Athanor Online: Monarch of War

Mysterious Objects

*Blair! Blaarr!

Fireball explosions, iceberg hits, lightning strikes. All the Zephys had gone through with great difficulty, already 5 minutes Zephys had moved and dodged the attack from the Elemental Cerberus, there was no gap in sight which meant the Zephys had no chance at all. Zephys hung on a large chain of dungeon ceilings to keep their distance

The blue blade he bit while the red blade tightly held Zephys, honestly he could not believe what he saw. Elemental Cerberus, a storied demon living in the depths of the Abyss. His figure is not too feared by some Abyss residents because the strength among them is fairly balanced

But outside the Abyss, Elemental Cerberus belongs to a powerful demon. The combination of mastered elements can be a weapon to dominate the fight, let alone having three heads that increase visibility making this a very calculated thing for Zephys

But honestly Zephys did not expect it to happen like this, he had fought Kargalan a while ago but he did not understand why he had to face Elemental Cerberus. The difference between them was already very clear from the multiples of their levels, but if Kargalan was at the same level, then the conditions did not change that much. The Elemental Cerberus has certainly won in all aspects, both speed, strength, and ability. The Abyss inhabitants were the strongest of the strongest

Unlike the confidence against Kargalan, this time the Zephys no longer had a chance. The difference between them was too far away, one time Zephys was attacked then he would perish at that time. He was eager to escape out of this room, but his exit was already covered in very thick ice and to destroy it, the strength of the Zephys was still not enough

Zephys dropped down and grasped his twin blades in an inverted position, understanding that at the moment he could not possibly defeat the Elemental Cerberus, but at least he wanted to put up a fight in search of his attack pattern. Because after all Zephys will come back to subdue Cerberus in front of him

"I'll try as much as I can..."

A long air pull slightly filled his lungs, resting on the tip of his foot, Zephys darted with a thrust. As Zephys' broad steps cut through the wind trying to cut the distance, Cerberus stomped his feet and from underground came a sharp layer of ice willing to pierce Zephys. But a quick reflex is able to make acceleration in a precarious state

Zephys knew that Cerberus had a balanced status of strength, speed, and agility. Even so, he did not want to take it off

"Ghost Dive"

As existence was completely lost, Zephys accelerated through the air and shot towards the Cerberus, within a short time Zephys managed to get in front of Cerberus's middle head which seemed to be an Ice element. The bewildered Cerberus saw his target disappear, but they were startled by their target which suddenly appeared in front of the middle head.

Zephys turned his dagger and swung strongly towards the eyes of the Cerberus, a piercing sound was heard clearly as well as a shout from the middle head of the Cerberus

"To-west you!"

Zephys smiled happily seeing the pained expression clearly visible on the face of Cerberus' middle head, yet it only lasted for a short while. The two heads did not want to remain silent when one of his brothers was injured, each of them emitting an elemental laser beam

But Zephys who are still in F Mode have thought a step or two ahead. Zephys retraced the blunt side of the dagger still embedded in the middle head of Cerberus's eyeballs as a foothold, and as the two lasers headed toward him the Zephys unceremoniously jumped back

Zephys managed to avoid a fairly deadly laser attack, on the other hand the two lasers even hit both of their heads, each of them, because the Zephys were in a position parallel to them, the laser that was supposed to take the life of the Zephys instead became the master's eating weapon

"You can aim no!?" Say the head of the fire-element wolf or call him Red, screech his brother with the lightning element call him Yellow

"Ha!? I should have asked like that!" Say the Yellow one who doesn't seem to want to budge

"Can you shut up!, my eyes hurt so much this time!" A high note came out from the head of Cerberus the middle of the Ice element, call him Blue

The pain is clearly felt in Blue eyes, both eyes are still embedded twin blades fairly deep, but Red and Yellow blame each other, they argue with each other even though the condition of the blue itself is quite alarming

Zephys prepared his horses, this time empty-handed. His twin blades he accidentally left him to deal damage continuously. Elemental Cerberus has a troublesome skill that is regeneration, but this skill can only be used when the wounds received are not piled up with damage anymore. Therefore, Zephys chose to implant his twin blades to eliminate the Blue's sight once it broke the regeneration

The voice of debate was quite heard in Zephys ears, he chose to ignore it and take this opportunity. Zephys had no intention of attacking Cerberus, the eyes of Zephys choosing to observe around. He knew the explosive damage he had was not enough to exert any influence or pressure on Cerberus

Doubtful, Zephys hesitated. He has no information, any speculation, any mature plans. F Mode was not even very helpful, this was enough to make him break out in a cold sweat. The dimly lit room was so empty, the torchlight that surrounded the room, as well as the long chain scrolls on the ceiling

"Chain...?"

Zephys eyes looked at the Cerberus with a probing gaze

___

Elemental Cerberus

Hp \= 87%

___

"!?"

Surprised, Zephys was surprised. 100% decreased to 87%, the damage that Zephys put out was quite insane, well if it was purely the overall damage of his attack. Realizing that his attack was not as painful as this, Zephys knew that the laser light eating the master was the most contributing

Zephys smiled, he found a tool that he would process into finished goods, making him quite excited this time. Although the chance to run it is below 50% but it is more than enough. Zephys opens Avatar status

Dex 572 + 138 \= 710

Status Points that Zephys had collected, with a heavy heart immediately invested everything in Dex status. This plan will not work if the Zephys move is still slow. He must be fast!

Zephys took out two daggers that were drop items from the demon he had previously killed.

The Cerberus who seemed to have finished arguing, looked at the smiling Zephys happily, making them both confused and annoyed. A magic energy gathered on their mouths. As it breathed, the elemental balls rained down on the Zephys

But this is not too much of a problem, the speed of movement is already at a point sufficient to avoid the elements of the Cerberus balls. But still, he should not let his guard down a little

'Why do they keep attacking with long-range attacks?'

This is a little strange, Elemental Cerberus is a relatively intelligent creature. Therefore, he looked confusedly at Cerberus, but it was solved when he looked more closely. A large chain smeared with chunks of ice seemed to refuse the Cerberus to be free

A smile coiled back around his face, "It's getting easier" he thought

"You think this toy ball could hit me?" A mischievous smile seemed to warp, attracting the attention of Cerberus

""YOU!"" Both Red, Blue, and Yellow frowned, signaling they were provoked with a simple provocation

The magic power was much more powerful they pressed on their muzzles, a small ball of black formed they ate it with a single bite. Their mouths expanded as if a small black sphere was a power source, their mouths emitted a pitch-black smoke and at the highest point a laser light shot rapidly towards the Zephys

The Zephys instantly accelerated on his legs, with all the possible Zephys moving avoiding the three lasers that were pointed at him. "It's too fast!" Thought

Despite his high speed of movement and reflexes, the Zephys still could not avoid this fatal attack perfectly. As a result, his left arm was again cut neatly. The Cerberus laughed satisfied to see the beautiful scenery in front of him

"You sure you can defeat us at such speed, Human?!" Blue reacts first with a condescending laugh

"What can you do with that pathetic arm, you weak creature?!" Yellow Turn who laughed this time

"Hey how about you poop!?, want me to clean up!?" Now it's Red's turn to laugh

But their laughter did not last long, an arm grew back on the Zephys. The Cerberus realized that the man in front of him was not an ordinary creature. "Immortal Creatures!" Thought they

Immortal Creatures, is the name of a creature that in the quotes "Born in Athanor Online", for a player such as Zephys

Zephys stood still, focused on his left arm that had returned. But that does not mean he is deaf, he heard clearly the speech of this three-headed wolf. "If I had held Reus' Blackstar, you would have perished" he thought

Ignoring Cerberus' shocked gaze, Zephys stared at the impact of the laser attack that nearly took his life. The air around the track was warm, he immediately knew that if he did not avoid it, he would die of exhaustion

Zephys gazes at the impact of Cerberus' attack and discovers something strange, a secret room that accidentally appears due to the impact of a laser attack that destroys the wall that was supposed to protect from this room

"Sister... That room..." Yellow said in a trembling tone, indicating he was very frightened. But it was not answered by his brother who also expressed the same

Seeing his opponent's behavior made Zephys curious. He walked the road to get there, but..

"Quick finish him!" Blue tried to instruct his brother, "Can't where I've run out!" Red Sah

Not wanting to remain silent, Cerberus ran over to Zephys. But alas, a machine-vibrating sound was heard, the chains that held Cerberus in place did not allow him to go any further

Seeing the strangeness of his opponent's situation, Zephys instead became curious. He entered the room. Dark, as usual dark, but not for long the light of the blue lantern illuminated the secret room

Zephys saw a golden ball floating on one of the stones, he began to shine brightly because he realized there was someone nearby. Can be seen the face of despair seen on the three heads of Cerberus

"Haha.... HAHAHA!" Zephys laughed out loud when he saw the golden ball, as if he knew it. It is true that the memory of Antharis Online was so sharp on his head, making him know. What exactly is that ball.
