HP: 250,000/250,000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Light and Hound, do your thing", Zeek ordered and they both nodded
"All of the long-range damager gathered at each side, divide yourselves into two groups." Grid and the others reposition their selves
"Melee Damagers follow me and make sure the boss is facing it's back to the long-range damagers", Zeek ordered and everyone nodded.
But before they can begin the right upper hand of the skeleton who holds the staff made of bones with a red orb moved and created a big array of magic chants, as soon as the team noticed it they changed there gaze from Zeek to await orders.
"This is bad!" Zeek looked at his surroundings and there is no place to take advantage too, meaning that they can only brace their selves and see what the attack is.
"Brace yourselves! make sure that the healers can stay alive" Zeek ordered.
Light then dashed forward to Lilly to guard her against the damage while Hound guarded Healing Ray, The Skeleton Guardian then pounded the base of his staff in the ground, The place started to shake and the floor started to melt.
"I..It's not a spell?", Grid said.
The floor started to melt and lava appeared in front of the team, some of the rocks started to float making the ground unstable.
"Balance yourselves and make sure to look at where your stepping", Zeek said
"This is freaking insane, are we gonna fight the boss with terrain like this?", Grid said.
"Flaming!?, do you have any Ice spells?", Zeek asked.
"All of my skills vanished after acquiring the 2nd job, only flaming spells remain". Flaming Beauty said.
The Boss then started to move and raised the lower left hand holding a giant sword made of bones.
"E...Endless, his doing something!!", Light said.
The team panicked and jumped backward, stepping on the floating rocks, but they are cornered.
"All of you! run towards the door!, Lets retreat first!", Zeek ordered.
"Let me try first!, Endless you watch the boss while retreating", Light said.
"You'll gonna die!," Hound said.
"It's okay, Endless must review the enemies skills first before he can make a plan, someone must sacrifice first", Light said.
As Zeek moved backward, Hound and the others moved forward.
"What are you all doing!?" Zeek shouted.
"They need support to last longer, Don't worry, will just respawn and get back", Dark Instinct said while the other nodded.
Zeek just smiled.
"You dumb idiots!" Zeek shouted and the others only replied with a smile.
The boss raised his long sword downwards damaging both Light and Hound while Healing and Lilith healed them. The Boss then pause for a while then raised his lower right hand wielding the spear and swept the whole floor killing all the healers and magician on the spot.
Zeek noticed something, the boss started to let out steam because of the lava that the boss is stepping in. the melee players tried to make damage but the damage output is 0, the boss then raise the upper left arm holding the bone staff with blue orb and blue magic array appeared on the top of it, he plunged it to the lava floor and the whole place froze including the whole team, but because of the heat , the Skeleton fall supported by its knees and opened the chest part of his body to let the heat out.
"Overheat!" Zeek shouted.
Zeek dashed forward and attack the black orb located on the Skeletons chest.
-2,345
-4,754 (Critical)
-2,732
-4,762 (Critical)
Zeek was shocked on the damage that he dealt, the boss has freaking damage output but its defense is just a joke, they just need to make sure to avoid the boss attack before it overheats. After all his teammates died Zeek retreated back to the door. Zeek stood there looking at the vicinity while his teammates started to be teleported one by one. He started to think of a plan to avoid the Skeleton Guardians attack.
"Just you wait, I'll definitely kill you", Zeek said while the door of the temple started to close
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clad Village
Grids and the others where teleported on the towns temple, as they walked out of the temple Piercing Rose saw them and approached them.
"Do you think we can kill that one?" Hound asked Grid.
"The damage that we dealt is still 0, I think there's some kind of way to damage it like the Reaper boss", Light said.
"Endless will find a way to defeat it, I'm sure of it", Grid said.
As Piercing Rose approached the group she heard everything that the team was talking about.
"Hello, You are Endless team am I right?", Piercing Rose said.
Wolf Hound and his team were shocked to see the War Goddess talking to them.
"Y...You are the War Goddess!", Healing Ray shouted without noticing it.
Grid then covered his Healing Rays mouth.
"Don't shout dude.", Grid said
"S...Sorry" Healing Ray said.
"Do you know where Endless is?," Piercing Rose asked.
"He's on a quest right now, so we don't know his location too," Grid said while smiling.
"Can I add you on my friends' list", Piercing Rose then sent a friend invite to Grid.
"U...Uh sure", Grid then accepted.
"We got to go now, we have something to do", Grid said while smiling
As the team walked away from Piercing Rose, Peppermint approached Rose and asked.
"Why did you add that one!?", Peppermint asked.
"To know the location of Endless", Piercing Rose said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Courtyard of the Dead
Zeek called Grid.
"Grid, I'll send some money to you, buy some frozen arrow and fire arrow, 100 quivers is enough", Zeek ordered
Frozen Arrow are elemental types of equipment that can only be crafted by blacksmiths lifestyle players, every quiver contains 50 pieces of arrows.
"Okay, anything else?", Grid asked.
"Tell Hounds team to buy an fire skill that they can use, they don't have a rare job change like you guys so they can use regular tome, If they see an AOE type of fire skill the better, I'll give you some spare gold so they can buy some skill books", Zeek said.
"Okay, I'll pm you if we are done with the preparations", Grid said.
After 30 minutes of waiting the team arrived and Zeek fetched them in front of the gate.
"So, did you find anything that can help us defeat it?", Grid asked.
"Yap, Just follow my lead",Zeek said
As soon as the team arrived inside the Temples door Zeek told them what to do.
"Grid, I want you to position yourself there", Zeek pointed the wall above the temple doors.
"How?, How can I stay there?, last time I check it's a vertical wall". Grid sarcastically said.
"Put two arrows for you to step in and let Light boost you upward, that's the safest spot for you", Zeek said like it's a given fact.
"You know that your strategies are weird right? other games don't have these kinds of features, so don't say it like it's a piece of common knowledge". Grid said.
Grid then fired two arrows and dashed toward Light, Light then laid his shield 45 degrees on the ground as he let Grid step on it and with force he threw Grid upward until Grid settled on to the two arrows embedded on the wall.
"Grid, you'll be the main key in our victory, as soon as the boss release it's first skill shoot ice arrow directly on the ground in the center front of the boss, make sure that all the melee players will fit. Next is for the long-range damagers, shoot another set of arrows on the left, right and middle 2 meters from the first one you created, the left and the right side will be for the damagers while the middle one is for the healers so everyone can access the support. After positioning, use every fire skill in your arsenal to bombard the chest area of the boss. Are we clear on that?." Zeek explained it to them and all of them nodded.
As soon as the team charged forward, The Skeleton Guardian raised the fire staff again summoning the lava underneath the ground.
"Grid now!", Zeek shouted.
Grid shot 10 arrows creating a small platform made from iced lava, all the melee players jump straight to this platform, next Grid released another set of arrows creating additional platform made of iced lava on the spot that Zeek pointed of before the fight.
"Nice one Grid!, now ready for bombardment!, Use all your skill!"
The team simultaneously release fire skills one after the other, but the damage that they dealt is still 0.
"Nothings happening Endless!", Hound said.
"Just wait for it to overheat!", Zeek said.
The Skeleton Guardian raised the Broadsword that he holds, ready to pummel the team, but its chest is already in smokes.
"Don't worry about the attack! just focus on hitting the chest part!", Zeek ordered.
As the skeleton guardian raises his sword a sudden explosion appeared on its chest opening the rib part and exposing the green large orb.
"All of you! attack the orb now!", Zeek ordered.
After massive damage it received, the Skeleton Guardian regained his composure and closed his chest, After standing up again he raised the Ice staff that it holds, after pounding it straight to the ground the floor started to freeze.
"What now Zeek!", Grid asked.
"Change it to fire arrow and unfreeze the surrounding!", Zeek said.
After unfreezing the surrounding the lava started to heat up the Skeleton Guardian again while the team bombards it with fire damage the Boss collapse again the second time, the team started to get the gist of it and after an hour the Boss Hp reached 0.
"We did it!", Grid said.
"That's an easy one!", Wolf Hound and his team shouted

"Dammit, this job really puts a huge toll on my exp. bar."
Suddenly a dark light enveloped Zeek
"Woah! what is that?,"Grid asked.
"M...My skill leveled up", Zeek said.
"Nice!, is there something new?" Grid asked.
"Light and Hound please arranged the loots, I'll just check my skills first", Zeek ordered.
As the two arrange the piles of equipment on the ground Zeek examined his skills

Hound asked Grid."The damage that we dealt is still 0, I think there's some kind of way to damage it like the Reaper boss", Light said."Endless will find a way to defeat it, I'm sure of it", Grid said.As Piercing Rose approached the group she heard everything that the team was talking about."Hello, You are Endless team am I right?", Piercing Rose said.Wolf Hound and his team were shocked to see the War Goddess talking to them."Y...You are the War Goddess!", Healing Ray shouted without noticing it.Grid then covered his Healing Rays mouth."Don't shout dude.", Grid said"S...Sorry" Healing Ray said."Do you know where Endless is?," Piercing Rose asked."He's on a quest right now, so we don't know his location too," Grid said while smiling."Can I add you on my friends' list", Piercing Rose then sent a friend invite to Grid."U...Uh sure", Grid then accepted."We got to go now, we have something to do", Grid said while smilingAs the team walked away from Piercing Rose, Peppermint approached Rose and asked."Why did you add that one!?", Peppermint asked."To know the location of Endless", Piercing Rose said.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Courtyard of the DeadZeek called Grid."Grid, I'll send some money to you, buy some frozen arrow and fire arrow, 100 quivers is enough", Zeek orderedFrozen Arrow are elemental types of equipment that can only be crafted by blacksmiths lifestyle players, every quiver contains 50 pieces of arrows."Okay, anything else?", Grid asked."Tell Hounds team to buy an fire skill that they can use, they don't have a rare job change like you guys so they can use regular tome, If they see an AOE type of fire skill the better, I'll give you some spare gold so they can buy some skill books", Zeek said."Okay, I'll pm you if we are done with the preparations", Grid said.After 30 minutes of waiting the team arrived and Zeek fetched them in front of the gate."So, did you find anything that can help us defeat it?", Grid asked."Yap, Just follow my lead",Zeek saidAs soon as the team arrived inside the Temples door Zeek told them what to do."Grid, I want you to position yourself there", Zeek pointed the wall above the temple doors."How?, How can I stay there?, last time I check it's a vertical wall". Grid sarcastically said."Put two arrows for you to step in and let Light boost you upward, that's the safest spot for you", Zeek said like it's a given fact."You know that your strategies are weird right? other games don't have these kinds of features, so don't say it like it's a piece of common knowledge". Grid said.Grid then fired two arrows and dashed toward Light, Light then laid his shield 45 degrees on the ground as he let Grid step on it and with force he threw Grid upward until Grid settled on to the two arrows embedded on the wall."Grid, you'll be the main key in our victory, as soon as the boss release it's first skill shoot ice arrow directly on the ground in the center front of the boss, make sure that all the melee players will fit. Next is for the long-range damagers, shoot another set of arrows on the left, right and middle 2 meters from the first one you created, the left and the right side will be for the damagers while the middle one is for the healers so everyone can access the support. After positioning, use every fire skill in your arsenal to bombard the chest area of the boss. Are we clear on that?." Zeek explained it to them and all of them nodded.As soon as the team charged forward, The Skeleton Guardian raised the fire staff again summoning the lava underneath the ground."Grid now!", Zeek shouted.Grid shot 10 arrows creating a small platform made from iced lava, all the melee players jump straight to this platform, next Grid released another set of arrows creating additional platform made of iced lava on the spot that Zeek pointed of before the fight."Nice one Grid!, now ready for bombardment!, Use all your skill!"The team simultaneously release fire skills one after the other, but the damage that they dealt is still 0."Nothings happening Endless!", Hound said."Just wait for it to overheat!", Zeek said.The Skeleton Guardian raised the Broadsword that he holds, ready to pummel the team, but its chest is already in smokes."Don't worry about the attack! just focus on hitting the chest part!", Zeek ordered.As the skeleton guardian raises his sword a sudden explosion appeared on its chest opening the rib part and exposing the green large orb."All of you! attack the orb now!", Zeek ordered.After massive damage it received, the Skeleton Guardian regained his composure and closed his chest, After standing up again he raised the Ice staff that it holds, after pounding it straight to the ground the floor started to freeze."What now Zeek!", Grid asked."Change it to fire arrow and unfreeze the surrounding!", Zeek said.After unfreezing the surrounding the lava started to heat up the Skeleton Guardian again while the team bombards it with fire damage the Boss collapse again the second time, the team started to get the gist of it and after an hour the Boss Hp reached 0."We did it!", Grid said."That's an easy one!", Wolf Hound and his team shouted---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------System: Congratulations to Player Endless and his team, you are the first to defeat Skeleton Guardian, The system will record your accomplishments to the Gods Tablet.
