Chapter 72 - Dread Predator – Part 3.
The boss monster alongside the pseudo werewolf chimera were clashing with each other, exchanging blows and wounding each other.
The boss monster tried to overpower the chimera, but the chimera solid line of defense was not letting up and in fact, the boss monster had forgotten for the moment about the other enemies.
Phantasia launched his hammer fist on the chain from the side while the wolf chimera rushed form the other side alongside the werewolf chimera attack from front.
All 3 attacks connected, dealing some proper damage, but also angering the boss monster once again.
The boss monster released a shockwave from its fur again, pushing back all enemies.
The monster then tried going invisible, but Phantasia launched his hammer fist at the enemy, hitting it, but not stopping it from going invisible.
(Damn!)
(Just hitting alone isn't enough? You need to deal enough damage to chancel this thing.)
Phantasia began swinging his weapon around himself in order to hit the monster if it dared to approach him.
And unfortunately for him, the boss monster this time chose him as target.
The swinged hammer fist hit the monster, revealing its location, but not giving enough time for Phantasia to put proper defense or dodge, meaning that all he could do was to raise his metallic arm as shield and have it take the hit.
The giant claw hit Phantasia entire body and send him flying and rolling on the ground.
The boss monster rushed towards Phantasia, trying to finish him off, but before the boss monster could do that, Phantasia fired [Poison Blow] at the monster, hitting him right in the face with poison smoke projectile that spread out as soon as it collided with monster face, blinding the monster vision for moment and allowing Phantasia to roll to the side, barely dodging the monster pounce.
(SHIT!)
The monster looked at Phantasia.
"…No?"
The monster rushed towards Phantasia, this time catching up to him and trying to bite him. Phantasia used his left arm as a shield, making the boss monster bite it, but also severely damage it nonstop.
"FUCKER!"
"[Power Kick]!"
Phantasia kicked the monster in the throat…. But the monster did not let go and instead put even more force it its bite.
(SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!) – though Phantasia while panicking and kicking the monster in the throat over and over again.
Phantasia metallic arm was sustaining more and more damage, but then the werewolf chimera rushed in and stabbed the monster right in the side with its sword, making the monster scream in pain and let go of Phantasia arm.
After quickly taking out his arm from the monster mouth, Phantasia fired [Acid Blade] at point blank range, hit the monster right in its mouth before then getting up and moving away as the wolf monster rushed in and joined the werewolf to fight against the boss monster
(Shit! Quicky!)
Phantasia quickly took out potion and began drinking it while his chimeras were keeping the boss monster occupied.
"?"
(Oh, god dammed.)
Phantasia left arm that was taking many hits through the entire battle and that rampaging bite attaches ended up severely damaging the arm.
The entire arm was completely crushed and the hand was barely hanging by the chain… Scratch that, the chain broken and Phantasia hand just fallen on the ground broken.
(Shit.)
(In this game you can lose an limb and stuff, so it's no surprise that I can my cyborg body parts as well.)
(Well, it's not like I will permanently lose the limb or anything and my cyborg body even if it was torn apart I wouldn't lose it, I tested it out since I was quiet curios and scared.)
(But right now I cannot properly use that arm.)
(Honestly if my arm was just flesh and blood it would have gotten crushed long time ago.)
(But again, this arm cannot be even used as weapon. I can probably just smack once or twice before it snaps.)
(…. FUKING PERFECT!) – though Phantasia while taking out another potion from his inventory.
(….)
(Huh… I wonder if I can make something like arms I can replace like equipment? But then the joints would be-)
(WAIT THAT ISN'T THE POINT RIGHT NOW!)
The werewolf monster was hitting the boss monster over and over with its weapons while the wolf chimera was on top of the boss monster and biting into the monster back. Find exclusive stories on empire
The boss monster straight up ignored the wolf monster and instead focused on the werewolf.
The chimera swinged its blade, but then it was catched by the monster mouth.
The boss monster tried to push the werewolf back, but then a crossbow bolt flew out of nowhere and pierced right in the monster right eye, making it let go of the blade and scream in pain, allowing the werewolf to retract its sword before then swinging it and landing a devasting blow on the monster neck.
(Well, I was hoping that crossbow bolt would have finished it off, but fuck it.) – though Phantasia while tossing aside the crossbow he had prepared beforehand.
Phantasia detached his right hand and began swinging it by chain before then launching it at the werewolf sword, hitting it and making the blade sink deeper into monster neck and making the boss monster caught out blood.
"FROM THE OTHER SIDE PRINCESSS!" – shouted Phantasia.
The chimera wolf got off the boss monster back and rushed towards the boss monster neck, biting it from the other side while other side the deerwolf was putting all of its strength to sink its blade even further.
Phantasia pulled back his hand before then starting to spin it, but then the boss monster roared, sending a shockwave in his direction and hitting him dead on.
The boss monster then began releasing the black smoke from his fur once again before then unleashing the shockwave around itself, trying to get rid of the monsters trying to decapitate it and successfully pushing them away, but leaving the werewolf sword that was already deep into the monster neck.
The boss monster then prepared to go invisible, but before it could do that, Phantasia rushed towards the boss monster and used skill [Battle Step] to close the distance and increase his next basic body type attack power before then using skill [Jab] to launch a quick fist attack with his right arm.
Phantasia hand straight up hit the monster right in its remaining eye, making the monster squall in agony and stop it from turning invisible.
"YOU SHOULD HAVE SHOT ME AFTER YOU KNOCKEDBACK THESE TWO YOU FUKING IDIOT!"
The monster with now both of its eyes heavily injured was now blinded and was aggressively attacking everything around itself in total panic.
However, this moment of panic gave the chimera werewolf chance to rush in and grab the blade that was stuck in the monster neck, pushing it further in with the force of the charge.
The beast tried resisting the chimera assault, but again Phantasia detached his hand and swinged it around, hitting the blade and making go even deeper and giving the werewolf chimera enough support for its blade to sink deep enough to make beast bleed out drastically.
The monster pushed away the werewolf chimera away, but it was too late.
The blade was sinked way too deep into the monster neck, the lost of both eyes, the total accumulated damager over the course of the entire fight.
All of it was too much and so, the monster finally fallen dead on the ground.
"…."
(He won't come back to life-)
[You have slain: Dread Predator]
"Oh, thank fuking god." – said Phantasia after finally relaxing.
(If that guy would straight up turn into undead and have some sort of form, I swear to god!)
[You have hunted down the apex predator of the undead mountain single handily.]
[You have obtained title: Dread Predator Slayer] – [B]
[+200 stat points.]
"…."
"Wait… I got title from that?"
(Jezus. So that boss was some sort of special boss then, huh? And B rank title as well?)
(…. Well, it does seems fair for them to give me B rank title for this bullshit and everything.)
(But I think this is first time I got title for killing a boss monster? Huh…. So, there are bosses out there that gives you titles if you kill them?)
(…That is quite interesting to know… But that only focuses on boss monsters? What if I kill some important NPC? Would it also give me a title? This is quite interesting…. Oh well, time will tell or maybe some idiot already revealed that information to the public and people already knew about it.)
"…"
(Still…. WTF.)
(I got shit tons of EXP from it. I even leveled up multiple times myself after it died.)
(I do know it was not normal monster now thanks to the title and also because of the fact that it straight up mauled me! Jezus that thing was strong like hell. Fuck me. Even with chimeras it was hard like hell…. And one of my arms have been completely destroyed. It straight up crushed steel with its jaws…...
Oh my lord if I didn't blocked any of those bites back then I would get instantly killed, wouldn't I?)
(…...)
(Em…. Let's focus on something else right now. And something very important.)
"What should I do with this thing?"
"…."
(Should I take items? Or use that bastard corpse for the chimera?)
(Both options sound extremely solid.)
(Honestly… Defense, offensive and all other stuff…. It would be extremely worth it…... IT would make an exceled body for the chimera creation, BUT there is problem called my current mission.)
(The dread hunters does provide the necessary materials for the research of the unliving heart…... And this guy will provide materials if not KEY materials needed to finish the unliving heart…)
(But then again, it could be used to create a perfect chimera!)
(If I were to make monster using THAT body, I could create something so strong that would straight up bring carnage with it.)
(But again…. What if that monster won't respawn? Not all monsters respawn and everything according to the game guide.)
(What if he was one of those "One life only" just like NPCs?)
"…."
"FUCK!"
(I need the materials from that guy and I cannot wait any longer!)
(If that guy is also one of those monsters that does not respawn after time, then I would be in quiet picky situation if I were to harvest its corpse for body parts instead of collecting drop items.)
(Better not risk it.)
[You have obtained:
-Dread Predator Mana Crystal.
-Dread Predator Heart.
-Dread Predator Fangs.
-Dread Predator Claws.
-Dread Predator Hide.
-Dread Predator Bones.]
(It better be fuking worth.)
(…. Honestly, I want to hunt bit more and look for more materials…. But with my current state and the fact that my normal beats are already exhausted, it straight up impossible to continue.)
(I will make short stop in the city before going to meet up with that necromancer.)
(And I swear to god, if he needs any stronger stuff, I'm straight up killing!)
