Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC

Chapter 72 Boss Fight! Part 2



Of course, this did not mean this boss fight would be easy. Vance was just hoping to get the players to help bring down the barrier faster. Luckily it seemed to be working because more and more players were appearing. He hated to admit it, but he was using the White Knight Cynthia as a beacon for the other players to join in. He was basically upping her status amongst the other players.

One player was getting impatient from not getting any quests and yelled at the knightly girl as he asked: "Hey! How long did you need to attack for before getting the quest!?"

The White Knight Cynthia did not answer as she was attacking and only paying attention to Vance's movements. She was unsure how this boss would react, and after many years of playing games, she knew that the NPCs were the leaders in such battles. As for the player who asked the question he wanted to turn and leave after being ignored but he still could not give up on getting the quest! Thye only knew that the man with white hair was the quest giver. so all Eyes were on Vance

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" The demon before everyone suddenly shouted in anger as the blue barrier finally fell. His roar instantly killed many players. But Vance, who was ready for this to happen, had grabbed the White Knight Cynthia and pulled her out of the attack range. While sound attacks could be heard all over, there was an actual range of how far away it would do damage.  "Puny beings, you all shall die!"

Vance moved back to where Alice and Sally were with the White Knight Cynthia. "Alice, use your bow! Sally, you can start using melee. But as you saw, when he moves to stand up tall or his skin turns red, quickly retreat to this distance! Use me for your teleport point if need be."

"Understood!" Sally replied before running forward with daggers drawn. Only Alice narrowed her eyes as she looked at the White Knight Cynthia and asked: "Vance, who is she!?"

"Ah?" Vance realized he had brought the White Knight Cynthia with him. He only meant to pull her away. "She is doing a task for me, so I can't have her die."

"Oh…." Alice pursed her lips and glared at the White Knight Cynthia, who was very confused. She felt like she was listening to two players and not NPCs talking!

"Ahem… Go back to attacking. Make sure you quickly retreat as soon as he begins to stand up. Demons have a habit of standing up for any big attack. But also be careful of his skin color. If it turns red, immediately retreat!" Vance gave some direction which confused the White Knight Cynthia even more. She could only nod her head before charging back in.

"Alice, keep up with firing arrows. Shoot the eyes if you can." Vance wanted to try to keep the demonized Prince Edward from attacking specific people.

"Got it, but I want a better explanation when we are through this!" Alice snorted. Vance sighed as he nodded and rushed back in to attack. He might be doing little to no damage, but every bit of it counted!

The fight continued on, and a few of the elite guards that were there had already fallen. Vance being a low level, only needed to move when he saw the signs of a major attack. To save people from dying and to quickly end this, he would always shout out reminders. At first, Henry was confused by this, but he slowly began seeing the signs that Vance was and took over, telling people to retreat when to attack again.

But one thing Vance was worried about the most was the berserk state of bosses. They would grow much more powerful for a short time once their health dropped below a certain limit. During these times, one would need to quickly DPS down the boss while healers would need to stay on top of low health and do their best to keep people alive. As a solo player Vance had died many times during these kinds of fights until he figured out every quirk of a boss.  You could say that Vance had many, many redos when it came to bosses, but he never gave up until he figured out the trick. Sadly demons were different since they all had a unique ability when they reached a certain stage of their health.

Vance thought for a moment and slowly worked his way to Henry until he was close enough to yell over to him. "Sir Henry! In a few minutes, you need to all watch for a change in the demon's attack pattern. Demons always have a special skill when they are on the verge of death!"

Henry looked over at Vance and nodded his head. He did not know how Vance knew this, but he knew the kid would not lie to him. "Everyone stay alert! Do not let your selves fall to this damn beast!"

A few minutes later, the demonized Prince Edward suddenly roared an inhuman roar. "You damn insects will all die! Royal Retribution!"

Black spheres began to appear around the demonized Prince Edward. At the same time, Henry suddenly yelled out: "Fall back!"

"Die!!!!!!!!!!!" The demonized Prince Edward yelled as beams of black light fired in every direction. Many players were instantly killed. Vance had quickly retreated towards Alice while Sally used her skill to appear at his side. He quickly grabbed both girls and fell to the floor with them just as a black beam of light flew over them, killing the soldiers that were standing there! Half of their bodies disappeared in an instant! All that was left was the bottom halves which still stood tall!

Vance had no time to care about the White Knight Cynthia as he had to protect Alice and Sally, but the girl was smart and also fell to the ground when things seemed strange. As the beam of lights flashed throughout the courtroom, killing everyone they hit, a voice suddenly rumbled from the sky. "You dare wreak havoc in my Kingdom!?"

The king, who had been surrounded by guards and lying on the floor like everyone else, looked up to see an elderly old man slowly flying down from the sky through a hole created by one of the attacks. He had purple and gold robes on and looked as if he was walking downstairs as he descended from the sky. "Father!"
