Who would have thought that an army of 135 strong would be entering the battle arena in their identical armour and flashy weapons as they all were instructed to hide their stats and attributes?
Everyone had their names registered in the band as the experience points would be distributed evenly, and with the new 45 new adventurers that had just joined us, we had to enter the lowest level demon in a large party raid to get them accustomed to their newly acquired shouts and skills.
With the newly upgraded weapons, and armours for the Mace's, Druids and Necromancer, the march towards the battle arena was magnificent since everyone was identical in their battle gear. A sense of pride washes over them that caused a tsunami over the other pay2win fat, rich sonofabitches with their full plate armour. HAH...!!!
We chose a level 41-50 demon level and a large army of 200% more of us and we entered the teleport despite the sneers and jeers from the battle seasoned adventurers. This is our first participating party raids in York, we are not making a name for us but we just need to Level up.
We appeared on plain ground and there was a looming cliff above us. Suddenly just before we even organise our battle plan, a rain of Arrows came from the sky and towards us.
'S H I E L D S. U P...'
'S T A N D. Y O U R. G R O U N D...'
Someone held a megaphone and shouted these commands and everyone stood still and an aura enveloped us as the rain of Arrows fell around us and didn't touch a single of us at all.
'A R C I N G. S H O T'
'B A R R A G E'
'D U A L. S H O T'
'C O M B O'
Shouted a Ranger as he readies his arrow and shot one into the air as the rest followed one after another. There are 30 longbow and 30 arrows soon took into the air, one at a time in a 2-second interval as a single arrow split into two as it finds its individual enemy.

It doesn't deal much damage for those Level 1 users but for the seniors who had reached Level 35, it deals as much as +45 damage per arrow.
Screams of agony were heard as the demons were pierced with as many as 5 Arrows each and soon another batch was released once their round is over.
Assassin...!!! COVER AND SEEK...!!! The sergeant Assassins hollered and 15 of them clambered on top of the cliff's face and soon took cover to spring a surprise attack.
'C H A R G E...'
The warriors, berserker and Paragons all advanced up the hill and finish up the rest of the demons. It was an uphill assault and the Druids summoned wild beasts and Necromancer summoned the dead spirits to support the 3 advancing groups while the 15 Mages sent the Death from Above every 1 second for 15 seconds to obliterate the unseen enemies and to force them out from their hiding places.
With the swarming forces, they faced off the lowest tiered demon with ease, mainly the seniors would block and parry while the new adventurers would hack and slash and annihilate every one of the enemies.
At the meantime, the Rangers and Amazonian had just completed their 5th rounds of Arrows when a whistle was blown indicating a complete victory with new casualties from the NVA.
Once again 270 pieces of broken weapons and 270 broken armour pieces were automatically stored into my storage bin while the spoils of war were being picked up by the individuals. It was the first attempt and it worked well. The seniors of the melee would block and parry and the juniors would hack and slash.
The battle is over in under 6 minutes and we went through the teleportal with extreme joy as the announcer made the rankings and it showed that ours was the fastest. It was a blitzkrieg...!!!
Soon we advanced to the upsize one on the same level and once we accomplished it we went to the party against Level 51-60 through a large and upsize party raids. After breezing through, we advanced again against Level 61-70 in the large and upsize party raids before we stopped for lunch.
After lunch we had several party raids sizes on Level 71-80 and advanced to Level 81-100 based on small raids a few times before advancing to medium, large then upsize.
With our newly upgraded weapons, we waltzed through the level 81-100 demons from small parties and medium ones, while we did a chacha and a mambo for the large and upsize battles after we had undergone a sequential battle.
When we finally emerged from the teleportal, everyone looked relieved to see the real world outside once again and took a break at the tavern and had dinner afterwards. The monetary award had been given to them at 10 gold coins per person courtesy of Stef as she dispersed 1350 gold coins from her savings.
I looked at my collection of junk and discovered that I had garnered 7084 broken weapons and 7084 broken armour that would be turned into money for my own use later.
The 135 strong adventurers decided to go through a sequence of battles with the level 81-100 demons 3 times in small raid, 3 times in medium, 2 in large raids and 1 in upsize before they call it a night. This means they would undergo another 9 battles and since I am not involved, they would auto collect the broken armour and weapon and they could sell it for shillings.
We bade them good luck and always take care of their buddies as they soon took off after dinner to battle the level 81-100 demons. It was a total of 9 battles and they took less than 2 and a half hours battling these in the night environment.
Soon they all sold the 1485 broken pieces of weapons and armours and had gotten a tidy sum of 742 gold coins plus their rewards and they shared it among themselves. Sharing is caring and all in the name of fairness.
They took their suppers and then proceed to march out to the outskirts of town where 27 tents were out up for them to rest for the night. After some ten minutes, everyone was silent as they fell asleep with 5 adventurers sharing a tent each.
....
The next morning all of us marched into the city gates and went to the tavern to have our breakfast when we heard a lot of hush talk among us. The tavern was large enough to cater for 250 adventurers per sitting so basically there are a few hoodlums, hooligans, opportunists and other low creatures that would only lurk in sewers and shit holes.
"Archhh... Those level 81 to 100 demons are only for pussies even at upsize scale party raids." provoked a man in a corner of the tavern with a hood over his scarred face.
"Yeah...party raids are for boys... Boss raids are for men..." hissed a toothless hoodlum.
"Be a man... Take up a Boss raid and you'll reap mystery chest and other rewards..." a man at the counter wearing fine clothes and drinking an ale spoke up enticingly.
I quickly sent a broadcast message to the band, "Don't get intimidated by these people. Think of glory and not fame as we level up. Minimum skills and shouts to be raised to 65% minimum before we would go for the boss raids."
"Don't be like Flaming Arrows, Heavens Gods, Winged Immortals, Riders of the Dragonfly and Shiverguard. These are famous names in bands and now what had become of them? They joined a boss raid and can't get out from there and lost over 1000 over men in a single battle. "
"In the end, they disbanded and came to nothing now. Would you want to be like them? The risk is way too high and everyone of you means a lot to the NVA. H O O A H H..."
I sent the broadcast message to them and they slowly realised that it was too early for them to be in a boss raid and the only way is to Level up.
