Thinking about today's encounters I thought about the dude that tried to rope me into fighting a boss. His party was probably wiped out, but the boss is still alive and kicking.
The boss's name is < The Dark Prince >. He is immune to Dark magic and since everyone around these parts are demons it is impossible to defeat it. Unless, of course, you have a skill or a spell of a different element.
To defeat a boss having a skill of a different element is not enough. You have to be at least Lv. 50 and be adept at combat.
The boss fight occurs in the middle of the dark forest where the < Gloomy Castle > is located. The boss is located in the Library and will not move from his place unless aggroed. The Dark Prince has a variety of spells and skills under his belt and will not be easily defeated.
And I was planning to defeat it Lv. 3... Solo.
A small smile crept on my face. The boss's drops are more than worth it. Since the Dark Prince is a mage, upon his death the loot he will give will be more suitable for mages. In my previous lifetime the Boss dropped some Spell books that were very useful for mages.
Since the boss is deemed < Hidden > his drops will be unique. My eyes shone with a strange glint.
Turning my head from the Hologram I quickly opened Oliver's shop.
I sold all of the Salamander drops.
~~~~
Items Sold:
1?? < Salamander Scale > x18
? 180 Gold Coins
2?? < Fiery Meat > x17
? 85 Gold Coins
3?? < Salamander tooth > x2
? 40 Gold Coins
~~~~
Now I have 405 Gold Coins.
Selecting the buy option I dived into the Spell section of the shop. I wanted to buy some long ranged spells for a boss fight. The darkness Element is weak against Light, unfortunately demons can't wield Light spells.
Scrolling through the massive list I arranged some filters before finding a perfect Spell.
~~~~
1?? < Lightning Spear > ?
-- Throw a lightning projectile at your enemy
~ Cost 15 MP
~ 20 second CD
Spell Cost ? 250 Gold Coins
~~~~
Buying the Item I received a Spell book and instantly used it.
< New Spell Learned! >
I once again started filtering out the items and chose to search for passive skills within my budget.
~~~~
1?? < Mana Regen > ?
-- Absorb Mana Naturally
~ +5 MP per minute
~ No cost
~ No cooldown
Cost ? 100 Gold Coins
~~~~
Buying the Skill I once again learnt it.
< New Passive Skill Learned! >
I opened my Skill and Spell Tab to make sure everything is prepared.

Nodding my head I opened the system Map. Marking the Salamander nest I started walking towards the Dark Forest while humming a well know melody.
To at least move the boss's HP I needed to level up my Lightning Spear to a higher Lv. I also wanted to Level up my Mana Regen to regenerate MP faster.
Passing through the People I went deeper into the forest where more and stronger monsters are located. While passing through the trees I recalled the group that passed through the tree I was sitting in. They were probably going to attempt to kill the Dark Prince.
Shaking my head I already marked the party as dead.
Hisssss....
I heard a monster hiss at me. Turning my head I saw a Fire Lizard eyeing me. The higher level the monster is the smarter it gets. For example Elite Fire Salamander which was Lv. 5 could ambush me, but this Lv. 1 monster couldn't comprehend that attacking his enemy in surprise gives better results.
Channeling MP, I started forming a Lightning Spear in my hand. At first MP was normal with no affinity, but suddenly the spear started receiving lightning particles and MP took the form of a tangible lightning spear.
Clenching the spear a smile spread on my face.
How much I longed for this feeling.
Whooshhh....
The Spear pierced through the air impaling the Salamander.
- 124 Magical Damage!
< Fire Salamander x1 Killed! >
< LOOT >
1?? 20 EXP
2?? Salamander scale x1
3?? Fiery meat x2
~~~~
The damage was double of the Darkness Blast. Collecting the loot I moved further in the forest. I made sure to walk towards the castle.
Spear by spear I killed Salamanders one by one.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
< Fire Salamander x3 Killed! >
< LOOT >
1?? 60 EXP
2?? Salamander scale x5
3?? Fiery meat x6
~~~~
My spell finally Leveled up.
< UPGRADES >
1?? Lightning Spear <Lv.1>? <Lv.2>
~ +5% Damage
~ +2% To Inflict Status Effect
Usually to recover your MP one needs to consume a Mana potion, but with Mana Regen I just needed to wait. Nearing the castle another level up notice appeared before my eyes.
< UPGRADES >
1?? Mana Regen <Lv.1>? <Lv.2>
~ +50% Mana absorption
Going further into the forest I didn't see another Salamander or other monster. It is probably because the Dark Prince's territory is like a repellent to weaker monsters. Usually normal monsters don't stay near the bosses, because of their intimidating presence.
Once the < Hidden > Dark Prince will be defeated he will not respawn due to his < Hidden > rarity. After his presence is gone the monsters will probably inhabit this territory.

Hidden bosses do not respawn!
