67 Chapter 68 (1/2)
I did not made an attack immediately that uses the power of Blood Drain. I wanted to use it once my HP was getting lower than usual to see how good the Blood Drain really is. I pulled out a few bottles filled with Grey liquid. I already used it on the battle of the bosses on Lesser Purgatory, it was the Petrify Splash.
”Petrify Splash”
SP:100
Description: Brews Petrifying liquid mixture. Can be thrown into the enemies and causes Petrify debuffs against enemies with range of 50-90% of success.
During the battle against the bosses on Lesser Purgatory, the petrify splash activated most of the time but that was because I have thrown at least five pieces of Petrify Splash to the boss. Even though there is one that won't work, that doesn't mean all of the Petrify Splash Bottles that was thrown won't work. There is a possibility that there is one bottle that will work.
This time, I wanted to make sure that the Petrify Splash works. This boss was very resistant against Petrify Debuff. I don't know how to trigger it but I usually go on quantity. I gathered 10 bottles and throws it towards the boss before backing away next to Harmless Sparrow's group.
”What were those bottles you have thrown?” Flaming Cutie asked. She might have not seen an Alchemist use that skill.
”Its an Alchemist Skill, Petrify Splash. Has 50 to 90% chance petrifying the enemy,” I said.
The bottles broke and its contents spilled to the leaves of the boss. A few of the Petrify Splash did not activate while a few worked and petrified the boss' movements.
”Its time! Attack! Be sure to attack the parts of the boss that are petrified!” I shouted.
An enemy that was petrified might have strong Defense after becoming a stone but there is a 30% chance that the petrified part or the whole part broke off, causing tremendous damage and can sometimes deplete all of its HP off. Since it was a boss, depleting the HP by breaking the petrified parts are not going to happen but causing tremendous damage is possible. That is why I ordered the group to attack them. Even though they have low damages, they can cause big damage if they managed to destroy a petrified part before it was healed.
Chk!
A petrified part that Thunderfire attack got chipped off from the boss.
-20,975!
A very huge damage! Seeing the damage that Thunderfire dealt after chipping off the part, everyone got motivated to attack.
Chk!
Another was chipped off and it was Lina's attack that caused it to chip off.
-20,975!
The same amount of damage was inflicted. However, the petrify Debuff was eventually healed and returned to normal. Everyone quickly backed off from the boss before the boss retaliated. Though they find it hard to trigger, they now find something that can help them inflict damage.
”Wait for a while, I will throw another batch later on. Leona, Lina and me will inflict a few more damage to the boss to raise the chance of inflicting the Petrify debuff!” I said to them.
Peng!
My sword clashed to the vines after the vines sprouted to the ground. Despite being able to parry the vines, I still got my HP chipped off.
The boss was very wild and attacked furiously. Harmless Sparrow and the rest made a frown. The battle lasted for 10 minutes but its HP is still around 64%. The boss was so strong.
”Izzzie! Use Frenzied Bear and Bear Transformation! Ferventure, use Sanctuary of the Sick on Izzzie, Harmless Sparrow, use Smoke Bomb on Izzzie and Harmless Sparrow, cast Forced Berserk on Izzzie! Pooshy, support on healing Izzzie don't mind me!”
”Got it!” Everyone nodded, before doing the sequence of the skills in quick succession. Those skills are considered combination. It was an invented skill by me in the past. I have a few guild members with these skills. We made experiments on what skills combined together can cause a very awesome attack. These combination is very good but it needs proper sequence and good teamwork.
Bear Transformation was the first skill being learned by Druid players so any players who played Druid would have this skill as one of their basics. With the combination of the attacks, the applied strength of Bear Transformation was amplified. What made it more interesting is that, adding the Frenzied Bear into the battle made it more harder. Bear Transformation has a hidden effect. As long as the Bear Transformation and Frenzied Bear are together, the attack speed and critical hits are amplified. It results into Berserk style though not really a Berserk mode due to the fact that their Defense didn't drop down. The reason I made Ferventure and Flaming Cutie use Sanctuary of The Sick and Smoke Bomb is to clear Izzzie from status effects and also to have Izzzie targeted less while inflicting huge damages. That way, aggro is not pulled even with the strong attacks. What amplified that more is the skill that Harmless Sparrow also casted. The Forced Berserk.
Forced Berserk is a skill that Magic Knights have. It forces the target to go berserk. Its not really a troublesome matter since it also helped with the lowering defense. Even with the enhanced attack, the defense drop so bad that it was actually pretty dangerous. I did not want Izzzie to face danger, we still have not encountered the hidden boss so we still needed to have full player team so I let Pooshy handle the healing to Izzzie.
This way, I can just do my thing here and attack. Izzzie rushed alongside with the Frenzied Bear and from the looks of it, they were very strong as they inflicted 2,000 and higher damages every hit on the boss and with the help of the foliage of Smoke Bomb, the aggro is not taken away from me who is currently attacking the boss. My HP dwindled to critical levels as I was also hit by countless of Vines. With the HP down, time to test the might of the skill.
I have 15,000 HP. It could be considered high and on par on small monsters on Level 30 above but I don't know if I can deal the same amount of damage. This 15,000 damage is considered measly at level 100 but it was really big at level 50 or lower. If I really reached above level 100 with around 30,000 HP or more, will I get to inflict that amount every time I use Blood Drain? Let's try then.
I dodge nimbly on the vines, I parry a few that tried to block me on my assault and when I get near the boss, I jumped up high and with Leona as my support that helped me gain momentum, I put my sword forward as I surged towards the boss.
”Blood Drain!”
The Terraform Sword suddenly raised its Bloodlust Aura and the blackness of the Sword glowed with Red runes around and a gripping shadow crept and grip my hand tightly like my sword and my arm felt like it fused together.
Pshak!
The Terraform Sword struck down on the Boss, piercing the petals of the closed flower. As the sword reached inside, the boss trembled and my sword also felt like it grown life on its own. A piercing shriek came from the boss as the sword also wiggled.
SKKKKKKKKRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
The sound was to devastating the even me struggled if I should continue to grip the Terraform Sword or cover my ears. Izzzie also backed away since the duration of Bear Transformation was done but they covered their ears after the ear piercing shriek.
