Gus Hopper.
He was considered one of the strongest antagonists in the early stages of ELO.
Many players didn't know that he was a Summoner who could bring forth not just two but four monsters at the same time.
And these monsters were usually a Rank higher than him.
Given that Gus was Rank 4, summoning four Rank 5 Alpha Crimson Mantises was no problem.
If a player accidentally encountered him in any part of the story quest, a battle was inevitable.
If the player and their teammates weren't wearing the best equipment they could have gotten their hands on, the chances of winning against Gus were zero.
Even now, this rule held true.
The Summoner wasn't meant to be fought in a one-on-one battle. A fully equipped team was required to defeat him. Even then, the battle would not be easy.
Why?
Because Gus himself had another trump card.
