Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 41: Finding a Way To Defeat the Dungeon

We ran like our lives depended on it, and that was really true. The monsters behind us were crazier than the cragen monsters from before. After 15 minutes of hot run, I said in the team chat:

'Snad, your turn to scout them.'

'I'm on it.'

Snad was more acceptable to this role this time, as he had previous experience from our encounter with cragen monsters. He moved to the back and after few moments he sent in the team chat these info:

'Dragon Special Elite monster.

LVL10 Special Elite monster. Unique class monster. HP: 30k/30k'

They were like the cragen monsters, with thick blood and that special class. Heda said in the team chat:

'We now have two groups of monsters cornering us. Any ideas?'

Shin replied to his question:

'I didn't recall the presence of another route we can take. We either move straight ahead to clash with the cragen monsters, or clash with those fiery dragons.'

'Let's just keep running, I have an idea that I want to confirm.'

I sent in the team chat as I expressed my thoughts. I had an intuition about this dungeon, but I needed to confirm it first. My intuition never failed me before, so I felt some relief. It presented a solution for our current complicated situation.

I didn't share my thoughts to my teammates, as I learned from my previous experiences that giving a false hope was more disastrous than being in a hopeless situation. After nearly 10 minutes, Snad said in the team chat:

'These monsters had decreased to half.'

I looked backward as my heartbeats accelerated from excitement. That was the sign I waited for.

'That's weird, it's the same thing that happened before with cragen monsters,' Mony said in the team chat while she expressed everyone's thoughts. I replied with confidence:

'This is the nature of this dungeon; two supreme bosses with a huge number of small monsters to hunt. I believe in a few minutes they would stop chasing us.'

'It makes sense, although this is the first dungeon I know to be like this.

Shin confirmed my words, which I was confident about. in minutes, Snad wrote:

'They stopped chasing us.'

I didn't delay as I ordered:

"Everyone stop now."

I stopped and was surrounded by everyone. Our breaths were rushing up like a horse race. I looked back and forth observing the two groups of monsters as I said:

"This time we discovered the pattern of this dungeon. Now, we have two different monsters up ahead, any opinions?"

Goda was the first to say:

"We need to know if we attacked one direction, the others won't follow us from behind."

Shin said with confidence:

"Don't worry, we already went to that big dragon and the cragens didn't come after us."

Heda added:

"I also agree with that. We need to decide, which of the two monsters are we going to attack first?"

Grendy also participated as he said:

"We also need to know how to get out from here. If we have to beat any of those two bosses, then we are doomed."

I noticed the change in everyone's face color, so I said:

"We will discover everything slowly, like we did to figure out the nature of this dungeon. Now, we need to decide, which monsters we should hit first?"

I looked towards the two directions, one was dark and gloomy and the other was bright and fiery. If the monsters weren't that thick in HP, I wouldn't hesitate to pick any side to start from.

I glanced at my teammates, they were feeling the same confusion and hesitation like me. I sighed then asked:

"We have two types of monsters, one is dark and the other is fiery. I believe those dark monsters will be weakened by light and heat, while the others weakness is water or ice or both. What do you think?"

I tried to move them from these negative unpractical thoughts to more productive thoughts. Shin, who was the most experienced player we had, replied:

"I believe you have a point here. Monsters have weaknesses that rely on the main features of them.

Aquatic monsters are weak against fire, while fiery monsters are weak against water and ice. The dark cragen monsters might be weak against fire, while the dragon monsters are weak against water and ice."

Goda added:

"That's right, and the main question we have now is, do any of us have fire or water based skills?"

I spoke first to encourage others:

"I have a lightning based skill. I don't know if it would be useful."

Shin looked at me as he commented:

"Lightning has a greater effect on darkness, but weaker effect on water in comparison with fire. It will help us against those cragens. I have the flood poison skill, although it's poison fog, but It might have some effect against dragons."

I looked at the others while I focused mainly on two, Snad and Heda. One was an archer while the other was a wizard. If anyone would possibly have effective skill then it would be one of them. My guess was right on the spot, as both of them said one after another:

"I have a fire arrow skill that can cause damage in area of 1*1 meters."

"I have an AOE fire skill that can hit area of 5*5 meters with fire rains."

I looked to both of them as I was about to ask more details from the two when Mony said:

"I have a fire based healing skill that could heal my teammates. It also has some damage effect on my enemies, but it's minimal effect so I usually neglect it."

That was a surprise. I asked at once:

"What is the exact effect of your skill?"

Shin interfered as he said:

"Let's all picture our skills info and send the photo in the team chat."

Oh, we can do that? I didn't know this before. I thought about picturing my skill and then a photo appeared in front of me with all the data about it.

I thought again of sending it into the team chat as it miraculously appeared there. When I saw the chat again, there were other skills there too. I read them all in one breath.

'Tempest of lightning skill: For spearman only. Needs spear. It creates a tempest of lightning in area 5 m*5 m around the player. Any player inside this zone has his Speed and Attack Speed decrease by two folds.

It causes personal damage equal to 200% of spear attack bonus stat every second. Any target hit by it five times had an extra stun effect for 1 second after the end of the skill.

Any target hit by it 10 times had an extra stun effect for 3 seconds after the end of the skill. Duration: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 20 minute. Mastery: 350/10,000
