The boss room was the definition of creepy and scary. Dirty stagnant water filled it and flies and mosquitoes buzzed around the water. Several short trees with long branches filled the room. It was dim but the party of adventurers could see slightly better than expected.
Lilith took the lead. She held her shield tightly in one hand and her sword even more tightly in the other hand. The atmosphere was eerily silent and they could hear the sound of their heart beating.
Jason was terrified. Usually he was the one behind a screen when watching a scary movie but now he was the one in the scary movie. The only thing missing was the music that increased in tempo.
There were several statues in the swamp and they were of lizard men. Jason looked around and when he looked back at the statues they looked a bit of.
"It's the statues!" Jason said. "The statues are alive."
Immediately Lilith turned her shield towards the statues and it was just in time as one of them clashed into her shield. The statues started moving from their pedestals and walked slowly forward towards the group.
"Tank, charge forward. We must take care of them early on before they start to adapt." Lilith's body started to glow and a second holographic like shield appeared before her. She charged forward and slammed into the statues with Jack by her side.
His gigantic great sword was like a weapon of mass destruction. With every swing Jason could hear the air screeching in pain. When it hit a statue it would send it either flying back or break it into two.
(You have caused 89 damage!) Jason while still being fascinated chose not to slack of. His skill trigger finger was currently in effect. He took down several statues quickly.
Jason took a glance at Qala. He was struggling with a statue that had creeped up from behind. Jason raised his gun but he was surprised when Qala broke the neck of the statue lizard man. Qala turned and quickly dealt with 2 more lizard men statues.
'Are healers supposed to be that strong?' Jason wondered. Healers were a support class and they did not have many combat skills. They were not made for fights.
"Gunman! FOCUS!" Jack shouted. Jason turned around and quickly went back to exterminating monsters.
Suddenly the sudden of a whistle could be heard. It was beautiful and melancholic and every single lizard men statue paused and stopped attacking.
Jack squinted and managed to locate the source of the sound. It came from a lizard man. What was weird was that it was not a statue but an actual living being. It had iridescent scales despite being in the dark. It had several spikes on its neck and held a spear.
With out warning all of the lizard men statues turned and charged towards the lizard man. They jumped on it and the party watch in amazement as the tens of monsters merged. The merging took 10 seconds and they did not know what to do. Should they attack? Should they wait?
Finally the merging was complete and what remained was a lizard man with dark black scales. It's body was bigger and bulkier and it had more spikes on its body. The spear it wielded was bigger and it had a human like sneer on its face.
_____________
Evolved Lizard man boss
Level:35
Hp: 3500/3500
______________
Jason breathed a sigh of relief. The monster was only level 35. Currently his stats should be the same level of the lizard man boss. Even the Burnok summoner was 15 levels higher than this monster and yet it had proved to be no problems at all. Going by that logic Jason knew that it would be an easy fight.
It raised its spear, aimed and then let it fly through the air. Lilith readied her shield and as soon as the spear clashed with her shield she was forced to take several steps back.
Everyone was shocked and surprised at the same time but Jason was confused. All of this time Lilith had moved forward and had not even take half a step back but now this monster had forced her several steps back.
"Fuck!" Jason whispered. This fight was definitely not going to be easy contrary to his thoughts. What Jason did not know was that the Burnok summoner was a high leveled monster and that made it more proficient in summoning.
However it was not a great fighter. The lizard man boss was a better fighter so despite being a lower level than the Burnok summoner it was more dangerous and would be more difficult to defeat than the Burnok summoner.
The lizard man charged forward. It was not fast so that gave Lilith some time to recover. Jack had stepped up in front of her and swung his sword at the lizard man. They were both the same size.
The lizard man stopped in its track all of a sudden and as soon as the sword went by it spun on its legs and hit Jack with its spiked tail.
A huge gash formed on Jack's face and blood poured out however before it could get any worse Qala healed him.
Jason fired his gun and managed to inflict 300 damage. Jason quickly broke out of formation and drew the aggro of the monster. He shot several times inflicting 237 damage before having to reload.
The lizard man picked up its spear and roared before charging at Jason.
BAAAM!
Lilith used her shield and slammed into the lizard man. It turned around and before it could respond Jason unloaded his gun. All 24of his bullets inflicted a staggering 900 damage.
Jack arrived behind the lizard man and swung his sword. The lizard man's arm was cut cleanly of. It shrieked in pain and a red light covered its body.
"Move back! Its transforming!" Jack shouted. Jason and Lillith did as they were told. 5 seconds later the Lizard man had transformed.
