175 Foreboding (1/2)

After killing Gasol who was guarding the door, the players composed themselves before entering the cathedral of the Blood Soaked Church.

Everyone felt as though they were walking on eggshells as they entered the cathedral.

Unlike the first two bosses that would only appear after the players had killed their minions, Fallen Priest David would spawn right at the start with his minions.

There wasn't anything different about the cathedral, other than the fact that they already irritating Blood Sucking Bats would become even stronger and it would be even harder to breach the defenses of the Gargoyles.

After evading David's line of sight, the two Archer's began to lure his minions towards the party.

The Blood Sucking Bats did not have much health and their defenses were weak, the only thing difficult to deal with was their skill, [Hemophile]. But with a skilled Magician like Ming Du and two elite Archers, these bats could hardly get near to them before they were shot down.

The Gargoyles on the other hand were much harder to deal with.

The Gargoyles not only had strong defenses, but it had alot of health as well. It's stone skin made it completetly impervious to physical damage. It was only after they had expended a significant amount of effort did the party finally manage to kill the whole bunch of them. Wang Yu even managed to collect five 'Feather of Evil' from them.

The only thing left to kill in the hall was Fallen Priest David.

Truth be told, most players didn't even place this boss in their eyes. Not only was he a humanoid boss, he was even a frail old Magician. Other than his ability to revive things, he didn't really pose much of a threat.

It was a common consensus amongst all the players that had challenged the Blood Soaked Church dungeon that David was the weakest boss, even weaker than the guard dog outside...

”Ivory Emperor, attack!”

Before Fearless had even finished giving his instructions, Ivory Emperor had already taken a step forward and shot an arrow straight at David's forehead. David turned around, positively livid.

HP: 300000

MP: 300000

Skills: [Summon], [Umbra Shroud], [Origin of Darkness], [Fog of Darkness], [Rebirth]

Everyone immediately got into their battle formation when they saw that David had turned around. He was an Elite boss after all, thus it was only wise for them to have the weaker players hiding in the back lines.

However, David did not charge into their ranks like they expected. Instead, he raised his staff, summoning ten ghosts to defend him as he flung fireballs at the players.

The David could summon ghosts in a eight metre radius around him and these ghosts had an attack range of five metres. David could attack the players without even moving from his original location.

Even after fighting David so many times, this was the first time any of these players had seen him use such a strategy.

They immediately switched up their formation, charging straight towards David.

The ghosts created from [Summon] could hardly compare to the monsters in this dungeon with hundreds of thousands of health. They quickly fell under the combined attack of twenty players.

”This is bad!” Someone suddenly shouted: ”This boss can camouflage itself! Everyone, cover each other's back! Don't let it surprise you!”

Most bosses in > that had the ability to camouflage itself would gain 50% additional damage from attack players from the back. An attack level 40 boss was already something that these players would not be able to survive from, if they had really be struck from the back, even the tanks were unlikely to survive.
