...… Grr! The Werewolf Boss growled at Shin the moment it heard the latter words; it was as if it could understand what this human had said. It was even noticeable on its face that this monster was quite annoyed at it. But unlike what it did to others, attacking almost instantly after being provoked, the werewolf just looked at Shin and the other two with eyes that were full of caution. Even if the monster boss was confident in its own strength, it still was not to be underestimated this trio as the threat that they were giving was entirely different to any of the players in this place. Or be more precise, they were the only ones that could put a threat on it. Seeing that the werewolf boss was looking at them like that, Shin couldn't help but curve his mouth and said. "Looks like this monster is quite intelligent, Huh?" Simba smirked after hearing that and said to Shin. "Heh! Of course, it needs to be more intelligent compared to the other monsters. Because if it is not, then it will not live up on its name as the last wave boss monster of the day." Shin shrugged his shoulders before asking. "So, are you going to tank this dog?" Then he looked at the golden bear not far from him and added. "We can't use this big guy as the main tank after all. That dog has a very fast movement speed so it will just toy with this bear for its slowpoke speed." "We could just leave this guy to protect Cloe, while she is giving us some assistance. I can also leave my pet Blackie here, for assurance. We will not know if they are some b*st*rds in the vicinity that will mess up with our places." Then he turned his head back at the monster werewolf once again before continuing. "Since with your heightened senses, you could at least react to that dog's movements and respond to it accordingly." Hearing Shin's words, Simba could only shrug his shoulders and agreed. "Well, if you already put it that way, then let's go with that. Though I am really not used to tanking monsters, being the sub-tank is more suitable to me." Shin smirked hearing that and sneered. "Aren't you already used to this kind of battle? You are a famous player after all." Simba shook his head and rebutted. "That is different. What I mean is I am not used to being the center of the party. Or to be more accurate, I am not used to being involved in a party play as I've always been a solo player. You can already tell it based on the plans that I made earlier right?" Shin shrugged his shoulders for another time before starting to walk towards the werewolf while saying. "Anyway, you can start learning it now. We are going to do a bunch of party plays from now on. Especially during these occasions." At the same time, he also summoned Blackie and ordered it to protect Cloe as Simba and him were going to become busy. Seeing that the two of them were ready to make their moves, Cloe started chanting out some prayers to give them a bunch of holy buffs. Protective auras, weapon strengthening, stat boost and others; these were the stats that she granted at them. And when Shin and Simba felt those buffs casted on their bodies, they immediately charged at the werewolf without further ado; with the former being in front of the latter. The werewolf boss, on the other hand, released a deafening roar before starting to rush forward to greet the too. Meanwhile, the other players in the vicinity couldn't help but shook their heads the moment they saw that scene unfold. They were had the same thoughts running in minds when they discovered that they were really planning to face the monster boss with the three of them alone. – "Are those guys crazy!? Didn't they see how that monster slaughtered a lot of guys already? Yet they want to face it with the three of them alone? That was beyond going mad!" – The players were thinking that the trio had gone insane. ... As Shin and the werewolf boss approached each other, both of them seemed to be gauging the distance between the two of them. And when they were a few meters away from one another, the corrupted monster boss suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight before reappearing right in front of Shin with just a blink of an eye. And right after appearing, the monster boss quickly swung both of its claws at Shin. Roar! And when the players watching a few distances away saw that sight, they couldn't help but closed their eyes as they were able to imagine what was about to happen. Or at least, that was what they thought until something unexpected unfold right in front of them. Shin suddenly disappeared in front of the werewolf boss, making for the attack of the latter to miss its mark. And on the very next instant, Shin reappeared behind the werewolf boss before swinging both of his sabers at the back of the corrupted monster while throwing a combination of 'Destructive Slash', 'Solar Cut' and 'Triple Slash' in a swift and flawless manner. Shin executed that skill combo in a very fast motion that even created an illusion that he lost both of his arms. What's more, he managed to do it in just a matter of seconds; the spectating players that kept their eyes open didn't even get a glimpse of what he had done. And after throwing that sword skill combo, Shin quickly disappeared from his spot for another time with the use of 'Void Steps'. Then he reappeared at the air few meters away from his previous location. And that was also the time when the werewolf boss turned around to swing its claws as Shin. Unfortunately, that was already too late as its target already escaped from that spot. The werewolf boss became enraged when it saw that its attack failed for another time. It released another roar before intending to chase after Shin. But it forgot about something, its back was now facing Simba who was following closely behind Shin earlier. And naturally, the War God was not going to let his opportunity go to waste, he quickly held his battle-axe with both of his hands as he took a swinging posture during his run. Then he hopped forward, ramming his shoulder at the back of the werewolf and pushed the latter to stumble forward. At the moment when Simba's feet landed on the ground, he quickly swung his battle-axe in a very powerful manner and circular motion. 'Self-Created Skill (Personalized): Circle Swing: Destruction' Swoosh! The werewolf was just about to regain its balance at that time, but before it could stabilize its footing, the Simba's battle-axe already landed on the side of its waist! BANG! ZOONG! Despite possessing a large size, the werewolf boss was sent flying by that powerful swing helplessly. There was even a sonic wave sound accompanying the flight of the monster. As for the damage that he dealt? It didn't need to be questioned. Given Simba's strength together with the buffs that were given by Cloe, plus the bonus armor break special effect of Shin's 'Solar Cut' skill, it was natural for that swing to deal and even stronger damage than the combined damage that Shin had dealt earlier. Seeing that sight, the players watching the battle in a distance, had their jaws dropped so low and almost touching the ground. Their eyes were even opened so widely as if they were about to fall from their sockets. But the surprise didn't end just yet. The werewolf boss was sent flying in the direction where Shin was about to fall. And when he saw the incoming monster, Shin quickly kicked the air below him using the 'Mondi's Jump' legacy skill, elevating himself a little higher in the air. At the same time, he was accumulating an opposing mana on each of his sabers. And the werewolf boss was about to arrive at the spot below him, the accumulation of mana on each of his sabers already reached their peak. Having the fully charged powers of the Black Sun and Silver Moon on each of his sabers, Shin quickly swung the both of them downwards, right before the werewolf boss got passed below him. And together with it, two kinds of crescent sword waves with opposing colors were released from each of his sabers before intervening with each other and creating a rotating cross-shaped sword wave with grey color. 'Self-Created Skill (Combined): Eclipse Cross' Swoosh! That cross sword wave traveled incredibly fast downwards and landed exactly at the body of the werewolf boss who was about to fly past below. Bang! Boom! The werewolf boss was smashed on the ground by that cross sword wave after getting hit. And right after that, that corrupted monster boss was suddenly devoured by a powerful explosion with intervening elements of ice and fire as that cross sword wave was exploded. Shin was not afraid of showing this skill to the others using his current identity. Because from what he saw and learned so far, Sword Qi related skills were quite famous to swordsman class. So, using a skill or two of this type would not harm him much as long as he didn't overdo it and used the rest of his skills of the same type. Meanwhile, the werewolf boss bounced off the ground after that powerful explosion. Seeing that, Shin immediately kicked the air with another 'Mondi's Jump' to send himself falling towards the ground. And during his descend, he was also swinging one of his sabers downwards, targeting the werewolf boss below him. He even left a trail of light on his path as he traveled so fast towards the ground. 'Extra Skill: Falling Lightblade' Shing! Bang! The werewolf boss was smashed on the ground for another time when that downward slash landed on its body, especially when that attack was accompanied by gravitational force. After landing yet another strike, and when his feet touched the ground for another time, Shin quickly leaped backwards while also doing a back-flip in the air. And in the very same moment that Shin had done that, a pillar of golden light fell from the sky and landed on the werewolf boss, implanting the monster boss further on the ground. 'Holy Magus Skill (Tier 2): Divine Smite' Bang! The werewolf boss received massive damage after getting hit by that attack, especially when that skill possessed a holy element that was a bane of corrupted monsters. But the assault was not done yet. Because right after that pillar of golden light, a huge double-headed hammer was formed in the air before falling towards the werewolf boss immediately after its materialization. Swoosh! 'Holy Magus Skill (Tier 2): Divine Hammer of Light' And since the execution of this skill was so fast that the hammer was already falling towards the werewolf right before the pillar of light dissipated, the monster boss failed to react in time and got hit by it helplessly. Boom! And if the pillar of light earlier just dealt a huge amount of damage, then this hammer of light didn't only surpass the damage earlier but also paralyzed the body of the werewolf entirely and made it unable to move its body. But the suffering of the poor dog didn't just end there as Simba was currently falling from the sky and descending towards the werewolf. What's more, the threat level that he was currently giving was even higher than the golden hammer of light earlier. 'Destroyer Skill (Tier 2): Descent of the Beast King' And since the werewolf boss was currently paralyzed by that attack earlier, it was impossible for it to dodge this incoming attack. BOOM! An explosion was created when Simba descended at the werewolf boss while also sending a powerful shockwave in all directions which also created a cloud of dust covering himself. And when the that cloud of dust settled down and revealed Simba once again, the sight of him standing on top of the werewolf boss while staring down at the latter, gave chills at the backs of every players watching from the distance. – "Just Who heck is the real monster here?" – ...…
