《Zenith》8 - The Curved Saber of San Martin
Advertisement
Well, i still had to make the best out of this worst situation. I calmed my mind down to the point that it was completely empty and the next thing that entered my mind would have 100% focus on it. Obviously, i tried to think about the ways through which defeating the boss was possible and make up a strategy. Under the immense pressure i was in, the best strategy i could think up was to stall time until i get a sword strong enough to kill the boss. My present replica of [Curved Saber of San Martin] gave me a boost of agility so it would help me avoid the attacks and stall time. Now it was the time to act.
I activated the [Theft] function of the sword and slashed across the face of the boss, succesfully stunning him for 3 seconds. I slashed the boss as many times as i could within those 3 seconds and immediately withdrew after the stun was over. Edwin's face no longer looked like a human as his eyes started to become red and his face started developing cracks. He licked the blood on his face caused due to my attacks, with a unexpectedly long tongue. Then he looked at me and said:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA IS THAT ALL YOU CAN DO? AHAHAHAHAH. IM SORRY BUT I HAVE TO KILL YOU HERE, LIL BRAT"
Ughhh keep your disgusting words in your disgusting face.
He then jumped up and smashed the ground with his hand.
"BAMM!!" The ground have cracked with just one punch. I definitely wouldn't want to get hit by that. To maximize the stalling period, i started to run in circles around the boss. Every time the boss punched, his fist would miss me by about 10 centimeters. This went up for 1 minute. My legs started to shake as my stamina dropped and i started to feel a bit dizzy due to all the circular motion. I barely could dodge the upcomming attacks. I would not last for the 2 minute time period if this continued. While i was observing the surroundings to develop another stratregy i suddenly got hit by a punch.

Fckkkkk i only have 200 hp left! damn, i really need to do something
I got back up and after a few seconds, a wicked smile could be seen on my face. If you could actually see that smile, you'd probably be creeped out and never read this novel again. But the good thing was, there was a smile there for a reason. I ran about 10 meters to my left and picked up a test tube. The label on the test tube read [fluoroantimonic acid]. Fluoroantimonic acid is the strongest acid known to man and it would surely be able to corrode the boss's eyes. I ran straight to the boss and dipped down, dodging the punch he threw at me and jumped up. I threw the acid straight into the boss's eyes causing the eyes as well as the skin around it to corrode.

That was an impressive plan indeed. Not only did i manage to blind the boss but i also dealt high damage. After the boss, it was very easy to avoid the boss's attacks. He would punch wherever the fuck he wanted to. I avoided the attacks for 2 minutes and it was time for my [Pandora's Sword] to reset. However, i still could'nt see any change in the appearance or the name of the sword. I observed further and read it's stats.

So, this was the original form of the sword. It is certainly quite amusing to see that i got this immediately after it's own replica. Killing the blind boss with this sword was no problem or so i thought. But, after the boss's health dropped to 10% the ceiling of the place started to shake violently. The boss was probably trying to cast the [Rocket Crash] skill. I immediately calmed down and activated theft, successfully stunning the boss as well ass interrupting the skill. I slashed the boss for another 2 times and then the boss's body lay dead on the floor.
2 dings? wtf
Someone actually managed to slay a gold tier boss this early in the game? Looks like my luck isn't the only thing that's overpowered. A strong rival has appeared!

AUTHOR'S NOTE:Hi guys! This novel is just a pet project of mine, to exercise my imagination and vocabulary. The regularity of uploads will depend on how well this catches on (but nonetheless, expect at least 1-2 ch/wk).I proofread my own work before uploading it, so there may be grammatical errors or misused vocabulary. Please let me know in the comments and I'll fix it. I found inspiration for this novel from various sources (Cyberpunk 2077, The Mech Touch, etc.) so in some places you may find some similarities. Please note that it is just an inspiration and I'm not trying to blatantly copy those works. While I do have a general plot line in mind, the various volumes (or arcs) will be quite fluid and susceptible to influence from reader suggestions. This is so that my creativity doesn't stagnate. I hope you guys like my work. If not, please leave reviews! I appreciate any and all constructive criticism, and opportunities to improve myself. Scribblehub: Scribblehub_AoCWebnovel: Webnovel_AoC
