Chapter 54: Gargantuan Cave Cleared!

Ren and the Maiden of Agony looked at each other.

Ren calculated his moves. If everything went to plan, he would reduce the Maiden of Agony's HP enough to trigger its [Berserk] mode. And then, like what happened to his fight with the [Midnight Phantom], he'd let the [Burn] status kill it.

But if something did deviate from his original plans, Ren was still fine, considering that he could defeat his opponent with just his ATP alone, provided that the Maiden didn't manage to land a critical hit on him.

Which Ren doubted since he already had its skill [Shadow in the Night] that made him invincible in the dark, nulling the Maiden's sneak attack.

The only way for the Maiden of Agony to win was a fight head-on which was less than a one percent chance of success since Ren's DEF and AGI were higher than the Maiden.

However, the problem was, now that his Meat Shields were killed, Ren didn't have someone to stop the Maiden of Agony's movement, and there was a chance that it could avoid some of his [Fire] since it was only seventy percent and not a hundred success hit rate.

It was a race on who could land their attack first.

Ren waited for the Maiden of Agony to make its move while putting on his [Phantom Cloak] for added DEF bonus. With the Maiden's low MP, it could no longer make [Multiattack]. That only left [Snuff Light], but it wouldn't work on him, so that only left the Maiden's [Long Bow].

Ren would wait for it to attack before unleashing [Fire] in that way, the Maiden of Agony couldn't move while she was casting her skill, and his [Fire] would surely hit it seventy percent to a hundred.

And as Ren expected, the Maiden of Agony made another [Long Bow] attack when both its arms regenerated.

This is it!

Ren casted [Multiattack], and all four [Fire] sought its target while the two javelins catapulted from the Maiden of Agony's shoulders and pierced him straight on the head before the two spear-like arms burst into particles.

– 27

– 25

[You have suffered from POISON]

–10% HP every minute]

–16 (POISON)

Ren just consumed [Health Potion] to regain his health, and he didn't mind the [Poison] status since it would go away after five minutes or less.

Ren's attention was focused on the Maiden of Agony as it shrieked and cried when all four of his [Fire] hit it straight on.

– 1324 Critical Hit!

[Maiden of Agony suffered from BURN

–5% HP every minute]

–250 (BURN)

ShHrRieEkK!

The Maiden's cry resounded in all corners of the room, and some debris and dust fell on the ground. Its mouth almost ripped half its head while its long slithery tongue slithered up and quaked with its cry. Its two arms regenerated at a rapid pace.

Its flesh rippled, and its muscles twisted, giving way to a form straight out from hell.

[The Maiden of Agony entered BERSERK MODE!

HP: 5 000

MP: 500

STRG: 30 + 15

DEF: 25 +12

MDF: 20 + 10

INT: 25 + 12

AGL: 30 + 15

LCK: 15 + 7 ]

[All status effects on the Maiden of Agony were nulled!]

[BURN was nulled]

In truth, the Maiden of Agony should have died with Ren's [Multiattack], but Bosses were given special features to retain +1 HP to enter [Berserk Mode].

The Maiden of Agony took advantage of its boost, and it charged toward Ren's direction.

Ren wasn't worried since its HP was still blinking at +1. The only advantage the Maiden had was its double ATP that would surely one-shot players within seconds.

But if Ren managed to avoid its attack and land an attack of his own, then it was a sure win.

Within a blink, the Maiden of Agony was right in front of Ren with its two sharp spear-like hands rising in the air, ready to pierce him in a fraction of a second.

The Maiden of Agony's smile was so wide its eight eyes squinted upward, giving way to a horrendous face. "Die!"

Ren was slashed into two with a strike of its arms before his image disappeared like static. Using [Teleportation] in the nick of time, Ren reappeared behind the Maiden.

The Maiden of Agony was baffled, and it couldn't react for a moment. It was about to jump to its webs and hide in the dark but was a fraction of a second late when Ren struck it with his stuff from behind.

– 2 Critical Hit!

And the +1 HP of the Maiden of Agony depleted from its health bar.

AaArRgH!

Its loud cry pierced Ren's ears before its body burst into tiny particles.

Ren grinned, and this time, he pressed

If he wanted to be a mercenary, then he had to let the others know about him, and getting first blood here and there would help boost his name and his group.

By now, Ren had already made up his mind to have two identities in the game. His Mercenary self would earn money from his services, and his Merchant self would hide his identity to sell rare items he acquired and crafted in the future.

It was a good plan if Ren said so himself.

It looked like only Ragnar didn't press , and this got Ren thinking if he really was Ragnar in the Leader board who didn't like fame.

Meanwhile, before Ren defeated the Maiden of Agony, Leonel was conversing with Ragnar in Venezia Village as a wisp.

Leonel: So, how did you die?

Ragnar: Pierce by its two arms because your friend would rather use his Fire to lower the boss's HP than help me

Leonel: *nods head. Seemed like Ren to me

Leonel: But he is a good friend . . . kinda.'

Isolde: Hey guys!

Isolde zoomed to Leonel and Ragnar as a flying wisp with big eyes and a smiling mouth.

Leonel: Oh, hey. Did you die too?

Isolde: Hm. Hm. Although I did, I died an honorable death.

Isolde: Listen to this. Ren almost died if not for me! I pushed him to the side and took in the attack that was supposed to end his life.

Leonel: Cool

Ragnar: Are you sure that you didn't just trip over and push Ren to the side?

Isolde: Of course not. I'm not a klutz.

Leonel left the Group.
