229 Tricked (1/2)

”I have an idea!” Wang Yu suddenly shouted.

”If we throw all the torches upwards, that'll force the monster to fly down won't it?”

”Yes... but we don't have enough torches...” Fearless said.

Torches were a single use consumable item. A player could even keep them in his inventory after he had lighted it up. But once it left a player's hand, the system would take it that the player had stopped using the torch and the torch would slowly burn out.

Torches were not something that players would usually buy. It was only because Sanguine Warflag had previously explained that there were torches in the dungeon that Fearless even had the idea of buying a few.

It probably wasn't a very good idea to throw torches at the monster since they didn't even have many to begin with.

”No worries! We have enough!” Wang Yu chuckled as he ran towards a wall with a torch in his hands. Wang Yu used the wall to launch himself into the air, throwing the torch towards the wall as it landed between two rocks in the ceiling.

With the torch at the top of the cavern, the Flying Serpent loudly screeched as a whole swarm of them began descending.

The tanks were holding torches and defending the weaker players. The Magician's hid behind the tanks as they began to shoot spells at it. Even Wang Yu was standing by the side casting [Rippling Wave]. Very quickly the whole swarm had been killed.

Only after they had confirmed that all the Flying Serpent's in the area were dead did the players heave a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a reddish-yellow snake appeared in the air.

This snake was significantly smaller than those that they had encountered before. It was only half a metre long and exuded a misty miasma around it's body, giving it an incredibly mysterious look.

”It's a boss!”

The players quickly got into their battle formation when they read the system notification. Who would have thought that such a tiny snake would be a boss.

HP: 5000

MP: ???

Skills: [Fantasy Array], [Metamorphosis], [Riddle]

State: Metamorphosis 100%

A boss with only 5000 health... this really something to celebrate. This boss couldn't even compare to the normal monsters! It was simply a godsend...

”Stormbringer! Kill it!” Sanguine Warflag immediately shouted without waiting for Fearless to speak.

”Don't kill it...” Fearless knitted his brows and said.

Fearless had a strange feeling that something wasn't right ever since they had encountered the ghost wall.

As a beta tester of the game, Fearless had previously challenged the Hurricane Cavern dungeon in the past. But during that time, they had only cleared the normal dungeon, hardly anyone ever attempted to fight the elite difficulty and above.

Even though challenging higher tiered dungeons would mean that there were more hidden bosses like this Fantasy Serpent. Fearless had never heard of a boss being stationed at such an odd position. And such a simple boss with only 5000 health at that...

But Fearless' instruction was a second too late. Sanguine Stormbringer had already fired his arrow towards the Fantasy Serpent.

The Fantasy Serpent's form flickered slightly as it's appearance changed to that of Sanguine Stormbringer. Strangely enough, once the arrow struck it, the real Sanguine Stormbringer turned into a ray of white light...

”What the f*ck!!! What a despicable boss!!!” Everyone shouted.

Damn it. It would imitate whoever attacked it and would cause them to receive the damage that they dealt to it as well.

Archer's had very little health to begin with, thus there was no way that Sanguine Stormbringer would even survive an attack from himself given all the top tier equipments that he was wearing.

He had used the strongest skill that Sharpshooter's had in an attempt to kill this boss in one hit.

The boss suddenly opened it's mouth to speak after Sanguine Stormbringer's death.
