Chapter 56: Killing The Cragen Field Monster Part 3
I just nced at him as I kept moving forward. This time, I didn''t move straight to the monster; instead I jumped off the path of the tunnel to stand over the cave ground.
From the short encounter between Grendy and that monster, I managed to see the shape of the ground from the effects of their skills. I moved rapidly to nk the monster from behind, to find some arms of it standing to guard its rear.
I wasn''t surprised, though, as this monster seemed to be favorable of defense rather than offense inparison with the dragon. Once I reached there, I started to use my strongestbination SSP:
"Penta aux skill
Strength aux skill.
Tempest of lightning skill.
Triple thrush skill"
My attack with my new gear had raised the amount of damage I could deliver to this monster, especially regarding that my level was already above it.
That difference was decreased, though, by the high defense of this monster, but still my numbers of damage that appeared above its head were way higher than anyone else.
''264-528-800-800-264-528-528-528-800-528-132-264-400-400-132-264-264-264-400-264"
My damage was very high indeed, but regarding this monster''s higher HP, I barely scratched it. After few seconds, I noticed that it regained some of it HP, which was something strange as I asked in the team chat:
''This monster just recovered some of its HP.''
''It''s a boss monster of this dungeon, so it''s normal for it to recover Hp every few seconds. As I see it, it recovers 1% of its HP every 3 seconds, so we need to make it lose more HP during these three seconds,'' Shin replied while Goda then added:
''I believe if we let our mighty princess attack alone, she would be more than enough to kill it.''
''Yes, our princess is mighty,'' Mony supported and cheered me, which made meugh as I said:
''Enough of your words, and let''s try to kill this monster faster, Dragy is still waiting for us.''
''Who is Dragy?'' Heda asked, while Shin replied:
''She is calling names on these bosses.''
''Wow, that''s cute, I will start calling names too on the monsters,'' Mony said spontaneously while she was really considering doing such a thing like me. Shin and the other guys didn''t reply, which made me feel lonely with only Mony here.
I had a thought; in the future I would form my own female squadron or team, so I wouldn''t feel lonely like this again. in ten seconds, all of my strongest skills were on CD, so I started to use stab over and over again.
Although there was a big difference between the damage caused by my stab and the other strong skills, it didn''t affect my battle performance, as the passive skill of my spear showed its worth right here.
Every 5 sessful hits Inded with my spear, the 6th strike showed a high number, and every 10 sessive hits, that number became terrifying. Shin and Goda took one side of the monster while Grendy kept it busy.
Heda and Snad kept releasing their skills, while Mony''s healing timing was very perfect, especially for Grendy who took the main toll this time. I didn''t stop observing the HP of this monster, which kept declining at a slow speed.
''95%- 93%- 90%- 88%...50%''
It felt like forever to reach this stage when we managed to decrease the HP of this monster to reach the half, which turned out to be a turning point for this monster, and I frankly didn''t expect that, as this came out of the blue.
''Watch out everyone, this monster is getting some transformation.''
I was so near to that monster via my spear, which tip was inserted already in that monster''s body, so I got to see this transformation up close. That monster started to be longer and thinner, while more arms started to grow from its body.
''What is going on here? I can''t withdraw my spear from its body anymore,'' I asked in the team chat as I wanted to get away from this monster and failed. Before anyone could answer me, Grendy said in a haste and panic:
''I lost my control over this monster, I believe it''s shifting its aggro, be careful princess.''
I didn''t understand what Grendy had just said to hear shin shouting loudly:
"Use any immune skill, NOW!"
That anxious shout from Shin made me feel how dangerous was the current transformation of this monster. I had three skills that could give me absolute defense, so I started with the longest of them.
"Dragon armor absolute defense skill"
It was my first time using this skill, which formed a defensive shield around me that had some strange writings on it.
Just as the shield was formed, that monster started attacking me relentlessly using its many arms to hit me in a very rapid unpredictable pattern. If I faced this attack normally, then I would have died without doubt.
''What is happening?''
''This monster underwent a transformation that boosted its strength, speed, defense for a certain period of time. I learned from my experiences that facing a monster in its berserk mode is a crazy act,'' Shin replied.
He was still trying to attack the monster with his sword inpany with Grendy and Goda. I noticed that their attacks were nearly useless, as the damage caused by them didn''t exceed 10.
''So, what should I do?''
''You are doing great, just use your immune skills and try to stall for time, the only option for us is for this monster to finish from this mode,'' shin said.
''Do you know how long it willst?'' I said.
''usually it''s either 5 seconds to 10 seconds, but I met some monsters thatsted to 20 and even 30 seconds,'' Shin replied while his words made me more worried as I asked:
''Can''t you guess how long this berserk mode willst?''
''''
Shin didn''t reply which I thought was his retaliation for my act against him previously. I gritted his teeth and didn''t try to ask him again, as I totally focused over this monster and waited for the 5 seconds to finish.
When the 5th second passed, I noticed this monster started to slow down a little as its arms began to stop attacking crazily. I didn''t wait for me to confirm as I retreated for tens of meters rapidly creating a decent space between me and him.
''Don''t worry princess, that mo...''
