章 20: Region Boss (Part 3)

''Hahaha, you ugly monster. Let's see if you can still chase me inside the forest. '' He shouted and prepared to dive into the forest while laughing and mocking the creature.

''Finally, I escaped. '' When he thought he was safe from the sticks behind him, another stick appeared from nowhere and stabbed him in the neck.

He lost consciousness as he started to fall and thought regretfully. 'I was too close. '

—

[Lv.9 Winged-man(F) has been killed.]

[Your team gained 9 points.]

[You gained 90 experience points.]

''Oh, I got the full experience points? Nice. '' Raydon exclaimed cheerfully. Normally, if you killed a mob or enemy with the assistance of a teammate, experience points were distributed among the contributors, but it appears that he did not need to share his experience points with a mob.

The region boss abruptly stopped its insane attacks after the winged man died and changed back into a tree, rooting in the ground as if it had never been a monster.

''Too bad, unfortunately, we won't be able to get dropped items. '' Leas looked at Raydon and seemed genuinely sorry for him as she said this. Since the region boss was not far from the winged man's body, if they attempted to take his items, the monster would undoubtedly attack them as well.

''Hm? Why not? '' Raydon smiled like a mischievous child and put the crossbow in his dimensional storage before casting a sidelong glance at Leas and beginning to descend the hill.

''Hey, hey, wait a minute. Where are you running to?! '' When Leas realized Raydon wouldn't stop, she made the decision to follow him.

Gary and Seraher also took one look at each other and then decided to follow the duo.

Raydon checked his system for the remaining time of the match while running. 'Hmm, this should be enough. '

''Hey, Berserk man, lend me your sword. '' Raydon called out to Gary, who was running after him.

'Berserk man? What is that? ' Gary was perplexed and quickly drew his sword from his dimensional storage, running faster to Raydon, he handed him the sword.

Raydon realized the sword was quite heavy as he held it. He even had to drag it behind him as he ran.

''What are you trying to do? '' Gary asked questioningly.

''I think he's trying to get the items dropped before the time runs out. '' Seraher guessed.

''Are you crazy? You won't be able to. Didn't you see how strong it is? You will die before reaching the items. '' Gary hastily shouted at Raydon to stop him, but Raydon ignored him.

Right now, he wasn't paying attention to anyone and was only focusing on the character screen in front of him.

While he was increasing his stamina, he heard a voice coming from the system, but for now, he ignored it and continued.

After he finished spending all his experience points, he opened the status menu again.

''The next increase needs 65 experience points. It looks good for now. " Raydon could feel his body getting stronger, but he forced himself to ignore the feeling and concentrated on the system to figure out what the previous dinging sound was.

Currently available stat(s):

-Stamina ( New skill has been unlocked.)

-Life Regeneration: Doubles the body's rate of healing and enhances the effects of healing skills used on the body based on the stamina stat.

'It's scary how lucky I am. My use of that technique will improve thanks to this new skill. ' Raydon mused happily.

''Hey, while you get the items, I can divert the region boss for a little while. I hope we can escape before the time runs out.'' Gary stated firmly.

Raydon looked at Gary. He was taken aback by Gary's extreme actions on his behalf.

Raydon proclaimed, "My target is not items."

''What did you say? Your target, not the items? Then what is it? '' Leas could not conceal her surprise. If items weren't his target, why was he running towards the region boss in such a hurry?

''I will kill the Region Boss. ''

Hearing this, Gary stumbled.

He gathered himself and ran, catching up to Raydon and yelling. ''Are you out of your mind? This is just suicide. ''

Seraher was also unable to maintain her composure because she had assumed that he would only be after the items. She had never imagined his goal would be to kill the boss.

Raydon continued to run without responding to Gary.

Gary understood Raydon's seriousness. His shocked expression also gradually gave way to solemnity.

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled his shield from his dimensional storage. ''I'm not sure how long I can hold out, but I think I can stop that stick-throwing skill so that you can concentrate on the attack.''

Raydon couldn't believe what he was hearing for a moment. Gary volunteered his assistance in this suicide mission.

''My skills may not have much of an impact on something this large, but perhaps I can slow down its movements. ''Seraher said, taking her ice-blue sword in her hands. Her focus was on the Region Boss in front of them.

Leas remained silent, but her continued running alongside them sufficed as an answer.

'These guys are for real? They had just said that it was impossible and that it was nothing but suicide. '' Raydon's lips curled into a smile as he observed the grave expressions on everyone's faces.

'This is interesting. '

Was it trust? Or were they simply grateful to him for what he had just done? Or perhaps they simply wanted to kill this enormous monster in front of them because they were caught up in the excitement of the situation.

Raydon wasn't sure of the answer, but a long-forgotten emotion sparked within him.

''Thank you. But please, '' His gaze fixed on the boss a little further away.

At the time, Raydon was unaware that the sentence he was about to speak would resurrect a legend from his previous life. For some, it's just a sentence; for others, it's the name of a hero from the forbidden lands.

''Let me solo it. ''
