Chapter 62: Realm of Light part-5

As soon as they saw a large pair of eyes with Vertical Slits, even without Garvin's warning, everyone already took out their weapons.

Just then, the eyes vanished as if it doesn't exist.

While everyone was taken aback by this sudden, they didn't relax and started walking slowly.

"Everyone, be alert. No doubt that's a Snake. Creatures like them tend to ambush in the forest." 

Garvin, who is in the lead was stepping carefully without making any sound while keeping the Shield ready to defend at any time.

Meanwhile, Wil was scoffing inside, "What a coward. You are all level-200 soldiers with epic grade armor and yet you worry about a mere Heroic grade mob? Those soldiers in East Ocean city are way better."

Just then, Wil heard a sound in the silent forest like something clashed.

*Clang*

As soon as Garvin's Shield hit something invisible on the way, they saw eyes appeared again but this time, a lot closer.

No, it isn't that the eyes were closer to them. It was in the same spot. They were the ones who went near to it.

As a huge tongue that's split up at the ends appeared; Garvin, who was at the forefront, quickly jumped back to dodge the attack.

*Hiss*

An angry hiss was resounded in the surroundings followed by an appearance of a Giant Golden snake with a Gem on its forehead. Strangely, for a snake, it has eyelids, of course, without any eyelashes.

Meanwhile, Wil inspected it while cursing Bran in his head as he didn't remember this forest having a Guardian. After all, the video he saw was an edited one by a professional.

Latzeis

Grade: Heroic

Level: 200

Hp: 52,000,000/ 52,000,000

Description: Latzeis is a Light Cobra, who serves as the guardian of the forest of light. Its favorite habit is sleeping. It attacks whoever disturb its sleep. Staying in the realm of light for so long made it learn light element magic.

Upon reading the description, a frown appeared on Wil, "Light magic? It must be invisibility. This kind of invisibility is different from an assassin. Once it closes its eyes, none can sense its existence unless one is an Ascended."

They saw the Giant cobra raised his upper body and spreads its hood. As it looks at them from above, it hissed again and revealed its sharp fangs as it opened its mouth to breathe out fire.

Looking at it, Garvin shouted as he slammed his heavy shield onto the ground, "protective Barrier".

An energy barrier appeared on all of them, blocking the Fire.

"Healer Athelard, once the energy barrier dissolves, use area-wide healing. Blademaster Renart and Knight Gervas, both of you go all out. Trust in Athelard's healing abilities. As for Time Traveler, you just need to focus on staying alive."

After 20 seconds, the party-wide barrier on them disappeared while its fire breath didn't stop.

As Athelard used a party-wide heal so that everyone stays alive and has time to jump away, Wil flapped his wings and dodged the fire.

Garvin quickly used provoke skill to make sure its attention on him while Athelard jumped backward to stay in a safe spot while Renart and Gervas started to attack from either side respectively.

As the Cobra concentrated on Garvin, who not only disturb its sleep but also use provoke, meanwhile, Wil was weighing out his options while he glanced at the details of his ultimate one hit k.o. skill.

Heavenly push (Level 6): Control the element of wind and push your enemies 70 meters away from you with a 0% attack. For every 10 mana consumption, Attack damage increased by 175%. Range: 35 meters. Cost: 0 mana. CD: Depends on mana consumption.

"Hmm, I still have 5 skill points left. Should I maximize it? Nah, I'm only getting a skill point every 5 levels. Who knows what skill I will get at level-200.

Honestly, even if I use everything I have, I can hardly take out 8-9 million of its health, which clearly isn't enough to defeat it. Sigh… if only the legendary grade bow is unsealed…"

Looking at the Giant, which is attacking Garvin without caring about Gervas and Renart who are attacking it from either side, Wil mumbled, "With its heavy defense and only those gold grade weapons in their hands, this will be a long battle. 

After this battle, we have to go to the volcanic region and kill another one. It is obvious that I can't stay that long. Should I suicide and resurrect at East Ocean city?

Nah, if I do that, they'll suspect me and report to the King just the same. I need her favorability to increase to become the Earl.

How about a party wipe? Hmm, it's a better way. But, to do that, Garvin must die. As long as the Guardian dies, it'll be easy for the rest to follow."

Wil then raised his bow and conjured a Fire arrow and aimed at its eyes. But, because of constant wobbling, the arrow missed the mark.

Without giving up, he conjured a Fire arrow again and fired it again. It missed again as this time, the cobra bites Garvin while the latter reduced the damage as he defends with the Shield.

"Hmm, I guess I should wait for the right time…"

10 minutes later, as the cobra breathe out the fire with the intent of turning Garvin into ash, a smile appeared on Wil as he released a fire arrow and changed his target. It struck the Gem on the forehead and a light crack appeared on it.

As the Cobra didn't realize the damage, it continued to spew out the fire.

Meanwhile, Wil quickly released another fire arrow and shot at it continuously 22 times until he saw the gem broke.

*Hisssss…."

An angry hiss resounded in the entire forest as the flames turned greener.

*Ding. Latzeis went into Berserk state. It's attack increased by 100%

This time, it didn't focus on Garvin but instead to wipe out everyone, it started to spew out green flames all around. 

"Yes, this is it. But, this isn't enough to wipe out the party. After all, everyone has level-200 epic grade armor, especially those two even have heavy armors. Let's push into second Berserk state" Wil glanced at Garvin and others, "or maybe…"

Wil immediately used dash skill and dashed towards the enemy.

Looking at his action, Garvin shouted while continue to defend against the green flames, "what the hell are you doing?"

Wil replied, "Relax. I know what I'm doing. "

After nearing to its eye, once again, he conjured a fire arrow and fired at one of its eyes while it was busy with spewing out fire crazily. Since he shot from a close range, the arrow struck the right eye accurately.

*Hissss*

*Ding. Latzeis went into the second Berserk state. It's attack increased by 100%

As one of its eyes got damaged, it once again got enraged.

But, before any change happens, Wil took out the Book of Destiny from the inventory and used the Absolute freeze skill that was recorded on the first page.

Looking at the frozen snake, as everyone was taken aback by the sudden change, Wil shouted after putting away the Book of Destiny, "I used a special scroll that I bought for 200 gold coins. It'll be frozen for the next 5 minutes. C'mon, don't waste time. Let's go all out and kill it before the effects go off."
