Bloom wasn't acting heroic, but realistic and cautious. These dungeon monsters proved to be much harder to deal with than he initially imagined.
Those monsters kept attacking him, yet as long as there were only two monsters activating their supreme skills at the same time, he wasn't in any danger at all.
In fact having two activated monsters at the same time was a double edged weapon. For one he had lower damage to these monsters, making them falling beyond their twenty percent Hp take longer time than having one supreme skill only.
Yet having two had this risk all the time of him activating one more monster by mistake, which was something starting to be apparent the longer the battle drew.
After fifteen minutes, his team managed to clear seventy monsters, leaving only around thirty remaining. "Damn, they all have low Hp," he cursed out loud when he saw most of the monsters having their Hp lower than twenty five percent threshold.
Yet he had no other choice but to keep jumping from one side to another, trying to use his dash to stun as many as possible.
While he urged his team to hasten things up, things started to go out of his control eventually.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
All of sudden three monsters roared, adding three more levels to the mix. "Damn, I'm ruined," he was almost on the verge to be stamped to death by the remaining twenty five monsters assaulting him.
"Dash!"
He used his dash to hit the nearest monster to his team. If things reached this far, then he would at least make a last stand with his team, hoping they could flip the tide.
"5000"
This small damage appeared on top of the monster's head before it was thrown off towards the side, flying for a couple of meters before rolling on the ground.
"What the hell?!!" he was astonished and didn't know why this happened, yet he didn't keep his hand anymore.
"Stab." "Stab." "Stab." "Stab." "Stab."
"3000" "3000" "3000" "3000" "3000"
The damage was much lower than ever and that helped him in attacking freely with less pressure. During the next five minutes, his team managed to kill five more monsters, and were almost killing another two.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Three more monsters activated their supreme skills at the same time after receiving Bloom's stabbing sword. He knew this would happen yet he couldn't change the outcome. After all his entire myriad of dash skills were now on the cooldown.
These three added to the three he previously activated, and the two his team activated added up together to eight levels. "This is getting out of hand," he sighed before deciding to fight seriously at this moment.
"Shade doppelganger festival."
The next moment, seventeen of his clones appeared all of sudden around him. "Hurry and use your dash skills, one on each monster," he hurried to shout. With the sudden appearance of his clones, his team members back behind knew things were getting ugly.
Yet they couldn't help much as the two monsters they were about to kill suddenly got some kind of boost and their attacks didn't yield even half the damage they caused to them before.
The summoned clones followed his orders and hit the monsters around them.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Five more activated their skills, making Bloom shook his head. "Having eight monsters activating their skills isn't much different than having them all using their supreme skills, we are doomed either ways," he muttered before using his dash skill to hit one monster and stun it.
"Listen up, all long ranged players use their skills here without reserve," he suddenly shouted. As things got out of control like this, then the only hope he and others had was to kill these monsters as fast as possible.
No time for being discrete anymore.
Suddenly many flashes of skills landed upon the area around him. Their damage wasn't doing any better than his, yet they had the advantage of having damage caused per second. He didn't hesitate to push more, using all his dash skills in one go, stunning four more monsters before the remaining ten monsters activated their supreme skill.
"Now it's a dog fight," he sneered as he stood up from the side of the hall where he was sent by the effect of the ten activated skills. "Let's see how this will end," he laughed like a mad man, enjoying this brutal fight more.
As he depleted all his dash, he had to use other skills available.
"Stab," he met the incoming monster with this before linking it with a slice. He turned around the monster while his other sword kept stabbing the monster's body.
"Curse you," he saw the long tail of the monster moving fast towards him. "Slice," he used another slice to turn around the monster, hardly evading the tail by mere inches away.
"Stab, stab, stab, stab," he kept his other sword busy stabbing the monster, kiting its Hp slowly while he watched that tail turning fast to attack him.
And this time there were two other monsters coming at him. His clones had used two waves of dash to stun seventeen monsters for ten seconds, yet that left eight loose.
"Hit these two!" he shouted before calmly using another slice to shift his body around the monster. He looked like dancing around the monster, while his companion was this tail, following him anywhere he went and couldn't touch him even once.
The clones were trying to kill the seventeen monsters when he shouted, and then two used their dash piercer skill to instantly stun the two monsters just one meter away from him.
"Stun the others first," he shouted before adding, "keep them all stunned while killing them."
This was the only idea he had right now to control this chaotic situation. The monsters gained twenty five levels at the moment, making their level grow from being level fifteen to level forty.
