âDude, wake up,â Rael said sternly. âYouâre drooling on my seats.â
Seryn shot awake immediately. âMy apologies. I was dreaming about my fiancĂ©e.â
âIâm sure you were, but could you do me one favor?â Rael asked.
âAs long as it is within my limits,â Seryn replied.
âAlright then, can you stop talking so formally with me? The first couple of times were funny and all, but now itâs getting a bit repetitive,â Rael complained. âI get that you mightâve been raised in some noble family, but youâre just too stiff to talk to.â
âI seeâŠâ Seryn muttered. âI can try toning it down a notch then. Before joining the Blue Dragon sect, I was actually a beggar.â
Noticing the change in tone, Rael let out a sigh. âGood to know. Also, I think itâs about time I tell you what weâre doing here.â
Seryn nodded. âIâm listening.â
âIâm going to awaken the beast, so I need you to stay deathly silent,â Rael explained flatly. âThere are certain things I must do in order to get back to my lovely wife, and one of them is to light all the bonfires.â
âCome back⊠can I go back too then?â Seryn muttered, meeting Raelâs eyes. âAre you sure thisâll work?â
Rael shrugged. âI can go back that way. Iâm not sure about you, though. I guess weâll find out after lighting all 10 of the bonfires.â
Before Seryn could say another word, Rael stepped out.
Like before, a massive obelisk stoodâbut this time, there was a single unexpected guest.
âPlague Abomination (Commander Class Elite) [Level 202] [3,448,240,000/3,448,240,000] (+1,000,000,000)
It was a massive lump of black goo, with weird rotating eyes sticking out of every part of its ugly body.
Safe to say, it looked disgusting.
No surprise there, though, but itâs not going to be that hard to kill.
His skills were upgraded a fair deal, and his stats had increased even more.
So now, all he had to do was keep hitting the elite monster until it died.
âSeryn, can you just stand by in the back for the time being? I want to deal with this thing on my own,â Rael said, earning a nod from Seryn in response.
âSuit yourself.â
With that, Rael prepared himself and took a few steps forward, until finally, he was around 35 meters away from the abomination.
Despite its many eyes, he could tell it was blind, so without even wasting a single moment, he decided to pull out the big guns right from the start.
[MP -1,070,000 2,359,600/3,429,600 (x2 Frostfire Tempest)]
Two massive storms appeared right on top of the abomination, swirling in opposite directions, and surprisingly not canceling each other out.
But of course, the abomination didnât stand there and wait for the attack to chip away at its health.
With its massive body, it began taking steady steps forward, seemingly not affected by the slowness of the storm.
However, before it could leave the storm, Rael pulled out his Violin Blade and focused.
He had always only thought of one element while hitting the string with his rapier.
Fire.
But what if he thought outside the box?
His Frostfire Tempest skill was able to take chunks of HP out of enemies, so why couldnât his Violin Blade do the same?
Fuck it⊠doesnât hurt to try⊠Rael thought, and in the very next moment, imagined a raging flame.
At the same time, he gave the flame an effect to literally shred the HP of anything it hit.
And in the very next instant, a completely red note flew out, heading straight for the abomination.
However, that effect he was expecting never showed up in the note, and soon, it made contact with the monster.
-3,801,739! Critical True Note! (1x Crystal Violin Blade)
The damage was amplified by 5 times instead of 3⊠Rael pondered, watching as the abomination staggered back.
Funnily enough, flames worked surprisingly well against its black goo, since it turned out to be highly flammable.
But he wouldnât settle with this.
The monster had billions of HP, and he wasnât about to fight it for hours.
Obviously, his Frostfire Tempest was putting in the work, but he wouldnât be able to see its damage until 25 seconds later.
Until then, he had to try again.
-3,341,429! Critical True Note! (1x Crystal Violin Blade)
And again.
-3,922,008! Critical True Note! (1x Crystal Violin Blade)
Thatâs more than 5 times the damage⊠My skill is definitely increasing, but now, I need to put all of this shit into a good attack.
After allâŠ
<Resonance: Max Stacks Reached!>
<The next basic attack will do 50% more damage!>
Here goes nothing⊠Rael took a deep breath and once again imagined a flame.
Just this time, instead of adding something onto it, he decided to merge it together.
The innate ability to deal flat % HP damage, as well as the attribute of flames, all in one.
And the moment his rapier touched the red string, a sound unlike any other rang out.
It was soothing, but if he focused on the sound, it almost felt like heâd be cut.
And of course, the note, which was previously red, now had a tinge of silver to it.
The note flew into the two storms, and in the very next instant, a vibrant silver flame burst outward, combining itself with the two storms and causing them to rapidly speed up their swirling speed.
At the same time, the colors of both the swirling storms and the ice particles turned silver, flying rampantly, until finally, the storms dissipated slightly ahead of schedule.
But it wasnât because they were canceled. InsteadâŠ
-517,236,000! Critical True Note! [15% HP Damage] (1x Crystal Violin Blade)
-12,255,899! Critical True Note! (1x Crystal Violin Blade)
-105,763,000! Critical Hit! (2x Frostfire Tempest)
-2,413,768,000! True Burning Damage! [70% HP Damage] (2x Frostfire Tempest)
Aha⊠Rael held back a laugh at this crazy amount of damage.
He had managed to push the Crystal Violin Blade to its limits, which was a good thing, sure.
But there was one issue.
âPlague Abomination (Commander Class Elite) [Level 202] [388,151,935/3,448,240,000] (+1,000,000,000)
That thing was still alive, andâŠ
<Note: Crystal Violin Blade (Unique-Rare) has less than 5% Durability remaining!>
<Would you like to repair: Crystal Violin Blade (Unique-Rare)? Yes/No>
<Cost: 1,500,000 MP>
So I either cast a few storms and kill this thing or⊠Rael trailed off, a grin appearing on his face.
[MP -1,500,000 759,000/3,429,600 (x1 Crystal Genesis)]
<Crystal Violin Blade (Unique-Rare) has been repaired!>
I wonder if that abomination has balls?
