Ice was looking at me. Her fear was not gone, it was still there.
'How can I make her fight alongside me? '
Too many questions circling in my mind but the main one was of course related to my own survival.
Even if she dies, she can easily come back to life—but I, I cannot.
The boss finally calmed down.
But suddenly I felt a very minor vibration coming from the ground.
The place where that corpse was laying beside the crimson bush, suddenly a vine came out of it.
'FRENZY VINE!? '
'CAN THIS BOSS USE IT TOO? '
I looked towards the boss and the boss was staring dead into my soul.
A cold sweat ran down my spine.
GULP
I was scared, really scared. But what can I even do at that moment? Nothing of course. The boss was eventually stronger than me.
'Only if I had known that it was this much powerful, I would have leveled up more. '
But then I saw some small things moving under the shadow of the boss.
Forest Elf Flowers.
'Oh, so they are the one using Frenzy Vine. '
And then another vibration came but it was right under my feet.
DASH
I dashed forward and dodged it by a hair's length.
The boss swinged it's right arm on me.
I ducked down and dodged it too.
My right arm was in pain.
'Fuck. I can't move my arm much. '
But there was something I had to do to survive.
And then something fell on my head.
Rain drop.
It suddenly started raining.
[All the stats of plant-based creatures have been buffed by x1.5]
'WHAT THE FUCK!? '
Another cursed thing to happen with me.
Now even if Ice joins the battle, it won't do good as her summon uses fire element.
Water cancels fire and so it won't be of much use.
I exhaled a deep breathe.
Because no matter in how much disadvantage I was in—I just couldn't give up. My life depended on it.
I dashed forward once again to slain down the Forest Elf Flowers.
But the boss this time swinged it's left hand on me.
I ducked down again to dodge it.

A vine came out of the ground under my feet again and this time I pushed myself back to dodge it.
Right behind that vine was the another Forest Elf Flower.
But a sudden shadow came on me.
I looked above.
'I am done for. '
It was the right hand of the boss which it was using to strike me down.
But then a fireball came and the hand got engulfed by fire which extinguished in 5 seconds because of the rain.
But it gave me some time to dash forward and kill that Forest Elf Flower in front of me.

I looked towards the direction from where that fireball came.
It was Ice and her summon—Alissa.
She looked at me, heavily breathing, her hairs were wet from the rain falling on her face. Same situation with Alissa, her whole dress was sticking with her body because of the rain. Her hair strands were falling on her face due to rain. Her right hand was extended towards the boss.
Ice looked at me in the eyes and said, "Okay, I will help you. But you better take this bastard down. "
I looked at her with a smile, moved towards the boss, swinged my sword to remove blood and water from it and replied, "You bet. "
I could hear battle sounds coming from behind the boss.
It was probably the group of the players fighting the Forest Elf Flowers.
The ground was totally under the influence of the rain. The soil became wet and sticky.
Mud was all over my shoes, my face along with the blood.
The boss moved it's right hand in pain but then regenerated the damaged parts again.
'There must be a weak point. '
I looked towards Ice and said to her, "Ice, cover my back. "
And then I dashed forward.
SLASH SLASH SLASH
I launched several strikee on it's waist but they were of no use.
The boss again struck down it's right hand on me and another fire ball struck it.
I again got time to get out of it's range.
The body structure of the boss was really complicated. There was no real opening on it's body.
As our attacks were not strong enough to give it a severe wound.
The only one strong enough to give it a severe wound was Ice using her summon but because of the rain it was useless too.
I was now standing infront of the battle of the group of the players and the Forest Elf Flowers.
There were few players using Alissa.
'Idea. '
I screamed to them, "Hey! You guys! Those who have Alissa help us! "
Those with Alissa looked at me.
One of them asked me, "But how! "
I replied, "Follow me! "
They somehow got out of that complicated and ridiculous battle with their allies watching their back and followed me.
Somehow I along with those players arrived in front of Ice who was using Alissa.
The plan was simple, I just needed an opening to look for it's weak point.
But the only one who can provide me that opening was Alissa.
Including Ice, there were 8 players with Alissa.
A combined attack of 8 Alissa would do me a great favor and so I explained all of that to them.
All of them got ready.
But Ice hesitated a bit.
She asked, "What if you didn't find any opening? "
I replied while leaning forward, ready to dash, "In that case, we will launch an all out attack. "
I dashed forward and the boss swinged it's right hand on me again but this time, a very big fireball striked it's right hand, totally burning it and turning it into ashes.
The boss couldn't regenerate it back and so it striked me with it's left hand.
Ice shouted, "We can't stop that left hand. There's still some time before we could use our skill again. "
I replied, "Don't worry! "
"Serpent's Vision. "
My Rodrigo's Wrath was engulfed by the red aura and that red aura took the shape of a serpent and went flying towards the coming left hand of the boss.
SLASH
The left hand was cut off.
[You have gained a random buff: Strength Of Fallen for 30 seconds]
