BXBX NOVEL Chapter 732 Brute Force
A day has passed by and they finally come to a conclusion. I didn\'t bother to ask them what it was even though I am curious since I want them to at least surprise me with what they are about to do against the boss. They ask me for some supplies but the most supplies they took from my stack are the flashbangs and stun grenades. I remembered that I have given them those items since it is one of the useful things that are used to deal with the leeches if they try to latch onto them.
Seeing them grab a lot of them, perhaps they are going to use it for the boss? I don\'t know but if they did, I am curious about how are they going to use it. This time around, only Cath Palug and I are the ones remaining on watching the situation.
"Why are you still out here, you little twerp?" I frowned at Cath Palug as he is still here without returning to the Summon\'s Area.
"Because I am in a first-class seat, you little sh*t," Cath Palug made a smug look on his face.
I can only sigh at him. There is no denying that this guy liked chaos and war, so he didn\'t want to miss out on something chaotic happening out of his little radar.
Well, I can at least grant him that. Unless he starts going on a rampage, he will remain a normal little f*cker for now.

Back into the battlefield.
The war is continuously happening and despite the efforts of the players, they realized that instead of the enemies getting less and less as they easily dispatch them, they realized that as time goes on, the number of leeches and worms attacking is getting numerous. Not only that but there are already countless casualties due to the surprise leech attacks.
Because Leech-type monsters are very rare and can only be seen by chance, players who get latched on by these enemies are immediately considered dead so they are left to their doom. Leeches are invincible during the time they latch onto a player or anything that they bite into. causing them to be really hard to deal with.
But compared to them, Sigma\'s group already has a way to stop the leeches from locking someone\'s fate into oblivion. One leech leaped into the air and landed straight on Hagane and already latched on his body, never letting itself go.
The other players who have seen that can only shake their heads seeing that this will cause Hagane\'s death. But then, they were shocked when Hagane pulled out a stun grenade and used it, before throwing it down below his feet.
[Stun Grenades]
Type: Throwable Item
Info: An item created by a master craftsman with a habit of creating random things.
Effect: Explodes once the pin is pulled off. Upon explosion, within a 5-meter radius area that it exploded, all units, friendly and foe are inflicted with [Paralysis](Minor) for 7 seconds.
Everyone immediately went away from Hagane\'s direction, before the explosion of the grenade exploded, releasing a static electric boom, stunning everything in the vicinity, including Hagane himself. Of course, he already has prepared for it and activated his skill, [Refresh] to remove the debuff that was caused by the stun grenades.
As for the leech, it was pretty effective as it didn\'t even take a second before it fell down to the swamp, unmoving after being stunned. Hagane proceeds to bash it to death before it can recover from being stunned.
"Damn, I thought the stun grenades and flashbangs are the same things but he made it different items here huh? And it was a literal stun as it inflicts [Paralysis](Minor) upon explosion. Just how much free time does he have to create stuff like this?" Hagane scratches his head.
"Pretty much all the time I guess? Seeing how he is not so active in the battles nowadays, it is clear he is spending most of his time crafting and crafting. It\'s not new to us if he comes up with something different once again," Harmless Sparrow answered Hagane\'s question which made him tilt his head.
"Oh yeah, I remember him saying that he needs to keep on crafting stuff so that he can sell them and earn gold to exchange it for money."
"Ah, no wonder he rarely fights in dungeons these days. It\'s either he is focusing on making stronger equipment for the Dark Sea or he is making new equipment because his inventory of items is already overflowing. Who knows. Anyways, let\'s stop chatting and continue on our way to the boss. Now that the Stun Grenades are effective, perhaps that will allow us to break a lot of its body parts and will allow us to dispose of it faster," Dolly who is always in the rush for the battle is very much anticipating the battle against the boss.
The others agreed and continued on their way. Seeing that they are heading toward the boss, some of the confident players also followed suit. After all, they also wanted to attack the boss and gain significant honor for damaging and contributing to its death. Sigma and the others are fine with them, as long as they are not interrupting any kind of battles and if their greed doesn\'t activate. Other than that, they are pretty much a welcome addition for them.
Soon enough the group gathered on the slow-moving but constantly releasing monster boss. If looked from afar, the boss just looked like a sphere, but when they reached the nearest point of the boss, the disgusting creature revealed itself as a wriggling mass of worms and leeches, crumpled into a ball. The main reason it is moving is that the worms on its body are also moving as well, allowing it to move normally.
"You guys know the plan. Let\'s dispose of this sh*t so that we can proceed to the next one," Sigma then pulled out her own stun grenade. The others followed suit as well. The only ones who didn\'t pull one are Topaz, and Dolly who are already getting their spells ready.
"3! 2! 1! Throw it!"
Simultaneously pulling the pin and throwing it to the sphere, they immediately retreated from the 5-meter blast radius as quickly as they can.
PING!
A sharp noise can be heard in the surroundings before a large part of the sphere collapsed to the swamp waters after the sound echoed throughout the surroundings.
"There! Fire!"
Topaz and Dolly who are holding their spells for a bit throws the attacks in one go, straight to the stunned monsters and destroying them in one spell. Since most of them are crumpled in one place, the explosion of magic was enough to decimate a lot of them in one blast. As a result, the boss lost quite a big part of their body which is quite more effective in disposing of lots of them in the process. Regarding those other worms that didn\'t get caught in the explosion blast, the other players have decided to kill them since Sigma and the others didn\'t bother to attack and kill them and are getting ready for the next wave.
"It\'s working guys. Let\'s keep this blasting going! Let\'s brute force this monster and finish it as soon as we can!"
...
...
...
Color me surprised. To think Sigma would use the stun grenades I made in that way. Although their method is the same as the method I already know, Sigma\'s method is faster and easier to do. And I can tell that most likely, they will be able to dispose of this boss before it can keep itself regenerated with new worms. It doesn\'t really have the same method but I think it still works.
"Why are you chuckling by yourself even though there\'s nothing funny? Are you getting crazy?" Cath Palug squinted both his eyes looking at me.
"Mind your own business because I am minding my own. Don\'t bother me."
"TCH... what a nutjob."
Still, all I can say is that they are naturally on the road to accomplishing the mission now. So I am now thinking of the next boss. Since this will be the final wave, the remaining boss that I know in the past would be the same boss as here before. But since this is the final boss for the event, there must be some kind of quirk or different mechanic that will be given to it. Though I am still not sure about it. After all, the Sphere of Worms and Leeches doesn\'t have any new gimmicks aside from its usual one, so does this mean, it will end up much easier than it should have been?
I don\'t know, but perhaps it will be. But once the final wave ends, the main event comes in and that will be the time I will have to wreck the plans of Kaisar. Perhaps I have to make it there first before him and harvest all the things he is going to get and claim it for myself. All for the sake of stopping his growth.
