Chapter 18 - Boss Battle! Against The Giant Venomous Viper!
.

The gigantic Venomous Viper hissed loudly, resembling more like a roar than a hiss.
The large Boss monster quickly began to slither around the large "room" as it kept firing venomous projectiles at us.
Kireina remained in front of me as she used her powerful spear and her amazing strength to intercept each attack and block it, while Ervas constantly used Antidote to heal her poisoned state.
The Venomous Viper power was rather large compared to the little ones, and we were still slowly diminishing it.
Both of them consume 100 Mana per minute, and I regenerate a bit more than that per minute, although, with each level up, my mana increases a lot and so does my regeneration.
For now, I think I am recovering 125 Mana per minute, so there are 25 free Mana they can use per minute. If they spend more, the large mana pool I have will be depleted quickly and they might even be sent into ethereal states, leaving me defenseless.
For now, Ervas conjured Telekinesis Bullets every few seconds, which cost 5 Mana, while Kireina created a large blade made of crystalized blood using her own blood, which cost 10 Mana.
Both of them continuously fired these projectiles over the Venomous Viper's body, diminishing its hard scales.
However, it was taking some time.
But like any Monster inside Dungeons, they had patterns, like monsters inside video games.
The Venomous Viper constantly slithered around the "room" in circles, trying to eat us up with its giant jaws for around 40 seconds, afterwards, it would coil and jump into the center of the room, trying to crush us.
And afterward, it would begin slithering again while firing bullets of poison.
It had three paces, I suppose.
And the one that was the best to attack was the few seconds after it coiled and hit the center of the room, as it would wait a few seconds before going into the next mode.
For now, we evaded its giant jaws as it tried to devour us, jumping around while Kireina blocked it with her spear.
Despite being strong, she wasn't able to completely overpower the beast, and because she needed to protect me as well, she couldn't go all out either.
And even if she were to go all out, the poison would consume her Vitality way too fast and she would most likely turn into ethereal form, which is the way of "dying" for any summons unless I die, they will never die but turn into this form until they can recover.
"Grrryshaaa!"
The Viper suddenly "roared" again, as it coiled in a few seconds and jumped like a spring!
We quickly jumped off the center, moving near the corners of the room, as the beast's entire weight hit the ground, making the ground shake furiously!
BOOM!
"Now, Master!" Kireina alerts me about this window where we can hit the damn boss with all we have, and Ervas jumps out of my shoulders, using his tiny fists to hit the viper, he had 200+ Strengths after all and could hit harder than me with my bat.
I braced myself after I had touched a few totems in the way, which boosted my stats by 20%, and began to hit the damn creature with all of my might.
Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!
Kireina used her Khaos Spear, covering it in darkness and unleashing dozens of piercing attacks that penetrated the beast's flesh, while Ervas used his bare fists to hit it.
I saw its Health Bar quickly reduce to almost 40% before the beast finally decided to attack once more.
Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that monsters were so robotic in the dungeons, just like games, we would be able to abuse weaknesses that no normal animals would have,
The beast quickly roared once more, moving the tip of its tail, and trying to throw us off balance.
SLASH!
CLASH!
However, Kireina raised her spear, clashing against the tip of the viper's tail, blocking the hit for us as the viper jumped into the "room's" corner and began to slither around once more while trying to bite us.
We jumped and evaded its giant jaws, as Kireina used her blood blades and Ervas used his telekinesis bullets, slowly diminishing the beast…
A bit more…
Come on…
The beast quickly changed patterns once more, deciding to the coil and jump over us again!
We quickly evaded and then jumped right over it!
I braced myself, with this bat which I don't even know how it is withstanding hitting this thing for so long, as Kireina used her sharp spear and Ervas his telekinesis bullets!
Clash! Boom! Crash! Slash!
"GRRYYYAARRR…!"
The Venomous Viper suddenly gave a last cry, as the bar of HP quickly went all the way down to zero!
Boom!
The gigantic head had fallen over the ground… motionlessly.
"We did it…" I sighed, panting for air.
"Phew… That was quite something. But it is a good practice when things get real in a few days!" said Kireina with a gentle smile, as she petted my head.
"Good job, Master, Kireina," said Ervas expressionlessly, although he forced a mild smile. I remember having given him a Caring, Gentle, and Dependable Nature, and it seems that he became just like in the original novel… Although the trait of being expressionless remained.
Poof!
The Venomous Viper Boss exploded into black smoke, leaving a pile of gold for us.
I quickly caught it all and we decided to walk out of the dungeon at last.
Ugh.
I jumped over the bed as I assessed the System Windows in front of my sight.
Ding!
[You gained a lot of EXP!]
[Your Level has increased to Level 7!]
[You gained +50 Skill Points!]
[You earned the [First Clear Dungeon Bonus: 3 Orbs]!]
[You completed the Daily Quest: [Defeat 20 Monsters: 1000 Gold]!]
Level 7 and it hasn't been an entire day since then… Huh.
Maybe I can get to Level 10 on the first day since I got my System? That's quite something.
And if there are more "Players" like me with their own Systems, I wonder how strong can they get in a single day.
Or maybe I am special with my daily dungeons?
Hmm…
Well, there are still two more tries, alongside two other dungeons with three tries each, so this is no time to slack off.
