Chapter 40 The Great Lake Tortoise
Armstrong walked to the lake to clean up the blood on his body, while Armstrong was cleaning his face he look down and saw a big giant Tortoise inside the lake: it must be a boss Armstrong Said in his mind.
"Come and see this Henry" Armstrong screamed
An arrow shouts through the air, hitting the Tortoise in the head.
Although it only dealt a little bit of damage, there was still a noticeable spray of blood.
Great Tortoise Wax wailed and rushed towards Armstrong.
"Dammit, this Monster defense is insane: I barely even damaged it" Armstrong cried out in Suprise, he changed his weapon from the crossbow to a long sword and shield as the Tortoise rushed towards him.
While this was happening, Henry had climbed back onto shore and stabbed Wax in the tail.
-7!
He was shocked - what kind of defense was this? when he hit bosses from the Instance dungeon, he would deal at least 10-15 damage.
Wax was only Lv 3 boss but he could only deal 7 damage.
Wax sobbed like a baby: its cry was high-pitched and sad.
It opened its mouth which was densely filled with teeth and began attacking Armstrong.
Each tooth looked lethal, like the tip of a sharp knife.
It was scary earlier, but it turns out it has a very low attack. Armstrong breathed a sigh of relief after he was attacked.
System: Armstrong Charge deals 4 damage to Wax: Wax deal 8 damage to Armstrong.
The damage that Wax was dealing to Armstrong was not boss-status-worthy.
However, when they saw the HP, Henry and Armstrong's faces both went dark. 40,000HP.
This was 2 to 3 times higher than an LV5 Instance dungeon boss.
How many potions would they need?
No one would give up on a boss just because they were afraid of using too many potions.
They simply had no chance: for the sake of better equipment and materials, they had to challenge Wax.
Wax was powerful in the water, but when it reduced the shore, it became very slow.
It lay on the ground unmoving, this time Henry stood up and attack it.
This allowed him to attain an extremely high skill completion value, which in turn allowed for the boss to be stunned often and gave Armstrong some breathing space.
After fighting for 20 minutes, Armstrong had used 10 potions and the Boss had lasted more than half of its HP.
Amid the struggle, Wax suddenly moved and rushed towards the lake.
"Dammit, it's going to recover" Armstrong really wanted to slap himself.
Most amphibians and other monsters with a similar biology had the ability to return to a more suitable environment and recover a large amount of HP.
Under Armstrong and Henry's angry stares, the Wax bar slowly increased by 10. Not only did this mean that they have lost several minutes of their time, but there could be an even greater effect that they didn't know about.
"It's okay, let's pull it to the forest to fight it" Henry said to Armstrong.
They both felt exasperated, but the system didn't make any further announcement, they had already gotten this far and couldn't give up now.
Wax was slow in following, as they traveled further and further away from the lake.
By the side of the lake, there were many similar trees and tall grass that were all densely packed together.
Wax was having trouble getting through them, but the aggro system forced it to follow them.
They run for a long period of time and when they had gone far enough, Henry and Armstrong once again began to attack.
This time, when it reached 50%, Wax didn't try anything new. It simply made a futile effort to hit Armstrong's bronze shield. Not knowing what would happen if it spent too long away from the water, its damage was reduced by a significant amount. It HP went from 50%-35% without taking a single critical hit.
When it reached 30% HP, Wax began to twist its body and clumsy attempted to return to the lake.
"Block it" Henry rushed over, blocking the front of Wax, but Wax knocked him aside.
Knock-aside skill might have had a cool down, so Armstrong quickly copied Henry, This time they were able to successfully block the boss.
They didn't know how long it would stay in this agitated state, but after 30 seconds it calmed down once again. This signaled the continuation of their struggle in depleting it HP.
Armstrong's potions were almost completely used up.
He had used 11 potions in this fight, and if it weren't for Henry helping him loot the Gobin businessman this fight would have been impossible.
"I still have 6 bottles, it should be enough" Henry took out a few bottles from his bag and throw them onto the ground.
"You Keep one, just in case the boss goes berserk. I'm not sure if I can thank it all" Armstrong replied to Henry.
Victory was in sight, but neither one of them could guarantee that an accident wouldn't happen.
"If we kill the first wild boss, we could get on TV" Armstrong said smiling.
Henry laughed, his hand movement continues. He regularly produced an 85% skill completion on shadow strikes that stunned Wax for 3 seconds.
"Ever since I know you, I don't think you will like to be watched on TV" Armstrong said to Henry smiling.
"It is also part of my dreams to be watched on TV, but they are a lot of people looking for me in VRMMORPG and also in the real world, and also I don't want my Mum to Know am playing VRMMORPG she hates it" Henry replied to Armstrong
"Every Mom will like to see their son happy, but why did your Mom hate VRMMORPG?" Armstrong said as his hand movement continues.
"I don't really know, she usually gets angry when my Dad tells me Stories about VRMMORPG" Henry replied
"Ah, I think you should ask her the reason your self Henry" Armstrong said to Henry looking into Henry's eye
