209 Veteran Battle

Despite the appearance of individual battles, the veterans were actually fighting in four separate groups, each with a distinct role and strategy. Cachellos and his mercenary team held the left side, positioning themselves to deal with any threats from that direction. Gabriel and his group took up the right side. Alan's team, consisting of NPC companions and Axel's group, stood side by side in the center, all activated their job-class buffs, prepared to face whatever dangers emerged from the heart of the tomb.

As the giant undead general emerged from its coffin, both Alan and Axel's teams were the first to engage. The Draugr General was an intimidating figure, standing at an imposing 5 meters in height. Its eye sockets emitted an eerie blue light as it wielded a colossal, rusty sword. A deafening roar echoed through the catacomb as it swung the heavy blade, cutting down Britannia knights and severely injuring the Death Knight players, taking a hundred health points away despite their high defense rating.

Witnessing the creature's incredible strength and ferocity, Axel urgently shouted, "Take a few steps back!" The teams quickly heeded his command, backing away from the monstrous foe.

While Axel's strategy leaned towards a defensive approach, relying on his Britannia knights to keep the Draugr General occupied until the mercenaries could fully engage, Alan had different intentions. He sought to maximize his rewards from the boss monster, which required inflicting as much damage as possible. To achieve this goal, he devised a plan and called upon Percival and Dagonet to provide him with protection, positioning them at his left and right sides.

With a clear path straight to the Draugr General, Alan unleashed his skills to bypass the creature's defenses. He initiated a rapid assault with his [Lunge Strike], a skill that inflicted a substantial 95 damage. Using Axel's Britannia knights as a buffer and distraction, he maneuvered around the giant undead's feet, continuously landing strikes.

Fighting such massive creatures in confined spaces demanded agility and hit-and-run tactics. Alan's blows consistently dealt around 100 damage and left cursed marks on the Draugr General, weakening its defenses by 1% with each strike. His calculated approach aimed to whittle down the formidable foe's health while avoiding its devastating attacks.

Alan's swift and calculated actions set the pace for the battle. The Silver Rapier and the two Blood Patriot players, Marcus and Jason, followed his lead, utilizing their unique abilities. The two players tapped into their wolf transformations, enhancing their agility and executing similar hit-and-run tactics on the Draugr General.

Zencher, though hesitant to get too close to the colossal undead, remained nearby, emanating his Death Knight aura, which provided a significant 10% boost to the damage output to himself, the Silver Rapier, Marcus, and Jason. You'll find the origin of this content at n0velb!n•

As the battle raged on, other veterans couldn't resist joining the fray. Florent, leaped into action, and with his long hair fluttering in the air, he landed on the creature's back, delivering a powerful thrust with his Epic spear.

"Save some for me!" shouted Cammie, positioning herself behind the Death Knight to take precise shots with her energy weapons. The battlefield was alive with the intense energy of battle as these skilled veterans coordinated their efforts to take down the formidable Draugr General.

Cammie's energy blast drew the attention of the Draugr General, causing it to pivot its massive head toward her. Instead of retreating, Cammie boldly moved closer to Axel, declaring, "I'm not going anywhere; this is the safest spot."

Her audacity irked Zencher, prompting him to call on the Death Knights to protect their boss. But before the Draugr General could close the distance, a towering furry figure intervened. Darcy Manon, in his Bear transformation, deployed his immense strength to halt the undead monstrosity's advance, gripping its arm and halting the movement of the massive undead sword.

With the Draugr General momentarily restrained, Nash, the Tempest, chanted a powerful lightning spell. Channeling the storm's fury, he conjured a bolt of lightning that crackled with immense energy. The bolt seared through the air, striking the Draugr General with devastating force.

Simultaneously, Cade, the Archer, fired rapid arrows, each arrow carrying an explosive payload. Upon impact with the undead monstrosity, the arrows detonated in a series of fiery explosions, further ravaging the creature's already battered form.

[Type: Accessories]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Attributes: Spirit points+20]

[Effects: Magic resistance 20%, Spirit regeneration speed +20%]

[Able to Bring Outside the Game: No]

[Remarks: Just a common magic ring]

The description labeled it as a "common magic ring," but in reality, this accessory was anything but common. In the world of the Apocalypse game, acquiring accessories that enhanced spirit-related attributes was exceptionally rare. For Alan, this was a valuable find and one of the best superior-level accessories he could hope for, especially given his dire need for improved spirit-related capabilities.

With the Draugr General vanquished, the group faced the arduous task of clearing the remaining Draugr in the room. It took them several extra minutes of relentless combat, but eventually, the threat was over.

However, victory came at a cost. In the aftermath of the battle, they counted their losses: 12 Britannia knights and 2 fey warriors had fallen. Fortunately, the group of veterans remained unharmed. The coordination and expertise of these seasoned players had made defeating a B-rank boss appear surprisingly manageable.

As they caught their breath, Axel voiced the next steps, "One general down, three more to go."

Reflecting on the relatively swift battle, some among them dared to entertain the notion that they might clear the quest before nightfall. But their optimism was short-lived as they surveyed their surroundings. There were no visible doors or pathways leading anywhere.

Soon enough, the veterans realized what their next challenge was.

"Dammit, it's a puzzle challenge," Similar frustration was shown by all the players. Hope you enjoy the chapter, please dont forget to share your power stone and golden ticket
