Chapter 43: Fighting with Cragens & Dragons Part 2

I selected the monster Goda was facing, as I trusted Shin's ability in dealing with his monster.

Once I entered the monster aggro range, it started to attack me with two of its arms. That was strange, wasn't its aggro focused on Goda?

'Take note guys, these monsters don't follow the usual rules of aggro.'

I sent these words in the team chat as I evaded the incoming attacks. I didn't start at once, as I tried to adapt to this monster attack pattern.

After a few evasions, I got used to its speed. This monster's main strength lied in its many arms that could attack you from any angle at any time.

That didn't cause any problem for me, as I was used to avoiding many attacks from my previous magician profession. After this, I started to use my spear.

The spear helped me a lot as I didn't need to move so near like Goda and Shin. That created enough space for me to evade any attacks. Without delay, I used my strongest SSP from the beginning.

"Strength auxiliary skill."

"Penta auxiliary skill."

"Tempest of lightning skill."

"Triple thrush skill."

Suddenly, rows of damage with different colors appeared above the head of this monster like a high-speed train.

'148-148-74-148-222-74-222-148-74-74-74-74-74-111-111-111-111'

The long row of damage kept arising without pause. In less than ten seconds, I took over 10k HP from this monster. That way, I was able to decrease its HP by one third in seconds only.

During these ten seconds, Shin had more space to move as the monster ignored him and focused its attacks on me. I faced 15 arms dancing like snakes trying to kill me, but they all failed.

During some of my attacks, I managed to cut some of its arms, so after these 10 seconds, this monster was left with 7 arms only and less than half of its HP.

I wasn't the only one attacking it, as Heda, Mony, and Snad was attacking from far behind. What helped more was the stun effect of my lightning tempest skill, as it caused the monster to stand still for a whole 10 seconds.

It seemed my lightning effect showed great transformation over this kind of monster. It jumped from 3 seconds to 10 seconds of stun duration, which was great.

I continued to use my spear to stab it without stopping using my high attack speed. Another long row of damage appeared above this monster head, but its values were lower than before.

After all, I'm using my basic skill to attack it now, as most of my skills were on CD. I glanced at Shin to find him continuing to use his skills without pause. This cool swordsman was lucky by having a CD skill.

He could use his skills freely without worries. When the 10 seconds ended, that monster only had less than 10% HP. There a change occurred to it, as it began to transform as its body became bigger.

Its arms got thinner at the same time, but their speed was upgraded to a new level. there was only less than 3k of HP left for it, so I didn't wait for it to end its transformation as I yelled in the team chat:

'Attack with all your strongest skills now.'

I didn't have any strong skill left except for the dragon head skill, but I would never use it on this shitty monster here.

"I will play with it while you start hitting him from all directions."

My role wasn't to deliver the final blow to it, as I didn't own such ability now. So, I chose to be the bait and let that monster waste its new transformation on me while others continue killing it.

I had to admit, dealing with all these sneaky arms was a challenge for me, but after nearly 20 seconds that monster fell on the ground with a loud bang. Many items appeared from its body before it disappeared.

'Take the loot and come to help me now. I can't take it anymore.'

I glanced at Shin shortly to find him in a desperate situation. He nearly retreated to reach the location of Snad and others. I stretched my hand and took the loot rapidly as I said:

"Go and help him."

Goda didn't say a word as he moved in haste towards Shin. The loot was only 7 items, but they were scattered in a wide area.

It took me a couple of seconds to collect them and after that, I went immediately to their aid. When I just neared them, I felt a sudden tremor from the ground, accompanied by the sudden illumination of the area I was at. I didn't wait to check out as I yelled:

"Mony, Snad, and Heda Run from there."

The three were completely immersed in hitting the monster Shin was facing, so they didn't notice the danger that was approaching from behind.

Once I yelled at them, they noticed something was wrong, so they ran without the need to look as they tried to evade the incoming death.

Their reaction was on time as they just escaped the clutches of that mad dragon which attacked from behind. The monster didn't stop, though, as it continued its run towards Shin and Goda.

The two were already engaged in a hot fight with the cragen monster, and now a dragon was added to the mix. Stressfully I moved trying to block that dragon path, but I was one moment late. Once that dragon reached the current battle situation, I ordered:

"Retreat to me, and I will cover you up."

That was the only solution left to us right now. While facing danger from two different directions, it would be better to retreat for a few steps and let them merge into one danger, and then you would have better chances of facing it.

That was one of the lessons that I learned after paying bitter prices. Just as Shin and Goda retreated a couple of steps, something weird went on without notice.

That newly arrived dragon didn't pursue after Shin or Goda; instead, it went after that cragen as it laid one hit after another on it. The cragen didn't stand still as it started to retaliate in a bloody fight with the monster against a monster.

"What the hell is going on?"

Mony exclaimed with shock while Shin yelled:

"Attack the dragon with one skill; we need to cause one point of damage at least over it. Don't use a strong skill or else we will risk-shifting aggro."
