Chapter 40 Secret Boss Fight (Part I)
"Olivia! Bring out the snacks!" Listening to my orders, she made a stick of crackers filled with chocolate giving it to both of us. Taking a bite and snapping it in half, my magic power was boosted by ten percent. Ten percent may be low, but it wasn't something to scuff at.
Charging my magic as the monster began to surface out of the lake, I tried to gather as much mana as possible.
Seeing the monster appear was a monster I could expect to see in a fantasy world. Appearing tall, the height of eight meters tall with its beautiful blue scale, a serpent appeared. With its horn on the top of the serpent's head, he sent a ray of mana at us.
Having to deal with that attack, I launched my sun at it, destroying the attack and going past to hit the serpent. However, the serpent saw and passed my attack, making it miss.
"Fast!" I was shocked by its speed. Judging by the speed, hitting him would be hard.
"Serena, try to lessen the movement of the serpent!" I yelled out and gave her a command.
"No problem!" Serena answered confidently, thinking that she could lessen the movement of the secret boss.
The serpent weaved in a zig-zag, making the chances of me attacking miss, moving left and right. It went to me, seeing that my magic was the most dangerous.
I couldn't let it get close to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to defend myself. Serena was using curse magic to weaken the boss. Launching multiple mini suns with a diameter of three centimeters
The serpent couldn't dodge all of my attacks due to Serena's curse making it graze it. It hurt the monster, but the amount of damage I had done wasn't enough to weaken it.
Angered by my attack, it hissed at me, running towards me at full force. I couldn't let this chance go in a short burst. I used a lot of mana to make a giant sun, hoping my attack would land.
Unfortunately, the serpent's reaction speed was breakneck enough to dodge sideways. Then, seeing that I missed it, it used its full force and attacked me.
It was getting closer, covering me in a fire. I took a blow on my body with its tails slamming it onto me.
Sending me back, I landed on a tree nearby. "Arghh!" I groaned in pain. I felt pain. Even when my fire armor blew, it still hurt like hell. It was my first time taking a hit. I wasn't resistant to any kind of physical pain. On the bright side, the serpent felt the pain of attacking my fire armor.
"Charlie!" Olivia shouted, worried about my condition. Olivia began feeding me with her magic, and my pain was reduced. However, the monster was attacking Serena, and it didn't look like she would hold on for much longer.
I had no time to waste. "Thanks, Olivia," I sputtered, returning to the battle. With the boss occupied with Serena, I made a long plasma rod. I sent it to the serpent, who didn't suspect a thing was hit, piercing its scales and making a hole in the middle of its body.
The serpent hissed in pain, feeling the pain of its body being pierced and the after-effects of the heat coming from it. Then, slithering around in pain, it went after me, shooting a breath of water at me.
Countering the attack, I launched my own beam at it. With my magic stronger, it pushed the serpent's water breath back without resistance.
Serena, who saw this chance, sent her own magic using the destruction magic on the serpent's wound. With her hit landing, the boss water breath completely stopped its attack, and my beam went in and made another piercing on the serpent.
It was also dead. Another attack and it would be defeated. I couldn't let the chance go and shot a plasma beam finishing it.
The serpent cried in desperation. Then, with anger, something happened. It was shedding its skin, the boss shed its skin, and the damage dealt earlier had recovered. The body grew to ten meters tall. Instead of having one horn, another one grew.
I felt its mana. It had evolved into a more powerful beast. It was now a rank three monster, something that none of us had excepted. This fight would be the hardest one I would've fought.
"Shit!" I cursed at it, feeling cheated that the boss grew in strength. I was in disbelief. Olivia and Serena's faces paled. Seeing that it grew much more powerful, it was already hard enough to fight this.
Using more mana in my attack, I sent a plasma ray, attempting to hurt the serpent. Seeing the serpent dodge quickly, it ran towards me quicker than before. Fuck! I thought to myself, could we beat this thing? Or would we be killed?
At full force, I made myself plasma armor. I then attacked it with small bullets at a fast pace, my attacks were grazing it, but it wasn't affecting its speed to me.
Taking the full brunt of its attack, I was sent flying. The attack earlier was nothing compared to the one that I took earlier. I couldn't move properly. The pain in my body was hurting too much. My body couldn't stand the pain for me to stand correctly. I was breathing too heavily, gasping for air.
Olivia ran to me as fast as possible, seeing that I was hurt. "Charlie!" She screamed with tears coming out of her.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't do anything." She cried, anguished from her lack of ability to do anything.
"Charlie, I'm going to use all my mana to recover you. Please win this battle!" Feeding me the last of her mana, she fainted. I had recovered from the serpent attack, and Olivia trusted me with everything. I couldn't let that trust go to waste. I then began to go back and try to beat the boss.
