God's an Adventurer: Volume I

Chapter 48- All Out Attack

The small army-like group slowly approached the designated area in which the scouts had told them the Final Dungeon Boss would be. They were incredibly quiet as the shadow of the loaming creature stood tall over the Dungeon without making a single movement.

Asahi held his hand up signaling that they should stop advancing. The first group including Asahi himself lifted their shields at the creature. Many in this group were simply there due to their tank nature and would be taking most of the beating.

He had wanted a bit more information on the monster to see what they were potentially walking into but according to the scouts, the shadow around the monster prevented them from gathering any information on it, stopping their [Data] skill from working. It would seem they would have to attack it first before they could tell anything about it.

The overall group was made of about 92 people which was a lot more than Asahi thought would be in the campsite to begin with. As of now the first group was made of about 20 or so. The second group had 15 people who would be swapping between the first and second. Thirdly, the hard hitters made up around 35 and the smallest one the fourth group had around 10 people. The group of scouts had rejoined the forces and would probably be split between the second and third forces, as most of them were assassins or archers by nature.

Asahi decided not to put too many of the front line on the back considering most of the forces from the enemy should be attacking from the front. The last group was mostly a safety measure against potentially being attacked from the back. However, if he knows this will be a waste of resources he will order the last group to move up and defend along with them strengthening their front.

He continued holding his hand in place waiting to see if the monster would make any sudden movements. They were close enough for the creature to notice at this point but it looked like it had no intention of attacking until they made the first move.

Aware that they would get nowhere from just standing here he turned his hand into a fist and swiftly lowered it. This was the sign to attack as the first group let out a roar and struck the monster.

It was quicker than they had expected as it immediately raised its arm and swung down at the people below it. Some of them were swung back but most of them managed to maintain themselves on their feet as the shadowy figured emerged.

It was a Centaur from what Asahi could see. This was strange to him considering Centaurs were not just mere brainless creatures, centaurs generally lived in forest areas and mountains if need be. They were also capable of human speech and were not brainless creatures, therefore this creature was intentionally here for a reason or other.

It was large and loamed menacingly over them. It had a helmet with horns resembling those of a goat and wore a light brown fur above his shoulders but nothing around its chest. Near its waist, where it started becoming horse more so than human a refine leather cloth hung around it like a drape of sorts. There was a chain dangling on it and it led towards the weapon it held. It was a giant battle axe big enough to easily clear a couple of their sizes in one fell swoop if need be. It was rough around the edges as though it had seen many previous battles before this one. Around his arms it had dark metal armor that reached up to his elbows. It had symbols that Asahi did not recognize but thought were potentially enchantments placed on it. The eyes that reflected from the helmet were red with hate as it slowly moved towards them. This beast was terrifying in presence and gave a strong dark aura.

The Centaur raised its axe over its shoulder as it began to speak in a deep voice that thundered over them.

"Very well, I have instructions to kill any who wish to fight me. It was wise to bring numbers but perhaps not so bringing so little."
