volume 3 - Chapter c241 (2/2)
The battle was basically one to scavenge resources, at an uncharted territory that was found by some adventurers. To this day, Brendel can still remember the rumours of new species of monsters sp.a.w.ning in the area.
The Crystal Wights.
It was a living being with several hundred times the health of humans while having powerful Spirit abilities as well.
But why did it appear here? Wasn’t it going to appear 100 years later? In the uncharted Trentheim? Not here, within the protection of Mother Marsha!
Unless it’s not a creature formed from Chaos??!
Brendel was uncertain whether Vaude had such a creature a hundred years ago, especially at Aouine. But if it did, the game’s developer updated it too slowly. This phase was still part of the first update anyway. Along with that doubt, Brendel pulled out his sword as the Crystalline monster raised its hands to summon another spike.
In a blink, Brendel saw the trajectory of the projectile and smashed it to smitten. His hands felt numb from the impact. Although not using the Berserk skill of the Dragon of Darkness and the Enhancement Crystal might be the cause, it is no doubt that the monster posed a threat.
This monster’s Attack power is indeed comparable to Veronica’s, meaning it should be around level 40.
Brendel felt unease. Under normal circ.u.mstances, he would be elated. Despite having obtained the battle rewards, BOSS level monsters contain a lot of experience points, plus BOSS monsters usually carry around unique alchemy materials that cannot normally be found. But now, the tomb was shaking violently and could crumble at any moment. Also, it seemed that his opponent was not planning to escape.
The monster had a high Attack power, and it was agile as well. To spend all his energy to finish it off, Brendel might not have enough strength to escape. Despite him having an overwhelming advantage over Debilitating spells, it would take longer than a few minutes to finish the monster off.
Especially when the monster looked pretty intelligent as well.
“Let’s not play now. If you do, we might be crushed here, you know?” He spoke to his opponent, while slowly backing off in the meantime. Seeing that the entrance was so close to his eyes, Brendel breathed out a sigh of relief. But never did he expect the monster to leap at him.
“s.h.i.+t!”
Brendel activated the Dash skill and his body morphed into a comet that shot for the exit. The monster seemed to have predicted that, stopped and gave a trembling roar. The entire cavern shook. The exit flashed in white light, and a wall of thick crystals immediately conjured over it.
His heart sank. It seemed that if he wanted to leave this place, he would have to deal with the monster first. He silently cursed and turned to look at it. He did not expect to see the monster staring back at him as well.
Brendel was sure the monster was looking at him. Although it had no eyes nor a head, his instinct told him that he was being watched. After that, he immediately climbed onto the coffin and leap down it.
And he was gone entirely.
Brendel was sure that the depth of the coffin could not contain the entire being, but he gasped after thinking for a moment, “There’s a secret pa.s.sage!”
Brendel knew the intentions of the monster: It was to bury him in the cavern. But of course, it was not his first time meeting such a cunning BOSS. To mess with him, did it think that Brendel was a newbie?
