My Reconstruction Talent is too OP!!!
Chapter 22: Mini-Boss

Chapter 22: Mini-Boss

The butterflies flew toward them in a swarm.

Each one was about half a meter wide.

Their black wings released fine clouds of dark powder as they approached.

Marina immediately stepped back.

"Master, be careful."

"That powder contains a weak poison."

"It won’t kill you, but it can slow your movements."

Kaiser nodded.

"I know."

He calmly raised his hand.

"Light Bullet."

More than thirty glowing bullets formed around him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The bullets shot forward at incredible speed.

Each one accurately pierced through a butterfly.

The monsters didn’t even have a chance to get close.

One after another, they fell from the sky.

The system notifications appeared continuously.

[Black Bone Butterfly defeated.]

[You gained 50 EXP.]

[Black Bone Butterfly defeated.]

[You gained 50 EXP.]

[Black Bone Butterfly defeated.]

[You gained 50 EXP.]

Within less than a minute, every butterfly in the area had been wiped out.

Kaiser walked forward and collected the drops.

This time, he received a few Black Butterfly Wings, Monster Cores, and a Common-grade skill book.

He glanced at the cover.

Poison Powder.

He quickly checked its requirements.

"Poison Affinity."

He shook his head.

"I can’t learn it."

Without hesitation, he handed the skill book to Marina.

"You can keep it."

Marina accepted it respectfully.

"Thank you, Master."

Kaiser continued walking deeper into the forest.

As they advanced, the butterflies became larger and stronger.

Some were nearly a meter across, while others had crimson markings on their wings.

Unlike the ordinary ones, these butterflies coordinated their attacks.

Half of them charged directly at Kaiser while the others remained behind, releasing poisonous scales into the air.

Kaiser calmly cast another spell.

"Light of Purification."

A wave of golden light spread outward.

The poisonous powder disappeared instantly.

The butterflies shrieked as the holy light washed over them.

Before they could recover, dozens of Light Bullets flew through the air.

Every butterfly was shot down within seconds.

Marina couldn’t help but smile.

"Light magic is the perfect counter against darkness monsters."

Kaiser nodded.

"It makes farming here much easier."

They continued moving through the forest, eliminating every butterfly they encountered.

Nearly half an hour later, the surroundings became strangely quiet.

Not a single ordinary monster could be seen anymore.

The only sound was the faint fluttering of wings somewhere deeper within the forest.

Marina stopped walking.

"We’re almost there."

"The miniboss should be just ahead."

Kaiser looked into the distance.

At the center of a clearing stood an enormous dead tree.

Hanging from one of its thick branches was a giant black cocoon nearly five meters tall.

Dark mist slowly seeped from countless tiny holes across its surface.

The entire clearing was covered in dead grass.

Not even weeds grew within a hundred meters of the tree.

Kaiser immediately understood why.

The Soul-Sucking Butterfly had claimed the entire area as its territory.

Kaiser and Marina slowly stepped into the clearing.

The giant cocoon remained completely still.

However, the moment they crossed into the clearing, the cocoon began to tremble.

Crack.

A small crack appeared on its surface.

Another crack quickly followed.

Within seconds, the entire cocoon was covered in cracks.

Boom!

The cocoon burst apart.

A massive butterfly slowly emerged.

Its wings stretched over six meters wide.

They were as black as night, with white bone-like veins running across them, giving the impression that a skeleton had been carved into each wing.

Its body was covered in dark purple scales, and its crimson compound eyes were fixed directly on Kaiser.

Every flap of its wings released thick black mist into the surroundings.

Kaiser immediately activated his appraisal skill.

A status window appeared before him.

"As expected of a boss monster," Kaiser muttered.

Without hesitation, he summoned both of his pets.

A giant figure appeared beside him.

It was no longer the Giant Earth Slime.

After evolving the Blood Sorcerer into a Rare-rank monster, Kaiser had also used Reconstruction on his other pet.

The Giant Earth Slime had successfully evolved into a Rare-rank Steel Slime.

Its enormous body was now covered in metallic gray armor-like plates that shone with a cold steel luster. Every movement of its massive body produced a heavy metallic sound.

The Blood Warlock also appeared beside him, its crimson flames burning brightly inside its eye sockets.

Kaiser immediately began issuing commands.

"Giant, use Blessing of Steel on everyone."

"Blood Warlock, focus all your attacks on the Soul-Sucking Butterfly."

"Marina, use your Atomizer Talent to turn the holy water into a mist and attack it with that."

"Yes, Master."

The three responded at once.

The Steel Slime activated its support skill.

A metallic silver light spread from its body and covered Kaiser, Marina, and the Blood Warlock.

Their defenses immediately increased.

At the same time, the Blood Warlock raised its crimson staff.

Several Blood Spears condensed in the air before shooting toward the butterfly.

Marina took out a bottle of holy water from her storage ring.

Using her A-Rank Talent: Atomizer, she transformed the liquid into a fine golden mist and directed it toward the miniboss.

The moment the holy water touched the black fog surrounding the butterfly, white smoke rose into the air.

The darkness rapidly weakened wherever the holy mist spread.

Meanwhile, Kaiser remained at the back of the battlefield.

He continuously fired his strongest attack.

"Light Bullet."

Unlike before, Kaiser wasn’t using only Light Bullet.

He continuously switched between three different elemental variations of the same spell.

Light Bullet.

Life Bullet.

Fortune Bullet.

Each version produced a completely different effect.

Light Bullet was his primary source of damage. Against Darkness-attributed monsters like the Soul-Sucking Butterfly, it dealt devastating damage.

Whenever the butterfly’s Health dropped, Kaiser immediately followed with Life Bullet.

Normally, the spell was meant for healing allies, restoring their Health and curing minor injuries.
