SNARE is a Glyph Skill that he learned from Thea which is useful for restraining enemy movements.
The roots grew rapidly and wrapped around the monster's body.
"Now!"
Bi and Hiru immediately rushed towards the monster. Suddenly the monster's body emitted another white mist. Luckily, Bi and Hiru brought the black pearl so the mist didn't affect them.
Bi and Hiru dealt several fatal attacks to the bound monster and the monster was instantly killed.
Astrum felt when Bi and Hiru attacked, the bond of the snare skill weakened. He guessed it was due to the influence of the black pearl. Even if the snare's bond weakened for a moment it was enough to restrain the monster's movement.
Bi and Hiru returned to Astrum with proud faces and handed them the newly acquired blue pearl.
With this strategy, hunting this blue monster becomes easier. They continued the hunt for half a day and decided to return to where Arie and Aria were recovering energy.
Arie and Aria were surprised to see the Astrum group's harvest, in just half a day they managed to get 10 blue pearls. It was already the same as the stock of blue pearls they had obtained during their stay on this continent.
The beak clan rarely hunts this monster. These monsters were far away on the slopes of the mountain and the clansmen lived at the top of the mountain, so they had no interest in hunting these monsters. Moreover, they also do not know the function of the blue pearl.
"You guys recovered?" Astrum asked.
"Sorry to make you wait so long, our energy has recovered quite a bit," Ari replied.
"Alright, I want your help to find the boss monster."
"What? You guys want to target the boss monster?"
"Yes! You just need to find the location and let us take care of the rest."
Arie and Aria looked at each other with confused faces. They just found a crazy group that wants to target the boss monster.
Then Arie and Aria flew down the mountainside to find the location of the boss monster.
After a while, they came back with a report.
"Master Astrum, we may have found the location of the boss monster you were looking for."
"That location is 100 km from here."
"Alright, take us there."
Then they followed Arie and Aria to the location.
At that location, there was a white fog that was bigger and denser than the previous fog. This fog covers the slopes of the mountain to a radius of 500 meters.
"Master Astrum, what next? Are we going to use the same strategy?" Hiru asked.
"It's a bit difficult to lure them from this distance." Astrum saw the size of the fog was very large, even though he threw the black pearl it would not necessarily reach the center of the fog.
"You can throw this into the fog." Astrum handed the black pearl to Arie and Aria.
"Don't use your star power, just throw this pearl and then rush back to this location."
Arie and Aria didn't understand what Astrum was going to do, they just obeyed and flew high throwing the black pearl.
After the black pearl fell in the middle of the mist, the mist slowly evaporated and revealed a huge monster. Arie and Aria didn't understand what was happening, they rushed back to Astrum's location.
Astrum's group could see the huge monster moving toward them. After paying attention there is not only one monster but there are 10 other monsters following the monster.
The huge monster was 10 times bigger than the other monsters. Astrum could already guess that it was the monster boss.
"Astrum, can your skills withstand all of them?" Stella asked.
"I'm not sure either."
"Alright, I'll shoot some of the monsters and you take care of the rest." Stella gave an opinion.
"Okay".
The group of monsters moved swiftly towards Astrum's group.
"You guys get ready!" Astrum gave a signal to Bi and Hiru.
Astrum placed his hand on the ground and made a bigger glyph than before.
The monsters moved quickly without realizing what was happening. In just a few moments they had entered the radius of the Astrum glyph. As the monsters got closer, Astrum just activated the glyph.
When this Monster enters the perception radius, Astrum reads the monster's stats.
[Blue Monster Boss – Level: 30]
Power: 7
Defense: 8
Agility: 10
Perception: 5
Skills: Paralysis Domain.
The monster's level's much higher than Astrum's group!
The roots grew rapidly and bound 5 monsters and one of them was a boss monster, the rest were still moving freely towards Astrum's group.
Bi and Hiru realized that there were only a few trapped monsters, they rushed to block the attacks of the other monsters who were still free.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Before they could move, some of the monsters exploded. Stella shot the 3 monsters from behind.
Bi and Hiru were taken aback for a while but they continued their attacks towards the two monsters that were still moving freely.
Arie and Aria wanted to stop them from attacking rashly but they were also curious as to how this crazy group could hunt these monsters.
"Handle the bounded monsters! Leave the rest to me!" Stella shouted.
Hearing Stella's orders, Bi and Hiru led their troops to change their target to the bound monsters.
Astrum used a lot of energy to bind these five monsters, he felt his energy drain rapidly when resisting the movements of these monsters.
"BOOM! BOOM!" The two unattached monsters exploded from Stella's shot.
Bi and Hiru's group managed to kill 4 small monsters.
Suddenly the huge monster roared and tries to untie its bonds.
"Trak! trak! trak! "
The roots that wrapped around the huge monster were slowly being severed.
Astrum sensed that his energy had been drained to withstand this huge monster.
This monster released a denser fog than before. The fog rapidly expanded to a radius of 10 meters. The Beastros group was instantly trapped in the fog.
The monster used his skill: "Paralysis Domain!"
The beastros trapped in the fog felt their movements getting heavier. This skill is stronger than the previous monster skill. Luckily they were holding the black pearl so they could withstand the severe impact of this skill.
Even though they were still conscious, their movements were very limited. The monster's skills made their bodies stiffen.
"Damn it!"
Astrum relinquished control of his glyphs, he knew that these glyphs were useless against the monsters.
Stella shot several shots into the fog but the shots disappeared as they entered the fog. This was because there were several black pearls in the mist that absorbed the star power.
It was impossible to send his Star Beast to attack into the fog, he decided to attack towards the fog with Lilo.
He moved swiftly into the fog. When he entered the fog, he felt that his speed was decreasing. The effect of the boss monster's skill is weakened his speed. Even Lilo's movements slowed down.
He found the boss monster and start to attack from close range. The boss monster was in its domain, its speed was higher than Astrum. Realizing that this monster's agility stat gap was costing him he decided to change his stats and increase his speed.
[Astrum - Level: 27]
Strength: 10
Defense: 2 + 5 (7)
Agility: 11
Perception: 4
With this increase in speed, Astrum can move more freely in the monster's domain. But Lilo's speed is still stuck, Lilo can't help much in this domain.
Astrum fights fiercely, its speed can match the speed of the boss monster. But because he lowered his defense stat, the monster's multiple attacks offset his defense.
The monster's strength stats and Astrum's defense stats were at the same level, which was 7.
But because Astrum was in the monster's domain, its speed decreased by two points to 9. In terms of speed, Astrum was at a huge disadvantage.
He decided to increase his speed and lower his defense. This seemed like a foolish move, but he decided to use the best defense strategy of attack.
It was impossible to lower his perception lower than 4 because if he lowered it he couldn't read the movement of this monster.
Finally, he decided to allocate 1 point of his defense to his speed.
If he was currently careless against the monster's attack then he would be at a huge disadvantage.
Astrum's battle became balanced with speed, he was nimbly able to dodge several blows from the monster.
The monster's domain control is reduced when it fights the monster.
Bi and Hiru felt his body starting to move again and wanted to help Astrum attack the boss monster.
But before they could move closer to the monster, Astrum shouted.
"You guys throw those black pearls at this monster!"
They immediately followed Astrum's orders and threw the black pearl at the boss monster. When those few black pearls hit the monster's body, the skill domain instantly disappeared.
With his domain skill gone, Astrum's Speed increased sharply. This time the battle conditions were reversed, Astrum's speed was higher than that of the monster and Lilo was able to move freely.
Although Lilo's speed wasn't as fast as the monster's, he was able to deflect some of the monster's attacks. Astrum took advantage of this opportunity and quickly counterattacked the monster.
With the combination of their attacks, the monster didn't move. After a few attacks, the monster died releasing a blue pearl that was bigger than before.
Astrum immediately took the pearl and stored it in a different place, he was worried that the black pearl would absorb the blue pearl's energy.
The white fog had dissipated and revealed Astrum and his group were still standing above the corpses of the monsters. Astrum's condition was very messy, some of his body had wounds from the monster's attack.
Arie and Aria looked at Astrum's group in amazement, they have no idea how the Astrum group can kill the monster boss.
