Comeback
Since the boss' last attack made some distance it gave me some time to think, when my body smashed the wall, I felt the staff that I always carry around and I still don't know where to use it, since mostly I would use my Mistral Weapon.
I tried to do some experiments, I held my Staff of Destruction on my right hand and tried to use the skill mistral weapon, it made my staff transform into a sword, so meaning I still get the bonus stats from the staff of destruction even with the skill.
I spent my whole life playing games, I remember back in the day, where Ragna**** Online was the most coolest rpg back then, and in that game there's a term called switching.
(Switching is literally switching of items during battle for the sake of convenience
e.g. You are an assassin that uses double dagger, but then you fight against a wizard, in order to survive most magic attacks, you can replace your left hand dagger with a shield that reduces magic damage.)
I can basically fight this boss head on, I'm pretty confident with my reflexes so I think I can handle him toe to toe.
I used my mistral weapon once again to transform the staff of destruction into a sword, and a dagger on my left hand.
I walked slowly to where the boss is, since there's only 35,550hp left it will end quickly because my mistral weapon now deal damage based on my str and int combined and it can also do critical damage.
With only a few steps away from the boss, I decided to quickly close the distance by using short blink, in just half a second I was already in front of him, I immediately performed a diagonal slash aiming for his shoulder all the way down to his hip, he didn't dodge my attack at all in fact he just accepted it.
*system*
-you dealt 1,200hp-
His attack and defensive patterns changed as well. instead of blocking or dodging he decided to attack at the same time to just trade blows, he used his giant axe to slash diagonally as well aiming for my shoulder, and his floating chain to attack my back, and lastly his tail to pierce through my skull, it was a total of 3 attacks at the same time, my short blink has a short delay so I wouldn't be able to dodge his attack with that.
I quickly used my short dagger to alter the direction of this tail, and my sword to parry his giant axe, I couldn't dodge his floating chain so I endured the damage, we kept on trading blows, it was a battle of attrition.
*clang!* x4
*Bang* x5
you can hear the loud echoes of metal clashing against each other, we weren't having a fancy fight anymore, we're basically trying to survive each others attack.
In between his barrage of attacks he would cast rain of fire skills, in order to counter that I would disable either my sword or dagger and replace it with a shield and counter by converting the shield back to a weapon to attack again.
hours and hours went by, I didn't have enough mana to heal myself up and toggle between weapon and a shield.
Deep in my thoughts I knew that I made a mistake
My vision is about to fade.
Using my last remaining strength
I made a random stab attack.
The damage I can deal with a normal attack is about 1,500 and he still has about 3000hp.
I was about to accept my defeat.

the boss' scream echoed throughout the room as my consciousness begins to fade, as if he was announcing his victory.

...........
In the end it was my luck that saved me, I couldn't feel anything else but relief, along with my sigh of relief was my conscious mind drifting into nothingness.
after a couple hours of sleeping in the boss room, my MP was already full because of my passive skill concentrated MP.
I used my Fast Healing spell to fill up my HP bar as well, since I leveled up 5 times I now have 25 stats points and 66 skill points unallocated.
I checked my status to see anything new.
