Chapter 60 - Gorgon part 1

While running Rook prepares the Inject Dagger to inject the monsters behind him, but he must find the right momentum and location to launch an attack on his target.

Meanwhile, Jak, who had already recharged his skill, immediately told Rook to hold his hand, which Rook gladly did.

While teleporting Rook had time to tell Jak something.

(After teleportation is complete)

Seen the two Looters were on a mountain not far from the forest where they ran earlier, and from there with his [Eagle Eyes] skill he saw that the two Gorgons were still in the forest area.

"How is it, do I have to shoot him while it's still far away?"

" No ... don't !!!!!!!!!," Rook states.

"Why? Just look at them, they're still confused."

"It's actually better that way, we just let them go around the forest until they're tired, then we'll attack." Rook said.

"Ok alright..."

"But you know that I have an arrow skill that can follow targets like a rocket launcher and then .... "

"It's useless, it won't work!!"

"After all, according to the information from the Monitor, these three monsters actually have fast-evade skills."

"Three of them evade skills!!!!"

"Yes, all three of them...."

"No way."

"That's right, no wonder they easily dodged my arrows, but it's a good thing you have that item."

"Yeah, so you can kill one of them.... eh!!!!" Rook shouted in surprise.

"What's wrong?" asked Jak confused.

"Jak...?" Rook asked as he sees something out of order.

"Where's the corpse of the Gorgon you shot earlier!!?" said Rook who saw with the Eye of the Specter where the corpse of the Gorgon (Euryale) was.

"What do you mean, isn't the body still there?" asked Jak, not understanding.

"(No, they should be running after us for at least a few meters... )"

"(So when are they....)"

"Ahhh!!!!" said Rook suddenly.

Seeing this, Jak asked, "Do you know something?"

Rook didn't answer the question and started to think about what really happened to that fallen gorgon, as Rook mutters to himself, he begins looking for deductions while hypothesizing as he finally concluded something.

"Oh I see!!!!"

"It's when they were crying earlier!!!!" said Rook while hitting his hand.

"Crying... what does a lost corpse have to do with a monster crying..."

"Isn't it obvious!!!!!

"They both ate their sister, the monster you shot just now!!!!" Shout with confidence.

" What .... !!!!!!! "

"That's crazy!!!!"

"What did they do it for!!!?" asked Jak horrified.

"I don't know but..."

"I think I know why they did it..." said Rook who heard a hiss from below.

And it's true, from below you can see the two Gorgons who have found them and it seems that their form has changed a lot, where these two Gorgons have 2 tails and 2 legs, then from their backs come out tentacles consisting of snake heads and their eyes grow into 4.

"Oh shit, Rook geez look what happened, I told you you should have let me shoot him!!!"

"It's useless!!!! you should've not forgotten that they have Evade skills which are very annoying."

"So what do you mean!!!! .....so I can't shoot it even if I use any skill!!"

"Of course not, because these two monsters (you know) can only be defeated by one thing." said Rook while taking a breath and then said.

" Mirror ... "

"Mirror...!!!!!!!!!!" Jak shouted in shock.

"Yes, mirror...."

"Don't you know about that?" thought Rook confused.

"After all this monster has been defeated many times in the same way by the previous heroes and has been told its weakness for generations..."

" ...and you said you didn't know that the Gorgons' weakness is a mirror."

"Of course not, after all, I really don't know much about ancient legends like this Gorgon."

"Oh.. really, if you don't really understand how you got to know just now by the name of this monster species??"

"Well ... if I know the name of the monster, as far as I know, their names are .... "

"Erm ... Medusa, .... and mmmm," said Jak confused while trying to recognize the names of the Gorgons.

"Huh .. ok ok I'll tell you, the one on the right is the oldest Stheno, the second one is Euryale that you shot earlier, and the last one is Medusa whose eye magic is the most powerful," answered Rook while explaining to Jak who was blind to legends.

"Hmm... ok ok, but answer me first Rook how did you know there is a monster like this in the Dungeon as far as I know there's only one boss here?" asked Jak curiously.

Hearing that question, Rook remembered the conversation he had with the Dark Merchant this morning before doing the Raid.

(Back to this morning.)

Rook was seen talking to the Dark Merchant in the toilet before the raid started (it happened to be quiet), where the Dark Merchant as a good friend gave advice on the Dungeon that Rook would later Raid.

"Secret Boss!!!!!"

"In this Dungeon?" asked Rook curiously.

Hearing that question, Dark Merchant could only answer while providing information through his Monitor.

" Right .... "

"The dungeon has a Secret Boss sealed in a statue in one of the caves in the Dungeon."

"This secret boss you are about to face is still related to the dragon race, namely the three serpent-men you know in your legends... the Gorgons."

"Oooohhh really ... do you think the Gorgons are strong?"

"Well... that's fine, they're also Legendary types so it's obvious...."

"Obviously they can at least give GXP, items, and other things that can make me more powerful than before."

"Right!!! ...but before that, I have something to say about those monsters."

"Firstly, these monsters all have the same deadly eye skill, you know what I mean right?" asked the Dark Merchant.

"Oh, I see, huh... their deadly passive skill."

"That's right, besides that they have another skill, which can get you into trouble."

"That is their evade skill."

"Skill evade?" Rook replied while touching his chin.

"Yeah, the three of them have different evade skills... look at this." while bringing up data.

"First is Stheno's evade skill, the eldest Gorgon because his body tends to be bigger than the other two Gorgons, his evade skill is where his skin will secrete poisonous sweat which makes his skin smoother and makes it easier to move."

"In addition, this skill of his can be used as a poisonous shield to neutralize all attacks, especially long-range attacks."

"Why... how can you do that, yes, the Evade skill can also be a defense as well."

"Of course, since these monsters are of the snake race they should be strong in dodging, defending especially when it comes to poison."

"Then the second, Euryale the second Gorgon, because of his smallest form the Evade skill is faster and more agile than the previous one, namely where this skill makes him very agile, but you have to be careful because when he takes out this skill the land where he is moving will leave a trail of melting poison." said the Dark Merchant with concern.

"Iiiishh scary, that means she's hard to catch huh!!!?" asked Rook curiously.

"Not really, although this skill is very annoying to the opponent, this skill has a weakness.."

" What's that? " Rook asked as his eyes widened

"The usage time tends to be fast, about 4 minutes after activation."

"Oh, I see, it's like if I'm not mistaken, the first time I used it was only 3 minutes," answered Rook while reminiscing.

"Yeah, so you just need to find the momentum to attack him, remember that all Gorgons must be attacked through their eyes if you want them to die quickly."

"Well, it's easy if that's all."

"Ok fine if it's still easy for you, but the last Gorgon you should pay attention to the most, Medusa.."

"Hmm... Medusa huh, the most dangerous Gorgon of all."

"Does he have an evade skill too that I should pay attention to, apart from that eye skill that's the deadliest?" asked Rook curiously.

"Yes!!!" Dark Merchant answered loudly.

"Because of this, she is often called the 'Queen of the Snakes', because she evade skill is where with this skill she can sever her body into several parts at once can regenerate."

"Oh yeah, don't forget, when I said regenerate I didn't just say the body that still had a head or that was still active, but that both bodies regenerated completely."

Hearing that, Rook was horrified himself, because it was rather difficult for him to fight an enemy who could regenerate like that.

It's true that can absorb the enemy's HP massively and faster than before but it's a bit troublesome if the enemy can continue to regenerate like this.

Because don't forget, because this skill has a rather fast time limit (even though it's now one hour 1 hour 20 minutes more) the time to use it, but that's still not enough.

"Oh yeah there's more.... besides that skill, Medusa still has other active skills that you need to pay attention to such as and .... which from the looks of it you already know this skill right?" asked Dark Merchant.

"Sure, if I'm not mistaken his eyes can shoot lasers that freeze his opponent and he can summon an army of snakes to protect him," replied Rook with a sigh.

"Anything else you want to know?" asked the Dark Merchant offering information.

"Is there any other way to fight this monster other than using a mirror, since as far as I know in that Dungeon there isn't anything that can at least be crafted into a mirror?"

"There's another way, just use water skills, after all their weakness is their own reflection, right."

"But how, you know I'm a gravitational element user?" asked Rook confused.

Hearing that Dark Merchant suddenly glanced at the Inject Dagger and asked.

"Rook that weapon." while pointing.

"If I'm not mistaken you said your gravitational power came from there right?"

"Yes, after I injected the Graviton Dragon I also injected myself and as a result, I got the power of gravity."

"Besides, I have several other elements such as fire, bomb, poison, as well as water and ice…ahh!!"

"Water ... ice," said Rook suddenly thought of something while glancing at the Dark Merchant.

Seeing that Dark Merchant couldn't help but smile as Rook finally get what he means.
