Chapter 614 - 559: Arwen (2/2)
Arthur asked the male elf, whose ears twitched as he turned around and faced the parasite.
Ar'wen glanced at the motionless giant machine that resembled a Cerberus. It had three heads made of dark golden metal and looked ferocious, to say the least.
It seemed to be slumbering but if they accept the bonus task, it'll wake up, of course.
”I don't see why not.”
The elf seemed like a very easy-going person and didn't consider Arthur as an enemy. They were rivals but, currently, they were allied together and it won't hurt him to obtain more points, if the opportunity arises.
Arthur accepted the task, causing the boss to open its gem-like eyes and glare at them. He was about to lunge at the enemy only for Ar'wen to stop him and say:
”Wait, I've got something that will help you.”
He handed him a white pocket that was similar to a charm, it shone with a bright light the moment it made contact with Arthur's hand.
*You received the buff: [Nature's Blessing]: All stats +10% for one hour.
Nature Magic will deal 150% more damage.
Nature Magic has a 30% chance to inflict a damage over time effect for 30 seconds.*
Arthur accepted the buff and transformed into a large thorny treant which rooted itself on the ground and attacked the incoming boss. Thick green vines sprung from below and stabbed the machine, they stopped its mad charge and even pushed it a bit. Since Nature Magic was buffed, he would not mind using it, after all, it's very strong but can easily be countered by Fire or Magma, for example.
Ar'wen jumped on one of the treant large branches and fired his a big wooden arrow which hit one of the cerberus' heads, breaking a part of it in the process.
The fight wasn't easy, however, thanks to their flawless cooperation, they managed to ware down the boss and pulverize two of its heads. It took them half an hour to reduce its heal to a third before it entered some sort of an enrage mode that boosted its damage.
At some point, it reached Arthur and tried to bite down the treant's trunk, however, it bumped into a watery and invisible surface, causing it to bounce off and miserably roll on the ground. It was then bombarded with a rain of arrows that pinned it down on the ground. Arthur followed with his Nature Magic, he made grass grow from the metallic ground, they wrapped around the cerberus and ten or so seconds, the boss was completely bound.
Ar'wen grasped this opportunity and shot a truly powerful arrow that even startled Arthur. The fast arrow was unimaginably big as it spiraled in the air and struck the target, destroying its last head and finishing it once and for all.
”Beautifully done.”-Arthur
”Thanks.”
The elf jumped down from the brunch and calmly put the bow back on his back, he didn't appear to be tired as he went next to the headless boss to examine it, not bothered by the destruction around him or the twitching body, which was frightening but harmless, nonetheless.
*You defeat Prototype-R0. You will be rewarded with 25,000,000 points.
Arthur MoonStar and Ar'wen will shortly be teleported to the Waiting Room.
