Chapter 53: Killing Two Boss Monsters Part 6
'Cragen spear piece: Dark gold rank equipment. For Spearman class only.
Strength+50, Vitality+50, Endurance+50
The mighty Spear skill: Passive skill. It adds a cumulative effect to the attack done by the spear. Each 5 successful subsequent attacks, the damage is amplified by five times in the 6th strike. Every 10 subsequent successful attacks, the damage is amplified for 10 times in the 10th strike.'
I held the spear with great joy, as I finally had wielded a spear that added stats, and also had an additional passive skill. This skill seemed to be helpful, as it was easy for me to land 10 subsequent attacks over any enemy.
I remembered that I didn't add the free points I got after upgrading, so I added them. When I finished, I looked at my main stats feeling more confident about the next confrontation with those boss monsters.
'Strength = 86
Vitality = 110
Agility= 24
Endurance= 51
Attack = 86
HP = 1100
Defense= 51
SPEED = 2.4
Attack Speed = 8'
Finally, my HP had exceeded the 1000 mark, so I could now fight with more ease. I also got a boost to my defense, which was something unintentional but it was good.
These spear stats were high, it even exceeded the points I had originally from my level. I recalled Shin's words about letting this spear after reaching a higher level, how could I let such a baby go? I would never do that!
"Now, let's go for another round with these boss monsters."
Shin said these words as excitation was obvious on his face. I smiled as he had four pieces now, which meant he either tricked Goda or made a trade with him.
When I noticed that big smile over Goda's face, I knew he had made a trade with him, and it seemed to be a very good trade for Goda.
"This time, we will start at the same time and then retreat together, so it will be enough for me and Shin to take the role of luring the monsters this time. The rest should be ready for dealing with the incoming monsters as usual."
"Don't you need a healer out there? Last time I barely saved your life," Mony said these words with enthusiasm; this little girl seemed to be so eager to test the new staff she got. I laughed as I replied:
"That time I needed to stall for time so Shin could bring the other monsters in the appropriate time, but now I don't need to do so. Don't worry; I will come back in one piece."
Then I looked at Shin as I said:
"Let's go, I will take the cragen's side, while you take the dragon's side."
"Cool for me, good luck."
"…"
I didn't reply as I entered immediately into the tunnel, this time I didn't fear this cold dark tunnel, I didn't fear this huge boss monster at its end, and I didn't fear the huge number of monsters flooded from that boss monsters, as this time I knew I was going to win.
No surprises, knowing your enemy's weaknesses, which was the source of my confidence.
In less than half an hour I reached the end of that tunnel where that boss monster was. I stopped for a few minutes waiting for Shin to confirm his position for me.
'I'm ready little princess, let's start.'
'Ok.'
As I confirmed with him through our private chat, I moved and stepped into that boss monster den. Once I entered, that boss monster appeared in front of me.
As Shin described, this monster had lost a lot of its size, and its power as well. It was still huge, but less intimidating to me, as the feeling of danger and death that I felt before was gone.
I didn't know if this was due to this monster loss of power, or due to my sudden boost in strength, or both. As last time, that monster roared while I retreated, then it generated a large number of smaller versions of it.
I moved back while these cragens were hot on pursuit. This time, I didn't retreat immediately as I did last time, as I watched patiently to confirm Shin's words.
That cool swordsman had keen eyes indeed, that monster became smaller and looked weaker after it used the summon skill or whatever the nature of the skill was.
So, it seemed the next time would be the last time to play hide and seek with this monster, and after that, we should come here and finish it.
'The monsters are after me, I can get to the team in 20 minutes, what about you?'
I sent this message for Shin, who replied at once:
'I also will be there in 20 minutes, don't reach before me, silly princess.'
'You just stop being a slow old swordsman.'
'…'
I then closed the private chat with Shin and opened the general team chat as I said there:
'I will be there with Shin in 20 minutes, so be ready.'
I closed the chat which contained a lot of encouraging words and much anticipation for the next battle.
I understood their desire to test their new equipment, as I got one spear only and got this entire boost to my power, so what if I had obtained one more? Three more? Ten more?
I couldn't imagine how powerful I would be, it seemed like Shin had told me once before, this game was all about items and equipment.
The journey to the team was free of any surprises, as my speed was higher obviously than these monsters', so I could keep a safe distance between me and them. In 20 minutes, I neared the location of my team, so I sent to Shin:
'Tell me you are near the team right now.'
'Don't worry silly princess; I won't miss my date with you.'
'Date?! Ok, fine, I will wait for you on our date, which will be the day of your funeral Shin.'
'Scary little princess, you need to change this wild nature of yours, or else you won't find a husband anywhere.'
'I'm already engaged, you blockhead swordsman. Stop blabbering and just come at the time.'
'Don't worry silly princess; I'm only one minute away from the team.'
I closed the chat and didn't reply to him, this stupid Shin always tried to tease me, if I didn't know his past life story I would have thought he was a moron or a retard.
I raised my speed to reach the team location in less than one minute, where Shin appeared from the other side of the tunnel as I pictured him, illuminated brightly by the red light of the dragons as if he was on fire. He looked cool, that cool stupid swordsman.
