BRAGR) Boss Fight Part 2 (Patreon)

I watched as the Boss hunched over after casting the area-of-effect attack. This was when the boss would stop attacking for a few seconds. “Hammer it with all you got for the next three seconds!” I shouted before I went to work, doing as much damage as I could myself.

“Burhgar!” Another cry came from the boss as its health rapidly dropped. I watched with keen eyes, waiting for the next skill that the boss would normally cast from my dreams. I watched as it raised its flame arms and began to form a small fireball between its blazing hands. “Everyone move to the sides of the platform near me!” I yelled out.

I had already explained the boss’s attacks, but I still had to give orders as a reminder. Derrick and Angel both quickly moved. Derrick was on the far side while Angel met up with me. The boss’s small fireball began to expand until it was the size of a basketball. It then thrust its arms forward and fired out a wave of flames in a cone.

The cone was very wade, so unless you were almost standing in line with the boss, you would be hit. It was one of the reasons why I had Angel and her father stand at the sides of the room so that they could easily move when needed.

In my dreams, you could fight the boss while it was casting this spell, but in order to make sure nothing happened, I did not want to risk any fighting. A single attack from the boss could send Derrick or Angel over the edge into the lava that surrounded us.

“Once the flames are over, move back into position and begin attacking again!”I called out right as the boss’s attack subsided and rushed in. In the corner of my eyes, I watched as Angel and Derrick returned to their previous positions.

It was nice having such good teammates. Being able to work together like this without any issues was good. In my dreams, I remember being in a team where one person kept standing in dangerous spots and dying then blaming the tank and healers. But it was his fault to begin with, since he was not listening to any callouts.

We continued like this for the rest of the fight. Since it was the first boss, it only had two major attacks and nothing but melee attacks, so it was not too hard to deal with besides the occasional fireball it would toss at me.

After almost forty minutes, we finally got a notification.

“We did it!” I yelled out, wiping the sweat from my brow. I looked at the boss that was slowly disappearing, revealing a huge treasure chest in its place, and smiled brightly.

I was now level 28. Sadly, levels were really slow when grinding, but still getting as many as I did this run was not bad. “Zoe, open the treasure chest!”

I turned to see Angel’s eyes filled with anticipation, which made me chuckle. I could see the greedy glint in her eyes. She had the same look as her father! I looked at the two and shook my head. They were definitely father and daughter.

“Alright, hold on. I will look now.” I was afraid they might start gnawing on the chest if I did not open it soon. As the team leader I was the only one who could open the chest. It was one of the few restrictions for parties in dungeons. The boss’s loot was always inside a chest that only the team leader could open. If the team leader tried to loot something, it would bring up a roll or pass window. Only when everyone chooses whether to roll or pass would the loot be distributed. It was one of the few locked mechanics, and it worked well since no one could steal anything, although those who rolled and could not use it were quickly blacklisted from parties.

“Remember to hold off on selecting roll or pass.” I know they already knew this, but it was still good to remind them.

I walked over to the chest and placed my hands on the lid. I looked at the two, who were practically drooling, and a sly thought entered my mind. I pressed hard on the chest lid and pretended to use all my strength as I tried to lift the lid. “Huh? What the hell?” I cried out in confusion, causing both father and daughter to rush over.

“What’s wrong!?” Angel asked in concern.

“The lid is struck, and I just got a message that says I need to sacrifice a pink-haired thing to open.”
