Chapter Title: Farming the Extra Boss
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Whoosh!
Having closed in on Yuseong to a satisfying distance, the boss now grabbed one of its interfering minions and hurled it aside before gripping its glaive with both hands. Then it swung down hard. A skill effect glimmered along the blade.
At the same time, the goblins around him charged at Yuseong as well. Their intent was clear: they'd attack Yuseong regardless of getting caught in the boss's strike.
But considering Yuseong's movements up to now, it didn't seem like it'd be very effective. He looked like he'd slip through the encirclement just as easily as before.
Yet, strangely enough, Yuseong didn't move. Ignoring the goblins lunging at him from all sides, he unleashed a barrage at the boss's face.
-Kyaaak!-
Caught in the hail of bullets from both guns, the boss staggered back, stunned once more.
But that allowed the surrounding goblins to attack Yuseong without interference. In an instant, his HP started plummeting.
Only after stunning it and using his remaining ammo to drop the goblins on one side could he finally break free of the encirclement.
[Whoa, thought you were gonna die there]
[That was close]
[Can't they catch him?]
[Even Yuseong can't dodge attacks like that?]
The viewers voiced their concerns. But Yuseong calmly chugged a potion and said,
"That last attack? I could've dodged it."
[No way, liar. Then why didn't you?]
"That skill the boss just used was Ground Slam. It slams the ground to deal damage in a set radius."
The strategy guide had explained it for him.
"So I prioritized blocking that skill before it hit the ground. Otherwise, the other goblins could've wiped too."
<...>
<...>
<...>
At that moment, the chat window was nothing but a sea of dots.
But regardless of how the viewers reacted, Yuseong's focus was solely on the enemies now.
The boss, still stunned. And the goblins charging toward him.
Feast time.
Yuseong reloaded his guns. Thanks to the moon clips, reloading both pistols took only a moment.
He sprayed bullets at the oncoming goblins indiscriminately, hobgoblin or not.
When he ran out, he'd reload and fire again, repeating the process.
Just like that, the minion goblins were wiped out in seconds.
-Kuooooh!-
By the time the boss shook off its daze, most of its minions were already dead. The rest vanished as it leaped at Yuseong again.
[Done!]
[Over in a flash]
The viewers cheered at the cleared field. Now it was one-on-one again between Yuseong and the boss, so they figured the odds were in his favor. Given his skill, it might end soon.
But the viewers' expectations missed the mark once more.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The glaive sliced sharply toward Yuseong. The boss unleashed a barrage of patterns with various skills, dazzling even the viewers watching on screen.
Yuseong dodged it all with minimal damage—his footwork truly wondrous.
Yet for some reason, he wasn't attacking.
[Why not attack?]
[Out of ammo?]
[He still has some in the guns he's holding, right?]
Even as he glanced at the chat while evading the onslaught, Yuseong replied,
"I can't kill it yet. Then I couldn't farm more goblins."
[Oh yeah, he's here for the goblins]
[LOL trolling by making it summon minions]
[Boss can't even complain if sued]
"I'm not trolling. I'm taking hits too."
With that, Yuseong downed a potion.
He meant it seriously, but to the viewers, it was peak trolling.
[Not attacking just to make it summon adds is trolling enough]
[And checking chat mid-fight LOL]
[Boss would ragequit if it knew LOL]
Maybe the chat hit a nerve, because the boss leaped back dramatically and thrust its glaive at Yuseong.
[LOL here it comes again!]
[Extra boss is just a goblin-spitting machine]
The field filled with goblins again. Another feast laid out. Yuseong swept them away just like before.
The fight played out the same. Dodge the extra boss's attacks and massacre the goblins.
Yuseong only counterattacked the boss when it tried to AoE him along with its minions.
And each time the boss ate a counter, the chat filled with pity posts.
[This vibe is weird LOL why are we sympathizing with the boss?]
[Blame Yuseong for becoming its enemy]
[It summoned its own doom LOL]
After sweeping goblins a few more times like that, Yuseong checked his inventory.
"Time to wrap this up."
[Finally?]
[Boss: "Finally free?"?]
[No ammo?]
"I have plenty of ammo. Just no more moon clips."
Fighting without moon clips would be a hassle. Reloading would slow down, dual-wielding pistols would suffer, and DPS would tank.
'I could manage, but...'
No real reason to.
After clearing the scattered minion goblins from the field, Yuseong charged the extra boss.
Unlike before—when he'd dodged carefully, avoiding even stuns lest it die—now a storm of bullets poured onto the extra boss.
It swung its glaive desperately in resistance, but even when Yuseong had played passively, it hadn't gained the upper hand.
Bang!
The silver fangs bared their sharp teeth. The boss's body shook.
Thud!
It stabbed its blade into the ground and dropped to one knee. Its ferocious eyes glared at Yuseong, as if ready to lunge in rage. But that didn't last.
The boss collapsed. Its glaive clattered beside it.
Yuseong's victory.
[He won!]
[Knew it, but you really got it!]
[That's four extra bosses in a row now?]
[World record at this point?]
[Records exist, but first in Yuseong's level bracket for sure]
[First time watching an extra boss clear this chill]
[Y'all sleeping on this: Yuseong just solo'd an extra boss 4 levels above him]
[Oh right!]
[Is that a record too?]
[Gotta check]
The chat scrolled wildly. Yuseong watched with satisfaction. Knowing each one meant attention points made him grin.
[Yuseong, react or something!]
One chat popped up.
[Oh, that no-mouth reaction LOL]
[LOL you sticking with that?]
He vaguely remembered doing something when viewers complained about no reactions before. Yuseong clenched his fist and said, just like old times,
"Asa?"
<LOLOLOL>
[Always kills me LOL]
[This your signature now? LOLOL]
[Your confused face is funnier LOL]
He didn't get it, but the response was good.
'Good reaction is all that matters.'
Basking in the viewers' laughter, Yuseong approached where the boss had fallen.
It had already despawned. A few item bundles remained.
Yuseong looted them.
[Not great drops]
[Some usable ones, but not for a gunner like Yuseong]
[Even for a trophy extra boss, rewards are meh]
Yuseong felt a twinge of disappointment too. But only briefly. He opened his quest window.
"This fight filled it to 2/3."
[Damn, after all those goblins, and it's not full?]
[Ark's hidden chain quests love absurd conditions]
[But those usually pay big]
[Excited to see rewards if Yuseong chains them all]
[Heading back to Witte Mountain for more goblins?]
"Why Witte Mountain?"
The memory of rooting through dens for single mobs soured his expression.
[Gotta kill goblins to finish the quest?]
"After resupplying, I'm doing the extra boss again."
Question marks flooded the chat. Yuseong tilted his head.
"The Brutal Tribe Chief challenge has three attempts. Used one this time, two left."
Yuseong checked his status window.
"Also gained a level, so not at the challenge level cap yet. Plenty of level room and attempts left, so why not hunt it again?"
He couldn't be wrong. He'd double-checked with the strategy guide. As long as level and attempts were met, he could farm the extra boss endlessly.
[Oh yeah, that tracks?]
[Never even thought of multi-killing extra bosses]
[Anyone know if this works?]
[If so, world first?]
[How many world-first suspects today?]
Extra bosses were tough enough that even pros prepped hard for one kill.
Challenging below level cap and clearing by attempt limit—like Yuseong was doing—was near delusional.
Hence the viewers' confusion at his logic(?).
But Yuseong ignored the frantic chat. He'd confirmed with the strategy guide. Skeptics could see for themselves.
"Resupplying and coming back. Then you'll know for sure."
Yuseong returned to Sillaremit.
Repaired his armor, stocked up on ammo. This time, more with moon clips.
Fully resupplied, Yuseong stepped back into the stockade housing the Brutal Tribe Chief.
<[Waaah!]>
The goblin audience roared again. In the clearing they faced, the Brutal Tribe Chief stood in the exact same pose as before.
[Oh, yeah]
Chats rolled in.
[Extra bosses respawn endlessly if conditions met]
[Huge info drop]
[But useless info LOL]
[Only Yuseong needs it]
Yuseong gripped his pistols with both hands, just like the first time.
-Roaaar!-
The boss swung its glaive and charged. Yuseong aimed his guns at it.
Still fast and strong. But he'd done this once. The recoil felt lighter, almost imaginary.
That day, Yuseong defeated the Brutal Tribe Chief three times and fulfilled the quest conditions.
