BXBX NOVEL Chapter 731 A Boss Made Of Piles Of Monsters
The group didn\'t hesitate to retreat as far as they can as the body of the Sphere of Worms and Leeches continues to break to pieces. It seems no one else has noticed that situation just yet except for them who are running away from the brewing chaos.
"Sh*t, what was that? Is that really the boss? It\'s not just normal monsters crumpled together to look big to others?!" Hagane looked again from the direction of the boss and shook his head.
"We didn\'t get it wrong, that was the boss indeed. But it seems it has a unique property of body for it to be capable of doing things like that. Its flesh seems to be alive and is made of other worms and other long insects, though most are just worms."
"What are we going to do? It\'s clear that this boss will not die so easily especially since it has multiple bodies in one! Every time it separates parts of its body, more of the flesh that gets detached is flinging itself alive. There is no way we will have to keep on fighting its flesh again and again until we run out of enemies to kill!" Harmless Sparrow didn\'t like this prospect to happen.
"Let\'s retreat for a bit and observe the situation. Let\'s go back to safety for now and watch the others fight against it, then we will decide what things we should do to defeat it. There\'s no benefit for us to remain here for the first day," Sigma immediately ordered.
Everyone agreed and pulled out a teleport scroll before returning to the cabin where Bladeheart was staying. If they wanted to have a proper good view of the battlefield, that was the only place they can think of.

Bladeheart who was currently relaxing with the others was surprised when a few people teleported near him. That\'s when he saw Sigma and everyone arriving as they softly landed on the ground after teleporting.
"Oh? You guys have returned early? You guys giving up on the enemy?" I asked as I sip the coffee in my hands.
"Nope, we just needed to retreat and strategize our next move against the new boss. It\'s something we have not seen before therefore, we will be observing it first before we fight against it," Sigma explained.
"That\'s the right choice, Lady Sigma. Unless you are sure about the enemy, do not engage in a battle against it until you can gauge that the enemy is someone or something you can best with. It works every time and that allowed me to survive for a long time due to that mindset of mine," Gobu happily parted a piece of advice to them though it a pretty common sense, many usually neglect it, making things harder for themselves.
"Then, Bladeheart, have you already seen a weakness against the boss?" Dolly asked me.
"I did. But I am not obligated to tell. It\'s best if you guys figure it out yourselves and don\'t just rely on me. If you guys still haven\'t figured out how to kill it for the next 3 days, then I will give a hint. The raid will not be fun if I just give you all an easy way to finish the raid and reap the rewards like nothing. Work hard for it instead."
Dolly grumbled as she usually does but Sigma nodded in response to my words.
"Indeed. Bladeheart is right. Just because he knew how to beat the boss doesn\'t mean we should just ask him about it. We also needed to figure things out on our own and not just rely on others. It would be a shame that the one who didn\'t fight already discovered the weakness of the enemy and we who are fighting against it head-on cannot even determine a single one. We should instead find it by ourselves and discuss it later."
As much as Dolly wants to grumble, she had no choice but to agree. As for me, I stood up and returned to the cabin.
"Where are you going, man?" Hagane asked.
"You guys would be here for quite a while so while I am at it, might as well cook something for you guys. That should help train my cooking skills for quite a bit as well."
And with that said, they joined together to observe the monster while I went back inside and started cooking several foods. It might not be as great and tasty as my mother\'s food, but it doesn\'t mean it was bad and sh*tty to eat. In fact, I am always proud of my growth in cooking as well. Soon enough, I might be able to open up my own store and create delicious food for everyone and sell it for money.
But for now, it\'s only for my friends and family for now.
When I returned, everyone are absorbed in observing the boss. I already knew how to defeat it but since it was just a straightforward way to kill it, I am not going to tell them that all they needed to do is to kill its flesh as much as they can until nothing else was left behind. Perhaps if I let them do the observation, perhaps they might find a new way to kill the boss without the prolonged way of doing it. I believe they can do it or perhaps discover it. It\'s the after all unless this boss really has no other way to defeat other than the normal way it should have been.
They are busy discussing things that I didn\'t interrupt them and just put down the table and put all of the food and drinks that I prepared for them without talking at all to them. Even though they are busy, they saw that I put down the food and they immediately flocked and grab a few plates for themselves and started grabbing their share before returning to their previous position earlier.
The only one who didn\'t return to their position is Sigma. Instead of discussing the boss\'s weaknesses with the others, she decided to talk to me instead.
"Hey, are you sure that you have found its weakness? Because we have used every single angle and theory we can come up with against it and yet we don\'t get anything close on what to do about it."
"I already did. The boss is pretty much a straightforward monster so even you should be able to spot it. Unless you are just thinking too much. Relax and think in a simple manner. Don\'t overdo what you are thinking and perhaps you will arrive at the same conclusion as I did."
I can see Sigma\'s confusion on her face but I didn\'t say much to her. It\'s her choice now and not mine. And even if they are my friends, I don\'t want to spoil the fun and let them discover it by themselves.
Being in a passive manner like an expert felt great. No wonder some great people who teach students just do the same because of the fact that this kind of experience is something fun. Perhaps next time, I should do it again. After all, its not that bad.
