Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

-----

While we were exploring the dungeon, I noticed there was a small room to the side, and in the map it showed a treasure chest icon. There were no mobs this time, so it was easy to grab. Titan followed us from behind as Rita ran towards the treasure chest, hoping she could get something that wasn't mushroom-themed.

"I hope it is something that is not just some stupid mushroom accessory this time!" She said happily, opening the treasure chest.

And what came from the inside was a long and sticky tongue. Rita was then greeted by thousands of sharp fangs and the monstrous breath of a creature mimicking a treasure chest. Was this the reason why there were no monsters protecting the treasure chest?!

"A Mimic!" Said Titan. "Achlys, RUN!"

"Uwaah!" Rita was suddenly grabbed by the Mimic, as the monstrous tongue was wrapped around her. I ran towards Rita as I was faster than Titan, as Silver suddenly sprayed boiling water into the tongue of the Mimic.

"GRYSHAAA!"

SPLAASH!

The boiling water easily burned through the red flesh of the Mimic, making the creature groan in agony, letting go of Rita and retrieving its tongue inside of the treasure chest… only for large insect-like legs to emerge at each side of the treasure chest!

"GRAAAAAAHHH!!!" The monstrous creature groaned angrily, as I saw its Status… This thing was a Hidden Boss too?! It was a Gluttonous Mimic King, and was Level 15! What the hell? It was almost the same level as Titan! Why? Wasn't this a low-level dungeon? Were we being bamboozled by the system of this game or something?

"I-It is Level 15?!" Asked Titan.

"But why?" I asked, as I ordered Belle to grab Rita by her dress, carrying her away. Rita was paralyzed out of the sticky saliva of the Mimic, which could paralyze a player in contact.

"Uwawaahhh…" Rita cried, as I took out the potion against Paralysis I had made previously and forced it down her throat. "Graagggh…!"

"Drink this!!!"

"Ugh… Cough! Agh, you don't have to be so forceful about it!" Cried Rita, as she noticed the paralysis was gone.

"GRAAAAAH!"

The mimic suddenly began to charge towards us. The more it opened its jaws the larger the sharp fangs grew. The single tongue it had suddenly split into many more, looking incredibly creepy and realistic! Uagh, do we have to fight this? And its strong to begin with!

CLASH!

Titan moved forward and defended us, using his large body to resist the powerful attack from the Mimic. The enormous jaws were trying to break through his hard wooden armor, which was also his own body, so he was constantly losing HP, although he had a big amount of it.

"You damn thing!" Titan roared, using his giant fists and using a Technique within the Unarmed Fighting Technique Skill. "SKULL CRUSHER!"

CRAAAASH!

"Gryyaaaagh!"

​ His two fists hit the Mimic's head, crushing the treasure chest exterior and breaking it. The enormous beast was thrown down into the ground, but over half its HP was still remaining. Meanwhile, Titan quickly noticed that his own hands were cracking and then breaking apart.

Crack!

"W-What the…? This thing had insane defense if it just broke my arms like that…" He said, slowly trying to regrow them.

"GRAAAH!"

The mimic quickly stood up again, moving forward to leap over Titan. I had to quickly act! I ordered Belle to attack using her Horn Charge attack. She moved swiftly and fast, reaching the Mimic and hitting one of its insect-like legs, crushing it with her horns and making the monster lose its balance, falling to the side.

CLAAASH!

"MEEEE!" Belle roared angrily, as she started to attack the Mimic while it was in the floor, using her strong hoofs to pierce through the Mimic's shell. However, the deadly beast responded quite quickly and attempted to stab Belle with the sharp bug-like legs it had.

Belle was quickly saved by Loki who wrapped her vines around Belle's torso and retrieved her back before a giant bug-like leg were to crush her.

CLASH!

"Achlys, do something and stop staring dumbfounded!" I said, as Rita quickly snapped out of her daze and hurriedly nodded, waving her staff, and quickly conjuring her magic.

"O-Okay! Got it! Dark Bullet!" Rita said, as she generated several spheres of darkness surrounding her and then fired them consecutively against the monster. Each bullet hit the giant Mimic consecutively, destroying a small part of it constantly.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Small holes began to spread across the Mimic's body, as I saw that Rita was doing her part, I decided to quickly do my part as well. I conjured the combination of Wooden Shield and Plant Manipulation, generating several shields made of wood and then shaping them into spears, firing them towards the Mimic.

CLASH! CLASH!

Three spears quickly impaled the creature from left and right, and another from above!

BOOM!

"GRYYYAAAH!"

The creature began to struggle, but its central body was very small and frail. The third Wooden Spear ended sticking him into the ground and it was having a hard time trying to get off. I quickly led everybody to attack the monster while it was in this position. Rita continued firing her Dark bullets while Titan summoned three beasts, a Blazing Lion, a Storm Eagle, and a Water Tiger. The consecutive attacks began to tear apart the creature as its HP quickly plummeted all the way to zero.

"GRYYAAH…!"

Letting out a last cry of agony, the Mimic perished, exploding into particles of light resembling pixels. We quickly saw various items being dropped, which automatically distributed themselves within all three of us.

Ding!

[You defeated [Gluttonous Mimic King: Lv15]!]

[You gained 18000 EXP!]

[You gained 15000 Gold]

[Your Race and Job Class Level has increased from Level 11 to Level 13!]

[You acquired the [Mimic King's Gluttonous Tongue] x1, [Mimic King's Red Flesh] x10, and [Gluttonous Mimic King's Egg] x1!]

Eeeeeeh?! I got an egg?! W-Wha… another Hidden Boss Pet?! A-Aren't those rare? Is this because my LUK stat is quite high with my Legendary Warrior Title? Well, to begin with, I was able to deal nice damage to a monster way high in my level because of that Title alone, which offers great bonuses to all Stats and even +30% more damage against Boss-type monsters, which obviously includes hidden bosses.

But still! An Egg again…

What should I do with it?
