~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: The Temple Of Jad\'var, The Kingdom of Nu\'bor, The Continent of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 12:53 PM)~~~
Since there are only two minutes left of Enraged and Full of Wrath for Jad\'vari, we\'ll need to be careful not to send him into this state again. Some bosses can reenter states if you repeat the process. And I don\'t want that happening here.
While I don\'t know if it would happen, I don\'t want to test it out.
I use my wings to move backward in a burst of speed and air. But to my surprise, Jad\'vari points his mouth to the ground and unleashes a fire attack. And it\'s bouncing off the floor and coming at me from all directions from the front.
I can\'t dodge. Not completely.
Narrowly escaping the fire and taking a whopping 28,000,000,000 damage opens my eyes and sense.
I\'m almost tempted to activate Raging Machine and Kingslayer to help stop all this incoming damage.
What surprised me was the new attack he used. The breath attacks he\'s used so far were beams of concentrated power and not a breathy type like fire. Did a bang-up job of catching me off guard. Taking that much damage is a good example of that.
"You\'re not dying on me, are you!?"
Sally\'s words are more encouraging than they seem. It\'s how I\'d want to be talked to in a situation like this. And I literally have to roll out of the way to dodge a claw swipe from the speed this guy is moving at. The Avatar of Jad\'vari is the real deal.
"Just wait until it\'s your turn!! My minute is almost up, and it\'ll be your turn to run around dodging this shit!!"
Her smile drops, realizing the truth behind my words. And after another 10 or so seconds, a warning from the system appears.
[Warning: The Boss has 1 minute left of Enraged and Full of Wrath!]
Jad\'vari Lessiros Avatar takes its attention off me and shifts back to Sally. And this is when I take a deep breath and sit down. I\'m actually tired from that, and it\'s because of the speed we were moving. And taking 28,000,000,000 damage wasn\'t a great help.
We still have a fight even when this state does drop, but I watch the fight Sally is putting up. Or lack thereof. One of the worst parts about games is fighting Bosses with invulnerability phases. I get it adds challenge, but man, is this tedious.
Not to mention we have the rest of the boss battle after this. Getting him down to half health, then he\'ll start summoning minions to help.
This fight is solo players\' or small parties\' worst nightmare. So many hurdles for such a small number of people.
"Uuuuugh!! I\'m so sick of this shit! How much time is left until both states are gone!!?"
Sally is vocalizing her frustration more than I am, but I\'m right there with her. And she\'s waiting for an answer to her question about how much time is left. I check the counter, and there isn\'t that much longer left.
"29 seconds until he\'s done with this crap!!"
She smiles, and that puts some pep in her step. I should warn her about not repeating the quick damage again since it might lead us back here.
"Once the states are dropped, we\'ll need to deal the damage in controlled amounts! Not all out like we did at first! That\'s how we got into this mess, and it could lead us back here!!"
It\'s not a risk I\'m willing to take, and Sally skillfully dodges the Boss with precision and athleticism. The 29 seconds comes to an end, and we\'re greeted by one of the worst series of notifications that I\'ve ever seen.
[Warning: Enraged and Full of Wrath states have run out!]
[Warning: With a clear mind, Avatar of Jad\'vari regenerates to full health and doubles its health pool!]
[Warning: Jad\'vari is now twice as resistant to physical attacks!]
[Warning: Jad\'vari can reenter Enraged and Full of Wrath if dealt sudden and heavy damage!]
"Why does this SON OF A BITCH have to be so hard to kill!!?"
Sally channels the frustration and hate I\'m feeling for this encounter, and there isn\'t anything we can do about it except fight. I arrive next to my lovely woman in a burst of speed and stand next to her, and Jad\'vari looks at us with intelligence in his eyes.
"Alright, let\'s do this controlled and with patience. Once we get him to half health, we\'ll talk again. For now, let\'s whittle away at this guy. Hopefully, this goes more smoothly than our first attempt."
Since we\'re not so far apart now and aren\'t being chased, we don\'t have to yell at each other. Our attention shifts back to the Boss, and The Witness is ready to fight.
I lead the first series of attacks, and I make sure I never do more damage than a total of 1 percent of its total health pool, and it\'s a battle of attrition at this point. Sally follows my lead and does the same approach.
It takes us about 10 minutes, but we eventually get him down to half health. And this is when the Boss fight becomes more annoying than it was before.
[Warning: All the corpses that fill this room will come to life and help Jad\'vari!]
[Warning: If corpses can\'t move their bodies, they\'ll immobilize you with special magic by touch!]
[Warning: There are no resistances to this magic!]
"I\'m so sick of this shit!!"
This time it\'s me yelling, and I\'m standing next to Sally as I do it. She only lets out a sigh and nods her head in agreement. I was expecting actual fighters, but in a sense, this is worse.
Instead of fighting this battle on the ground, I grab Sally\'s wrist, and I lift off the floor with her. I fly around in the large chamber. There is barely enough room to get around, but I\'m making the best of it I can.
We dive toward the Boss together, and we keep doing what we\'ve been doing. Only doing a maximum of 2 percent damage between the both of us. And that\'s when we land on our second blunder of the day.
A skeleton jumps up as I fly low to the ground and grabs my ankle. Immediately my wings are toggled off, and we\'re immobilized.
Meaning we can\'t move.
And that\'s when the Boss uses this opportunity to strike. And before he can reach us, I barely get out of the immobilization. But I only get out fast enough to move Sally out of the way, and I take a direct hit for 30,000,000,000 damage.
For the first time in a long time, but health is well below half.
"You damn idiot!! You should\'ve gotten out of the way instead!!"
Sally makes her anger with me clear, and I ignore it for the time being as I see the Boss isn\'t letting up any time soon. The good news, he\'s at about 20 percent health now, and we\'re getting close. She doesn\'t take kindly to me ignoring her, but she lets it pass for now.
But I know I\'ll be hearing about it after we\'re done with the Dungeon.
"Let\'s avoid these damn skeletons better! What happened was my fault!"
I take full responsibility for what happened since I was the one flying.
Sally rolls her eyes, and we move in unity to attack the Boss. We take it slow and steady, and as we reach 5 percent, one of the nastiest and rankest notifications I\'ve ever seen pops up.
[Warning: Jad\'vari is attempting to self detonate!]
[Warning: No one in the room will survive!]
"YOU\'VE GOTTA BE SHITTING ME!!!"
I let my anger fly out my mouth, and I immediately activate Raging Machine and Kingslayer.
Hastily.
