Versatile: Alternate World

When the second appendage of the Brain Jacker died, they immediately assumed the next move of the Brain Jacker and yes, they were right. It started making a new pattern of attacks. This time, it started flying. Of course, not as high as a bird but nonetheless, it is indeed flying,

"Now it is flying, sh*t, that is something I didn't expect to see," Hagane frowned as he shook his left shield while staring at the flying Brain Jacker.

"No, it's not really flying, it doesn't have wings and the guy doesn't fly higher than 6 feet off the ground, it's more like it is hovering in the air. We can still fly higher than the Brain Jacker." Harmless Sparrow noticed.

"Still, now that it is floating in the air, there will be new attack patterns that it will try to release, we should be careful since it knows how to deal with a one-shot attack. Tanks, ready yourselves, buff up your defenses, and make sure that this guy can't approach our backline!" Sigma ordered.

Hagane and Iron immediately cast multiple defensive buffs on themselves but while they are doing so, the Brain Jacker suddenly expanded, and its remaining three appendages start moving erratically and faster than before as it charged toward everyone like a falling meteor.

"[Attack Redirection]! Iron raised up his shield and the Brain Jacker that is about to head straight to the magicians have its attack redirected as Iron his skill allows him to catch all kinds of attacks meant to be for the other players.

As the Brain Jacker collided with Iron's shield, it immediately used its appendages and grab Iron's head, and tried to squeeze it.

"AAAAAAGGGHHHHH!" Iron screamed in pain as the Brain Jacker is adding more force to its flimsy tentacles.

Sigma who is quick on her reaction didn't get to react as fast as she should have and instead, Mr.Teddy who was on the sidelines is the one who saved Iron by suddenly kicking the creature off of Iron's shield. Due to the kick that Mr. Teddy released, the Brain Jacker that has all of its focus on Iron didn't see the incoming kick, allowing the former to easily remove him from the shield and save Iron from it.

Mr.Teddy immediately pulled out a splash health potion on Iron, healing him from his injuries.

"Tanks, be careful. Be sure to get away from the Brain Jacker once you made contact with them. Don't even bother trying to keep them on hold on your shields, deflect them as soon as possible or perhaps use a [Shield Bash]," Sigma shoots off a few gold chains once more to attack the Brain Jacker but it immediately skitters away before the chains could reach it.

"Sorry about that... I messed up again."

"Get yourself together dude, without that risky attacks, we wouldn't know its little patterns," Hagane immediately consoled Iron and pat his shoulder.

Dolly and Topaz fired off several long-range spells and some binding spells as well but just like before, the Brain Jacker is so swift. But Sigma who keeps missing before finally gets the hang of the speed of the Brain Jacker. After it dodges a few attacks from everyone, Sigma immediately fired off a few more chains that the Brain Jacker has never anticipated even though it is moving quite fast, it wasn't fast enough to do so.

Two of the golden chains pierce the Brain Jacker's body and it was enough for the Brain Jacker to halt its movements.

"Hell yeah, this is what I've been waiting for!" Harmless Sparrow who is just waiting for the right time to strike immediately dashes next to the Brain Jacker and ignited her sword before she started swinging it like there is no tomorrow. The Brain Jacker didn't expect to receive the lash of Harmless Sparrow and with flames directly hitting its body, it tried to squish out of the chains but had a hard time doing so without being hit by the flames again and again.

And since it cannot move, everyone begins to throw a barrage of attacks at it, not even giving the monster to breathe once as the barrage of attacks comes from every direction.

As they keep their barrage of attacks, two appendages fell from the Brain Jacker and no one realized it until the Brain Jacker did one final move just so it could escape from the barrage. It immediately cut off a small part of its body, and immediately escaped. It was so small that it managed to slip off from their attacks."

"Oh sh*t, it's escaping!"

Dolly and Topaz immediately fired off some quick spells at the Brain Jacker but since it was small enough, it managed to dodge them all. Even the Hook and Chain of Bladeheart's Mother missed and didn't manage to catch the monster off.

Before everyone can catch up to the monster, it jumped off from the soil arena platform, leaving everyone behind.

"Chase after it!"

Bladeheart's mother controlled the soil again and let it return to the ground naturally. Once the soil is back to normal, everyone started flying to chase after it. It was small but not small enough to hide.

"Damn, although this is a raid boss, I hate that it acts like it's a normal dungeon boss! Dungeon boss is more challenging than this! Chasing this guy is just a chore!" Hagane complained.

"Come on, Hagane, if the game is this easy, we would have already gotten bored by this! Just focus on chasing it and perhaps we can even..." before Dolly can finish what she was saying, what happened before her was something she wouldn't expect to happen.

The Brain Jacker quickly went ahead but a loud gunshot just echoed throughout the surroundings and the Brain Jacker that was just escaping immediately flew into the air, with a big hole in its body.

As for the shooter, he didn't expect to land a hit. Bladeheart was stunned when he looked at the notification.

-Dealt 10,000 damage.

-Dealt a fatal hit! Instant Kill!

-You have killed the Brain Jacker!

-received...

...

Bladeheart was too stunned that he didn't know what happened as he was just using his gun to get rid of one of the monsters he saw ruining his view on the battlefield. He pulled out the Pain Delivery and shot the flying monster but since his aim was terrible and the pistol is not even a long-range one, the bullet missed the target. But... it hit a different target instead. And being the same Pain Delivery that deals a hefty amount of damage, it's an instant kill.

"Holy crap... did I just make a kill steal on everyone?"
