Chapter 160 - Hadbufar - II (2/2)
”No. Not planning to sacrifice my servants.”
”Anyone else?”
”Just stop attacking him and run away for some time,” suggested Tetsujin.
”That seems like the best option,” said Quiet Fire. ”Help clearing the mobs Grenadier,” she asked as she started firing her attacks at the mobs instead. Till now, they had only been attacking the dwarfs lightly only with the intention of scattering them. Half their attacks were aimed to slightly miss the dwarves to make them evade and thus providing themselves more time, since the dwarf had suggested that the don't kill all the possessed dwarves.
With the two mages no longer focusing on the boss and trying to clear the other dwarves that were trying to block them for the boss, they were soon able to get away from the boss. The boss actually started to go back to the platform where Bungar was tied at a very fast pace.
”Shit! He is going back. Attack him again,” shouted Merlin directing the attention of Shadow and the other three in the group to the boss.
”Oh! Damn! I will attract his attention,” said Shadow as he ran away from the other three towards the boss as he was the fastest and used the crossbow to attack the boss. He could always deal damage to the boss from a distance using crossbow, but it was a waste and damage dealt by arrows to a dwarf would be much less than that of a magical attack. So, he let the others use fire balls and other magical attacks to attack till now. He pulled out his crossbow equipping it in one hand and an axe in the other only because he needed to get back his aggro urgently. He wasn't sure what the boss would do to Bungar after he reached the platform and didn't want to risk it. Luckily, the boss responded to the slightest damage and followed after Shadow again.
”Issue partly handled, keep your distance, I will join you,” shouted Shadow as he ran towards the remaining three of the group.
This scenario continued for a some more time and they slowly were reducing the boss's health. In about 30 minutes of this running, they managed to reduce his health to 50%. It was the slowest boss fight that they had in this dungeon.
During this time, even though they tried the best to not kill the other dwarves, about a quarter of them died due to their attacks. The possessed dwarves were attacking them, and they preferred to retaliate than being injured by them leading to these casualties.
After the boss lost 50% of its health, it changed its tactics again. This was what Shadow dreaded the most. The boss started throwing the axes from the start which it was supposed to do at this point. Shadow was afraid that it might use the moves of its berserk state now.
At berserk state, the boss actually tries to throw the other dwarves at the players. Though the boss didn't do that now, it did something new that even Shadow didn't see before. It took out a spear and threw it at Merlin at a very high speed. He didn't even get a chance to completely evade. Luckily, he always had all his three shamans in front of him protecting from the dwarves' attacks. One of the three got impaled by the spear and the shaman immediately died of the attack.
Luckily that was only one attack and it didn't continue after that. It started to throw and recall it's axes like it did before, but it was not focusing on Shadow's group of four. It was after Merlin's group. It was clear that its aggro had reseted.
Merlin was the person most afraid of the boss currently. He had just lost one of his servants as he didn't think that the boss would have such a terrifying skill. The boss attacked his group with axes after that but didn't use a spear again. Soon, Shadow's group got back it's aggro and continued as before, but everyone was on alert against the new skill that the boss showed. Even Balthazar had no way to handle that attack currently apart from trying their best to evade skill when used.
Once, the boss's health reached the 40% mark, the new skill made its appearance again. This time the target was Tang and Spicy. She had blocked the attack with her shield but ended up being knocked back into the cave wall in a stunned and crippled state. It could be clearly seen that her hand was broken. If not for the quick interference of Mob, Merlin and Little White Feet, she would have been definitely killed at the spot.
”High chance that the skill would be used for every loss of 10% of its health,” said Merlin in the team chat. ”If so, only 3 more times. Be careful and stay at full health during these times,” he warned.
