48 First Rotation (2/2)

Meanwhile, the warrior party was barely able to escape from the wave of fire's radius. Once the AOE spell was dissipated, they made their way back towards the wolf. Shesmu, who stood amidst the party, used his Inspect skill on the Boss to check on their progress.

Red Wolf King

HP: 91,256/100,000

They shaved off almost 10% of its HP. Not bad for one rotation of spells. Plus, the mages haven't even gotten in, yet.

Shesmu's thoughts didn't stop him from following after his party and fighting the wolf king alongside them. However, whenever he attacked the Boss, he made sure so as to use only the most minimum amount of Ki needed. That way, he doesn't mess up the wolf's aggro.

After multiple rotations, Hector finally ordered, ”Mages, attack!”

”Finally, thought we will die from old age before we got to.” Sakura looked at her teammates and said, ”Guys, let's show them what we're made of. Rava Meru!”

”Rava Meru!”

Bolts of lightning illuminated the cave. The sparks from the thunderbolts hit the wolf king with full force, stunning it.

Arthur wasn't one to miss an opportunity. The moment the Boss was stunned, he dived right in, followed by his band of warriors. Both the tanks and the melee DPS hacked away at the Boss with all their might, injuring it even further. By this point, only about 40% of its HP was left.

The Boss had had enough. Frustrated, angry, and wrathful at the humans that toyed with it to death, it cried to the heavens in a ghoulish howl.

”Awooooo!”

It jumped right above the frontline, leaving all the tanks flabbergasted and bared its fangs at the priests and the mages.

Shesmu looked at this catastrophic turn of events and was about to charge right in when his eyes glanced at Leo. Unlike everyone else, he wasn't surprised, he wasn't fearful, his face was serious and fierce.

Leo dashed right in front of the Red Wolf King, standing tall in front of it. The latter looked at him before raising its paw high in the sky. Its claws were clad in an armor of fire and with the power of a speed truck struck down at him.

The power of the impact was enough to destroy the white and black floor. Debris flew everywhere and a cloud of dust covered where Leo was supposed to be.

Seconds passed but for the onlookers, it felt like hours. Soon enough, a silhouette became visible from within the dust. Leo didn't move an inch from his place. He stood in front of the wolf king like a lion eyeing its prey. His shield was covered in enormous amounts of Ki, while his legs were reinforced with whatever he had left. Looking at his state, Shesmu knew that Leo has used every ounce of Ki he had in reserve to block that attack.

”Good one, boy. That's the spirit of a fighter!” Hector had a proud smile on his face. He looked at Leo like a father watching his son grow. He then teleported next to him.

”Maggots, what are you waiting for? Come help your brother out!”

”Yes sir!”

Hector's voice commanded respect and authority. The moment he barked out his orders, all of the tanks followed right after him and stood as a wall between the Red Wolf King and the backline.

Now was the final stand.
