Chapter 25: The First Dungeon Boss! (1/2)

”It will be my first boss!” Michu's anticipation rose within him.

The words he spoke weren't said during the dungeon monster cleaning, but on his way toward the boss.

As per Venomous' deal, the tanks lined up near the boss' entrance and protected themselves against the monsters whose numbers were greatly lowered. Though the teamwork of Michu and other players did wonders, the amount was so high because of Red Stigma.

Yumi didn't want to waste resources because of that bastard, so she came up with the plan.

First, she told everyone to use all their mana to kill as many monsters as possible. In the meantime, she did clear a path toward the boss alone.

This path was narrow and not many monsters could slip their way, so by putting a line of tanks here, Venomous saved a lot of time and consumable items for the boss.

The tanks had been shifting their positions in an orderly manner and each also could naturally regenerate their stamina and health.

Far away from that line, Michu and others already could see the doors leading to the boss. Upon defeating him, the dungeon would be cleared and everyone could leave through his grave.

Thus, the tanks had their way outside and Michu and his party would get the most out of the boss.

Why? Because Venomous had used her new status as the leader to set up the party's settings. The experience and loot became based on the contribution to damage and CC. Knowing that Michu would be the one to deal the most damage, Yumi had been all smiles as she stepped forward.

”Hehe, your smile is scary, you know?” Michu teased, thinking that Yumi was trying to smile because of him. Of course, she smiled because of him, but the reason greatly differed.

She turned her green eyes at him and replied, ”Isn't that great?”

”Why would that be so great?” Michu asked back, but all he got was just a little deeper smile and some white streaks slapping his face as Yumi no longer debated with him. As those fell, Michu shrugged and followed his friend.

Sandra used the chance to explain about the dungeon boss, ”The bosses have stages to make things interesting.”

Lazy Bum chimed in, ”Interesting? They are just annoying pricks.”

She threw an elbow strike at him, then continued, ”The first stage is the usual boss. He has from three to five abilities and we will learn those by engaging in confrontation. The second stage begins when he loses half of his HP. In our first dungeon raid, the boss got passive skills that increased his toughness and defense.” Lazy Bum's complaining was now understandable!

Michu giggled, ”So the third stage makes the monster enraged!”

”Yes!” Sandra laughed as well, ”It enters the frenzy state and usually chases after the targets who are the most annoying or deal the most damage. In its frenzy, the monster's abilities get an additional effect. In our first run, the boss' steps shook the ground with each spell and it even threatened the tanks, so it was hard to aim.”

The valuable information entered the monke's brain!

He knew how important it was to gather the information already and Sandra who smoothly passed it to him became an angel in his eyes, ”Thank you! I will take care of the boss!” Sending a thumbs up, Michu promised.

Sandra covered her lips, raised thumbs too, and followed the majority. As the mage, she had to say goodbye to Michu as he was one of the close combat classes.
