In less than 10 mins, they arrived at the home of Summa, the NPC. It was just a simple hut made of mud. It looked so old and frail as if the wind will. blow it away at any moment. If this were on Earth, one will live in fear of dying under the sudden collapse of the hut.
What's more strange is that the hut was located quite a distance away from the main street. Even though the town wasn't that big, it was quite strange to find a mud hut located that far away.
"We are here!" Summa said pointing at the Mud hut.
"Where is the Snake?" Xuan Yuan asked.
"Inside..." Summa replied.
"Okay, stay here and wait for me" Xuan Yuan said and Summa nodded.
Xuan Yuan unsheathed his common rank sword and entered the hut. Everything looked normal without any sign of abnormality. Xuan Yuan searched the rooms in the building but failed to find an earthworm talkless of a snake.
As Xuan Yuan was getting ready to leave, he noticed a figure curled up above the roof above him.
Although the hut's roof wasn't that big, it was not small either but a an enormous Red snake completely filled the roof.
Xuan Yuan was utterly terrified!
"Fuck!! is that a Divine Serpent? Why is it so big??" Xuan Yuan exclaimed. He was struggling internally to keep himself standing. If this was reality, he'd have fled without a second thought!
Confront the Snake? Is he Superman?
Xuan Yuan hurriedly escaped from the attack range of the Snake, standing with his back facing the wall!
The Snake slowly dropped down a part of its upper body with the rest still hanging on the roof.
Red Lava Snake (Warrior) Level 10
HP: 2500...
A snake that hang itself on a roof without support can only be found in the Realm of spirituality. If such a thing appears on Earth, Scientists will go crazy investigating what keeps it hanged!.
Red lava was abnormally big for a snake but either way, Xuan Yuan gathered his courage and faced it.
The Snake took a good look at Xuan Yuan before suddenly spitting a cloud of reddish gas at him. Xuan Yuan was surprised, what is this boss trying to pull off?
Suddenly he felt a stinging sensation in his eyes and in the next moment, he went blind.
' Fuck!! when did carbon dioxide become a blinding gas??' He cried. Just an exhalation from the snake and he went blind.
In life, one is as good as dead if blinded during combat. The eyes are really important during combat. While players are still at lower Tiers like this, Assassins are considered the most dangerous classes, why? Because they could hide from the naked eye with their stealth skill, and possessed incredible speed second only to that of rangers in game. Furthermore, they deal frightening damage so much that only Tanks like Guardian Knights and Shield warriors and Healers that could heal themselves could survive a hit from them. As for other classes, they'd be insta-killed if not careful. Even Tanks will have their HP in the red should an Assassin manage to stab them.
There was a saying that the dangerous opponent is not the stronger but seen but the weaker but hidden. Xuan Yuan is in a difficult predicament in his current blinded state.
He quickly calmed down and heightened his senses. If in the real world, there's nothing he could do. But this is a magical world.
Xuan Yuan had always been alone and even when walking in a crowded area, he could still maintain a silent atmosphere around him, as such his senses had always been sharp and could notice things ordinary people would find difficult to sense.
He calmed his nerves and shut his eyes. At this moment he couldn't see. But he relied on his extraordinary senses to determine the Snake's movements.
The Snake went around him a few times and confirmed he's indeed blinded. It then opened his mouth revealing red colored sharp tooth ready to strike Xuan Yuan. Xuan Yuan dodged to the side and used the advantage of the Snake's surprise to execute
Once it's injured, Xuan Yuan wielded his sword and began chopping, slashing and stabbing the Snake.
-100
-150
-200
-100...
Before long, the Snake's HP bar turned red as it got reduced to 30%.
The snake hissed loudly as it flung Xuan Yuan who was caught off guard several meters away missing a sizeable chunk of his HP. The snake grew 50% larger as it injured status got canceled immediately. Subsequently, its attributes doubled, its level increased to level 15 leaving Xuan Yuan dumbstruck.
'Fuck!! what kind of a skill is that?' Xuan Yuan cried.
The previous level 10 Boss was already terrifying enough and Xuan Yuan had to leverage on its injured state to beat it. But now with its level and attributes increased without the injured state, he was clueless on how to deal with the boss.
He felt a headache brimming as he watch the snake gather momentum. By then the blinded status had wore off too.
The Snake didn't spit the blinding venom this time, otherwise he'd be truly dead.
Xuan Yuan equipped the trash sword leaving both hands full!
