36 Boss figh (1/2)
When Raymond saw that notification it felt like it would be hard to accomplish. Seeing as he can't see the health bar of the enemy. He needed to guess when was the right time to attack. It was also cool if he could solo the monster, but seeing as how easily it subdued the other guild members, it was most probably the same level as him, or even of a higher level.
'It would've been cool if there really was an inspection skill. Hey system what do you think?'
'At my current level, I cannot add such a function. The host needs to continue to level up and do his tasks properly if he wants to unlock more functions.' Hearing the system's answer Raymond no longer replied to it and instead talked to his guild members.
”Alright then, let's kill this thing. Martial artists at the front, use [iron skin] when it approaches. Mages and Archers get ready to initiate a volley. Swordsmen will attack after the martial artists block the monster's first attack. Priests will heal when needed.” The Guild Members did as they were told and went into their positions. Once they were in positions Raymond gripped his sword handle and licked his lips.
At this very moment, Raymond was very nervous. Aside from the first time he fought in this world. This was the only other time he felt there was an actual danger to his life. He couldn't help but touch the teleport scroll every now and then.
'Hey system, you already removed my sympathy and empathy why don't you remove my fear as well?'
'The host's level is too low to hear the answer.' Hearing that robotic answer was actually able to calm Raymond down a bit.
'Alright then, it's now or never.'
”Priests buff us with everything you have.” The priests gave all the Guild Members, every buff they can currently cast.
”Mages and Archers unleash everything you got!” Upon giving the signal a torrent of arrows and spells fell on the Oni. Though there were numerous arrows that came down using the skill [arrow rain] not one of those arrows was able to pierce the skin of the Oni. On the other hand, there were only two mages and the strongest skill they had was [fireball] which was only able to burn a little bit of the Oni's skin.
The Oni finally noticing the group of intruders roared at them. ”Archers stop using [Arrow Rain] and use [Piercing Arrows] instead, Mages continue using [Fireball]! Martial Artists get ready to endure this incoming a-”
Raymond wasn't able to finish what he was going to say when the Oni arrived in front of the martial artists ready to swing its club. The group of martial artists immediately used [Iron Skin]. Brom used both [Iron Skin] and [Unrelenting Spirit].
The Oni with one swing of its club was able to blow away two martial artists despite them using [Iron Skin] but the remaining martial artists were able to endure the strike stopping the Oni momentarily.
”Swordsmen charge in!” The swordsmen alongside John came slashing at the Oni. Unfortunately for them aside from John who was able to cut a bit of the Oni's skin, the others were unable to even scratch the Oni's thick skin.
”Change targets destroy his weapon instead!” The swordsmen then switched their target from the Oni to the club it was holding. With each swing of their swords, the club was slowly sustaining damage.
The Oni once again roared as it was about to swing its club at the swordsmen, but before it could do so Raymond used [provoke] from behind the group of martial artists. The Oni didn't understand what happened but it felt like it wanted to attack the man hiding at the back.
Seeing that [provoke] worked, Raymond told the mages and archers to change positions. The Oni wasn't able to penetrate through the wall of martial artists. Still, it was able to kill one more martial artist. Now only three of them remain, Brom, lonelypants, and one of the maidens.
”Continous fire!” The archers started using [Piercing Arrows] and were able to make their arrows penetrate deep enough for them to get stuck onto the Oni. The mages, on the other hand, were already at zero MP and could no longer cast spells. They needed to wait for a minute to recharge 1MP.
The Oni who was being attacked from all directions was getting angrier and angrier. As its anger rose it moved even faster than before. The Oni was about to attack the archers, so Raymond used [provoke] again but this time it was ineffective.
