Hikari: Rise Of The Weapons Master

Chapter 10 Zack And WolfHeart Versus Mini Boss



The moment the timer reached zero, a creature rose from the depths of the swamp and moved towards the duo.

Zack's senses immediately came into action as he realized that something was wrong.

"Jump to your right!" He shouted at WolfHeart and the two of them immediately jumped on their left and right side respectively.

The creature then appeared from below the swamp and jumped out.

[ Evolved Swamp Crocodile (Level 12): A crocodile hiding in the depths of the swamp slowly grew with time and evolved. Is weak against lightning and fire elements. ]

'Why is that thing at level 12?' Zack narrowed his eyes when he saw the level of the mini-boss. It was supposed to be at level 10 but here it was at level 12. But that wasn't that big of a deal especially since Zack had both the fire and lightning element.

"WolfHeart, try to hit the crocodile from far away and I will do the rest of the job." He ordered the pink-headed woman and took out Firerager.

The swamp crocodile was a monstrosity that was forty feet long (12.19 meters) from head to tail. It was a water and grass-type beast and its tail were enough to destroy multiple buildings at once.

One of its most formidable moves was the water earthquake which made the entire water shake area shake and create huge tidal waves.

However, there was a chance it would drop the skill book of the same move upon being killed. So that was something to look forward to.

Zack then dashed across on the water and jumped towards the crocodile. The beats open its enormous mouth and Zack could see its sharp pointy teeth ready to bite his head off.

But he stopped his jump and the last moment and rolled across the water. He was now on the crocodile's right side and before the beast could make a move, Zack summoned the fire element of Firerager.

The entire blade of the sword started burning with bright orange flames as Zack brought it down on one of the crocodile's legs. He severed the right rear leg off the crocodile's body and jumped on top of the beast.

The beast could only scream in pain

Zack then sank the blade into the beast's back. The scream grew even more painful as the damage notifications went off in his ears.

< -1200 hp >

< -900 hp >

< -1500 hp >

Yet the beast only screamed in pain as blood came out of its wounds. Zack knew that the crocodile had a huge health bar but despite dealing so much damage, it stood straight.

Zack himself only had 400 health points and would have probably been wiped out numerous times. This came to show how unfair the entire system was.

But fortunately, some more balance changes would soon come along with the food pill so for now, he just had to slay the monster he was battling.

WolfHeart on the other hand was using her own bow to damage the beast. Her job class was a hunter so she was an expert at using most weapons.

Though her bow was only rare ranked and her arrows were uncommon ranked, she couldn't deal as much damage at Zack's blows.

But she was slowly chipping away the crocodile's health.

< -100 hp >

< -100 hp >

< -80 hp >

That was when an idea came to her mind.

[ Lin Fan, attack the beast's legs and I will aim at its eyes. That should buy us enough time to kill it. ] She told Zack using private messages and immediately notched an arrow while aiming towards the crocodile's right eye.

Zack on the other hand pulled Firerager out and jumped down towards the crocodile's left leg. But that's when the beast decided that it had enough beating.

Its tail immediately whipped towards Zack but he managed to avoid it. He then struck on the crocodile's left rear leg.

At the same time, WolfHeart released her arrow as it flew towards the crocodile's right eye and hit it. She shot a second follow-up arrow and before the crocodile could realize what was happening, it lost both of its eyes.

< Critical hit! >

< -1000 hp >

That was the notification that WolfHeart received yet it was lower than Zack's normal damage. This was the difference between the higher and lower ranked weapons.

[ The mini-boss: Evolved Swamp Crocodile is using the super move, tsunami-quake ]

'So that's the real name of the skill.' Zack then looked in WolfHeart's direction to see that she was already wary of this move.

Sadly, she wasn't going to see it.

"Fire tornado." He then activated Firerager's special move and summoned two fire tornadoes at once.

The two tornadoes grew up to be 15 feet tall each as they started revolving with the bright orange flames. They were so hot that the water of the swamp was evaporating which meant that the crocodile's special move would be useless.

Zack then controlled the two tornadoes and sent both of them towards the crocodile, one from the left and one from the right.

< -1200 >

[ Congratulations on being the first two players to slay a monster above level 10! ]

[ +1000 reputation in Eizenburgh kingdom. ]

[ You have obtained the Title: Baron of Eizenburgh kingdom ]

[ You have received a new skill book named 'Earthquake' ]

Alongside all these things, Zack also gained three levels yet he looked confused.

'The crocodile was clearly using another skill yet I gained something else.' He was about to check the things he received when he heard a system notification.

[ Personal alarm: Sis is getting discharged ]

'Looks like I will see things later on.' Zack then turned towards WolfHeart who looked shocked by the rewards she had gained.

"WolfHeart, I will be logging out of the game for now." He called out as she looked at him with a confused expression.

"But wouldn't that mean that you would be teleported back to the previous inn you were in?"

"Check the information about this place."

WolfHeart did what Zack said and was surprised to see the new thing.

[ Mini-boss stage closing time: 35 hours 57 minutes

- Nobody except those who defeated the mini-boss can enter or remain in the place during the stated time.

- Player/players can quit the game and their avatars would remain in the same place.

- No damage can be dealt to other players while being inside the mini-boss fight stage

- After the time is over, all players will be kicked out and the place would close forever. ]

"This means that we can log out and continue while the event still going on?" WolfHeart asked with a surprised look as she hadn't expected to find such a place.

Inside her heart, she thanked Lin Fan, which was Zack, for teaming up with her and bringing her to such a place.

"If you want, you can continue the quest alone. I will be playing the game at the same time tomorrow in case you want to play together." Zack added as the woman shook her head.

"Fighting alongside you is the better option. I guess I will see you tomorrow then." The pink-haired woman said with a wave of her hand before she logged out.

"I guess I will too," Zack muttered to himself as he logged out of the game and was ready to go and bring his sister back home.
