East Meet West

287- Showdown with Big Boss and Side Bosses 2

Seeing that such a huge ball of fire was approaching it so quickly, the Level 1 Monster Stage Purple Hide Crocodile stopped attacking Orochi and shot a Purple Beam of energy towards the incoming Fireball.

Swish

The Purple Energy Beam clashed against ‘Fireball’ but no sound was produced. Instead, it was the Purple Beam of Energy that dissipated immediately after clashing against the Fireball.

But of course, the Fireball was not unscathed. Its size decreased by 30% and a small part of its power and speed got reduced.

Roar

Seeing that his attack failed and the fireball was still approaching it and was just a few meters away from it, the Level 1 Monster Stage Crocodile panicked as it didn’t have the time to cast another attack.

Swish

Just as the Level 1 Monster Stage Crocodile felt its death approach, another Purple Beam of Energy stabbed into the Fireball. And destroyed it.

BOOM

When the Fireball was destroyed, a few meters surrounding it was covered in the fire for a moment and then it dissipated.

The Level 1 Monster Stage Crocodile felt happy after escaping the death and gratefully looked at its leader because it was the one who shot the earlier Purple Beam of energy and saved the Level 1 Monster Stage Crocodile.

ROARRRR

But suddenly a painful roar echoed which startled the Level 1 Monster Stage Crocodile.

It doesn’t know when but Orochi suddenly appeared on the head of one of the Monster Stage Purple Hide crocodiles and punched heavily on its head. And the punching power was so great that his fist easily penetrated the skull and pierced its brain.

Such that, the Monster Stage Purple Hide Crocodile flinched for a moment and died immediately after issuing a painful roar.

‘ding’

‘Host has killed a Level-?? Monster Stage Purple Hide Crocodile.’

‘ding’

‘+55110 Exp’

‘ding’

‘Host has Leveled up’

‘Host has Leveled up’

‘Host has Leveled up’

‘Host has Leveled up’

.

‘FUSK..!!!’

Orochi shouted in his heart because just after killing one of the Monster Stage Purple Hide Crocodile, he received such a huge amount of Exp that his Level increased from 94 to 98.

So, how couldn’t he be surprised?

‘Yes... when I killed Ethan, at that time I received more than 100,000 Exp. No wonder...’

Suddenly, he remembered the time when he killed Ethan while he was trying to walk out of the Dark Forest with Armelia and June.

‘Then doesn’t that mean I can max out and reach level 100 if I kill another one Monster Stage crocodile.’

Thinking about this, Orochi looked at the remaining three Purple Hide Crocodiles as if watching a huge amount of money was placed in front of him.

Earlier, Orochi had already anticipated many scenarios when he used the ‘Fireball’ attack on the Level 1 Monster Stage Crocodile.

Like what if his Fireball misses its target?

Or what if his Fireball cannot kill the target?

Or what if it gets destroyed by the opponent's attack?

Or what if it dodges?

Like this, he also thought ‘What if the Super Monster Stage Crocodile’ helps the Level 1 Monster Stage Crocodile?

And this is exactly what happened.

The Super Monster Stage Crocodile saw that Orochi attacked its underling and it also understood that the attack was strong enough to hurt or kill her underling.

So, it gave up attacking Orochi momentarily and aimed its Purple Energy Beam and destroyed the Fireball.

But this momentary gap was enough for Orochi to burst out with extraordinary speed and he instantly attacked the second weakest in the group of Purple Hide Crocodiles. And punched its skull and pierced its brain in a single strike.

And then he immediately moved away because the tail of Super Monster Stage Crocodile swiped at his location.

But the deed was already done and the second weakest in their group was already killed.

Such that, when the leader of the Purple Hide Crocodiles saw its underling not reacting, it roared in anger as the human dared to kill one of its underlings in front of him.

ROARRRRR

Orochi was already prepared and he hurriedly covered his ears to prevent getting into a passive situation again due to the sound attack of the Boss Crocodile.

In his heart, Orochi knew that he needs to quickly solve the remaining Purple Hide Crocodiles because the longer he drags, the higher the chances are that other monsters in the nearby area get alarmed and get here.

Not to mention, there are other tribes similar to the Lamia tribe that are deep inside the Dark Forest including the Royal Families, if they also get alarmed then Orochi can only slap his head in regret.

‘Just 2 minutes. After that, no matter what, I will run away, or else things might get worse for me.’

Orochi set a reminder for himself and immediately activated the ‘Physical Enhancement and Modification’ skill.

The ‘Physical Enhancement and Modification’ skill can not only help Orochi change his physical appearance but it can also enhance his Stats temporarily.

The last time he used this skill in combat was during the fight with Ethan.

The ‘Physical Enhancement and Modification’ skill, when it was at Level 1, could increase all his Stats by 5% and that too, at the cost of 1% MP per minute.

Of course, Luck and Vitality are not included in the count.

And now the ‘Physical Enhancement and Modification’ skill is at Level 5, it can increase his Stats by 25% and at the cost of 1% MP per minute. If calculated, then his stats would cross the 100,000 points limit and reach up to 125,000 points. And for that, he would burn 20,000 MP per minute.

And that MP is nothing when compared to the speed at which he is recovering it- 1500 MP per second.

So, when Orochi activated the ‘Physical Enhancement and Modification’ skill, he felt the changes taking place in his body but he didn’t have any time to feel them with a piece of mind because the remaining 3 Purple Hide Crocodiles started to frantically attack him.

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

While dodging, Orochi used both of his hands and aimed his fingers towards the remaining two Monster Stage Crocodiles.

‘Magic Bullet’

‘Magic Bullet’

And started to attack them with this trick.

Swish

Swish

Due to the speed of ‘Magic Bullet’ and also due to the size of two Purple Hide Crocodiles, they could neither dodge nor defend, so every second their body would get pierced by ‘Magic Bullets’ and new wounds started to form.

Psh

Psh

ROARRR

ROARRR

But of course, the wounds were not deep enough to seriously injure them, because the armor-like hide is not just for show. So, the ‘Magic Bullets’ could only create small wounds about 1- or 2-inches deep.

ROARRR

ROARRR

But then again, these wounds were enough to make the 2 crocodiles roar in anger and pain.

PSSH

Suddenly, one of the ‘Magic Bullet’ hit the bullseye... I mean hit the Monster Stage Crocodile’s eye.

Unfortunately for Orochi, the Monster Stage Crocodile did not die because it closed its eye instinctively, so the ‘Magic Bullet’ had to first pierce the two-layered eyelid and then touch its eye. So, the attack failed to kill it in a single shot.

ROAARRARRRRR

But of course, his efforts did not go vain because the Monster Stage crocodile roared in agony and lost control. Such that, it started to attack and destroy its surroundings. And even disrupted the other two crocodile’s rhythm.

And taking this opportunity, Orochi fired a few more ‘Magic Bullets’ at its head.

BANG
