Boss
A large open clearing, surrounded by tall, towering trees. Going through the forested area, the trees got progressively taller, till they reached this height, which is easily 100 meters up.
The clearing in front of me is devoid of grass, only filled with dirt and... Rusted weapons... As I slowly swim towards the center of the clearing, a sudden rumble catches me off guard, drawing my attention to the middle of the area.
A giant light grey octopus rises from the ground. The octopus has sharp pure red eyes and its body is littered with plates of metal, seemingly for defense.
As the octopus and I lock onto the eyes of each other, I can't help but let out a sigh of relief, seeing as all my energy has replenished since my battle with the bear, and since then I haven't encountered any trouble.
Seemingly done with sizing me up, the octopus let's out an irritated sound as each of its tentacles goes to grasp one of the weapons within the clearing.
Quickly dodging an overhead strike, I quickly start to dart around the clearing, trying to figure out a plan.
Deciding for the simplest option, I approach the octopuses head, aiming for where one of its tentacles connects to its body.
Before it can react, I form blades all along the bottom of my body, vibrating them as I ensnare myself around the tentacle.
Only... They aren't long enough. The blades I mean, the tentacle is too thick to be cut by the blades I can form, and I can't make them longer than they are right now so...
I see the octopus start to reach towards me with a tentacle and decide to do something dangerous.
Quickly I let go of the hyper energy forming my blades. Usually I'd slowly let it disperse due to it's unstable nature but...
*pshhhhhBOOOOM*
With a slightly muffled boom, the tentacle simply starts to glide away from the octopus in the water.
The cause of the explosion was of course the hyper energy being suddenly realized like that, which cause it to react violently.
Of course I didn't come of that unscathed, as the underside of my stomach is now slightly seared. Though it does seem like I ended better off than the octopus.
With one of it's arms missing, it doesn't seem to mind, going right back to swatting at me with it's array of massive swords.
I start to lead the octopus near the edge of the clearing, close to a tree, which he follows perfectly, even as he's trying to cleave me he doesn't realize until it's too late.
Quickly dodging the multitude of greatswords, he now has his blade stuck in a tree, which he of course tries to retrieve.
Only slightly thinking this octopus is stupid, I quickly go to another of his tentacles, employing the same strategy again.
*PshhhhhhhBOoOOOOM*
Again, with an explosion another tentacle is gone, which seems to finally piss off the octopus.
Losing his second arm, he seems to gain a sudden boost in strength as he yanks his blade from the tree. In an enraged state, he starts to launch a fast, strong, and somehow highly coordinated barrage of slices and strikes, trying to skewer me on one of his blades.
Maneuvering myself around his blades starts to get more difficult, and although his speed is still behind my own, it's still rather impressive with his coordination.
Only, he seems too focused on me, which I of course plan to take advantage of.
Placing myself nearer to his body, he still doesn't seem aware that I plan on fucking him up again.
When he's at the height of his speed and anger, completely focused on me and ready to chop me in two, I move myself near one of the tentacles he just used and...
*CHOP*
I got him to slice off one of his own tentacles, leaving him with only 5.
Removing another tentacle only seems to further enrage him, as the previous angry boy became an angry man.
Losing all his reason, his coordination completely deteriorates, while also boosting his attack and speed to the max.
This time, he actually puts me in a tough spot, causing me to need to teleport on occasion.
After a few minutes of dancing with the octopus, I finally realize that this tentacle motherfucker isn't going to let up.
With a quick dodge of his stupid fast tentacles, I teleport away from the area we were fighting in, appearing a few dozen meters behind him.
As I stare down the angry octopus, an opportunity suddenly appears... Right in front of me... Ready to cleave me into.
Pushing some energy into my eyes, hoping it will have the effect I want, I prepare myself.
Time slows down for me, my perception increasing as well as my senses.
Looking at the approaching blade that was thrown by the octopus at a massive speed, I can't help but think this will be a pain in the ass to pull off.
Approaching the blade head-on, I wait till it seems like the blade will hit me... And then I move to the left just a bit, making it a near miss.
As I scrape the edge of the blade, I quickly activate teleportation, making the blade disappear
Looking at the octopus, who I'm sure has a surprised face. Although I can't exactly read octopuses facial expression I'm sure it's there!
Celebrating the fourth tentacle gone in my mind, I can't help but notice the lack of reaction from the octopus.
Suddenly, as if on cue, the octopus starts to spin. It was a slow spin at first but then, it started to grow in speed, before creating an underwater whirlwind within the clearing.
Watching this happen, I can't help but find this kinda ridiculous.
'What the fuck is he doing? Is this a Beyblade? I've never seen it so I'm not sure...'

A/N: Ne me, I'm back, sorry for the lack of uploads. I would give you an excuse but its probably be something like 'I just feel that everyday the world starts to turn more and more grey. Every moment I'm aware of the missing color my drive, my motivation, even my ambitions start to fade, I just can't do it anymore, I can't do anything' and honestly that's kinda cringe so... Yeah?
Eh I'm joking, although even if I say that you won't know the truth so :p
The real facts is I had a slight writers block I guess? Other people who write here might have a similar experience maybe not, but I recently realized that sometimes you just have to force yourself to write something you really don't want to for the sake of progress.
Anyways I've got the next two chaps planned out so no need to worry about that.
Also yes, the boss has a second health bar.
Oh also I was supposed to tell you about the arcs, so basically. Also spoilers.
Beginning>Dungeon(now)>travel Civilization(probably really short)>city arc(longer)>joining a gang>another dungeon(maybe)>becoming an adventurer(this ones a big maybe)>kicked out of the world(new world, maybe an OC one)>To aru arc.
Okay yeah, I totally just gave you a list of the major things I can't to include, what about it? I stopped at To aru arc because I haven't thought beyond that yet.
Ah yeah, also the second world and to aru will also have other arcs, that I haven't planned out yet, so yippee, I love planning what to write instead if writing it :-|
Well that's all
Please~
Go~
Away~
