[You have lowered the durability of the Head of Asag and are now able to see the details of the monster.]
[Once the Head of Asag drops in durability to 70%, the second phase will start to commence.]
[The Head of Asag will have ten minutes to fully enter the second phase. You can still lower the durability of the Head of Asag during this state.]
[The durability of the Head of Asag will be converted to its new Health Percentage upon entering the second phase. The durability can only be lowered until 50% before the Head of Asag becomes invulnerable.]
[The true name of the dungeon has also been revealed.]
[You have entered Asag’s Underground Prison.]
The Head of Asag roared as the arrows that Adrian released actually made it feel pain. This is something that it cannot endure. This part of its body is something that is incredibly sensitive to pain as it is the head. It might be currently sealed in this form since this is a prison but Adrian could tell where the Terra Elementum is.
The Terra Elementum is actually this entire stone platform that they are standing on. This stone platform is also the prison that is making sure that the monster before them is not released. The fact that the Head of Asag is just a part of the actual monster known as the Asag. This head is just a representation of its sealed state and it is already this powerful and durable.
The Head of Asag is currently in a state where the seals on its body should be slowly withering. If Adrian could guess correctly then this dungeon is actually created by the Terra Elementum itself. The generous buffs that were given to them is something that no ordinary dungeon could give and it even stacks. Adrian then looked at all of the buffs that were given to them and knew that all of it is given to destroy the being imprisoned.
[Hidden in the Dark: Gain the Dark Sight when inside the current dungeon. Increase 10% of getting better loot for the entire dungeon run.]
[Clear Mind: Increase 50% resistances for all mind related skills and abilities that a can affect the buff holder. This buff can only be useful in this current dungeon and will vanish once the buff holder has left.]
[Cold and Thick Skinned: All players that have this buff will have 50% increase in heat resistance. Stamina consumption in areas that are high in temperature will be slowed down. Physical damage is also decreased by 5%.]
[Strike with Patience: Increases damage by 10% for the duration of the dungeon raid. All beings that have this buff will gain a counter called Patience that stacks up to ten stacks. Each stack can be gained when the holder does not deal damage for a second. When stacks reach ten, gain 20% critical damage and a guaranteed critical strike.]
All of the buffs that were given to them were something made to counter this very boss. The Hidden in the Dark buffs grant us the ability to see in darkness as it would be needed to defeat the Head of Asag when the torches are blown away. The Clear Mind grant resistances to any mind related or mental ailment skill that the boss monster could do. Just like with the shriek earlier as they would have been trapped in a daze if not for the buff.
The Cold and Thick Skinned buff is useful as this place is incredibly hot due to the flames and is also a generic defensive buff. The Strike with Patience buff is a powerful attack buff that grants an absolute critical strike as long as one does not deal damage for ten seconds. Based on the initial fight with the Head of Asag, this buff is definitely tailored for a battle that is long winded.
"It is like the dungeon itself is telling us to kill the being locked inside of it." Adrian muttered as he no longer idled and summoned his soulbounds.
Adrian summoned Sirius, Kanlaon, Charon, and Wisteria as they would be needed to pin down the enemy. The Head of Asag does not attack normally as it is a gigantic floating head. Even the way it attacks is also different since it would actually bounce on the ground before charging in one direction. It can freely float or hover in a vertical motion but it must rely on its weight and momentum to move in other directions.
The Head of Asag charged towards Adrian but Sirius and Kanlaon interjected. Sirius released powerful shadow spikes which the Head of Asag just rammed pass through. Kanlaon did not wait for the Head of Asag to reach Adrian as he suddenly wrapped his tail with six different elements and then proceeded to attack the enemy with that.
The Head of Asag slammed towards Kanlaon’s dragon tail and it got flung a few meters away with some durability being lost. The durability being lost is a good thing but Adrian also noticed another thing as he released some arrows to hit the Head of Asag. When Adrian’s arrows reached the Head of Asag, all of them got blocked by a barrier.
The torches that were smothered earlier has once again lit up and supplied the Head of Asag with protection. Adrian knew that there should be some trick for the Head of Asag as leaving it exposed would be easy to defeat. Adrian’s companions could only use their bodies once again to smother the torches in order to make the Head of Asag defenseless.
When the Head of Asag got back its barrier, it once again released sonic attacks but it no longer used ones that can give hallucinations as it realized that the beings before it are immune to it. Instead, the Head of Asag released sonic attacks that also has horn shrapnel with it. The one it prioritized is Tala but Bunn Bunn enlarged his shield and blocked the attack.
With Bunn Bunn acting as the tank, Adrian no longer played safely since the Head of Asag would be slightly stagnated when its barrier is gone. He used this opportunity to use the Hypernova skill that enchants his arrows to the limit. Adrian entered the Hypernova state and released arrows that have the power of a collapsing star.
Adrian released ten arrows before his Hypernova state tires him out. All ten of the arrows reached the Head of Asag and hit its back. As soon as ten of them were embedded clearly, Adrian did not waste any time and made all ten explode. The Head of Asag screamed loudly as its body got hit by pure chaos energy that exploded wildly.

Adrian’s one attack actually made the Head of Asag lose the remaining durability it had. It then proceeded to release a foul cry as if calling for something. Adrian did not know what that call for was but the Head of Asag is actually slowly turning red in color compared to the dark green color it previously had.
[The Head of Asag is entering its second phase.]
[The Head of Asag’s durability could still be lowered until 50%.]
The Head of Asag started to twitch and release random attacks here and there but it is also vulnerable. Adrian commanded all of them to push for the durability depletion of the Head of Asag. He speculates that this second phase of the enemy is not something that they could deal with normally. While the Head of Asag is still this weak, they should use every opportunity given to them.
All of their attacks focused on the Head of Asag without any delay. Even if the Head of Asag would stumble and fly over suddenly, they did not stop damaging it at all. The Head of Asag is still protected by the torches that lit up which is why the ten minutes needed to drop it to 50% health is not really long at all.
"KIYYAAAH!"
The Head of Asag shouted as the flames from the torches that granted it a barrier suddenly turned into serpents that are all devoured by it. The head that already looked unappealing and hideous suddenly sprouted a neck that is as thick as a stump. A torso also grew from the neck and each side of it had rows of teeth that could function as two other mouths.
After the torso with two mouths formed, the lower body became serpentine in form as scales could be seen on it. Sharp fins also protruded from the lower body while the tail grew a harpoon shaped barb on the tip. The Head of Asag is no longer just a head but something serpentine in nature. What Adrian did not fear the most is its body shape but the aura it releases cannot be overlooked.
"It now has the power of a lesser god." Adrian stated as all of them gulped.
