Cosmic Ruler

Chapter 64 Raid

"of course not" Dio shook his head and said " this location is home to 3 bosses of different grades"

"So, our target is probably lowest of them?" Emily.

"Yes, and it's called Rotten Treant, a C+ rank Silver grade boss"

As Dio said he also showed them a picture, which is basically a rotten blackened wood with dry melting leaves tree monster.

"How disgusting" Emily flinched seeing this.

"It's really rotten" Mark said.

Jake nodded, he remember the Treants are beautiful peace loving race, with golden brown trunks and lush green leaves and often fruits hanging on their hair like branches and many times give those fruits to passerby. But this thing can only give dread to his visitors.

"So, it is our Target?" Mark asked.

"Yes, I know its str.." As Dio was explaining he stopped hearing Jimmy words.

"It's weak"

"What do you mean?" Dio asked.

Jimmy shook his head and showed the video of Jake hunting Gold Rank C+ bosses.

"You really are...never mind" Dio sighed and depressingly sit back.

"But for you guys it's still great challenge" Jake shook his head and said and others nodded.

"But we don't have any effective way to deal with him"

"It seems we're going to need a plan," Emily remarked, her brow furrowed in thought.

"We need to exploit its weakness," Mark suggested, scanning the image of the Rotten Treant once more.

"Fire," Jake stated plainly. "That's its vulnerability."

"None of us has that element," Mark said.

"None. I thought Jimmy was a red dragon," Jake said.

"No, I am a Red Crystal Dragon," Jimmy replied.

"Don't worry, I've got it covered," Dio said as he placed two scrolls on the table.

Jake and the others inspected them.

{Scroll of Runes: Holy Enchantment

Temporarily enchant all attacks with Holy Element

Duration: 20 minutes}

"Well, with this, you guys could take it down," Jake nodded and said.

"Now, tell us about the other bosses too," Mark requested.

"Next is the B+ rank gold grade, Lifeless Tree," Dio nodded and said.

"It's the second? I thought it was the third or last one," Jimmy raised his brows and asked.

"The third boss is a hidden one, but since it's difficult to summon, others think of the Lifeless Tree as the final boss," Dio explained.

"Hmm, what are the characteristics of this Lifeless tree?" Emily inquired.

"aside from it's invulnerability to Holy element, it is a Sword Tank basically " Dio said.

"So, a Tank with powerful attack power too aside from it's high defense?"

"Indeed," Dio confirmed. "It's not just about its defense; it can dish out significant damage with its sword-like branches. It's a formidable opponent, especially when you consider its resilience to holy attacks."

"Also, fire type attacks are also not that effective because of it's half life and half death element" Dio said.

"what a trouble some opponent" Jake sighed.

"Well, there is a reason why it comes under Top 20 most difficult boss to deal with" Mark remarked.

"Well , whatever, it's not like we are going to deal with it anytime soon" Jake shook his head and then asked " The last hidden boss is?"

Dio nodded and said " Last is a Lich"

"Hmm, I thought, something along the Tree monsters might be last one" Jimmy smiled and said.

"same here" Mark and Jake said.

"I thought it world something like corrupted mage or something" Emily smiled and said.

"well you were close" Dio said.

"this lich had probably made those other Tree monsters into Undead types, right?" Jake asked.

"Yes, that's true" Dio nodded and said.

"How many times have this event happened?" Mark asked.

"Probably 100s of times" Dio shrugged.

Jake and other then serched about this even t and then after some time.

"Well all of them have used same strategy" Emily.

"Now, it will be boring, if that is their level" Jimmy.

"Their patterns are so easily deciphered" mark shook his head and said.

"Hmm, how about we do something like...." Jake then explained his plan and others eyes lit up.

"This is totally new, we should make a video of it" Dio exclaimed and said.

Jake shrugged and then Dio decided to make a video out of it and stream it of Star Tube.

"Sounds like a plan," Dio said, enthusiasm evident in his voice. "This strategy could really shake things up and make for an exciting video on Star Tube."

"Definitely," Emily agreed. "It's always more interesting when you bring something new to the table."

"We'll need to make sure we execute it flawlessly," Mark added, nodding in agreement.

"Right," Jake said, determination in his tone. "Let's make sure we're prepared before we take on these bosses."

The Lich is the weakest among all the monster, a necromancer of C rank only.

But still they decided to wait until all of them reach B rank and perform this raid, till that time they are going to perform other raids.

After all penalty for Death in Celestaria is quite high, one can't access the game for next half year and also their village rank will be demoted by one.

And for Jake and his friends who have just established one, it means total annihilation of their village.

Jake and the others then reached a particular point in Mark's village surrounding area.

"It's almost 100 km away from your village," Jake said. "Just what were you doing coming so far away?"

"I chased after a monster from the monster horde that once attacked my village," Mark shrugged as he explained.

"So, this is the den of Flying Serpents," Dio mumbled as he looked at the ant hill-like structure.

"Yes," Mark nodded. Unlike the rat swarm that attacked Jake's village, Mark's village was attacked by a group of Flying Serpents.

"Yoosh, let's attack," Jimmy said, then encasing the giant ant hill-like structure with his red-hot crystals.

Jimmy's purpose was simple: to cut off the air supply. Of course, it was Mark's idea; Jimmy's idea was just to destroy it.

As they waited, cracks began to appear in the crystal, and then a long serpent with golden scales, a crown made of horns, and three pairs of white wings on its long body appeared.

"It's a C rank," Jake said.

"Jake will take on the Serpent King, while we take care of the other minions," Mark said, and then everyone nodded.

From Jake's back, a pair of fleshy black wings appeared, and then he flew up to the level of the Serpent King.

"Hi there," Jake said, crossing his arms with a slight smile.

Sssssssss...

But it seemed to infuriate the Serpent as it lunged at Jake.

Jake dodged its mouth easily and then made a downward slash, but...

Clang!

The Serpent King used its wing to protect its neck.

"What are those wings?" Jake mumbled, noticing scales on the wings too.

"Just how the hell are you flying?" Jake mumbled as the Serpent King shook its wing and pushed Jake back.

"Oh, it's back to normal," Jake thought as he looked at the now white wings.

"I see, so you can change the structure of your wings temporarily. What a good ability," Jake mumbled as he parried the tail of the Serpent King. He felt pity he couldn't steal this power, as this was a game world.

"Nonetheless, thank you for giving me a good opportunity," Jake smiled, now just needing to log out and search for this ability or Serpent, as one of the people he took had an ability to make anything soft, paired with making anything harder, a good combination.

Jake then used Dark Slash to parry the breath attack of the serpent.

And then, using Shadow Step, he swiftly appeared behind it and attacked its neck once again.

Clang!

"Thought so," Jake mumbled, then pushed the sword in his left hand into the jaw of the Serpent King.

Earlier, he did a feint attack to confuse the serpent, using a simple long sword as his main sword; Shadow Reaper was in his left hand.

The serpent's attack pattern was simple: it would first block the attack with its wing, and then, turning back, it would fire a breath attack or simply shake its wing. This time it was a breath attack. Using the opportunity, Jake pushed the Shadow Reaper blade into its mouth and used Dark Blast, a new skill he obtained after defeating the first raid.

Dark Blast is a powerful spell that Jake obtained after defeating the first raid. It harnesses the dark energy within him to create a destructive force. When Jake uses Dark Blast, he channels the dark energy through his weapon, amplifying its power and unleashing it in a concentrated burst of dark energy towards his target.

A simple attack that need a medium, and if initiated from anythings inside, several dark lights spike will sprout from inside that being, just like now, The serpent king body is filled with many dark spikes, making holes every 1 m on his 15 m long body.

The lifeless body of Serpent king fell, as Jake received many notifications.
