Chapter 109: Werewolf Crypt, IV
Von was decapitating werewolves one after another. He was covered in black liquid that he assumed was blood, he had no idea how Isla got them in a trance but he wouldn't question it. He trudged forwards, carving a path and leaving dead bodies as he did.
Luka on the other side was on a rampage, without them even moving, it was easy to punch holes through their hearts. He'd at times punch a hole and squeeze their hearts, he liked feeling them exploded on his palm. His berserker mode, made him love blood more than be liked to admit.
Of course the two archers weren't standing by idly. Several arrows rained on the werewolf army, injuring and killing some. The two priests were hard at work, healing all 4 of their guild mates, ensuring that they didn't waste potions on foot soldiers. Saanvi was a bit jealous, she wanted more than anything to attack but without a scepter it wasn't possible.
Isla didn't need much arrows, she used the wind to make the arrows seem like they were alive. They'd go through one and onto the next. She smiled at how convenient it was to have spirits at ones disposal. Seeing the skills he didn't have, Erik was also a bit jealous.
It was then he noticed that he was still very green. He didn't know magic arrows, he didn't even know how to manipulate the wind to work in his favour. He reckoned they were skills Isla acquired and learned, and that they weren't inherent for all elves.
He wasn't exactly wrong in his deduction, Isla was no longer of the elven race, she was a sprite, even though her physical appearance was the same, her skills were heaven and earth compared to his.
After 10 seconds, her mana veins were complaining. So she released the illusionary arts, but they had killed them all except for only 2.
When they came to, and say themselves standing on the corpses of their comrades they turned tail and ran. Isla wouldn't let them though, she released a magic arrow that pierced through the first and onto the next one.
Ding!
[Congratulations, you've killed the werewolf King's elite army. You've angered it greatly, it weeps for its fallen children and it won't rest until every one of you are its meal.]
"A king?" Wis said, barely a whisper. She was out of breath from all the healing.
"It wouldn't be much of a dungeon without a boss." Isla shrugged, cleaning her precious bow Hiro made for her.
Everyone else was cleaning their weapons, to keep it from rusting and dulling.
"This B ranked dungeon wasn't anything special, we should attempt A ranked next." Von commented, pride in his voice. He couldn't believe how easy his guild master made the dungeon be.
The other two boys nodded in agreement.
"Let's deal with the boss first, then we will talk." Isla scolded.
They had to walk a bit of a distance to reach where the boss was, it was right at the centre, at the heart of the forest. When they reached it, it was as if it was waiting for their arrival. It vastly differed from its subjects. It was huge and majestic, it towered over all of them. It stood on all fours, its fur seemed thicker than any of the armour they had on.
Isla tried illusionary arts on it, but it didn't work. Erik shot an arrow, which it dodged with too much ease.
Ding!
[You've encountered the king of this world, to clear the dungeon, you'll need to kill it.
Werewolf King
Level 50
HP 20000]
It walked low, and cautiously. It growled at them, its eyes were fire. It looked at them with such rage and contempt.
It took only one giant leap to reach Luka whose muscles were already engorged. He tried to block its attack but he was sent several meters away. It didn't waste any time and attacked Von next.
He managed to block its teeth with his sword. It swiped across his chest with its claws, damaging his armour badly. Erik felt absolutely useless, as the thing moved so fast he couldn't aim well.
Thanks to her accuracy skill, Isla didn't face the same problem. She was able to accurately pinpoint where it would land next, like a strand of strings. She shot three arrows its way, 2 completely missed while one grazed it a bit.
She quickly summoned the Earth spirits, she knew its next target would be the priests, so she quickly drew the earth spirits from the soil and made an invisible wall which shuttered at the arrival of the werewolf king.
That was enough time for Von and Luka to once again stand between the monster and their priests. They quickly downed health potions as that would be faster than getting healed by another player.
The werewolf was visibly annoyed as it sank its teeth on Luka's shoulders. He screamed in agony. Von already used his sword to impart a wound, all that did was make it even more angry. It pinned him on the ground with its big paw.
It let out a roar that left him paralysed, Isla ran into the battlefield, she couldn't stay away any longer. She activated mirror image to distract it from mutilating her comrades.
It worked, as it saw about 12 more people and about as much arrows coming its way. It dodged but luckily the real one hit. It was over for it, but not before lunging at Erik and cutting his head off cleanly.
After that, the arrow liquidated its insides and exploded. Nourishing the soil with its blood and flesh.
Erik pixelated and died.
"Dammit! I didn't expect I'd lose a single member, it's a B ranked dungeon, thought it'd be a cakewalk." Isla complained.
Nobody talked back, they were simply too tired and too shaken up by how unprepared they were going into this. They absolutely attributed their victory to lady luck. If Isla didn't have those deadly skills, they would've likely been unable to clear this dungeon.
Ding!
[Congratulations players, you're the first ones to clear a B ranked dungeon. You've received 1 million coins and 20 million EXP. The king dropped its pelt, it is epic ranked.]
Isla breathed a deep sigh of relief, she thought she'd need more potions coming into this dungeon, fortunately they saved a fortune.
"Now then, shall we run this dungeon again?" She grinned, asking hopefully.
