Stepping on the roof, everyone saw a gruesome sight, numerous corpses were piled alongside the edges, forming small hills. Blood could be seen everywhere and bits of flesh were floating in blood puddles. Beast put a hand on his mouth to stop himself from vomiting, the others did not fare much better, they all felt sick to their stomachs upon witnessing such a scene. In the middle of the rooftop was a huge magic circle that was drawing mana from the surrounding crystals, the blood and corpses were being pulled by it, scattering into pieces whenever they touched it.
A huge figure could be seen in the middle of the circle, the group could only see his huge muscular back. Hearing them the figure slowly turned around to face them.

"So you are the worms that destroyed my beloved minions." He spoke with a deep voice filled with hatred. Standing 2.4 meters tall, the chieftain put an incredible amount of pressure on them, muscles were bulging everywhere on his body, and his arms alone were thicker than those of an average person's legs. His shaved head was filled with scars, as was his face, his whole body actually was like that, a testament to what he had to survive to become what he was today.
"My goblins, hobgoblins, my captains, and even Torkyal, you little maggots actually dared to kill all of them and disturb me!!" His voice was low at the beginning of the sentence, in the end, however, it turned into a shout that made their ears ring.
Picking up a huge hammer with a spike on one end, he slowly walked towards them, the magic circle slowly dissipating around him.
"The magic circle has been turned off my lord, we can begin again at a moment's notice, the corpses of these 5 men will be highly beneficial to it." A goblin came out from behind one of the corpse hills and bowed to the goblin chieftain.

"Not only a level 10 boss but a level 9 enemy too, shit, this is going to be harder than we thought guys." Reign cursed while looking at the two goblins in front of them, the chieftain was huge and incredibly imposing, while the shaman was just a tad taller than a normal goblin and was a bit hunched. Holding a wooden staff in his hands, he looked like an old man that couldn't harm anyone, but just by looking at his name and the incredible amount of the spirit stat he had Reign knew they were dealing with a magic user, physical ability was worthless for them.
"We should probably deal with that guy first, types like him probably don't have a lot of defence and hp, his close combat ability should be quite low as well." Shadow says while looking at the shaman, him and the others knew that the faster they manage to kill the shaman the better it is for them.
"That's easier said than done, the big guy definitely will give it his all to stop us from doing that." Wolf said immediately after Shadow, the basic tactic of dealing with long-range attackers first was something everybody knew, even the weakest of foes like the normal goblins.
"I know, but if me and Beast try at the same time I think we could make it, listen this is what I thought of doing." Shadow quickly told them his plan of dealing with the shaman, making the others widen their eyes in wonder.
"That should work." Wolf nodded his head in agreement as they got ready to face the approaching chieftain.
"I don't want you interfering at the beginning, only do so if needed." He told the shaman standing behind him before continuing towards them again.
"Yes, my lord." The shaman gave another bow before moving to the side to observe the fight.
"Turning down help, this guy really is underestimating us." Tank had a displeased look on his face as he looked at the chieftain, cracking his neck he told the others. "I'll use my rush on him first, you guys attack him like we did to that captain before, alright?"
"Yeah, we can go with that." Reign nodded in agreement as he walked towards the right side, Wolf took the left, and Tank charged forth in the middle.
"Remember the plan Beast, we need to do this correctly for it to work," Shadow told Beast who he was charging an arrow.
"Don't worry, I got it," Beast said with a serious expression.
Greenie slowly moved towards the chieftain with the wolves on his sides, watching the chieftain he gulped in nervousness as he knew the strength and terror the being in front of him possessed.
"So one rebelled huh." The chieftain Groll took a look at Greenie before focusing on the enemies approaching him, even though it angered him to see one of his own attacking him, he dismissed him, as his strength wasn't enough to be a threat.
Bull Charge!
Tank charged forth with the bull around him, with the berserk set equipped he was stronger than before, and the illusion of the bull looked a bit more real.
"Not bad, but that won't be nearly enough!" Groll shouted as he swung his huge hammer with both hands. "King's glory."
Groll calmly said as a black figure materialized behind him, mimicking his posture of swinging the hammer.
Bam!
The hammer and shield connected, while Groll's huge hammer got pushed back together with his hands, Tank was actually the one at a disadvantage as he slid back almost 2 meters, his shield bent a little in the middle and his hands shaking from the impact.
Lightning stab
Flame slash
Wolf and Reign attack immediately after the moment of impact, trying to injure the boss before he can do anything, but Grolls simply swung his hammer at Reign while the phantom behind him swung at Wolf.
Clang
Fire and lightning exploded from the sides as both of their attacks got blocked. The power behind Groll's swing was enormous, and the phantom behind him seemed to have the same amount as well.
Swish
Shadow suddenly threw his two daggers at Groll, while a second later, Beast released a fully charged arrow towards the shaman.
"Impudent!" Groll shouted as he coated his hand in black mana to block the daggers, extending his other hand with the hammer he moved the phantom to hit the arrow in the nick of time, making it change its course and miss the shaman.
Tank charges forward again, using his new skill to boost his power.
Blood Frenzy!
Tank's body suddenly started emitting a blood-red aura, his muscles bulging visibly as he charged forth, at the same time he used his ability to the max, hardening his body.
Muscle Pump
Lightning Movement
Wolf and Reign both used their skills as they charged towards the boss again. Tank jumped up as he brought his axe down on the boss
Bam!
The boss managed to block the strike, although with some difficulty as his arm visibly shook from the contest of power, Tank used his shield to try and pommel his face but it got blocked by Groll's palm. The two figures struggled before Tank's momentum from the jump dissipated, using his strength, he managed to push himself backward as Wolf and Reign arrived to fight the boss for a second round.
Wolf used his now-heavy sword to fight the phantom while Reign with his superior speed fought against the boss. Even though he was much slower, Groll still managed to block every attack and keep him at bay with little difficulty. Greenie arrived with the wolves and attacked Groll who simply kicked, hitting both of the wolves who flew back with a whimper.
"Trying to use some mutts to fight me, don't make me laugh you maggots." Putting his foot down, Groll immediately brought his hammer down at Reign who approached and tried to stab him. Reign immediately jumped to the side to dodge the hammer that left a crack in the ground where he previously stood.
Greenie saw a chance and drew back his fist before punching one of the chieftain's arms with full force.
Shattering Punch
The skin of the chieftain's arm ripped open as the punch landed and left a wound on the spot, blood spurted from the wound and coated Greenie's arm and face. Greenie smiled as he managed to wound Groll, but before he could celebrate, Groll swung his now wounded arm sideways to hit him. Widening his eyes, Greenie immediately put his sword up to block the hit.
Bam!
As the arm connected, he got thrown back, coughing blood from his mouth and kneeling down on one leg.
"Hmph! Little traitorous worm." Groll glances at Greenie for a moment before focusing back on Reign, who had suddenly disappeared. "What?"
Groll said in confusion as he felt a touch on the side of his body.
"Compact"
Feeling pain from his side, Groll widened his eyes and tried to move back
"Punch"
Reign said in a low voice while hitting the chieftain. A loud sound was accompanied by some knockback to Reign's hand, blood and flesh spewing from the left side of Groll who put a hand there and growled in pain.
"You little bastard!" Followed by the sound of wind breaking, the huge hammer was swung with one hand, catching Reign off guard and making him retreat with haste.
"I see, no wonder you managed to defeat Torkyal, you worms do have some strength," Groll said as he looked at them. "But if this is all then it's time to end this."
As soon as Groll finished his words, everyone suddenly felt a suffocating feeling come from him. Holding the hammer with both hands he brought it to his chest and slammed it to the ground.
"Kings fury."
The hammer hit the ground and an incredible amount of mana was released, a huge amount of darkness spewed from the point of impact, cracks formed everywhere on the roof as columns of dark mana shot up.
Reign and the others hurriedly moved around, dodging the columns that kept following them. Wolf slashed one but found no success as the two halves immediately reconnected and hit him in the chest.
Tank used his shields to block the columns that had now turned to tentacle-like forms of mana that continuously attacked them.
"What the hell is this?!" He shouted while moving back, trying to put distance between himself and them.
"Whatever it is it's bad news, how can we block it?!" Shadow shouted while nimbly dodging the attacks thrown at him. Moving backward, he failed to see one behind him and got hit, making him stop in pain. The other vines immediately attacked him, wounding him everywhere.
Swish
Beast jumped up as he dodged an attack. Bringing his bow up, he released another charged arrow towards Groll's head.
Groll lifted his hammer up and deflected it, suddenly all the vines scattered into the air and disappeared.
"As expected, you can't move while using this skill." Beast calmly said as he looked the chieftain in the eyes.
"Hmph, shaman, you may join now." Groll suddenly told the shaman as he lifted his hammer up.
"Understood my lord." The shaman gave a bow and approached him, his staff glowing with a green light.
