^Total 0 damage inflicted^

So much for 'Explosion is art' but inflict no damage at all still-

(As planned)

^Material Fire Drake Saliva Lv 230 is been burned and destroyed^

^Material Fire Drake Saliva Attribute ' Flamable' has been activated^

^Inflicted Gain Abnormal Status Effect 'Burn'^

^'Burn' damage 1 Hp worth of Lifepoints(100) until cured or all materials are burned out^

^Enemy Skill 'Deities Mana' has been activated^

^Enemy has Negate 100 Burn Damage^

^Total 0 damage inflicted^

The system continues to send the 7 previous Notice again and again as if it is stuck in a loop and the Enemy Continues to not receive any damage but the enemy Mp continues to decrease

"Yush, it seems it is effective"

The Fire Drake Saliva Lv 230 material when burned by higher level Fire arts will activate the Attribute 'Flammable' that could cause abnormal status effect 'Burn' to those inflicted and continue to deal damage until all material burn out or been cured

Fortunately, the boss golem possesses no skill or attribute to end it but the boss golem's Skill Deities Mana could defend against it but it continues to drain the Boss golem's mana, and that 2nd goal of the plan

But the equipment mana regeneration slower the pace of decrease of enemy mana making it almost a stalemate

"(But still it is working so let put more shall we)"

"Inventory"

^Skill Activated^

I retrieve another 3 barrels of Fire Drake saliva and throw them at the body

As I'm about to throw the last one

^Enemy skill 'Deities Mana' has been activated^

I see an earthen hand glow in red light as it has been imbued by skill rushing to crush my whole body

"Shit, Equipment change"

I retrieved equipment called 'Angel Winged Sandal Lv300' that has 200 agility stats and has only 20 durability and has an attribute called 'Angel Flap Lv80' that makes you able to fly in exchange for mana

I imbued mana to the attribute and fly without batting an eye and barely avoid the Boss golem attack imbued with a skill

"(Close, but Saf-)"

I see another one rushing to slap me like a Fly

"(Fuc-)"

Another one

"(Woah!)"

Another one

"(Ahh!!)"

And another one

This charade continues as I continue to dodge and if there is a chance to throw another barrel in between in the deathly strikes of the boss golem with the utmost best of my capabilities doing it

Thanks to the 100 synchronization rate of assimilation of my senses in this game, all my senses are at my absolute peak that I could perform making me able to fight with my utmost best with all I had imbued with motivation to not as possible to get hurt no matter what as I do not fear the pain but the interruption it could bring to the concentration of my mind and focus to my goal

Yes, because of interruption not the immense pain that may bring by the state im in as the synchronization rate is in peak means the highest peak of pain that could there inflict on me, not the pain understood

"(no matter what, don't get hurt, Loid orcus)"

as I fool myself about the situation I am in, I swallow and push back it back inside on the back of my mind

(crack)

"(Finally!!!)"

the one I waiting for whole the time

the reason why I choose to dodge and evade and struggle and endure the hardship

Arrive!!!

(crack)broke)

^Enemy equipment 'Mana Core' durability has reached 0^

^Enemy equipment 'Mana Core' has been broken^

The enemy boss monster golem equipment broke and turn into several fragments and further turn into more pieces until it reach the point of becoming dust and was blown away like sand released in the sway of the wind

"Yush!, Finally!!!"

"(Boss golem, you may able to defend yourself against the burn damage with your skill but not the equipment you worn)"

Deities Mana may able to defend against the burn attack by raising the defense through the skill but it only protects and defend the boss golem itself but is not included the equipment it wears causing the durability to continue to drop due to the burn damage and Finally be broken

with this, the 500 mp stats provided by the equipment disappear without the increase of the amount of mana and fast regeneration of mana, making it extremely be weakened and also providing the opportunity to strike back

"hoo, the time of struggle and hardship has come past, there no need to endure no more, its time to repay the debt of violence against me, prepare, it is my turn"

(it's cool, not cringe)

"Equipment Change"

^Skill Activate^

The Ignis Staff Disappeared and a New one appeared called 'Barbarian Big Hammer Lv310(Heavy)' that has 200 Strength Damage and 55 Durability Stats and has Attribute called 'Berserk Lv55' As damage increase further the Health shave and another piece of equipment called 'Vampire Crown Lv310 that grant 200 Hp stats and 50 durabilities and attribute called 'Life Steal Lv 60' that could Steal certain of Health base on inflicted damage and Strength oriented equipment in all left equipment Slot that overall total to 790 strength damage stats

I shout at the top of my lungs and my guts tremble with excitement and exhilaration as I run to advance to the body of the golem and with two hands swing and struck the Big Hammer to the Boss Golem

^You inflicted 790 damage^

^Enemy skill 'Deities Mana' has been activated^

^Enemy has Negate 150 Damage^

^Total 640 Damage inflicted^

^Damaged Enemy Health decreased by 14,460^

"OOORRRAAAHHH!!!"

"(Yush!, Let's Continue this pace)"

^Skill 'Berserk' has been Activated^

^Your attack damage increase^

^Skill 'Life Steal'/has been Activated^

^Your health increase by 10 worth of life points^

^Damaged Enemy Health decreased by 13,149^

This pace continues as the battle is fought

Me, dodging the Skill imbued attack of Boss Golem and seizing all opportunities to Attack, and persist to endure the immense pain inflicted on me as the Golem attack me with its numerous earthen hands sprouting from the ground

And when enough and need to rest, I use my flying sandals to retreat and create distance to retrieve Health and Mana Potions to restore decent health and mana as I am on guard and ready to evade the possible incoming attacks and gather enough rest to continue the Battle

The battle continued and Finally, I was able to make the Boss Hp drop to 50% and stop my attack and retreat to create distance to ready myself and respond to possible changes in Boss Pattern attacks

The Golem when reach 50%, Surround itself with Earth and Cover its whole body and sinks itself to the ground and

....that's it?

"(.....(Blank Stare)...)" (O_O)(｀・ω・´)

"The Duc-"

I couldn't finish my curse as the surrounding wall of the coliseum began to break and crumble as has something come out of it

As I look all around the surrounding I see giant humanoid Figures in the form of earth

"Appraisa-"

I couldn't even finish activating my skill as I saw other earthen giant figures drawing their bow and shoot giant earthen arrows and giant earthen spears being thrown towards me with tremendous deadly momentum intent to kill me

"Ah!"

I jump and roll multiple times barely avoiding the shot giant arrows and thrown giant spears

And the last moment activate the winged sandal attribute 'Angel Flap' to fly above to avoid the shot arrows and thrown spears as they gather below me

"Appraisal"

^Skill Activate^

I activate the skill and appraise the giant human earthen figure's status and learn they are called 'Titan Golem' as expected as they destroy and come inside of the wall

(Aot:Attack of Titan reference)

There are 30 of them, Every one of them is Level 690 with various stats ranging to fighter, tank, ranger with no attribute or skills surprisingly as so far all monsters I encounter in this area has at least one but still

"What a pain"

As I grumble, I prepare myself to fight by preparing what I need in this particularly armors

As much I hate to worn one, in this situation, it is needed that much for preparation to fight as this is destined to be a long battle to be fought

The battle began as I change my equipment to suit against the opponent and retrieve items that could help in the fight like oil spills that make the golems be thrown down by their self and drake saliva contained in barrels to make them a flame and retreat to rest and restore decent health and mana to fight back again

Finally when the last titan golem has fallen and been defeated

Surprise, The Boss rise under the last fallen titan golem that I defeated but that was not the one that surprised me

"Shit hole of hell!!"

I saw the Boss Golem's health back to 100% as if nothing happened and this is just the beginning

"(It seems the boss pattern is 'the boss monster Escape and summons minions to fight you while the boss monster heals itself until the last minion died' pattern, Now that's not annoying but irritating to the point of hiring a hitman to kill the game developer)"

And make matter worse, all my being especially my guts say that this will not only once but to be continued every time the Boss health drop and reach 50% and this boss pattern will be used again and again like a never-ending nightmare

"(Errgh!!! You push me to do this you ducker, Change of plan)"

I just continue what I did before

And...

That's it

As the boss is about to reach 50% of its health

I Stop

I did not attack nor dodge

I did not summon any equipment nor retrieve any items

I just open a strap pouch hanging on my waist and open and retrieve what is inside of it and make a stance to show it to the boss

What I retrieve is a scroll and after opening it reveals a magic circle drawn inside and makes the content be shown to the boss

After that, the magic circle glows in myriad colors the same as the spectrum or the rainbow colors and burns to bottom to up and turns to dust

The dust rush to the golem and form 2 magic circle above and below it

The dust that forms the magic circle glows with brighter myriad colors of spectrum light than before and the time inside the magic circle stop

After that, I use inventory and retrieve an item in the form of big balls and put many of them around near the magic circle and wait

.....Ehh....What I am saying?

What about it?

Ahh! The scroll is called "Skill scroll" a consumable item that contains a certain skill stored inside of it and once open the skill inside will be activated and inflict the one who facing the magic scroll

The skill inside the scroll is called "Chronos Wrath Lv 780' that could stop time inside the range of the magic circle making the enemy unable to move and after the skill end but you not be able to attack as the time inside the magic circle is stop and no attacked could enter

But the skill leaves a debuff called 'vulnerable' that makes all skills and attributes be temporarily be sealed and be unable to be use for only mere 10 seconds after the debuff applied and indeed mere 10 seconds is not enough to deal damages to kill the Boss golem as it has 50 percent left

As for the giant balls littering near around it

It is also a consumable item called 'Dragon ball Lv310' that been process from.....Like its name says and has only 10 durabilities has attribute called 'Self Explosion' that could dealt 300 worth of explosive damage to those caught around it Explosion range once destroyed

I put all the Dragon Balls I have around the magic circle that amounts to-

(Ping)Cracking)

The Skill Scroll 'Chronos wrath' has come to end and the boss golem has been released but the boss golem body is covered with spectrum light that indicating the debuff has already been applied making the boss golem in state of abnormal status vulnerable and could not use any skill and attribute making it not able to attack nor could defend with it skill or attribute

But despite that the golem continues to raise its hand and personally take action with own hand even thought it has no strength stats to even shave 1 of my life points

10, 9, 8, 7, 6

But time is still running and the debuff about to come to end

But before even the time struck one I grin and stomp the Dragon ball

^Item 'Dragon balls' durability has reached 0^

^Item 'Dragon balls' has been destroyed^

^Dragon balls attribute 'Self explosion' has been activated^

With that, the Dragon ball Crack and inside the gaps of cracks strong red light escape and explosion occurs

But remember that I put all my dragon balls stored in my inventory near the surrounding of the Boss golems

With that, Like Dominoes, A chain of explosions occurred one after another causing chain and accumulated damages to the boss golem and if one Dragon ball could deal 300 worth of damage to the Golem

What about 30 of it and the estimated health left by Boss Golem is around 8000 health life points

^9000 damage inflicted^

^Enemy skill 'Deities Mana' has been activated^

^Enemy has Negate 150 damage^

^Total 8850 damage inflicted^

^Damaged Enemy health decrease by 0^

With this, I defeated the boss as it engulfs in explosion and unable to see it

Unable to see it ?, You hear it right

Why?

Well, Because I change most of my Equipment slots with all strength-oriented equipment causing I have no any defense keep up against the explosion I make as I am inside of the self-explosion range receiving the same damage as the boss golem going under through except that I has of the my initial 10 defense in by Build stat

^You receive 9000 damage^

^You have 10 defence^

^Negating 10 damage^

^Total 8990 damage received^

^Your health decrease by 0^

^You die^

^You Lose^

^Game over^

Not only that with 100 sense Syronize rate and all at once, I receive a massive damage reducing all my health to 0 by almost 9 times at that

With this I receive pain was only below of 900℅ enhanced

With this, I receive Hella pain of Hella World of hella of lifetime on this hella moment

"Hella duck!!!-------" (　´)Д(｀ )🤬

°Loid has reached the maximum range of pain recoil that game designated°

°Activating Safety Protocol°

°Force Log Out°

(Players POV)

¶Tank, take back the agro¶

¶Im on it¶

¶Where the damage dealer¶

¶Restoring its Mp and Hp¶

¶Say go back immediately after he gains some decent mp and hp so we can maintain the agro¶

While all the players are busy with what they do, suddenly the monster they confronting stop moving and stars began to fall looking like a meteor shower out of nowhere regardless of the timeline of their area it may be day evening night or even more than that, all of them see and felt this occurrence

Instead of being bewildered of what happening, they shout as they celebrate just what happen

¶This is!¶

¶Monster feast¶

Monster feast is an event where monsters start to spawn 2 times faster and the spawned monster are doubled as the experience is also the loot are all 2 times or doubled In this time of event

This event last for 7 days in the real world and 7 weeks time in the virtual realm inside the game and the first day or in the game the first week, In the first week make, all monster are will be applied with random various debuff that makes them weaker and be easily be hunt by players

¶Ohh, Monster feast here I come¶

¶Party leader im leaving the part-¶

¶Party is disband!, All the monster will be mine, Hahaha!!!,I will beat everything on sight¶

¶Of course, just the monster, right?¶

¶I think about it after seeing all your loot¶

¶Party Leader!!!¶

¶Orah, orah, rah-rah orah!!!¶

....causing the players temporary leaving their party to solo all experience and loots for a the duration of the event and Pk wreaking havoc in this time

While most of the players are in Carnage of greed and avarice for violence

The Minority, the top 100 players especially the top ten

Knowing the capabilities of their rivals, no one currently could defeat the frontier boss among them even the top 1 player has still did not enough capabilities to defeat the frontier boss despite having among them all, has the strongest Build stats, skills, attributes, and mythical class and jobs and equipments the highest grade there is

Still could not defeat the frontier boss as difficulties not lay in how powerful the boss monster are but the bizarre optimization that made the boss monster absurd making them having a hard time defeating it and the area more bizarre and absurd gimmicks

At this moment they also remember a player who was so bizarre because despite being on the top of the chase, are not registered in the ranking because he didn't registered himself

The player who has absurd stats and skill and attribute that they dare to comprehend it how it works but face the absurdity after learning how it take just to copy the fraction of that fighting style

The name of the player some begrudgingly shout (Top 1)

Some happily laugh at it and mock someone because of being beaten by its antics(Top 2)

And some bluntly shout the name as if is Exciting(top3)

All of them say the name with each of them has a different expression how to say it and that name is

¶¶Unranked¶¶

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

¶Wait,why there no Victory notice being sent by the system¶

¶I don't know, maybe the system program also found him incomprehensible¶

If Loid is here he will say "Nah, it end up in a draw"

After this the game developers discover the first bug existed on their game and fix it
