This greatly affected the duration of stun effect to be reduced to no higher than four seconds. Despite that, he had to make sure every single monster was controlled if possible.
However what he was sure about was the problem of the cooldown of his and his clones' skills. "I need to reserve mine to be used at the last moment," he muttered before watching three stunned monsters from before getting themselves free.
His seventeen clones had just stunned the other seven monsters, leaving the monster he was playing with free. He was already controlling the pace well, while alternatively using the slice with stabs, he managed to evade that fast moving tail.
He knew the moment he would get caught with it he would be a prey for that monster. "Keep them under control," he shouted again when he noticed two of his clones were just killed by the three rampaging monsters.
Amidst all this, his team members killed the two monsters they hunted and the next moment they dropped this careful planning and went up there to attack all the monsters without exception.
The place turned chaotic all of sudden, and the mission of kiting down the monsters were left mainly to his players while stunning and controlling the monsters was a mission left for his rapidly decreasing in number clones.
As for him, after three minutes of continuous dancing with the monster he finally managed to slain it. The moment it was killed he turned around and examined the entire battle.
"Dash!"
He didn't have time to reconsider anything, as he just selected the most dire situations and started using his saved up dashes to hit the monsters and stunning them.
Despite the rate of killing monsters was much lower now than ever, he, his clones, and his team were able to control these monsters with the combined tactics they were executing right now.
Gradually monsters kept falling especially when he kept interfering in the hardest situations ever after killing one monster alone. Each time after he used his dashs, he took charge of the last hit monster while letting the two or three players hitting it to move to aid others.
Alone he was able to produce more results than a small team of five players. Despite that he was caught a couple of times by the tails and even got his Hp once depleted lower than ten percent.
Yet the timely interference of the healing players made him much secured. Plus he kept one dash for reserve to such situations when he was caught. Like this he was able to stun the monster and break himself free from it.
With each falling monster, the gap between them and the monsters decreased, and in the next ten minutes the level difference became only five levels apart from his team, and three levels from him.
Then the previous tyrannical performance of Bloom returned while throwing off monsters right and left with the simple wave of his swords.
"Finally," Nara was sitting on both knees while catching up her breaths, "my stamina is running low."
She wasn't the only one having this feeling, but all the players here felt the same fatigue. All except Bloom who once used a stamina potion in the middle of the fight when he suspected he would end in this state much earlier than them.
After all he was the one doing the most work in this fight.
"Stay and rest then," he said before adding, "we need to buy stamina recovery potions later for the team."
"We have five bottles each," Jeffrey said, "but this dungeon has many rooms, so it's not practical for us to use them this early."
Bloom had enough potions to cover up their needs, yet he didn't offer them any. He had to train them to depend entirely on themselves. After all they weren't such a newbie team like his team at the beginner phase.
"Rest then," he said before glancing over the team, "we lost thirteen this time. Revive them during this rest while I need you to publish the post."
"Now?" Jeffrey shouted in shock while Bloom nodded. "what is the time you want me to use in the post?" he asked while helplessly shaking off his head.
He wasn't alone feeling this way, after all they all knew how hard it was to clear up this dungeon. If possible they hoped they had no visitors to the dungeon, not going out of the line and inviting many of them in such a way.
"Say we need four hours to clear the dungeon," Bloom thought carefully as they needed around an hour to clear this room and rest to restore stamina. "This way they will hit us after we clear up the fourth room," he calculated.
In the past life, the teams raiding dungeons would wait at the last hour to hit the dungeon. This way they would make sure to have an exhausted team to fight, and very few distance remaining from clearing up the entire dungeon.
"Grade green dungeon?" Jeffrey asked.
"Sure," Bloom nodded before adding, "and give hints that we have low potions, especially Hp and Stm potions."
""
"Isn't it too much?" Nara remarked before adding, "we are really running low on these potions."
"Don't worry," Bloom smiled in confidence as he added, "when the first teams hit here, we'll send Horn back to the village to restock with potions for the entire team."
Everyone glanced weirdly at him before one player, a shield bearer one, asked in doubt:
"Is it allowed? Won't he be kicked off the team this way?"
Bloom nodded before adding, "he will, and then he could just return to the dungeon and join us again." He paused and when he noticed the weird looks over their faces he laughed. "Don't tell me others can enter the dungeon from outside and our men can't."
This simple realization hit them all and made them all speechlessly glancing at him. "You know too much of the game," Nara commented, expressing what others were having in mind.
