Versatile: Alternate World

I didn't go all out when I was fighting the two weapons at all. I occasionally attack them but I don't attack them with the usual firepower that I release in most enemies I battle against. That is because I keep holding back my attacks and did not take everything so seriously, only focused on dodging a little bit before attacking casually then starts dodging again.

It's not like I am treating this boss fight casually but I am conserving my energy to ensure that I won't get tired once I fight against the Tormentor himself who is still not attacking despite the spear breaking and him fuming in anger. It was like he has a code that he would only occasionally attack while either of the two are still up and alive on the field.

Also, the main reason I keep my calm in fighting against the two sentient weapons is to ensure that the sentient weapons don't know what I was planning in the beginning. I didn't go all out from my attacks, I didn't bombard them with attacks that would cost a lot of mana to cast and explodes, I only ensured that they get closer and closer to each other as I keep on dodging. It's a little bit tricky but I managed to pull it off.

This was a strategy that was accidentally performed in the past timeline. When we are fighting these same sentient weapons, a few of our group were forced to dodge the spear but at that time, the sword was about to break as it is the one that was bombarded the most. When the spear struck, it was also coincidentally the time the sword was also gonna strike so when the spear made its stab, the sword made its swing, and that caused the spear to break to pieces just like what happened. Also, since the sword is about to break, the moment the two weapons collided, the two break and we are into the final phase against the boss.

Too bad that only the spear broke this time but it was understandable as I didn't damage the sword too much for it to break but since the sword is a much easier enemy than the spear, it doesn't really matter to me.

Now that one of the sentient weapons is gone, it's time to be serious.

I started running towards the sword and the sword immediately attacks me. I easily avoided the strike and the blade misses me. The moment it stayed on the ground, I also started my attack. Changing my weapon into a hammer, I immediately headed to the area I kept on firing the Cannonball since the beginning of the fight and repeatedly swing it down. The cannonball is still stuck there so I slam the hammer multiple times before it goes to attack again.

"You are wasting your time. If you think you can defeat the sword, ha, in your dreams."

The Tormentor might have been angry earlier but he immediately calmed down seeing the sword is still alive. He really is annoying despite him not yet attacking.

"Will you just shut up? You can talk all you want later but will you stop talking sh*t? You are not even the guy I am fighting against so close that three mouths of yours and just stay there."

"YOU..."

This is one of the reasons this guy is not that troublesome. He is easy to irritate and he has these condescending comments at times. He might look scary but he barely has any threat while the sword is still alive. Also, it is also part of the strategy I am answering at him like this since this will come to play later. Don't mind the slight bickering as this is not the "exciting" part of the battle. It's just an annoying mini-boss with a good chunk of health. Once it's done, we are good to go to the main content and the main entertainment.

The sword has a slow and sluggish movement but I didn't waste that sluggish movement to my advantage. Every time it slams down to the ground, I take advantage of it and started hammering the cannonball on the sword that got embedded in the surface. It might not look like it was doing a thing but seeing the HP of the sword going down which is now by the way in 500,000 is a bit satisfying.

It didn't take long for the sword to slowly lose the speed it has before. It has also zero accuracies now and slams down to the ground randomly even though I was not there. I still continue slamming my hammer down to it and it didn't take that long for the cannonball to reach so deep enough into the sword. You can even see the crack appear on the surface and it was like it was about to fall to pieces in just a few more attacks.

"My sword, you seemed to be having trouble. Here, I will give you the [Berserk Blessing]. Now go, and smash that guy to pieces!"

SNAP!

The sword immediately got menacing and stronger all of a sudden. However, this was a double-edged sword effect. Just like the normal berserk effect, the one afflicted by it will gain tremendous power but in exchange, the defense value of anyone or anything afflicted by it will go tremendously down to the drain, and taking damage will be easier than ever.

The sword is now back to its tip-top shape's speed and it is swinging faster than ever. I think it will one hit kill me if I got hit by it so I decided to end this once and for all. Instead of repeating the same hammer trick and slamming down the cannonball of the sword, I decided to take advantage that the sword has lowered defense value now.

When it slammed to the ground, I took advantage of it still being immobile, and changed my weapon into a magic sword. I imbued it with the earth element and stab the gap that was made from the cannonball. Then I activated the skill I usually use as a finisher and sometimes, a gut-rending skill that has not failed me just yet.

"[Earth Fissure]!"

CRACK CRACK CRACK!

Countless cracks appeared on the blade. It took a bit of time before the whole sword cracked. It didn't break to pieces and retained its form but the crack remains.

"What is happening? My sword, don't fail me now."

The sword tried to move again but due to this little action, its end came over immediately. That slight force of the sword trying to move again has decided to cause what keeps the sword's blade intact to give up and it didn't need the genius to know that the sword finally falls, ending its life.

Now that the sword is gone, time for the main dish of the menu.
