Second Life: Welcome to Gaia

Chapter 53: Gigantic Wicked Turtle

The Wicked Turtle looks like the cartoon version of the Grinch, with an evil smile and the green. It basically has only two skills, [Bite] and [Rapid Spin].

The turtle has such a powerful bite that it can tear off pieces of flash from the players, dealing a good amount of damage. Lose a thinger is the lesser worry the players will have.

The other skill is Rapid Spin, in which the turtle retracts his head and limbs into the hull, and started to spin, hitting everything around it.

When the Grouper Fishes died, Ye Yan started to attack the turtles. They have hard shells but this time, he was prepared and changed his fan for a hammer that he kept in his space bag. The only problem is that it is the worse kind of smash weapon sold, the cheapest in the shop.

Ye Yan bought a thrusting sword at the same time he purchased the space bags. Ye Yan also got a smashing weapon to cover all situations that there is a need for slashing, thrusting, and smashing weapons.

The turtles were weak to smash attacks, then Ye Yan used his hammer to hit it. Thrust weapon also could be used be he would have to always hit on the holes where the head and the limbs of the turtle is located, which would be very hard to do, even more so because the turtles keep using Rapid Spin to attack.

Soon, all three turtles were smashed and frozen until they dye. Sadly, they have crushed the turtles' hull so much that only one wasn't broken in the end, becoming one of the drops.

As it is extremely hard to keep the shell intact, the drop rate of the item is very low. They only got it because of pure luck.

The heavy armor is suited for tanks, thus Ashardalon got the item. Ye Yan uses a hybrid build and prefers not to use heavy armor, but medium armor. He uses his own straight and agility to deflect the monster's attacks instead of using heavy armor and being a punching bag for the monsters.

After Ashardalon changed armor, they continue swimming further into the tunnel. Now, the team looked like they were just out of a Halloween party, with one human, that looked to be a soldier, one adolescent puppy that took the dog paddle to another level, one wet werecat that is uglier than a wet furry cat, a chicken woman, a psycho catgirl, a bearded female dwarf, a barbarian half-orc, a crazy bitch elf, a bearded male human ice sculpture with a girl's heart, and a ninja turtle with a draconic head and a shield tied on his shell.

Ye Yan is the only human on the main team of the guild, which proves that humans are not very popular among players because it isn't strong or cool enough for them.

Prejudice has always existed and it seems that it always will. In the game, other races have some prejudice against human players, thinking they are too common, boring, and weak. And because of this, many players look down on Ye Yan before knowing him.

If humans are looked down on by the members of the Righteous Faction, among members of the Dark Facion it is even worse, because there is a predominance of heteromorphic races.

Ye Yan and the others swam until they got to a spacious area with a Wicked Turtle five times the size of the ones they fought before.

[Gigantic Wicked Turtle] (Chieftan)

Description: This turtle grew much bigger than the others of its species and become alone, without a female turtle to accompany it in its old age. Even if it bends, he will continue without a partner. To vent the frustration of not getting a partner, the Gigantic Wicked Turtle likes to kill those that were brave enough to pass through his territory.

HP: 5.000

The Gigantic Wicked Turtle is about 16.4 feet long (5 meters) and must weigh a few tons. If the turtle shell drops this time, it probably can be used to make a swimming pool for the guild. Looks like there is a mountain in front of them, and not an animal.

There are many plates forming the turtle shell. On each of their plates, there is a rune draw, which gives the turtle a mystical air.

As Ye Yan will fight using a two-handed hammer this time, and his abilities to dodge the boss attacks will decrease because he can't use his fan to help himself evade. That's why Ashardalon will be the tank this time.

That is the bad side of using a hybrid build. There will always be moments that Ye Yan will not be able to use his abilities and techniques to replace his lack of stats. Like now.

Ashardalon started the fight using [Provoke] on the boss to attract it and build a good amount of aggro at the same time.

Ashardalon was using his shield to attack the boss, but even his large shield is nothing compared to the mountain-like monster in front of him. He is trying to hit the boss's head but every time he attacks, the boss retracts his head.

When the boss does this with that evil smile, looks like he is playing around with Ashardalon.

As it is too hard to hit the turtle's head, he started to attack its shell. He continued fighting alone for a few more seconds until he signaled the others to attack.

They started to attack the boss with every kind of skill they know.

Conan and Harpy started to use a different strategy this time. They used their special skills that can damage the boss plus the help of Mage of the Cold Nights that is using her race skill [Frozen Touch] to change the property of the arrows, giving it the ice property.

Luckily, Frozen touch is a passive skill, thus Mage of the Cold Nights didn't need to stop casting her spell for the skill to have an effect.

Demon Fox and Harpy just need to make the arrow touch Mage of the Cold Night skin for it to change from neutral to ice property.

The problem is that they are doing it a little too fast and sometimes they poke her with the tip of the arrow, making her receive 1 damage every time such an accident happened.

It isn't really hurting her but he wants to make Demon Fox have a taste of it. Just thinking about how Demon Fox is afraid of Needles, brought a sadic smile to Mage of the Cold Nights' face.

Ye Yan started to hit the boss with his two-handed hammer and using Clive and Bash every time he can.

Sometimes he holds the hammer with his left hand for him to punch the boss using the skill Dizzy Punch that can stun the boss for a few seconds.

Sadly, he can't use Bash more than 32 times in the battle because this is the maximum number of action points he has. And as he isn't playing the tank role this time, he can't use [Provoke] to gain action points or he would take the aggro from Ashardalon.

Seeing the battle, Ye Yan thought about a creative way to increase the damage and help Ashardalon defended some of the boss attacks, like [Bubble] or [Water Gun].

At least it is easy to know which skill the boss will use because a specific rune on the boss shell will light every time he uses a skill. But this strategy will be left for later because he can't explain things for them now.

The Gigantic Wicked Turtle, like the turtles before, can use a curse to decrease a player's strength, but this time My Girl is aware of this and used Dispel on Ashardalon as soon as Ashardalon's attacks looked weaker.

My Girl's performance now earned a thumbs up from Ashardalon. He only changed a finger, but it makes the meaning completely different.

They continued attacking the boss and trying to understand the boss attack pattern as much as possible for they use this knowledge when challenging a hard difficult mode in the dungeon.

The boss is not a robot. His attacks will keep changing but certain moves will always repeat, helping them to find what they intend to do next.

They continue attacking until the boss became enraged and started to use Rapid Spin. He is so big and hard now that it is very difficult for players to do melee damage.

Ye Yan, maybe thinking he can act like Thor, started to swim with his hammer in front of him. He activated his skill Lucky Hit and started to move his legs in the water to push him forward to attack.
