Chapter 33: Mini Boss (1)
They gathered just a few meters away from the dungeon. As they walked towards the dungeon, Ryth began explaining about their formation.
For the formation, Llyod will be at the front of the team with Woodgard, Ryth and Azalea at the back behind him. Lady Elsa will be in the middle of the formation while the archers will be at the back, together with Hill.
There were no monsters outside the dungeon, so it was safe for them to walk near the entrance.
Once they have arrived at the dungeon entrance, Ryth told the others to stop. He walked towards the entrance and touched the dungeon wall.
"Daedalus, scan it!"
"Roger!"
"Shuu!" Blue light gushed out from the [Eye of Daedalus] as it began to scan the surroundings with red dots starting to appear on Ryth's mini map.
"How does that blue light skill works?" Azalea asked in confusion as she tilted her head.
"It's a scan skill, but its probably a special skill... because I couldn't sense any wind magic in that blue light mana. It's like... he's using the mana, no, a pure blue mana itself to scan it." Lady Elsa said while touching her lower lip with her finger.
"Ohh, this?" Ryth said, as he overheard their conversation.
Ryth paused for a moment and continued, "It's indeed a special skill. It scanned through literally almost everything to look for enemies. With this, I know every enemy's positions. And they themselves can't see the blue light. Only people in the same party with me can see it."
"Ohh, I see..." Azalea nodded her head as well as Lady Elsa and the others.
"Lady Elsa, I believe you have the detection magic type as well, so I want you to be in charge of the others who are at the back of our formation. Just give out commands to them while I will be in charge of our frontlines."
"But, I can use detection skill too," Azalea offered.
"No, it's okay. I want you to focus on dealing damage."
After giving it some thought, Azalea nodded her head. "Hmmm… Alright."
Since Azalea know wind magic, it's obvious that she has a detection skill, but being a mage was only her second job. So, comparing with Lady Elsa's detection skill and [Eye of Daedalus] scan skill, it is a low level skill. And she should not waste her MP for that.
"Okay, you can count on me," replied Lady Elsa.
Ryth turned to the others and said, "Alright. Like what we did before at the last raid. Woodgard and the berserk-healers will do the same thing!"
He then pretends to take out his short swords from his bag and placed it on his waist.
"Yes, Mr. Myrad!"
They entered the dungeon cautionly. Ryth and Lady Elsa immediately told everyone precisely where the monsters are. Although Lady Elsa could sense them, but she was not aware of a path that led to the stairs, so Ryth led the team to take the shortest route.
They encountered many monsters that were below level 30 on their way, in the first floor. They managed to beat all of them in no time and advanced further to the second floor.
They had just arrived at the second floor, when Ryth and Lady Elsa suddenly told everyone to stop. "Wait! There is something weird ahead!" Ryth said slowly.
"Its presence is bigger than any of the monsters in this floor! It gave out such an evil aura!" Lady Elsa added.
Ryth take a look at his mini map and saw that there is a much bigger red dot than the other ones.
"A mini boss!" exclaimed Ryth in surprise. He did not expect to encounter one so quickly.
Ryth told the others to not follow him. He then walked ahead, but then someone tugged on his clothing. "I'm going with you." A beautiful voice rang out from behind.
Ryth turned to find Azalea tugging on his clothing.
"I'm just checking out to see what it is first. There's no need for you to follow me," Ryth waved his hand.
Azalea was silent for a moment before she nodded, releasing her grip on him.
Once she had left, Ryth continued on to the right path. After he was on the corner of the corridor, he took a peek at the huge room in front of him. That's where the abnormality got spotted on his mini map.
"Wow, a minotaur?" Ryth thought to himself, he touched his chin with his index finger and thumb, then continued, "Daedalus, change to mana tracer mode!"
"Got it!"
The [Eye of Daedalus] turned red and Ryth could see a black magic flow gushed out from the centaur.
---------
Millman
(Evil Mini boss)
White Minotaur
Level 35
Berserker
HP : 700.000
---------
The minotaur was 3 meters tall, with big horns on its head. Unlike the minotaur you found in mangas or games, its skin was pale white. It has a big Axe on its back.
"Mini boss with miasma affecting it... this is going to be troublesome. It even has high STR points," he then tapped his finger on his chin as he tried to think of a plan. "Seems like I need to defeat the other monsters here first," he thought.
There are other 15 monsters below level 30 in the same room. It's a bull-like creature.
"We have Llyod to tank and he's no way inferior to it, no worries. " Daedalus said.
"Yeah." Ryth nodded and walked away slowly and quietly as he headed back to where the others were.
When Ryth got back, Azalea looked up and asked, "What is it?"
"It's a mini boss. A white minotaur with black miasma affecting it. It will be a really tough battle for us. But with Lady Elsa here, our job will be much easier," Ryth said with in assuring tone.
He then continued, "But we need to defeat the other monsters first before dealing with the minotaur. They are of a bull type of monsters. Their level is below 30 and there are 15 of them."
"Noted," Woodgard and Lady Elsa said.
Lady Elsa then said, "I, Mr. Hill, berserk-healers and the archers will be responsible for the other monsters. We can take care of them. Mr. Myrad and the others should be able to keep the boss busy."
Ryth nodded. "Alright then. Everyone, lets go!"
They walked silently so that the monsters couldn't discover them as they walked on the alley. Once they have arrived at the corner of the alley, Ryth immediately shouted, "Hill, aim for the minotaur first, and then help the archers! The rest of the archers, berserk-healers and Lady Elsa, attack the other monsters!"
"WUSH, WUSH!" Rain of arrows landed on the monsters as the screams resounded throughout the big room.
"RAAAWR!"
"RAAARGH!"
The minotaur turned its head but then an arrow pierced its right eye.
-15023
"RAAAARGH! YOU DARE TO ATTACK ME!" shouted the minotaur, Millman. Hill's {Skull piercer} blind Millman's right eye.
"Daedalus, turned on the team voice chat function!"
"Roger!" Daedalus said, then he turned the [Eye of Daedalus] to the mana tracer mode.
Llyod, Ryth and Azalea both ran towards the minotaur. Llyod shouted, taunting the minotaur. The 'Taunted' box appeared above the minotaur's and the other monsters nearby heads. But Hill and the archers took that chance to attack the other monsters.
Ryth unsheathed [Blue Heart] and bit it. He also unsheathed the other two swords on his right and left waist and he lifted them at the same time, glowing in bright light.
Azalea lifted her [Blue Soul] as well as she ran forward, her sword glowed with blue light.
{Stream of Light}!
{Rain Dance}!
"SLASH, SLASH!"
-2102
-1723
-1433
"RAAARGH!" Millman had no chance to block because it was taunted by Llyod's skill. It could only attack Llyod in this period of time.
Woodgard suddenly appeared behind the Minotaur. He used {Stealth} and then {Backstab}.
-16042
Ryth and Azalea also keep attacking as they continued to use their other skills.
{Stab}!
{Cut}!
{Whirlwind}!
"RAAARWGH! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" the minotaur's eyes turned red, as it gushed out black mana from its body.
'Fear'
'Fear'
The text box appeared above Ryth's and the others head. Azalea and Ryth were only stunned for 3 seconds while the others were stunned for 5 seconds. The minotaur slashed its big axe towards Llyod, but just as it was about to land on Llyod's right shoulder, Lady Elsa shouted, "{Relieve}!"
It was an area purification type skill where it helps to dispell all abnormalities of teammates near the caster.
"Nice!" Ryth smiled.
He expected that Lady Elsa must has a high resistance against debuff skill. "Azalea, fallback first! Wait my command!"
"Understood!" Azalea fallback as Ryth's swords glowed with blue lights.
{Starry Night}!
"SLASH, SLASH!"
"RAARRGH!"
Ryth ran towards the other side of the minotaur and onto the nearby wall. He jumped from the wall and activated another skill.
{Half Moon}!
"BOOM!"
The minotaur was very angry, the effect of Llyod's taunting skill had disappeared as it turned towards Ryth as it swung its big axe.
{Heavy Swing}!
With Ryth's AGI points, he spun to the right, dodged the attack by a hair, and then jumped again, "{Hedgehog}!"
"RAARGH!" its left shoulder was bleeding. It swung its big axe again towards Ryth. However, Ryth had already activated his {Fast Step}, falling back a bit to where the axe couldn't reach him. He then lifted [Ryuujin's Will]. The white katana let out sparks of lightning and suddenly, Ryth disappeared.
{Lightning Piercer}!
"SLASH!"
-4023
"GAAAARGH!"
After that, Ryth quickly moved to where Azalea is and shouted, "Azalea, now!"
Azalea knew what Ryth meant as she hurriedly cast her skills.
{Wind Piercer}!
{Wind Spear}!
{Wind Gust}!
"BOOM!"
The attacks knocked back the minotaur a few steps. But at that moment, Lady Elsa and the others who were responsible for the other monsters were already done with them. They soon joined the attack with the minotaur as well, while the berserk-healers casted their healing magic to Llyod.
"WUSH, WUSH!" rain of arrows landed on its body while Hill used all of his skills.
-10324
-2132
-1231
Lady Elsa lifted her scepter diagonally as she shouted, "{Tower of Flames}!"
A red circle appeared on the floor where the minotaur stood, and suddenly, stream of fire gushed out.
"WOOSHH!"
It burned the minotaur, the minotaur only cursed from the inside of the tower of flames.
"YOU ALL WILL REGRET THIS!"
It's HP had already hit the 70% mark.
When the pillar of fire disappeared, the minotaur had already changed its armor into an odd one, where its made of skulls. But instead of monsters' skulls, it was made from human's, elves' skulls, to be exact!
"It seemed that you lowly elves and humans are worthy. All of you have forced me into using this equipment."
"It can use spatial magic!" Azalea shouted.
"It's attack pattern will be different now! Be careful, Llyod!" Ryth shouted.
"Roger!"
