Chapter 149 - The Southern Oasis Crisis And The Treasure Of Serbal (XI) (1/2)
It is viable to ask Queen Tanya to fight against Serbal but I didn't want to risk Quest Failure. Since she is an NPC, she is not counted as a player and also a follower since she didn't have a contract with me similar to Lina. I heard of a similar situation where a player asked the NPC to defeat the enemy. The NPC defeated the enemy but it was not counted as his clearance and he failed the quest because the boss that he cleared is a one-time spawn. So instead of taking the rewards, the NPC gained them instead.
It might be a bit harder but it isn't that much since the three of them will keep on throwing the potions I prepared beforehand. Those potions were meant to be used to Serbal if I meet him as a boss but never expected him to be one of the main bosses to beat to complete the Pioneer Quest.
”Just perfect!”
Spotting one of the statues, I charge up my hammer's strike and in one swing, I made a crack a little bit on its surface. The statues are too sturdy to destroy so it is not so easily destroyed and reduced to rubble.
CRACK!
Serbal who is still looking around to find me after I caught the attack meant for the girls when he spotted me next to the statue as I continue to break it!”
”You dare break my property!?” Serbal then raised his tail and slams it in my direction.
I swing my hammer to the ground and changed it to a cannon before launching one shot out of it. The recoil was strong enough that before Serbal's tail can even hit me, I am already out of his range.
BOOM!
When Serbal took out his tail, the statue that I just cracked earlier is no longer standing and was reduced to dust and rubble.
”Oy, big snake! Thanks for destroying one of my objectives! It really helps a lot and you just reduced the time I needed to break one!”
Serbal roared and his eyes glow red. The ground suddenly shook and earth spires appeared on the ground. I quickly dodged them all since I am already aware of Serbal's tactics of attacks.
Harmless Sparrow throws a bottle of the potion I gave her to Serbal just like I asked her to and the potion did its effects upon hit. Serbal is fuming in anger as he lashes out. While he is still busy lashing out in the surroundings and hopes he can break me, I shoot out the Cannon and it hit squarely to his eyes.
BANG!
As usual, that didn't do anything useful, it chipped away some of his HP but it didn't do much.
”Die! Little human! You will be paying for disturbing the sacred ritual with your life!”
Serbal then lunge towards me and since he is long, his body didn't move much and only a small part of his body only managed to move. Despite that, the length of his ”small part of his body's length” and his head is long enough that I didn't hesitate to run away from him the moment he lunges his face towards my location. His two large fangs and the smaller saw teeth of his will make anyone scream in fear as he follows you around.
He also does a constant mouth snap every time you get near his mouth. To other classes, this is a troublesome thing but for me who has all the abilities of all the classes in one character, there is no need for me to panic.
