Bossing the boss like a boss

(A/N Notes: Rhyming a rhyme like a rhyme) 

Red was doing his final preparations for his boss fight, against the secret boss of the tournament event, Luparious I

"Alright, everything is set"

He closed his inventory screen and turned to face Luparious I, and slowly walked towards him, only stopping when Luparious I started talking

"You must be a mad man for facing me after seeing my previous fight"

"He didn't know what he was going against, but I do"

"Bold words for a human" *Battle pose*

"May the best one win" *Battle station*

They both took on a battle pose, Luparious I with his magical staff and Red with his bow, and he also put an epic battle music to raise the tension

[3... 2... 1... Begin]

And at the announcement of the start of the battle, the two immediately jumped into action, Luparious I prepared his spell, while Red differently from what everyone thought, he stored his bow and dashed forward directly towards the boss

"!"

Luparious I, AI was somewhat thrown off due to the great difference in speed between Xxx_Blackknight69_xxX and Red Null and was unable to react properly (A/N Notes: Peak player names)

<As I thought, his AI adapted on how to fight against slow and bulky opponents>

Using the opportunity, Red threw his Tomahawk towards the boss, who dodged it. Red already predicting that had already withdrawn his ax from his quick inventory, and used his short dash skill, immediately getting into close-quarters range, and made a heavy downward swing at Luparious I, who was unable to dodge was forced to take the damage head-on

"Gah!"

"..."

The boss lost a considerable amount of health, and Red was already going for a follow-up attack

"!"

"Che!"

But the boss was able to dodge it and made a counter-attack with low damage, but high fire rate magical attacks, forcing Red to run to evade from taking damage as he retrieved his Tomahawk like Thör, and took out his bow once again

"Time for my counterattack now!"

Red stopped running and made a geo construct in the direction of the boss, blocking his attack, Luparious I kept shooting at the construct, expecting Red to go back on running from either the left or the right side of the construct. But then...

"Surprise!"

Red came out of his hiding, by jumping on his geo construct and then jumping again even higher as he fully drew his bow and invoke five talismans, then he shot all of them at the same time

"!" *Jumps back to dodge the attack*

Luparious I, AI had some knowledge of the infamous explosive arrows and talismans of Red, because the devs made sure to put that in his memory, for a possible fight against him. And that knowledge paid off since he had really shot one of his infamous explosive arrows, but both Luaprious I and the devs forgot that Red wasn't someone to always use the same strategy. And so from the smoke of the explosion, the talismans came out at high speed directly towards the boss

"!?"

Those talismans, were as Red dubbed them, little steel seeker papers of death. In a more technical way, those talismans contained three magical properties, Steel, Tracking, and Speed up, the first gave them the same damage output of a basic steel arrow, the other guaranteed those talismans to reach the target no matter what, something the devs didn't notice until now, and the last one made those talismans as fast as a charged arrow shot, which was quite fast
