Chapter Title: Bone Lord Wyvern
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jeong Hoon quickly drew back the bowstring and released it.
An arrow shot out, striking the monster's torso dead center.
Bon Lord Wyvern's health has decreased!
Remaining health: 99.77
Raid-exclusive bosses were different from regular bosses.
With a regular boss, that critical hit just now would have nearly brought it to the brink of death.
But this was the difference with a raid boss that required over thirty people to take down, unlike the standard bosses hunted by three or four on average.
Its health pool was absurdly massive compared to its level.
"You bastard!"
Kim Bong-gu leaped onto the Bon Lord Wyvern's back and unleashed a crescent slash.
The mana condensed in his dagger exploded outward, releasing a flash of blue sword energy in the shape of a crescent moon.
Bon Lord Wyvern's health has decreased!
Remaining health: 99.75
Unfortunately, it had only shaved off a measly 0.02 of its health.
"Whoa... fuck, why's the health like this?"
"Clack! Clack!"
The Bon Lord Wyvern clacked its bony jaw up and down.
Sensing something ominous from that motion, Kim Bong-gu hurriedly portaled back to the first nest.
The Bon Lord Wyvern's body then turned red.
Bon Lord Wyvern uses 'Breath Emission.'
Breath Emission.
Its body erupted like a nuclear explosion, blasting breath high into the sky.
This was a skill it used in phase 1.
Seeing it, Kim Bong-gu's legs went weak as he stammered.
"Whoa... f-fuck, that was close to death..."
"Good instincts."
If he'd been even a little slower, Kim Bong-gu would've been wiped right there.
"...Do I have to go back up again?"
"Of course. For reference, it uses Breath Emission once per minute, so keep that in mind."
Phase 1 wasn't all that tough.
After using Breath Emission, it froze in place for 20 seconds.
It was a stiffness effect caused by explosively expelling all the mana from its body.
That was the prime time to pile on the damage.
"Ha, this is insane!"
Kim Bong-gu launched himself back onto the Bon Lord Wyvern's back.
Jeong Hoon drew his bowstring repeatedly, firing arrows at its torso.
Bon Lord Wyvern's health has decreased!
Remaining health: 99.03
...
Remaining health: 98.64
...
Remaining health: 98.32
...
Remaining health: 97.83
Annihilation activates.
When its remaining health hit 97, the power of the Annihilation rune fused with Anima triggered.
Poison Attack detonated simultaneously, adding extra damage!
Remaining health: 95.63
Jeong Hoon fired another arrow.
Annihilation activates.
Remaining health: 93.36
The 6 proc chance kept delivering, triggering Annihilation in succession.
'Impressive as always.'
The health of a boss designed for raids was beyond imagination.
Before his regression, Jeong Hoon had spent a full month hunting this thing before finally taking it down.
That's why he felt just how astonishing this damage output was more than anyone.
- Health's dropping a ton?
- What the hell?
- How's one arrow hitting that hard? lololol
The comments still hadn't grasped how shocking this was.
This was the first time the Bon Lord Wyvern had ever appeared.
'Oh! So that's the power of that rune.'
Anima immediately recognized the strength of the Annihilation rune.
'Master! Danger!'
At that moment, sensing the ominous surge from the Bon Lord Wyvern, Anima shouted urgently.
"I know."
Jeong Hoon activated his movement technique and leaped through the portal.
Bon Lord Wyvern uses 'Breath Emission.'
The Bon Lord Wyvern spewed breath toward the first nest.
Jeong Hoon had hunted monsters like this to death.
The first time it used Breath, when it closed its eyes for 5 seconds, he'd sensed the mana gathering in its mouth with his keen senses.
He'd instantly figured that was when it unleashed its phase 1 ability.
To predict the breath's direction, you just had to watch its gaze and head.
Last time, it was aimed at Kim Bong-gu, so it fired from its back toward its own body. This time, toward Jeong Hoon's nest, so straight at the nest.
"Keep attacking."
"Y-Yes, sir!"
Hearing Kim Bong-gu's booming reply, Jeong Hoon returned to the nest.
The nest is indestructible per settings.
Naturally, the nest held up fine against the breath.
Jeong Hoon drew his bowstring again, firing arrows in rapid succession.
Annihilation activates.
With Annihilation proccing repeatedly at its boosted 6 rate, and dodging the breath pattern flawlessly while dealing damage, phase 1 ended quickly.
Remaining health: 50
They plunged straight into phase 2.
'Amazing...'
Kim Bong-gu, swinging his dagger, was speechless at Jeong Hoon's prowess.
Even accounting for the huge gap in skill, he'd never imagined it would be this overwhelming.
He hadn't even shaved off 2 with all his skills, but Jeong Hoon had wiped out the remaining 48.
- Whoa... fuck?
- Cracking it so casually lololol
- Dude... this doesn't feel like a regular boss?
- The phases confirm it's a raid boss!
- Whoa! So he melted a raid boss's health this fast?!
- No way... is that even possible? insane
- Bon Lord Wyvern? Kinda low health for a raid boss?
- Watching Honey3, doesn't seem like it...
The chat was exploding.
'It's not that I'm weakit's that guy's a monster.'
That's what Kim Bong-gu wanted to scream.
Even to him, Jeong Hoon's arrow damage was freakishly high.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't match a single one of Jeong Hoon's arrows.
Then, a purple flame flickered in the Bon Lord Wyvern's hollow eye sockets.
Phase 2 had begun.
Bon Lord Wyvern summons Mini Death Wyverns.
Mini Death Wyverns.
Dozensno, over a hundred small black wyverns materialized above the nests.
Five even spawned on the Bon Lord Wyvern's back where Kim Bong-gu was.
- Balance is wrecked lololol
- Honey1 gets a ton, Honey3 only five?
- Pfft. You're the real honey pot from now on.
He wanted to argue, but it was true, so Kim Bong-gu cheered inwardly.
'Fuck yeah, thank god!'
Better to swallow his pride and handle five than get swarmed by over a hundred.
That monster would handle the rest somehow.
'Kid, I can read your mind.'
Jeong Hoon smirked at Kim Bong-gu perched on the Bon Lord Wyvern's back.
Only five Death Wyverns behind the boss.
Even Kim Bong-gu could handle that.
We gotta clear these to beat that fucker?
Muk-ho asked.
"Something like that."
Death Wyverns.
These were summons created by the Bon Lord Wyvern squeezing its own health.
Remaining health: 10
Must defeat all Death Wyverns to attack Bon Lord Wyvern.
The boss, drained from the effort, went still.
'I'll end this quick.'
Jeong Hoon swapped weapons from Anima to Leviathan.
Mini Death Wyvern uses Health Drain.
Mini Death Wyvern uses Movement Slow.
Debuffs stacked on, making his body feel like lead and his health plummet.
Uses Cleanse.
Uses Mid-tier Healing.
The debuffs cleared instantly, of course.
Jeong Hoon healed his health and launched into movement technique, soaring forward.
He closed in on the nearest Mini Death Wyvern and swung Leviathan in a wide arc.
1st Form: Pierce activates.
Pierce activated, slicing into the Death Wyvern's flesh.
1st Form: Pierce activates.
Leviathan's Wrath activates.
Jeong Hoon kept chaining Pierce, batting away and slashing the charging Death Wyverns.
'Damage is low without marks.'
To handle numbers like this, he needed more marks.
"Kyaaak!"
The Death Wyverns bared claws and lunged to tear into him.
Each time, Jeong Hoon swung Leviathan, smashing them aside.
But no one wins forever against a swarmscratches started accumulating on his body over time.
Uses Mid-tier Healing.
Jeong Hoon healed while calmly wielding his sword.
'Minimize unnecessary movement.'
Clean, efficient swordplay was key.
'Always think ahead, create advantageous positions.'
Distance control against them was essential.
Extinction Sword level has increased.
Perfect timingExtinction Sword leveled up.
2nd Form: Erosion activates.
His sword strikes shifted.
From 1st Form to 2nd.
- Whoa...
- After Honey3, Honey1's cleansing my eyes?
- This is insane?
- What's Honey1's deal?
He hit the marked wyverns with Erosion for criticals first.
Jeong Hoon perfectly controlled distance, swinging Leviathan's hilt.
Each swing unleashed Erosion, critting the Death Wyverns.
Remaining health: 37
The marked ones with 1st and 2nd Forms were all under 40 health.
Jeong Hoon spun, pointing Leviathan's tip at them.
This was it.
3rd Form: Extinction activates.
Extinction.
The final form that pierced multiple marked monsters at once.
Jeong Hoon's body flashed and vanished, zigzagging through the marked Death Wyverns.
- He's nuts;
- What...
- Who sent a reinforcement shaman there?
- Confusing now. Is that even a reinforcement shaman?
- Mosaic means it might not be the same guy.
"Kieek!"
The last Death Wyvern vanished.
All Mini Death Wyverns defeated.
He'd cleared the core of phase 2: the Death Wyverns.
Uses Mid-tier Healing.
Jeong Hoon healed his scratches and swapped back from Leviathan to Anima.
He noticed the chat flooding but ignored itthis wasn't the time.
"Don't you ever get tired? Impressive."
Anima was awestruck.
Hmph, my master's got this easy.
Muk-ho answered confidently in Jeong Hoon's place.
"Yeah. This much is a breeze."
Jeong Hoon chuckled and drew Anima's string.
The boss's health was down to 10.
Time to finish it.
Remaining health: 9.76
Remaining health: 9.43
Health dropped with each arrow hit.
Kim Bong-gu going wild with daggers up top helped too.
Annihilation activates.
Remaining health: 7.26
Annihilation procced, accelerating the drain.
"Clack! Clack!"
The Bon Lord Wyvern prepared its final attack.
'End it fast.'
Annihilation activates.
Remaining health: 5.96
Annihilation kept proccing.
Arrow barrage continued.
Annihilation activates.
...
Annihilation activates.
Remaining health: 0.18
Just 0.18 left.
Jeong Hoon released the drawn string, firing the arrow.
It sank in with a deep thunk, unlike before.
The bones comprising its body turned to ash and scattered.
First to defeat Bon Lord Wyvern! Achievement: 10,000 points awarded.
"Whew, it's down. Took quite a while."
Only then did Jeong Hoon sigh in relief and glance at the chat.
- Insane, and that's 'quite a while'?
- No clue what Bon Lord Wyvern is, but why's it so easy?
- Weapon reveal pls?
- Job reveal! Betting 1 mil won!
- 1 mil? Who'll pay big? I'll do 3 mil first.
- 10 mil.
- 20 mil.
The stakes kept climbing.
"Is the job that important? Anyway, today's honey spot: Wyvern's Nest."
Now for the rewards.
The bones from its body fell onto the first nest, with items dropped beside them.
Special EXP Potion
First, the Special EXP Potion.
Drinking it guaranteed 1 level for anyone under level 201.
This dropped 100 on Bon Lord Wyvern kill.
And not just onefive of them.
The viewers lost it at the sight.
- Wait, that potion drops here?
- Whoa... real honey. 5 5 levels?
- Fuck, should I farm here?
- But... won't it take forever?
- Special EXP Potion? Worth the grind.
And one more.
For being first to kill Bon Lord Wyvern, a special reward.
Bon Lord Wyvern's Heart
He'd secured the heart that should've gone to Sophia.
