Slashblade chuckled at Skyblade's disbelief.
"Hah, that's why Boss is Boss. He's got 6,250 HP, that's three times yours! And his movement? Flawless."
Ethan weaved through the battlefield, dodging most of the Flame Draconian's Fireballs with precise footwork. He only took a hit when there was absolutely no way around it, giving Slashblade plenty of time to keep his health topped up.
"You've gotta be joking," Skyblade muttered.
"Less talking, more running. Get back here and help interrupt its spells. Inferno Blast will take out half my health, I don't think Slashblade can heal me fast enough if I take the full hit," Ethan said in party chat.
Even with his dodging, the few Fireballs that did connect were hitting him for over 1,800 damage each. The monster was five levels higher than him, and being pure magic-based, its damage was brutal.
Ethan hadn't had time to collect skill books yet, he didn't even have the druid interrupt skill Skull Bash.
