Chapter 150 - The Southern Oasis And The Treasure Of Serbal (XII) (1/2)

Serbal's berserk mode is just terrifying but not impossible to defeat. He might be stronger than when he wasn't in his berserk state but he is in a much worse situation and is in a very vulnerable state. Since Serbal is a big snake, his movements are mostly AOE and will do a single target type of attack from time to time. Honestly, he was pretty predictable. But he is a dangerous enemy and I am not going to say he is easy to defeat.

So, what is the difference between destroying the three statues and stealing his treasures compared to the ones where the treasure and the statues are not harmed? The difference is the berserk state of Serbal. If you didn't destroy the statues and steal his treasure, once he enters berserk mode, his agility and defense are drastically increased and his attacks hit like a truck and I suspect that he gains a buff of [Ignore Defense] since he can destroy a tank with a SS rank in END stat in one single hit. I can't just confirm it because before we even get to confirm if he has a buff, we are already dead as we are wiped out by his AOE.

As for the berserk state of Serbal when his statues are all broken and his treasure is stolen, his defense drastically decreased, his attacks are now survivable and will not inflict a one-hit kill and his movements are a bit sluggish.

I prepared my weapon and ready myself for Serbal's attacks. I need to finish this one as soon as possible before he can recover from this state since this temporary vulnerability of his is not permanent and will disappear after a few minutes.

”MY TREASURE! GIVE ME BACK MY TREASURE!”

Serbal opened his mouth and tried to swallow me whole. Of course, that is not going to happen.

”I have a better one for you! Take this one and digest this!”

My weapon changed form, turned into a cannon, and fired off a cannonball straight from his mouth.

”GRAAAAAHHH!”

Serbal retreated his head and used his tail to attack instead. However, I already expected the attack, changed my weapon to a sword, and deflected the incoming tail. Once his tail is deflected, I changed my weapon into the Chronomancer's weapon, the Pocket Watch.

I didn't have any skills on the Chronomancer class just yet since I focused more on those class that has skills that can dish out some burst damages. But I didn't forget the Chronomancer class. I opened the skill tree and pick out one of the skills that can slow the enemy's movements and one passive that increases its effects.
