The battle with the
was fraught with slight downs, but overall, it went smoothly.
They were our first twin bosses, so it had everyone perplexed, but that was only to last for a few monts. After all, our guild mbers had the wealth of experience fighting all sorts of bosses than any other students.
They soon got used to the pattern of twin bosses, plus with the tricks I had shown, we had gotten the tide of war completely on our side.
"Mooo!!"
"Mooo!"
"Uh-huh, now they've covered each other's back huh. Sierra, focus on Back-Bull! Ester and Karua, you're up for Front-Bull. Switch!"
"Sure."
"Understood!
!"
"Roger.
!"
As the HP of the twin boss fell to the red zone, the two Bull-Orc imdiately took a back-to-back position; covering each other's back from incoming attack.
With that change, we could on longer take advantage of their blind angle. Plus, this formation increased their offense by straight 50%.
"Sierra, bring it to lee battle! Ester and Karua, Hit-and-Run tactic! They have got their offense enhanced, so make sure to avoid getting hit! Lana, bring out your heavy hitters!"
"Heh, I was just waiting for this!
!
!"
"Now for my turn!
!"
The way to counter that formation was easy. In exchange for tight movents, their efficiency against long range attacks had faltered. Taking a stance against long range attack had been Back-Bull's work, but Sierra had pinned that boss down.
Ester and Karua were engaging against Front-Bull. Lana and I were slamming our spells from distance. We had them perfectly dancing within our palm.
And soon, ti ca to shave off the last silver of HP.
"Behold the judgent!
!"
"And here's the sendoff firework,
!"
" "Mooooooooooooo!!!" "
Lana pinned down their movents with her sword of light, and in tune, I launched the giant arrow of thunder which reaps away the remaining HP.
And in monts, our first twin bosses had dispersed into their own pool of light particles, and vanished among them.
"We did it!"
"We sure did! And with perfection!"
I exchanged high-five with Lana.
"Good job, Sierra, Ester, and Karua! How did you see this boss fight?"
We walked up to where the rest of the three mbers were and offered them words of appreciation.
"Thank you, Zephyr-sama. They made for quite a peculiar boss. You learn sothing new everyday."
"Indeed. Without Zephyr-dono's instruction, there had been so many monts we could have fumbled seriously."
"Hmm, it was tricky, but easy."
"Oh geez, Karua. Isn't it easy because of Zephyr's command?"
Sierra, Ester, and Karua shared their opinion of the bosses, while Lana rebutted against Karua's murmur.
They had a lot to digest after fighting a new type of boss. For them, it was certainly a formidable opponent.
They had coordination down to an adequate degree, or could retaliate while ignoring the aggro. And even if you managed to push one boss into down status, the other would imdiately follow up to be the shield.
It was an easy fight because I had already been aware of every single aspect, but for them, it was a hurdle they could get themselves into dicey situation easily.
It had every making of first-ti killer---like rookie killer, except this holds true for an opponent you're facing for the first ti. Of course, I was impervious to the first-ti killer. I an, it can't be first-ti if I already had gone through them, ahaha!
"It seems there will be many more peculiar bosses to tackle down the road huh."
"Bingo. Well, with a counterasure ready, they're not going to be much of a problem with our advanced job. Right, how did the new equipnt feel, everyone?"
"......Ah, yes. Our today's goal was mainly to check the feel and performance of new equipnt huh."
Sierra's eyes fluttered, seemingly just recalling our true task for today when I ntioned it.
And yes, the whole exploration and boss fights were basically to get used to our new equipnt, aside from the advanced job, though it was obvious. Though, it seed like the peculiarity of the new type of boss had gotten their whole attention that it beca an afterthought.
"Well, from my perspective, everyone seems fine for tomorrow's interclass battle."
"I guess so, is it because we had focused too much? I feel like my movents were less stiff."
"Likewise. I also think we will at least not beco a hindrance for the interclass battle, though more training is still due."
Sierra and Ester comnted as the one who had a major change in their battle style.
One received the ability to manipulate four floating shields
.
The other received skate-esque movent related equipnt
.
Ro wasn't built in a day, and no matter the prior experience, they had required ti to get used to them. Though with the blessing of their job, and their own effort, they had grown enough to pull their weight even when facing formidable bosses.
Now, I was simply looking forward for tomorrow.
"But I still haven't gotten the hang of
however. I guess I am going to use it in the main field straight, are you sure that would be fine?"
Lana asked with a slightly anxious expression.
Ah, well, the
was an exceptionally strong stationary healing battery sort, but since you couldn't move, it wasn't exactly recomnded for dungeon exploration. Also, it wasn't the best place to make use of it either way.
The best place for it was the arena.
She had done so practice, but she obviously hadn't yet tried healing tens of people at once. Tomorrow would be her first try, the sa goes for the true ability hidden within
.
Though that's for later, right now I ought to cheer her on.
"Of course. We have others for healing roles too, so just take it easy. Besides, almost all of your job abilities work even without the need of designating the recipient. You would be fine even while away from the main battlefield."
Lana's
healing work via prayers.
The best part of it was she hadn't been required to specifically set the target, so there was no chance for her to miss the part. After all, while it wasn't in the ga, it was possible to accidentally heal your opponent in reality. And that had been why, since you don't need to set a target,
was the strongest healer in the
.
"Hn. I, too, will be fine."
"Haha, of course you will since your style barely changes. Well, it goes the sa for ."
Karua and I had received straightforward power ups, so no new equipnt for us. Though I should get a huge makeover too, once I acquire the equipnt that goes by 'Dragon' title. But Karua for the majority party would remain the sa. Her job was a high-ranking mid-tier job, so unfortunately no dramatic changes for her.
Either way, it was easy for us. And for now, I could say we were more or less ready to face the interclass battle tomorrow.
"I can't wait for tomorrow to co soon."
"I know, right! I would have liked so more practice, but there's rest of preparation as well, so this is it, I guess."
"You've made a wonderful decision, Lana-sam. Yes, let's do all that we can to not leave behind any regret tomorrow."
"Likewise. And it seems like the sun is already set, let's gather the drops and get back."
"Hn, I already gathered them."
"Woah, you sure are quick!?"
In this way, leaving the Int-high dungeon half explorer, we took the shortcut, a.k.a the teleportation circle, and returned back. Hmm, what about the boss's treasure chest? As you could imagine, if our mbers weren't excited about it, then of course, the drop was...... a
.
Atleast, the solace was we had already gotten better stuff on our way so that didn't sting that much.
The biggest win for us in this exploration was definitely the Summon Disk of General Bull-Orc. Kukuku, I couldn't wait to surprise everyone, fuhahaha!
Other classes might also use
but that's no longer important!
Either way, I just hope tomorrow cos soon so I could experience my first ever Inter-class battle in this world!
