Versatile: Alternate World

"Hammer time?"

"Ahem, use this," I pick up the little hammer on the side.

"You just said whack-a-mole right? I think I can do that," Dolly took the hammer from my hands and held it tight.

I observed the boss for any changes on the mana and it is already at 50. Once it reaches 100, it will release the beam again.

"Hit the ores immediately before that boss on the distance attacks again!"

"Okay!"

Dolly raises the hammer and brings it down to the ore with full force.

BANG!

-Dolly dealt 10,000 damage.

Seeing her damage output, Dolly immediately repeated her actions.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Every time she brings down the hammer to the ores, different kinds of raw ore materials drops out of the ore veins. Since she didn't care about the ores at all, I am the one picking it up. The moment I saw the mana of the boss reach 100, I immediately pull down Dolly to the ground.

"What?!"

"The boss will release the laserbeam once again, if you don't want your health to diminish, then get down!"

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

The laser beam lasted for 10 seconds before it disappeared once again. The moment it stopped, I took the hammer from Dolly's hands.

"Hey! That's my hammer!"

"Let me try, its not your hammer."

As soon as the hammer is now in my hands, I started hammering down the ore veins without blinking.

BANG BANG BANG BANG!

The benefits of a person who has done this for two years of his life already know how good it will be to smash those ores to deal damage.

-you dealt 10,000 damage

-you dealt 10,000 damage

-you dealt 10,000 damage

The boss started screaming after the continuous damage and the moment the mana of the boss started to reach back the 100 number, the boss screamed and this time around, two beams of lasers appeared.

"Dodge it!"

It was a quick laser beam that if you are just one second late, could lead to a fatal mistake.

"Is there any other way to defeat it? The HP bar of the boss is labeled question mark. How can we defeat it and drain its HP?"

"We don't need to worry too much. It will eventually go down."

As the enemy stopped attacking, I started hammering once more without hesitation. The one I am more focused on is the number of ores and ingots dropping since the vein drops both ingots and ores. Then, the moment of truth finally came, as soon as I hit it with another bang in the hammer, the boss is already invulnerable.

[The Whack-an-Ore has entered the invulnerable state. Attack damage will be reduced to zero]

The moment it will go invulnerable is also the time to rush the hammering. Once it enters the invulnerable state, it only lasts for a few moments before the boss will escape and the mini-game will end. So if you wanted to get the ores during the last minute, then you need to hasten your hammering to the ores.

BANG BANG BANG BANG

Although I am doing hasty hammer strikes on the ore veins, I am precisely hitting them with all my might. The ores are a waste if it ended up gone after losing the chance to do a last-minute hammer strike.

[The Whack-an-Ore is now losing its edge. It is now escaping]

With the last strike on the ore, the mini-boss also disappeared after breaking down into white light.

[The Whack-an-Ore has escaped]

"Huh!? It escaped!" Dolly panicked seeing the mini-boss disappear right before her eyes.

All of the ores that I have been hitting with the hammer also disappeared one by one, leaving only the drops that I have yet to pick up.

"No! The boss has escaped!" Dolly was about to weep.

"Hush, that mini-boss cannot be killed. It was also just a mini-boss which means you don't need to weep about it. The real boss is not yet killed. Also, it's not a loss, look over there, a treasure box-"

Dolly did not even let me finish the sentence and she was already in front of the treasure box. Without even bothering to ask me, she opened it and an item appeared before her. I have no idea what she got but based on her expression, it must be a good item.

"Wow! This is one of the best items I got so far!" Dolly rejoiced as she took the item she got from the treasure chest to her inventory.

"Can I see it?"

"Sure!" Dolly is in a good mood and immediately shows the item she got. It was the staff used for Magician classes.

Info: This weapon was used as a weapon to punish criminals in the past. It has been bathed in the blood causing it to gain enough power to be deemed as a terrifying weapon.

Note: If you were a Masochist, you will love this weapon's power to inflict pain~

Although the stats except the INT stat are mediocre, the skills it contains are not to be underestimated especially the [Palm of Punishment] skill. A mastery skill is one of those skills that is currently exclusive to the weapon itself but can be learned and used by the user even if the weapon is no longer equipped, though that only applies if you have reached it on 100% mastery. Although it is a shame the passive skill it has cannot be extracted, it is also a good one to have.

"That was a good weapon, good job finding it," I nodded at her and closed the panel.

"I also got this key on the treasure box too," Dolly said and displayed the key's details.

[Underground Key of Hidden Catacomb]

Type: Key

Info: A key that can open to the Hidden Area of the Dungeon, Underground Hidden Catacomb]

I frowned when I saw the key she mentioned. This is the first time I have heard of this item. Even in the past timeline, this did not appear at all. Is it a new item perhaps?
