The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414 Cleared

The second boss went very much the same as the first. Swarmed and beaten within seconds, with nothing they needed in the chest, but this time the coins just auto-split the first time that someone touched one.

"Oh, now it seems to be the default setting for the dungeon. The others who come in will love this if the setting doesn't just apply to us. Though, if they don't have a storage bag, I wonder what will happen?" Ophelia noted as they finished adding the items from the second boss to Thor's bags.

They moved on to the third boss, letting Bob lead the team, but the closer they got, the more that his frustration was growing. He was stuck at the bottleneck, and there was a missing ingredient for him to advance.

But there was hope that the last boss would help him break that, and judging by the look on his face, Karl was certain that Bob wanted to fight it alone.

"Alright, give it a go. The ladies will keep you healed." Karl agreed before Bob could ask out loud.

The warrior prepared himself, and Thor refreshed [Eternal Lightning] on him while bringing up [Circle of Protection] on the boss's platform.

If Bob was going to fight alone, that was about as much as they could do for him, and [Eternal Lightning] was a much more potent skill than any defensive ability the warrior had. It would also improve the reduced damage effect from the circle of protection, and he should be able to hold off the boss with minimal healing.

The Ogre Lord's club crashed down on Bob's shield, which glowed with golden Holy light as [Eternal Lightning] activated, then [Titanic Slash] crashed down on the beast's shoulder, carving a deep furrow in the armour and causing a spray of blood.

But between two Peak Commander Rank opponents, the battle was incredibly evenly matched, and only the extra abilities from Thor were keeping Bob in the fight.

The two warriors circled as they tested each other with quick strikes, then a flurry of harder attacks intended to put each other off balance.

Karl had never noticed before how similar the fighting style of an Ogre Lord and a Warrior Class Elite was. But other than their weapons, even their skills were similar.

However, Bob was quickly gaining the upper edge with superior sword skills, and the Ogre Lord was taking repeated strikes whenever a strike was blocked or parried well enough that he was left out of position.

It was clear to Karl what Bob was missing, though.

He wasn't understanding the change in energy patterns between Commanders and Royals, and Karl wasn't certain that fighting Commander Rank ogres would help him in that regard.

It might actually be better for him to spar with Karl, so he could experience the feeling of Royal Rank power repeatedly without needing to risk his life.

It wasn't really something that most Elites did when they were in the field. There were plenty of other targets to fight, so Karl hadn't thought about it. But for someone like Bob who was stuck at the bottleneck, it might be just the thing.

After a particularly brutal exchange, Bob stepped back and gave a nod to the Golems. He had realized it as well. The answer to breaking the bottleneck wasn't the Ogre Lord.

The Golems were on the wounded dungeon boss in under a second, and three seconds later it was falling dead to the ground, while the final chest of the Dungeon appeared.

Bob sighed as the reality that he hadn't made the advancement sunk in, and Karl went over to give him a conciliatory pat on the shoulder.

"Don't worry too much. I'll spar with you while we're here, and you might find what you're looking for. I can tell that you're so close to understanding, but there is no way to explain it until you already understand." Karl informed him softly.

On the top of the pile of armour pieces and weapons sat a single skill book. [Bone Crusher] was a budget version of [Shatter] that caused extra damage that bypassed armour. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
