"We can't keep doing this. Our raid teams are dying so fast!"
Queenstar is fighting Assail Arachne while looking at Kingstar that is trying so hard to find an opening to attack Queen Arachne.
"Then what? Are we going to give that b*tch the opportunity to take all of these?! We have to finish this boss now or never!"
One of the players approaches Kingstar and Queenstar.
"We lost another team. We will get wiped out sooner or later. What is your call, Kingstar?"
Kingstar is gritting his teeth and furiously looks at the guy.
"So what?! Just do your f*cking job and get out of my sight!"
The guy left and got back to his team.
Queen Arachne lifts four of her legs and spreads them wide open. Succor buffs her and Garrison immediately stand in front of her to protect her. Queenstar backs off.
"She's going to do that thing again, run everyone!"
Everyone is running but not Kingstar. He charges in and attacks Garrison. Garrison isn't moving not even a bit and ignores Kingstar. Kingstar furiously hitting him.
"Just f*cking die already!"
Boom!
Same as before, all of Kingstar's raid teams get annihilated. They couldn't make it in time to avoid Queen Arachne's ultimate skill.
Ivonna lifts her lance and shield.
"It's the time! Let's do it!"
We all nod and we are all running towards them.
I'm drinking my Lucky Potion and run ahead from the others. I hit Amelio and lure Queen Arachne away from the other. I smirk and dodge the attacks.
"It's nice to see you again."
This time I try to hit her and see how much damage I can do.
...10
...12
...8
...9
...11
Yeah... I don't want to waste my stamina for that since I have to dodge all the attacks.
I look at Ivonna and Michael and they seem fine, no, they're actually enjoying it. Then I look at Emma and the rest of them. They're also doing fine and Leonardo is commanding the team.
The sun is about to go down and we are fighting against the Arachnes under the red sky. It's almost two hours and I slowly getting closer to them.
"Guys, she's about to use her ultimate skill. Please be ready!"
Ivonna is tanking the damages from Garrison.
"Understood! We are doing great so far!"
Ivonna drinks a health potion and looks at me.
"You must come closer to us, Trevor. So Michael can immediately attack Garrison as soon as Queen Arachne used her ultimate skill."
I nod.
"Okay! Five seconds is more than enough."
Michael is too focused to talk right now. Ivonna is looking at the first team.
"Leo, Hans, Francesca, Emma. How are you guys doing over there? Please run towards us when I told you so."
The four of them are nodding. Francesca is looking at Michael.
"Ivonna, is Mike still have plenty of stamina potions? If not, I can give it to you now."
Ivonna is looking at Michael and he nods.
"He's fine for now! Just prepare the stamina potions and give it to him when we are taking a cover from Queen Arachne's ultimate skill."
Francesca nods. Leonardo is casting spells at Succor to reduce her movement speed while looking at Ivonna.
"Ivonna, I can also give mine to Michael. I will give it to him when Queen Arachne used her ultimate skill for the second time."
Ivonna nods.
"Understood!"
It's about time for her to use her ultimate skill. I leap backward.
"Guys! It's coming!"
Everyone nod. I'm slowly getting closer to Ivonna and Michael. The first team is also getting ready to move and waiting for Ivonna's signal.
Queen Arachne lifts four of her legs and spreads them wide open.
"Now! Get over here!"
Emma, Francesca, Hana, and Leonardo are running towards us. Michael is still focusing on hitting Garrison until Ivonna tells him to take cover.
Succor is buffing Queen Arachne and Garrison is running towards Queen Arachne. Michael runs towards him and keeps hitting him.
"Michael! Take cover!"
"As soon as she's done using her ultimate skill, I want you all to push Michael to the front as strong as possible!"
We all nod with understanding. Michael jumps backward and everyone is standing behind me so closely. Francesca gives the stamina potions to Michael hurriedly.
1...
2...
3...
Boom!
4...
I moved away and we all pushed Michael to the front. Michael immediately hit Garrison.
"Yes! I still have my stacks guys!"
We all are smiling with relief. Because he's the first player to hit the Arachne, he takes the aggro. He's surprised because Queen Arachne is about to slice his body with scythe-like legs, but Ivonna is there right on time to tank the damage, 5000 damage.
"Pay attention to your surroundings, Mike."
Mike is grinning and nods. Ivonna is smiling and shakes her head.
I immediately run towards Amelio and hit her once. Queen Arachne is chasing me again. Everyone is going back to their position and continue with the plan.
The sun is down. We are fighting the Arachnes in the dark. Fortunately, Leonardo has a spell to light up the dark sky every 5 minutes. Michael's damage stacks are at 20.000 damage per hit. Amelio keeps healing Garrison and it really is a great plan to keep distracting Succor rather than damaging her since Amelio will keep focusing on healing Garrison back to full health.
"Guys! Because I have to keep lighting up the sky, my stamina is depleting drastically. I don't think I can give my stamina potions to Mike, Ivonna."
Ivonna is looking at Hans.
"Hans, how many stamina potions do you have left?"
Hans is looking at his inventory while moving around to dodge Succor's spells.
"I still have 204 stamina potions. I can give Mike 100 stamina potions."
Ivonna nods.
"Thanks, Hans!"
Hans nods while preparing the stamina potions for Michael. I look at Emma and she seems exhausted since she doesn't have stamina potions on her and I understand that she doesn't want to ask for any from them because Michael needs them more than her.
"Emma, catch!"
A rainbow-colored liquid inside a fancy small bottle is flying towards Emma. They all take a glimpse at it and are surprised.
Emma catches it and immediately drinks it. She becomes energetic again.
I look at the time and it's about time for Queen Arachne to use the ultimate skill.
"Guys! It's coming again!"
Ivonna looks at me and the first team.
"The same as before, Trevor. Leo, Hans, Francesca, Emma, get ready!"
We nod and I'm slowly walking towards Ivonna and Michael.
Queen Arachne lifts four of her legs and spreads it wide open again. I immediately run towards Ivonna and Michael. Emma and the others are waiting for Ivonna's signal. Michael is doing his best as always. Ivonna looks at them.
"Now!"
Emma and the others are running towards us and hide behind me while Ivonna and Michael are still fighting Garrison.
Succor is buffing Queen Arachne again and Garrison is protecting Queen Arachne again. Ivonna is grabbing Michael's shoulder while looking at Queen Arachne.
"Get back, Michael!"
Michael stops attacking and turns around. Ivonna pulls him in and they're hiding behind me. Hans is giving his stamina potions to Michael.
1...
Boom!
2...
We are all screaming in joy. Then Michael is running towards Garrison while I'm already attacking Amelio. The others are looking at Ivonna. Francesca is smacking Ivonna's shoulder.
"F*ck, Ivonna! Nice timing!"
They all go back to their position again.
...
...
...
...
...
...
Morning comes. The sun is rising. We have been fighting for 15 hours. Michael's damage stacks are at 120.000 damage per hit. It is time. Michael and Ivonna have been so carefully handling Garrison since Michael can kill him in just three hits. Michael was holding his attacks and waited for Amelio to heal Garrison back to full health. He even used his bare hand to hit Garrison to reduce his damage output. I look at Ivonna and Michael.
"It's time, Michael, Ivonna!"
Ivonna is looking at me.
"What? We are still at 120.000 damage. It's still not enough."
I shake my head.
"No, it's enough. Garrison DEF is bigger than the rest of the Arachnes, including Queen Arachne. If Michael hits the other Arachnes, he will deal twice more damage than now. Trust me!"
Everyone is looking at Ivonna since it's her call as a party leader. She looks at me for quite a while and then nods.
"Alright, let's do this! We will lure Garrison to you guys!"
We all nod. Ivonna then taps on Michael's shoulder and they're slowly walking towards Emma and the others. Ivonna is looking at me.
"Bring her closer to us!"
I nod.
"I'm on it!"
I'm bringing Queen Arachne to them but not close enough for them to get hit by her attacks. I look at Ivonna and nod. Ivonna pats Michael.
"It's time for you to shine, Mike!"
I just remember something.
"Wait!"
Everyone is looking at me. Ivonna is looking at me with confusion.
"Kill Garrison first, then Succor, Assail, and last is Amelio. When you killed Amelio, you will immediately take the aggro and we all can do nothing about it. This will be crucial and I want you to be careful. A single hit from her is enough to kill you since her stats are doubled because of enraged."
Ivonna looks at me with big smiles on her face.
"You don't have to worry about that. I have the right skill for that. Trust me on this one."
In a split second my mind is searching through my knowledge about this game skills. But I can't find the answer to that. I look at Ivonna.
"Are you sure?"
Ivonna nods with confidence.
"I'm one hundred percent sure!"
I guess I'll just have to believe in her.
"Okay then. Let's do it!"
Michael is looking at Ivonna and she nods.
"Time to unleash my power!"
Michael hits Garrison twice.

Queen Arachne immediately charges toward Michael. Ivonna jumps in front of Michael. She crouches with one of her knees touching the ground while she lifts her shield to cover her whole body with it and points her lance at Queen Arachne. A quadruple Ion Shield appears around her and Michael with 5 meters radius. Now I remember that skill. It's called [Macedonian Phalanxes]. Each ion shields have a minimum of [10.000 HP + 10% Player's max HP + (DEF*5)]
Queen Arachne slashes the Ion Shield and it cracks the Ion Shield. Michael hit her once then Queen Arachne slashes the Ion Shield, but this time a layer of Ion Shield is destroyed. Michael hit her again. Queen Arachne's HP is below 50% and her damage is doubled. Queen Arachne slashes the Ion Shield and this time it destroyed two layers of it instead of one. Ivonna is surprised. Michael hit her again and the next attack will kill her. Everyone is cheering at both of them. I hear a rustling sound from the woods and it's Kingstar charging towards Ivonna.
"You b*tch! This boss should be mine!"
Ivonna and Michael are too focused on what's in front of them.
I remove both of my daggers and run towards Kingstar. I punch his face as hard as I can to hold him back. I look back and the last Ion Shield just get destroyed and Ivonna's HP is below 2000. Michael jumps over Ivonna and slashes Queen Arachne as hard as he can. Kingstar screams.
"NOOOOO!"

We are looking at each other for quite a while in silence. Emma is crouching and then jumps.
"WE DID IT!"
We scream our lungs out in happiness.
