⌜Chapter 64⌟

"2 regal mammoths? aren't this monster supposed to be a field type boss monster?"

They couldn't believe their eyes as what they were seeing.

Hosaka couldn't help but bit her lip as she saw this.

"Is this a bug zone?"

She immediately wondered when she saw this. She turned her head and looked at Tanaka who was sitting on top of an abandoned building with a smile on his face.

'He did this on purpose again'

She thought, Tanaka may seem like a very good guy outside, just like those celebrities but as someone who stood beside him for a long time, Hosaka knew how twisted this guys personality is, for him, being pointed by a gun is nothing but an empty threat, just like he said, he doesn't fear anything.

Anyway, she turned her attention back at the battlefield and the second regal mammoth has finally joined the battle, this is really the worse place, Tanaka purposely put them in a bug zone!

A bug zone, ALO maybe a popular game second only to SAO but doesn't mean its perfect, there are still some bugs that are not fixed and maybe, the devs also left it on purpose, no one knew but one of the most popular bugs in ALO are called the Bug Zone.

Unlike its name, it's not actually a place full of bugs but a zone where there are multiple boss monsters. This was a nightmare for players and guilds, a single boss monster is powerful enough, then make it two.

"Everyone split up! Ye Xiu take some men and stall the regal mammoth that is coming up, everyone focus all of your attack power to the boss in front of us!"

Hosaka immediately started giving orders. Ye Xiu immediately took some players with him and made their way towards the Regal Mammoth that had just joined in.

*Boom!

But just as they were running forward, the regal mammoth that juts came immediately sent its regards to them with a powerful attack, its gigantic nose slammed over to them but thankfully, the tanks could react fast and blocked the incoming attack.

"Heal the tanks immediately!"

Hosaka commanded once again when she saw that the tanks that took the damage had their health bar dropped to half with just a single attack of the regal mammoth.

"..."

Watching them above with glee, Tanaka felt like he was watching a animal hunting documentary, except that this time, the players were the one getting hunted, kind of a big twist if you think about it, but anyway.

Tanaka didn't just watch them suffer, but was actually looking at their weakness, for example, players who are not working together and others who are having a hard time following the orders of the commander.

Tanaka could see them all and then started planning training routines inside his head, after all, the best way to see your weakness is to fight someone stronger than you, this is what Tanaka learned after fighting in SAO for a lot of years.

Though, even if the guild members are having a hard time, they are still couping up with the monster and steadily lowering its health bit by bit.

"Oh? its going to drop to 50%"

Tanaka immediately stood up from his seat and jumped away, and after he crossed about 100 meters away from them, he stopped, and turned his headback and was just in time to see the Regal Mammoth that had its Health Bar drop 50% and its skin turning red.

*Roar!

The regal mammoth roared from its nostrils and smoke came out as if it was overheating, flames covered the skin of the regal mammoth and its size also started to get bigger.

This is the final stage of the regal mammoth, its not called a boss monster for no reason, the regal mammoth raised its hoofs and smashed it on the ground.

*Boom!

A powerful shock wave came as it slammed its hoofs on the ground, creating large cracks on the ground and blowing away the players near it, making the formation they had broken.

"Sheeesh, they are going to be wiped out if this continues"

Tanaka couldn't help but whistle as he watches them, about 20% of the players have died from that attack.

"Revive the dead priest!"

Hosaka was fast to move and immediately commanded the priests with revive spell to revive the dead players.

"Yes!"

"Tanks! protect the priest! don't let them get the aggro!"

The priests moved to the dead players while they were being protected by the tanks, the regal mammoth turned its eyes towards the priest that are reviving the dead players but before it could move, its attention shifted as multiple taunts from tanks came at it at once.

The aggro system of the ALO is simple, players receives aggro whenever they attack, or get too close, taunt skills or in case, use revival skills or even some skills such as healing, Tanaka made this system so that players will take aggro into account and makes the healers be wary of their movement because if they are not careful, they won't know that the monster they are fighting with already has its attention towards them.

The tanks successfully got the aggro of the regal mammoth but there is something that they did not take into account of their plant which is a big mistake Hosaka made.

There are 2 regal Mammoths.

*Boom!

It was too late when the players realized what just happened, the other regal mammoth that was Ye Xiu in charge of charged towards the priests that are reviving the dead players and started wrecking havoc.

This also caused the players formation to be destroyed and some players panicked.

"Ye Xiu try to retake the aggro! priests stop reviving! tanks formation!"

Hosaka is still giving commands at the back lines, but clearly this fight is giving her too much pressure as she was already sweating as she kept her eyes on the field.

But it was no use as the regal mammoths have killed all the front lines and was charging towards the back lines and what gave her even more shock is that another regal mammoth has arrived.

'This... can this even be defeated?'

Hosaka couldn't help but wonder in helplessness as she looked at the charging mammoths.

"Ara~ Ara~ I guess its time for me to step in"

She then heard a familiar voice.
