Xinya and lting Snow looked at the red door in trepidation, they knew that the hardest boss they ever had to face so far in this ga was in there. Although they were nervous, they were also quite eager to see if they could kill it. If older players saw them, they probably laughed at them for being wary but, at their level, this was sothing to be wary about.
"Do you have enough health potions?" Xinya asked.
"Yup, I got tons, what about you?"
Xinya just looked at him. "Do you even need to ask?"
"Right, potion maker, dumb question." lting Snow replied with a smile. "Let's go in."
When they opened the red doors, a vile odorous black smoke blew in their faces, causing them to gag in disgust. A notification appeared in front of both of their eyes:
[You have entered a poisoned state! Your HP will keep going down until you leave this room!]
"Shit!" Xinya said when he saw the -1's appearing above his and lting Snow's head every other second. "How high is your HP?"
"It's only 500, what about you?" lting Snow replied.
"Only 250, we need to kill this monster fast," Xinya said anxiously.
Looking around the room, the first thing that Xinya saw was that the plants, that were so green and lush in the other rooms, were decrepit and dried up in this one. The room itself gave off a dead feeling. Xinya didn't see the monster but in the center of the room, on a bronze podium, there was a book covered by a glass case. Upon a closer look, he could tell it was a piece of Shilvak's book.
"I think once we touch that book the monster will appear," Xinya said. "Although, from where is the real problem?"
"How about you go get the book, if the monster appears close to you, I will jump on it, giving you ti to escape."
"Sounds good," Xinya said going nearer to the book, just as he was about to touch it, an attack pushed him away doing 30 damage to him.
The front of his armor was covered in blue goop, wiping it away, he finally saw the monster. It was a mishmash of broken potion bottles and different colors, all jamd together to make one giant mass. If Xinya had to liken it to anything, he would say it looked like a marshmallow that was cooked too long and was thrown into so glass.
lting Snow was trying his best to fight it, but he couldn't get near it. The thing's ranged attacks were frightening, every ti lting Snow got one step closer he was pushed back. He had no clue as to what he ought to do in this situation and it was making him very frustrated.
Seeing lting Snow predicant, Xinya had an idea. The monster wouldn't be able to keep them both at bay at the sa ti. If he starts coming after the monster, it would have to split its attention, allowing lting Snow to get closer and closer to it. With that plan in mind, Xinya drank down an HP potion and joined in the fray.
Xinya's assumption was correct, the monster began to split its attacks between him and lting Snow, at first lting Snow wondered why he joined in but, after a while, he understood what was going on. He began to advance on the monster every ti it went after Xinya, lting Snow knew he had to be quick, from the way Xinya was knocking back HP pots, if the monster throws a critical hit at him, he might die.
Just when lting Snow got in the distance where he could use his swords on it, the monster caught him off guard with an attack that pushed him back three feet. What was worse was that there was a sticky substance on him, that was causing extra damage to him. Shaking it off, he drank an HP potion and went back to it.
The monster was pissing him off, it was ti to take it down. Looking at his skill list, he saw that his speed skill had cooled down. He felt stupid for using it earlier, but if he knew it had a four hour, in real-world ti, cool down he wouldn't have. Although, in his defense, he had just gotten the skill and was eager to test it out.
Looking over at Xinya, who was trying his best to dodge the barrage of attacks that were thrown at him, lting Snow readied his swords and activated his skill, Sonic Run. Since his Sonic Run was only level one at the mont, it only allowed him to go 3x faster than he already was but that was perfectly fine for this monster.
lting Snow weaved through all of the monster's attacks, they couldn't even co close to hitting him, that's how fast he was compared to the monster now. It only took a couple of seconds before he was close enough to start doing attacks. "Drifting Cloud, go grab the book, I can handle this."
