Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster-Chapter 27: The Skeleton King Boss Monster

The Skeleton King stood up from its throne and extended its hand.

As it did, a massive bone javelin manifested.

Before Rael could question it or attack, it was sent flying right at him.

He narrowly dodged, his banana peels almost slipping off his feet.

Cheap item. I should've just crafted boots instead. Rael grumbled, glancing at the Skeleton King.

The next moment, he began casting, and soon, a massive fireball flew toward the Skeleton King, striking its black chestpiece.

[MP -475 41,525/42,000 (Fireball)]

-2455!

Huh? Rael's eyes widened.

That barely even made a dent in the Skeleton King's HP.

Where did my chunky 10,000 per hit go? he complained and was met with another bone javelin.

This time, it managed to slightly graze him.

[HP -1550 31,650/33,200]

Hmm... Rael hummed in thought for a moment before coming to one simple conclusion.

This won't be easy.

One way to get the desired effect was to strip down the Skeleton King's armor.

However, that Fireball from earlier only managed to leave a small scorch mark.

That meant he could do two things: one, get a better staff, or two, get a better skill.

Therefore, he quickly opened the Premium Shop and searched through his possibilities.

Finally, he stumbled upon one interesting skill.

—Premium Shop—•

Category: Skills/Crystal/Armor Piercing

•—Balance: 17,598 Trell—•

• Fractured Prism (Uncommon): 10,000 Trell

It was expensive, sure, but the description more than made up for it.

Fractured Prism: (Uncommon)

—Summon a floating prism that fractures over time, releasing crystalline shards that deal 8,500 Crystal Damage every 4 seconds to all enemies within range. The shards explode in a concentrated blast, dealing an extra 1,500 Crystal Damage and stripping armor.

Radius: 10 Meters

Duration: 12 Seconds

Cost: 5,000 MP

He pressed on it with hesitance, and soon, a new skill appeared in his system screen.

However, as he noticed the Skeleton King summon yet another javelin, Rael immediately used the new skill.

[MP -5000 36,525/42,000 (Fractured Prism)]

A large crystal shot out of the ground, refracting what little light there was around him.

But not even a moment later, he heard a loud crack, followed by a small rainbow crystal projectile embedding itself into the Skeleton King's chest.

-11650!

That was not all, as before the Skeleton King could even react, the rainbow crystal lit up in a bright light and exploded silently.

-3096! Critical Hit!

Yet despite it being silent, it was certainly deadly, as a small hole appeared in the Skeleton King's armor, slightly revealing its bones.

However, before Rael could get too excited, the Skeleton King suddenly dashed away back to its throne, getting out of range from his skill.

Yet that was not all, as the Skeleton King materialized a javelin, and instead of throwing it toward Rael, stabbed itself through the chest.

What is it doing...? Rael tilted his head, when all of a sudden, the Skeleton King lit up in a red light.

And with that, a new popup:

—Awakened Skeleton King (Vice-General Class Boss) [Level ??] [255,000/255,000 HP]

Rael's eyes widened at the boss's rank.

It was Vice-General class, meaning it was one rank above Rare. That meant the boss was now at least Level 50.

But aside from the rank, its stats were basically double what they had been a few moments ago, and at Vice-General and up, Boss Monsters really start to become troublesome.

Still, this pissant will give me that much more experience now. Rael thought with a sly grin, which froze upon meeting the Boss Monster's red eyes.

It could see now, which made the fight that much harder.

Nonetheless, Rael's mission was pretty simple.

Break its armor, kill the boss monster.

Easy.

The Skeleton King manifested a javelin again, just this time, many times faster, then threw it directly at Rael.

He sidestepped, with only his clothes being ripped.

However...

[HP -7100 24,550/33,200]

"How... You bony fucker..." Rael glared at the boss monster before using his new skill.

[MP -5000 31,525/42,000 (Fractured Prism)]

[MP -5000 26,525/42,000 (Fractured Prism)]

[MP -5000 21,525/42,000 (Fractured Prism)]

[MP -5000 16,525/42,000 (Fractured Prism)]

The Skeleton King didn't see this coming, and since Rael planted the prisms in the middle of the boss room, they all shot straight toward the boss monster, who couldn't approach Rael at all.

-11650!

-11650!

-11650!

-11650!

It lit up like earlier, followed by:

-3096! Critical Hit!

-3096! Critical Hit!

-3096! Critical Hit!

-3096! Critical Hit!

Finally, an opening became visible, and the area where the Skeleton King had stabbed itself earlier finally crumbled, revealing its entire chest.

It's time... Rael prepared himself with a grin and waited for the Prisms to fracture again, until eventually, they did.

-12436! Critical Hit!

-12436! Critical Hit!

-12436! Critical Hit!

-12436! Critical Hit!

Just before they exploded, Rael used his Fireball skill.

[MP -475 16,050/42,000 (Fireball)]

-15000! Critical Hit!

And soon, the prisms lit up, before detonating.

-3096! Critical Hit!

-3096! Critical Hit!

-3096! Critical Hit!

-3096! Critical Hit!

Rael felt like his progress was good, so he checked the boss monster's HP again.

—Awakened Skeleton King (Vice-General Class Boss) [Level ??] [118,888/255,000 HP]

He had managed to dwindle its HP down quite a lot, and frankly, it seemed like he was about to win any second now.

However, a sudden popup made him stop.

The fuck do you mean 'unavoidable'!? Rael thought in panic as he extended his arm forward, preparing the perfect timing—which was in exactly a second.

-12436! Critical Hit!

-12436! Critical Hit!

-12436! Critical Hit!

-12436! Critical Hit!

The rainbow crystals embedded themselves into the Skeleton King's glowing red eyes.

At the same time, Rael began spam-casting Fireball.

[MP -475 15,575/42,000 (Fireball)]

[MP -475 15,100/42,000 (Fireball)]

[MP -475 14,625/42,000 (Fireball)]

[MP -475 14,150/42,000 (Fireball)]

-15000! Critical Hit!

-15000! Critical Hit!

-15000! Critical Hit!

-15000! Critical Hit!

Huh? Why can't I—

—Basic Skeleton Elemental Staff (Uncommon)

Durability: -1/1000

"Piece of shit item." Rael scoffed, and despite his momentary worry, the rest of the embedded crystals soon exploded, destroying the Skeleton King's skull in the process.

-3096! Critical Hit!

-3096! Critical Hit!

-3096! Critical Hit!

-3096! Critical Hit!

—Gabriel, The Awakened Skeleton King (Vice-General Class Boss) [Level 50] Killed! Experience: +48,500>

<+28,660 Trell Acquired>

<+1200 Trell Bonus>

Rael didn't accept right away. Instead, he stared at a particular number that had caught his eye.

I cleared the second dungeon... And there were three symbols at the start... A massive grin began spreading across his face as he let out a sigh and pressed "Yes."
