(A Few Days Later)
On top of a giant hill, both Aki and Shiro could be seen standing wearing new gear that is a bit glamorous in appearance that shows how hefty the price it has.
Aki was seen wearing a white robe that looks like it belongs to a priest wizard hybrid with golden arrows all around the white robe. On his hands were a golden staff with a red crystal on top of it the shape of an orb, with runes lining around the golden staff, it seems to be a magical equipment of sorts that boosts the holder's attack potency.
Shiro on the other hand still wore his steel armor from last time with the only difference being is the giant sword that was on his right hand and a shield on his left hand. With a belt that seems to hold vials and concoctions, not much has changed with his look except for the new equipment.
And in front of them lay a giant snake the size of a house and as long as a series of houses that were rampaging around the hilly landscape that doesn't seem to suit the place because why would a giant snake want to live on hills?
"You ready to hunt a B rank Boss monster?" I said towards Shiro who looked at the Boss Monster Naga in front of us with its scaly body destroying the green verdant hills around it.
"Mmm," said Shiro as I cast Orc's Strength and Vigor along with Hobgoblin's Swiftness on both of us while a light sword extended on the tip of the red spherical gem inlaid on the top of my golden staff as it became a spear instead of a sword with its length but I didn't stop there and expended more energy to make it a great sword instead.
"Let's go!" shouted Shiro who chugged some of the potions on his belt that are protected with magic so you can't actually break the flask inside it while we both rushed towards the rampaging Monster Naga.
"Hiss!" hissed the large Monster Naga towards us as I cast tons of Light Arrows behind me that shot towards the open mouth of the Monster Naga, instantly damaging its insides while Shiro's great sword became coated in light that he swung towards the Monster Naga, creating a crescent beam of light that shot towards the Monster Naga bringing more damage in the process.
But the Monster Naga responded in rage by swinging its tail towards us but that was its mistake as Shiro went to swing his giant greatsword towards the house size tail without hesitation, and it was a great decision on his part as his greatsword became coated in light that went on to become as big as the tail itself and with one swift blow, Shiro's Mythical Class gift allowed him to cut through the giant tail with a loud grunt.
And with its tail cut, the Monster Naga hiss in rage as its eyes glowed yellow, indicating that its mental capabilities will worsen in exchange for greater physical prowess as we saw its bleeding tail already regenerating and with that, we rapidly rushed towards the Monster Naga before it could recover.
"Wind Blade!" I shouted while wind started to gather around me, with tons of blades of wind shooting towards the Monster Naga rushing towards us with red enraged eyes.
"HA!" shouted Shiro as his greatsword got coated in light again but this time, the path of his swing created waves of light and I instantly knew what he was going to do, so in response, I hastily covered my eyes and felt the air rumbling in front of me.
What happened was Shiro used the technique I teach him a few weeks ago and now he developed it to this degree already, being able to stop the rushing Boss Monster Naga that was going towards us was more than impressive.
I hastily opened my eyes to see that the Monster Naga was knocked away by Shiro and we hastily use that to bring in more damage while its eyes were flash banged by Shiro.
We instantly went to the head of the Boss Monster Naga and stabbed our own weapons towards its two eyes, making it blinded in the process as it became more enraged that it threw us far away from its head as we slammed towards two different hills.
"Kuwak!" I shouted as blood shot out of my mouth but that was child's play from my broken healing capabilities as my shattered ribs and bones became good as new with just a simple activation of my gift.
"HA!" shouted Shiro from the distance who jumped out of his little burrow that was formed when he got shot towards the hill and swung his Gigantic Light Sword towards the unsuspecting head of the Boss Monster Naga, and with one swift blow, the head got severed in an instant as the scorching heat from the light sword created a burnt smell from the now dead corpse of the Boss Monster Naga.
"Finally!" I said in relief while walking towards Shiro whose hands were full of bruises and tears as he overexerted himself in that final blow, but it was worth it though because we got a relatively intact corpse and it would bring us a ton of gold when we sell it back at the royal capital.
"Phew," said Shiro while taking off his helmet as I healed him in the process.
"How much do you think this Monster Naga will be worth?" asked Shiro who looked at the beheaded Monster Naga with a shine in his eyes.
"A few hundred gold," I said with a snicker as due to the sheer size of the Monster Naga, it will bring us a ton of money, from the meat to the scales, we will sell all of that for a huge profit.
"Wow!" said Shiro in shock as drool dripped down from his mouth.
"Told you it was worth it, let's level up our stats already," I said while looking at my status that has grown over the past few weeks we've been playing New World.

"Finally, all B stats, how about you?" I asked Shiro by the side who was lifting the corpse of the dead Boss Monster Naga aside to see if it dropped some skill books.
"Also all B," said Shiro as we saw a glimmer under the huge corpse and instantly helped him to push it away and we were greeted by 2 skill books!
"Nice!" I said as I picked up the bloody skill books and wiped away the blood to see what skill it is.
"Ooooh, Naga's Scales and Naga's Agility," I said as I gave the Naga's Scale to Shiro who instantly use it upon contact while I used the Naga's Agility skill book.

"Whew, that's a great haul for today," I said while patting the severed head of the Monster Naga.
"Well let's call our ride already," I said as Shiro nodded and shot a beam of light to the sky, and with that, we felt a series of rapid footsteps and shaking off the ground from the distance and saw a giant green pig rushing towards us with its cute rotund body.
"OINK!" shouted the green pig as we chuckled and waited for it to arrive towards us.
We found this very rare pig monster called Verdant Hill Pig that is the size of a very small hill and could transform into a hill by camouflaging, and also has insane defenses and vitality.
But the one we have is probably an alpha because it's larger than a very small hill is all I could tell, I was able to charm it because it has been hurt when we found it and with the simultaneous kind actions I did to save it along with my now more powerful charisma, we were able to charm it to being our mount that carries the monsters we hunt on a daily basis.
"You okay buddy?" asked Shiro as our very gorgeous boy stopped beside us.
"Oink!" shouted the giant green pig while I chuckled and fed it some of the severed chunks of meat from the Monster Naga which it happily ate.
"Is it good?" I asked as the pig nodded with a huge smile while nomming on some more meat.
"Well let's go back to the capital, we needed to hire some workers to get maximum profit from this bad boy like taking away the scales and meat," I said as I took out some ropes from my robe which me and Shiro use to hook the behead Monster Naga towards our B rank mount and after a few minutes, we finally finished attaching the snake to our mount and with a breath of relief, we got on top of our mount's giant body.
"Let's go!" I shouted.
"SQUEAL!" shouted our mount as it rushed towards the far distance where the royal capital is located and a great place to get money with the amount of hunting places near it.
AN: This is 1604 words, you're welcome.
So to lessen the misunderstanding and expand the world building, there are two types of Nagas, the humanoid ones simply called Nagas and the monsters called Monster Nagas.
The Sword of Damocles hangs above each and everyone one of you with its ever present threat of despair, so send me some power stones with your power of friendship and save the thousands perhaps even millions to come who will read this masterpiece immortalized in the tunnels of time.
