Chapter 34 - The Hidden Boss of the Misty Forest

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, James Williams’ yordle reputation points had finally reached 50,000. If this number was announced now, it would definitely shock all the players on the Eternity Continent. If ordinary players wanted to reach this number, they would have to complete at least a thousand yordle missions.

Following which, the favorability points with NPC Bolton rose to 200 points, and his level also rose to level 21.

“Damn it, I can finally go to Tulas City.”

James Williams sighed. Although he had been exhausted from killing monsters for the past few days, the reputation and favorability points displayed on the interface were equivalent to the results of a few years of hard work by most union members. He felt that it was worth it.

Suddenly, an angry voice came from the depths of the Misty Forest.

“Who is it? You’ve disturbed my slumber!”

Accompanying the sound were waves of sound waves that reverberated from the depths of the forest. The earth trembled continuously as if an earthquake had occurred. The crows were quacking due to the disturbance. The yordle people were so frightened that they were hugging each other.

[Ding!]

[As you have killed a large number of wild monsters in the Misty Forest, you have become the first player to clear Misty Forest. You have disturbed the hidden boss that is sleeping here. If you choose to kill it, you will receive a generous reward!]

As expected, there was a hidden boss!

James Williams had long thought that this Misty Forest was not as simple as he had imagined. Now, the appearance of the hidden boss had confirmed his thoughts.

Rumble, rumble…

While he was deep in thought, a group of huge rocks rolled into the depths of the forest. Not long after, a huge stone giant with withered vines wrapped around its body appeared not far away. The stone giant was about ten meters tall and had a width of three people hugging each other tightly. Its body was dark brown, making it look very strange.

[Evil Stone Vine King]

[Type: Hidden boss]

[Level: 22]

[Attack: 540]

[HP: 60,000]

[Skills: Vine Entanglement, Vine Stone Protection, Despair Tombstone.]

[Description: The original guardian of the Misty Forest. After the fourth Dark Age, it became corrupted by the demonic blood and turned into a demon. From then on, it entered the battlefield as it wished and would destroy all the enemies it saw upon waking up.]

From the interface, James Williams saw that the Evil Stone Vine King’s HP was very high. It seemed to be a very difficult boss to defeat. It had a shield, had summoning skills, and a very good attack power.

However, everything was well balanced. This showed that it was mediocre as there were no prominent damage points or defense points.

“Sleeping friends, wake up!”

The Evil Stone Vine King reached its hands into the ground, and many tombstones appeared beside James Williams and the yordles. Slowly, some small stones that looked like the boss crawled out. They rushed towards the NPC Bolton and the yordles.

Bolton looked at James Williams in panic, “Friend of the yordle people, please protect us. You will receive a very generous reward after sending us to Tulas City!”

[Ding!]

[Game tip: The yordles have given you a temporary mission, Defeat or Escape. Defeat the Evil Stone Vine King or lead the yordles to escape from here. After completing the mission, you will receive a large number of reputation points and NPC favorability points from the yordles!]

“Accept!”

James Williams would not let go of such a mission. Anyway, it was just killing monsters. One more mission meant more rewards.

Shoo, shoo, shoo!

– 864!

– 795!

– 943!

James Williams charged at the boss alone and asked Little Green and Little Orange to stay by the side of the yordle people. He went to attract the aggro of the boss and lured the monsters away. This way, the smaller monsters would shift their target to James Williams.

The HP of the smaller monsters was actually around 3,000. James Williams did not expect this. The monsters summoned by the boss were almost the same as the small bosses in the Novice Village.

James Williams attracted the aggro of the monsters and began to deal insane damage. He activated Voodoo Barrier and slowed down all of their movement speeds. Together with the passive effect of Frost Landing, he increased his attack speed and critical hits. The monsters could only deal a few normal attacks and the high HP of the boss triggered the passive skill of the crimson equipment set.

An additional damage worth 10% of the enemy’s maximum HP would be dealt when attacking the enemy. Each attack could actually deal 1,400 damage to the boss!

– 1,452!

– 2,458! Critical hit!

– 1,576!

The Evil Stone Vine King’s HP was dropping rapidly. When it was left with 20,000 HP, it reached its hands into the ground again! The withered vines on its arms burrowed into the soil, and its HP began to increase crazily.

+ 3,000!

+ 3,000!

+ 3,000!

In just a few seconds, his HP was fully restored! The boss with 60,000 HP roared at James Williams once again.

The sound waves carried waves of wind towards James Williams.

– 345!

– 341!

– 391!

Because of the diamond equipment set’s buff, James Williams was now as strong as a tank.

Now, he had the HP of a tank, the damage of an archer, and the skills of a wizard. He alone was a full team!

“Roar! Puny human, you actually disturbed me. Sleep with me!” The Evil Stone Vine King stretched out its arm. “Vine Entanglement!”

The soil underground was as if it was being dug up by loaches. It was as if a creature was quickly approaching James Williams from the underground.

Luckily, the yordle people had retreated. Otherwise, they would all be trapped on the spot and be dragged away by the boss.

After a series of attacks, there seemed to be raindrops in the sky. Slowly, the raindrops fell on the ground and shattered with a bang.

Frost Landing! James Williams had triggered it!

A huge icicle appeared around the Evil Rock Vine King. The icicle mixed with the hail fell on its body.

– 1,543!

– 1,684!

The boss’s HP started to drop rapidly again.

“Damn you human! You actually have such a method?”

“Vine Stone Protection!”

The Evil Rock Vine King roared, and the withered branches around it seemed to have revived, slowly climbing onto its body to form armor.

– 943!

– 1,026!

However, the armor lasted for a few seconds before it shattered. As if the withered branches had been cut by a sharp weapon, they scattered onto the Evil Rock Vine King, and its HP became depleted!

The last normal attack ended up being a critical hit that dealt 2,453 damage! After ending its life, with a loud boom, the Evil Stone Vine King seemed to have lost its life. The crushed rocks rolled on the ground, and the withered vine slowly drilled into the ground and disappeared..
