Bab 6: Chapter 6 : boss fight (2/2)
With a somber face, Luke searched around for a hidden boss or something but found nothing. He frowned then looked back to the ogre that he killed.
It was where he left it on the ground but it was faintly glowing and the next instant, it started to levitate while glowing brighter and brighter. Then it stopped and got back down to the ground but on its feet with all of its previous injuries healed.
It opened its mystical blue eyes, gazing at Luke and roared which paralyzed Luke.
' Alright I was trolled, twice '
Seeing the enemy he had so hardly killed get back up, Luke sighed and released all his remaining dark hands at its face, ending the paralysis then backed away.
Without any stored dark hands and without mana, he had to think of a way to win this fight. No, his situation was too precarious to even win, he has to concentrate on surviving so he began to run. He still had 6 minutes to survive.
Moreover, he had to find a way to cancel that annoying roaring ability. He isn't naive enough to believe that the same tactic would work twice. After all, even if it looks dumb, it certainly wouldn't forget what killed it, and yes it was killed before, his 16 years of experience told him so. The only explanation he could come up with is that it has a revival ability or something similar.
Anyway, Luke is in a very unfavorable situation right now. He is tired both physically and mentally and has no trump cards anymore. However, unlike the typical villain, the ogre wouldn't just let him be. It released a fire breath towards the fleeing Luke which scorched his back and propelled him forward.
Gritting his teeth, he used the strength of the attack to accelerate. His direction was the nearest mountain that he saw in the first trial. It's not that he hoped to climb it since it's too far, but he ran towards it because of the sparse trees on the way.
The ogre chased after him and could roar at any moment. He hoped he could get to a tree before that and his hope was realized. He hastily peeled off some bark with his daggers and looked behind him, waiting for the ogre to open its mouth. The latter, though, recognized his actions and turned its head before roaring.
' Why the hell is it that smart? ' thought a greatly frustrated Luke but using the fact that it couldn't see him for a split second, he threw out some barks he stored at its eyes with all his strength before being stunned.
The ogre, proud of its intelligence turned its head smugly only to receive the bark pieces in its eyes. It was not enough to puncture the eyes but more than enough to cause so much pain that the paralysis wore off and the ogre to whimper in pain. Luke then resumed his strategical retreat. The goal is to create the most distance possible between the whimpy ogre and him. After 30 seconds of wiping its eyes, the ogre also resumed the chase.
' Damn, now I can only hope that the paralysis is not indefinite. '
As he thought this, the ogre once again roared, paralyzing him. And only after 5 seconds could he move.
Now, this is a race against time. They originally should run at the same pace but Luke had a 30 seconds advance. Unfortunately, every 10 seconds he loses 5 because of the roar which should be considered a cheat for most people but talking about cheats, he was the last who should complain in case he incurred the universe's wrath.
Like this, he would only last 3 minutes before being caught and killed but he used his spacewalk which made him twice faster and was able to pull it off. After the six minutes, the ogre chasing him gradually faded. It still looked at him with overflowing hatred as it disappeared, though, Luke was the same, he suffered greatly by its hands and was even chased like a dog. He only hoped he could have his vengeance as soon as possible.
Aaaaaaaand the system prompt, which he was so damn waiting for, resounded.
* Congratulations for surviving the boss fight soldier Luke... 200PTS awarded. You will be teleported to the CHG in 5 minutes. There, you will have to wait for the third quest. *
' phew, damn it ... a boss that not only counters me but even has a revival ability? How could they make a second quest so absurd? '
What he knew but chose to ignore because of his ever-present subjectivity was that he originally finished the quest in an absurd way.
' Sigh... anyway, show me my money '

As he was thinking, he wanted to experiment on the potions but strangely, the thought disappeared as soon as it appeared...
...
5 minutes later the system resounded
* Soldier, you will immediately be teleported to the common hunting grounds *
Covered by the violet light again, Luke closed his eyes, reopened them an instant later and observed his surroundings. He couldn't help but form a mental smirk from what he saw.
