John decided that the last part of Monday was to be used to test Gno’s new capabilities. As a new and improved Tier 2 Elental he expected notable changes beyond the obvious physical ones. From what he could gather her Stats were not all that impressive from a mathematical standpoint, she had the standardized 5 tis her level and then an extra of 10 points for so reason, most of which had gone into her newly awakened Libido. On the surface she wasn’t that strong but Observe had been proven to be more of a surface tool. Chances were that there was sothing to her that just wasn’t reflected in Stats alone.
Magoi was once again missing this morning and John made a ntal note to check on him after he completed at least one dungeon. Between the question of what Gno could do now that she was such a cutie and what Magoi was up to now the forr was simply more interesting to him. So, he stepped into a gate and looked at the Monster Spawn Table.
Was there so kind of moral hidden inside the fact that the pharmaceutical nad character dropped the most money he had ever seen? Was that a goddamn Futurama reference? Two questions John had no ti to ask himself as a much more urgent one got answered.
“What stars?” he mumbled before a glorious shining orb of silver tore the sky apart and crashed five tres away from him into the fortifications. The shockwave sent him flying, he gave mana to Sylph in order to make his impact as soft as possible. She reacted in ti and so, instead of crashing on his side, he made a very unnatural sorsault and landed on his feet.
A lesson in modern warfare: basic fortresses are not useful against aerial bombardnt. The Anti-Depressant was still inside its spawn point, its floppy arms raised above its head, the blunt ends connecting in a big O. Stars fell all over the city. None of them were aid at John but the things just kept falling and that was enough cause for concern as it ripped apart the buildings like they were made out of paper. Unlike paper though, the highly accelerated debris was actually deadly, so John did his best to stay on the move and sowhere safe.
“We need to end this fight ASAP!” he shouted both aloud and in his mind, “Everyone attack the Anti-Depressant!”
Aclysia was the first to heed the call, closely followed up by Sylph, who caught up to her. Aclysia, wielding the Cleaver of Streets, jumped and did a spin in the air that ended with her blade crashing right into the being’s side. It sank only the slightest bit into the Anti-Depressant’s body, Aclysia’s montum coming to a very abrupt halt. Then she was smacked over the head, taking 40 points of damage and throwing her to the ground. The Anti-Depressant didn’t chase at all and Sylph now started to shower it in small but frequent attacks.
‘Is this one of those bosses that are rooted?’ John wondered and stopped running. Even when Salamander arrived and helped Gno in a combined assault all the Anti-Depressant did was keep flailing its arms and rotate on the spot. Aclysia re-joined the fray, then Undine and finally Gno partook in the tussle. The thing was showered in attacks and John, always an eye in the sky (literally, the Bee had broken through the cloud and now he could spot where the next stars would fall) threw in so Mana Rays for good asure.
As it turned out: just like John had bosses he was bad against, this boss was extrely bad against him. The stars were impressive but so random they weren’t a reliable threat and the lee attacks it did were too slow to hit Sylph (although Salamander got smacked twice and had to retreat) and too shallow to be of major concern to Aclysia. So, as long as John kept dodging the stars, he could just grind the boss down. Which is exactly what he did.
The fight was over after ten minutes of constant hitting. John smiled, that was a boss he could grind out for the day with ease. Wave 7 here he ca!
