Alden had always been meticulous in his approach to the Ice Serpent, timing his strikes with the precision of a master clockmaker. He knew the exact moment to engage, waiting patiently for the thirty-minute respawn mark before launching his attack. It was a strategy that had served him well, allowing him to maximize his health points (HP) while minimizing risk.

This time, however, he made a bold decision—he opted not to rely on his Book of Life and Death, which usually provided a buffer against damage in exchange for increased attack frequency. Instead, he focused solely on his raw damage output, which still clocked in at an impressive 120,000 per second.

The Ice Serpent, a formidable foe even in its weakened state, had its own tricks up its icy sleeve. It was capable of healing itself for 100,000 HP every second while nestled in the snow. Yet, Alden was undeterred; he was still managing to chip away at its defenses, inflicting over 20,000 HP damage with each calculated strike.

If he did the math, that amounted to approximately 1.2 million damage every minute, and within the span of half an hour, he could potentially deal more than 36 million damage. However, he knew that to maintain the balance of the fight, he would have to remove the Goddess of Life’s Tear. This choice reduced his damage by 20%, but it was a necessary sacrifice to ensure the battle remained fair.

With a keen sense of timing, he executed a weak-point attack that landed a critical hit just as the serpent respawned. His precision was uncanny, allowing him to synchronize his kills seamlessly with the creature’s respawn cycle. At his current attack speed, he was stacking an impressive 9 HP per second. This translated to 540 per minute and a whopping 16,200 HP for every Frost Serpent he defeated.

As he continued his relentless assault, he noticed that his damage output was increasing. Even when he faced the eighth and ninth Ice Serpents, he was still racking up around 15,500 HP from each kill. After taking down the first nine, he observed a change in the battlefield dynamics—the serpents began to respawn in pairs, a challenge that required him to adapt quickly.

Alden contemplated using his Double Arrow Shot technique, but the thought of straining his mental faculties for a slight advantage didn’t appeal to him. He needed to conserve his mental energy for the tougher battles that lay ahead. So, he slipped the Goddess of Life’s Tear back on, committing fully to his usual damage rotation. He even pulled out the Book of Life and Death once more, knowing it would allow him to finish off a serpent in about 15 minutes.

His Twisted Arrow Technique, while powerful, consumed a significant amount of mind power, so he opted for a more relaxed approach, allowing himself to recover between encounters. Earlier, with a base damage exceeding 120,000, he had managed to stack his damage output up to 142,000 after nine kills. With the Goddess of Life’s Tear and Finley’s passive buff, his HP boost had surged to around 185,000. Even accounting for the god aura that halved his stats, he was still operating at a formidable 92,000.

This additional HP translated into a staggering 2,700+ true damage per basic attack, or over 8,000 true damage per second. With the Book of Life and Death’s 1% max HP bonus, his damage output now hovered near 152,000.

Going all-out, even without utilizing knock-ups, Alden found he could burn through a Frost Serpent’s regeneration, dealing over 52,000 net damage per second—an impressive 3.1 million damage per minute. He could eliminate one in under ten minutes, but as was his habit, he chose to focus on maximizing his HP stacking.

He paced himself, taking fifteen minutes for the first serpent and another fifteen for the second, all in the name of HP gain. Even while holding back, each pair of kills contributed approximately 15,000 HP to his total. With nine cycles completed, he had accumulated over 130,000 extra HP.

As he approached the final Frost Serpent, Alden hesitated, weighing his options carefully. He removed the Goddess of Life’s Tear and set aside the Book of Life and Death, which reduced his basic attack damage to about 37,000 and his overall damage to just over 110,000. Yet, even with these adjustments, he was still cutting into the serpent’s regeneration by roughly 10,000 per second.
