”Haein and General Han, I leave the front lines to you,” Song Myungsoo ordered.
”Got it!”
”Understood.”
”As you all know, we've entered the sixteen-man dungeon over thirty times now, so we should all know what to expect. I'll take command when things change, but I leave the rest to your judgment.”
”Yes, sir!”
”Our goal is to reach the boss room faster than before! That's all we need to do. Let's go!” At Song Myungsoo's orders, Haein and Han Kyungchul spearheaded the party at a fast pace.
I studied the sixteen-man dungeon beforehand.
-In the end, it's not much different from the one-man dungeon.-
The dungeon was just at a bigger scale; the monsters and traps were all the same. All we needed to do was charge forward.
”I'll block the attack!”
”Bellowing Fire Pillar!”
”Razor Wind!”
”Kwek!”
The party fought like a well-oiled machine. It had been a while, but I did fight in parties in the past, as well. I'd had no choice, as a Fire Mage, and I could tell that they were all very experienced veterans.
-As expected of the Sunbin Guild.-
They were fighting so well that I didn't feel the need to step in yet.
”We put more mages in this party than fighters since you're here, Jiwon. We are benefiting from the increased burst damage from magic attacks.”
”Yes, I agree.”
We were making quick work of the monsters at first, but it wasn't long until we started to slow down. There were plenty of stronger monsters here to balance with the sixteen-man party. That was my cue.
While my main role was to deal with the boss, I also didn't want to stand off to the side while everyone else was giving their all. I was itching to have a go, as well.
”Mana Conversion – Fire.”
==[Mana Conversion – Fire Level 2 has been activated.]==
I decided to save Warrior's Brave Spirit for the Myth Guild as its cooldown was too long. The Sunbin Guild wouldn't need the extra boost.
I pulled out my spear and sprinted past Haein and Han Kyungchul, who were busy holding off an Enchanted Stone Golem. Once I was behind the Golem, I flipped around and stabbed it in the abdomen.
My spear didn't pierce through its rocky armor, but it did manage to crack it in places. The force of the blow caused the Golem to stumble backwards where it crashed into the other Golems.
”Focus support on Jiwon.”
”Yes, sir! Fatal Blows!”
”Earth Armor, Brilliant Blessing, Roar of Rage.”
I ignored the messages telling me that buffs had been placed and shifted my attention to the other monsters. At that moment, Haein and General Han came up next to me.
”I'll block all of their attacks. Attack them and herd them into a corner.”
”We leave it to you, Jiwon.”
”Got it.”
I was much stronger than either of them, but I didn't turn down their help. I could also tell what Haein was planning.
I left one side of the horde to Haein and General Han, and started attacking from the other. Soon, we managed to gather them all together as we pushed them back.
”Exploding Flame Shot!”
”Chain Lightning!”
”Multi Stone Shot!”
Once they were all gathered, the mages fired off AoE spells. The splash damage from the spells and my constant pummeling of attacks soon felled all of the golems.
”Wow! To think Enchanted Stone Golems could be herded and destroyed like that…”
”How high is his STR?”
”His ATT speed is crazy fast, too. Did you see how all of the Golems were cracked from the force of his blows?”
In less than eight minutes, we had cleared the entire area of Golems.
”Damn…that was record speed. It always took us more than fifteen minutes to clear this area and the R&R team was sure that it was impossible to do it even faster…”
”To think it only took a single addition to the party…”
I could hear the Sunbin Guild members talk to each other in amazement, but it was getting a little too burdensome.
”Ahem! Vice-master Song, we're done here so… should we get going?” I asked Song Myungsoo who was also standing there in bewilderment.
”Ah! Uh… move out!” He quickly snapped to and gave the order.
We continued to forge ahead. The other monsters didn't have high DEF like the Golems, but we fought them using the same positions and methods. I attacked from the front while Haein and General Han guarded from the sides.
Each time the high-leveled monsters fell after a few of my attacks, I noticed the others grow ever more confident and at ease. The monsters that had given them so much trouble the past couple of weeks were being easily toppled now.
We continued to charge forward, quickly destroying the traps that got in our way.
==[Boss Room]==
”It took us 2 hours and 11 minutes!”
”The fastest we ever got here still took us three hours…”
”It's because we got rid of the monsters faster than before.”
”Lee Jiwon saved us a lot of time by destroying that boulder quickly, as well.”
”We're not done yet! Stay focused until the end!”
”Yes sir!” The gossiping party members quickly snapped to attention at Song Myungsoo's order.
