"I see… thanks, Master. I will definitely not waste this chance." Mio muttered to herself as she stood up once more and looked at the giant Dragon in front of her, she began to stretch her whole body like she was not even concerned about the Raid Boss before them before finally speaking to everyone who seemed depressed at this point after they saw the level different between them and the Raid Boss.
As everyone was only about level 600 or so, Mio was really the only one who was at the same level as the Raid Boss but that doesn't mean that they had equal stats because if she was already struggling with the normal Flood Dragon which was just above lvl 300, people can only imagine how strong the Raid Boss is.
"Fear will only make you die faster, I thought I had already taught all of you that, so why are you still scared? Come on now, take a deep breath and have your chest high, all of you are mighty heroes. Let's do this like old times, shall we?" Mio smiled as she stood high and proud before all of them.
When her words resonated in their hearts and minds, they all looked at each other before finally laughing and shaking their head as it seemed that they had really forgotten what Mio had taught them all those years ago about what is the most important part of being a Hero.
"Remember this… A Real Hero doesn't fear their enemy or whoever they fight, the only thing that can make them scared and fearful is having their loved ones die. The one that you protected and who are those!?" Mio asked as she raised her voice a little.
"Our people! The Humanity." All of them yelled back and when Mio heard this she simply smiled deep inside because they finally remembered what she taught them before. That was the most important part of being a Hero, to never be scared of whoever you are facing, the only thing that you need to be scared of is losing the one that you protected and loved which was Humanity.
"Good… it's good that all of you still remember. Now let's go~" Mio nodded in approvement as she was the first one to engage at the Raid Boss, beside her were Solar, Saito, Ijin, and Yu Lei as they were the front members with Saito and Ijin being the Tanks while the rest were pretty much just Hybrid Swordsman.
The people who were left behind were their Supports and Magicians as they have the most explosive Magic Damage and they don't have much force if they are in front, it was just a classic strategy that anyone would think of. Have the melee in your frontline while having the backline as your support and ranged attackers.
"Buffs now, focus on the Tanks. Only use strength and speed for the rest. Magicians, support yourselves before attacking when I say so." Mio calmly ordered as she flew straight onto the Flood Dragon's head and crushed it to the ground.
"Stun him, Solar. Remember to hit its weak point to hit a critical strike and have a longer stun. Tanks get ready to get the aggro with your Taunt Skills and mages get ready, as soon as the aggro is turned towards the Tanks hit it with any type of DoT (damage over time) damage." Mio ordered as she calmly began to cast her own Magic while still being on top of the Flood Dragon.
Everyone who was watching was simply astonished to hear how coordinated everyone was and everyone knew why it was like that, all of it was because of the commands that everyone was following. If not for that it would have been a mess because everyone would most likely do what they think is right but with someone commanding everything is going smoothly. But before everyone could celebrate, they saw the Flood Dragon trying to get up and everyone became tense because the Tanks still had not got the aggro like Mio intended.
"Did I let you go already? Stay down there for a while little Dragon." Mio coldly said as she raised her free arm and plunged her Scythe on the Dragon's head while fully knowing that there would be hardly any damage from it, and just as she suspected she was right. Her Scythe only managed to get inside of the Dragon's head before stopping at its skull.
"Embrace of the Abyss," Mio muttered as she snapped her fingers, soon after a dark figure appeared in the sky and placed its hands above the Flood Dragon before clutching its entire body making it unable to move any further.
Because of the stun that was placed on the Flood Dragon before Mio's attack, the Flood Dragon was now completely immobilized and when the Tanks saw this, they immediately used their Taunt to get the aggro of the Flood Dragon.
"Bombard it with attack now everyone," Mio ordered once more as she flew towards the Flood Dragon at immense speed before attacking both of its eyes with her Scythe, when she was done she then pried its mouth open before lunging her modifying her Scythe to make it a dual-ended spear, and when the Flood Dragon tried to close it's mouth, it couldn't because of the spear.
"Flames of the Abyss~" Mio smiled evilly as she let out a wisp of Fire inside the Flood Dragon's mouth all the way inside of its body she then simply walked away and when she did, the entire Flood Dragon combusted in flames.
"If you can shoot it inside of its body do it, if not then just use your most destructive and strongest Magic on its body. Both are gonna work either way, you're familiar with my Flame of Abyss already so you know how that works." Mio said calmly as she sat on the ground to get some fresh air and relax as she used too much energy with that just now.
"Yes… I think all of us remember it clearly." They all simply nodded their heads as they began their attacks toward the Dragon just as Mio ordered them to.
In just a matter of few seconds, the Flood Dragon's HP bar slowly began to decline at an incredible rate and when everyone who was watching saw this, they all cheered in response. But what they don't know is that the real fight is just about to start now as the Flood Dragon will not enter its Rage Mode when it is under 50% HP.
"It's entering its Rage Mode now! Tanks, get ready!"
