Rise of the Strongest Sword Magician

Chapter 10: First Clear

The sight of the colossal boss looming before them nearly caused their eyes to bulge from their sockets. Doubt and apprehension gripped the party as they questioned the feasibility of taking on such a formidable foe. "Are we really gonna raid this guy here?" Ace voiced the collective concern. The sheer strength of Chief Goblin Willie was an overwhelming prospect, even for a party as well-equipped as theirs.

A palpable tension hung in the air, thick with worry. However, their situation was not devoid of hope. Their equipment, particularly Don's newfound Bronze Shield, stood as a testament to their journey and growth. Don's shield, aptly named "Guardian's Aegis," held impressive stats: +20 Defense, +10 Block Chance, and a special skill "Iron Will" that reduced incoming damage by 20% when health was below 30%.

But even with such assets, apprehension lingered. Kulas, however, inspired them with his unwavering determination. "We've come this far, and we'll continue," he declared. "Failure might bring our experience down, but success will make history." His words resonated with the group, igniting a shared resolve to press forward.

As the boss battle commenced, the tank Don bravely seized aggro, positioning himself as a shield for his comrades. The damage dealers, including PapiRumpa and Kulas, unleashed a barrage of attacks, aiming to whittle down the colossal foe's immense health pool.

Battle Scene:

PapiRumpa's precise arrows found their mark, accompanied by Kulas's fiery spells that illuminated the battlefield. Ace, the cleric, sustained the team with rapid healing spells, ensuring their survival against the relentless onslaught.

However, Chief Goblin Willie was not to be underestimated. The boss unleashed an area-of-effect (AOE) skill, a devastating attack that threatened to engulf the entire party. AOE skill refers to an attack that impacts a designated area, hitting multiple targets within its range.

Preparation paid dividends as the party quickly consumed their potions—carefully stockpiled prior to the raid—to endure the brutal assault. The support and endurance they provided helped the team withstand the AOE onslaught and regain their footing.

Battle Intensifies:

As the boss's HP dwindled to 30%, an unexpected transformation occurred. Chief Goblin Willie cast aside his battle axe and drew a saber, the embodiment of his berserker rage. His attacks intensified, and his agility surged, putting the party on the brink of despair.

Yet amidst the chaos, Kulas's strategic command guided the team. They utilized the terrain to their advantage, weaving through the chaos and mitigating the boss's onslaught. As a result of their collaborative effort, they managed to weaken Chief Goblin Willie, reducing his attack damage and agility, and finally bringing him to a mere 10% of his HP.

Victory Amidst Struggle:

Their hearts pounded with adrenaline, fatigue gnawing at their resolve. As Chief Goblin Willie teetered on the edge of defeat, their attacks pushed him into a weakened state. Their every strike, fueled by determination, brought them closer to victory.

And then it came—an eruption of cheers, a chorus of spells, and a symphony of weapon strikes. As the dust settled, Chief Goblin Willie lay defeated, a testament to their unity and perseverance.

From the fallen boss emerged a treasure trove of spoils: seven pieces of equipment, three valuable materials, and ten gleaming silver coins. The system notification resounded, a herald of their achievement.
