Chapter 153: The Silver Wolf for the rescue!

Nobum nodded.

“Ok,” he said before taking a step forward.

It felt like the whole army had entered the battlefield as he did. He was heavy, powerful, and quite boss-like, not giving any impression of a typical last boss.

He unfolded his arms. From his hands, the veins popped, moving alongside his arms like snakes. That kind of ritual went through his whole body, drawing out his blood to dry it immediately.

[Nobum has covered his whole body with the bloodrunes.]

[His strength has surged!]

After wrapping himself in his specialty, Nobum prepared to charge at Team Homies. Of course, the boys didn’t stay idle.

Their tank, Sun Day, mounted their new ally, the Silver Wolf. Once these two teamed up, the new abilities awakened in their systems.

[The Silver Wolf has granted you a temporary subclass, Rider.]

[You have formed a new connection with The Silver Wolf.]

[You have blended your stats with The Silver Wolf.]

Josh’s stats doubled… No, they went even beyond that as The Silver Wolf used to be a boss that would make many players sweat with his big stats! As he became much stronger, Josh naturally would be able to take the brunt of the Orc’s power!

He lifted his shield, “Unbreakable Aura!”

A transparent but little silver in color aura swathed Josh and his mount. The ambiance leveraged Josh’s stats and his shield’s defenses. Because of his new subclass, Josh believed he was like an immovable mountain.

He positioned his shield before himself, tightly clenching his hands. He planned to never let it go as long as he mounted the Silver Wolf.

He peeked from his vast shield, looking at the last boss. As their eyes met, the battle started.

Nobum jumped forward like a wild beast. He had so much strength in his legs that he flew on with unprecedented speed.

Josh didn’t flinch, though, “Taunt!”

He didn’t mutter his skill’s full name because of Nobum’s fast speed. He still believed he would be able to use it without a problem.

[You have taunted Nobum.]

After successfully getting his enemy’s enemy attention, Josh tightened the grasp around his shield. He braced himself for the heavy damage!

His enemy gathered his mana and bloodrune power around his right fist. His hand bloomed with red power that wrapped itself around his green fist, giving him a glove with high stats.

“Die,” he punched Josh’s Unbreakable Aura!

BOOM!

The collision of red glove and silver aura resulted in the whole last floor’s arena going mad. The floor shook like crazy as if an earthquake had gone through it. Cracks appeared below the last boss and the silver boss.

But… that was all.

Josh endured the first punch, and he didn’t even budge! On his skill, a faint ravine appeared, though. That didn’t make him worried but elated!

He grinned.

His mount barked, taunting the boss for the second time.

Nobum’s left arm moved on its own. He smashed down The Unbreakable Aura again, causing a little less chaotic than before.

And while Josh and The Silver Wolf took all Nobum’s attention, their party was already on the move.

“Die.”

“Die.”

Two fastest individuals appeared simultaneously above Nobum, from his left and right side. They appeared mid-air as if they used Josh as the ground to leap up! It was naturally Zhen and Dancing Shadow.

They unsheathed their swords, letting out a clanking sound. Their weapons shone with their respective skills as they slashed through Nobum’s thick skin.

They drew a little of his blood, enhancing their own bloodrunes.

From above, Pedro’s magic descended onto the last boss. He went for the water magic similar to rain. But his drops were faster, each landing quicker than a bullet. Their sound also was pretty impressive, telling everyone how strong their buddy was.

And while Pedro’s magic pummeled the boss, Tomo Homie used his skills to cover the crack in Josh’s Unbreakable Aura.

At last, Alex shrunk his distance from the boss. Holding his swords’ hilts tightly, he thrust them forward with an intent to draw the most blood!

BOOM!

“Retreat!” Tomo Homie shouted before the boss scratched his homies.

It was their first boss run. They would usually die on the first try as they weren’t aware of the boss’s abilities. However, it was their golden chance, and no one wanted to waste it.

They were as careful as possible.

Tomo Homie felt agitated, ‘This guy is a simpleton.’

Their enemy was using just fists. He fought using his body and raw strength, following the pattern that everyone in Team Homies was already aware of.

Because of that, Josh used his taunt only if necessary. He used that in a situation where the last boss would surprise them with a different move.

Alex’s pet also used his skills as often as he could. Each time he did it, the party would barrel their strongest skills at the boss.

So far, it looked fine… until one of the homies made a mistake.

‘Shit…’ Tomo Homie cursed.

Zhen got caught by the boss.

That was not his fault, though. To wear off the boss and take down his HP to zero, the party had to exercise a lot, way a lot more than ever before. They were getting tired physically, their stamina rapidly going down, and mentally.

He made a mistake because of those factors.

Alex and Dancing Shadow tried to help him fast. But as they had never worked together before, they bumped into each other.

Josh used his taunt, yet that only stopped the boss for a second, ‘He’s gotten used to our taunts… We can’t taunt him anymore for a while!’

Zhen realized his situation, “Dying here is not bad! We have learned that the boss got used to Josh’s taunt! I also chunked down quite a lot of his health points! Hah! I am going to die like a hero for homies!”

He took his sword, shoving it forward in a futile attempt to leave his last attack.

But before the Zhen and Nobum made contact, Josh let the Silver Wolf go. The silver monster became a lone wolf, rushing toward the last boss swathed in the silver aura that swayed around his head like a tornado.

BANG!

He bumped into the last boss, bringing him down. The Silver Wolf howled before burying his sharp teeth in Nobum’s shoulder as he saddled him.

At the same time, Zhen laughed, “Not dead yet~~ Haha!”

He limped his way toward Tomo Homie.

Tomo chuckled, “Your smile is damn infectious!”

“We gotta smile in our life, homie!” Zhen grinned.
