Chapter 443 Scagmags Whale Song, Two Bosses In One Fight? (1/2)
She thought that after the time they spent together in the Chaotic Dogma Realm, and then again with the appearance of the arms of lightning, that she could never be surprised by Izroth. However, she was quickly proven wrong. Could he even be considered a player anymore? Was he secretly a raid boss in disguise?!
Of course, everyone knew that such a notion was ridiculous. But, how else could his absurd power be explained? This was a hardcore raid for crying out loud!
'Who knew this would come in handy?'
What the raid group did not know was that the skill Izroth used did not belong to him. It was a gift from a certain ent.i.ty he encountered in the Sea Palace Graveyard dungeon named Scagmag—the original owner of the skill he just used called Scagmag's Whale Song!
Skill Name: Scagmag's Whale Song
Skill Level: MAXED
Skill Rank: Unknown
Active: Unleashes Scagmag's whale song dealing 25,000 Damage to all enemies within a 100 meters radius. This skill ignores all enemy defenses. Deals quadruple damage to all non-boss sea creatures.
Uses: 2/4
Special Note: This skill can only be used while inside «Sea Palace» areas. Boss monsters damaged by this skill do not grant the user EXP or loot drops.
To be honest, Izroth never thought that he would use the skill after leaving the Sea Palace Graveyard dungeon. After all, even though he knew that other layers of the Sea Palace existed, there was no guarantee at that time that he would discover another location. Therefore, he had pushed the skill Scagmag's Whale Song to the back of his mind—given that it could only be used within Sea Palace areas.
Since Izroth did not require the skill to clear the dungeon, he chose to let it be, and he was glad that he made such a choice. If not, then he may have had to use his Third State: Heavenly Arms to deal with the Bikrosh.
While the Third State: Heavenly Arms appeared all-powerful, it was not without its weaknesses. For one, if Izroth attacked a specific target and that target survived, then the arms of lightning could only target that one individual. It was not possible to control every arm of lightning separately—at least not at the moment.
This would have made it so that he wasted a lot of precious time clearing out the Bikrosh. It was best to be well prepared for any possible scenario—this was even more so when the situation was unknown.
”Focus the remaining Bikrosh and clear them out before they enrage!” Zi Yi snapped everyone out of it and pulled them back into reality. There were still some Bikrosh who survived due to their Bulk hardcore effect. But, they had suffered a severe amount of damage and was left on the doorstep of death.
In the blink of an eye, the raid group finished off the remaining Bikrosh. Not a single sea creature made it to its enraged state!
The amount of experience from killing over 50 elite hardcore raid monsters was not small, and nearly every member of the raid leveled up once in the process.
Izroth, however, had only gained somewhere around 2% towards his experience. After finis.h.i.+ng off the monsters outside of the Sprite Dwelling, his level had risen to 49. But, once he reached level 49, the difficulty of gaining experience had grown by leaps and bounds! Even defeating a hardcore raid boss like Ooudamu only gave Izroth 18% experience. But, this was to be expected seeing as how level 50 was an extremely important milestone for players in RML.
Once the final Bikrosh was eliminated, the water within the colosseum receded, and the eight gates closed.
”Eh? Is it over already? Did we win?” One of the Sleeping Gardenia members questioned.
When the raid group witnessed the receding water and closing gates, their first thought was that they had successfully cleared the colosseum. However, after noticing that a system had not confirmed their victory, they surmised that it was not over just yet.
Just as this thought entered their minds, two new gates appeared on the walls of the colosseum. One gate had a green gemstone above it, and the other gate had a silver gemstone placed over it.
'It looks like they're finally making their appearance... Though this raid sure knows how to be ruthless.'
From the gate with the green gemstone above it came a handsome male humanoid figure wearing loose-fitting clothes with webbed feet, brilliant green scales that ran along both sides of their body, sharp green eyes, and short turquoise hair. What stood out the most about this male was that his right arm was covered in a sizeable gauntlet-type armor, and growing out of his right shoulder was a beautiful green wing that spanned two meters.
As for the gate with the silver gemstone placed over it, a gorgeous female figure with elegant clothing made her appearance. She had long golden colored hair that fell to the ankles, eyes the color of honey, and yellow scales that traveled along both sides of her body. There was a silver wing growing out of her left shoulder that was the same size as the male figure's wing. She also wore a mult.i.tude of jewelry that was embedded with citrine gemstones. Though what stood out about her was that beneath her feet were five disks stacked upon one another with just a few centimeters of s.p.a.ce in between them. Each disk approximately 20-25cm in size and incredibly thin. Every step the female figure stood, her feet never touched the ground, and the disks stayed the same distance apart. The male seafolk was named Heski and the female seafolk Mona.
