Roar of a King (I)

Move to the flanks!! Emma called out with a shaking roar while stepping back. Right then, Kramer rushed forward in front of her and raised his shield, blocking a void-fused strike of a massive, forty-feet tall creatures.

At the same time, six others fanned out, with Daniel and Ethan taking the rear, the two shadows gliding and slashing away. Senna positioned herself on the creatures left, sending an army of weapons to rain from the sky at it, with Lek shadowing her, summoning an array of skeletons to act as her safeguards.

On the other end, Jamal, Sigmund, and Elypso rammed at the creature from the right flank, unleashing a barrage of high-damage skills, nearly ripping away aggro from Kramer who desperately tried to keep it.

At the far rear, two new additions to the party stood, lamely firing off a barrage of skills. Both were Elementalist, a bid to replace the raw magic damage that Cain was responsible for. Despite the fact that this was already the third boss theyve fought with Emma and others, they still werent able to adjust to the sheer level of raw brutality and fearlessness.

The arena around them was a platform suspended inside a dark-dimmed void, with the solitary forms of light being the effects of skills, and the creatures eyes. Though this made coordination slightly more difficult, under Emmas leadership, the fight progressed smoothly into the second phase, as soon as the creature hit 50% HP.

It shed its outer layer, almost like a snake, but unlike the expected skeleton, what appeared was an ethereal form of purple-dyed smoke and shadow, an apparition floating and slinging out void-charged strikes over and over again.

EVERYONE WITH HIGH HP TO THE FRONT, THE REST BEHIND, Emma roared, ordering around immediately. Delilah, give us the shield!

Aye, aye, a golden shine exploded soon after, cradling the group in a gentle embrace and alighting the platform. The void strikes that blew toward them instead glanced off of the shield, disappearing into the mass of nothingness behind them.

The timers expiring, Senna said. In fifteen.

We rush it? Kramer asked, taking a sip of water.

Wouldnt it be better to just have you and Emma tank it while we whittle it down slowly? Daniel proposed. It probably has a final phase. If its a DPS check, were fucked.

Tsk, youre so cautious, Jamal grumbled. We rush the bitch!T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

I concur! Sigmund exclaimed. Rush and beat it up!

Faith my ass! Youre just bullies! You just bully me! I demand a second healer!

If we get a second healer, youll just slack, Emma said.

So what?! Dont you think I deserve to slack a bit?!

Youre the best healer in the world, Senna said suddenly, grabbing his shoulder. Theres nobody else who could do this. Take pride in that.

... you guys have absolutely no intention of finding another healer, do you? Yuki asked, disgruntled.

Its not that, Emma sighed. But do you really think good healers are that easy to come by? Most already have steady groups. Not to mention that healers are the fewest in number among the classes seeing as few people enjoy having the fate of everyone in their party in their hands. So, trying to filter out the awful, the psychotic, and the greedy doesnt leave us with many options. Ricks been lookin real hard for one, and Im sure hell find him or her in time. Until then, just keep us alive.

Tsk, easy for you to say. I hope Cain comes back with six chicks at his side. yelping lowly and hiding behind Jamal, he looked away from the deathly stare, not daring to meet it head-on.

Anyway, Senna spoke out suddenly, breaking the awkward atmosphere. That was fairly easy. Id argue that bitch-ass fish was even harder.

The only reason you think it was harder cause you couldnt do any damage to it, Daniel scoffed. Personally, by far my favorite boss.

Of course it is. You get hard at the very thought of beating me in a DPS race.

Better than using it as an excuse for not doing literally anything outside of DPSing.

Oh, please, pot and kettle much? Senna rolled her eyes.

Alright, alright, pipe down, Kramer said, noticing a portal opening at the center of the platform. Weve been at it a while. Lets take a three-months break.

Yup, Emma nodded. I just hate that I know the boss wont be discovered in that time. I hate the numbness of looking for the Guardian.

We all know Cains laziness rubbed off on you, you dont have to mention it all the time, Jamal said.

At the same time, Ayna and Gary remained silent while the rest of the group bickered loudly. The two pondered on the name Cain, having heard it many, many, many times before. From what they gathered, the two of them were brought in as a replacement for him, and considering the level of respect everyone in the group showed toward him, as well as the implication that was by far the strongest member of this party... there could only be one, they realized. The inspiration for all the Elementalists and the reason why many selected that class in the first place. The name and the picture long forgotten by the world. All they could do... was pray to meet him one day and simply ask How?.
