Chapter 19: Rainbow Serpent

Tyr skids on the muddy grass. The Rainbow Serpent has forced them back to the river bank. It stands nine feet tall, with fangs as large as swords. Tyr doesn’t want it as a pet. It will be too much hassle to try to catch since they have no trapping skills. They didn’t come prepared and they are under level. Tyr says, “You guys stand back if it looks like I’m about to die jump in so I can heal but make sure to keep you’ll damage down.”

Nineth Immortal says, ” You can’t fight it alone.” The terrifying ridges on the Rainbow Serpent body show how heavily armoured it is.

Tyr says, “no worries this is exactly what I need.” The four question marks are like a special indicator. Players can choose how much they are willing to risk when facing special condition monsters. Solo has the highest rewards but also the most risk. at this point, he isn’t confident in being able to solo it. In a reasonable amount of time. Since that will also play a factor in how much reward he gets. Odyssey doesn’t reward players that can find an exploit and use it to kill a boss many levels above them. if it’s also going to take them ten hours to do so.

Tyrs’ plan is to hit it as hard as he can for as long as he can. He takes out his spear using both hands to grip it in the way he is most familiar with. Due to the unlimited system and his pristine body he should at least be able to imitate his preferred fighting style.

The Rainbow Serpent red scales glow. Its neck bludges wide and a fireball is spitting towards the group. SKY Ocean Hunter grabs Nineth Immortal and jumps into the river swimming around. Tyr takes three hundred damage from that attack. His luck is not bad and as a young Rainbow Serpent, its damage is not as hectic as an adult.

Tyr steps forward through the fire and flames. His spear is spinning as he moves in.

Tyr steps to the side as the Rainbow serpent coils. A side step and twirling his spear about the Serpent lunges forward.

Tyr used its momentum to hit the serpent. The slash is hard with a spear unless the enemy is running or dashing past you. The Serpent thrushes its tails fling mud and water into the air. Tyr slides and jumps caught by the edge of the tail ever so lightly. He was thrown into a tree. Half of the Serpent is in the water while the other half is on land.

Tyr, lift up his hand a red laser-like mark appears from the sky. Tyr says, “Lightning Stike!”

The Serpent wails about in the water. Several Unexpected things happen. Several monsters hidden away close by are also killed.

Tyr sends a message to SKY Ocean Hunter he needs to find the bodies of those monsters that should appear on the map. Tyr has to focus on the Serpent thrashing about its red scale dimes as its white scale lights up. A pool of magic energy starts to build around it. Tyr rushes in low and fast sliding on the slick mud almost seeing his arse.

His spear hits it in the flashes scale.

The damage does nothing to stop the casting of this spell. Tyr starts to feel a little drizzle. He trusts and stabs wobbling about not stopping the attack. The Serpent is using a channelling spell that is meant to confuse him. However, his pristine body gives him enough resistance after all. The purpose of the Trail Tower was to strengthen willpower.

Tyr, adjust his grip and strikes, sidestepping the tail and getting in closer to the scale he stabs at it again, Going low on his knees the cool water getting into his boots. The serpent has to channel the spell for thirty seconds. In that besides having to watch out for the tail Tyr is free to attack

Tyr spins and moves constantly even if he is ‘safe’ at the moment that could change at any time. This way he is fighting is used mostly in PvE. The steps are meant to allow him to give space or get closer in the time in between his attack speed. The spinning keeps the spear in motion making it hard to predict and if lucky can defend against some range attacks.

The Rainbow Serpent has 8008 health left. Tyr can see its tail coming towards with deadly intent. Sky Ocean Hunter Appears knocking the tail aside. He had launched himself using his tail again to him. Tyr wouldn’t have had enough time to dodge once the Rainbow Serpent stop casting. He has been paying close attention. Between what is happening between Tyr and the Rainbow Serpent.

Being a veteran of many games he knows what to look for but he is also cautious because a mistake will doom them. The way Tyr is moving may look simple but any seasoned gamer will tell you the mental focus required to fight a strong monster with only dodging and timed attacks is very difficult. Especially without a proper wealth of skills and items. SKY Ocean Hunter is already stockpiling because he has come to understand that items and skills will be important.

SKY Ocean Hunters’ body

The next scale is the Indigo one. It has a strange pattern on it. Several teeth-like markings. On the Indigo scale. Tyr has fought a rainbow before in his past life that had an indigo scale too. He runs back the burning grass that has slowly been moving towards the tree line. Tyr hides behind a tree, not for cover but to force the Rainbow Serpent into its own fire are. It won’t cause damage to the Rainbow Serpent but it will help Tyr. He grabs a number of branches throwing them into one of the grounded flames. The Serpent whips its head thinking he made a move. The teeth-like marking are a darker Indigo colour. The Rainbow Serpent open its mouth. Direct a plume of purple smoke towards him.

Tyr has been hit with damage over time poison spell. He swallows some Black Weed. Running towards the branches he threw earlier. The Serpent brings it body close. Half of it coiled underneath it. Tyr thinks a big physical attack is coming and so SKY Ocean Hunter. Prepares in case Tyr is hit.

The Rainbow Serpent had prepared another volley of poison gas however Tyr had thrown one of the flame branches. A quirk of most gaseous poisons is that they are highly flammable. Black damage is self-inflicted thus ignores armour. The Rainbow Serpent Wails in agony fall into a daze. Tyr spear spin his feet work direct.

Tyr battles as hard as he can for as long as he can the damage is slowly overcoming his healing. If he stops attacking the Rainbow Serpent will have enough time to change its scale again. He is afraid one of them will have healing which will be detrimental to his plans. He has no choice running towards toward the bank where SKY Ocean Hunter has found the loot.

Nineth Immortal has been waiting on the sideline. The way her weapons works it should be possible to kill the Rainbow Serpent. However, she is learning a lot from watching Tyr. The way that he swings the weapon timing to constantly attack is impressive. She had never known him to be so good. She sends a short video to the national team. They are always looking for talent plus it will be great advertising for his guild. The only thing she worries about is his choice of the guild leader. She decides to wait for his signal after all there must be the reason he wants to fight ‘alone.’ What SKY Ocean Hunter Did doesn’t count as an attack because the Rainbow Serpent Received no damage.

A player named Sky Marshall is running toward the Rainbow Serpent in a panic, she had sold all her beta points to secure this pet.

She appears in the woods seeing humans fighting the Rainbow Serpent. She is not sure how to approach him and protect her pet. She grits her teeth and hopes shouting, ” Fletcher come!” The Rainbow Serpent rushes towards her. Tyr is star-struck and confused not one but two famous players are not meant to be working out of this region is here.

Sarah ‘The Sky’ Marshall aka the infinity witch.
