Axie Online

Chapter 28 - Killed Dungeon Boss

Half an hour since the battle started, Rudy was finally free from the Dwarves' siege. If you ask why it took Rudy half an hour to clear himself from the siege of these Dwarves when there were only four people left, it was because one of them was a Dwarf Summoner.

As the name suggests, Dwarf Summoners are NPC enemies who have the Summoner Class Job, one of the advanced Job Classes from the Mage Class Job. This Job Class has the ability to summon creatures from other dimensions as subordinates and soldiers of the owner of the Job Class.

This Dwarf Summoner ability is also very high so it can summon mob monsters level 20 and above. Then not only that, but even the mob monsters summoned by this Dwarf Summoner also have various Job Classes, some have Job Classes such as Swordsman, Thief, Shielder, and even Mage. This really makes Rudy very troublesome.

Luckily, Rudy is with Violet who can attract attention from a distance with Job Class Gunner. That's why Rudy didn't have to worry about the Dungeon Boss, the Minotaur, attacking directly from behind.

Please note, Job Class Gunner usually also has skills that can attract the attention of monsters. Although not suitable as a Tanker, players with Job Class Gunner can make the enemy's attention focus on him and Tanker players can block the enemy's movement, then the attackers take action to kill the monsters. It was a collaboration that players in this world often used. Violet also has a skill that can attract the attention of the enemy, the name of the skill is Challenge Fast Draw.

From the name alone you can guess what this skill looks like, right?

Yes, Challenge Fast Draw is a skill that attracts the opponent's attention by pointing a gun at the enemy. Got it, right? It was like a cowboy who often appears in feature films, challenging the enemy as to who is faster in attacking. Not only can it distract the enemy, but the skill will also get a 100% critical chance and 50% Critical Damage if the player manages to attack the enemy first.

This skill is very effective against mob monsters that have low Dexterity stats. Especially on monsters and players who have a Job Class related to Mage. This skill will have a stronger effect if the skill owner has an extra Wild status.

The extra status itself is an additional status that is very rarely obtained by players. The status of this Wild depends on the player's appearance and the amount of Fame. The fiercer the player's character, the higher the chance that the player will get the extra Wild status.

If the player has an extra Wild status, it can make NPCs a little afraid and wary of the owner of the Wild status.

In addition to Wild Extra Status, many other extra stats can be obtained by players and NPCs. Unfortunately, many players hide the extra status as a secret weapon and a big secret.

"Sis Rudy!"

"Yes!"

Getting a call from Violet who was slightly cornered by the Minotaur on the wall, Rudy immediately ran towards the monster. He jumped and gave a s***h of Swing whose blade was coated with Stun Potion and Poison I on the Minotaur Boss' back so that the big monster's attention was turned towards Rudy.

Pababak!

"Roar!!"

The Minotaur Boss started swinging his two-handed ax horizontally with just one hand. With just one hand! That meant that the monster's Strength point status was so high that it could swing a two-handed ax with just one hand!

Rudy was a little surprised to see the Minotaur's ax swing, Violet was too. Both of them already knew that the ax the Dungeon Boss was using was a two-handed ax, of course, they were wide-eyed when they saw this rare sight.

"This monster's strength may be large, but its Dexterity must be small!"

Rud rushed forward while activating Hollow Swords, creating five semi-transparent black swords from the black smoke emitting from his body. The Hollow Swords directly attacked the Minotaur Boss' feet without Rudy's personal command, while he started jumping and gave a stab at the nape of the neck.

The Minotaur Boss roared in pain, but Rudy still didn't care about it. He continuously deals with consecutive attacks using his sword and feet for five seconds. When Rudy attacks, the Minotaur Boss can't move due to the stun status given by him's sword that has been smeared with Stun Potion before launching its action.

“Roar!!”

As soon as the stun status of the monster disappeared, the Minotaur Boss immediately raised his ax and smashed it to destroy the floor.

Boom!

The vibration of this attack made Rudy and Violet flinch a little staggered off balance.

This is one of the Minotaur Boss skills, namely the Groundwave skill.

Groundwave is a skill that can create large waves that can disrupt movement and unbalance the enemy for three seconds within about 10 meters from the user. This skill is suitable for Tanker positions and Job Class Assassin or Thief to escape from battle with strong opponents.

Not wasting any chance, the Minotaur Boss started swinging his ax at Rudy horizontally.

Slash!

Even though his balance was messed up, Rudy was still able to notice and react to the Minotaur Boss' attack. He raised his sword and gripped it with both hands to strengthen the defense.

Bruak!!

Unfortunately, the strength of the Minotaur's arm was so far beyond his expectations that Rudy began to fall 20 meters away, was dragged to the ground, and finally hit the wall.

BOOM!

With one indirect attack from the Minotaur, Rudy's Health Bar was immediately reduced to 32% from 79%.

The attack power of the dungeon boss monsters is not a figment!

"Ou-Ouch... The pain hasn't reduced at all."

Rudy started to take Health Potion I from Inventory and drank it until it ran out, as a result, his Health Bar recovered up to 40%. Rudy immediately ran towards the Minotaur Boss with the Hollow Swords skill that he activated again. Instead of feeling cornered, Rudy was even more excited than before.

While Violet was shooting at the Minotaur Boss using her weakest attack, Rudy took a stand-by stance. Rudy put his sword on his shoulder, then closed his eyes focusing his concentration on the Dungeon Boss.

When Rudy opened his eyes, everything around became a little slower including the Minotaur Boss monster's movements. He could see the Minotaur Boss and Violet's path of movement which was clearly slower than before. What Rudy is doing is not a skill, but a mastery of adrenaline.

By imagining and visualizing yourself being cornered to the extent of being life-threatening, your adrenaline will spike in an instant in a matter of moments. This is what Rudy is doing.

Rudy realized this Minotaur Boss was still busy with Violet, that's why his chance had come.

Without wasting any time, Rudy concentrated his strength into his feet and kicked the ground so that he shot far forward. Arriving near the Minotaur Boss, Rudy immediately swung the sword in his hand with all his might using the Swing Skill and slashed the back of the Minotaur Boss' knee.

The creature that was hit by Rudy's s***h could only roar in pain. Looks like the big monster didn't expect that Rudy could still stand up and attack after being hit by the GroundWave earlier. Of course, Rudy's stats of Vitality Points were quite high when compared to players of the same level as him.

"Flash Swing!"

Rudy who didn't want to waste this golden opportunity immediately jumped while spinning himself first on the ground. Soaring through the air, he spun around and swung four slashes accompanied by Swing.

The Minotaur Boss roared in pain again, this time the monster immediately slashed its ax backward without seeing the target hit or not. Unfortunately, currently Rudy is still in Adrenaline Mode which is able to accelerate his awareness and thinking ability by 20% of ordinary humans.

Rudy could see the trajectory of the Minotaur Boss' ax attack. Then after waiting for the perfect timing, he started slashing his sword with all his might using the Skill Swing.

Rudy spun in the air and landed his body on the blade of the Minotaur Boss' giant ax, then jumped higher.

Violet who witnessed Rudy's action could only be astonished, while the Minotaur Boss began to panic when he saw a small insect suddenly climb up his body.

When he was right above the Dungeon Boss's head, Rudy immediately thrust his sword with all his might. He aimed at the enemy's crown, as well as semi-transparent black swords resulting from the use of the Hollow Swords skill that stuck in the shoulders, neck, shoulder blades, and two eyes of the big monster.

Not stopping there, Rudy twisted his body position depending on his sword stuck in the Minotaur's crown right in front of his eyes. Then he used his weight and the pull of gravity to pull his sword vertically down the Minotaur's head.

Screchhhh!!

In less than ten seconds, Rudy managed to split the Minotaur's head in two vertically and immediately consumed the remaining Health Bar of the big monster.

Red blood gushed from the enemy's body, coloring Rudy's and Violet's clothes and bodies. No one could say anything after the murder happened, Rudy said nothing but 'done' then collapsed on the floor, while Violet was still dumbfounded by what she had just witnessed.

Then at the same time, players who were inside Lafos Cave found a semi-transparent panel containing a notification from the game system that the Lafos Cave Dungeon Boss had been defeated.
