Versatile: Alternate World

It is viable to ask Queen Tanya to fight against Serbal but I didn't want to risk Quest Failure. Since she is an NPC, she is not counted as a player and also a follower since she didn't have a contract with me similar to Lina. I heard of a similar situation where a player asked the NPC to defeat the enemy. The NPC defeated the enemy but it was not counted as his clearance and he failed the quest because the boss that he cleared is a one-time spawn. So instead of taking the rewards, the NPC gained them instead.

It might be a bit harder but it isn't that much since the three of them will keep on throwing the potions I prepared beforehand. Those potions were meant to be used to Serbal if I meet him as a boss but never expected him to be one of the main bosses to beat to complete the Pioneer Quest.

"Just perfect!"

Spotting one of the statues, I charge up my hammer's strike and in one swing, I made a crack a little bit on its surface. The statues are too sturdy to destroy so it is not so easily destroyed and reduced to rubble.

CRACK!

Serbal who is still looking around to find me after I caught the attack meant for the girls when he spotted me next to the statue as I continue to break it!"

"You dare break my property!?" Serbal then raised his tail and slams it in my direction.

I swing my hammer to the ground and changed it to a cannon before launching one shot out of it. The recoil was strong enough that before Serbal's tail can even hit me, I am already out of his range.

BOOM!

When Serbal took out his tail, the statue that I just cracked earlier is no longer standing and was reduced to dust and rubble.

"Oy, big snake! Thanks for destroying one of my objectives! It really helps a lot and you just reduced the time I needed to break one!"

Serbal roared and his eyes glow red. The ground suddenly shook and earth spires appeared on the ground. I quickly dodged them all since I am already aware of Serbal's tactics of attacks.

Harmless Sparrow throws a bottle of the potion I gave her to Serbal just like I asked her to and the potion did its effects upon hit. Serbal is fuming in anger as he lashes out. While he is still busy lashing out in the surroundings and hopes he can break me, I shoot out the Cannon and it hit squarely to his eyes.

BANG!

As usual, that didn't do anything useful, it chipped away some of his HP but it didn't do much.

"Die! Little human! You will be paying for disturbing the sacred ritual with your life!"

Serbal then lunge towards me and since he is long, his body didn't move much and only a small part of his body only managed to move. Despite that, the length of his "small part of his body's length" and his head is long enough that I didn't hesitate to run away from him the moment he lunges his face towards my location. His two large fangs and the smaller saw teeth of his will make anyone scream in fear as he follows you around.

He also does a constant mouth snap every time you get near his mouth. To other classes, this is a troublesome thing but for me who has all the abilities of all the classes in one character, there is no need for me to panic.

"Taste this and see what will happen!"

"What?!"

The moment Serbal snapped his mouth shut also destroyed the thing that I have just thrown in.

"ARGGHHH! IT STINGS!"

Serbal squirmed and roared as his body started to ingest what I have just thrown inside his mouth. I grinned after my experimental potion vial is tested to a boss and seeing its effective effects, I can assure myself that this potion is not a waste.

I look at the vial in my hands which contains violet liquid that is viscous enough you will mistake it as a jelly. It is an experimental potion that I developed in the past but did not test or properly used since I managed to come up with the idea during the time I was about to get married. It was just a mixture of poisonous items in the game with the addition of Mana Potion and a few herbs that strengthens the effects of a potion, I created a lethal potion that has the effects Now that Serbal is currently squirming in pain and is currently thrashing around due to the pain, he also stopped from chasing me, allowing me to freely do the necessary thing.

"ARGH! PUNY HUMAN! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!"

This boss is quite whiny. But that is enough to stall time for me so that I can destroy the statues and easily finish him off after since I will be having trouble fighting against him without destroying the statues and stealing the treasure he was guarding.

"Bladeheart?! Should we give you some assistance? It seems Serbal is going berserk!" Dolly is looking worried.

"No worries, just continue throwing those potions!" I shouted.

The second statue is immediately spotted. I didn't take my precious time trying to hammer it down. I know that Serbal will no longer tolerate my normal movements after he recovers from the poison in his mouth. I quickly activated my skills, physical and magical skills and directed all attacks towards the statue while adding basic attacks.

It took 10 seconds of skill spam burst to the statue for it to break to pieces. I made sure to bust it down as soon as possible.

CRACKLE!

The treasure that Serbal is protecting is currently showing signs of cracking and electric sparks started to manifest around it.

"ARGH! MY TREASURE! ARGHHH!" Serbal screamed but he is still suffering from the poison I just gave him.

I was about to go to the last statue since there are only three statues that holds the treasure of Serbal but before I get there, Queen Tanya throws her weapon to the statue and in just one hit, the statue was reduced to rubble.

"That should take care of the problem!" Queen Tanya said.

I nodded and dropped 5 smokescreen bombs around Serbal. Even snakes can't see in the smoke. After all of the restraints are broken, the treasure can now be taken. Once the treasure is in my hands, Serbal will also enter the berserk mode and his final stage where you no longer can stall time for him and you need to kill him for real this time around.
