Wind Dungeon (2)
Ahead of them was a level 12 skeleton knight, it wore plated armour while weilding a two handed great sword, it had an eery aura around it as it stared down the party.
Lem had yet to meet a skeleton knight in his previous dungeon raids but he had expected that a new opponent would appear before them since this was hell mode.
Bam!
The skeleton knight stomped it's foot before getting into a stance, it dashed towards the closest player which was Lem who immediately raised his shield to block the incoming attack.
Bam!
With one swing Lem was sent back two meters but remained standing, even with his level advantage of 3 levels, the skeleton knight was simply too powerful since it was an upgraded mob and plus the fact that the dungeon difficulty is hell mode.
"We'll do the same thing with the golem, get ready to switch with me!" Lem shouted as he returned to face the skeleton knight who was about to swing his great sword a second time.
Bam!
This time the strength that the skeleton knight had exerted was higher throwing Lem five meters away.
Lem couldn't speak a word since he was having trouble standing up, taking the initiative Zoom went forward to face the skeleton knight who glanced at his direction.
Both parties clashed with Zoom being thrown around like a rag doll, Zoom though had enough determination to keep standing up even when the aching pain was making his hands tremble slightly.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The three tanks took turns blocking the sword strikes while the damage dealers continued to chip away the health of the skeleton knight who had now less than half of it's health.
Argh!
After losing 70% of it's health the skeleton knight entered it's berserk face, a red and black aura enveloped it's entire body with a pair of ruby eyes appeared on it's skull that made eye contact with Lem.
The knight swung his sword with great force, Lem could feel the power that was exerted by the skeleton knight as he realised the he could no longer block such an attack so he tried to duck.
Bam!
Zoom kicked the knight's foot slightly changing the trajectory of the swing upwards giving Lem the chance to dodge such an attack.
Rather than continuing to slash it's sword at Lem, the skeleton knight dashed towards the backline of the party where the healers and ranged damage dealers were standing spamming and throwing their skills.
This sudden change caused for the players to panic as they threw everything they had towards the knight.
Bam!
One member of the party was cut down.
Bam!
With one more swing another player was killed with ease.
The party was in disarray as they lost their formation, the party was scattered messily around the tunnel as the knight continued to kill one player after the other.
"Don't panic, keep attacking the knight, I'll take the brunt of it's attacks!" Lem rushed towards the knight while he chugged a bottle of a potion that buffed his health and defence.
The skeleton knight now focused it's attention at the brave tank that stood in front of it which was Lem.
Making sure that he wouldn't miss out, Zoom rushed towards the knight and activated his loot aura.
Bam! Bam!
Lem endured every slash while his damage dealers were close to finally chipping away at the skeleton's health which was now less than 5%.
Argh!
The skeleton knight swung his sword with only one hand in a horizontal manner catching Lem off guard, Lem hurriedly change the position of his shield and was barely able to block the attack and was sent flying back as he crashed against the wall.
'Just a bit more!' Zoom now replaced Lem to take the brunt of the skeleton's attacks.
Bam! Bam!
'You annoying little s***!' Zoom raised his foot backwards then threw a kick with everything he had.

Zoom looked around him to see only eight members left, Lem who was suppose to lead them was nowhere in sight.
"Since our party leader is dead, we should leave." A player suggested, everyone happily agreed as they started to channel a chant that allowed them to leave the dungeon.
***
Outside of the dungeon everyone inside their party were now gathered as they glanced at the loot that was not even enough to give every party member a single share.
Why? Because Zoom took everything! Zoom's loot aura allowed him to get countless beast cores that he was very much excited to consume at a later date.
Due to some unknown reason Lem decided to stop raiding the dungeon for now and called it a day.
Upon arriving at the city Lem immediately sent a private message to his guild leader Winter about the situation which caused Winter to frown deeply upon hearing the news.
***
Now that Zoom had arrived at the city safe and sound he first went to the adventurers guild, their headquarters within the city was a tall skyscraper that looked futuristic with a sign that showcased the adventurers name and their symbol.
Zoom entered the building after passing through a few powerful guards that had auras far powerful even surpassing anyone he knew.
Zoom went to a reception where he asked if there were any quest about getting a purple flower from the Wind Dungeon's hell mode which the receptionist immediately said yes.
He then took out the purple flower and handed it to the receptionist who took the flower from Zoom's hand and after a few moments the receptionist gave Zoom his reward.
[+1,000,000 UC]
[+40 Level 8 Beast Cores]
Zoom's face immediately lit up after receiving his rewards, if Zoom had his party with him he would have to split the rewards between twenty people but luckily he didn't need to share any of the spoils.
