The colossal beast let's loose a massive blast of red energy from the right heads eye. I sprint to the right toward the left side of the beast. The searing heat from the blast instantly turns a large portion of the rock wall where I was standing into liquid magma that crackles and sputters.
That was a hell of a blast I think to myself. I know my defense and magical defense are high, but I'm not sure I would like to put that to the test against that blast. It's best if I finish this quickly. The colossal creature turns to the left to face me again.
"Sorry to cut this fight so short, but I can't spend too much time sticking around here." I say to the towering Cyclops.
"Iaijutsu- Mugyourikuren!"
My body takes over and launches first toward high up on the chamber wall, then jumps of that headed straight toward the Boss's mid section.
SHING!!
SHING!!
SHING!!
SHING!!
SHING!!
SHING!!
6 points of light appear where the monster was slashed. There are again one on each shoulder, each leg, the abdomen, and the right head's neck.
I land soundlessly as usual, my right hand raises up, and I let loose the snap.
SNAP!!!
All 6 points of light erupt in a waterfall of blood. A loud roar emanates from the boss as it's sliced in 6 areas at once. The right head falls and lands with a loud thud on the cavern floor. Surprisingly, none of the limbs are sliced through. Apparently this big guy has some decent defense, much to my annoyance.
"Θεραπευτικοί άνεμοι" roars the left head.
A massive white swirling storm envelops the whole 10 story tall monster. I watch as the wounds I created are all healed within seconds.
"Tch!" I click my tongue in disappointment at what I'm seeing.
All that damage undone in an instant. Well at least the right head is gone. Without that, the massive menacing axe is out of commission, not to mention the laser it tried to attack me with. My blade recharged to red with the blood it did get to consume. I guess I'm going to have to chip away at this things MP until it runs out. What a fucking pain.
"Iaijutsu- Shifu!"
My body launches straight up and places a single slash on the midsection of the colossus. The wound immediately begins growing.
"Ανάσταση!" Screams the remaining head as I head back to the floor after the attack.
What the hell is it doing now?!
A massive bright light appears from above the towering Cyclops, right about the area where the right head used to be. The fallen head explodes in a massive flow of blood and heads up toward the neck where the head used to be. Blood suddenly erupts from the severed neck and begins swirling with the blood from the fallen head, forming a massive ball.
"What the fuck..." I mutter as I land back on the floor.
The massive swirling ball of blood begins forming into the shape of a head.
"SON OF A BITCH!" I yell as I realize what's happening. This fucking side of the beast is resurrecting the other side!
I immediately launch myself at the towering beast, slashing as many times as I can. I need to create as much damage as possible. I need to collect more blood.
What I believed would be a pushover is turning into anything but. The healing abilities of the left head are far beyond anything I have seen thus far. They are even more potent than my attacks! Even the damage from my greatest attack was erased with a single spell!
I slash and slash and slash as fast as I can, leaving deep slices all over the Boss' limbs and body. I slice through tendons and muscle the best I can trying to debilitate it, but it's too fricken massive. The thick leather armor puts a serious damper on my ability to slice up its body. The leather gear it's wearing is about a foot thick, plus it's reinforced with steel studs. I can still get through it, but the wound underneath is seriously lacking in any real stopping power.
The right head finishes forming and it's eye springs open. A rage filled growl echos around the chamber.
"Oh crap!" I say hearing the roar.
The right head's eye glows red again. I immediately dash to the monster's left again as the blast slams into the cave wall. Suddenly it begins to turn its head toward me. The massive Cyclops begins turning toward me, the searing laser roaring straight at me.
"Oh shit!" I yell thinking I was in the clear.
I take off running around the perimeter of the room, but the blast is gaining on me. I look to my left and see an opening between the building sized legs. I jump and land between the legs of the colossus as the laser sweeps the room, melting rock as it goes by.
Suddenly a massive leg raises up and starts falling right on top me. I jump and roll back to the outside wall of the chamber, the rocks still smoldering.
As I hit the scorching rocks, the massive double sided axe comes swinging in. I jump to clear the weapon when the Cyclops suddenly turns the axe vertically. Remembering what I said about your enemy jumping at you. Well, that's about to bite me in the ass. The massive 20 foot wall of steel swats me like a fly.
*BONG!*
I impact the massive axe with a loud thud, the massive axe reverberating like a gong. I'm sent flying at tremendous speeds where I impact the wall of the chamber, but since the chamber is a massive circle, I tumble and slide along the wall. I tumble and slide for a full one and a half revolutions of the chamber before my momentum stops and I thud to the ground.
The massive axe is coming at me from straight above and I notice it at the last minute. I try to block it with my sword but the weight of the massive axe along with the strength of the colossal beast brings me to my knees as a massive shockwave propagates from the point of impact of our weapons. The ground under me caves in and a crater forms from the sheer power of the impact.
I look at the impact point where our weapons meet, and my sword has not even made a scratch in the edge of the massive axe.
"What the fuck is this thing made of?!" I say in shock that my legendary grade sword couldn't damage this Boss' axe.
I push the axe back using all my strength and immediately launch another green weapons skill.
"Iaijutsu- Shifu!"
My body launches and lands the hit on the towering beast's lower abdomen below the first one, the wound immediately beginning to widen. I need to land a lot more of these wounds. I need to overwhelm the healing ability of the left head.
I begin landing more slashes as fast as I can. I weave in and out of the massive legs slicing them up the best I can. I occasionally jump at the wall behind the beast in order to spring off of it and strike at its back. Enough blood is flowing that my blade soon glows green again.

Over the next several minutes I land several more Iaijutsu- Shifu weapon skills, covering the giant's body and limbs with growing wounds.
"Θεραπευτικοί άνεμοι" roars the left head.
Once again a swirling storm of white energy encases the towering beast. As before, every wound I created is healed. The weapon skill's wounds begin growing again, but essentially this isn't working like I would hope. It's just not enough damage. I need to take out that healer head or this isn't going to end.
The problem is getting all the way up there to that head. It's not that it would be too difficult to hump that high, as I'm definitely strong enough. The problem is jumping that far leaves me open to be swatted by the massive axe.
"Wait, swatted by the axe!" I say thinking of what happened the last time that happened.
I remember being struck in that exact fashion and I tumbles and slid along the circular wall of the room. Well, what if I could control that and use my speed to run on that wall?! I remember my physics class back in high school, particularly about centrifugal forces. That's the force that kept me pinned to the wall as I tumbled and slid, instead of me just falling to the ground.
I need to recreate the conditions for how that initial swat happened. This time I'll use the axe to my advantage. I begin my normal attacks just causing as much damage as possible, throwing several more weapon skills in there for good measure. I duck under the towering beast and begin shredding up the insides of its legs. It raises a foot to stomp down on me, exactly what I was waiting for. I hop back out in front of the beast and as expected, the axe comes swinging at me edge first. I start running away from it but purposely slower than it. As it nears me I jump, and the Cyclops rotates the blade to swat me like a fly once again. I orient myself so when the axe hits me, I'm feet first.
The axe strikes me and I'm in a crouched position on the jet black steel. I launch myself off the blade and hit the wall of the room at a dead sprint. I activate my Dash skill which I learned from the massive Dire Wolves on the previous floor. This gives me a great boost of speed and allows me to run up the wall as I travel. After two and a half rotations around the room, I'm finally up around shoulder level with the towering colossus.
As I come to the left shoulder of the Cyclops, I suddenly launch directly toward the Healer head. I slash with my blade slicing the back half of its neck clean through. My momentum carries me straight toward the right Warrior head, where I plant a clean kick straight on its jaw. This strike serves the purpose of launching me back toward the Healer head, where I slice again, slicing through the remaining attacked area on the front of its neck, completely severing the head. I travel past and impact the wall once again. I kick off the wall and head back toward the Cyclops, where my dying momentum brings me just to its arm where I sink in my blade, and use it to slide slowly toward the ground. This creates a massive slice down the length of the left arm. I land adjacent to the left of where the Healer head landed, it's unseeing eye half rolled back into the massive head.
"Resurrect from that bitch!" I shout triumphantly.
There is a sudden murderous roar from the remaining head. Red energy erupts from that side of the Cyclops and envelops the now dead left side. The red color from the right side begins to bleed over the light tan color of the left side until it takes over it completely. The previously unmoving left arm I just sliced down discards the massive staff, and it grips the axe with the right hand.
The whole colossus begins emitting red waves of energy as the remaining head enters an enraged state. It's previous organized pattern of attack is replaced by wild swings of the axe. The colossus not even caring if the axe hits me or the walls of the room, leaves massive gashes in the walls and on the floor of the room.
The cyclops shoots blasts of energy from its eye, seemingly all over the place, desperate to hit me. The already battered walls are melted by the intense heat of its blasts. It doesn't matter though, as it's far too slow to keep up with me anymore. Utilizing my Utsusemi and Dash skills, the towering monster hits nothing but shadows, meanwhile I carve away at its flesh.
The damage, along with the ever expanding wounds, begins taking its toll. My blade finally glowing its beautiful violet color, let's me know it's time to end this.
"Iaijutsu- Mugyourikuren!"
My body launches for the decisive blows in this contest. My weapon with a sharpness to cut the Gods themselves, slashes at the towering monstrosity.
SHING!!
SHING!!
SHING!!
SHING!!
SHING!!
SHING!!
I spring off the chest of the building g sizes monstrosity, and land with the grace of a feline. What's beginning to become my favorite thing, my right hand raises up, thumb and middle finger pressed firmly together.
*SNAP!!!*
The 10 storey monster erupts in geysers of blood, once again the right head severed completely. The head falls toward me, and I slice upward, splitting the massive head in two, each side falling on either side of me.

The towering headless body falls over and wedges itself against the wall of the room, the massive body unable to actually fall to the floor.
The massive beast seems to take forever to be absorbed by the dungeon. It is extremely large after all. I mean, imagine a little bunny vs 10 story office building. Of course the office building would take longer to absorb. The mana stone it leaves behind is colossal, about the size of an full size SUV. I have to take my pouch off my waist and bring the opening to the stone. The pouch opens so wide that the pouch basically flattens out like a sheet, and I have to basically cover the stone with it like a blanket. Once done the pouch closes around the bottom of the stone and begins shrinking back to its size. Once done, I place it back on my waist.
Next to the massive mana stone sits the double-bladed axe the Cyclops was wielding. This thing was strong enough that I couldn't even damage it with my sword. It initially was absorbed with the body, but it reappeared with the mana stone, and like the Masamune before, the axe sat hovering about a foot off the ground, and much smaller than the original, but still massive in size I pick up the massive two-handed axe and use inspect on it.
