MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage-Chapter 94 Dungeon Boss
The huge creature was slithering through the ground throwing debris in all directions. Many pebbles were falling from the ceiling as its massive body rubbed against the walls.
The whole boss room was shaking from the snake's rampage, but the 3 people inside were still alive.
Whoosh...
The Basilisk's tail was being used to make Leo and his teammates keep their distance from the beast, while the monster kept crawling around the room and spitting poison.
Looking towards the Vampiric sword stuck in the creature's body a grin appeared on Leo's face. They needed to last another 5 minutes.
Whoosh...
His Lightning projectile tore through the air successfully reaching the snake's insect-like legs and destroying some of them in the process.
Shriek...
The Basilisk was of course hurt and immediately aimed his [ Death glare ] towards Leo making him freeze in place.
Luckily this gave his teammates a chance to close in the distance and clash their sword against the beast's legs.
Even before the fight began they knew that they wouldn't be able to pierce through its hard scales, hence the only thing left for them to do was cut its limbs.
...
...
...
For a third time the creature's body turned slightly red and the temperature around raised significantly.
"Behind me!"
Instantly deploying Shadow Protection Leo closed his eyes waiting for the blast wave to come.
Boom!
A loud explosion shook the whole room and Leo felt the scorching heat of the fire pass right above his head.
'Broken...'
The shield was once again shattered, but it served its purpose allowing them to survive for another minute. Leo wasn't exactly sure how a normal party would survive the boss battle without such spells that could shield against any damage.
He wasn't keen on using it, because it might reveal his identity, but it was the only way to survive.
"The sword is about 60% full!"
Making sure to inform David about the Vampiric Sword Leo used his hinge legs to throw himself to the side avoiding a tail swipe from the huge monster.
He felt that his mana was running low, hence consumed a Mana potion he bought while being in the shop to get Tia Alchemy related stuff.
His battle kit was now only two spells and they both consumed Mana and not Shadow Energy. Leo was lucky he had powerful equipment, or else he'd be mana deprived long ago.
Whoosh...
Another Lightning Bolt was sent at the rampaging monster hitting its scales, but not the tiny legs positioned on its side.
-25 Magical Damage!
'Its scales sure are strong!'
With a thoughtful expression Leo shifted his attention towards the huge chunk of debris thrown towards his direction. He had to cast another spell, so the massive rubble wouldn't reach him.
Shriek... ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶
While Leo was occupied, defending himself his teammates were trying to damage the monster's limbs as much as they could.
David and Charles didn't even catch their breath while using swords to damage the creature. They were half desperate, half hopeful trying to kill the massive creature before them.
Even though it seemed impossible Leo has given them a slight glimmer of hope to defeat the monster.
Clank...
Their swords were suddenly repelled by the monster's scales and they had to move backwards or the snake would've crushed them with its weight.
Even though its mobility wasn't very high for a Boss monster it was relatively fast for the demons inside its domain. David barely managed to evade the creature's tail by bending his body in an almost unnatural angle.
Clank...
Leo could've sworn he heard some of his bones crack, but seeing that he was quickly drinking a HP potion remained calm.
As he was about to send another Lightning Bolt towards the ugly thing, it suddenly dived underground splashing Magma everywhere around itself.
Rumble...
Diving underground the creature completely disappeared from the sight of Leo making him warily look at the ground under his feet.
Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down he focused trying to sense the vibrations spreading through the floor.
3... 2... 1...
Counting inside his own head he suddenly deployed Shadow Protection right underneath his feet and jumped to the side.
Boom!
The creature's head collided against the Shield making it suffer a lot of physical damage.
-3719 Physical Damage!
The huge damage graph made Leo's face shift into a grin as he landed some distance away from the beast.
He predicted that the beast would go after him, because of the slight glance it gave him before masking itself underground.
"70%!"
Shouting towards David Leo glanced towards the snake that was still confused after hitting a hard surface with its face.
Its slit eyes were now a bit cloudy as it was disoriented, Leo hoped that it'd suffer a concussion, but no such Status Effect appeared clearing his disillusions.
'...' ing Bolt and lowered his head in an attempt to avoid it.
'A mistake!'
A grin appeared on Leo's face as David was standing right beneath the beast, as if waiting for it to lower its head, so he could reach its throat.
Slash...
The soft skin, not covered by the scales of the monster, was slashed by his sword, but not fully cut. The blood was gushing out like from a fountain, but the monster wasn't yet mortally wounded.
-2147 Critical Damage!
~ The Basilisk has suffered from a Status Effect [ Severe Bleeding ]
~ The Basilisk will continuously lose 15 HP per second
~Duration → 5 minutes
~~~~
With a grin on his face David jumped backwards evading the blood, so it wouldn't dye him red.
Shriek..
The wounded creature screeched, but only more blood left its wounded throat. Using its insect-like limbs it threw itself in the air evading the close-combat and starting to spit poison from high in the sky.
While the boss's huge frame was in the sky, spitting acidic poison towards the group, Leo was slowly approaching the door, trying to see if they weren't blocked by debris.
Fortunately there were no objects disallowing the door from being opened, the only problem was a magma ravine separating him from the exit.
Leo knew that he'd be able to defeat the monster alone, but would his teammates survive? He didn't know...
'Their deaths will be remembered...'
With a playful smile Leo turned around and aimed the sparkling Lightning Bolt he held in his palm at the flying Basilisk.
Whoosh...
The projectile left his hands and flew high into the sky hitting directly where the Vampiric sword was stuck in between the scales.
Shriek...
The monster felt his insides being electrocuted and shrieked in pain. Turning its ugly head towards Leo it froze him in place before spitting poison in his direction.
Leo had to cast Shadow Protection to save himself, but suddenly the beast's face turned into a grin.
'Fuck!'
Seeing its body turn red Leo barely managed to jump inside one of the cracks in the ground when an explosion hit demolishing whatever was above the ground.
[ Your party member 'Charles' has died! ]
A system message appeared on Leo's screen as he climbed out of the crack he jumped in to hide from the shockwave.
Looking around he saw that the snake was still high in the air while a half burnt human figure was barely standing in the corner of the room.
'David!'
Dashing towards him Leo noticed how badly he was burnt and that his flesh was starting to peel off.
"Drink..."
Raising a HP potion up to his lips he quickly made David consume it and his skin started going back to normal. Leo couldn't have a guy with a Vampiric Sword die before it was fully charged.
Whoosh...
Pulling David to the side and avoiding another acidic poison from the creature levitating above his head Leo sent a few Lightning Bolts in return.
-251 Magical Damage!
-260 Magical Damage!
-254 Magical Damage!
The beast's legs were cut by the Lightning Bolts, but didn't do a lot of damage considering that its HP was still over 15,000.
'I should've bought more spells, I should've bought more spells...'
Repeating the same words in his head Leo kept using the same Lightning Bolt trying to get the beast down to the ground, so David could retrieve the sword.
"Its 90% full"
He heard a whisper by his ear and slightly turning his head noticed that David was already fully healed.
'Health potions do make miracles, huh...'
Shrugging his shoulders Leo kept dodging the poison and throwing spells back at the creature while David used small pebbles and threw them at the beast. Even though for the creature it was probably ticklish it was still a way to do damage. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚
One such pebble suddenly hit the eye of the beast making it go blind on one side. Leo's eyebrows rose and he gazed at the direction of David who himself was gaping at his hand.
"I used to play baseball..."
Rubbing his hands together he smiled while avoiding the poison of the Basilisk falling exactly where he was a second ago.
Leo could only give him invisible thumbs up after seeing the damage applied to the monster.
"Its full!"
Leo and David shouted out at the same time and while Leo started producing Lightning Bolts like crazy David went closer to the beast waiting until it descended, so he could grab his weapon.
