He nodded. "I like to keep my fights to myself."
"Normally, Boss Raids are done in parties, regardless of Level. There are many things that can go wrong. This is an unwise course of action," Riveria said with a tone of disapproval.
Godou would have replied, but the roar of the Goliath marked the start of the fight. The sheer force behind the roar rocked the trees and the elf with the chestnut-colored hair covered her ears frightfully.
He stuffed his hands into his pockets and started walking towards the hulking beast. "Help me clear the area and make sure nobody else gets hurt."
Finn nodded before he leaped away, his Familia in tow.
The Goliath opened its mouth, then it roared again. The near-invisible shockwave emanating from its mouth warned him of the impending attack.
Godou's eyes widened as he felt the air pressure shift. This wasn't just a normal roar. The Raptor activated by itself, and he saw the bullet of compressed air speeding towards him in slow motion.
It would have been impossible for an ordinary human to dodge an attack that fast, but with godspeed, Godou dashed away from it.
When he judged himself to be a safe distance away, he deactivated the Authority.
The sonic attack hit the ground with the force of a small meteor, decimating the trees nearby and leaving behind a small crater.
He could feel the excitement building up within the obsidian blade he held.
'I have to admit, I was quite disappointed when I learned that the gods here can't fight. But after seeing this...I believe we should start coming to the Dungeon more.'
Godou's lips twitched into a small grin. A small part of him, the one that was itching to launch an attack right away, agreed. But seeing the smoke billowing out of the town nearby, Godou immediately suppressed the urge. He had to get the Goliath away from the people first.
He needed something that could draw the attention of the Goliath, and he had just the thing.
'Godou. Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean...you do know we're in an enclosed space right?'
It was going to be fine. There was nothing behind the Goliath but the lake. And unlike before, he could banish it now, preventing it from causing too much collateral damage.
"As the king commands, punish the sinners!"
He could feel the power beginning pool in the air above him and his knees began to buckle under the invisible weight.
"Shatter his back, pull out his bones, his hair, his brains!"
Dark wisps began began to swirl out from the ground, dancing an enchanting dance as they coagulated into a writhing form that seemed to double in size with every passing second.
"Punish him for breaking the contract!"
The tusks were the first things to be given corporeal form, giant ivory-white spikes that extended way past its body. Then its hooves. Then its fiery mane. Red beady eyes honed in on the only thing it could identify as its target. Ignited breaths were expelled out of its snout as its body, as big as the Goliath itself, grew a coat of flames, signifying the completion of its birth.
"Go, mighty Boar! Ravage the foe!"
The weight of the Boar was still pressing on him, and Godou could feel his feet sinking into the soil. Taking a deep breath, he let out a yell of exertion as he heaved the Divine Beast towards the Goliath. Century-old trees, taller than buildings, were flattened like blades of grass as the Boar rampaged through with a speed that seemed impossible for such a gargantuan swine.
The small hint of surprise on the Goliath's face was all the reaction it could make before the Boar slammed into it with enough force to sound like a bomb had gone off. The crunching noise of bones breaking and the sight of bloody tusks ripping straight through the Goliath's torso brought a smile to Godou's face. The Goliath let out a roar of pain as it was swept off its feet.
'Ouch.' Even the sword in his hands seemed to recoil.
Impaled on the galloping Boar's snout, the Black Goliath desperately to free itself. The ground trembled with the giant Boar's gait, and a trail of scorched earth was left in its wake. Hands the size of a small house tried to swat the Boar into submission, but they immediately shirked away upon touching the inferno-coated hide of the Divi
ne Beast. The Boar screeched to a halt in front of the lake and swung its head hard.
