Chapter 84: Taking Turns to Attack

The Ogre was more enraged by Jack, so it ignored the others and chased after Jack. He led the Boss towards where John and the others were waiting.

"I'm coming!" He said in team chat.

"Took you some time," John commented in the chat.

"Screw you! you try holding the Boss yourself," Jack retorted.

"Okay, we can see the Boss already. All Magicians, attack!" John commanded in chat.

As soon as he finished the command, multiple balls of energy were flying in from three directions. All three Magicians had simultaneously used Energy Bolts as starting spells. There was a total of thirteen of the Bolts, they all found their way to the Ogre and bombarded it continuously. Each bolt dealt an average of 30 damages.

Despite suffering damages, the Ogre boss just barreled through the rain of bolts as if it was nothing. He kept on chasing Jack.

"Team 3, moved in to engage the boss! Team 4 stand by. Team 1 and Team 2 recuperate your health!" John gave out instructions as he continued to cast spells and shot standard attacks.

The four Fighters from team 3 charged in as they shouted in loud noise. Jack could still continue to fight but he followed the strategy so as not to disrupt the rhythm. He disengaged and went towards where Flame and Trap was hiding. The Ogre wanted to continue chasing him but the four fighters surrounded him and started to hack on it.

Enraged, it made a wide swing. Two of the fighters were knocked flying, each suffering over 100 damages. The third one managed to evade by ducking. The fourth Fighter who found himself facing the Boss' back immediately used the opportunity and executed Power Strike on it.

But he was soon become the Ogre's target and got knocked flying too. The last Fighter who still within the boss melee's range make a quick slash on its legs and then intended to jump back before the club came back at him. To his surprise, the Ogre used his other hand that was closer to him, it grabbed his waist and threw him away like a piece of rock. The Fighter slammed to one of the stalagmites and he almost broke it. He suffered 93 damage.

"F**k! So Fast? Team 4, engage! Engage!!" John shouted.

The Ogre was walking towards the Fighter he had just threw away to finish him off, but another wave of four fighters appeared. These annoying flies were so detestable, they kept coming one after another, the Boss thought with irritation.

Team 4 Fighters fared as well as team 3. One hit from the Ogre had roughly taken out one-third of their health. They could at most take two hits before they needed to run away.

"Team 1, are you ready to engage again?" John asked.

"Damn it! I'm still in healing!" The Man answered.

"Bloody hell! Use your restorative potions! We don't have time to wait for your Natural Recovery crap!!" John yelled.

"Team 2 will engage!" Jack said as he saw all team 4 Fighters were already running for their lives.

He charged towards the Boss as Flame and Trap following by his sides. "You two flank it! I will get his attention." Jack told them.

When the Ogre saw them coming, it immediately remembered. These three were the ones who woke him up. He made a loud cry. The three almost had a heart attack, they thought they were gonna be afflicted by Disorient again. But fortunately, there was no such notification, it was just a normal roar. However, the massive club starting to glow with yellow light.

Seeing that, Jack immediately had a bad feeling. He promptly halted their advance and shouted, "fall back! Fall back!"

The club came down and slammed onto the floor. The yellow light spread out and the ground that was covered by the light cracked and then multiple sharp rocks came crashing out. Jack and the others were lucky to have stopped their charge. If not, they would have been impaled by those rocks. The rocks then disintegrated and fell back to the ground.

"Holy shit! It can cast skill too!" Bowler uttered.

"It is a Boss, after all, it will be weird if it doesn't have a trump card. But that skill should have a long cooldown, hurry up and attack while it can't cast the skill anymore," John said while continuing to throw range attacks.

"Hell! Easy for you to say! You are just standing there shooting from a distance!" Trap complained.

"Friend, if you want to complain, then complain about you choosing a melee class," John countered.

While they were bantering, Jack and Flame had rushed back to the Boss who had just performed the special skill. They realized that it was pausing, as if taking a rest after making the large attack. They immediately used this chance and sent as many attacks as possible.

Trap who realized it immediately came to join as well. But when he arrived, the Boss had come out from its trance state and immediately swing its club. He was so shocked that he immediately performed roll. Despite the roll, he was still got knocked flying by the swing. Luckily he was using the skill: Roll, hence his defense was doubled, but he still lost almost half his HP.

Jack and Flame continued to send slashes and stabs in the meantime. The Boss frenziedly sent swing after swing towards them, but they utilized their speed to evade the attack. And they positioned themselves opposite each other. When Jack dodged, Flame attacked. When the Ogre turned and swung at Flame, Jack took the chance to attack.

"Those two were good!" John commented.

"Damn right they are!" Bowler exclaimed with pride.

"What the hell are you so proud of? You are not even half as good as they are," John said.

"F**k you!" Bowler gave him the middle finger while casting Mana Bullet at the Ogre.

"I am ready!" they suddenly heard The Man declared.

"F**k me! Took your damn sweet time. Just stand by! Charge in if team 2 had problem holding," John said.

Jack and Flame were still harassing the Boss with the same method. When the other saw the two going at it, it almost seemed like if they could continue this pattern, they would be able to slowly grind the Boss to death in this way. But as this thought surfaced in their mind, the Ogre's eyes suddenly glowed yellow.

Crap! It was going for another skill again, Jack thought. He was just about to warn Flame to pull back, but the Boss suddenly stomped his feet on the ground. A gust of wind knocked them up into the air, making them completely defenseless. It then made a 360-degree swing with his massive club. Knocking Jack and Flame who were at the back and in front of him consecutively. Jack lost 138 health while Flame lost 161 health, they weren't even able to execute their defensive move.

Flame fell a distance away, she was left with less than a third of her HP. The Ogre as if knowing which one was close to death, went towards Flame. Another hit and she would lose her life.

"Cover her! Cover her!" Bowler shouted in panic.

Jack was still getting to his feet. He would not be able to get to her in time. When he was disheartened for being helpless, he heard a shout. "No worries! The Man is here!"

The Man leaped from a high ground nearby, heavily brought his large two-handed broadsword cleaving at the Ogre's shoulder. It left a large gash on the Ogre's shoulder as it screamed in rage. It shifted its attention to The Man who had just cost him pain, and swung at him madly.

Flame used the chance to escape from the vicinity. Jack could still fight but he moved away and regrouped with Flame and Trap. They took out their restorative foods and started munching on them.

For a man his size, The Man's movement was pretty fluid, as he expertly dodged the Ogre's attack. However, his speed was not as fast as Jack's or Flame's, hence on the Ogre's fourth swing, he couldn't dodge and instead have to block with Parry. He was forced back several steps as he lost HP. His other two friends arrived and started making the attack, taking the pressure off him.

The teams continued to grind the Boss by taking turns, while the three Magicians continued to cast their spells and sent range attacks non-stop. They also activated their fourth skill: Heightened State, which increased their mana regeneration and reduced their skills' cooldown. When their mana was too low, they took out energy potions to replenish their mana.
