BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22 - Episode 22: World Boss. (5)
A high-pitched explosion sound hurt my eardrums. I opened my eyes and nothing happened. Ivonna and the other were watching from the distance. Their mouths wide opened and couldn\'t believe what did they just saw. I chuckled and smirked.
"That was terrifying..."
[Title "Lone Survivor" obtained!]
[Lone Survivor: The only survivor from Queen Arachne\'s ultimate skill, [Screaming Scythes]. Queen Arachne acknowledged your worth. LUK +50, every 5 LUK increase 1 STR when equipped. Can only use one title at a time.]
I scoff and tilt my head.
"Huh, would you look at that?"
I look at Ivonna and Emma. Both of them are signaling me to bail out from the battle. I shrug and shake my head. Emma is pointing at something behind me. I turn around. Kingstar and Queenstar are back.
"Hey, who are you?"
I\'m staring at them from the corner of my eyes while dodging Queen Arachne\'s attacks. I\'m slowly bringing Queen Arachne to them. They both stupidly run towards me then go to the backline of the Arachnes.
"Let that guy aggro, Queen Arachne! We need to focus on killing Amelio Arachne first!"
I smirk and scoff.
"You made a grave mistake. But thank you for that."
They\'re attacking Amelio and then Queen Arachne turns around and runs towards them. They are all surprised and the teams are scattered with no plans. Luckily they still can handle them even without any plans.
I\'m running towards the woods and approach the other. Ivonna is still looking at me with disbelief
"How did you survive from that?!"
Emma is pointing at me.
"I told you, it\'s because of his stats."
They are looking at me in silence and waiting for my answer. I sigh and share my status screen with the party members.
"Before I showed it to you. Can you stop the stream for a moment first? And please keep it a secret. I\'m the one who disturbed Queen Arachne and caused chaos to the players and the game, at least this is enough to pay for what I did."
Ivonna and her friends are looking at each other and then nod. Ivonna looks at me.
"Okay, we stopped the streaming."
I showed my status screen to them.
[Name: [Lone Survivor] Trevor

They\'re covering their mouths while looking at me with disbelieve. Michael grabs my shoulders and leans against my face.
"What the actual f*ck?! How did you get all of these status points?! Moreover, your LUK is more than two thousand with a 100% Dodge chance?! That\'s why you managed to survive all of that!"
I close my screen status and sigh.
"It\'s not important right now. I will tell you what I want to tell you later. We need to focus on what\'s in front of us."
They are all looking at me and Francesca raises her eyebrows and looks at Kingstar and his raid teams struggling to survive from Queen Arachne.
"How long do you think they will survive this time?"
Ivonna is leaning towards the tree while crossing her arms. Her left eye is covered by her white silk hair. She takes a deep breath.
"There are fewer players with him right now than before. I think they came here hurriedly."
Hans is resting on the tree branch.
"Around 45 minutes maybe? Queen Arachne one-hit kills the players who grabbed the aggro. They\'re slowly losing their tanker."
Emma nods with an agreement.
"Trev, what should we do now? Are we going to wait for them to get wiped out again?"
They all look at me. I nod.
"Yeah, that\'s right. I think we can finish this faster than I expected."
Ivonna is looking at me from the corner of her right eye.
"Why is that?"
I\'m pointing at Michael. Michael is pointing at himself.
"Me?"
I sit on the tree roots.
"Yeah, you have the rare skill Berserker, right? I have a plan."
They all walk towards me and sit down in front of me. I smile.
"Let\'s divide into two teams. The first team will be distracting Succor. The second team will be killing Garrison and Michael will be on the second team for that."
They are looking at me with confusion. I smirk.
"I know what you guys are thinking, but listen to me first. His Berserker skill is very important to my plan, so please listen to me carefully."
I grab a twig and play it around.
"Garrison has a high HP and DEF, right? I want Michael to keeps attacking him without losing his Berserker\'s stacks. I want the first team to distract Succor at the same time when Michael is gaining his stacks from Garrison."
Leonardo is still not convinced of the plan.
"If we do that, isn\'t the Amelio Arachne will heal one of them to full health again? We are just going to waste our time."
I shake my head and I\'m pointing at Michael.
"It\'s quite the opposite. What will happen when Michael\'s damage stacks reached more than 100.000 damage per hit?"
Their mouths are wide open and thinking the same thing. Michael smirks.
"I can one-hit Amelio, Succor, Garrison, and I can kill Queen Arachne with just a few hits."
Ivonna is rubbing her lips with her finger.
"But that would be impossible to do since we only have two hours before Queen Arachne going to use her ultimate skill. Mike will lose his stacks when he stopped attacking within five seconds."
Michael is clicking his tongue and scratching his forehead.
"Right, we forgot about that, didn\'t we?"
I chuckle and shake my head.
"I believe it is possible."
They\'re all looking at me while furrowing their foreheads. I stand up and walk a bit far from them.
"If my theory is right. We will be able to do that plan without a problem."
I look at Emma and wave at her to come to me. Emma tilts her head and walks towards me. I stand in front of her. I look at Leonardo, he raises his eyebrows.
"Can you use AoE spell on me?"
Emma is surprised and immediately grabs my shoulder.
"Hey, I\'m here! I\'m going to die if I got hit by that! Are you crazy?"
They all agreed with her statement, except for Ivonna. She smirked and chuckled.
"Interesting. I would like to see it as well."
Leonardo is looking at Ivonna with confusion.
"Huh? See what?"
Ivonna noticed what I\'m trying to test. Ivonna nods.
"Just do it, Leo."
Leonardo is looking at the others and they all just shrug. Leonardo sighs.
"You\'re the boss."
Leonardo is casting a thunderstrike spell at me. Emma is hugging me from behind so tightly.
Bang!
The sound of the crackling sound of thunder and hitting the ground is making me shiver all over my body. Ivonna is chuckling while shaking her head.
"I can\'t believe it worked out well..."
They still don\'t understand what just happened and what\'s the point of doing that. Ivonna smiles.
"Don\'t you all understand? As long as we are standing behind him as close as possible, we will also have a 100% dodge chance because of him standing in front of us and protecting us from any kind of attacks and spells."
All of them stand up with excitement. Francesca is laughing.
"Holy sh*t. That is just overpowered."
Ivonna is nodding with an agreement. She walks towards me and stands behind me. Then Michael, Francesca, and Hans. Ivonna pulls the three of them closer to me and looks at Leonardo.
"Do it again, Leo."
Leonardo nods and casts Thunderstrike spell on us and it misses. He cast Fireball spells and it also misses. He cast all kind of AoE spells he has but all of them misses. We are laughing because of how stupid it is, but if it works then it ain\'t stupid. Ivonna is looking at me with huge smiles on her face.
"I still can\'t believe this would work. Now we can proceed with your plan."
Everyone nod with an agreement. We all sit down in circles and they\'re waiting for me to explain the details.
"Okay, I still don\'t know what kind of skills do you guys have and your status values. So I\'ll let Ivonna decide on which is going to be with Michael on the second team and which is going to be on the first team. I honestly think that only one person is needed for the second team with Michael. It\'s better for those who can tank or take the aggro from Michael."
Ivonna nods.
"I\'ll do that. I think I\'m the only one who can do that. But what about the first team if they don\'t have tankers? Are they going to be fine against Succor?"
I smile and I\'m pointing at Leonardo.
"Succor is a spellcaster like him. I believe he should know what kind of spell that Succor is going to use. Succor has basic spells but its levels are maxed so be careful."
Leonardo is looking at Succor and nods.
"Yeah, if that\'s the case then it won\'t be a problem."
Ivonna stands up and approaches me. She shares her status screen with me.
[Name: [Fearless] Ivonna Ivon

"Do you think I can do it?"
I\'m squinting my eyes and then look at Ivonna.
"You used a lot of enchantment stones? You\'re more than qualified for this. So it won\'t be a problem."
Ivonna nods and then stands in front of us.
"So the rest of you will be on the first team while Mike and I are going to be on the second team. Trevor will aggro Queen Arachne and Assail for us like before. Is that right?"
We all nod. Ivonna grabs her lance and shield.
"Then let\'s do that after Kingstar and his raid teams get wiped out again. We only have 36 hours left before Queen Arachne brings havoc to Orion. I\'m not confident if we can make it in time, but with everyone here. All I can say is at least we will try our best."
We all chuckle and nod with an understanding while watching Kingstar and his raid teams struggling.
