Thrown against the wall, what to do?

**English Translation:**

When I looked back, I could identify the enemy. It looked like a princess parrotfish, with a slightly elongated body, various colors, and some stripes on its body. Its previous attack seemed to be a water spear.

Monster: Deep Sea Parrotfish. Level 5

100% HP 100% MP

Hidden Boss.

Description: A fish that resides at the bottom of this pool of water and acts as the protector of a special chest. It is said to be a strong fish capable of piercing its enemies as a hidden boss. It is also said that its flesh is delicious when made into a stew.

I was surprised it was a hidden boss. After all, according to the forums, there are only field bosses in the initial village, and even then, they are rare, theoretically with the possibility of one existing in each hunting field... but in this village, at least, no field boss elimination notifications have appeared yet.

And evidently, the boss wasn't going to let me think about the possible rewards a field boss could give me or any other random thoughts, and it attacked again. My small whale body moved instinctively, and I barely avoided the boss's attack, only getting slightly hit on the side by the spear.

"Well… for this fight, it's better if I transform into my human form…"

I murmured as a unique beastly energy enveloped me and turned me back into a human. However, this time small respiratory systems could be seen on the sides of my neck, and my eyes looked even bluer than usual as if responding to the water.

Before fighting, I decided to take my luck potion. Hidden bosses usually give extra useful rewards, and the chest is also back there. Sure, it might be better to use it afterward, but I think it's a good idea to use it here. If I receive good rewards, it can help me get stronger and gain some advantage early in the game.

So I took out the beautiful glass bottle with a mysterious and beautiful green liquid. I drank the liquid; it tasted like green grape juice, delicious with a sweet and refreshing flavor.

< You took the Luck Strike Potion >

< Your luck increased for 3 hours >

< You received + 3 Luck points >

I smiled happily and looked at the fish. It shot the water spear at me again, but this time I moved quickly through the water and used my whip to catch the spear that passed by me, turning 90 degrees, and threw the spear back at the boss.

The boss, who seemed relaxed and unconcerned with life, was shocked to see its spear return and jumped to dodge it. Of course, I didn't intend to do just that since my wand immediately created an arrow and shot it silently and swiftly through the water bubbles.

It hit the boss's belly directly. The fish seemed irritated when it looked at me with hostility and killing intent.

I gripped my whip tightly. I'm at level 3 and have extra status points, but the enemy won't be easy. Besides having a higher level, as someone with boss status, it will become more dangerous and stronger.

But I didn't hesitate and threw my whip forcefully at it while shooting another magic arrow at it. The arrow was easily broken using its back fin. After doing that, it rushed toward me, but I hit the whip on the wall, sending various rock fragments and dust in its direction to distract and restrict its movement. Of course, this didn't do much to the boss, who ignored the attack and continued moving, but my whip didn't stop either.

I swam quickly through the water and used my whip to move like an electric eel, attacking it with speed and power. The whip struck the fish's scales, and it defended itself by quickly attacking or launching water spears or bubbles at me.

The battle continued for a while. I constantly used my whip and magic arrows while swimming, trying to dodge and maintain a medium to long-distance fight. The fish attacked me with its body and water attacks like bubbles, spears, and others, until at some point, its scales flew off its body, appearing sharp as dangerous blades.

In the fight, I got quite exhausted and had to consume some of my HP and MP potions. When I thought I was finally going to finish and defeat it, as it had reached 5% HP, the fish became enveloped in a dangerous blue aura.

< The boss activated Berserker mode. Its stats increase by 20%. Defenses are reduced by 15% >

I wasn't surprised, as I know most bosses in games have the concept of a second phase or boss mode, even when they weren't virtual reality and were only 2D. However, the next action shocked me because it appeared in front of me and used its body enveloped in a gigantic amount of water, sharp as a knife, pushing me directly into the wall with force and power.

I hit the wall and felt my bones and organs move in pain as if broken, and even my vision became dizzy for a few seconds as notifications flooded my mind.

< You received a massive amount of damage >

< Your life was reduced to 8%, be careful; a single fin could kill you now >

I closed my eyes and tried to come up with a solution while the boss looked down at me, and I swear I could see some mocking and disrespectful expression, as if looking at an ant or perhaps a plankton? The point is, it looked at me as if it could easily kill me…

I narrowed my eyes and took a special item from my inventory. I only have three, but it will be useful. A bottle with a cold blue liquid came out, and I quickly threw it at the boss. The boss looked at the item with indifference. I don't know if it didn't see it as a threat due to its lack of intelligence advancement or if it didn't see it as a threat due to how weak I am at this moment.

When the bottle reached a sufficient height, it exploded with force, surprising the boss and freezing it. Within about 5 meters of where the potion was activated, the entire water area was frozen, but the boss's body could still be seen.

< The boss was frozen for 5 seconds, due to being in a pure water environment, it is increased to 8 seconds >

I smiled and stored my whip at my waist while taking out my wand because I wanted to conduct a test. More specifically, I intended to take advantage of the flexibility the game "sells." The company claims it made the game more real and with high space for adaptability, handling, and creativity in how each player interacts and acts within it.

I drank my mana potion and released it into the water. The bottle floated down, and I closed my eyes and remembered the trainer's instructions as I pretended the time limits didn't exist. The "air entered and exited my respiratory system." The mana flowed from my body, first enveloping the area around me, and then with my control and guidance, it started to envelop the "frozen fish."

After this step, I focused on the feeling of the Mana Arrow skill and slowly tried to form my mana, but this time beyond the limit of my skill… It took time, and when 7.5 seconds had passed and the ice finally began to crack, I opened my eyes. With a joyful and accomplished smile, around the future frozen sushi were several mana arrows. I raised my wand and looked at the boss, murmuring.

"Well, let's see who dies first?"

And I lowered the wand, ignoring the sound of notifications and i focused on the scene before me.
