Chapter 263: Boss Monster Raid (2)
Ice Prison was a skill that trapped one’s opponents.
However, since I rarely used this skill just like Ice Ball and Ice Bolt, I thought of it after I had my leg bitten by the boss monster.
Honestly, I underestimated the power of this boss monster a bit.
Anyway, the Ice Prison was quickly generated to trap the boss monster.
And it was natural that the boss monster trapped in Ice Prison could not move properly.
Bang! Bang!
Since the boss monster was so strong, cracks began to form all over Ice Prison every time it thudded against it desperately.
But I wasn’t worried at all because it remained only level 5, and hence its cooldown was not long. I didn’t upgrade it to level 7 because of insufficient skill points.
So, I launched all kinds of attacks again against the monster trapped in the Ice Prison.
And I used one more skill as the Ice Prison was likely to break down soon as it was already cracked in various places.
“Ice Blast!”
Bang!
The Ice Prison was destined to collapse anyway.
It was too wasteful for me to just watch it crumble, so I destroyed it myself to inflict damage to the boss monster at the same time.
[Khaaaaaaaaang!]
The boss monster roared in pain.
But its expression also became more fierce.
Obviously, my attack was paying off well.
Of course, I could hunt the boss monster more easily if I used my limited skill ‘Savant.’
But its cooldown was ten days, and I should have used it early on if I had wanted to.
Considering that the remaining hunting period here was less than 25 days, I could use it only twice. But I had to use it in the level 1400 and level 1500 hunting grounds, not here.
Anyway, I retreated and avoided the boss monster rushing towards me, but when it closed the distance, I immediately moved to the other side using Blink.
Then I continued to use the same skills to attack it.
“Ice Rain! Multiple Ice Arrow!”
[Khaaaaaaaaaang!]
“Just blame your slow movement, not my attack!”
Of course, I was confident of repelling the boss monster even if he attacked me at close range.
I was a bit surprised at the start because the way the boss monster attacked me was pretty unfamiliar, and drained my health too much, but I still had lots of health, let alone stamina.
However, I didn’t have to attack the monster at close range when I could at a distance.
And I was not interested in fighting inefficiently from the beginning.
Anyway, the boss monster turned around and charged at me again with an angry roar
However, I could keep up the fight thanks to Blink. And I even had the advantage because I could also launch counterattacks.
Moreover, the boss monster was now in the striking range of Ice Tornado and Ice Field.
When it closed in on me again, I used Ice Prison whose cooldown had returned.
“Ice Prison!”
Bang!
[Koohahang!]
“Hey, I told you clearly you can not touch me again!”
I didn’t move out of the Ice Tornado and Ice Field area on purpose.
While staying inside the area I used Ice Prison and Blink as if it had cooldown.
I also moved around as much as possible.
The battle lasted almost 30 minutes, but I could finally hunt the boss monster without taking any attacks aside from the first one.
[You have defeated the boss monster in the level 1300 hunting ground.
-You receive 100 remaining stat points for clearing the event.]
As soon as the boss monster collapsed, a message rang.
I was very relieved to see the message.
“...”
“...”
“...”
Everyone here did not even have any doubt about Asirante’s power because they saw it with their own eyes, so they were not stupid enough to deny it.
Nonetheless, it was impossible to explain the strength displayed before their eyes rationally. It was common thought that a user could not beat the boss monster in a one-on-one match, no matter how weak the boss monster was.
However, Asirante fought off and killed the powerful boss monster in the level 1300 hunting ground in a one-on-one match, which was completely baffling, even though they saw him fighting brilliantly many times before.
Of course, Asirante suffered a setback in the beginning when the boss monster attacked him successfully, but after that, he freely attacked the boss monster, which overwhelmed them completely.
Thud!
The boss monster fell to the ground, and at the same time, a message rang.
[One of your party members killed the level 1300 hunting ground boss monster.
-You receive 100 remaining stat points for clearing the event.]
Some people cheered at the message, but most couldn’t open their mouths for a while as if they were stunned by my performance.
The next day, I was inside the safety zone at the entrance to the 1400 level hunting ground.
“Please stay here. It won’t take much time.”
“....”
“....”
“....”
They were a little embarrassed at my words, but I left them behind and moved out of the safety zone.
Did I go to hunt again? No, I didn’t.
Instead, I moved normally some distance, then used Blink with zero cooldown to find the boss monster of this level 1400 hunting ground. Of course, normal monsters who discovered me charged at me, but none of them could attack me.
And after an hour of searching all over, I finally found the boss monster.
“Use Savant!”
[The most extraordinary stat among Strength, Agility, Stamina, Willpower and Intellect that Asirante currently possesses is Intellect.
-Current intellect: 36297.
-The Intellect value will be changed to 72594 for 30 minutes.
-10 days cooldown occurs when the retention time of Savant expires.]
Anyway, I used Savant straight away.
Then, I spread Ice Field and Thin Ice before using Ice Tornado in the center.
After that, I used my powerful skill.
“Blink. Blink. Blink.”
I continued to use Blink to avoid the boss monster’s constant attacks.
Of course, I used Blink primarily to avoid the boss monster, but at the same time I used it to make sure it could not escape the Ice Field area.
As a result, I could hunt the boss monster in less than 20 minutes although it was much higher than the boss monster in the level 1300 hunting ground that took me 30 minutes to hunt yesterday.
A message rang right away.
[You have killed the level 1400 hunting ground boss monster.
-You receive 100 remaining stat points for clearing this event.]
So, I posted a new message on the party window.
[Asirante: Did everyone hear the message as well?]
[Tamir: Yes...]
[Kali: It rang.]
[Super Beauty: Yes.]
I hunted the boss monster by myself, but since I was in a party with them, I thought of posting such a message because they should have acquired 100 remaining stat points as well.
Since I was alone, I could use Blink with zero cooldown freely, which made me very comfortable about hunting the boss monster.
Anyway, I also hunted the level 1500 hunting ground boss monster by myself.
When I scouted the ???? hunting ground, however, I could confirm that there was no boss monster, not to mention ordinary monsters.
So, during the remaining time after killing the boss monster, I led the 19-member party to continue to hunt comfortably until a message rang on the last day.
[The key to the New Hunting Ground has been deleted.
-You are being moved back to your original location.]
