[Warthog King (Common Boss)
Level 10
HP: 3,000/3,000]
Squeeel!
'You just had to appear at a time like this?' Freddy cursed.
Staring at the almost 10ft tall, tank-like warthog snorting at them, Freddy didn't know whether to celebrate his fortune or curse his misfortune.
"I'll draw it's attention. Try to stay out of sight and provide support." Freddy spoke and charged at the Boss.
"It's called grabbing aggro" Willy yelled after him and quickly ran towards the side.
'This kid' Freddy couldn't help but smile. 'Grabbing aggro huh? Let's grab some aggro then.'
Even then his movements never slowed. The hog king's beady eyes locked onto Freddy, it's massive body tensing with indignation as it thundered forward.
When both of them were about to collide, Freddy suddenly slid through the gaps between its legs, dodging it's charge.
Standing up behind the boss, Freddy used the momentum of turning he delivered a slash to the boss's hind leg.
Swish!
-9
'You gotta be f*cking kidding me.' Seeing the damage, Freddy almost burst into tears. His 50+ damage was suddenly reduced to a meager 9. 'This level suppression thing is gonna be a problem.'
Being more than double of Freddy's level, the boss had such a suppressing effect on him that it was almost suffocating.
'Forget it, let's just fight.' Freddy suddenly started hacking and slashing, causing rows of damage numbers to appear above the boss.
-9
-9
-8
-9
...
The boss, being as gigantic as it is, was very slow in turning around and Freddy capitalized on that to get a few more hits in.
[Willy the kid: We gotta finish this fast, otherwise once the commotion draws the attention of other players it'll be troublesome]
Willy's voice suddenly sounded beside his ears, jolting him into looking around.
[It's the party voice chat option, project your thoughts into the chat to chat]
Freddy quickly projected his thoughts into the chat
[Aegis Kaelos: Easy for you to say, you're not the one trying to remain at the rear of an angry warthog]
As he was speaking however, the boss suddenly dashed forward and turned to face Freddy.
Lifting its front hooves, it stomped heavily on the ground causing it to quake.
A powerful shockwave rippled outward in a radius of ten meters, shuddering the earth and sending tremors through the air.
-100
'What a powerful skill.' As Freddy tried to stagger his way out of the area of effect, a horrifying damage number suddenly appeared above him taking more than half his HP.
+50
[Willy the kid: Quickly get out of there before the next wave of damage comes]
At the same time that he received the healing, Freddy heard Willy's instructions as well.
Not even bothering to answer, he struggled his way out.
Seeing the ant escaping, the boss immediately charged at him.
However, a beam of holy light suddenly crashed down onto its head, halting it mid-charge.
-Critical Hit
-30
Seizing the slight delay, Freddy dashed behind the boss and continue slashing.
[Aegis Kaelos: I wanted to ask earlier, what was that skill you used just now?]
[Willy the kid: Holy Smite, cleric class first skill]
[Aegis Kaelos: Why don't you attack more?]
[With the amount of damage you're doing, if I attack more, I'll snatch aggro and that would be bad]
Looking around, Freddy couldn't spot Willy anywhere.
[Aegis Kaelos: You've hidden yourself right?]
[Willy the kid: Yes ]
[Aegis Kaelos: Then attack more. if you snatch aggro, stop attack and I'll snatch it back before it could find you]
[Willy the kid: Got it ]
And so both of them began their torment on the hog king.
Freddy became its shadow, hacking and slashing at its rear. Even when it charged forward to turn, Freddy charged along with it, only running when it uses its earthquake skill.
Willy on the other hand continued bombarding the boss with Holy Smite, while at the same time healing Freddy anytime he slips up.
Anytime he snatched aggro, he stopped attacking while Freddy slowly reclaims it back, making the hog king as miserable as it could be.
They spent the next 45 minutes slowly grinding away the boss's astounding HP.
[Willy the kid: Better be prepared, once it's health drops to ten percent it'll go berserk and it'll be game over If not handled well]
Hearing what Willy said Freddy only nodded and raised his concentration.
After another 5 minutes, the boss HP finally dropped to ten percent. Freddy already prepared, jump backwards distancing himself from the boss.
As if he had foresight, as soon as he retreated, the boss suddenly performed a donkey kick narrowly missing Freddy.
The hog king let out an angry squeal as its eyes and brown skin turned blood-red in an instant.
It immediately unleashed the quake skill, Freddy on the other hand filled with confidence stood ten meters away. Outside the range of the skill.
However, what he didn't expect was that the skill actually exceeded the ten meter mark and went up to a whole fifteen meter catching Freddy offguard.
-150
Even as he reacted quickly and escaped the skills area of effect, he nearly lost all his HP.
+50
Willy wasted no time in casting the Quick Heal skill, restoring a little of Freddy's HP.
'Skill range and damage increased by 50%, as if I haven't had enough already' Freddy sighed as he ran towards the boss's rear again.
Yet to his horror, he actually discovered that the boss's speed had increased by 50% as well.
'Seriously, just a single berserk and the boss become f*cking unkillable' Freddy cursed as he exerted all his efforts just to stay at the boss's blind side.
-13
-13
-14
-13
...
However, as soon as he starts slashing Freddy finally discovered something to be joyful about. 'Defence seem to decrease by 50%, finally some good news.'
[Warthog King (Common Boss)

HP: 156/3,000]
'One more barrage will be enough to take it out' Looking at the warthog King's last embers of life, Freddy knew that they could remove it all in a single barrage.
At that moment, a beam of Holy Smite suddenly descended, erasing 45 HP from the boss.
Swoosh! Swoosh!!
Just as Freddy planned to finish it off, two arrows suddenly cut through the air, aiming at the hog king.
