Chapter 126 - How To Survive A Reaper Queen First Half
I have personally experienced thee attacks before in Reaper form and I didn't last 10 seconds even when my level that time is level 159. Right now, my goal is to survive as it is impossible to defeat her. She has all the plot armors that would prevent you from defeating her. Even if I am capable of switching out weapons and has a God-Tier weapon, there is still no way I can defeat her and that is 100% assured.
But I am not going to just lose since I only need to survive. I need to hold out as long as I can.
She didn't speak after that and conjured black chains out in the air. I quickly back off from where I was standing and changed my weapon into a gun before rapidly firing bullets in her direction.
"Is that all you got?!" she spins her scythe in front of her and deflected every single bullet incoming before she faded to the shadow and appeared before me while the scythe she was wielding is raised, high up in the air."
I rolled over far from her before she brought down the scythe down to where I was before.
BOOM!
The floor exploded the moment the scythe touched the ground. It wasn't her attack but a mine I planted which is one of the abilities of the class, Saboteur. However, that barely gives a scratch out of her skin and I knew about it. Smoke also got released with the explosion as I added a smokescreen in the mine, to momentarily disrupt her vision for a few seconds.
"Cheap tricks!" she didn't even falter and got surprised by the explosion and just spins her scythe to remove all of the smoke enveloping her surroundings.
That's when I took my chance and proceed to slash her with my Magic Sword imbued with flames using the skill [Flaming Sword].
PENG!
"Interesting!" she grinned and deflected my attack in a single flick.
-1000 damage received!
I gritted my teeth before consuming one intermediate health potion. Even a single deflect is enough to chip my health to semi-critical levels. If that damage earlier procs a critical, my health would be reduced more than a half and another hit would have reduced all of my health to zero.
She didn't say any monologue and taps the ground once more, causing countless chains to pop up from the air and launches towards me. I didn't think twice and changed my weapon into a shield and spear and started to tank out her skills.
"That is a unique weapon you have there! But is it unique enough to stand up against me?"
She quickly spins her scythe rapidly, and a black aura of wind appeared and quickly hit my shield. I was almost knocked back from the attack but I managed to hold it up. But the pressure that my shield is trying to endure is too strong that just gripping the shield makes my hand tremble and had a hard time holding it steadily.
Thankfully, with all of the things I have endured in the past, this is nothing, and enduring it is only momentary.
Just like how I suspected, the skill duration of her skill did not last long but she quickly attacked after the skill duration, which leaves me no choice but to keep in defending.
"What's wrong?! Come on! Give it all you've got and attack me! Don't just keep defending and attack!"
I didn't fall for her taunts. She likes to taunt a lot and once you get taunted by her words, she will shred you to pieces without a second thought about it.
As the attacks of the queen get harder to deal with and each defends no longer works as my Health Bar is slowly decreasing every hit she makes, I have to make a distance from her.
Flicking my spear, I transformed it to a Hook and Chain to use it as a grappling hook before my shield disappears completely. As the hook and chain materialized, I throw the hook to the ceiling and attach it to the scaffolding and let it pull myself up to the ceiling, avoiding the Queen's barrage of attacks. Of course, I am not safe above. It is only an evasive maneuver and not something I can exploit to attack her as she can easily take down flying foes with her chains.
"Ha! Do you think you can escape? That isn't possible for me!"
She waved her scythe upward and heavy black energy materialized and came out from her scythe, it quickly flew towards my direction after it was fired from the scythe. I barely dodged it due to the large area of damage it inflicted on the ceiling. Anyone who didn't know about the structure of the palace would think that the ceiling will collapse but someone who is very familiar with it like me did not get shocked when I saw the broken ceiling restructure itself back to its former appearance.
After dodging that, I jump from the scaffolding and changed my weapon into the magic sword, and ignited it using the [Flaming Sword] ability. She turned around and blocked it off with her scythe before deflecting me.
"Ugh!" I was sent flying and crashed to the wall, reducing almost all of my HP. Thankfully, not all of my HP got drained. Before I was able to move, she appeared and raised her scythe. Her scythe extends and it became a toothed maw of blades before it fell down to its target.
I quickly went off from where I crashed and dodged away before pulling out a potion and drank it, allowing me to regain my lost HP. The problem is that my armor has already reduced half of its durability and one more similar attack will reduce all of my armor to dust.
"Are you sure you are a Pioneer sent by the goddess? From the looks of it, you are far too weak!" Queen Tanya said while sighing.
"You are just too strong for me to compete, your majesty. However, I am not going to go down without a fight. Even if you try to beat me down, I am not going to just stay still and die! My life and my reputation are at stake here!" I answered while gripping the Versatile Weapon.
"Heh, I like that determination! Then, be sure to survive for another five minutes because I will be unleashing my full power!"
A pop-up appeared again and this time, the questline updated.
Pioneer's Responsibility
[A Pioneer's Task II]
Type: Pioneer Questline
Objective Updated: Survive the Attacks of Queen Tanya[Unleashed] for five minutes.
Penalty: Upon your Death, Queen Tanya's Friendship rating will drop to -100 and the next questlines will be set to Nightmare difficulty.
I almost want to curse hearing what she just said and smash the pop-up that appeared before me. Her full power is enough to obliterate a whole army of enemies and she can easily destroy the Raid Boss with her attacks. I have seen it personally and that is not a scale of power I can easily compete with. This might be the longest 5-minute gameplay I might experience in my whole life.
But I am not going to just lose since I only need to survive. I need to hold out as long as I can.
