The group silently entered the dark room, a hazy fog limiting our vision further in the darkness. A large monster lay on a weird throne, it's eyes glowing red in the darkness. It jumps out at us, roaring, and the room lights up, the walls, floor, and ceiling turning into colidascope rainbows. A red gem appears above the boss's head, and his name is shown: Manticoris, lord of the Kobolds. The Kobolds must have been the enemies we were fighting off before. Four health meters appear next to him, all full, and three Kobold sentinels appear in front of him. He had the body of a lion, and the head of the human. When he snarled at us, it seemed as though it had three rows of teeth. Then, all of the enemies charge at us, not wasting a second.
"EVERYONE STICK TOGETHER!" Titan roared, and the players pushed forward, a late wave of people. One of the sentinels stabbed a player in he chest, then someone cut both its arms and stabbed it through the head. The player that was stabbed shook for a few seconds, then exploded into dust and died. More XP and gold for me, I think and laugh. The boss charged up a special attack and swiped through the crowd with his massive clawed paw. Everyone that made contact died. Damn! We're too low levels... The original sao players- i begin to think when a new wave of 3 sentinels appears. I lop ones head of and it explodes. I help someone fight another, but get cut on the arm and lose 1/4 of my health. -they waited a month to beat this boss. We are sooooo not ready ! I think, then run at the boss, ducking a slash from his sword and stabbing up at his arm. He roared, trying to stomp on me, but I rolled out then cut his ankles. Archers fired a large volley of arrows that toon away a full health bar and a half away. Only two to go, because the hits from us had brought it down halfway so far in addition to that. The boss had his full attention on me, about to strike, when I tried to cut his leg but he stepped back and brought his mouth down, teeth bared. I was about to die. But, a large CLANG was heard above me, and I saw that the girl from before and Kaanan were using there swords to block the large sharp teeth of the creature.
"Now!" They both yelled, signaling most of the swordsman to slash at the boss's back. It roared and another health bar went down. Now he was in the red and last health bar. He roared and threw his head from side to side, sprouting a pair of wings. His tail grew a large barb, and, slashing around wildly, he took out five unsuspecting players and jumped to the ceiling. Over half of the players we had with us originally were gone.
"C-come on!" I yell to Kanaan and the girl, and we run away from the rest, taking time to recover. Kanaan is full of health, but the girl is 3/4 down. I hand her two minor healing potions and drink one myself. After were recovered, another man joins the fight from the boss doors, having no weapons or armor equipped. He gets them both on quickly though, looking towards the fight. He must be very late... I think. He draws his swords, a final wave of three more sentinels appears and charges the front lines. Titan screams when he sees the man:
"HARUTO!" He was being attacked by one of the minions.
The new man, Haruto, screamed back "I GOT YOU!" And charges two skills, one on each of his swords. He chose dual wield as well. "Midnight curse! Starlight Slash!" Then he unleashes both on the minions, saving Titan. They begin to talk when a large green light appears. An archer - a woman - charges a skill and fires it at the boss. The girl had mages covering her, and she looked over to Titan and Haruto, yelling over the noises of the fight as she charges her next attack.
"Get moving! I have your guys' back!" Then the boss charges at the two, snarling. It only had half of a health bar left. The two nod at eachother, and sprint towards the boss, fighting it.
"Come on, guys!" I yell and charge my swords, joining the fight to kill the boss once again, with my friends by my side.
