The Desolate Land dungeon was located at an abandoned castle. The inside had a lot of side routes, so first-time runners would often take the wrong path. And for those who were there for experience, they often took the wrong paths on purpose in order to clear the entire dungeon. As for those who were there to set a record, they naturally wanted to take the most direct path to the final BOSS.
Even though Maple Tree's performance still wasn't perfect, there weren't any major mistakes that affected the overall situation, so their journey to the bosses could be considered as having gone smoothly.
After slaughtering their way past all of the normal monsters, as well as the first and second BOSS, the team finally broke into the castle's rear garden.
The garden's condition was similar to the broken-down castle. And waiting here was the final BOSS called Desolate Land Ruler Toya.
Even if their way here had gone by without any mistakes, the final BOSS Toya was still a deciding variable.
This was all because Toya was a BOSS with many skills. He was an abnormal entity with skills from many classes.
Because there were so many skills, it meant that he had a lot of options to choose from. Toya was one of rarely seen NPCs with no fixed attack pattern. When fighting against Toya, each time would be a different experience, so the time needed to kill Toya also depended quite a bit on luck. They had to see what this guy would do this time.
Fortunately, they didn't need to spend time discussing the strategy on how to deal with him. This BOSS tested the players' ability to adapt on the spot.
After rushing into the garden, the five players didn't hesitate and rushed in as soon as they saw Toya.
Their individual set-up was similar to when they entered the dungeon.
Cleansing Mist and Maple Tree, the two long-ranged classes, leapt to the high grounds after entering the garden. Cleansing Mist lifted her cannon and fired an Anti-Tank Missile over. Her pulling was incomparably quick.
Amidst the smoke from the explosion, Toya cursed loudly and then rushed out. He wore a dark red leather jacket and an iron chain around his waist. Hair of all different colors streamed down his head. Toya didn't have an appearance befitting a Desolate Land Ruler and looked more like a rebellious teen.
Toya shot out of the smoke. His figure shook -- Shadow Clone Technique. The fake body stayed in the original position to lure in players, while the real one flashed behind Cleansing Mist.
From a player's analysis, the usage of this instant movement technique to appear next to his target was very fierce.
Standing there, Cleansing Mist looked like she didn't know what had happened, making Maple Tree want to remind her in alarm. But before he could say anything, he heard the repeated firing of a machine gun. Beneath them, Lord Grim had already switched his Thousand Chance Umbrella into the Gun form and a Gatling Gun shot at Toya.
Toya, who was just about to attack Cleansing Mist, was immediately hit by the line of bullets and unable to move. At this moment, Cleansing Mist turned around and used the Gunner skill "Swing" to swat Toya down from the high grounds. She then followed up with her own Gatling Gun, firing at the falling Toya.
Lord Grim's Gatling Gun also followed the falling Toya. The firing from the two players' guns shot out in two lines. It looked as if they were sending Toya down to the ground.
The two's skilled coordination wasn't anything new to Tang Rou and Steamed Bun Invasion. But Maple Tree hadn't seen it in the three runs done the day before and was now staring, dumbstruck. If he wasn't so stunned, as a long-ranged class, he would have also begun firing.
