~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The Temple Of Jad'var, The Kingdom of Nu'bor, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:48 PM)~~~

Jad'vari Lessiro locks his eyes on the two of us, and I can see that he's clearly ready for a deadly fight. Even though it's an Avatar, I find it strange the Inspect wouldn't tell us that outright next to his name and level. Maybe a change the system made?

It's written in the description but not in the actual title of the hidden Boss. We'll want to take care of this as fast as we can. The longer we spend here, the shorter time we have to find the Dungeons Main Boss.

"We'll coordinate our attacks. Both of us cutting its health down will make killing this freak easier."

It's not pretty looking as an Avatar, and they're supposed to be a representation of that something looks like. Sally nods her head in agreement, and we both launch forward. I match Sally's speed, but I know I can go faster than this.

We hammer the Boss with our attacks. We're quickly destroying its health. And it's not happy. All of a sudden, we get a surprise.

[Warning: Jad'vari Lessiro suffered too much damage in a short amount of time! Boss has entered an Enraged State!]

[Warning: Until rage state has subsided, Boss is invulnerable.]

[Warning: Survive Bosses onslaught for 5 minutes, and Enraged State will disappear!]

No wonder there are so many dead bodies.

"Can you believe that crap!!?"

Sally doesn't get frustrated when fighting, but this is an exception. Cause I'm pissed about it too. I retreat with Sally since there is no point in attacking if the Boss can't be hurt.

We'll have to hold out for 5 minutes, and Jad'vari Lessiro isn't going to stand around and waste this time. He rushes us, and we decide without words to split up. It's harder to chase two targets that are faster than you, and it's even harder when they split up.

"Don't worry! It's not fast enough to catch either of us! Keep your distance and stay apart! It's after me, but it could change its mind!!"

I'm its current target, and it's doing its best to stay on me. But there is no chance he can catch me without some bullshit mechanic. And that's when I come to regret that thought.

It's one of those moments where you think something, and then it happens. And it's not good.

[Warning: Jad'vari Lassiro is channeling its strength stat into its speed stat!]

[Warning: Jad'vari is Full of Wrath! All attacks against opponents are now tripled!]

[Warning: This power will continue to grow until 5 minutes are up! Getting stronger every minute!!]

"This is the worst Boss I've ever fought!! There aren't bosses like this in Raids!!"

I'm genuinely upset now, and it's starting to catch up to me in speed. It unleashes a breath attack, and I narrowly dodge the beam, but I take 17,000,000 points of damage just from the heat. While it's not a lot to my total health, it's a sign.

A sign that this Boss could kill me at its strongest and angriest form.

"Well, I'm taking a shot in the dark here! But I think this is an Avatar of a God! It'd make sense why it's so strong!!"

Avatars are weaker than the ones they represent, and that's no different here. Jad'vari Lessiro is the son of Jad'var. So what Sally says makes sense, and it's crossed my mind, but I didn't get much of a chance to think about it.

Y'know, jumping right into battle without thinking.

Rookie mistake.

But my power went to my head. I honestly didn't think anything in the Dungeon had the power to kill me, but I'm wrong. Goes to show how well the system did to adjust Dungeons and Raids. Making them deadly for even a Player of my status.

"The worst part is he's not even at half health yet!!"

Sally understands what I'm talking about. Even though I didn't get to finish talking since I had to dodge another breath attack. This time taking 31,000,000 damage.

[Warning: The Boss has 4 minutes left on Enraged and Full of Wrath!]

[Warning: Speed and attack power are now scaling upward at exponential rates!]

I don't like the look and sound of these notifications.

"This is probably why no one has ever cleared this Dungeon!!"

What?

"How do you know that, Sally?!!"

I backflip away from the Boss as I ask her that. I have no idea if someone has yet cleared this Dungeon. Since it was on the maps we bought, I figured it was already cleared once before.

"Didn't you see the warning on the screen for the Dungeons Description!?"

No! I didn't!!

If I had, I wouldn't have been so damn arrogant and cocky about taking this place on!

"No!! I didn't see it! Damn it!!"

To make my mood worse, I hear Sally laughing from her spot in the room. And I'm getting increasingly frustrated with this whole Dungeon. It's not that I can't do it. It's from its annoying mechanics.

All of a sudden, the boss losses interest in me and takes off toward Sally. Her laughing stops as she narrowly dodges an attack from the Boss's claws.

Since the target is now Sally, it's scaled down to her level. And even if I could attack it, it wouldn't be like attacking a Boss around Sally's level. It'll scale that brief moment during my attack and then back down for Sally.

But none of that matters since it's invulnerable.

[Warning: The Boss has 3 minutes left of Enraged and Full of Wrath!]

"Aren't you going to help me here!!? Grab its attention!! I'm barely dodging here!!"

No, this time, it's your turn, miss laugh at me.

She sees me sit down and immediately understands what's going through my head.

"Fine! Be that way! I can do this anyway!"

Sally is fast, but the Boss is scaling with her. But has scaled down since fighting me. It's keeping the fight interesting for her. And even though she wouldn't admit it right now, she's having fun.

As I'm relaxing and watching the great show in front of me, my mind wonders for a brief moment. And the subject of my thoughts is who Jad'var and Jad'vari are. It's clear they're Gods, but the Cezlite people worshipped them.

The entire Cezlite people are gone from the information we've come across at the beginning and during our time in the Dungeon.

"The question is... What happened to the Cezlites..."

It's been on my mind since we started the Dungeon, and I don't think I'll be getting an answer anytime soon.

Then out of nowhere, the Boss shifts its attention to me, and I'm suddenly using my wings to stop the incoming claws. I don't take any damage, but I quickly get out of the way before I get hit with a breath attack.

[Warning: The Boss has 2 minutes left of Enraged and Full of Wrath!]

"The Boss switches targets every time a minute passes!! It's not from either of us saying anything!!"

Sally's observation is correct. I noticed it the same time she did. But that means we both have to survive a final minute before the state the Boss is in drops, and we can attack again. And we'll still have to fight through the Boss's summons once it reaches half health.

"Just make sure you get through your last minute!! You can bet that pretty ass of yours I'm getting through mine!!"

I make sure she hears me, and I notice just a faint blush at the unbridled bluntness of my words. It's cute, but I focus on dodging.

I've taken a total of 48,000,000 damage after all, and I don't want to take anymore. Cause it could be in the hundreds of millions or even billions at this point.
