Novel Bin Chapter 60 - Boss Battle Once More! Level 40 Reached!
-----
A giant monster emerged from the depths of the ground!
BOOOM!!!
Giving a jump that shook the bare wasteland we made inside the forest after the frantic attacks that decimated anything rushing towards us, the big boss showed up.
Is this some kind of scripted event? Right after we slaughter the last one, the big boss shows up.
I feel like the actual world just became some kind of MMORPG instead of a survival apocalypse setting… Wait, it still kind of that at the end I guess.
Monsters dropping a lot of items and giving EXP, literal dungeons popping up endless waves of monsters, and bosses emerging after certain requirements are accomplished…
"GGRRYYYAAARRR…!"
Ah well, I don\'t have any time to spare with my thoughts, as a gigantic cricket, which had enormous and slender pincers showed up, the pincers and well, its entire body was covered in a crimson-red metallic material, and its jaws extended horizontally like blades that clashed each time it roared.
This thing is definitely C-Rank now…
I quickly use Appraisal.
[Giant Scarlet Armored Flesh Cricket Emperor (C-Rank++)]
[Vitality: [10000/10000]
[Mana: [3000/3000]
[Strength: [7000]
[Magic: [2500]
[Dexterity: [4500]
[Abilities: [Power Jump], [Flare Kick], [Blade Jaws]
When I checked it with Appraisal, the monster\'s stats showed up… This didn\'t show up before.
Was this an update of Appraisal without me knowing? Is the Soul Records stabilizing and finally showing proper stats? Well, whatever it is, this monster had a hell of a health bar.
Even more, its Power was ridiculously high, and its Magic stat was good too.
It possessed three Abilities, Power Jump, Flare Kick, and Blade Jaws, all probably related to what it can use to decimate me.
The beast\'s presence released a thick crimson-red aura that seemed to create some kind of strong pressure, which even made the air around it heavy…
This is a true Boss.
"GGRRYAAR!"
The creature quickly enhanced its entire body with its crimson-red and fiery aura, enhancing its powerful legs and unleashing a barrage of kicks right towards us!
But instead of the kicks hitting us, they released waves of crimson flames!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
We quickly took evasive measures, flying away from the bombing blazing kicks as the blazing fireballs they exuded fell like meteors over the ground, clashing over the barren floor and shaking everything!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The explosions of flames left enormous craters over the ground, but the beast wasn\'t done yet, it rushed directly towards me!
Yes, me!
It seems that just like the other monsters, the Boss is also sensitive to Mana, and they seem to prioritize those with large quantities of it. And as the one with the most Mana and also the Summoner, I am the most attractive target.
But I expected as much.
I already had ready ten Consecutive Mana Bullet Blasts, which I hastily fired towards the beast face, blasting away both of its large crimson-red eyes, and then hurriedly evading right before one of its blade jaws were to slice me in half!
SLASH! CLASH!
The blades closed right in front of me, as my heart began to beat hastily.
Soon after, Ervas quickly pushed the beast away with a powerful Telekinesis Wave in the shape of an enormous hand, while Kireina flew towards it with her Khaos Spear, and unleashed powerful techniques that released beams of pure chaos over its head!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
I intercepted it afterward, charging my Sanguine Sword into my Staff and combining it with Phantom Flames, Dark Winds, and Holy Light Beam, generating a twisting spiral of darkness, light, and flames!
Anna charged her axe with black thunder and clashed it against the beast who had lost its sight and was now clumsier, easily throwing the Boss for me to take on!
Unleashing the powerful combination of my Skills, I swung my staff downwards, unleashing an enormous beam of darkness and light twisting together with flames, crushing the bug into the ground!
BOOOOOOMMM!!!
CLAASH!
The beam crushed the Boss into the ground, as the entire earth around it began to tremble, forming deeper and deeper craters, as boulders began to fly all over the place!
As the beam dissipated, we glanced down below as the bug was still somehow alive.
But through our powerful teamwork, we reduced its Health Bar a lot, and it now had a -6000 HP in one sitting!
"GRRRYSSSHAAA!"
The beast suddenly roared, as its entire body was encompassed in flames and then it jumped towards us! The force of its jump shook the earth below as its blade jaws were coated in flames as well, unleashing waves of slicing flames whenever they closed!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
All of us quickly entered into evasive measures, as we began to charge our long-ranged attacks.
I decided to not release another combination attack and simply spam long-ranged attacks, consecutively firing transparent spheres of mana that exploded on contact with the beast\'s destroyed scarlet armor.
At the same time, I created a spiral of blue flames by merging Phantasmal Fire with Dark Winds, encompassing the beast\'s entire body while it was overwhelmed by everyone else Chaos Slashes, Thunderbolts, Thunder Axe Attacks, Telekinesis Bullets, and claws and fangs.
"GGRRRYYYAARRR…!"
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Crack… crack!
The scarlet exoskeleton of the monster was not able to resist anymore, as it shattered into pieces, right before the beast\'s entire body was overwhelmed by our explosive and ridiculous onslaught of elemental attacks!
Mana Bullet Blasts exploded and turned it into minced meat, my spiral attack of blue flames burnt through the first layer of flesh exposed after the exoskeleton shattered, the piercing chaos attacks generated deep and bloody wounds, the electricity fried its flesh alive, and the other attacks helped diminish any area we were not able to cover completely!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
"Grrryyaarr…!"
Clash!
The entire beast\'s body fell over the ground, its flesh was splattered all over the place, and most of its exoskeleton was shattered into pieces.
It was finally dead.
And just as it died, several bright lights emerged out of thin air near it, alongside a crimson-red treasure chest!
Ding!
[Your Level has increased to Level 39!]
[Your Level has increased to Level 40!]
[You gained Skill Points]
Level 40 reached!
And with that, I flew down below to pick up what the monster dropped. I had particularly high expectations for the treasure chest.
