Boa suddenly raises his voice across the house
"Everyone! We'll stall the Boss while the rest of you complete the objectives!"
His aura erupts outward violently, dark red energy spiraling around his body like a storm.
"I'm not going to wait until it leave! We can kill this thing much faster, if we work together!"
Without wasting another second, Boa thrusts his hand forward.
"Multi-Eldritch Blast!"
Hundreds of dark crimson projectiles explode outward from his palm, rapidly firing across the air like a barrage of cursed meteors as they streak directly toward the Owner's face.
The giant Boss reacts instantly, raising one massive hand to shield herself as the Eldritch Blasts continuously detonate against her palm, explosions bursting endlessly while dark energy splashes across her skin.
At the same time, Crank moves, his aura surges upward like a tidal wave.
"Guiding Elephant!"
He throws a devastating punch into the air, and instantly his aura manifests into the shape of a gigantic energy elephant that charges forward with overwhelming force, its spiritual body shaking the entire kitchen table as it stampedes through the air directly toward the Owner.
The Owner narrows her eyes slightly before casually using her free hand to stop the charging elephant head-on, her fingers gripping its massive aura tusks as she forcefully halts its momentum.
Crank grins.
"Sniping Eagle!"
The aura surrounding his body shifts instantly, transforming into a massive eagle made entirely from concentrated energy as Crank launches himself forward at incredible speed, the eagle screeching loudly while leaving trails of violent aura behind it.
The attack slams directly into the Owner's forehead.
The impact is powerful enough to snap her head backward slightly.
The Owner then speaks with mild annoyance.
"Who knew getting rid of pests would be this troublesome…"
Her eyes narrow.
"But it doesn't matter… no bug could ever defeat me."
She then straightens her neck back into place and headbutts forward.
The impact instantly shatters Crank's eagle aura form, completely destroying the construct as Crank himself is launched backward like a cannonball, crashing violently into a giant picture frame hanging on the wall.
The entire frame cracks apart from the impact.
Crank coughs up blood violently.
His HP drops immediately to 2/5 Remaining.
Boa's eyes widen slightly.
"Damn… that nearly killed him…"
His expression hardens as he quickly reassesses the situation.
"There's no way we can defeat her like this…"
The Owner's attention shifts toward him again.
Boa clenches his fists.
"Then I'll keep distracting her while the others complete the objectives."
He fires another barrage of Eldritch Blasts, forcing the Owner to shield her face again before she suddenly lunges toward the kitchen table itself, raising her fist high above her head.
Then she slams downward.
Boa barely dodges in time as the hammer-fist crashes into the table with devastating force, causing the entire structure to shake violently while cracks spread across its surface.
The impact launches Boa into the air as he uses his magic to fly.
And immediately the Owner gives chase.
Meanwhile, hidden beneath a giant plate elsewhere on the table, Voytek and the others watch the chaos unfold while staying concealed.
Voytek exhales slowly.
"I can't believe those Honorable lunatics are actually fighting the impossible…"
Hans takes a peek
"Maybe Boa's right… while the Owner is distracted, we should focus entirely on completing the objectives."
Tobias trembles slightly, his fear visibly affecting him
"But… how long can Boa actually hold out…?"
His voice shakes.
"Crank almost died in one hit… maybe it's safer if we just stay hidden…"
Ignis immediately places a hand on Tobias's shoulder.
"Come on, Tobias… we're better than that."
His eyes burn with determination.
"I'm not letting any of my friends die here, so let's hurry!"
Voytek immediately facepalms.
"How much longer until Tobias's confidence bar fills back up…? Because eventually we're going to need his fast intelligence."
Ignis scratches the back of his head awkwardly.
"It'll take some time… but between us three, we've still got enough brains to work with for now."
Tobias suddenly slaps both of his cheeks repeatedly, trying desperately to calm himself down.
"S-Sorry… I'll try my best…"
Hans nods firmly.
"Then let's move!"
But just as everyone prepares to leave, Tobias yells out
"Wait…"
Everyone turns toward him.
His breathing grows heavier as his mind begins racing rapidly.
"Boa can't keep stalling forever… eventually his mana and stamina will run out…"
He grips his head tightly as fear overwhelms him.
"And when that happens… the Owner will catch him…"
His voice cracks.
"That's when he'll die…"
He lowers his head.
Almost whispering now.
"And without Boa… there's no way my confidence could ever recover… I would…"
Ignis immediately pats his back repeatedly, trying to calm him down before his thoughts spiral further.
"Don't overthink it so much… Boa's strong, he's not going down that easily."
Hans, however, looks much more serious.
Because he knows Tobias is right.
"…But he has a point. You guys go complete the objectives. I'll help out Boa because my ability is probably the best one here at stalling."
Meanwhile, inside the enormous living room, Boa sprints across the polished wooden floor, weaving desperately between the House Owner's gigantic feet as each thunderous stomp crashes down behind him with enough force to shake the entire house, splintering floorboards and sending furniture trembling while waves of dust and debris burst outward with every impact.
Just as another enormous foot descends toward him a familiar voice cries out.
"Get away from my Boss!"
Boa's Imp suddenly flies directly in front of the House Owner, spreading its tiny wings fearlessly despite the impossible difference in size before opening its mouth and unleashing a concentrated stream of fire that strikes both of the giant woman's eyes.
The flames explode across her face.
The House Owner immediately recoils.
"Aaagh!"
She instinctively swings her hand through the air, swatting the tiny familiar away as if brushing aside an insect.
The Imp's small body is struck directly.
It flies across the room before fading into glowing particles.
Boa clenches his teeth.
"Damn it... at this rate I'm not going to last much longer..."
The House Owner slowly approaches, smiling as she towers over him.
"Looks like you've got nowhere left to run, little bug."
Boa slowly lowers his stance with his fists tighten as dark red aura begins swirling around his body.
"I've already faced the impossible many times..."
His voice grows steadier.
"You are not the first!"
He raises both hands as the gigantic hands descend toward him.
Boa's eyes flash.
"Multi-Million Eldritch Blast!"
Both of his arms erupt with overwhelming magic.
Instead of hundreds—
Millions of dark crimson Eldritch Blasts explode outward in every direction, surrounding Boa in an endless storm of destructive magic as countless explosions continuously detonate against the House Owner's massive body.
Boa's Mana bar drops rapidly as the House Owner shields herself with one arm, blocking the endless barrage as explosions continue bursting harmlessly against her skin.
She growls.
"You're... so... annoying!"
Suddenly with her free arm swings upward.
An enormous uppercut crashes directly into Boa.
The impact launches him through the air like a missile until his body slams violently against the ceiling.
Blood sprays from his mouth.
His HP plummets.
95%... 74%... 51%... 33%... 18%.
Boa slowly begins falling back toward the floor.
The House Owner smiles coldly.
She raises both hands.
Preparing to crush him between them.
Then suddenly a cloud suddenly engulfs Boa's falling body.
When the smoke clears there are now hundreds of falling Boas .
The House Owner blinks.
"...What the it must be another annoying bug trick..."
She claps both hands together.
The impact instantly crushes over a dozen Boas.
Each one bursts apart into smoke.
The remaining Boas lands before immediately scattering in different directions.
Hidden among them the real Boa rolls behind a giant shoe box beside Hans.
Boa exhales heavily.
"...Thanks, Hans."
The House Owner slowly looks around the room.
Then whistles a loud, piercing whistle echoes throughout the entire house.
Meanwhile, across the other rooms many Stars continues to desperately complete objectives.
Some flush random household items down giant toilets.
Others flood sinks and bathrooms.
Several Star Parties ignite fires across the gigantic kitchen stove.
Every completed task causes another line on the objective list to disappear.
Inside the master bedroom—
Voytek, Ignis, Tobias and several Stars push a gigantic flower pot from a cabinet.
The enormous plant crashes onto the floor, shattering into countless pieces.
Then suddenly they hear the whistle as Ignis looks up.
"What was that?"
Voytek immediately answers.
"It must be the House Owner."
Tobias trembles in fear with his face turns pale.
"...Oh no...I've got a really bad feeling about this..."
A loud growl interrupts him.
Everyone slowly looks upward.
High above them on a giant shelf sits a luxurious pet house.
Several terrified Stars suddenly burst out from behind it.
Running then something enormous emerges, a giant cat.
Its glowing eyes immediately lock onto the fleeing Stars.
With terrifying speed, it swipes one group apart before biting down on another without slowing its pace.
Blood splatters across the shelf.
The cat leaps gracefully to the floor below before sprinting toward the living room.
There it immediately spots several fleeing Stars and dozens of illusionary Boas.
Within seconds it tears through them all.
The fake Boas burst into smoke one after another.
The cat finally reaches the House Owner.
"Let's squash these little bugs together before nightfall."
The cat lets out a deep howl.
Then begins sniffing throughout the house.
One hiding place after another is discovered.
Stars are dragged out.
Most are killed instantly.
Nearby the House Owner casually flips an entire sofa upside down, exposing another cluster of hidden Stars and illusionary Boas before stomping repeatedly until nothing remains beneath her feet.
Behind a giant shoe box boa and Hans barely maintain their balance as the house continues shaking violently.
Hans quickly looks upward.
"I need to reach her face!"
His eyes shine with determination.
"If I can land one big illusion spell directly on her head, it'll buy everyone a lot of time!"
Boa nods.
"Alright..."
He immediately opens his menu.
"Then I'll get us wings..."
His eyes scan downward.
His Imp...
Still on cooldown.
He swipes toward another summon and selects it.
Immediately dark crimson chains begin wrapping around his body as he starts chanting another summoning spell.
Beside him Hans places a hand on Boa's shoulder.
Illusion magic activates.
Hundreds more chanting Boas suddenly appear all throughout the living room.
Each one pretending to perform the same ritual.
The giant cat immediately notices.
It tears through several fake Boas.
Then suddenly stops, its nose twitches and sniffs again.
Its head slowly turns directly toward the real Boa.
Hans curses.
"Damn it's coming for us!"
The giant feline immediately leaps.
Its enormous claws descend toward both Boa and Hans
But suddenly gigantic broken picture frame suddenly smashes into the cat's side, sending it tumbling violently across the floor.
Everyone turns to see crank covered in blood leaping into the air as he roars.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!"
His aura erupts with incredible force.
"Memory Animal Convergence!"
Brilliant streams of colored aura explode from every part of his body before separating into multiple gigantic spirit beasts.
A Chimera.
A Griffin.
A massive Wolf.
Each one formed entirely from condensed energy.
The Chimera and Griffin immediately charge together, slamming directly into the House Owner and forcing her backward for the first time as she struggles to hold both giant beasts back.
Boa smiles.
"...He's finally using his ace card."
Nearby the giant energy wolf crashes headfirst into the enormous cat.
Both beasts wrestle violently across the living room floor, smashing furniture apart with every collision.
Meanwhile Boa finishes chanting.
A massive winged eyeball appears before him.
Hans immediately jumps onto its back.
The creature flies straight toward the House Owner.
The House Owner tears the Griffin apart with her bare hands before stomping it into the floor.
Then she wraps one arm tightly around the Chimera's neck, wrestling it into submission.
She growls.
"I've never dealt with bugs this annoying before!"
Then she notices the flying eyeball approaching.
The creature suddenly releases an overwhelming flash of light.
The House Owner instinctively closes her eyes as she is blind for a moment.
That moment is enough as Hans leaps forward.
"Raging storm of Illusion!"
Smoke erupts around the House Owner's head, wrapping around her face like a living cloud.
She begins stumbling blindly around the living room, swinging wildly while desperately trying to wipe away the illusion but it doesn't disappear.
Hans lands safely back onto the flying eyeball, breathing heavily.
"That'll keep her occupied for a while!"
He raises his voice.
"Everyone!! We can actually win this!!"
His words echo throughout the house.
Every remaining Star immediately works faster than ever.
Tasks are completed one after another.
The objective list rapidly fills with check marks.
Until only one objective remains.
「Final Objective: Kill the Power」
Meanwhile deep beneath the house inside the basement Ignis stands at the final stair.
Below him, dozens of giant rats roam between pipes and electrical machinery.
Voytek quietly points toward the opposite wall.
"There's the power grid."
Ignis smiles confidently.
"Alright..."
He spins the slot device around his wrist.
The reels stop.
Ice. Fire. Gun.
Two magical firearms materialize before him.
One radiating freezing mist.
The other blazing flames.
He grabs both weapons as icy and fiery aura surround his body.
Voytek summons several enchanted scrolls that begin floating around him.
"I'll support you all the way there."
Ignis nods.
"We'll take out the rats..."
He looks toward Tobias.
"...while Tobias destroys the power."
Voytek then also turns around to look at Tobias as he is quietly hopping in place.
Taking deep breaths trying to calm himself as he slowly nods.
"...Everyone's all fired up..."
His breathing steadies.
"...it'll be fine... I'll too be set on a blaze.."
Voytek smiles slightly.
"Finally... his confidence meter is high enough."
A magical title materializes beside Tobias.
Magic Herbalist
Then the words suddenly explode apart.
A second title forms behind it.
Herbalist Breaker
Tobias suddenly begins breakdancing, every movement releasing swirling flower petals and blooming magical plants around him as a completely different aura bursts from his body.
They all then descend toward a sea of enormous rats that immediately screech upon noticing the intruders.
Ignis lands first.
The moment both of his feet touch the ground, a layer of frost rapidly spreads beneath him, allowing him to glide effortlessly across the basement floor as if skating on solid ice.
His movements becoming incredibly fluid as he twists and spins around the charging rats while wielding a blazing fire gun in one hand and an icy crystal gun in the other.
With every pull of the triggers, streams of fire and ice erupt simultaneously, scorching one group of rats before instantly freezing another, causing some to explode into flames while others shatter into countless frozen fragments.
Behind him, Voytek calmly steps onto a magically conjured surfboard, and with a flick of his wrist, one of the enchanted scrolls orbiting around him unfolds releasing a rushing current of water beneath the board that propels him smoothly.
As he surfs around the room with practiced precision, the remaining scrolls begin opening one after another, unleashing torrents of elemental magic in every direction, bombarding the incoming rats.
Meanwhile, Tobias remains surprisingly composed.
Standing atop a gigantic blooming flower that rises beneath his feet like a living platform, he begins breakdancing with graceful confidence, each movement flowing naturally into the next as the magical flower glides effortlessly across the room beneath him.
Whenever a giant rat lunges toward him, one of his spinning kicks sends it flying across the room, while every step of his dance releases waves of vibrant floral energy that knock back any rat.
Then Tobias drops onto his head and begins spinning rapidly.
As his headspin accelerates, powerful currents of wind spiral outward around him, causing countless flower petals to scatter from the blossom carrying him.
each glowing petal transforms into a tiny projectile of condensed light before shooting across the basement like a rain of radiant bullets, detonating upon impact and creating a chain of brilliant explosions.
The spinning flower continues carrying Tobias closer and closer to the far wall where the power grid stands.
Seeing that his opportunity has arrived, Tobias suddenly springs high into the air, gracefully leaping away from the flower as it dissolves into glowing petals beneath him.
A brilliant sword forged entirely from blooming light materializes beside him.
The radiant flower blade begins dancing elegantly around his shoulders, circling his waist before spinning around his feet as though following the rhythm of his movements.
Suspended in midair, Tobias transitions into one final breathtaking breakdance pose, his entire body rotating with incredible precision as the flower sword mirrors every motion perfectly.
Then with a final spin the sword shoots forward like a beam of light as it pierces directly into the massive power grid causing chains of explosion.
