Chereads / The Tower of Swords / Chapter 17 - Floor 11, Part 3

Chapter 17 - Floor 11, Part 3

The fight with the Minotaur Champion goes on, with the members remaining. The fight proves to be a hard one, the boss having 50% HP left, while every player alive is at half HP.

- I need to regenerate my HP a little bit. Someone try to take the aggro of it. (William)

- Our tanks need to rest a little. How are we going to handle the boss until then? (Uma)

- If you ask me, I'll just put them as shield meat until they die. Seems like this boss breaks defence easily, so they will die anyway, just like the other tanks. (Gilgamesh)

- We can't just sacrifice some people. It is already hard enough. (Alexis)

- But he has a point. If we count the casualties, most of them are just Knight or Guardian class. (Zekker)

- You aren't serious, are you? (Alexis)

- We knew how sturdy Apollo was, but he still died fast. (Leon)

- I only have 1 Knight left in my team. Do you want to sacrifice yourself while we deal as much damage as we can, Yunan? (Uma)

- I'll do as you command. You know I'll follow your orders anyway. (Yunan)

- William is a Guardian too. So, he might block some of his attacks while we try to kill it. (Zekker)

- Luckily, I have 2 Knights alive, but it's not my call to just send them to death. (Slaber)

- If you are sure that the rest of you can kill this monster, then it's worth the risk. (Oberon)

- How many damage dealers are left? (Alexis)

- We have four if you count Dante. (Leon)

- He will die, so count him out. Just look at his HP. (Gilgamesh)

- Uma has four, Zekker has three, Slaber has three and Hercules has three if we count the leaders as well. So, sixteen damage dealers against 40% of a tough-ass Boss. I don't like those odds. (Alexis)

After some short talking between the switches in this fight, they decided to a way to try to kill this boss monster. Just as they predicted, after a couple of minutes, the tanks all died trying to block even one or two attacks, but the damage provided by the other classes seemed to be effective.

- We must attack with our new skills too when he gets to 20% HP. (Uma)

- I wouldn't want to show all my trump cards but we have no choice. (Gilgamesh)

Then everyone started to use everything they had in their arsenal, which was quite effective, but the boss struck back killing more people.

- Dante died. (Leon)

- We lost Shark too. (Uma)

- On my side, only me and Cyrus are left. (Hercules)

- I'm starting to lose my confidence that we can kill this one. It's the hardest monster that we've fought yet. (Alexis)

- What about that Demon that you guys fought? (Zekker)

- Well, he was in another league as well, but we were only 5 people then, now we are raiding this one with 30, well what's left from 30. (Alexis)

- We had a shred of HP left back then as well. If it wasn't for the last struggle of Leon, we would've died. (Gilgamesh)

- He only has 10% HP left. We must kill it. If not for us, then for the ones that sacrificed their lives. (Slaber) 

- I'll get his attention on me. Uma, Drakon, use your attacks as hard as you can to kill it. (Artemit)

- You will die if he hits you even once. (Drakon)

- I'll give my best to dodge as much as I can. After all, I'm quite fast. (Artemit)

- Come here you muscle head! (Artemit)

- Attack him while his back is turned. (Uma)

- Now's our chance. (Zekker)

- Ugh! (Artemit)

~Player … died.~

- Come on… he is barely alive. (Gilgamesh)

- Spear Throwing! (Leon)

- That was a good shot. He is confused. (Cyrus)

- I'll handle it from here. Spear Dancing. (Karna)

- Wow. That attack is quite impressive. How many attacks did he connect? (Alexis)

- So, are you able to do that? (Gilgamesh)

- You know I have no such skills. He is even more impressive than before. (Leon)

- Tearing the Sky! (Zekker)

- Condemnation Sword. (Alexis)

- Is... Is he falling to his knees? (Zekker)

- He's got no power left. Just two, or three more attacks and he's dead. (Zeros)

- I've got this. (Slaber)

*slash* *slash*

~Congratulations. Thanks to a brave group of players, Minotaur Champion(S), the Boss of the 11th Floor has been killed. 

Their achievement will be recorded in the Hall of Fame.~

~Congratulations on finishing the unique dungeon. Your reward is: 150 gold coins, Exp..., x10 Minotaur Leather(B), x10 Titanium(A)~

~Special rewards: Receipt of Minotaur Armour, set of Minotaur Champion.~

- Hey, did everyone get these rewards? (Alexis)

- What are you talking about? (Leon)

- I got some special rewards... (Alexis)

- I got these too. (Zekker) 

- Me too. (Uma)

- What special reward are you guys talking about? (Leon)

- Maybe every party leader got these as extras. (Slaber)

- I got some jewellery and a receipt for an armour. (Alexis)

- Let me see those. (Gilgamesh)

- Well, I don't need the jewellery. (Leon)

~Minotaur Champion Necklace – level 100, A-grade, +30 Stamina, +22 Strength~

~Minotaur Champion Earrings – level 100, A-grade, +30 Agility, +22 Strength~

~2-piece bonus set - +18 Agility, +18 Strength, +18 Stamina~

~Minotaur Armour Receipt – You can craft a full armour for the Guardian and Knight classes.~

~Materials needed for the full set: x80 Minotaur Leather(B), x80 Titanium(A)~

- If it is only for Knights and Guardians, then I'm not interested. (Gilgamesh)

- At least we can make a pretty good armour for Apollo. The Minotaur Leather isn't a big problem, but that Titanium for sure is rare and expensive. (Alexis)

- How ironic. The boss smashed our tanks, but the reward was an armour for them. (Zekker)

- How do we get out of here now? (Leon)

- There aren't any staircases that lead to the next floor, so maybe from the city. That portal most likely will take us out of the labyrinth. (Uma)

- At least we can teleport out from here and don't have to walk all the way back. (Zekker)

As they were talking and checking everything they've got from this labyrinth, they were approaching the portal to exit. After they got out, they exchanged friend requests and bid farewell to each other. 

- I hope we get to fight together again. (Zekker)

- Yeah, the help from everyone was very welcomed. (Uma)

- Maybe on the future floors we will meet. After all, we are top players from various big guilds, so it will be inevitable. (Slaber)

- I can't wait to fight again with you guys. Especially with that one. (Hercules) pointing towards Gilgamesh. 

- If you are not careful, I'll that that top spot in the arena from you. (Gilgamesh)

- Bye-bye. I hope next time I get a chance to fight these Lancers. (Leon)

- You know you have no chance to win against me, right? (Karna)

- Thanks again for everything. I'll contact you guys if anything comes up, so don't hesitate to contact us as well. (Alexis)

After they arrived in the city.

- We have to meet with Apollo and Dante. (Leon)

- Yeah, I want to see how fast we can make that armour for Apollo. (Alexis)

- I'll give you the drops from the boss and what leather I've dropped from minotaurs, but that's all I can help. I don't have money to spare for extra materials. (Gilgamesh)

- That much will be helpful. With what the rest of us got, we might have enough Minotaur Leather, but that Titanium will be hard to find. I'm not sure how many have obtained it and how many are willing to sell it. Not now when the others need it for armour as well. (Alexis)

- Hello. Are you guys finally back? (Apollo)

- I'm so envious that I died and couldn't get the rewards… (Dante)

- Yeah, what goods it dropped. (Apollo)

After the two asked, Alexis shows what they've got from the boss.

- That armour set is huge, but I have no Titanium at all. (Apollo)

- Well, I have now 30 Titanium after Gilgamesh and Leon gave it to me, but we need to get 50 more somehow. (Alexis)

- Do you have enough Minotaur Leather? (Apollo)

- Well, we've got 54 from the three of us, so maybe with what you and Dante have, we can get to 80. (Alexis)

- Minotaur Leather? Let me see… I have 9 pieces. (Dante)

- I have only 12 pieces as well. (Apollo)

- Well, 5 pieces I can buy, but we must get that Titanium. And that quickly. (Alexis)

- I have 300 gold to give for it if it helps. (Apollo)

- Don't worry, at least me and Leon are willing to help you make this armour one way or another. (Alexis)

- Yeah. If we find some materials to buy, we will help with money, if not, we will find somewhere to farm it and we will get all the pieces needed for your armour. (Leon)

- Thank you so much, guys. (Apollo)
