For his last surprise of the night, Bor pulled out his Buckler and charged at the Boss. Surprisingly, it's weapon was a bow, and it was using it to take down the back line. If the tanks did not receive timely healing, then a party wipe could happen instantly.
Bor wouldn't let the thing attack as it pleased. Shooting forward, he equipped his buckler and spear. Using [Charge], he bashed at the monster.
[-1,200 Hp]
Pitiful damage, but completely understandable. Looking at the boss's stats, Bor realized he had a long battle to go.

Every single one of the skills of this dwarf was tempting to Bor. If he could, he would have taken every skill, but alas, he would be fortunate if a single skill fell.
"Guys, we can't survive this, we keep going, we will get party wiped!" Firelord Izzu's son was the most well versed in dungeon diving. The only reason Bor was higher leveled was because he had began his journey slightly earlier, and he had other methods of earning Exp.
"What do you suggest we do?" Single Shot Dead asked, which firing an arrow at the Elite coming at him.
"Crazy idea here, if we all get into this cave thing, they can only fight us three at a time, and the boss come later!"
"Open the way for me Smithy!" Lonely Snow did not even wait for a consensus before she started rushing at Bor.
"Clear the way for the healers first!" Shouted Firelord Izzu's illegitimate Son as he bashed at the enemy Elite. Ayram and Ice Fist were running towards the cave mouth as fast as they could. Suddenly, the weight of more than seven fighters all being higher leveled than them fell on three, I am Fortress, Firelord Izzu's son, and Swordsmith99.
Bor had it the worst, since he had to fight the boss solo.
Boom!
[-45,000 HP]
Bor found himself almost plastered to the wall when the Boss activated Wind strike. His ribs were cracking and he could barely stand up. Just as the boss was about to follow up with another whack from its bow, Bor used [Double Switch] instantly generating a doppelganger two meters from himself, and then switching places.
This was Bor's last life saving skill, and if he didn't have it, he'd been a goner.
[+12,000Hp]
[+18500 Hp]
Ayram and Ice Fist had settled in, sending much needed healing to Bor, who instantly took off into the cave mouth. Seeing the intruders actually enter the so-called sacred grounds, the beasts almost went crazy in fury and rage.
Fortress and Illegitimate Son were not going to allow them entry, using all their defensive skills to hold them back. Bor, Single Shot Dead, and Lonely Snow struck with vehemence at any that managed to slip through.
Just like that, the group managed to stabilize the situation. After some extremely intense fighting, and several In Game hours later, the group had managed to bring down all the Elites, and the Boss was in its final straw.
Just as it was about to give up its ghost, the sky blackened, and dark clouds gathered at dizzying speeds. Thunder and lighting were flashing all across the clouds, and looking at it carefully, it was changing into a face.
"You! Puny humans! And a She-elf! How dare you kill my people! I will hunt you all and kill you for this!" The Boss screamed and died, yet even as it did, it had a look of peace, as though it knew it would be avenged.
Morendat Notification: You have been marked by Lord Argur. For the next six days, you will be attacked by all dark races, and are unwelcome in any black organization.
Seeing the boss finally die, everyone collapsed on the ground. It had been a long, tiring fight. They were beyond exhausted, barely able to stand up. Due to the immersive nature of the game, they could feel the same on their bodies.
"Are you sure that is a B-ranked Quest? How can it have such difficulty?" Lonely Snow asked as she panted. Ayram was too tired to answer.
"Let's rest up for a while, then check the loot." Firelord Izzu's Illegitimate Son said, "and what's up with that notification? Who is this Lord Argur?"
"Who cares, wake me up after a few hours."
"I am with you Single Shot,"
Several minutes later.
"Alright Ayram, lets check what the boss dropped," Bor said, "I call dibs on all the skills it dropped."
"Hey, that was my deal with Ayram, if there were any skills, I get first pick!" Single Shot said as he stood up. Needless to say, both Bor and Single Shot Dead were drooling over the drops, but Bor's share was the forging materials.
It took a bit of cajoling and a hefty discount on the Crossbow, but Bor finally got the [Wind Strike] skill, the only skill book that the boss dropped. By now, everyone had gotten at least one thing from the drops, so the ranger was not particularly stingy with his gains.
"Hey Sword smith, Come over, check this out," Called Firelord Izzu's Illegitimate Son.
As the two, Bor and Single Shot, were haggling, the others were investigating the cave. They knew based on their gamer experience that the cave must have some good stuff, so they were checking it out.
Ayram was gathering all the quest materials. They were done collecting, coincidentally, after they'd killed off every monster. When Bor went to check out the loot, he couldn't hold his surprise.
