Chapter 58: Lunatic cultist

...

"You are...!"

"Hmm~? Do you perhaps know me? Though this is the first time we meet... Those eyes of you really scream that you know who I am... Fascinating"

I immediately took a step back and took out all the potions I had on my inventory as this guy wasn't going to be easy to defeat.

Heck, I'm not even sure if I will be able to defeat him! Even though his HP is several times lower of what it should be, I still couldn't get confident in fighting someone like him.

The lunatic cultist, a strange boss that absorbs the powers of the Mysterious Table and gets supernatural powers that rivals to that of even the player using the best armaments in the game. He is the penultimate boss you will fight right before the celestial creatures attack the world, and Cthulhu/Moon Lord emerges from the moon itself just to kill you.

However... He hasn't absorbed the powers of that Mysterious Table, so he is not as strong as his counterpart from the Hard-mode is... I think...

That means that I won't be completely obliterated in just one attack!

...

I think...

*Gulp*

*Gulp*

*Gulp*

"Hrgh!" A small grunt escaped from my mouth as I felt the incredible amount of new effects coursing through my body after drinking several potions in one go.

"Hmm... that's kinda unfair~ I came here unarmed, and here you are drinking all those potions and drawing out your sword... I thought this was going to be a fair duel between order and chaos"

"The only fair thing here is your horrible face under that mask you piece of shit..."

"Hmm... What a foul mouth, though your eyes are really intriguing, I thought you could only be an arrogant prick who could have underestimated me right at the moment he knew I was one of those many cultist he has defeated, But instead your eyes just show wariness and maybe a bit of fear...? Fascinating, truly fascinating... Should I just..."

*Shuugoooooosh!*

"...Take them out?"

...

The lunatic cultist moved at a terrifying speed right in front of Aspen, with his hand pointing right into his face.

[Inferno]

*Fugoooooosh!!!*

Soon, four giant fireballs were suddenly shot directly from his hand, burning everything on its path, and destroying a part of a house some meters behind them.

All on their path melted into nothingness and left only a few flames on the area that appeared into the nearby materials that ignited when they entered in contact with the amount of heat in the surroundings.

Aspen, that fortunately managed to dodge it on time by using his Hyper concentration mode, took out the finch staff and summoned 11 Birds with Neo being one of them, who soon launched themselves towards the Lunatic cultist ready to pierce through his body.

"Birds? I thought you could do something more interesting than this, dryad descendant..."

"Go fuck yourself" Aspen cursed.

Suddenly the Lunatic cultist lifted his hand and pointed it directly in the direction of the birds before waving it in a horizontal motion.

[Ice Arrows]

Eleven ice arrows suddenly appeared right in front of the cultist after he waved his hand and chanted the incantation, Then after some moments they shot towards the skulls of all the birds dashing towards him ready to pierce them in no time.

However...

*Fiu*

*Fiu*

*Fiu*

*Fiu*

...

"Hoh~? Nevermind then, this is plenty of interesting..."

The arrows, that were supposed to pierce through all the birds and kill them all, passed through their bodies as if they were ghosts and continued flying like it hasn't even impacted into something in the first place.

[Rock bullet]

*Bang*

Aspen that saw The lunatic cultist being distracted by the birds, chanted and shot a very sharp and fast bullet straight into the head of the Lunatic cultist.

*Ting!*

However, like it happened before, a strange dark aura appeared right into the place where the bullet was going to pierce and blocked it easily.

"Now, isn't this truly unfair~? You have the numerical advantage now! Unfair, unfair, unfair, uuuuuunfair!!!"

[Lightning judgement]

A giant orb made of pure electricity appeared right above the Lunatic cultist, and before Aspen could notice, He was struck by a lighting right into his chest.

*BOOOOOOM!!!!*

Aspen was sent flying and crashed against several houses until he finally came to a stop, the hubris of the house fell onto his body while his gaze was sightly unfocused due to the sudden impact on his body.

Suddenly, a translucent screen appeared right in front of Aspen's eyes, which brought him back to earth.
