"OWOOOO!"
With Zephyr drawing the creature's attention using his Antagonize skill, Gavric and Rexar swiftly repositioned themselves to protect the rearguard.
Elena, in turn, wisely ceased her attacks; mages possessed formidable attack power, making them prone to inadvertently pulling the aggro of monsters. And they couldn't afford such risks until they discerned the Dungeon Boss's weaknesses and combat mechanics.
BOOOOOM!
The Volturax brought its claws down like multiple guillotines stitched together, gorging out a section of the wall as it targeted the elusive Zephyr, who darted around like an infuriating fly.
Simultaneously, Daisuke and Finnian launched their offensive, while Milo provided crucial buffs from a safe distance.
Daisuke took a deep breath, his expression unwavering as he and Finnian closed in on the fiend's hind legs. It's alright, he reassured himself, his expression controlled. I have pretty decent buffs from my titles.
