VRMMORPG: Dragomancer Reborn



Having discovered that he could stack the debuffs from the Lock Skill, Arthur now had the means to fight most mobs, as long as they were within a certain level from him.

'I just need to chase after it now.' Arthur thought as he ran after the stallion.

The Rock Stomping Wild Stallion's Agility and Stamina had both been reduced, which was now allowing Arthur to catch up with the beast. The beast's stamina continued to fall and Arthur kept on checking it as he ran after the beast.

He didn't run straight behind it either but rather followed the paths that the beast would take so that the distance he would need to cover was less. Thankfully, once the stamina of the beast reached the 30% mark, the Rock Stomping Wild Stallion needed to replenish it.

'The only time it would continue to run is if it is fighting against players. I haven't directly aggro'd it right now, thus it is still following its normal behavior. Once it had reached a place to drink water, it'll stop and that will be my time to attack!' Arthur went over the plan in his mind.

And sure enough, after a few more minutes, the Rock Stomping Wild Stallion's stamina fell below the 30% mark, prompting it to go to the nearest location with water. 

"So the lake it is." Having known about the area, Arthur also knew what the closest place to drink water was.

It was a small lake and could be seen from the distance due to the shimmering water. Being in the plains meant that spotting things from a distance was easier.

"Let's go Brambles!" Arthur summoned the Dragon Horn Beetle again. 

~kiririr~

The beetle let out a chittering cry, ready for a fight.

Its desire for battle was something that was unlike the original Long Horn Bramble beetle. The Long Horn Bramble beetle was mostly passive and would avoid fights, instead choosing to endure them.

Perhaps it was due to the awakening of the Dragon bloodline within it. The behavior of the beast had become more aggressive. At the same time though, it was smarter than before, being able to understand complex commands.

Arthur approached the lake from the back while the Rock Stomping Wild Stallion was busy drinking water. It needed to drink a lot of water to replenish its stamina, thus there was time for Arthur to approach it silently.

And once he was near, Arthur used Lock again.

>Weapon Skill Lock has succeeded!<

>Rock Trampling Wild Stallion's Toughness and Vitality will be sealed!<

>Rock Trampling Wild Stallion has been weakened: Toughness -1, Vitality -2<

This time the effect of Lock seemed to be less than before, but Arthur didn't mind, as every little bit counted. Not to mention, the stats that had been sealed now were Toughness and Vitality, which would prevent the Rock Trampling Wild Stallion from lasting that long.

"NEIGH!" The Rock Trampling Wild Stallion was startled by the sudden use of the skill, as well as the weakness that was filling it again.

'Brambles, use Horn Lift from the other side and throw the enemy towards me.' Arthur commanded the beetle.

~BZZAT~

Being able to fly meant that Brambles could simply cross the lake directly. Brambles quickly reached the other side while the Rock Trampling Wild Stallion was still startled and charged towards it with its tough horn.

~THWACK~

The collision of the two beasts was loud, and Brambles directly stuck its horn under the Rock Trampling Wild Stallion's belly and raised it high!

[-12% HP!]

>The Rock Trampling Wild Stallion has been thrown in the air, it will be unable to attack while in air<

The Rock Trampling Wild Stallion sustained some damage from it too, making it closer to its death.

~WHOOSH~

The large stallion was thrown away like a rag doll, soaring towards Arthur.

Arthur calculated the time needed for the stalling to reach him and got ready to attack.

~Huu~

'Just like I've done before…' Arthur took a deep breath and pulled the Key Spear back.

Gathering strength in his arms, he kept his eyes trained onto the falling figure of the Rock Trampling Wild Stallion. 

"NOW!" And just when the stallion was a meter away from him, Arthur stabbed the Key Spear.

"NEIGHHHHHHHH!~" The Rock Trampling Wild Stallion let out a grueling cry of pain, as the spear blade cut into its flesh.

The momentum of its fall also made it so that it was pushed further into the spear. 

[-60% HP]

[Critical Hit!]

Dietrich directly pieced through the shoulder of the Rock Trampling Wild Stallion, coming out of the other side!

>The Rock Trampling Wild Stallion has been impaled<

>The Rock Trampling Wild Stallion's mobility has been reduced by 80%<

Since the stallion's shoulders were pierced, it couldn't move its legs properly. Not to mention, the pain of the attack was still making it unable to think properly. But it also meant that Dietrich was struck inside the Rock Trampling Wild Stallion's body. 

'Thankfully, I got a spare!' Arthur took out the Black Tear Short Sword and directly used swing boost while slashing away at the stallion.

[-5% HP]

[-5% HP]

[-5% HP]

[-5% HP]

The slashes were weaker, but the speed of them made up for their damage output.

[-8% HP]

[Fatal Hit!]

And finally, the Rock Trampling Wild Stallion couldn't endure it any longer and died.

>Player Arzhur has killed the Rock Trampling Wild Stallion!<

>Player Arzhur has obtained 40% Experience!<

>Player Arzhur has leveled up!<

>Player Arzhur has obtained 10 free stat points<

>Dragon Horn Beetle has contributed to the battle, partial experience will be granted!<

>Dragon Horn Beetle has obtained 30% Experience!<

"Another step ahead." Arthur was pleased by the level up. 

He pulled out Dietrich from the corpse of the Rock Trampling Wild Stallion and was ready to butcher it. But it seemed like it was not the end of the notifications yet.

>Player Arzhur has learned a new skill: Skewer!<

"Huh? It actually generated a skill?" Arthur was surprised.
