Despite the losses, it was still impressive, as Malik had carried the crew through the second round.
However, instead of encountering the expected numbers, Zuriel faced a total of fifty opponents—25 Phantom Reef Eels and 25 Jelly Lurkers per wave, amounting to 150 Bronze-ranked Tier 7 magical beasts by the end of the third wave.
That was an astounding 150% increase!
Also, they seemed to possess an extra skill, and based on the power of their abilities, Zuriel deduced that they were all at the Yellow grade, likely at the beginner level. He had anticipated the dungeon familiars to have White-grade, Perfection-level skills, so this was far beyond what he had initially assumed.
In summary, this mode could only be cleared by a large raid party or an Elite Beastmaster with Black Iron-ranked beasts!
