Boss System Setting

Setting 1: Please choose a Boss strategy. This is a five-man normal dungeon. You can choose one Boss strategy.

Strategy 1: War Support. Summon a group of monsters to fight along with you in the middle of a battle.

Strategy 2: Leadership. Before the fight begins, you have a group of monsters fight along with you.

Strategy 3: Enhanced HP. Increase your HP by 33%.

Strategy 4: Enhanced skills. Increase your skill power by 20%.

Strategy 5: Hidden potential. Hide a skill of your choice and can only be used when your HP is below 20%. This skill will be boosted greatly.

Strategy 6: Trap Master. Set up a trap during a fight that helps you attack the Adventurers.

Xiao Yu gave some deep thought to the choices and decided on Strategy 4. He was a Boss that dealt magical damage, so the HP increase was not useful. Thus, he had to choose between 4 and 5. Considering he only had 3,000 HP, 20% of it would be 600. That would be very risky.

He read through all the strategies again and fixed his eyes on Strategy 2. If the monsters he summoned were tanks, it would be perfect for him too. He decided to choose Strategy 2 first to see what the options were.

System prompt message: According to your past story plot, you can hire the following followers.

1. Goblin Squad. It is a squad made from 3 Goblin Warriors and 2 Goblin Scouts.

2. Goblin Worker Party. A group containing 4 Goblin Slaves and 2 Goblin Overseers.

3. Troll. A lost Troll.

4. Black Rock Orc team. A team of three Black Rock Orcs.

5. Fire Element (Elite). An element from the Fire Elemental Plane. Note: choosing this option will ban your Summon Fire Element skill.

There were many options, but they were very normal. It would not really help in a fight. The only Elite monster had its own restriction…

Since elemental monsters were typically much stronger than normal monsters, he chose the Fire Element.

System prompt message: You have chosen the Fire Element as your follower. It will appear when you fight with Adventurers.

Setting 2: Please design your Boss speech.

As a Boss, he needed to have something to say to the Adventurers when a fight occurred. It could not be improvised, thus it had to be set beforehand.

The different parts where a Boss' speech was needed were when he made his appearance, changing of stages, using skills, enraged, taunting, or dying. It could either be customised by players or defaulted by system.

Xiao Yu was not so free now, thus he let the system settle everything.

Next, he had to choose what skills to use. Unlike an open Boss, a dungeon Boss could not use all the skills he wanted. The amount of Adventurers in the dungeon and the difficulty determined how many skills the Boss could use.

Since it was only a five-man normal dungeon. Xiao Yu could only choose three skills.

It was settled very fast as he did not have many skills to begin with and one was banned.

He chose Flame Missile Storm, Wind Barrier, and Secondary Fire Ball Spell.

System prompt message: Skills have been selected. Your data is auto correcting. Auto correct completed.

All skills equipped by Boss in the dungeon will be auto corrected to prevent any potential bugs.

[System prompt message: Flame Missile Storm's cooldown is extended to 20 seconds.]

[Secondary Fire Ball spell: Secondary Fire Ball Spell's power is raised.]

[System prompt message: Wind Barrier can be activated forever. Can only be used when HP below 30%.]

"Not bad," Xiao Yu thought to himself.

Since the fight had not begun yet, Xiao Yu started observing the Adventurers. It was a reasonable team combination.

A Mage, a Priest, a Warrior, and two Hunters. It was very standarded.

The Warrior had the highest level of 21. One Hunter was the lowest, 17. It was still okay against a level 18 Boss.

Since the Adventurers were ready, a Goblin jumped on the stage and picked up a microphone.

Goblin Mecee said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Orcs and Goblins. Monsters of West Wild. Welcome to the Death Arena. This is a place tainted with blood. Who will be our prey today? Look, they are Adventurers from Storm City! They have stepped on our land and they need to face death as consequence. Or is it possible for them to last through the war and get the loot?! Just wait and see!"

The goblin hit a gong with a small stick and the dungeon officially started.

"Hey, Big Bro. Are we okay?" the level 17 Hunter asked. It was his first time entering a dungeon, so he was very nervous.

"Relax, I've checked the strategies on the forum. We can win if we cooperate!"

Big Bro held up his well-made shield and said, "I will tank all the damage, just focus on attacking. Hunters can take on weak monsters yourselves. No worry! Be prepared, guys, it is beginning soon."

In an instant, a group of Kobolds appeared in the arena.

They were just level 5 Kobolds and did not look like they could survive against the Adventurers.

"Let us go! Help!" The Kobolds started screaming when they saw the Adventurers. Even they knew that it was impossible for them to win the fight. The onlooker monsters laughed and showed no sympathy to the Kobolds.

"They seem weak!" the Hunter said as he fired an arrow. It hit a Kobold and killed it.

In less than two minutes, the group of Kobolds was killed.

"It's really easy," the Hunter said happily. "It's not a challenge at all."

The Warrior shook his head and said, "Don't let your guard down. It's just a warm up. The following waves will be harder."

Indeed, the second wave was two level 14 Orcs. They were much stronger than the Kobolds, but the result was the same. They were killed easily. The third wave was a pack of wolves. It was slightly harder this time, and the Priest used one third of his MP.

Big Bro said, "Drink potions now! A Boss appears every three waves!"

A deep, hollow voice surfaced in the air. A Tauren jumped out of nowhere and shouted, "Useless! I will end all of it now!"

Aristotle (Tauren Berserker) yelled, "I'm Tauren Aristotle, your doom!"

Goblin Mecee said, "Look! It's the Tauren warrior from the land of Karimdo! He has killed many Adventurers during his journey. Facing this group of well-equipped Adventurers, how will he perform? Let's find out!"
