Sky Castle Dungeon part 3

Flame Emperor asked loudly, "Oi, you leader brat, what is the frequency of the attack? I can't use this skill again for 10 more minutes."

Williard thought, "What awesome? It's just the power of level and equipment. They all have longer cooldown skills than mine. As long as I can gain both of them, I'll be stronger than these guys. As for the technique, I just need more practice. It's only the third day. There are still four days until the first update. That means eight days in here, Seven, since one day is already over. I have enough time to surpass them."

Meanwhile, the battle against the boss resumed.

As his arrows emptied, Williard started to shoot Fire arrows at the boss, which surprised Metatron as she knew that Archers' skill attacks are energy-based like Gunners, not elemental based. At first, she thought of asking how he got that unique skill book to know whether a specific quest or boss drops it, so that, she can try her luck but then, since they were in the middle of the final boss, she thought of asking him later.

Under Jatayu's assaults, eventually, Dragon King, a blade master, and Notebook, an Assassin died as they were caught under its attacks and were revived by Black Hole and Reed. Seraphim shouted, "Damn. Why did you revive them, now? Only 200,000 HP remained. I told you to save that skill when it goes under 1% to revive Snow Dew and Flame Emperor if anything unexpected happens."

Flame Emperor snorted, "I die unexpectedly under this little monster? That's never going to happen." He raised his Axe immediately and roared. To everyone's surprise, his HP, which is under 30% suddenly recovered to 100% in an instant. Even Williard was surprised to see a high-level Palladin skill appeared on a Guardian.

As the HP of Jatayu getting further depleted to 500000, 400000, 300000, 250000, 200000… a purple aura erupted from it while everyone got a notification.

"Jatayu is in the second berserk state. 300% attack increased."

The Giant bird screech and hit Flame Emperor with the claw taking off more than 55,000 HP in an instant. The two healers and Palladin completely focused on healing him bringing his HP to 94,000 in a minute before it again attacked with the claw taking off another 50K+ HP from him. Flame Emperor roared and used his level 50 skill, increasing his defense by 500% for a minute and spoke, "everyone, attack with everything you've got."

As its HP down to the last 60K, Seraphim and Dragon King died thereby decreasing the DPS of the party. Meanwhile, Drake and Reed were out of mana and their healing went down slow. But still, Flame Emperor somehow managing it by drinking HP potions and Snow Dew, the one who has highest DPS was excellent in her job as always.

Seeing the Flame Emperor can die out any second since his HP losing rate is lesser than the recovery rate as one healer stopped healing because of low mana, Williard sent a private message to the leader of the party, "Seraphim, I can freeze the boss for 20 seconds but only once. Can I use it now?"

Seraphim, who read the message, immediately replied, "Why didn't you tell that sooner. Oh! only once. Okay. Fine. Don't use the skill right now. Without me and Dragon King, the rest of you can't do that much damage in 20 seconds. Let me think about it, first. But are you sure you can freeze it for 20 seconds exactly?"

As Williard affirmed it, Seraphim mumbled, "It must some kind of scroll, a one-time use skill. Time Traveler, if you weren't able to freeze it and we get wiped out, I swear I'll hunt you down to level 1." Then, in a ghost form, he messaged in the party channel, "Reed and Black Hole, how much time until Revive skill cooldown is over."

Black Hole asked, "4 minutes. Do you want me to use it on you, now?" Seraphim replied, "Not right now. Revive both of us when I say it. Time Traveler, you freeze the boss when it reached the last 1%, then all of you must go all-out attack." Metatron and others looked at Williard curiously and wondering, "How is it possible for Archer like him to freeze the Boss? Moreover, if he has such skill, why wait until the end, Why not sooner? Is it some kind of one-time use Scroll?"

As the boss HP downed to 20K, everyone received notification as a deep red aura began to emit from the boss.

"Jatayu is in the final berserk state. 500% attack increased."

Trusting him, as soon as both of them are revived, Seraphim saw everyone came out as he spoke, "now." While the six players, Metatron, Snow Dew, Notebook, Seraphim, Drake and came out in the open and took the best spots in the open to use their skills, Williard immediately dashed 5 meters to the front, then raised his hand and started to conjure an Ice spell in his hand which takes 1 second to form.

Just then, the bird screeched and started to breathe out fire, a cc skill. Seraphim shouted, "No" in a panic as he calculated wrong timing and forgot about this skill that didn't appear for the past one hour.

But just within a fraction of second, he was stupefied as Jatayu's flames that are emitted from its mouth disappeared and was replaced with ice as everything around Williard for 20m was frozen. Seeing Jatayu stayed paralyzed like a statue, Seraphim then shouted, "what you are guys waiting for? Attack with everything you have. We only have 20 seconds."

Initially, everyone was also surprised for a second seeing an Archer using a freeze skill. They don't even saw level 50 above Mages doing it. Getting reminded by Seraphim, they released all of their available attacks wildly without caring for cool down or MP.

18 seconds later, Williard received notification as he sighed, "Wow, it's been nearly 6 hours to complete this dungeon. While I leveled up great but it's because these two high levels are with me. Well, I didn't do much aside from playing around; still, it's a pain to do higher level dungeons. Just leveling up in the wild with my leveling army is best. I don't need to hear someone's orders like now."

"Jatayu is dead. 93264 EXP gained"

"Congratulations, you leveled up"

After 2 seconds, the Frozen floor disappeared as the time is up; it disappeared and left behind a large Treasure chest, which contains the drops. Meanwhile, the five members, Seraphim, Drake, Metatron, Notebook, and Black Hole, each of them received an additional notification.

"Snake Queen Medusa's quest has been completed. Total time took to complete the Quest: 7:53:39. Evaluation: Grade C

EXP gained 1,000,000. 1-gold acquired."

As for Seraphim, the leader of the party and the one, who shared the quest with them, received a follow-up Quest.

"Take the Jatayu crown and give it to the Snake Queen Medusa.

Reward: 40000 EXP, 1000 fame, 1 gold."

As a part of the agreement, Seraphim picked two equipment of gold grade and all the Silver grade equipment from the large chest and put them in his inventory. As for the third one, a Greatsword was put for auction among the other five.

While Snow Dew and Flame Emperor looked uninterested, Williard thought, "Hmm, let's take it with me just in case. After all, my guild has just been formed." Then, he opened his mouth, "Is it compulsory to use in-game currency or I can use credits instead?"
