Chapter 83: Magnificent Boss Understanding
Harvard took a deep breath while he landed on top of the Great Slam Magician.
He had 5 Vitality left, which surprised him because he had 10,000 Vitality before the Great Slam Magician exploded. It was quite shocking. If not for the +6 Vitality he earned last night with Hot Yummy for fulfilling their marital duties in a tent, he'd probably be dead.
"Heal him, quickly!" One of Tilly's guild members, Katie, screamed, "You fool! You see! I told you we should've worked together! Ever think of just telling us which arms to cut off first? It's like you wanted to climb Mount Tai by yourself, but forgot there were dozens of people behind you to support you! Well look at your vitality! 5 more vitality, and you would've been dead!"
"I-I'm so glad we did it last night!" Hot Yummy rushed over to Harvard with tears in her eyes. "We-we should do it here, right now? Do you guys mind watching us… us put up a tent real quickly so I can make sure he's okay. He's cursed."
"Hmph, he's not cursed. He's just an idiot," Katie turned around and pointed at a healing maiden before she healed Harvard. "Now, idiot. Why didn't we get experience? What's taking so long?!"
[Hamlord has single handedly killed the Great Slam Magician]
[Hamlord has received 500,000,000 experience, and has received the nickname, Selfish Ham!]
[Hamlord has leveled up to level 54!]
'Damn it! Since when can you even solo kill bosses?' Harvard was sure that Snow Lilly hit the boss at least 20 times. "Look guys! I apologize! It was all a misunderstanding"
"You-you passed me on the leaderboard. Congratulations," Great Styles laughed and nodded his head. "I see how it is, Hamlord. You-you played your cards right, but now I'm no longer your friend! My wife! My wife is going to be so pissed at me now that you leveled up! I-I hate you!"
"What does your wife have to do with this?" Harvard laughed awkwardly. "Why do you all look so mad? I was just trying to defeat the boss. I-I only had three minutes. I-I thought it would share experience."
"Hmph, next boss, I'm taking the lead. You sit out, Hamlord," Tilly slowly buttoned up her shirt and patted May Tape on the back. "However, I hope you know that I'm going to be the one fighting the Kraken's now, and leading the battle! You failed!"
[You've been demoted from Vice Leader in the unnamed Guild to Scrub]
'I-I Don't even remember joining a guild. I thought I was in the Paladin Guild?' Harvard sighed and shook his head. "Anyways, guys, I think-I think you really are overreacting. I won't let that happen again."
"We won't let that happen again," Tilly winked at Harvard and held May Tapes hand. "Tonight, you're going to develop thanks to me and May Tapes team work! YOu just watch!"
"What? I-I don't understand? How are you going to teach me teamwork tonight?" Harvard watched May Tape and Tilly walk off and laugh. "Ugh, whatever! I-I still defeated the boss! They should at least give me some credit!"
###
Harvard made it down to the 256 staircase and the 16th step before they finally found another boss.
As promised, the rest of the team decided to fight the boss without him. It was a boss named Uncanny Nickel, and he was an extremely powerful round boss that tossed Lograms at Ghost Adventurers.
If a Ghost Adventurer happened to pick up one of those Lograms, he'd lost 10 Vitality. HOwever, if he didn't, eventually, he would literally drowned in a sea of Lograms!
[Uncanny Nickel]
[Level 56]
[The richest boss you'll ever meet, that uses Lograms as weapons! To defeat him, you'll need both brains and brawns and a whole lot of courage! When he gets down to 10 perent Vitality, he will drop Lograms worth 10,000 Lograms each! Only the most noble of hearts can defeat this boss!]
[System information: Tossing Lograms back at him will cause 700% extra damage]
'Damn it. I can't let them know I have a system, so how am I supposed to work with them! I can't just scream, hey, try tossing a coin at the boss! See how that works.'
'At the last boss, it might have taken us 10 hours too, if I didn't cut off the boss's arms in a certain order. We have an army behind us!'
Harvard turned back and saw some extremely large fish fighting dragons and a few giant ladies above him. He sighed. Those were definitely the Monsoon Kraken's Tank Snail Fish that did a lot of damage if they ever got close to you. This was so annoying! Those things would be down here any hour! And once they had them sealed in a small space, they'd almost instantly kill them!
Tank Snail fish were level 60 Quest Monsters that the Monsoon Kraken used judiciously to destroy certain cities. Since they moved at a rate of 1 Kilometer an hour, it took them along time to get to their destination, but boom! They could really destroy things if they finally made it to their destination!
A team of Ghost Adventurers had tried to kill one, but rather than bother trying to fight them back it just exploded and killed them all.
'Ugh, at least we're getting support,' Harvard watched Harvest King try his hardest to tank, but he kept accidentally flying into Snow Lilly's Butt or at least, Harvard thought that was na accident. 'Anyways, I suppose in the next hour, I should be able to think of a way to make up some sort of skill that could explain how I know all these boss' weaknesses… Hmm, think Harvard think!"
###
Harvard watched for an hour while Uncanny Nickel fought his guild.
Finally, he thought an excuse to explain one of his systems abilities. Since he had three classes, and no one knew anything about Magnificent Daylight Ruler, he thought of an ability Magnificent Understanding of Bosses!
'That sounds good right? That's a good title right?' Harvard walked over to a Logram on the floor and then tossed it at the boss. Instantly, the boss that had been regenerating at a constant rate opened its mouth in terror. It's bronze skin turned pale silver before one of its own coins hit it in the face.
The next moment, the boss fell of the stage, and died!
[Hamlord has killed Uncanny Nickel! He's received 10 percent of the experience even though he only did 1 percent of the damage!]
"You-you bastard!" Katie walked over to Harvard and attempted to push him but he was too good at dodging. "Stop! Stop moving! You deserve to be hit!"
"I have a skill called Magnificent Boss Understanding… Okay? It tells me what boss' weaknesses are!"
"Hmph, and you just decided to tell us now?" Katie shook her head, "You're the type of man I hate the most. And just you wait. I'll make sure that Tilly never sets foot in your bedroom! She'll be setting her feet in my bedroom! Just you wait!"
"I-I see… that explains it," Harvard put his arm around Katie and smiled. "So, would you forgive me if I got you two a romantic dinner in a hotel? I know the perfect place."
"Hmph, she'll only kiss me if I'm kissing you at the same time," Katie grabbed Harvard's hand. "Do-do you mind letting me come to your room tonight also? I-I'm nervous to tell her I like her."
'I think… I think, Katie, things will all work out." Harvard put his arm around her and looked down. She really didn't have too much of a chest, but her butt was so big it was hard not to touch it when he touched her back. It was just so perfectly round. "However, wouldn't it be better just to tell her how you feel? Not trick her by using me."
"Please-please let me use you to get to her," Katie smiled widely. Suddenly, her anger faded so fast that Harvard was somewhat scared. "In fact, three other girls like her. Can we all come on different nights?"
"I-I think I just went to Harem heaven," Harvard nodded his head, "Anyways, let's talk about this after we defeat the next boss! Now come on! Hurry! 2 more bosses to go before we make it to the bottom of the dungeon!"
