Chapter 190 Centaur Boss

?

Alex stood in a field of pitch darkness surrounded by sliced-up bodies of centaurs while six centaurs stood outside the miasma field with their eyes filled with horror and dread.

'It's about time he shows up.' Alex thought, looking at a towering centaur in the distance walking toward him.

The centaur stood twelve feet tall with a very muscular build, and his skin was cyan-green, and he held a thick chain with both ends having two giant double bladed axes as his weapon.

'The commander is strong, but the boss is a real monster.' Alex thought, looking at the status screen of the Boss monster.

The Boss stood high in the air holding a giant hammer made from a combination of wood and dark metal while donned in armor made from wood and vines.

The Boss was of similar stature to the commander centaur, with the few difference being the brown and white marking covering his body and the thick mana and killing intent he released.

The commander centaur had a little over half the stats of the Boss, and he didn't have any special skills like wood manipulation or any blessing boosting his strength.

'All his stats are higher than mine, and after the berserk, he would gain an additional stat boost of up to 50%.' Alex thought, making a few numbers calculations in his mind.

Alex hadn't checked the status of the Boss during his scouting because he was inside his log cabin, and he only knew that he was in the early fourth Rank stage because of the natural aura he saw using his unique eyes.

Alex knew the boss would be stronger than normal because of him having an underling at the same rank as himself, but he wasn't expecting the strength gap to be this different.

'After the stat boost from the Rage Embodiment skill and 20% stat boost from the title, I will have slightly lower agility and strength than him even when he went berserk.' Alex thought as he took a potion bottle and drank it while keeping his eyes on the Boss and stretching his Mana sense to its limit.

Alex activated the Rage Embodiment receiving a base stat boost of 110% for five minutes, while the title of Indomitable Conqueror was also activated, giving a 20% base stats boost for being in a hostile situation against a creature two Ranks higher than him.

"BOOOOMMMMM"

The commander centaur was named Edot, and he was first to make a move as he spun his chain, bringing down the axe on Alex, which he avoided by stepping back.

Alex avoided the second axe coming for his neck as he dropped the potion bottle aside while looking around for the boss as he had vanished from his location.

Alex shortened his mana sense to twenty meters while covering his sword in weak sword intent parry the incoming barrage of attacks from the remaining centaurs while engaging in the head-on battle against Edot.

Alex dominated Edot in strength or speed and, within seconds, created an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow, but at the last instant, he used the phantom walk skill to dodge an attack as he felt a presence behind him.

"BOOOOM"

Alex appeared behind one of the six remaining centaurs and decapitated him as he watched the boss slam his hammer on the ground creating a small crater and cracking it like a spider web.

Tajayo, The boss, looked toward Alex with a smirk before griping Edot by the face with his hand covered in brown and green energy.

'He can use the Forest Fairy Blessing on others?' Alex questioned, seeing the centaur commander's body covered by illuminating energy.

Alex didn't wait to see the result and used the phantom walk to appear behind another centaur decapitating him before sprinting toward the next target.

Alex didn't attack the boss even though he was vulnerable, instead he decided to use the few seconds to eliminate the remaining centaurs because he couldn't risk them receiving nature's blessing.

The forest fairy blessing used a percentage of user mana and health in exchange for boosting their base stats by the same percentage, with the cap being at 30% for six minutes.

In less than ten seconds, Alex slaughtered all the remaining centaurs just in time to see the result of the fairy blessing.

'This is unexpected.' Alex thought, seeing Edot's health down by flat 30% while The Boss only lost 10%.

After receiving the fairy blessing, Edot's body got covered in strange dark green tattoos with an illuminating hue, while his stats were boosted by 30%.

The Boss looked toward Alex with his cold eyes, and with a single back step, he reached tens of meters back from him, placed his hammer on the ground, and crossed his arm over his chest.

'I don't know if he is taunting me or he is too proud to battle against me two-on-one.' Alex thought.

"GRAAAAAAA"

Edot looked toward Alex and roared with his muscle swelling in size and covered in worm-like veins while his tattoos shined with a brighter illuminating hue.

'Minor Null Energy'

Alex's sword was brimming with a dark aura, slowly blending with purplish dark energy, and with the use of phantom walk, he appeared right before Edot, slashing his sword at his neck.

Alex's sword was blocked by a wind barrier that shattered instantly, and the same happened four times, slowing the blade enough for Edot to react in time and use his axe to defend his life.

Alex easily overpowered Edot making his arm flung back from the clash, but he was unable to injure him as he took multiple steps back in time to save his life while also creating distance from him.

The moment Alex's foot touched the ground, a magic circle lit under his feet before vanishing, and instantly he felt his body freeze in place with extreme air pushing his body from each direction.

"Wind Crusher"

"Wind Tornado"

Edot said silently, and instantly an even bigger magic circle appeared around Alex, which started releasing raging winds that turned into a tornado in mere moments.

Edot then firmly gripped his chain with both hands and started spinning them in circles to his left and right, and in mere moments, they gained momentum and started releasing sharp blades of wind at the raging tornado slicing it apart.

'You wish I would fall for such a petty trick.' Alex appeared behind Edot with his blade oozing in darkness and slashed it right at his neck.

Alex's sword met with multiple barriers, but they shattered like thin glass, and then his sword sliced through the area where Edot's neck was supposed to be.

'He anticipated my attack.' Alex thought, surprised to see Edot's face bound by a wood vine pulling him forward, making Alex miss his attack.
