pen pathway with a pickaxe in hand!

The ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’ eyes were darting all over the place trying to keep up with Izroth ’s speed but to no avail.
It could only roar angrily and brandish its pickaxe while striking at one of the many afterimages of Izroth.
But it did not stop there, it was crazily attacking multiple afterimages left behind by Izroth.
However, could such attacks even touch him at this moment?

Izroth still had 16 seconds remaining on his ’Flickering Steps ’ and so he had to take full advantage of it! He had noticed the ’Goblin Worker ’ rushing over towards him but it was still around 10 meters away.
During that time, he would be sure to whittle down the ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’ HP as much as possible.

…

Meanwhile, at Opal Town inside one of the small buildings, there were many players gathered.
Some players were leaving and others were going into the small building.
This was the temporary headquarters of a guild known as ’Blue Oasis ’, one of the top 10 guilds on the MMORPG scene.
Of course, when the first VRMMORPG was released, they invested much more resources into growing and advancing in RML.

A player rushed into the building looking a bit excited, ”Captain! I have found someone who says they have information on that world boss as well as some information on the player called Izroth.
You know, the one who cleared the first world boss! ”

At the back center of the room was a desk with a chair behind it.
On the chair sat a male with a sturdy build, brown hair and light green eyes.
He wore an ocean blue armor with light blue markings all over it in the shape of ocean waves.
On his face was a sharp look and although he did not look incredibly handsome, he still had the looks and gave off a peculiar aura of confidence that was enough to sway the heart of many women.
That man who was referred to as ’Captain ’ player ’s name was Niflheim.

Niflheim looked up at the player who hurried in with a look of interest.
Did he manage to find out something that fast? Niflheim was visibly surprised.
He was tasked by the guild leader to look into the matter of the world boss spawn point as well as Izroth, the player who cleared the first world boss.

”Is it from a reliable source, Olohas? ” even though Niflheim wanted information, he would not just believe anything he heard.
As one of the seven captains belonging to ’Blue Oasis ’, he had a responsibility to make sure things were done with efficiency and the correct way!

”Captain, I can guarantee you that the information you ’re about to hear cannot be false.
There ’s even something incredibly rare involved! ” Olohas quickly waved his hand towards the entrance area as though he was calling for someone to come in.

”Captain, this player said that he and his friends were in a party with the player known as Izroth.
This player Izroth shamelessly kicked them out when the world boss was low on HP, and then sneak attacked to kill them taking all the loot for himself and his two other friends! How cowardly! ” Olohas seemed to be infuriated by the injustice that had taken place.

”Is what he said true? ” this time Niflheim was talking to the person who walked into the entrance after Olohas gestured for him to enter.

”Yes, it ’s all true.
Those shameless cowards took everything for themselves! That player called Izroth even had a rare weapon! I can show you where the world boss spawn is, I only have one request.
I just want justice to be carried out! ” the player who Olohas had brought in was none other than Mick!

Niflheim eyes slightly narrowed as a cold glint flashed in his eyes, ”Tell me more ”

…

Izroth had no idea what was taking place at the moment in Opal Town, as he was focused on fighting the ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’! His ’Flickering Steps ’ had run out quite a while ago, but he managed to deal with the two ’Goblin Worker ’ monsters that spawned and dealt a great amount of damage to the ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’.
They seemed to spawn every 25% HP that the boss loss.
But Izroth himself also took a bit of damage as well.

1,020/3,000 HP Remaining! (Goblin Foreman Rthuja)

295/500 HP Remaining! (Izroth)

”I never expected to be given so much trouble by that skill! ” Izroth thought to himself recalling the skill used by the boss monster, ’Goblin ’s Trickery ’.
When he killed one of the ’Goblin Worker ’ monsters that the ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’ called out, it had exploded as though it was carrying an explosive!

Izroth did not expect the sudden explosion and had no time to retreat.
He ended up paying the price for it and taking 205 damage and becoming ’Confused ’.
Luckily, he was a good distance away from the ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’ at that moment and did not get attacked again right away or else he may have been in a more desperate situation!

Izroth ’s ’First Baneful Sword: Destruction ’ and ’Sword Force ’ were finally off cooldown again.
He would attempt to end it with his next strike!

”Sword Force…
First Baneful Sword: Destruction! ” Izroth ’s agility was no longer that monstrous 340, but only 85.
However, he was still slightly faster than the ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’ as that light milky blue aura accompanied by an oppressive and destructive force descended towards the side of the ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’.

Just as the ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’ was getting ready to block the sword strike, Izroth suddenly changed the direction of the attack midway and aimed it towards the neck area of the boss monster!

He had not been wasting his time during this fight.
He learned that if feints were executed properly, one would have a higher chance of successfully striking at a boss monsters vital points, even if they were on guard! Though changing the trajectory of an attack midway may seem easy, it required a lot of skill!

The ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’ cried out in its strange goblin language as if it were trying to call for another ’Goblin Worker ’ to come and assist it, but it was too late.
Izroth ’s sword arrived at its neck!

Critical Hit!

-1,390 HP!

0/3,000 HP Remaining! (Goblin Foreman Rthuja)

Izroth let out a small sigh of relief and soon after a smile formed on his face.
He had defeated a boss monster by himself! Though strangely the quest he had was still not completed, so that meant that there was possibly more than a single boss in this cave! What luck! Though, Izroth had no idea that multiple bosses were a common thing for dungeons.
The system alert finally went off in Izroth ’s ears.

Ding! Congratulations, you have defeated ’Goblin Foreman Rthuja ’!
