Chapter 232: The First "Commandment"

Ignoring the chaos caused by the announcement that occurred all over the world who is currently playing Alternate World, we are now facing a raid boss. Seeing the 15x beside the health bar of the boss means this guy is needed to be "killed" 15 times before he can be officially killed with his final health.

"I am nervous, this is the first raid I have ever participated in! I heard that raids should be needed to be done with multiple people and I heard that most of the time, guilds and more guilds would be fighting over to the raid," Dolly said.

"You are not wrong that raids are usually done by multiple players, usually multiple guilds fighting for the last kill. But since we will not be receiving any help from other players, we will be doing the raid by ourselves."

I didn't say that the raids can even be soloed since this is the first raid that occurred in the game. There is no way she will believe it so I just said the most basic explanation of what the raid does.

"Heh! No worries, Dolly! As someone who has done raids before, I can assure you will beat this thing that it will never be capable of reviving again!"

We face the skeleton and soon enough, he is now regaining stability and he slowly made some movement. The mouth seems to be struggling at first but soon, it is now doing well. It also started speaking.

"HOW DARE YOU ALL KILL ME! I AM INVINCIBLE! DIE!"

The voice of the skeleton is the distorted version voice of First. So it seems like the soul of First decided to use this last bit of chance to fight back and win. As expected of a necromancer, he will do whatever it takes to win.

He slams his big hands to the ground and it shook pretty hard. However, due to his slow movement, removing his hand from the ground took some time.

"Now! Attack!

Lucia quickly bombarded the hands with flames. Atlas also used this chance to keep on hitting the bones. The rest of us are dealing damage to the boss. I didn't participate in the damage phase and instead purchased some spells from the Alchemist skill tree and distribute buffs to everyone. Since we are limited on the raid and not everyone can do a solo raid like me who already have done something similar, I will have to give them some bit of support so that we can take down the boss rapidly.

[ATK UP, MAG UP, DODGE RATE UP, CRIT RATE UP, CRIT DMG UP, DEF UP, HEALING UP, RECOVERY UP, AGILITY UP, ATK SPEED UP buffs Received]

Seeing the notifications before them, they grinned.

"Thanks, Bladeheart! Now we can deal serious damage on this sh*t!" Dolly is now fired up and seeing the buffs, it seems she is now more motivated to deal another set of attacks to the boss.

"GRAAAAAH!"

Due to the increase of buffs, the attacks were capable of reducing the HP of the First Commandment down and forced it to reach the 14th, health bar.

"YOU DARE STRUGGLE BEFORE ME!? SERVANTS! SERVANTS! RISE UP, MY SERVANTS, AND SERVE YOUR GREAT LORD!"

His red eyes glint and the skeletons that were previously killed from the death of First's original body reappeared and this time, they are filled with a red aura on their bodies.

"They resurrected?!" Topaz frowned.

"Don't worry about it guys, focus on the boss, I will take care of the skeletons!"

After that, I summoned another set of skeletons myself and helping them fight the summoned skeletons.

"STRUGGLE HUMANS! YOU CANNOT ESCAPE MY WRATH! FEEL THE POWER OF A TRUE GOD!"

First slams his two hands this time to flatten the others. But since the attack is slow, everyone managed to escape the range of his attacks. The only ones who are not able to survive that attack were none other than the skeletons. who were chasing the others. Seeing that the hands of [The First Commandment] are now back on the ground, everyone immediately attacked the hands without relenting.

Aside from the occasional taunt lines he constantly throws at us, he is too big to be that strong. Also, due to him being a skeleton, he is not that much of a problem. However, I can see how some people will struggle with this raid. Due to the division of people, the players would only be capable of defending against the summoned skeletons and before they can even deal any damage to the hands, the boss will retract his hands and everyone will lose this chance.

That is why in raids, there is always an assignment on who will deal with the boss and who will deal with the mobs. In our situation, the ones who are dealing with the mobs is only me and the rest is the one dealing the main damage. Some people will say that this is an uneven distribution of forces but this is not uneven. This is the most optimal way to make sure that the boss will be down sooner than later.

As someone who is experienced dealing with multiple enemies, they are not a biggie for me. The skeletons might be countless and threaten everyone but too bad that they faced me.

With the brass knuckles, I practice punching a bit before I throw a punch to the skeleton. It was reduced to dust in one punch. They might be a lot but their health is not that much. The larger skeletons are not even that much of a problem either. They are just too weak to pose a threat to me.

So, why am I doing this?

Because there is another hidden title I accidentally received in the past while killing a lot of skeletons. It was a hidden title with some good effects that I can confidently say that it is one of the titles that allowed me to get strong enough to fight back. It is a good excuse for me to deal with the skeletons alone. Not only that, this is a good opportunity to rack up some points for all of my classes and if I succeeded, I can use this chance to gain a lot of points that I can use to max up the skills of specific classes. 

Isn't my plan perfect? Since this is a raid battle, I am quite sure this will take quite a while before it will stop. And if my assumption is correct, First is the weakest necromancer out of the twelve necromancers. First also mentioned that there are 13 people who know necromancy but there are only 12 necromancers needed to be killed. In that case, the one I killed back in the mansion that I owned now should be the 13th one.

With the assumption that the other necromancers are strong, fighting against the skeletons to rack up class SP will be good. It didn't matter if I overflow of them, the more SP to spend, the better.

The ground shook and I heard a scream. I look back and saw that someone is missing from them. Then I realized it was none other than Dolly.

"What happened?!"

"Dolly pushed Lucia out of the way since she was the nearest from the attack of the [First Commandment] but due to what she did, she was the one who got left behind and the moment the hand landed, Dolly was flattened!" Topaz explained.

"No! Dolly! Why did you do that!" Lucia cried as she keeps on throwing fireballs into the hands of the skeleton hands of [The First Commandment].

"YES, YES, YES! THAT'S IT! CRY IN DESPAIR! THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT!"

"No one should sacrifice their lives for my sake! I don't want to lose anyone again! AAAAGGGHHH!" Lucia seems to have lost it.

"Lucia! Don't worry, I will resurrect Dolly, don't worry, she is still fine! You guys, be careful, don't just recklessly underestimate the boss!"

"Understood!"

I quickly cast [Revive] to Dolly. It didn't take long before Dolly managed to return to the game.

"I got careless, I apologize Bladeheart, it seems our operation is messed up because of me."

"Shush, don't worry too much about it."

Dolly and I are still talking when I suddenly heard someone's laugh. I looked at the ones who are laughing and saw Lucia floating up in the air.

"Hahaha! At long last, I can finally use this! Who would have thought this will be a good chance for me to regain my abilities?"

[The First Commandment] eyes glow when he saw Lucia floating.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU ARE NOT HUMAN!"

Lucia smiled and looked at The First Commandment with sinister eyes that even I who was just watching in the distance felt the chills run down my spine.

"Hoh...so you noticed? Well, congratulations! However, I am not as merciful to someone who just killed my new friend. I am tired of someone dying for my sake. And when you just killed my newfound friend, it seems everything inside me has awakened. You are not worthy to live."

SNAP!

And in a single blink of my eyes, I saw the First Commandment crying in pain as his body is covered in black flames.

"Squirm in pain.. Suffer for Eternity. SOUL FLARE!"
