Chapter 89 Boss Phase 2
The boss's second phase will begin with a huge roar, and the monster will unleash a scream filled with time magic.
However, this roar has a special attribute: with that huge roar, the Boss will create an area that traps the player and strengthens itself.
But this area serves a purpose beyond that.
The boundary of this area has a minor characteristic.
Attacks from outside the area will be nullified, and time and space magic will interfere with attacks, rendering external attacks null and void.
The reason is that the Time Guardian extends the time required for an attack to travel from outside the area to inside.
The distance from outside the area to inside the area may seem small, but due to the time magic within the area, the time required for arrows or other projectiles to travel is lengthened.
This makes it virtually impossible to defeat the boss from outside the area.
This is how the Boss forces ranged players to approach, and that's why if I were Ethan, I could defeat it very easily.
Because this isn't difficult for melee players.
The reason I dared to challenge it is because I know there is a way to "easily defeat" it.
A stone for resisting the times.
When I played this game, I wondered why the trees and environment weren't affected like the climate in this place where time magic was so strong.
They should be corroding very quickly, but the rocks, soil, and trees are not directly affected, which is different from the equipment I'm using here.
The furniture I use for eating was corroded within a month, which should theoretically take at least two years, and this is also true in the game.
This shows that the power of time is indeed affecting these materials, but why isn't it directly affecting me, the monster, and this place itself?
The answer is simple.
This place was built with materials resistant to time magic. That's why I thought of using the stones here to make stone arrows to fight the Time Guardians.
Now, the time has come.
Keen Eyes
My eyes were observing the monster, and I saw that it had wounds on its body.
Do you think you're safe now?
The monster looked at me from inside the barrier, as if to say that I could no longer attack it from a distance.
"Let's see how long you can hold out."
I nocked an arrow and began measuring the distance.
'The distance from here to the Boss is approximately 100 meters.'
Next, I referred to the results of my archery practice.
'This arrow travels at approximately 100 kilometers per hour, meaning it will travel 27 meters per second, and it will take about 3.7 seconds to reach that distance. That should be enough time.'
I drew back the bowstring, relaxed my breathing, focused my attention, and fixed my gaze on the monster.
My mana flowed into a small portion of the arrow. That portion was a surprise prepared for the monster.
'The amount of magic power is just right.'
Swoosh
With this thought in mind, I released the arrow and watched it pierce through the barrier, defying the properties of time alteration.
'Then……'
boom!
The moment the arrow made contact with the Time Guardian, it triggered a hidden explosion mechanism inside the arrowhead, a feature I embedded with mana.
The explosion pierced through the Boss, causing severe damage.
I know that arrows made of stone cannot pierce its skin, and that's not my purpose. I specifically bought several explosive arrows without arrowheads for this target.
When the arrow touches the Boss, it will explode instantly.
Because the monster did not expect the attack to come from outside, it was in a state of relaxed vigilance, which cost it dearly.
Just as I expected, the arrows burst forth within the Time Guardian, causing it to teeter on the brink of collapse from the sudden attack.

The force of the explosion threw the monster off balance, and I took the opportunity to fire more arrows, each one hitting its mark and causing further damage.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The unique arrows I crafted are not only explosive, but also infused with poison, which I then let seep into the Boss's body.
This isn't a high-quality poison, but it's enough to work, which is what I need. After all, the boss can't escape, and I have plenty of time.
Roar!
The Boss let out a painful roar, struggling to regain control and fight back.
My relentless attacks gave it no chance to catch its breath. The poison was taking effect inside the monster, weakening it and slowing its movements.
swish swish
As the boss weakened, I moved forward, approaching the barrier set up by the Time Guardian.
This area is a double-edged sword; it protects the monster, but also restricts its movement. In this world, nothing comes without a price, and using this area means compressing power within the barrier.
Although the Time Guardian changed the trajectory of the arrows from time to time, the explosions occurred in close proximity.
It felt desperate, confined to a small space, unable to make full use of its ability to manipulate time.
Roar!
It attempts to protect its body by altering dimensions, but doing so consumes more mana.
Meanwhile, the effects of the poison gradually increased, making the monster even more eager to attack me.
Swoosh
This is the last arrow.
My arrows are also limited; they will eventually run out.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have other weapons.
I prepared two daggers and some support items.
Guru
I took out a bottle of medicine from my bracelet and drank it immediately, feeling my strength rapidly recover.
Guru
I drank another mana potion and felt my mana replenished.

As I swallowed the last pill, my heart raced. A surge of power coursed through my body, filling me with fighting spirit.
Swoosh
As confidence surged within me, I took a deep breath, activated my skill [Swiftness], and charged towards the monster.
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
My footsteps splashed water on the muddy ground as I quickly approached, my eyes fixed on the increasingly weakened Boss.
Sweat mingled with raindrops dripping from my forehead, my heart pounding in my ears. Adrenaline surged through my body, preparing me for the final stage of the battle.
Roar!
The Time Guardian roared, its form shifting between blank and phantom-like shapes.
It launched a desperate attack, but my reflexes were honed to perfection, and with the help of the pills I had taken, I dodged the blow.
I leaped into the air, soaring high above the Boss, concentrating all my strength, aiming at the monster's head.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down, and I saw the Boss's figure gradually become transparent, like the [Time Changer].
I won't let you succeed.
I immediately reached for the bell on my belt. My movements seemed to slow down, probably due to the monster's influence, but it couldn't stop me from moving.
Ring ring ring!
When I rang the bell, I felt the surrounding magic being disrupted, and the monster's transparent form returned to normal.
I quickly pulled the trigger three times, and three bullets were fired in one second.
boom! boom! boom!
I leaped through the air and precisely pierced the Boss's head with a bullet infused with mana.
Pfft!
Blood spurted from the Boss's head, its skull and eyes shattered.
Roar!
However, the monster was not dead yet, and its deafening roar echoed all around.
boom!
I was thrown back by the roaring shockwave and crashed into the rocks in front of me.
"cough......!"
Blood gushed from my body, and I felt my ribs break.
"Uh……"
However, I must persevere. I know that bullets alone are not enough to kill this monster.
I drew a dagger from my belt and infused it with my red magic.
My vision turned bloodshot, as if my reason was slowly slipping away.
My gaze was fixed on the monster.
Swoosh
I rushed toward the monster, and the figure from my dream appeared in my eyes.
Blood Moon Storm
It's time to end this battle.
