Novel Bin Chapter 21: Boss Fight
At the top of the plant, a large fiery orange flower showcased its beauty, surrounded by flames and green leaves.
Li Xin, Alice, and Elva were all drawn to it.
"What a beautiful flower! Is it really a monster?" Alice exclaimed a little, looking at the plant that didn\'t appear to be a monster.
Contrary to their expressions, Li Wei let out an excited smile when he looked at it.
\'This is how a dungeon boss should be,\' he thought, examining its status panel.

Looking at his excited expression, Elva felt weird but decided to explain.
"Dungeons above level 10 have mutated bosses with certain buffs, making it harder to kill them. With its buffed spirit attribute, it will recover 2000 points of HP and MP per minute, which means about 33 points per second," she said, looking at the monster with Analyze Eye.
Li Wei nodded upon hearing her and looked at Li Xin.
"XinXin, distribute your AP to intelligence, agility, and endurance. You and Elva will fire long-range attacks, I will be the main attacker, while Alice will also fight with me and block any attacks towards both of you," he instructed, deciding on their strategy.
"Okay, brother," Li Xin nodded, distributing her AP accordingly.
Elva and Alice also nodded, agreeing with his plan.
Seeing their nods, Li Wei turned his gaze at the boss monster.
"It will take time to kill it, so be prepared, and don\'t use all your MP. Keep a reserve to use some skills," he warned them.
"Alice, let\'s go and be prepared to intercept any attacks towards them," he stated and headed towards the boss with his sword in hand.
"I know," Alice replied with a nod as she followed behind him.
Just as they got a little closer, the Floral Pyrovine boss trembled, as if it sensed them approaching.
The orange flower on top suddenly turned towards them.
*Grrrrrr!*
It emitted a low roar, even though it had no mouth.
"I will go first," Li Wei addressed to Alice and directly moved forward.
"Footwork," he chanted, and with a whoosh, he sprinted like wind, even faster than before.
*Gwaaa!*
The flower roared, its giant body covered with vines trembling and with a swoosh sound, all the vines directly attacked him.
Li Wei looked at the incoming attacks without any change in expression and reached out his other hand, pointing at the vines.
"Frost Nova," he chanted, and the skill effect took place with a sudden white freezing wave heading towards the crimson vines, slowing and almost freezing them.
"Slash," Li Wei, who has already arrived beside the Floral Pyrovine, attacked with a sword enveloped by a blue light.
*Slash!!*
With a sound, a few vines were swiftly cut, dividing into two pieces.
*Gwaaaaa!*
The flower roared and suddenly glowed brightly, while small fiery flowers started to bloom on the vines.
They separated from the vines and headed towards Li Wei at full speed.
All of this happened in a few seconds, not giving him a chance to dodge.
"Divine Protection," he shouted hurriedly, creating a holy barrier around him.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Soon, he was bombarded with all the flowers that exploded with fire.
"Brother," Li Xin shouted in worry, looking at the scene.
"Frost Nova," without hesitation, she attacked those flowers.
"Elemental Arrow" "Rapid Shot," Elva also didn\'t wait and attacked with water attribute arrows.
*Boom! Hiss! Sizzle!*
With the sounds of explosions and evaporating water ringing around.
"Deadly Strike," Alice arrived behind the flower and attacked with her dagger.
*Slash!!*
With a slashing sound, the dagger cut through the vines, aiming for its core trunk hidden behind the crimson vines.
*Gwaaaaa!*
The flower on top trembled with anger when it saw someone attacking its trunk.
But before the dagger could reach it, an orange flowery transparent shield appeared, deflecting the attack.
"Tsk," Alice was a little disappointed when her attack missed, but she instantly backed out because vines headed for her.
"I only did a damage of 2000," Li Wei murmured, looking at the boss\'s HP bar after the explosion around him calmed down.
\'I should stay away from those flowers. They didn\'t harm me, but they blocked my view,\' he thought.
With the divine protection and his endurance, they weren\'t a threat to him, but they blocked his view, and without a clear view, he couldn\'t use escape skills.
"Brother, are you all right?" Li Xin asked as she attacked the vine with her sword that came towards them.
Li Wei looked at her and nodded.
"I am alright. Don\'t worry about me; focus on the fight," he replied and charged towards Alice, who was in trouble.
*Gwaaa!*
The Floral Pyrovine attacked Alice angrily with its vines, as it roared again, unleashing Burning Bloom once more.
"Slash" "Evasion," Alice shouted hurriedly, slashing at the vines and trying to evade the small flowers heading towards her.
She has just seen that even Li Wei was held back by them. If she got caught in those explosions, she might get seriously injured.
"What? No way!" but just as she used the evasion skill, a vine grabbed her leg, stopping her from escaping.
"Guard," without any choice, she used the guard skill to defend herself.
Li Wei didn\'t hesitate and directly shouted "Frost Nova," "Shadow Step."
With the Frost Nova, he slowed down the flowers that were still a few tens of meters away from her while appearing behind her with Shadow Step.
"Slash," he didn\'t hesitate and cut the vine while grabbing her waist.
"Shadow Step," he chanted and disappeared with her as the flowers almost reached them.
"What happened?" Alice was still puzzled because everything happened too fast.
She only realized that when the attack was about to hit her, she felt a warm hand around her waist, and the next moment she disappeared.
She hurriedly looked back to see it was Li Wei.
"Are you all right? If not, just stay here," he stated and disappeared again to fight the boss.
"Unn," Alice blushed a little, thinking she was held by him. It was her first time being so close to the opposite sex.
\'No, what am I thinking? I should focus on the fight,\' she shook her head and once again headed to fight.
Elva also looked at what happened.
"He is too fast; is it because of agility? But Alice looks very embarrassed about what happened," she murmured and focused on the fight again.
"Elemental Arrow," she attacked.
Li Xin also looked at it and focused on the fight.
"Frost Nova," she chanted.
Li Wei, who arrived in front of the boss, suddenly remembered the feeling he had just experienced through his hands.
\'She\'s really soft like XinXin, but she might weigh a little more because of her big chest,\' he thought.
*Gwaaaaa!*
The Floral Pyrovine screamed again, attacking with vines.
Li Wei also stopped his thoughts and attacked.
"Swordsmanship," he shouted, and his body suddenly glowed blue. With a swish sound, he attacked.
*Slash!!*
A cutting sound reverberated through the floor, but it didn\'t stop; it continued.
*Slash! Slash! Slash!*
Li Wei, surrounded by a blue light, kept attacking while defending from the attacks.
*Gwaaaaa!*
The monster roared again when it saw him cutting its vines like tofu. When the flower suddenly glowed brightly, aiming at him.
"Shadow Step," Li Wei didn\'t hesitate and escaped.
He had tested those little flowers, and they were able to block him for a while. He didn\'t want to get caught with this bigger one.
*Boom! Bang!*
Just as Li Wei disappeared, a fiery beam shot out and landed where he had been, burning the area with intense explosions and heat.
\'It was a good thing I escaped,\' he thought, looking at the previous place, which was sizzling like hot asphalt.
"Frost Nova," "Charge," "Swordsmanship," he attacked once again, with Alice, Elva, and Li Xin also attacking.
*Boom! Boom! Bang!*
As the explosion continued, Li Wei and Alice dodged it while intercepting any attacks towards Li Xin and Elva.
Li Wei looked at the boss\'s HP bar.
\'Good, only 8000 HP is remaining,\' he thought, and didn\'t hesitate to attack with special skills again.
"Swordsmanship," with a swift sound, he attacked the core trunk of the monster, dealing more damage.
But the flowery shield still managed to stop a little damage, giving it time to recover every second.
*Gwaaaa!*
The Floral Pyrovine roared again, trying to unleash its attack.
"Elemental Arrow," "Frost Nova," both Li Xin and Elva chanted at the same time, attacking the flower on top.
*Sizzle!*
With a sizzling sound, water and ice evaporated, but there attacks still managed to hurt the flower.
"Deadly Strike," Alice attacked with full power, stabbing her dagger into the trunk.
"Slash," Li Wei delivered the final blow, but he didn\'t waste all of his MP or strength because he was saving it for anything unexpected.
*Gwaaaaa!*
The Floral Pyrovine let out a loud roar, and with a thud, it fell to the ground.
[Ding, Congratulations for killing a Level 12 Floral Pyrovine (Mutated). You gained 3000 XP]
[Ding, Congratulations to the party Order of the Abyss for clearing the Dungeon and gaining the rewards.]
A notification sounded, but no one cared about it and looked behind the monster\'s body where a glowing light was forming something.
"Is it a treasure chest spawning?" Li Wei asked. There are treasure chests inside the dungeon. Some appear abruptly, while most appear after killing the dungeon boss.
Alice looked at it and nodded.
"Yes, it\'s a treasure chest," she said while looking at Li Wei with a blush when she remembered that he grabbed her waist without hesitation.
"Brother, are you all right?" Li Xin asked, arriving beside him.
He smiled and answered, "Of course I am all right, and I also have some reserve strength remaining," he said.
When suddenly the light became brighter with a shining sound, after a few seconds it disappeared, revealing a Silver treasure chest.
The treasure chests were divided into Wooden, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond.
