"Everyone, recover for now. I’ll explain the method to raid Gibli in a moment." Yone wanted everyone to ease up mentally first.
It would not be easy to face off against Gibli since he wasn’t like the other monsters, and they already had enough training on mental strength, so any more would only be harmful and not beneficial in the slightest.
The boss was complicated. It was by no means an easy feat to achieve, as he possessed a particularly annoying ability- his long sword- that could lead to a team wipe, causing significant trouble. Additionally, his weapon was of high grade, having a higher critical damage rate.
The fight would require a high degree of concentration because a single mistake would cause everyone to be buried together. The boss was just that hard!
Hearing Yone’s command, everyone sat down to recuperate. They ate and drank to recover to their best state, whether in terms of mana or mental health, as the pressure they exerted in these ten hours was so taxing on them.
Things could get really messy if the tank fell to his sword attack and got hit by it! But unlike the Regular Goblin, which is the second boss, the Goblin Elite, the final boss, is incredibly mobile and a solo boss without any annoying waves. Hence, if they avoid his sword, the fight is smooth sailing, if not then...
Seeing everyone recovered and in a completely good shape, Yone started explaining the boss fight," Gibli, unlike the second boss, who was solely relying on his waves of monsters, this one relies totally on his own strength. He basically only has two attacks you have to be wary of, one of them is his sword slash, whether it be vertical or horizontal, he would slash with his 10-meter sword targeting any player or direction with his attack being unstoppable and undefendable, meaning that you have to dodge it."
"His second attack is berserk. Giblin would go into a rage state for 10 seconds and ignore all agro by teleporting behind our casters and trying to one-shot them in the blink of an eye. Dodging this attack is easy but also hard, our casters need to follow his eye movements at all times, and the moment he locks eyes with you is the moment he is targeting you with the berserker skill, so you have to sidestep to the side and run at full speed."
Hearing his explanation, everyone felt that the boss is really easy and not hard in the slightest, but they couldn’t help but have some questions on whether his words were truly that’s all to it.
"Party leader, you sure he only has two skills?" Life couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow to Yone’s explanation.
"Yes, I’m sure, rest assured everyone and follow my lead. I have done this as a beta tester multiple times," Yone casually lied as he readied his two daggers. His focus was primarily on the True Ice Dagger as the other dagger was pretty much useless, but just placing it for the extra stats since any plus stats at this level matter a lot.
Realization dawned on everyone after hearing Yone’s words, they had always felt that he knew too much since he described every fight as it is, with perfect commands and read on the entire fight.
They had even harbored the absurd thought that he was truly a hacker, but after his words just now, they finally understood where his information came from.
’So he is a beta tester, a selected few tens of people who got to test the game before its release. No wonder he is this knowledgable and ahead,’ Silent Wall couldn’t help but have a feeling that Yone would be his ticket to success.

"Silent Wall, tank the boss for the first 10 seconds and then move behind Calm Sea while placing your shield to protect her back, Rage, and Swift Slash. I want you to focus solely on dealing damage and dodging his sword slash."
Yone gave the orders with everyone nodding before Silent Wall stepped ahead and used his agro skill called Taunt.
"Do not hit for the first three seconds, and healer, also don’t use any buffs or heals." With the final command, the three seconds passed with Silent Wall taking damage on the tens without a threat to his HP reaching zero in the slightest.
When three seconds had passed, everyone burst into action as Yone left his absolute sleath and appeared behind the boss instantly using his active dagger skill, dealing terrifying damage...-500...Critical Hit!...477!...
Life also used her Cheap Shot skills and dealt three consecutive attacks in the blink of an eye, despite her damage that was in the tens with a 15 damage max, it still felt incredibly good given the low health of the boss.
80%...75%...69%...
Just as the fight was going smoothly, with the boss’s HP plummeting at a terrifying rate in just two minutes, Giblin suddenly locked eyes with Calm Sea and vanished.
An instant later, he reappeared behind Silent Wall, who stood like an iron wall with his shield raised, ready for anything. Calm Sea exhaled in relief, reassured by their tank’s presence, only to realize, too late, that something was very wrong with the Goblin Boss.
"Idiot, targeting me instead of Life?" Silent Wall chuckled as he was ready for the several punches he was about to receive, only to hear a yell from Yone.
"Dodge! Both of you, move!" Yone shouted.
Before his words even faded, Giblin lifted his hands in eerie slow motion, as if gripping an invisible sword. A heartbeat later, a massive, spectral black sword, ten meters long, materialized between his palms and came crashing down toward them.
Damnit!
Silent Wall cursed as he jumped to the side, dodging the sword slash by a breath of strand hair, but when he moved his head and looked at their healer, he was terrified to see that Calm Sea stood there petrified on the spot.
