The first boss was being rapidly disassembled by the combined efforts of the group, while Rae and Cara raged in the corner about the lack of damage that they could do to it.
Ten Percent damage taken was completely unacceptable.
They were only a little bit from the bottleneck. But the dungeon wouldn’t let them go forward until the boss fight was over.
If it did, they would have just taken some of the Golems and cleared the trash during the boss fight, and then the Karl and his friends could just do the second boss after the first.
Worse, the Ape healed even though it was bleeding heavily, and that was making it take even longer.
Dana had to fight not to laugh as the annoyance of the two bored beasts flooded her mind, followed by the amusement of Remi and Hawk, who were competing to see who could better predict where the boss would be pulled next.
It wasn’t pulled into their vortexes, and setting them right on its head was too easy.
Plus, the Totem Ranked Vortex didn’t actually do much, and space was limited.
The moment that the boss gasped its last, and collapsed to the ground, Karl turned to see what happened with the other boss.
No change. So, it wasn’t a split timer.
But did that mean it was still going to hit Immortal halfway through the failure timer?
Or would it stop just short?
Terry checked his watch. "We’re fifteen minutes in. Plenty of time for this group, but the amount of damage you need to do to that boss is insane. If we’re going to do this with a normal group, we will need better gear."
Karl transformed back and nodded. "I’m more concerned about how fast that enrage timer is advancing. We already know that level six will cap out at Immortal. But I don’t know what will happen on level three."
The Blood Knight shrugged. "As long as it gives good loot, I’m putting my faith in you this time. That dragon form is by far the best tank I’ve ever fought beside."
The beasts were already off and running, clearing the Totem Ranked Apes.
"They sure are energetic. We should get going. But does the Naga have a skill book for those flaming totems? They’re adorable." Mars asked.
Remi had patterned her [Burning Poison] Totems after herself, and they were designed to look like three entwined Naga Princesses that spit poisonous fireballs at every enemy in range when they were active.
"I will get you a copy later if you want one. It’s a fairly standard Shaman spell, she just modified the appearance." Karl agreed, as Remi couldn’t hear them.
