BXBX NOVEL Chapter 21 - Episode 21: World Boss. (4)
"I-is this for real?"
Michael stands up and looking at Queen Arachne.
I grab the Lazy Luck daggers from my inventory and drink the Luck Potion.
"Open Status."

EXTRA PTS: 72]
My dodge rate is still at 93.2%. That\'s not enough to make it work. 6.8% is too risky to aggro five of them since their attacks are enough to kill me instantly.
"This is not enough..."
Everyone is looking at me. Ivonna raises her eyebrow.
"What is?"
I shake my head.
"No, it\'s nothing."
I have 72 extra points. Should I use it? F*ck it.

A loud trumpet noise coming from above my head.
[Congratulation! Your luck will never betray you!]
[All stats+10]

A loud trumpet noise coming from above my head.
[Congratulation! Your luck will never betray you!]
[All stats+10]
...
All of them were surprised when they heard the sounds of the trumpet and saw the spreading angel wings above my head. +20 all stats and spent 60 extra points on LUK. I still have 12 extra points since I don\'t need to use it anymore for now. Emma approaches me and stands in front of me with her eyes wide open.
"What was that?!"
I shake my head.
"It\'s something that you should experience yourself someday. For now, let\'s focus on what\'s in front of us."
I check my status.

I look at them.
"Are you guys ready?"
Ivonna opened her inventory and put on her equipment. She grabbed a silver slim lance and a silver shield. She also equipped her sapphire and silver full plate armor and wears an armet helmet with blue long feathers running down her back. As soon as they saw Ivonna putting her equipment, they all immediately grabbed theirs as well.
Ivonna lifts the face guard and looks at me.
"So what is the plan?"
I\'m pointing at Hecatomb Arachnes. They all look at them.
"I want you all to focus on killing them first. We have two hours. Someone should remind the others about the time."
Francesca approaches me and tilts her head.
"Why is that?"
I\'m pointing at Queen Arachne.
"She will do that again. It was her ultimate skill, it\'s called Screaming Scythes. Two hundred meters radius around her will take fixed damage. So, I want you guys to run as far as possible. But, if can, I want you guys to kill one of Hecatomb Arachnes before that happens. Can you guys do that?"
Michael lifts his big axe and rests it on his shoulder.
"That should be easy if only the rest of them didn\'t attack us."
Leonardo, Francesca, and Hans nod with an agreement. I nod.
"Good, that\'s enough. I will take care of the rest of them."
Ivonna raises her eyebrows in confusion.
"How? You? On your own?"
I nod.
"Yeah, just trust me on this one."
Emma is stretching her body.
"Just believe in him, guys. You will understand when you guys see it for yourself."
They are all looking at each other and shrug except Ivonna. Hans is stretching his bow.
"Let\'s say we did what you told us to do. The question is, can you really grab their attention and ignore the rest of us?"
I nod and pointing at Amelio Arachne.
"That one. If I target that one, all of them will try to protect her since she holds an important role. I want you guys to stay as far as possible from Queen Arachne when you\'re killing Hecatomb Arachnes. Since I\'m targeting Amelio Arachne, her stats will be doubled for as long as I\'m attacking Amelio Arachne."
They all are humming with understanding. Ivonna is rubbing her chin.
"And what\'s the reason why we should focus on Hecatomb Arachnes first?"
I\'m pointing at Hecatomb Arachnes.
"Do you know why they have no ATK and DEF but have a lot of HP? You can tell by their names. They\'re the sacrificial lambs. Once Queen Arachne\'s HP dropped to 20%, she will eat one of them and her HP will go back to full. So basically if we don\'t kill them first, Queen Arachne will regenerate her HP to full four times.
All of them are chuckling with disbelief while shaking their heads. I nod and continue.
"Also, please lure them away from Amelio Arachne as far as possible. If not, she will also heal them to full HP since she\'s the healer."
They all nod with understanding. Francesca is staring at the mini-bosses.
"What about the rest of them?"
I nod.
"Garrison\'s job is to protect Queen Arachne. Assail will target the player who is targeted by Queen Arachne. Succor\'s job is to buffs the others. So you don\'t have to worry about them since they all will be focusing on me."
Ivonna is crossing her arms.
"What\'s the next step? After we managed to kill all the Hecatomb Arachnes."
I nod and pointing at the mini-bosses.
"The next target is Succor. When she dies, we all don\'t have to run that far from Queen Arachne\'s ultimate skill anymore. The damage is lowered and the radius became a hundred meters because she didn\'t get the buff from Succor. The next one is Garrison. He will be a pain since his high DEF and HP and he will protect Queen Arachne and tanking the damages. But, once you killed him, Queen Arachne is pretty much wide open and you can attack her from all directions. Without him, we could prevent Queen Arachne from using her ultimate skill, but with our current levels, equipment, and skills, we can\'t do that. The last one is Assail, this guy is easy to kill since his stamina will be empty when you guys killed the rest of them because he will use all his stamina on me."
Michael is smiling.
"Then the best for last. Queen Arachne will be on her own."
I nod with an agreement.
"Correct. It will be a long and hard battle, but it\'s doable. I believe in you guys."
They all nod. Ivonna put her hand on my shoulder.
"We also believe in you. Please be careful, you\'re the core of this team."
I smirk.
"Don\'t worry about me. I\'ll wait for you guys at the other side."
They all chuckle and nod.
We all prepared for battle. Ivonna and her friends are live streaming to let the viewers know what\'s going on in the game right now. Ivonna then gave the signal. I ran towards Amelio and the rest of them ran towards Hecatomb on the backline. I ran as fast as I could but Ivonna and the others are already in range with Hecatomb. Queen Arachne turned around and ready to attack them. I threw my dagger at Amelio and did 1 damage. That\'s the most important thing. Once I hit Amelio, Queen Arachne will keep targeting me until I die. My LUK reduced by 33% and my dodge rate decreased by 30%. Queen Arachne and Assail looked at me and ready to attack me. If I get hit, I\'ll die.
I closed my eyes and held my breath, hoping that they will miss their attacks. A breeze of wind messed my hair and hit my face, I opened my eyes and they missed their attacks. I ran and grabbed the dagger. I exhaled deeply and started attacking Amelio with my cute damage which is 1. I dodged all of their attacks and slowly lured them away from Hecatomb and Ivonna\'s team.
My stamina depleted so quickly because of dodging all their attacks. I drunk the Stamina Potion every five minutes and it has been 45 minutes since we started the battle. I looked at Ivonna and the others. They were attacking one of the Hecatomb Arachnes restlessly, with 2% left. That was way faster than I thought and that was a good sign. With this speed, we could kill two Hecatomb Arachnes before Queen Arachne used her ultimate skill.

[Voice of the World]
[Congratulations to [I*********n], [M*********s], [F******K], [P*********a], [B*****t], [T****r], and [R*********r] on defeating Mini-Boss "Servant Hecatomb Arachne". They are the first players to defeat it. The rewards are [10 status points], [Diamond Mysterious Box], and [Fame +100]. May the Betelgeuse bless you!]
Kingstar, Queenstar, and the rest of the players that are in Fjel town preparing to give another attempt are looking at the sky. Kingstar clenches his fist and slams it on the table.
"How?! We should be the ones who get those!"
Queenstar stands up.
"How can that b*tch manage to kill it?! We should get going!"
Kingstar stands up and grabs his weapon.
"We will depart now! Who are still in preparation, we will leave you here. I need to get those kills!"
They all then depart and leave Fjel town.
[278.000 Exp gained!]
[You have leveled up!]
I used 16 Stamina Potion and that means it has been 90 minutes. I looked at Ivonna and the others and I was surprised because they were on the third Hecatomb and his HP is already at 40%. Did they kill the second Hecatomb in less than 30 minutes? I looked at Michael and I think I know the answer to that. He must be very lucky to get that rare skill, [Berserker].
[Berserker: Deals more damage the longer the player attacking the enemy. The stack reset after 5 seconds when the player stops attacking.]

They killed the last Hecatomb even before Queen Arachne used her ultimate. They all about to approach me. I shook my head and pointed at the woods. They all nodded and understood what I meant. I couldn\'t run away from her since I aggro her and even if I tried to run away from her, her movement speed is faster than mine, so it\'s pointless.
Queen Arachne finally spread her four legs. Succor is buffing her. Garrison is protecting Queen Arachne. I smirk.
"Bring it on!"
Emma and Ivonna are screaming.
"Trev! What are you doing?!"
