Karl and Ophelia finished off the last few Ogres on their side of the path while Dana relaxed on the shoulder of one of her Golems, then headed to where the others were already waiting at the boss platform.
The first boss was a simple Ogre Lord, a Monarch Rank boss, but twice the size of an average Ogre Lord, standing seven metres tall.
If it wasn’t for that distinctively ugly face, Karl would have thought that it was a Giant.
"How are we going to do this? Do you want to swarm it? Perhaps let the beasts stretch their legs?" Karl asked.
Rae nodded her head happily in spider form and clicked her mandibles. She hadn’t gotten to stab anything for most of a week now, and she wouldn’t mind getting a boss monster all to herself.
Plus, with the Leafa Golem active, as she had named Karl’s Epic Guard, She had Void Body active, for nearly instant regeneration.
Ophelia transformed back to a Werebear and gestured to the waiting group of summons.
"Why don’t you let Rae and the bodyguards go at it? They need practice working together in battle if we’re going to travel the wilderness here anyhow."
That was all the recommendation that Rae needed, and she vanished from her spot with [Night Haunter], or perhaps [Shadow Step], as both allowed instant movement over that distance.
She had activated [Vibrating Blade] on her limbs, a skill she had learned from Overlord Niall, and systematically began to butcher the Ogre Lord.
Rae’s Golems were firing spears at its face for the first few seconds to distract, until the Bodyguards took over the distraction job.
The Guardian, equipped with the Haint Claw, leapt into battle, aiming for the backs of the knees and the insides of the elbows to cripple the boss, which was already in a pathetic state as the three spiders brutalized its body.
Remi laughed and held back her bodyguards. They weren’t needed, and the boss was only going to last a few minutes anyhow.
The Ogre Lord surged with power, activating some sort of skill, then suddenly stopped as the power vanished without a trace.
Cara did her best to look innocent, while Lotus laughed at the smug Void Badger.
[Nullify] was just ridiculously overpowered in a Dungeon.
One of the Golems was caught and smashed on the ground, but a strike from Rae’s forelimb broke the Ogre Lord’s grasp, and the golem flitted away for the few seconds it took for [Void Body] to regenerate the damage.
Tessa turned to Karl and shook her head. "That skill sharing is just too overpowered. When you said that the Epic Guard shares its healing and regeneration abilities, I didn’t think that it was something like that.
When we saw it on Dana, it was a shock, but seeing it in effect on the already overpowered Rae, it’s just unfair to the boss."

Karl chuckled. "It really is, isn’t it. Plus, with Cara interrupting all his attempts to use larger skills, he really does look pathetic.
He’s getting some hits in, but this is closer to a massacre than a fight. It’s surprising how much damage he can take, though. I would have expected Rae’s blades to sink deeper with all the stacked damage from [Rampage] and her skills."
Remi turned to Karl. {Why are we waiting, though. I just realized, we can use an area ability to just bring everything to us, so we can fight it all at once.}
She still spoke serpent, but for everyone else, the System was happy to translate.
"As much as that sounds like a terrible idea, I would kind of like to see what happens." Ophelia agreed.
The poison also had a slowing and paralytic effect on them, bringing the mighty charge to a stumbling gait. frёeωebɳovel.com
