Chapter 78: Alpha Monster of the Aspiration Plains [Part 2]

The red jewel on the Mutated Carbuncle's head glowed brightly, signifying its increase in movement speed as well as the increase in speed of the Berserked Horned Rabbits with it.

Lux already knew that the Carbuncle was more of a support type monster, rather than an offensive one. Just like the Berserked Horned Rabbits, the Carbuncle was only supposed to be a meter tall.

However, the one that they were facing right now was at least two-meters tall, which was why Colette called it a mutated monster.

Lux didn't have time to open the Elysium Compendium and check what that 'mutated' meant, but he didn't have to be a genius to understand that it was a stronger version of the original monster.

'I just hope that it is still a support focused monst–'

Lux was unable to finish his thought because the carbuncle opened its mouth and released a barrage of sparkling golden diamonds, all of which were the size of fingernails.

"Skeleton fighters!" Lux summoned his Skeletons, which stood in front of the Dwarves and used their shields to block the unexpected magical attack from the mutated Alpha Beast.

When the dazzling attack receded, a third of the Skeletal Fighters' health was lost, which made Lux's face turn serious. However, before he could even think of a way to counter the Carbuncle's offensive, the four Berserked Horned Rabbits had already closed the distance, and rammed their horns on the Skeleton Fighters' shields, which sent them flying away.

Fortunately, although Colette and the others were young, they were not helpless little kids.

After the Skeleton Fighters were blown away, Colette, Matty, Diablo, and Ishtar all used their strongest skills to attack the legs of the Berserked Horned Rabbits, in order to lower their mobility.

The attacks successfully connected, which gave them the ideal results they were aiming for, but, before any of them could celebrate, the red jewel on the Carbuncle's forehead glowed once again.

A green light enveloped the Berserked Horned Rabbits, and the injuries that they had received got healed, allowing them to evade the follow up attacks of Colette and the others.

Lux summoned his Skeleton Grand Archers in order to deal range damage to the Carbuncle who stood behind all of his minions.

The Alpha Beast deftly evaded the rain of arrows that was aimed at it with its incredible speed. No matter what kind of attack was fired at it, the Carbuncle dodged it without fail, which made things difficult for Lux and the others.

There were times when they were able to seriously injure the Berserked Horned Rabbits, but because of the Carbuncle's healing abilities, the injuries the monsters received recovered at a rapid pace.

"This is not going anywhere, Big Brother!" Colette said as she smashed her mace on the head of the Berserked Horned Rabbit that had attacked Matty, who stood beside her. "We need to deal with the Mutated Carbuncle first!"

"Got it! Diablo, Ishtar, let's deal with that Alpha Beast first!" Lux ordered before activating his Battle Cry, which raised the physical and magical attacks of his allies.

He then ordered his Skeleton Fighters and Skeleton Grand Archers to assist Colette and the others in dealing with the Alpha Beast's minions.

The Skeleton Fighters, as well as the Skeleton Archers, were at the peak of Rank 1 Monsters. The Berserked Horned Rabbits might be stronger than them, but the gap between the two parties wasn't that wide.

The Dwarves were surprised when they realized how strong Lux's summoned Skeletons were. It hadn't been long since they fought against the Dark Draugr in the Bronze Crypt and came out victorious.

Because of that, they thought that if they added Lux and Diablo to their party, they would be able to fight the Carbuncle if all of them worked together. Never in their wildest dreams did they think that one of Lux's Skeleton Fighters were just as strong as them!

'Unbelievable,' Colette thought. 'Big Brother is really amazing!'

Matty who was fighting alongside Colette had also noticed the strength of the Skeletons fighting by his side and was dumbfounded.

'Just how did he get this strong in such a short period of time?' Matty couldn't believe what he was seeing. Although he knew that Lux had been rewarded with several Beast Cores by their families, it wasn't enough to create this many powerful Summons at the get go.

Without the help of the Carbuncle, the Berserked Horned Rabbits were slowly losing their ground in the head-on confrontation.

"I feel more powerful!" Axel gasped when the effects of the Battle Cry affected him.

Axel nodded as he fired spell after spell at the Berserked Horned Rabbit that was being pinned down by Lux's skeleton fighters.

"We can win this!" Helen chanted as she cast her own support spells to help her teammates become stronger.

The battle was quite intense, with neither side wanting to back down. The Mutated Carbuncle was fighting a three against one battle, while his minions were fighting four against sixteen.

Seeing that its minions' health had already fallen past fifty percent, the Carbuncle decided to use its healing ability to restore their health. However, Lux and Diablo were waiting for this exact moment.

Diablo pointed his sword at the Mutated Carbuncle and activated his special skill Duel [EX], which forced his enemies to exchange one blow with him.

It was similar to a taunting skill, but the difference between the two skills was that the Taunt Skill could be resisted, while the Duel [EX] couldn't. With an effective range of three hundred meters, Diablo could practically taunt anything that he had set his eyes on.

Although the skill had a one minute cooldown, it was still a very useful ability to break the enemy's momentum.

After executing the skill, the Mutated Carbuncle faced Diablo and screeched. Its healing skill was interrupted, and was now forced to charge in the Named Creature's direction.

Diablo, who was wearing his black knight armor, stood steadily in order to clash with the Alpha Beast that it had angered.

Ishtar had taken a siege stance and fired a Piercing Arrow, which flew towards the chest of the Carbuncle, making it howl in pain.

Lux extended his hand and shouted "Mana Drain" in order to deplete the Alpha Beast's mana reserves. The Half-Elf knew that this was going to become a battle of attrition, so he prioritized draining the Carbuncle's mana to stop it from being able to cast spells that would help its minions recover from the one-sided beating that they were currently suffering from.

The sword in Diablo's hand glowed briefly as he activated his skill, Heavy Slash. His sword met the Mutated Carbuncle's swiping attack. The sound of metal hitting metal spread throughout the surroundings.

Diablo's feet skidded against the ground, while the Mutated Carbuncle took two steps back after their collision.

Another arrow flew through the air and pierced Carbuncle's chest making it shriek in pain. Ishtar was a very opportunistic hunter and timed her attack at the right moment to deal significant damage to the Alpha Beast.

Lux also fired a Dark Arrow at the Mutated Carbuncle, hoping to blind it, but it failed.

It was at that moment when one of the Berserked Horned Rabbits let out a blood curdling screech before collapsing on the ground dead.

The Alpha Beast was immediately alarmed because it had completely forgotten about its minions since it was entangled by Lux and his two Named Creatures. Just as it was about to cast its healing magic on the survivors, Diablo smashed his shield against the Alpha Beast's face, interrupting its healing magic for the second time.

Lux understood that the only reason why they could overpower the Mutated Monster was because of the Carbuncle originally being only a support type monster. Among the Alpha Beasts in the Beginner's Village, it was the weakest.

To deal with it, everyone just had to kill its minions first before encircling it and hacking it to death. This was the typical strategy used when fighting against the Carbuncle, which had been proven effective over time.

Because it was unable to heal its allies due to Diablo's interference, the remaining Berserked Horned Rabbits fell one by one.

Just as everyone was about to encircle the Mutated Alpha Monster, it leapt high into the air in an attempt to run away. Diablo also used his own Leap Skill, following its enemy into the air, while Ishtar released another Piercing Arrow.

Although the sound of the whistling wind reached the Mutated Carbuncle's ears, the arrow was almost impossible to avoid while in air. Unable to evade, the arrow pierced its chest, breaking its stance. Diablo's Heavy Slash immediately followed after the arrow had struck true, smashing its back and sending it towards the ground.

The Dwarves and the Skeletons didn't miss this opportunity and ran towards the fallen Alpha Beast. However, Lux's shout made them all take a defensive stance as the Carbuncle once again unleashed another Diamond Storm as its last resort.

Just like before, the Skeletal Fighters stood in front of the Dwarves and shielded them from the unique attack of the Mutated Beast.

When the attack ended, the Skeleton Fighters' bodies shattered because their health was already low after fighting against the Berserked Horned Rabbits. However, this wasn't a big issue.

"Arise!" Lux ordered and his Skeleton Fighters rose once again to beat the crap out of the oversized rabbit that had killed them just a moment ago.

The pitiful Alpha Monster then found itself surrounded on all sides with nowhere to go. Diablo and Ishtar had already dealt significant damage to its legs. However, its ability to heal itself was getting annoying.

To deal with this, Lux used Mana Drain every time the Skill's cooldown ended. After a grueling thirty minutes, the Mutated Alpha Monster finally fell, transforming into particles of light.

It left several items on the ground, including an egg that was two-feet tall, which made Colette jump up and down due to happiness.
