The Otherworlders were paralyzed in fear as they watched the absolute being tower above them.
The blast that rushed from its jaws descended on Adonis' barrier, causing even more cracks to reverberate all over it.
Adonis could feel his bones rattle as his defense was being penetrated.
"E-everyone! Prepare to retrea—!"
Before the Otherworlders could say any more, they began to hear strange sounds around them—especially behind.
Many feared to turn back, but those brave enough to look were rewarded with even more despair.
"More Mobs! And they look completely different from the ones we just defeated!"
Each of them looked eerily similar to the Boss Monster before them, except a lot smaller and less menacing.
Their threatening existence still neared, however.
And so, before the Otherworlders could get a grip on what was happening, they were surrounded!
"What should we do now, Adonis?"
"Adonis, what's the plan?"
"Is there a way out, Adonis?"
Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis! Adonis!
The Hero's name kept echoing in his head as he struggled to keep his wits about him, while also trying his hardest to maintain his barrier in order to prepare for the next round of attack that was incoming.
"Prepare for combat! We're going to fight our way through this!"
"E-EH…??"
Shocked expressions radiated from the Otherworlders.
After seeing the Monster and what it could do, they had expected Adonis to speak along the lines of retreating. Yet, he was talking about something too unrealistic.
—Defeating such an unbeatable foe.
"It's the only way to survive! If you want to live, then get ready to fight!" Adonis yelled as he gritted his teeth and frowned deeply.
Now wasn't the time for hesitation or second guessing. Doing that could risk actual death.
They didn't have Ralyks with them this time, so it was possible that any mistake here could lead to their deaths.
"Get in formation, everyone! Heavy hitters like Belle, Alicia, and Billy, I'll need you to come with me to deal damage to the Boss and distract it from everyone else. Everyone else, focus on the mobs."
It was a very risky venture, dividing their forces in such a way. Not only would their full combat power be halved, but it was very likely that both sides would lose without the other backing them up.
However, at the moment, it was the only viable option.
'Right now, I'm in Level 105. My base Combat Ability and Mana Level are above 1,000, but my Life Force is still lacking…'
According to the kind of power the Monster was exuding, Adonis guessed the thing's Stats had to have reached 5,000—
perhaps even surpassed it.
'If I add my Bonus Stats and the effects of my Enchanted Items, along with my Skills, it's possible I can somewhat keep up.'
The biggest advantage that Adonis and everyone present had was their intelligence.
'It's a mass of power, but it's merely following instincts. With a proper strategy, it's possible to win.'
~VWUUUSH!~
Summoning his Divine Sword, Adonis felt a rush of power surge through him as his teammates neared him.
"Belle, use your strongest wind abilities to attack it in multiple areas. Billy, take the left flank, Alicia, take the right flank. I'll attack from behind, hopefully dealing enough damage." Adonis instructed, and they all nodded their heads instantly.
Every other person had to deal with the mobs, which meant they would be unprotected from the Monster's Blast.
Adonis had a plan for that, though.
"Huu…" Misty breath escaped his lips as he stared resolutely at the creature before them.
"… Let us begin!"
~WHOOOOSH!~
Adonis deactivated his [Absolute Defense] and rushed towards the Boss, his helpers moving right behind him.
The Boss Monster easily noticed this and prepared a blast to halt them in their tracks, or at least eviscerate them.
However, Adonis had already expected this predictable pattern of attack.
"Rahhhhhhh!" He slashed hard, pouring his Light Magic into the blast of energy that his Divine Sword generated.
The result was immediate.
~BOOOOOOOM!~
The Boss Momster's face tilted slightly, causing the blast to fly somewhere else.
As a result, they were all safe.
"NOW!" Adonis yelled, noticing the monster had gone on recoil.
Billy, Alicia, and Belle took their respective positions, and as they prepared their Skills, Adonis leaped high to the very face of the Monster and used his Light Magic.
"Grand Luminous Flare!" Pointing both of his palms towards the Boss, a powerful burst of blinding light rushed towards the beast's face.
While it was concentrated solely on the Boss Monster, the purpose of the Spell was not at all to deal some kind of damage.
No… it was to deal a debuff.
"I've blinded it. Maintain some distance from the Boss, as well as the effects of your attacks, so it can't detect where you are!"
Adonis twisted in the air and bounced off the ceiling so he could finally land behind the Boss.
Tightly gripping his blade, he prepared a definitive attack on the Boss.
'I can't pull my punches!' Gritting his teeth, he began to activate all Skills that would be useful for the current battle.
Skills like [Indomitable Power] would help him in his offensive maneuvers, and since the Boss Monster was most likely a lot faster, his [Full Sense] Skill would come in very useful if the creature tried to make any sudden moves.
'All preparations have been made…' Adonis took his stance, ready to strike.
'Please let this work!'
