(next week Monday during the day Universe Guardian Online dungeon hallway)

Ishtar (while walking): You know the updates are so weird.

Mazoku: Are they?

Ishtar: Some updates just lead you to a new area but recently they added dungeons and underground passages.

Mazoku: Maybe they want to switch it up for people like us who play it longer. By the way, did you look at what's going to be added?

Ishtar: Nope. Since we recently started making plans to play together more often I thought it be fun to surprise myself.

Mazoku: You used to look at the update notice?

Ishtar: Yeah but it was to see what new bosses would be released.

(in front of a door)

Mazoku (after they stop walking): Why are there roots on the door?

Ishtar: Think it could be a plant boss? (look at Mazoku) Something on your mind?

Mazoku: Remember fighting that dark elf last week?

Ishtar: Oh yeah. I remember that day.

Mazoku (worry): I didn't mean to bring back any bad memories.

Ishtar: Let's get back to the topic. Did you notice something?

Mazoku: I think that worker showed us a sneak peek of the update.

Ishtar: What? Having the boss change into another race?

Mazoku (walking to the door): Not that. I have a feeling the new place that just got unlocked today will involve nature and plant monsters.

(boss room)

After entering the door suddenly closes before being covered by vines. A plant-eating boss appears from the grass showing its five health bars but when it roars Ishtar notices her magic attack spells are locked.

Mazoku: Wow. We got an eating plant.

Ishtar (after noticing): We have a problem.

Mazoku (look at Ishtar): What problem?

The boss charges at them but Mazoku turns around in time before they jump away dodging its attack. After the boss stopped it extended its arm so they unsheathed their weapon to block but they were pushed to a wall.

Mazoku: This one is fast.

Ishtar (using one sword): I wish I could use fire magic on this plant but my magic attacks are locked.

Ishtar unsheathed her other sword to cut the eating plant's arm to break free before she soon disappeared while running to the side. Suddenly its other arm was cut setting Mazoku free before the boss got hit from different angles making it lose its first bar.

Mazoku (landing after gaining some distance): So you can't use magic?

Ishtar (appear near Mazoku): I can use support but no attack magic.

Mazoku: This must be a new skill for boss plant monsters.

Ishtar: It's going to be hard for people with the main magic class to fight the boss. Hopefully, they have a weapon subclass.

Mazoku: Hey can I try that thing I made?

Ishtar (taking a sp potion): You finish it?

Mazoku: I finish it before the update. Did you use that speed magic?

Ishtar: Yeah. It's easier than using my wings for this fight but I wanted to try a new skill.

Mazoku: Don't mind covering me?

Ishtar (putting a defense buff on herself): Of course. (after taking a few steps) Continues wind.

While Ishtar charged ahead dodging the boss's attack Mazoku looked through his equipment screen before switching the design of his katana. The katana has two holes in the blade and an open magazine in the handle.

Mazoku (after taking out a red ammo mag): Ready.

Ishtar (in the middle of a mid-air backflip after dodging): Finally.

After landing Ishtar stabbed her sword into the boss's head making its hp reach halfway on the second bar before spikes appeared pushing her to the ceiling leaving a paralyse effect. Mazoku suddenly appears near the eating plant to immediately put that red mag in the handle making fire appear on the blade before unleashing an upper diagonal slash. That attack made the boss's second health bar disappear before Ishtar fell.

Mazoku (catches Ishtar after the boss went underground): You could have dodged that.

Ishtar (while Mazoku uses the antidote potion): Well I didn't expect a surprise attack. (standing after Mazoku put her down) Is that your new creation?

Mazoku: It took me forever to perfect it but this katana uses elemental mags to deal damage to an opponent. However, it's long switching mags to use a different element.

Ishtar (at the same time they dodge the boss attack): So it's still a work in progress?

Mazoku (both landing after Ishtar does a mid-air cartwheel): Yeah.
