Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 57: Monster's Treasure Drop

Shin was just saying this in the team chat when the monster suddenly turned around and roared. I saw the monster moving all its arms to lay a brutal barrage of attacks on Shin who was just trying to tease me again, so he wasn't completely prepared for this sudden attack. Shin was hit hard to fall back for a few meters rolling on the ground with the monster following him trying to kill him. Although I wanted him to be taught a lesson, I didn't him to die, so I screamed in the chat:

'Mony, save him now.'

I didn't stop at my place as I said loudly:

"Use your immune skill now. Grendy and Goda, help him."

I moved rapidly like an arrow. That monster's attacks were severe and Shin wouldn't be able to handle them alone, so I watched him anxiously as he finally used his immune skill, the sword shield skill. Once he activated it, I sighed in relief as this skill would last for 5 seconds. I doubted that monster's berserk state to be longer than this, or that was what I hoped for. Though he wasn't in danger right now, I felt great anger towards this monster, so I didn't stop as I reached its rear. This time, the monster was madly attacking Shin with all the arms, so there was no arm standing to guard its back, which was good news for me. the first skill I used was the mostly needed one right now

"Gravity skill."

At once, the monster's speed dropped obviously, but not the degree that could make Shin evade its attack yet. I didn't intend to stop there, as I used my strongest SSP combo.

"Penta aux skill

Strength aux skill.

Tempest of lightning skill.

Triple thrush skill"

My spear moved like lightning followed by five illusionary spears to attack that monster. In my old days at the kingdom, I learned in the war academy there one important lesson.

If you met a hard to conquer opponent, then search for its weakness, if you couldn't find any, then create one by yourself. That was what I was doing right now, as I selected a small spot in its back and concentrated all my attacks over it.

If this monster's defenses got boosted by its berserk mode, then I would crack it like I crack a hard stone. The first few spears didn't cause any damage at all, barely neglected one figure damage appeared over that monster, but after two seconds, my tactic started to show some results.

Two figures began to float above this monster head, and even some three figures damage. That made me feel more courage and began to hit that monster faster and faster. Five seconds passed very rapidly, but at the last second, that wicked monster turned sharply as it wanted to take my life.

I seemed to annoy it to the degree it ignored its target, Shin, and started to hit me with all its strength. I didn't come here to hit it without any preparation, as I kept my last card till now. Just as its attacks were about to descend over me, I shouted loudly:

"dragon head skill."

My spear started to show changes, as its tip began to expand widely forming a big dragon head. My aim wasn't to meet the monster's attack with my attack, instead, I wanted to use the first immune second of this skill to help me pass this attack safely.

The problem of this feature of my skill was it didn't last more than one second, which would be detrimental if used wrongly, so I didn't use it until the monster's arms were about to hit me. The skill immunity came just in time to save my life and make that last struggle of the monster unfruitful.

'You know you are a crazy little princess, but now that berserk mode of this monster is gone and it has entered a weakened state now,' Shin said.

'Let's then kill it, I had enough of this monster.'

The angry cragen turned quite suddenly as its size shrunk again and its energetic arms began to show obvious weakness, I felt it was tired, but I and my team weren't, so we started to use all of our skills without reservation.

I already activated the dragon head skill so I used it first till it finished, then I started to use my stab skill without pause. Most of my skills were now in cool down, so my options were limited here. I kept my eye over the HP of this monster, the more it declined, the more anxious I became.

'Will this monster enter berserk again?' I asked in the team chat while cutting one arm of this monster. Shin, who was our expert here, said:

'No, any monster has usually one berserk mode, once expired it enters a weakened state till the end of this battle.'

That answered my question but it didn't make me feel any relief, as this dungeon seemed to break the general rules. I kept my cautious as I stabbed this monster over and over again.

It tried to counterattack more than once, but it failed as it moved slowly for me and my teammates. It didn't take ten minutes for it to roar for the last time before it fell on the ground motionless.

Just as I felt relieved, a sudden booming happened as that monster blew up to leave behind more than 30 items scattered in the cave. I looked in daze to all this loot as I asked:

'What is this? This monster left over 30 items for us.'

'That's called treasure drop, and it came when players kill monsters above their current levels,' Shin said.

I looked at the loot again while saying:

'But, we didn't kill a higher level monster; our levels are on par with it while you and I are higher by one level.'

Shin neared me as he said loudly:

"Let me correct you again, princess, we are 2 levels higher than that monster now."

I looked at him with confusion then it hit me, we just killed a field boss monster, which meant we gained a big amount of XP. I checked my notification to find I got two at the moment when that big loot exploded from the monster, so I didn't notice them.

I checked them fast to find that I got an additional level, and I just needed less than 20% to reach the next one. I looked to Shin as I said happily:

"I'm sure we can gain one more level at least when we kill than dragon, no maybe two more levels."
