Fire spewed out from Kanlaon’s mouth and the Chenoo did not evade or even try to guard. The Chenoo suddenly disappeared from his location and only thistle is left on the ground. Sirius and Kabrakan dropped to the ground because the Chenoo is no longer grasping them.
The Chenoo disappeared from its location and suddenly reappear behind Creepysoo. Creepysoo did not react immediately and a huge arm swung at him. Creepysoo is sent flying and crashed towards a pine tree. The snow on top of the pine tree fell down on him and he is buried under the snow.
The others immediately tensed up because of what happened. Soleil carefully melted the snow that covered Creepysoo so that the latter could rejoin the fight. Vayu charged towards the Chenoo and he used a skill that made his feet lighter than a feather. Vayu is not even leaving footprints in the snow.
Vayu’s body sped up so fast that it created afterimages. He swung his sword towards the Chenoo but the latter managed to guard against. Vayu then did a quick turn and slashed at the right foot of the Chenoo in an attempt to disable it but it only produced a slight cut.
The Chenoo then whacked him away like Creepysoo but Vayu managed to guard using his sword. Vayu was still sent flying though as the Chenoo had more strength than him. Adrian used Blink to immediately shorten the distance with him and the Chenoo.
Adrian even applied Chrono Shift on himself and Chrono Lag towards the Chenoo. He wanted to slow down the reaction of the Chenoo even more so that it would not evade his next attack.
“Soul Searing Crescent Wave” Adrian chanted.
A wave of blue energy that is filled with black, gray and white streaks came out of Adrian’s sword. He empowered the skill with nether energy to make it more powerful. The Chenoo blocked it using his gigantified hand but the sword wave just pierced through it and made the boss scream. The nether energy crept towards the Chenoo’s distorted soul and damaged him much greater than anticipated.
[You have dealt 124,248 damage to the dungeon boss, Chenoo.]
Adrian’s attack made the Chenoo stand still for a few seconds so others poured their long range skills. Levin Cloud immediately used Holy Smite while Peridot used Blinding Ray that she stored in her floating gem. Golden thunder struck the head of the Chenoo while a golden laser is fired at its front. The Chenoo once again screamed in pain due to the elemental attribute suppression.
[Levin Cloud dealt 51,789 damage to the dungeon boss, Chenoo.]
[Peridot dealt 31,789 damage to the dungeon boss, Chenoo.]
[Peridot dealt 31,747 damage to the dungeon boss, Chenoo.]
[Peridot dealt 31,247 damage to the dungeon boss, Chenoo.]
…
The Blinding Ray skill that Peridot unleased is a holy attribute dps spell that is great for immobilized targets that are weak to holy attribute damage. The Chenoo could not move as it is assaulted by the Blinding Ray while Creepysoo managed to regain his footing and immediately used a weakening curse on the Chenoo.
Soleil also joined in on the attack and created a fire tornado that made the Chenoo scream louder. It was not pleasant for the ears of the party to hear the painful screeches of the Chenoo. The scream is like a combination of an old man and a feral beast’s scream.
The barrage of long rang skills ended but Solstice and Vayu closed the gap to strike the Chenoo. When the two swordsman is about to land their sword strike, a shock wave was released by the Chenoo that blew everyone up to ten meters away.
The Chenoo’s form started to change from a man and more towards an undead beast. The old looking man started shedding its fa?ade and the Chenoo grew up to five meters. The eyes turned wolf-like while half of its face is missing chunks of flesh. Some parts of its body is are also missing chunks of flesh and its skin is now covered in dirty fur.
The mouth of the Chenoo became inhumanly wide with sharp teeth and its saliva looks like blood. Its body is also covered in a clothing made of tree branches, leaves or thistles. Its ribcage is now bare open and the only remaining organ is its heart. The heart did not even beat as it looks frozen like ice. It had sharp inhuman claws like that of a wolf with also missing chunks of flesh in it.
Although, the party only managed to shave off about 20% of its health, the Chenoo finally showed its true form. It has yet to enter its berserk state but the Chenoo is actually looking really angry towards them.
The Chenoo let out an inhuman roar and it disappeared from its position once again. The others raised their guard up and Kabrakan hurriedly went towards Levin Cloud and Peridot who are in the back line. By instinct or just plain lucky prediction, the Chenoo appeared behind the back line party members.
Kabrakan immediately raised his two towering shields in order to block the strike meant for Peridot. The two claws of the Chenoo is brought down and Kabrakan felt the heavy weight of the attack. Kabrakan actually sunk one feet below the ground due to the heavy weight of the attack. Creepysoo did not waste this chance and used his binding skill.
“Grasp of the Undead!” Creepysoo shouted as a wave of energy went to the Chenoo.
The Chenoo is pinned down by the emerging skeletal hands and Creepysoo started bombarding it with all the hexes it has. It seems that Creepysoo did not like being flung away towards a tree. Kanlaon did not let go of this opportunity as it fired its breath attack towards the bound Chenoo.
Soleil also started spamming the Chenoo with fireballs that she could conjure continuously. Peridot started making lots of clay soldiers and sending it to the Chenoo. Levin Cloud and Saena is healing Kabrakan while Vayu and Solstice is pulling him up.
Adrian who is seeing this scene could feel that something is wrong because it was too easy. They were basically just spamming their skills towards the boss monster but it looked like it was letting them do it. Before Adrian could warn them, the Chenoo gave a skin crawling sound again and disappeared from its position.
Adrian is shocked because it manage to use a movement skill despite being rooted. This could only mean that it used a skill that can negate status effects for a certain duration. The whole room suddenly experienced a blizzard which made all of them see less.
The blizzard started raging more until they could barely see each other despite being only at least five meters apart. A scream sounded from the distance and it came from Creepysoo once again. Adrian used Blink to go towards the sound and he saw the Chenoo strangling Creepysoo.
If Creepysoo was of a race that needed to breath then he might have been dead right now. The Chenoo is actually pulling Creepysoo apart. Adrian immediately decided to command Sirius to use Ragnarok. An intense energy enveloped Sirius and he became a blur.
Sirius reappeared in front of the Chenoo and his attack landed at the Chenoo’s frozen heart. A disfigured scream is released by the Chenoo while Creepysoo is let go and landed on the snow. Sirius though became the new target of the Chenoo after it recovered from its previous attack.
Sirius did not have time to evade because of him in a weakened state. The Chenoo struck Sirius and the latter is sent flying but Kanlaon managed to catch Sirius. Sirius’ health dropped by 50% while Creepysoo’s health dropped by 30%.
Adrian made a realization that the Chenoo is actually hitting much harder the more it gets damage. It is basically a berserker that increases its attack if it loses a lot of health. This type of boss monster is much more difficult to kill if the fight takes too long. It could basically one shot them if it loses 90% health. .
The Chenoo is much more deadly because it has a movement skill similar to Adrian’s Blink skill. The Chenoo could basically use its movement skill and execute the low health members of the party. Adrian immediately shared his findings in the group chat.
The blizzard raging made it difficult for the group to actually coordinate because if they move just a few feet away then they would lose vision of that teammate. Vayu’s sword glowed green and he jumped up high. He swiped diagonally and a huge tornado materialized that blew all the snow away and it revealed the location of the Chenoo.
Solstice became frustrated because she did not even manage to hit the boss and she felt useless which she hates feeling. She immediately sacrificed 30% of her health and made numerous blood swords. She also jumped high up in the air and shot those swords towards the Chenoo. The swords that struck the Chenoo became blood chains that continuously bound and tightened up.
Adrian decided to immediately use his trump card because they will lose this battle if it is prolonged.
