Bab 10: 010 Killing boss
Rotting Corpse Plain.
As the system notification refreshed, Dean McKenzie's mind buzzed.
In his trance, he seemed to see a black energy sphere with three remaining light spots. Immediately, one of the light spots lit up and a surge of information rushed into Dean McKenzie's mind.
Dean McKenzie's consciousness returned to reality in an instant, and at the same time, the new attribute of [Summon Skeleton] appeared before his eyes.
...
Skill: Summon Skeleton
Level: Level 1 +1
Incantation: Servant of bone, the Immortal, explore the truth of death
Effect: Summons a level 4 undead creature (skeleton)
Simultaneously exist: 1/2
Mana Consumption: 15 points/one (summon) (1 point/half-hour/one) (maintenance)
...
Looking at these stats, Dean McKenzie subconsciously checked Doggy Two's attributes.
This glance revealed that Doggy Two's attributes had indeed changed.
...
Name: Pale Skeleton
Level: Level 4 (78%)
Servant: Dean McKenzie
Attributes:
Strength: 1.4, Agility: 2, Physique: 0.9
Attack: 1.6
Defense: 0.55
Skills: None
Description: This is a qualified cannon fodder
...
Its level went up 1, strength has increased by 0.2, agility has increased by 0.2, physique has increased by 0.1.
The attribute points gained from the level up were the same as Dean McKenzie's, both were 0.5.
This gave Dean McKenzie a vague sense of unease.
After all, the skeletons are system-certified small fry. If he gained the same attributes as small fry when he leveled up, does it imply that his class, or perhaps because he took a shortcut to change his class, he turned his profession into a small fry one?
And about those three light points he saw earlier. If they all were skill inheritances, does this mean that he has only two skill inheritances left now?
With this thought, Dean McKenzie's mood became even more complicated.
Fortunately, Dean McKenzie was quite good at adjusting his mentality.
"Whether it's a small fry or not is a matter for later. The most important thing right now is to deal with these zombies in front of me!"
After adjusting his mentality, Dean McKenzie turned his gaze back to Doggy Two.
He lifted his hand and summoned another skeleton.
Dean McKenzie looked around and saw that the newly summoned skeleton had different attributes from Doggy Two.
...
Strength: 1.4, Agility: 1.2, Physique: 0.9
Attack: 1.4, Defense: 0.45.
...
The attributes didn't have any enhancements.
However, this was within Dean McKenzie's expectations.
"That's just about right, usable."
With the experience of operating Doggy Two to kill more than 20 zombies, Dean McKenzie had perfected his command over the skeleton.
Once again he threw a stone, attracting another zombie.
"Go, Doggy Three!"
With a wave of his hand, Dean McKenzie directed the newly emerged Doggy Three to face the zombie.
Within a few moves, the zombie was taken care of, and he gained 3 experience points.
Afterward, Dean McKenzie repeated his trick, successively taking care of the remaining zombies, except for the towering one.
For the ones behind, to accurately attract the rotting corpses and not the big guy, Dean McKenzie mostly uses Bone Fang to draw them out.
Although Dean McKenzie's stone-throwing accuracy isn't the best, Bone Fang is, after all, a skill; its trajectory is straight and somewhat guided, making Dean McKenzie's aim much stronger.
With nail-biting suspense, he lured all the normal rotting corpses over and killed them one by one.
Moreover, Dean McKenzie was lucky; those six rotting corpses dropped a small [Mana Potion].
This made Dean much more confident when finally facing the big guy.
"Only this guy is left. Although I'm unsure about its specific attributes, I can confirm that its agility doesn't exceed 1.2.
With caution, and with Doggy Two and Doggy Three, and a bottle of [Mana Potion], we should have about 45% chance of winning. Round it off, and we should be almost guaranteed success. Let's do it!"
As Dean McKenzie said this, he raised his magic wand.
"With the Power of Death, forge the Tooth of Destruction!"
After multiple chants, Dean McKenzie had become skilled in it. He completed the chant on just over a second, unleashing a Bone Fang heading straight for the big guy. With a squelching sound, it accurately hit the opponent's left eye.
The system notification quickly updated.
[You have angered the [Thick-skinned Rotting Corpse] (Elite)!]
Seeing this notification from the Golden Finger, Dean McKenzie had a vague feeling of foreboding.
As expected, a roar soon echoed, and the large [Thick-skinned Rotting Corpse] rushed towards him.
Dean McKenzie clearly saw that his Bone Fang stabbed into its eye, only going in about a centimeter.
This kind of injury was probably only a minor one for it.
"With the Power of Death, forge the Tooth of Destruction!"
Facing the fast-approaching big guy, Dean McKenzie commanded Doggy Two and Doggy Three while unleashing yet another Bone Fang.
It surprisingly hit accurately on the previously embedded Bone Fang in the big guy's left eye, driving it another centimeter in.
Now, the big guy was slightly injured. He let out a mournful howl, but still was not incapacitated.
By the time the second Bone Fang was fired, the big guy was less than two meters away from Dean McKenzie. Despite the enemy at close quarters, Dean McKenzie was unfazed and raised his wand to chant again.
"With the Power of Death...!"
Before he could finish his chant, the big guy had already reached Dean McKenzie with his claws within striking distance.
"Thump!" "Thump!"
Two crashing sounds occurred at once.
Doggy Two and Doggy Three hit the big guy's body from the left and right simultaneously.
If it was simply based on Doggy Two and Doggy Three's power, they wouldn't be able to shake the big guy even if they were tied together.
But their timing of impact was extremely clever, exactly when the big guy was airborne.
The places they hit were even more ingenious.
Doggy Two leaped and hit the upper half of the big guy's body, while Doggy Three lunged at the lower half.
With perfect synergy, they sent the nearby big guy toppling over, buying Dean McKenzie enough time to finish his chant.
"Forge the Tooth of Destruction!"
As he finished the chant, Dean McKenzie's Skeleton Wand was practically pressed against the Bone Fang embedded in the big guy's left eye.
"Squelch!"
With a heavy impact, the Bone Fang which was already inside the big guy's eyeball was thrust a further two or three centimeters in.
Ordinary rotting corpses would have been beheaded with a single hit to the eye, but this big guy took three blows and there still was no system notification regarding its death in front of Dean McKenzie.
"Still not dead? This is trouble!"
Dean McKenzie frowned, and without hesitation, pulled out a small [Life Potion] and [Mana Potion] and downed them at once.
Then, despite Doggy Two and Doggy Three being flung away by the roaring big guy while he was consuming the potions, Dean McKenzie continued to chant [Bone Fang].
"With the Power of Death, ..."
"Squelch!" Dean McKenzie's shoulder got pierced by the big guy's claw.
Dean McKenzie was drawn towards the big guy, who had his neck gripped in its jaws.
Throughout the ordeal, Dean McKenzie did not resist, fervently continuing his chant.
"Forging the Tooth of Destruction!"
Another Bone Fang landed on the big guy's left eye, and finally, with this hit, the large figure froze.
The system notification refreshed at that moment...
