Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 148 - The Southern Oasis Crisis And The Treasure Of Serbal (X)

The Oasis that was once the pride and joy of the humans living in Southern Oasis has been polluted with a putrid smell and the sand is also littered with scales that smell weird for some reason. It was like a mixture of rotten fish and wet rotten garbage that has not been put outside to dry in the sun.

"Great, what a smelly place this is. A very thorough and troublesome cleaning is needed for this place to get rid of the putrid smell," Queen Tanya said while rubbing her nose.

"If cleaning is one of the quests available, I don't think I will be partaking in that particular quest if possible," Dolly said.

"I don't think we have to partake in that. Our main mission is to eliminate all of the demons and monsters that are inhabiting the former human villages and cities in Sandurk. We also have to deal with the one who caused all of this to happen," I said.

"That's right. The captains are already talking about it earlier that the dragon that caused all of this trouble in Sandurk is making its move after the defeat of one of the generals of the monsters," Harmless Sparrow agreed.

"You girls should know that Bladeheart here is the one who defeated that general. He soloed that one and didn't have any help from the soldiers," Queen Tanya revealed.

"Well, we already saw what Bladeheart can do, and seeing his weapon only makes it more natural so I am only a bit surprised but it was expected," Dolly shrugged. After all, she has personally seen the feats during the time we were trapped by the Leprechaun last time.

"Really?! Did he manage to solo a boss alone? Isn't that really hard especially right now that the bosses we have defeated so far also have the small mobs that we have to kill and interrupt your battle with the bosses?"

"Yep. If it wasn't due to Bladeheart managing to kill one of the big bosses, the battle against them would be hard. After the first death of the One-Eyed Giant, Moro, these allowed the monsters and demons to feel threatened once again," Queen Tanya explained.

As the girls continue their conversation, we arrive at the oasis. There, a large snake is currently inhabiting the water. The depth of the oasis is nothing compared to the size of the snake. It was too big that you can say that our size is pretty much insignificant compared to the boss.

"What the f*ck? Isn't this enemy too big even for us?! How can we even defeat this guy with this large body? We will just deal insignificant damage!"

I pulled out my weapon and changed it to a hammer and looked at them.

"I will take over from here, you three should support me on this battle instead and stay out of the main range of the boss."

Opening my inventory, I took out a few bottles of potions and hand them to the three.

"This is the main plan, to make sure you guys gained contribution to the boss battle, hit the boss once and escape the range of the boss before I take the aggro that was directed to the three of you. Once I successfully took the aggro, the three of you would use the potion every 50 seconds alternately. Dolly would throw one potion to the boss first, then 50 seconds after Dolly has thrown the potion, Sparrow would do next, then another 50 seconds and Tanya would do it again. After another 50 seconds, the cycle repeats once again. The DPS would be me and I will try to whittle down his HP."

The three received the potions and they got bewildered when they saw the potion.

"What potion did you got Tanya and Sparrow? I got Potion of Weakening with me and it is in 99 stacks," Dolly asked.

"Potion of the Cursed One," Tanya answered.

"Potion of the Four Pain," Harmless Sparrow said.

"We just needed to throw this to the boss? Isn't this the same as provoking the enemy using this one?" Harmless Sparrow asked.

"Nope, unless you deal damage on a monster or boss, the boss won't bother to attack you and if ever the boss will try to do that stunt, I will taunt it to attack me instead. You guys don't need to worry about it."

"Heh, interesting, then, we will get ready and you signal us when to attack," Harmless Sparrow said.

"Attack!" I shouted.

"That soon?!"

Queen Tanya didn't hesitate and throw her weapon at the boss and it dealt damage, causing its name to appear and his HP bar to become visible. Queen Tanya's weapon that she has thrown returned to her like a boomerang so she didn't need to pick it up.

[Serbal, the Serpent of the Desert]

HP: 29,985,320/30,000,000

Trait: Beast, Poison, Demon

The two girls were stunned when they saw the amount of HP has. It was a lot and they didn't expect it. Maybe this is their first time seeing those numbers.

"Don't falter girls! Go and deal some damage to Serbal!"

After hearing my voice, the two nodded and fired off their ranged attacks. After their attacks, Serbal slowly turned around and looked in our direction, his red eyes glow and his voice echoes in the surroundings.

"Who dares disrupt the sacred ritual to the point of attacking me?!"

Serbal then opened his mouth and fired off a huge fireball. I didn't waste my time dawdling and swing my hammer to the fireball, which causes it to bounce back and returned to him.

BANG!

"Now, Dolly! Throw the potion!"

"Yes!"

Dolly throws the potion bottle. It breaks upon contact and it emits some smoke after it made contact.

I quickly made a run around the oasis and started looking at some statues around the Oasis. This strategy is something I developed after fighting Serbal many times in the past since the Serbal boss battle is one of the memorial quests that can be replayed. It was a popular spot for farming Snake Scales for strengthening armors in the past timeline so I am quite familiar with Serbal.

If we want to defeat Serbal, we need to destroy the statues that are holding his treasure of his in place and steal it from him before he goes to berserk mode. Because if we reduce his HP too much before the treasure was taken and he goes to berserk mode, everyone here will die.
