After the first mob, the group cleared the second, the third, and the fourth mob with overwhelming ease.
Since everyone's level was above 30, this was simply a breeze. One of the hurdles in the Twilight dungeon was the difficulty in splitting apart these mobs.
When the werewolves appeared, they attacked together in big groups.
However, this was not a hurdle for the group as they cruised through the packs of the werewolves, finally arriving at the first boss.
It was a huge monstrous werewolf slumbering in the middle of the forest. There were a few wisps of wind mysteriously twirling around this wolf.
Everyone immediately looked at Liam to see if he had any special instructions for this one, but he still did not show any reaction.
So Derek went ahead and tossed his shield at the werewolf, waking it up with a quick attack.
AWOOOOOO!
The werewolf instantly sprang up on all fours, its speed and agility very impressive.
It snarled its teeth, saliva dripping from its mouth, and its red eyes locked onto the few humans in front of it.
GROWL!
The werewolf pounced forward without wasting another second, ripping and slicing the air with its paw.
Surprisingly, this sent out bursts of winds forward, cutting down everything in its path. This was an evolved version of wind blades attack.
But everyone in the group was already familiar with this attack as they had read about this boss on the forums.
Derek promptly stepped forward and blocked these cutting winds while Alex charged at the boss to take the main aggro.
Both of them were very talented tanks, so they tacitly decided on who was doing what based on their position and their coordination was impeccable.
Clang!
Alex's shield clashed with the werewolf's sturdy paw, and the mere impact was enough to push her back a few steps.
-1500
A huge damage number floated atop her head as well.
The werewolf raised another paw to strike down again, and this time Derek took the initiative and blocked the attack head-on.
Because there were two tanks in their group, it was easy to rotate in this manner and take turns bearing the brunt of the attack.
However, since Derek's equipment was on a completely different grade when compared to Alex's, he did not receive much damage.
He even managed to chip away at the monster's health a little.
And while these two kept the huge werewolf engaged, the others barraged the beast with a variety of attacks, slowly bringing down its health.
With the exception of its strength, speed, power, and agility, this first boss didn't have much to offer.
It was utterly helpless, and the big boy was quickly brought down to his knees.
But when it was at the last 25% of its health, suddenly the werewolf let an enraged roar.
The werewolf was incensed, its blood-red eyes gleaming with anger.
It swiped its paws and sent out massive rippling winds, almost creating a tornado.
The wind was cutting, and grass and the ground itself were being torn apart, everything rising up into the air.
Everyone's health began dropping drastically at the same time. If this continued, the situation would quickly become dire.
So the group had to absolutely grind down the boss before the tornado took away their health.
Suddenly, the fight became a competition for speed and power. Whoever does the maximum damage in the fastest time wins.
This was the second hurdle of the dungeon, the berserk state of the first boss.
Unless the attacking group had a decent damage output, they could not cross this hurdle. They needed to have an overall damage output above the required threshold.
However, this was not really an issue for the group.
Mia casually topped up everyone's health, buying extra seconds, while the others just continued with their attacks.
Even without the little fox and Liam added into the picture, everyone was able to bring out the required damage numbers to put down the boss.
And a few seconds later, the huge monster let out its last howl as it slumped onto the ground lifelessly.
Just like that, the first boss was down!
Clang. Clang.
Immediately, two pieces of equipment dropped from the beast, and a few coins scattered around.
Since these were just drops from a Level 30 boss, no one was really interested in them. Nevertheless, some parties were curious to see what dropped.
But the small fox who lingered at the back did not give anyone this chance.
Before anyone could react, she pounced at the sparkly things on the ground with her eyes twinkling and brought all of them over to Liam.
Liam covered his mouth at this sight and chuckled helplessly. What was this new behavior?
"There is one cloth piece and one pair of braces." He announced.
"One looks like a silver unique item and the other looks like a gold unique item. Both are Level 30 items."
"Whoever wants to roll for it can do so."
