Chapter 203 – Smash in the Ass (2/2)
Having slaughtered over a dozen people, the boss reached Ice Witch and lashed out. As the paralysis wore off, the guild master parried with her sword. Clang! In an instant, she felt her body go numb from the force, and it knocked her back several dozen steps.
“Kill!!!” The remaining players cheered. Disentangling from the monsters attempting to block them, the team went to assist Ice Witch. Bravely, they flung themselves directly at the boss.
Pff! Pff! Blood splattered with each spear jab. Several players fell off their horses and couldn’t be more doomed.
“Hah!” A muscular knight was finally able to approach the boss after it struck down her nearby comrade. Seizing her chance when the boss hadn’t yet retracted its weapon, she leaped from her mount. Soaring through the air, the knight landed on the boss. She squeezed the creature tightly and imprisoned its arms. “Sisters, attack!” the knight shouted at the top of her lungs.
Witnessing such a scene, not only were nearby Ice Rose Alliance members startled, but even the male spectators endlessly exclaimed with admiration.
“Attack!” Ice Witch bit her lips so hard that they bled. As Ice Dragon Break was cast, an ice dragon materialized from thin air and tightly coiled around both the boss and the knight hugging it. The dragon blew out one chilly breath after another without pause until the boss was frozen into a chunk of ice.
Boom boom boom! All kinds of skills landed on the ice block, carrying all the rage of the Ice Rose Alliance with them. Amidst the endless rumbling, the girl restraining the boss was blown to pieces and fell away; however, the boss’ health sharply dropped to less than a tenth remaining.
“Wheat.” Fatty smacked the rodent on the head. Implicitly understanding, Wheat slowly ascended until they were less than a meter away from topsoil. The rodent opened its jaws and spat. In the chaos of battle, no one saw an earth bullet burst from underground and strike the Horse Specter.
“OK.” Fatty nodded. One only needed to land a single attack to quality for a cut of the loot. The beauties of Ice Rose Alliance, you can’t blame lil’ ol’ me for my sleight of hand. And, you guys don’t have time to loot all these monsters anyway.
With less than a tenth of its health left, the boss was finally enraged. A black flame suddenly blazed along its spear. The boss swung the weapon, and a wave of fire flared outward. Anywhere it passed, everything burned to ash. Even the simplest graze consumed human and monster alike.
In the blink of an eye, the players around the boss who’d originally had the upper hand were burned down to nothing. As of this point, only those players struggling with the monsters in the distance still survived. There were less than a hundred left.
After casting the first ultimate attack, the boss’s body slightly trembled. Apparently, the skill had used up quite a lot of its energy. However, its health had actually regen-ed above 10%.
“Ice Storm.” In this moment, Ice Witch truly had no time to think about consequences. The only thing she could do was attack with all her might.
Bam! A white light hit the boss. Tilting its body, the monster hurled its spear in response. With a clatter, the weapon pierced Ice Witch’s armor and impaled her to the ground.
“Guild Master!” The remaining players paled with fright, and they all rushed to save their leader.
The boss urged its horse closer. Grabbing the spear’s shaft, it directly pulled the weapon out.
Pfft! A gush of blood sprayed from the wound. With a pained smile, Ice Witch died in a white halo.
“We were so close…” Rosethorn’s heart grew cold as she watched.
The onlookers all shook their heads and inwardly lamented, It’s not that Ice Witch isn’t strong enough. Just, that the boss is stronger than her.
“Our turn.” Watching the players of the Ice Rose Alliance be killed one after the other by the mobs and noting the boss's health of little more than 10%, Fatty smacked Wheat and vanished.
“Huh?! That’s…?” Seeing a figure suddenly appear next to the boss, Rosethorn’s face instantly changed. “Damn you, Fatty! You actually have the guts to steal our boss! But, if you kill it, I’ll consider it as you helping us this once and won’t hold it against you!”
As Fatty made his entrance, players familiar with him didn’t know whether to cry or laugh, and those unfamiliar eagerly asked about him. “Damn! Who’s that fellow? He's so fierce!” Is this guy tired of living or something? You should consider the time and place even when KS-ing, you know!
Boom boom boom! The first attack was Wheat’s Scatterstone Rain. Over ten stalagmites screamed toward and struck the belly of the Horse Specter. While the damage was low, it was enough to pull the monster’s aggro.
After the head-on attack of the stalagmites, a low sound came from the back of the boss’s horse. Squick! Suddenly braying long and tragically, the mount jumped several meters in the air, nearly throwing its rider.
“Despicable!” All the people observing exclaimed in rage. The female players even spat with disdain and quickly turned their faces away to avoid seeing any more.
Fatty was standing right behind the boss, and a lance picked up from God-knows-where was thrust more than half its length into the horse’s anus.
Clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop! The horse galloped around like mad, knocking aside various monsters in its path. But, the more it ran, the more it suffered. The half of the lance sticking out from its butt glinted, continuing to ruin everyone’s eyes.
The boss pulled at the reins to no avail as the horse simply couldn’t stop. The mount frantically plowed a path through the battle and ran off into the horizon just like that.
“It ran?” Everyone was dumbstruck.
For a moment, Fatty was surprised. But, regaining his wits, he bellowed, “Your grandma! If Lord Fatty lets you get away, then won’t my trip here be a wash?!”
