Novel Bin Chapter 98 - Episode 98: Maelstrom Of Abyss. (2)
I enter the boss stage and immediately welcome by a voice.
[The wrath of the depth of the sea, Sulrk has awakened]
[Those who enter, cannot leave...]
[Those who are weak will die...]
[Those who are brave will be punished...]
[Sulrk, the wrath of the depth of the sea shall slaughter to prevail]

[The boss battle will begin in 30 seconds. Please prepare before the battle begins.]
A giant monster as tall as a five story building, holding a trident with fins on its arms, head, and back. It has no legs but has a bottom part like a snake with a fin instead. Its face looks like a scary fish with pointy teeth. Sulrk is glaring at me with his glowing yellow eyes. Sulrk is still inside a bubble until the battle begins.
"Open status..."
I check my stats and then look at Sulrk. I grab my [Lazy Luck Daggers] and scoff.
"After all this time, why not..."
I consume the [Celebration Drink (LCKY)], [Celebration Food (LUK)], and [Lucky Potion (U)].

I remove the daggers and equip my sickles.

I chuckle while staring at my status screen.
"This is broken. But I can still make it even worse."
I consume [Celebration Food (STR)], [Celebration Food (DEX)], [Celebration Food (VIT)], [Celebration Food (AGI)], [Celebration Drink (ATK)], [Celebration Drink (DMG)], [Celebration Drink (ASPD)], [Celebration Drink (S.DMG)], and lastly [Celebration Drink (C.DMG)]. At this point, I don\'t even want to look at my stats.
[The boss battle now begins]
[May the Betelgeuse bless you!]
Sulrk is charging at me at full speed with his minions. I smirk and readying my stance. I check the lowest monsters around him and I found the perfect target.
[Temptation is activated]
[HP is increased by 4.500, STA is increased by 1.000, ATK is increased by 750, DEF is increased by 1.250, MDEF is increased by 750]
"Thanks for that."
Sulrk and his minions are attacking me, and I dodge them without even have to pay any attention. Then I run past them and go to the other side of the map where the 3 Ocean Hearts are at while wrapping one of the sickles and then grab my scythe from my inventory. As soon as I\'m close with the Ocean Hearts, I use [Shadow of Death Lv. Max] and [Afterimages Lv. Max]. Then I use [Volley of Death Lv. Max] at one of the Ocean Hearts.
[12.972]
[19.526]
[19.526]
[19.526]
I scoff and immediately unwrap my sickle and start hitting the Ocean Heart stupidly fast because my ASPD is broken.
[Ocean Heart is destroyed!]
[Sulrk\'s status is reduced by 10%!]
...
[Ocean Heart is destroyed!]
[Sulrk\'s status is reduced by 10%!]

[Ocean Heart is destroyed!]
[Sulrk\'s status is reduced by 10%!]
...
Sulrk\'s body is shrinking. It\'s half of its original size now.
[Sulrk, the wrath of the depth of the sea (Thunderstorm) (Weakened)]
[Level: 1500]
[HP: 1.740.000]
[STA: 48.000]
[ATK: 9.000-18.000]
[DEF: 3.600]
[MDEF: 4.200]
I activate [Dominion] so it will be way easier to defeat him. Now I can kill him in just less than a minute. I use [Shadow of Death Lv. Max] and [Afterimages Lv. Max] then charges at him.
[Congratulation to [T****r] on defeating Sulrk, The wrath of the depth of the sea (Thunderstorm). He is the first one to defeat it. The rewards are [25 status points], [Unique Mystery Box], [Fame +1000]. May the Betelgeuse bless you!]
[5.000.000 EXP gained!]
[You have reached max level!]

[Deepsea Conqueror: Defeating Boss monster Salrk in the Thunderstorm phase. All stats+10, increase damage by 200% to Underwater type of monster, also decrease damage taken by 75% from Underwater type of monster when equipped. Can only use one title at a time.]
Salrk was barely able to use its mechanism and it\'s already dead when it just activated the skill. I walk toward its body to loot the drops. I\'m raising my eyebrows because I can see something glowing under its body. I immediately run and check the loots. When I see the loots, I chuckle and then laugh so hard.
[Fin of Salrk obtained!]
[Scale of Salrk obtained!]

[Sharp tooth of Salrk obtained!]

[Salrk\'s Soul Essence: Learn a unique skill [Cleave Lv. 3] when consumed. (When attacking, cleaving all nearby enemy units with the user attack by 100% cleave damage behind the main target with a cone-shaped radius within 5 meters of the main target.)]
"I never thought I would get Salrk\'s soul essence in my first try and his trident as well."
I consume the [Salrk\'s Soul Essence] and then leave the dungeon.
I\'m back at the inn where I was staying and then look at my friend list. Ivonna and the others are still in the dungeon and it seems that they\'re about to clear the dungeon as well since I can see that they\'re currently at the boss stage. I still can\'t believe I just got these two things. These two items can only be obtained from killing Salrk in the thunderstorm phase, so it\'s very very hard to get.
I\'m staying in the inn and lazing around while waiting for them to clear the dungeon. Right now, the other players must be looking for me, especially Kingstar. I bet he\'s annoyed right now. I did say that he can have the dungeon first, but it doesn\'t mean he should be the first one to clear all three phases. It\'s impossible for anyone to clear the thunderstorm phase for now anyway. They should be able to clear it when the max level cap is 500 which is still a few months from now.
I\'m reading something in the forum and then suddenly so many messages notification appears. I\'m startled and immediately open them. It\'s Emma, Francesca, and Michael who are spamming messages to me. They\'re asking where I\'m at, and as soon as I reply to Emma where I\'m at, in just a minute they all are outside of my room. I open the door and they all are bursting into my room.
Francesca is standing in front of me and then pushes me down onto the chair.
"What the f*ck! How did you manage to solo the thunderstorm phase?!"
I\'m looking up at Francesca\'s face. She doesn\'t seem mad and she just staring at me with curiosity.
"You just want to know about it?"
Francesca nods.
"Of course! We want to clear the thunderstorm phase as well! But we need your information first!"
They all nod with curiosity. I thought that they would be mad at me because I solo-ed the dungeon, but it seems that they don\'t care about it and all they want to know is how I solo-ed the dungeon. I push Francesca away so gently and then start to explain to them the mechanic and the secret stage, also how to do attempt the raid efficiently. They all are listening to me so carefully and looking at me so seriously. They all nod and Leonardo is writing everything I say on his note.
Michael is humming with understanding.
"Wow, that\'s way better than our strat! We should try it again in the strong phase with Trev\'s strat. If it\'s faster and easier, we can farm those loots from the elite monsters and Sulrk."
Francesca dives onto the bed and sighs.
"So it\'s still impossible for us to clear the thunderstorm phase, huh... that sucks..."
Ivonna is humming with understanding. But then she looks at everyone.
"Do you want to try the thunderstorm phase?"
Leonardo is looking at Ivonna and scoffs.
"With just the 7 of us? That\'s impossible. The Ocean Heart is way tankier and the monsters are buffed as well. It\'s impossible to clear the first stage by destroying it. If we want to really attempt to clear it, we need all the debuffs from each stage to weaken Sulrk. 10% is a lot in this case."
They all nod in agreement. Ivonna then tilts her head.
"If you really want to attempt to clear the thunderstorm phase. We need to work together with Kingstar, Boshcwell, Diamond, Lothair, Ken, and all the top 1000 players in the game."
Everyone is looking at each other and Francesca shrugs.
"Sure, why not. I mean, we don\'t have any problem with Kingstar anymore, but if he\'s being an ass, I\'ll beat him up."
Michael and the others are following Francesca\'s words. Ivonna smiles and nods.
"Okay, I will ask Kingstar personally. I believe he wants to do it. After that, we will open recruitment for the raid teams to attempt to clear the dungeon."
I chuckle and smirk.
"That would be fun. I\'ll watch."
