chapter-249
"This was… the Miasmic Beasts killed all the wolves!" I said while panicking a bit. "Ah!"
I quickly noticed inside of my map a lot of red dots rushing towards us.
"It seems so." Said Titan.
"We've got company too!" Achlys said.
"No, the puppies…" Cried Rosetta, suddenly beginning to sob. "You poor things…""Nieve, Florie, protect Rosetta for us, we'll fight the Miasmic Beasts!" I said.
"Got it!" Nieve said, unsheathing her magic sword as an air of ice emerged around her.
"Leave it to us!" Florie said, as pink-colored light emerged from her hands.
I glanced at the map, as I saw the red dots getting closer. Their auras were not weak or ordinary at all either!
CLASH!
Suddenly, an enormous black claw emerged from within the left corridor, scratching the hard walls as a monstrous and enormous monster, of at least five meters of height slowly began to move its head to look at us.
"GGRRRR…."Its body resembled that of a giant monitor lizard, covered from head to toe into black scales, and its head looked like that of a vicious viper. Its red eyes were decorated with a third one in the middle of the other two, and the strange monster had a long tail… The creature by itself was monstrous and enormous, a beast we had never found before in this forest.
[Lesser Miasma Drakon: Lv32 (ELITE)] [Status: Enraged]
Description: Lesser Drakon are a type of dragon-type monster that dwell in the depths of the underground layers of the world. It is said that they eat ores for sustenance and are incredibly territorial, easily being provoked by someone stepping into their feeding nests, which they will respond with aggressiveness and will not stop until they chase down or kill their foes. This version of the Drakon Monster has been infested with Miasma, granting it incredible enhanced capabilities.
Skills: [Miasma Breath] [Claws of Darkness] [Shadow Trap] [Tail Slam] [Eyes of Intimidation] [Aura of Miasma]
Title: [Merciless Predator]
Not only its very presence was very intimidating, sending shivers down our spines. But the monster's status already said a lot about how strong it was. It was Level 32 and with several skills that all looked rather deadly.
"T-This monster is bad news!!" Said Acorn in shock. "It is barely two levels below us…"
"S-So strong… How can we find something so powerful in this beginner area?!" Titan wondered.
"Don't just stand in there, it's coming!" Achlys cried.
"And it's more than one!" Acorn said.
From behind the one that showed up, four more emerged, they all were just as big and strong, emanating menacing auras of darkness and miasma. From where exactly they came from to begin with?!
"T-Those are Drakon?! I heard that the people was also attacked by such monsters…" Said Rosetta. "Their presence alone is too much…! I can't even move?!"
"You can't move?" Asked Titan. "Ah, that must be their Intimidating Eyes Skill, it paralyzes anyone that is intimidated by their gaze!"
Is that also the reason I couldn't move myself?!
Crap! I have to move!
I might die and it doesn't matter because I am a Player, but if Rosetta dies… or Florie, Nieve, or Acorn, they cannot come back, this is the only live they got! I choose to bring NPC with me knowing the risks of their single life. And I won't simply stand as they get slaughtered in front of me!
"GROOOARRRR!"
The first Drakon fixated its sight into me, immediately pouncing towards my way and pointing its enormous claws at me, with a single swipe of them, it could easily slash me into pieces!
"Spiritual Barrier!"
CLAAASH!
A barrier emerged around my body, quickly protecting me. The claws were powerful, however, infecting my barrier with miasma and literally melting it, making the barrier disappear almost instantly!
"Take… THIS!"
I grabbed my staff as it quickly shapeshifted into an enormous Scythe, and I used the power of my newly acquired [Spirit Farming Tool Mastery] Skill!
SLAAAASH!
The attack unleashed a shockwave of spiritual energy from within, which pierced through the Drakon's hard black scales, piercing its flesh and leaving a large slashing wound… Blood sprayed from within the wound, as the Drakon stopped moving, shocked by the wound over its chest…
"GRAHHH…!"
And above all… it was completely paralyzed.
Yes, this is the skill's Stun Effect! Now it has become a 100% chance to stun a target without resistance to the Stun Status Effect when hit for five seconds! Drakon seem completely unresistant to the status effect!
SPARK!
And not only that, but the [Paralysis] Status is also stacked with [Stun] forcing the monster of menacing appearance to just stop moving, standing like a statue right in front of me. The attack I made took around 8% of its total HP, so it has a lot of HP and Physical Defense, I am not a specialized physical attacker, so that small damage was to be expected, but if I hit that thing another nine times, it might be a different story!
TRUUUUUMMMM…!
And that wasn't the entire effects of my Evolved Skill, as a shockwave of power emerged from within the Drakon I hit, impacting the other four Drakons as well and dealing 60% of the damage dealt to the Drakon, while Stunning and Paralyzing two out of the four as well!
"GRAARRR…!"
"GRAAAH?!"
"GRYERRR…!"
"We can do this… We are not as weak as before, we a fight!" I roared, running forward as I shapeshifted my weapon into a large shovel.
"HYAAAA!"
FLUOOSH!
Suddenly, my shovel was engulfed in flames out of nowhere! This was also thanks to the power of the Skill, having a 50% chance each time I initiate an attack to imbue my weapon with an element for a single attack, and this time, it was the element of fire!
BOOOOMMMM!!!
When the shovel hit the Stunned Drakon, it unleashed a blazing explosion that took over the entire monster's body, dealing a whopping 25% damage into its HP!
"GRUUAARRR!"
