"Power... ah, endless power!"
In the battleground below, the players' relentless barrage in the first few minutes cut Gehrman Bonebite's health down to 40%. On our side, thanks to the defenders' competent performance and coordination, aside from summoned creatures suffering, there were basically no casualties.
However, it seemed like a change in phase.
Even though the BOSS's health was dwindling, there was no sign of it getting scared; instead, as its life faded, the surging power within Gehrman burst forth in a more vigorous manner.
Black flames spewed from its nostrils, ears, and mouth. Even beneath its eyes, shadows brewed, and every strike with the bonebite warhammer was increasingly forceful. Stick Brother moved forward to take a hit, managed to defend against the attack, yet bizarre energy backlash wiped two-thirds of his health.
"Fall back! I'll handle it!"
Orchid shouted, clad in the Hunting Crown exoskeleton, taking on the defense burden alone.
