The party went in the room where the first mini boss of the dungeon resided….. As expected it was quite fearsome

 [ Goblin Chief] ( Elite) ( Lv 35) ( Hp 30000/30000): With great frame and power , the goblin chief is a fearsome opponent to fight against , caution is adviced.

Indeed level35 was extremely difficult to tackle at such a high hp! Caution was indeed needed.

 [Hobgoblins ] ( mutant) ( Lv 30) : Mutant goblins , serves the goblin chief

 Rudra counted them in his mind ….. there were a total of 12 hobgoblins around the chief .Well luckily they had 14 assaulters in his party … “Assaulters slay the smaller mobs, archers take aggro of the boss , stay out of attack range , non qssaulters pick up a bow and try and damage as much as you can. !”

Rudra commanded.

The frey started , Rudra quickly went to work on the hobgoblins , leading by example he slew 3 hobgoblins in just under a minute assisting others in slaying 5 more.Although Karna’s skills were not as polished as in his past life, with the epic blade slaughterer he too was a one man wrecking crew .

With the two of them leading the frey, the smaller hobgoblins were easily slayed.” Other warriors fall back behind the tanks and pick up the bows , let me and karna take the aggro now archers”. saying that Rudra attacked the boss using windslash

-300

-300

-450 critical hit!

And the boss’s aggro was drawn indeed! The goblin chief roared and used the earthquake stomp skill , Shockwave rippled accross the ground damaging every player in the party

-200

-250

-300

A string of damage appeared on the players .

Rudra grit his teeth , Darkness Bind! , he immobilized the chief and switched his weapon to Excalibur , using the size manipulation property of the blade , midway through his swing he increased the size to that of the goblin chiefs head and

SLASH!

-21000 CRITICAL HIT!

[ Goblin chief ] ( Elite ) ( Hp 1200/30000)

Rudra quickly escaped . And used the darkness blast skill as his last move

-1200

A system notification wrang through everyone’s ears , but noone was paying attention , WTF WAS THAT INSANE DAMAGE ???

Does the leader even need a party? he basically soloed a mini boss of a nightmare mode dungeon.

Shock ! Awe ! Respect !

LEVEL UP!

A notification was heard again , they all being around similar levels levelled up after this boss fight .Rudra smiled ….. this is exactly what he wanted . He wanted everyone in his party to understand that he is a reliable leader and with him around everything will just be a breeze .

Levelling up Rudra called up the stat panel

——————————————————————————

The updated system menu was excellent , much more detailed than before , although Rudra had a few stat points left , he was more inclined to save them for now as his current combat strength was quite strong.

 He would assign them in the future as he deemed necessary.” Check the loot guys , i am not a very lucky person , if i pick the loot it will most likely be trash “.

Rudra said smiling But this just put pressure on whoever would open the loot. If it was trash everyone would look them with discerning eyes. After 2 mins of silence Karna decided to go check the loot.

+20 𝘎𝘰𝘭𝘥

+ 2 𝘎𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘸

+2 𝘎𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘦𝘺𝘦

+1 𝘙𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦

+1 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 ( 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘧𝘵)

+1 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥

+3 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘴

+ 7 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 ( 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘩)

what a great harvest! Indeed Karna was a lucky guy Everyone looked towards Rudra now…. as the loot distribution mode was selected at party leader.Rudra said ” The gold goes to guild inventory , in all expeditions solid currency income will always go to the guild and soo will the alchemy items the goblins eyes , Claws etc… any party member having use for those parts can exchange at 70% off the market rate from the guild warehouse”.

Everyone nodded , this method of distribution was more than fair . But what about the other resources?

[ Rare Necklace ] ( Rare) : +2 INT , +1 Luck

As this is a non class specific item …. this will be decided by roll , those who wish to have this item please roll , however bear in mind that some other person will be given priority over items in futureRudra said7 party members decided to roll for the item and with a highest roll of 85 it went to Cola.

Cola was very happy with this outcome. The durable shield will go to the tanks

[ Durable shield ] ( Gold ) : an excellent shield , whose durability wont fall quickly in battle , meant to be sturdy it is build with special forging methods.

+ 20% defense upon equipping

– 50% physical damage reduction

Only tanks may roll for this item . Rudra said But it was mutually decided by the tanks to let this item go to Rhino . Rudra was fine by that , he also appreciated such team bonding .

Rudra simmilarly distributed all the remaining items fairly , while he himself also participated in the roll for the skill book theft.In the end he did not win a single thing , However he was content with the way things proceded.

Rudra said ” Okay guys , lets catch a break and heal …. we will head out in 20 minutes”. Saying so the healers quicky started casting heal spells and restoring the party back to max HP, the Dungeon run soo far was going very smoothly.
