Chapter 21: [ Enormous Gains and Rewards ]

This time I’m dead…….Uuugh I wanted to eat my mom’s food for the last time!

Thinking about the inevitable outcome, I accepted my defeat but then…… something flew from my right side hitting the BOSS frog’s eyes. Its movement came to a halt as it screams maybe because of the pain caused by something hitting in its eyes or maybe because of the anger it felt but what is important right now is the fact that it’s movement stopped for a second and during this time I had already recovered.

This time will be the end!

With the last ounce of my strength, I ignore my surroundings as I let out a yell which seemed to make the earth and the heavens tremble.

““Way of the Dragon God Fourth Form: Battle Dance of the Mantis!

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”

Wielding the Short sword with my left hand in a reverse grip, it suddenly let out a brilliant flash as it slides through the air. I can still felt the adrenaline which continued to rush through my head.

BANG!

With swords in both of my hands, I attacked with overwhelming speed that the swords appeared as if it was turning into a mist. The short sword in my left hand swept out and then followed by a thrust from my claymore in a very perfectly linked motion.

- Fatal blow struck. Adds 122% damage.

The wound I dealt from the past was hit precisely again!

Blue and red colored lines melded together as the continued onslaught of my attacks fell like meteors through the night sky.

With my nearly (Self-proclaimed) god-like speed coupled with my relentless one-point deadly attacks (Cryptanalysis) which doubled, tripled or maybe higher increased in my attack damage, the BOSS frog’s bar plunged into the red zone in an instant.

‘But it was still not enough’ I thought.

As the BOSS frog tried to recover, I hastily pulled my claymore back and resumed my attack stance. Using my short sword in my left hand and claymore in my right hand I once again started a combo.

“Way of the dragon God, First Form: Swallow beheading mountain

Aaaahhhhhhhh!!!”

In one breath, four cuts of my swords drew a beautiful track in the air concentrating in the wound from before.

The BOSS frog roared towards the ceiling and then………….. after a while its body froze and fell down.

Is it…….finally…….finished……?

maybe it was overkill but for now I don’t care! All it matters is that I won! I really won!

Feeling dizzy from the after effects of the battle as well as the accumulated fatigue, I suddenly felt as if the strength leaving my body as I collapsed onto the floor without a sound.

---00---

[ Chief Poison Fin Frog 0% ]

"Huff....Huff....f-finally...."

Slashing out my very last strike, my mind finally collapsed along with body.

From the upper right of my vision, I could see my have already entered critical point. If by chance he fight was prolonged for even a minute then it would become very dangerous for me.

Unfortunately, the clothes I'm wearing was now completely ragged and tattered.

"Haa~ such misfortune! I like this clothes you know~ because this clothes was given to me by mom yet.....haa~"

Well, things like these are considered normal to an average gamer or adventurer. Clothes, armor, weapon, etc. has limited durability so it's obvious that they will become worn out after such intense battle, especially when fighting a

very dangerous and powerful BOSS monster alone.

In the first place someone who just entered a game with level as low as level 4 challenging a BOSS type monster alone and yet won can be called as miracle. Such absurdity has never been heard before~

As expected of [ Fantasy Online ] who boast of its 98.9% realism, levels aren't just everything isn't it~

In [ Fantasy Online ] level is a universal value but, it wasn't an absolute value.

In battle, there is no such thing as an absolute.

The surrounding conditions, judgments made on the fly, reflexes, and numerous other variables were also applied.

Combat is where a significantly stronger person sometimes loses against someone who doesn't seem like they'll stand a chance. [ Fantasy Online ] also followed the same rule.

Of course, levels are still the most important. But, a significantly higher level only meant the probability of winning is infinitely close to 99%; it's still not 100%.

"Pfft...Ahahahahaha......hahahahahaha"

I was laughing like a madman.

Feeling satisfied and relief upon my miraculous survival on top of that I won towards an enemy which is obviously more powerful than me, I felt very ecstatic!

It was a success.....

I won against it.....

I defeated a powerful enemy and survived.....

These thoughts flooded my blurry and tired mind.

That amazing and dangerous fight was really exciting! although I almost died but it was a great and memorable experience!

The thirst, the excitement, the fear and the anxiousness during the battle was exhilarating and it makes my blood boil.

Lying in the floor while laughing and waving my hands and feet, I look like a child when it received its first present.

Fighting a life and death battle and then survive felt really wonderful.

---00---

Buuuuurrrrgggh!

Caution: Due to continuously moving without eating and drinking for quite some time, satiety less than 2%!

Moving became arduous as you no longer had any sufficient stamina.

As soon as my mind calm down from the excitement, a notification window suddenly appeared.

"Well, It's no wonder that this will show up after that super intense battle~"

Withdrawing 1 [ Hard Bread ] from my inventory, I ate it. My satiety level immediately increased by 10% but it's still not enough so I withdraw the remaining [ Hard Bread ] and ate it.

After eating, I stood up and picked up the loot the monster's frog dropped.

The [ Poison Fin Frog ] dropped 1 gold and 18 silver together and a couple of items.

Quite generous aren't we?

Money isn't really that important but what interest me are the items, especially the loot dropped by the BOSS monster [ Chief Poison Fin Frog ]

As expected, it didn't disappoint me in the slightest! "Appraise"

Poison Frog Leather (Low tier ) 3x

Poison Frog Leather (High )

Poison Frog Meat 2x

Blue Branch 2x

A seemingly ordinary branch, its special water qualities are bestowed upon the bearer.

Bonus: Gives 5% water resistance

Holy Freaking Norway!!!!!

"This.....This item is basically a cheat! oh my god!.....ahahahahaha......amazing...thoroughly amazing! As expected from a BOSS!"

Without much hesitation, I immediately equipped the [ Poison Gauntlet ]in my right arm. With this my survival ability rose up!

I can feel my own lips forming a smile.
