With my dash, those players took few steps back. They were afraid.
I first targeted those four Forest Elf Flowers.
Ice had already gone to the boss and I was getting late as every second was precious.
The weather suddenly started to get clowdy and cool.
And there was it, the message I was waiting for.
[Due to your title {Cursed Player} Forest Elf Flowers have acquired new skill: Frenzy Vines]
Suddenly, a greenish thick vine came out of the ground infront of me. It's edge was sharp and it was targeted at me.
I jumped in the air to dodge it and then swinged my weapon while rolling in the air and cut it into three pieces.
The players infront of me—specially that fat player was really surprised to see the Forest Elf Flowers use a new skill.
I landed on the ground smoothly and all four of them simultaneously used there skill again.
Four vines emerged from the ground, two came at me while other two went towards the players and pierced their stomach—eventually killing two of them.
The fat player fall on the ground and cried in fear, "Hey... hey, what the fuck is this? "
I looked at him with disgrace and said to him while standing still, "You really are a piece of trash, aren't you? "
And with a dash and a swing, I killed a Forest Elf Flower right infront of me.

[You have gained 2 Relic Fragments]
[You have gained 326 exp]
[Your weapon {Rodrigo's Wrath} has gained 216 exp]
The remaining three looked at me but then for some reason only two came towards me while the other one went to that fat player.
Well, it was just making my work easy. So I ignored it and targeted the two walking towards me.
I looked towards the scren showing time limit of my Passive Increasement.
[Passive Increasement in effect]
[Time left: 1 minute]
'1 minute, huh? I need to increase my speed of slaying these creatures down. '
DASH
SWING SWING SWING
SWING SWING SWING
I beheaded the two infront of me.

[You have gained 675 Artifact Fragments]
[You have gained 9 Relic Fragments]
[You have gained 676 exp]
[Your weapon {Rodrigo's Wrath} has gained 634 exp]
Now only the fat player with his some other players and the last Forest Elf Flower were left.
That Forest Elf Flower was not the only Forest Elf Flower who was alive. There were more but for my quest, I only needed one more and as it was infront of me, for me it was the last one.
I tightened my grip on my Rodrigo's Wrath, adjusted my right foot, leaned forward a bit and got ready to slay it down along with that fat player.
DASH
But then that Forest Elf Flower used it's skill and there was another Frenzy Vine infront of me.
'Uh fuck! '
I side stepped instinctly and dodged it and then with another dash.
SWING SWING SWING
The Forest Elf Flower was down and now infront of me was the fat player laying on the ground.
There was a lot of blood on my face, on my clothes.
I looked at that fat player laying on the ground, gave him a smirk and asked, "So, in what way do you want to die? "
His tears were running down his cheeks.
He was just like me—he had a Rodrigo's Wrath but it was powerless infront of me as it was only level 1.
His sword was in his right hand, he tightened it's grip, ready to strike me.
And then in the next second, he swinged it towards me.
SLASH
His right hand went flying towards the remaining players who were plotting to kill me.
Of course, I cut it.
Blood came out of his wound like a fountain, spraying all over, on my legs and on his face and clothes. He covered his wound using his other hand.
SWING
I cut it too, sat on the ground, leaned a bit towards his face and asked again, "You didn't answer my question. Let me ask you again, in what way do you want to die? "
He didn't say a thing. He was too scared, the only thing he was capable of doing was crying.
I stood up, turned towards the boss and looked at him with the corner of my left eye and said to him, "Well, let's not meet again as next time I won't hesitate to kill you. "
He didn't reply, he kept crying.
Right infront of me was the group of players fighting the boss, the boss, and Ice and her summon—Alissa.
The boss looked totally different from it's minions.
Totally creepy, totally monstrous.
The environment around the boss, the surroundings of the boss were shaped in the way to support the boss.
It was massive—far larger than anything that should have been able to move that quietly. Its body was hunched and overgrown, layered with twisted bark, moss, and thorn-covered flesh, as if the forest itself had tried to grow into a predator and failed to stop halfway. Jagged spines rose from its back, slick with sap and rot.
Its face was the worst part. The mouth opened far too wide, splitting into petal-like flaps of raw, pale flesh, each lined with rows of needle-sharp teeth. When it breathed, strands of saliva and greenish fluid dripped from between them, hissing softly as they hit the ground. I could smell it—wet earth mixed with decay.
Its limbs were thick and powerful, ending in clawed, root-like fingers that dug effortlessly into wood and soil.
But there was something disturbing happening infront of me.
Alissa was laying on the ground—wounded.
While Ice was in fear, shaking, laying on the ground too.
But the boss was not looking at the group of the players as they all were too tired to even move.
The boss was looking at Ice, and then it roared at Ice.
GWAHHHHH!
A very creepy roar.
And then, the boss pulled it's right hand in the air and then struck it down with massive force to kill Ice.
It was around two meters away from striking Ice.
Alissa moaned in pain, "No.... master! "
Right infront of Ice was her death—her doom.
The group of the players wanted to move but they couldn't in fear.
But then there was it—a serpent made up of some reddish energy which cut that hand off and sent it flying in the air.
A massive hand was cut off.
The group of the players, Alissa and Ice looked towards the direction from where it came from.
And of course, in that direction there was only one player who could do this, who had that much potential.
That player had his left hand in his pocket, in his right hand was his weapon—it's blade rested at his right shoulder. And he was walking towards those players, Ice and the boss.
It was none other than me—Airu.
With a calm voice, I said to all of them, "Yo."
