Chapter 183 Intense Battle Against Elazoi

[How about you summon your Undead Army and surround the boss? All of them will die pretty quickly, but it's fine since you will need a new Undead Army of tier-2 monsters anyway].

'Alright. But this boss is now looking at me, so why is he not attacking me?'

[The fight will start only after you attack].

'I see,' Arkhen nodded as he waved his hand and summoned the Undead Army to fill up everyplace around the boss.

The guardian boss took this as an Arkhen as his eyes glowed intensely for a second, and he waved his hand katana horizontally twice in quick succession as a monotone voice left his mouth.

"Sinking Blade, Falling Star!"

Arkhen's face changed as he felt threatened and quickly flew up while creating force fields around him to defend himself.

*Swoosh-Swash!*

Two slashes! Just two fucking slashes and every single undead monster died! Those thousands of Undead monsters turned into motes as they were killed in one second!

'What the fuck was that?!! Also, he can speak?'

[That is the ultimate skill, and he will speak of the skill names he uses. Despite low stats, this guardian boss has highly refined and powerful sword skills. Be careful. You will definitely lose a limb or two and life too if you are not careful. You should have challenged this boss after you broke through to the 2nd-class, but it's fine. You can push yourself to the limit against this boss].

*Swoosh...*

Elazoi disappeared from his position and appeared five meters away from Arkhen in the sky before waving his sword again.

"Grating Wind Slash."

"Fuck," Arkhen cursed as he created multiple Force Fields to defend while also conjuring Slaughter Blades outside before attacking Elazoi.

However, Elazoi simply put his katana back into the sheath and grunted as powerful pressure exuded from his body.

"Sword Pressure Field."

The strange vibrating atmosphere that formed around Elazoi destroyed all incoming Slaughter Blades!

Arkhen backed off as he summoned his Dragon Blade, turning his right hand into the blade before...

Wave Severam, Fire-Type!

...

Arkhen knew he only needed to hit one full attack on this Elazoi from his Dragon Blade, and he would win. Alas, that was proving to be difficult! This Elazoi had a bunch of powerful skills and was super fast-moving or precise?! He would perfectly dodge, perfectly defend, and perfectly attack... Without any errors!

"Urghhh!"

Arkhen finally lost his limb as his left arm was cut off from the shoulder with a sword slash projectile that cut through five force fields like a knife through butter. He could only create five Force Fields because of the intense fast-moving battle, and If he didn't dodge this last attack, his body would've sliced into two!

'What the heck! I haven't managed to hit him even once!'

[Focus, my lord. You must reach your true potential. That Boss has the same stats as you. His speed is also the same as yours, no. Yours is a bit faster with a burst from wings, but not as stable as his. It's just that Elazoi knows how to move perfectly at a perfect opportunity. His skills are more powerful than yours in a way, but that's it. Your one attack from Dragon Blade can also kill him, while his attack can also kill you].

'With I had my Archion Draconic Armor repaired,' Arkhen said with a wry smile as he dodged another attack before putting both of his hands forward and releasing his SSS-rank skill...

Roaring Tiger Cannon!

A tiger avatar materialized from his palms as it roared before shooting a powerful dark orange energy cannon beam accompanied by a powerful gust of winds!

This skill also didn't do anything but since its impact was high, Elazoi would get pushed back, giving a few seconds of rest to Arkhen.

Arkhen then rained Elazoi with his Slaughter Blades, both from his Dragon Blade weapon and through manifested them in the air.

"Aika Blade Domain!"

A burst of sharp aura oozed out from Elazoi as a domain appeared around him, three meters in diameter with him as the center.

The domain was whirling with ethereal sharp blades and all attacks of Arkhen were shredded to dispersion.

'How the hell do I defeat him? All of his skills are freaking op,' Arkhen thought as he was frustrated.

[This is indeed getting difficult. You simply don't have enough expertise and powerful skill to outwit his combat ability and break through his defensive skills. But you can defeat him and since you haven't managed to do that yet, it means you haven't reached your potential to do that].

'I need to calm down and stop getting frustrated at all the fails,' Arkhen thought as he took a deep breath and saw Elazoi coming at him again.

...

After five minutes, Arkhen lost his right leg. But he was able to detect the movement pattern of Elazoi and started faring better. The frustrating thing was still Elazoi's skills being super fucking powerful, but he was seeing the chance to defeat him.

Arkhen had already started conjuring Force Fields as it was his main means of defending. He then focused on Elazoi, who was once again dashing toward him.

'This time, I will definitely grab him with my Demonic Grasp...' Arkhen thought as he focused.

"Sun Piercing Lunge!"

Elazoi paused abruptly, put the katana in his sheath, and then took it out at a quick speed before doing a stabbing motion.

'That!' Arkhen's eyes glinted as he also found the perfect opportunity to use his Demonic Grasp at that moment and released his attack!

The Demonic Hand appeared right beside Elazoi and grabbed him. Arkhen used his full power on the execution of this <Demonic Grasp> and tightly held Elazoi.

*Puchi....*

However, the Sun Piercing Lunge was like a long slingshot attack. It fucking passed through all the Force Fields without destroying them and stabbed into Arkhen's chest as Arkhen sprayed out a fountain of blood from his mouth, a stunned appeared expression on his face.

However, his stunned expression was soon replaced by a ruthless expression as he dispersed all of his Force Fields and unleashed Piercing Rain Blades from his Sarangan Dragon Blade weapon towards the Demonic Hand that tightly grasped Elazoi.

"Die!" Arkhen roared.

A small hole at the center of Arkhen's chest was bleeding because of Elazoi's attack but Arkhen held on and sealed the wound by spending some reality mote.

[Congratulations! Elazoi, The Master Blade has been defeated]

[You have unlocked the mystic region, Taywit Forest].

[You have unlocked a hidden building in the Taywit Forest, Skill Pavilion]

[You have gained a random Skill box as a reward for defeating Elazoi, The Master Blade].

Arkhen fell on the ground as he said, 'Velshi... use Reality Motes and heal me.'

[1279 reality motes deducted]

"Finally..." Arkhen took a deep breath and just lay on the lush ground of this peaceful forest. The fight was truly too nerve wreaking and exhausting. He grazed past death several times during the fight.

Fortunately, the last attack of Elazoi hit his chest and not directly his heart.

While laying on the ground, Arkhen said, "Velshi, take out the skill box that I just got."

A skill box appeared as it floated on top of him.

[Skill Box]

-Opening this skill box will give you a random Ex+ rank skill.

Seeing the description, Arkhen's eyes bulged out of their sockets! "A random Ex+ rank skill?!! Hahaha, of course, of course! I would've felt shitty to get anything less after that fight against Elazoi."

[Yes, my lord. This reward is appropriate. Defeating each guardian boss will give you unique and high-ranking things as a reward, just like this Ex+ rank skill box.

"Alright, open it! I can't wait."

The skill box opened as it turned into motes before revealing a shining scroll with black and gold patterns.

[Congratulations. You have gotten an Ex+ rank skill: The...]
