Chapter 41 Secret Boss Fight (Part II)
Standing up, I ran back to the battlefield for the third time. I could see Serena knocked out as I came to the battle. Like me, she couldn't do anything about it. I had to find a way for it to keep it away from her. I had to win here, or all of us would die.
I had to think of a way to beat it. I had to think of a way to hit it. How would I hit it despite its speed? Then, thinking hard, something came to mind. I had one chance; otherwise, it would be the death of all of us.
The serpent, who sensed my presence, slithered its way towards me, trying to finish me off. Gathering as much mana as possible using the sunlight, I shot a UV ray at it. The serpent couldn't see it, and with the speed of my attack, it had landed.
"Taste cancer fucker!" I screamed at it with rage, the serpent who heard it couldn't understand what I said, but it felt my malicious intent. Then, angered by my taunt, it ran straight to me, confident in beating me.
I then smiled, laughing at its confidence. My attack had hit its entire body. It cried in pain. The UV attack I did was burning its eyes. While my attack wasn't powerful, it was something that would hurt the more it came into contact. The radiation poisoning and the burning effect of my attack were deadly, something I wouldn't suggest using on a person.
On the monster, I didn't feel the need to hold back on using it. However, the serpent handling the effect of my magic was hissing in massive pain.
The cells in its body began to die, and its eyes were burnt, unable to see. The blueness of its body began to fade. Of course, my attack wouldn't have killed it. It was more of a torture attack that caused massive pain to anyone touching it.
That attack had used about eighty percent of my mana. The serpent who was in pain couldn't feel anything but it. Unable to see, I used all my mana to make a sun and launched it at it.
The sun that I created had hit it, and with it exploding on it, the serpent had died. I couldn't move because the moves that I used were mana taxing. I was smiling despite feeling tired. Finally, I won this fight. I thought my companions and I would die when it evolved and hit us.
A secret boss that could evolve what a load of bullshit that was. I needed more training just in case an incident as this happened. I fell down on the floor, unable to stand. I was tired. My eyes were closing, and with them closed, everything around me closed.
Third Person POV
Everyone who was fighting the serpent was down. After thirty minutes, Serena, who was hurt badly, was the first to be awake. Although, unlike the other two, she still had mana to spare, she was knocked out by an attack of the serpent making her awake.
"Is it over?" She said as she stood up. She held her head, still dizzy from the attack earlier. Looking around, she found the items dropped from the serpent. She knew that Charlie had defeated the boss somehow.
"To think I was that pathetic during this fight." She clenched her fist in anger. As the highest nobility in the country, she couldn't do anything to a monster of the same rank as her. She was angry at her own abilities. She felt useless in the fight; only who's only role was there to distract time.
"Being angry isn't going to help." Then, realizing that being angry wasn't going to help, she shook her negative thoughts away and checked where her friends were.
She wondered where the other two were. Looking around, she first found Charlie near the boss drop. Checking his condition, she needed to see if he needed any medical attention.
Seeing that he was fine and only fainted due to overuse of mana, she sighed in relief. But, finding that Charlie was okay, she had to find Olivia's body.
Searching around for Olivia's body, she found her in five minutes. It was lucky that nothing had happened to her when they were all down. Checking her condition, she was in the same position as Charlie, the overuse of mana.
Seeing that her body was fine, she carried her body next to Charlie. Serena wished that she could do anything to help them. But unfortunately, the magic that allows her to "wish" for anything has limitations.
Unlike Olivia, her magic needed constant use for it to appear. On the other hand, Olivia just needed to create something for it to be a real object. The similarity of their magic was scary, it was similar, but the limitations were different.
Serena, unlike Olivia, could create anything with the need for magic. Olivia could create objects that weren't magical but didn't need mana to maintain them.
She looked at Olivia with curiosity. She remembered that Charlie had asked if they were related. She could see similarities in their appearance and magic. At the same time, their personalities were different and had no relation to that topic.
"Maybe we are related." She looked up, unsure of that possibility. Thinking about it, Olivia had woken up.
"Serena?" Olivia said as she looked at her as she was the first person to see in her sight.
Remembering what had happened, Olivia was worried. "How's Charlie?"
"Charlie is doing fine. He's right beside you. He had overused his mana when he fought the serpent, he just needed to rest, and he would be fine.
Olivia's worries had been dispelled when Serena said that. Instead, she looked at him in admiration. He had beaten a monster that was of higher rank than them.
"Don't you think Charlie is amazing?" Olivia said with a bit of sadness in her words.
