After sprinting for few minutes, Reyansh arrived at the base of Active Volcano while killing 5 more Magma brutes on the way. In his current state, they were only few second worth of time.

The environment at the base had completely changed from earlier, land or rather burned rocky patches for footing was sparse.

Most the place was covered with thick streams of lava, flowing actively from volcano.

He stood at the base for a second, noticing the severity of situation. The temperature was so high that the Reyansh’s body and clothes were crisp dry even after sweating so much.

[Anonimus_Assassin: That’s it, the final boss. I am waiting as to how he fights the boss.]

[Daoist_kun: Yeah, we haven’t seen him fight any boss yet too.]

[Ellise: It will be interesting to watch him fight in this state.]

[Raisena_Forge: But fight against boss will be exponentially difficult, let’s see.]

He looked at his almost healed knuckles, there was still slight pain in the palm of his right hand as he gripped his katana.

He remembered a healing potion given by Sandra, he was tempted to use it for a moment to heal his injuries.

However, he decided against it, as he was forming an entirely different idea for his fight against the boss.

’Maybe the trait spark will have some growth, if I endure a bit,’ he reasoned though he was still thankful to Sandra for sending that potion.

As a plan finalized in his mind, he started his journey upwards amidst the rivers of lava. Jumping between the patches of rocks he moved ahead.

While he was midway, a loud roar stopped him in his tracks, the roar caused a change in air pressure forcing him to stay put.

[Anonimus_Assassin: Well, the boss seems ready.]

[Raisena_Forge: Would any one like to guess, how much time it would take for him to win against the boss? My guess, +15 minutes.]

[Ellise: His first fight against the elite monster was few minutes long, so I guess at least 10 minutes if not more.]

[Fiery_Redina: +10 minutes]

[Daoist_kun: +15 minutes]

[Red Falcon: I have a feeling we will be witnessing something else. Less than 5 minutes.]

[Storm_Knight: I second that]

[Ramon_Night: Looking at this human’s growth, around 10 minutes should be enough]

As chat deliberated over time required for Reyansh to kill the boss, he neared the location of the boss. The closer he got, he could feel his skin burning just from the heat.

’I get it now, why the hunters outside were talking about me being a corpses. If I had been a normal hunter, that certainly would have been the case,’ He finally understood, feeling the scorching heat of over his skin.

A few seconds later, he finally entered a large plain area, only that plain was filled with a lava pond with someone standing in middle of it.

A towering entity, at least 12 ft. long, standing leisurely in the lava pool which appeared more like a patch from Sun’s surface.

Just as Reyansh entered plain of the boss, a surge of lava moved towards him like the environment itself was repelling his presence.

He put all his strength in his legs as he jumped into air. Seeing no proper land due lava surge, he threw his dagger with precision, making a standing point for himself.

He landed on the dagger’s handle as lava flew beneath his feet as he balanced himself of the handle while his Katana pointed to the boss.

[Daoist_kun: Oh damn, one less weapon just as he entered.]

[Raisena_Forge: I am more worried about the lava below.]

[Mr_Blue_Volcano: It’s the perfect time to check, ’Does lava burn or melt?’]

Reyansh steadied himself as his eyes landed on the boss, its entire body seemed to be made of lava but the lava was obeying him rather than flowing involuntarily.

As Reyansh observed the body of the boss, three glowing spots presented themselves on the its body. Two glowing spots on each shoulder while the largest glowing spot was at his neck.

’So, three weak point, huh,’ as Reyansh planned for most efficient take down, he suddenly felt his eyes blurring as the pain intensified.

The next moment, a panel appeared for first time, since he started using True Sight, it read:

[If the weak point at the neck is destroyed first, the boss, Ignivar will be rendered motionless.]

As he read the panel, the pain subsided slowly but he was unable to view the glowing spots anymore.

’So this is the current limit of my body,’ he remarked.

While his movement were limited by lava flowing all around, as he contemplating his next move, the boss roared again.

However, this time the effects was intense as threatened the delicate balance he had maintained on the dagger’s handle.

He shrunk down and he closed his hands and reduced his body area as to minimize the effect from roar. At the same moment, an idea bloomed in his mind.

[Storm_Knight: Nice]

[Daoist_kun: Hang in there]

[Ellise: Splendid balance]

[Anonimus_Assassin: Defence is okay, but how would he attack? He hadn’t shown any ranged attack.]

[Fiery_Redina: Maybe he can use the skill he used last time.]

As chat discussed his retaliation, he immediately thought of using Perk 4, a viewer list appeared in front of him but he had already the best candidate in mind and had a request from Sandra too.

[Viewer: The Stellar Emperor]

[Skills available for copy: Stellar Breath (Legendary|7☆), Emperor’s Aura (Epic|6☆), Dragon King’s Eye (Legendary|7☆), Stellar Claw (Epic|6☆)....]

Watching the skill list, the lowest rank skill he could find was Stellar Claw, rest were either legendary or higher rank. This alone gave him a glimpse of the power of Stellar Emperor.

’I am sure this just a basic layer,’ he internally remarked.

He looked at his Katana as he decided his pattern of attack.

However, before he could execute his thought, his eyes caught a fist of Boss aimed at him.

He jumped in air again as the fist neared him, he used the katana not to deflect but just parry the momentum of the fist.

He barely saved himself from being bludgeoned under boss’s fist, he also noticed a small crack in his Katana. He landed on the dagger’s handle again, a notification appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations! Due to parrying a force of greater strength than yours, you have create a Common rank|4☆ skill, Parry.]

He ignored the notification for now, as he smiled slightly as his sweat evaporated.

"As we have find out the lava burns mostly. How about we move to next question, How to one shot a boss?" he addressed the chat again after a while.

[Anonimus_Assassin: WHAT!]

[Ellise: Where is that coming from?]

[Storm_Knight: You don’t need to take unnecessary risk brother.]

[Daoist_kun: Just what goes in that head of yours?]

[Ramon_Night: If you could do that human, I will subscribe your channel immediately.]

[The Blazing Sandra: Are you sure?]

As the chat reacted in their own way, Reyansh copied the skill, Stellar Claw.

[You have copied an Epic rank skill]

[Perk 1 is being applied]×2

[You have gained a Divine rank|6☆ skill, Stellar Oblivion Claw, temporarily.]

As the information about the skill appeared in his brain, he braced himself for the pain. As the pain and mental resistance worked together, Reyansh still felt the weight of a Divine rank skill.

The knowledge he never knew anything about filled his brain, he immediately understood how to use the skill.

[The Stellar Emperor: Now, that moment will truly be worthy of watching.]

Reyansh didn’t respond instead he just smiled as he focused on using the skill through his Katana.

Immediately, he felt like the weight of a star was descending into his sword, his hand started glowing with stellar shine as golden star dust surrounded his sword.

A light shone where Reyansh was standing, so bright that nothing could be seen except white light. However, Reyansh eyes were locked to at his target.

[Storm_Knight: Bro is doing it. He is gonna freaking one shot the boss.]

[Daoist_kun: At this point, I just want to follow him forever.]

[Fiery_Redina: – – – Speechless]

Reyansh used the energy channelling into his body as he stepped forward. However, that step was more like a blink as he appeared in front of the boss monster, who was frozen even with all the heat due to sheer energy radiating of Reyansh.

He swung his sword horizontally, sweeping at all three weak spots of the boss. For a moment, only his sword moved and nothing happened but the next moment, space tore up and the entire upper body of boss disintegrated.

However, the damage didn’t stop there and the half of volcano behind it was also wiped out. There were small space fractures started appearing all over the place.

[Ellise: Damage×100 Bosses]

[Anonimus_Assassin: I am sorry for ever doubting you.]

[Raisena_Forge: Which idiot was saying it will take more than 15 minutes?]

Reyansh feeling the aftereffects of using such a powerful skill, he put his every last bit of energy to move one more step and blink to a rocky surface at distance.

Just he landed, the skill effect ended. The sword disintegrated completely, even the jacket Reyansh bought was tattered.

There were minor injuries over his right arm, side effects of using such high ranked skill. His body looked totally spent, but the spirit in his eyes had never been higher.

Even while his body was at limits, there was no fatigue on his face instead, thrill of a hunt and satisfaction of accomplishment.

[Congratulations! You have shown great courage and strength by slaying an enemy stronger than you in one strike.]

[You have gained a Legendary rank title – One Shot, One Kill.]
