Redo! Last Chance for a Dying World!

Chapter 83: Just Desserts

The blasts were much weaker than before, but Geth was struggling to get in close. He noticed that Blade was no longer anywhere to be seen.

With Corruption Aura active, Geth began using State Change and Barriers to lead the Shaman back towards his party. Zolis and Filthy were already back on their feet, while Alise was sitting up and holding on to her head. Geth drove it in a path directly for Zolis, who was waiting with her hammer thrown behind her shoulders like a bat. She wasn't happy about being struck with lightning earlier.

He cast a Barrier on either side of the creature, forcing it to run straight into her while casting lightning back towards Geth. Zolis swung her hammer hard, slamming into the small creature.

The Shaman went flying, completely shattering through a Barrier that Geth had placed to stop it. He ended up having to throw up another three Barriers to keep it from flying out of range.

Filthy was already on it by the time it slammed into the wall, firing arrow after arrow as it was falling towards the ground. The Shaman crashed into the earth, multiple arrows protruding from its back.

Though its Mana was abundant, this Boss didn't have insanely high health like the last one they fought. Every strike, the party was able to see its hp decreasing.

Even so, the fight wasn't easy. The only way the melee fighters could get in range was for Geth to force the beast in their direction.

If he wasn't controlling its movements, the Shaman would simply stun the others and dash away. It really was an irritating little creature.

With everyone grouped together, Geth determined that the best Attribute to end the battle quickly would be Strength. He used Mass Blessing again, replacing his own buff and increasing the power of everyone present.

Even with the loss of Agility, Geth was still able to control the Boss' movements. It had some speed, but it seemed like all of its Attributes were in Intelligence.

Another small blast of lightning flew towards Hulk as multiple fireballs flew in Geth's direction. Hulk was stunned for a moment while Geth brushed the embers off and continued his chase.

Every strike from Zolis would send the creature flying while every arrow from Filthy seemed to cause critical damage. The Shaman's speed was dropping with every arrow that hit. Alise even managed to throw a few daggers into it, but most of them were dodged.

The long and tedious fight continued. By the time they finished the Boss off, Geth had depleted half of his Mana reservoir. There had never been a moment that at least two Barriers weren't up at once, forcing the Boss in specific directions.

"Congratulations User, for defeating a Boss-type monster. Please select a reward. Options available will be based on performance."

"Congratulations User for clearing a Team Dungeon. Please select a reward. Options available will be based on performance."

Geth sighed as he watched his Level increase again. Just as the Boss' HP had fallen into the double digits, everyone backed off and didn't attack. They forced him to get the last hit.

It wasn't that he was complaining, but this was a difficult fight. Everyone had worked hard and deserved the final blow.

He shook his head as he turned to look at the ripped body on the floor. Thorn was still laying there unconscious. Geth glanced over at Alise and gestured to the man.

It wasn't his place to get revenge for her. The entire group walked away, leaving her to do as she pleased.

It didn't take long for screams of pain and pleading to soon fill the chamber. Geth smiled at the man getting what he deserved.

He was the only one that didn't look away, he was still wary of Blade showing up again. After a full hour, the screams finally died as Alise slit the man's throat.

Blade hadn't shown his face, Geth assumed he'd already made his way out of the Dungeon. Still, after Filthy finished going through his rewards he had him keep watch.

Zolis had already burned the body of the Boss after taking its staff and necklace. Both were made of bone, the top of the staff hosting an open-mouthed Goblin skull.

The chest that lay on the ground was much larger than he'd expected, bigger than the Goblin itself. Everyone was waiting at the sides for Geth to divvy out the rewards.

He cracked open the chest, the first thing that he saw was a beautiful bow. It was a bit creepy, the entire thing was structured from some kind of bone. The string looked more like clotted blood than any type of material he'd seen.

After looking beyond that, he found that everything in the chest was equally dark. He stepped to the side to let everyone observe the items.

Zolis looked on with interest as Alise scrunched up her face. Geth smiled at the difference between his wife's reaction and that of the other woman.

After everyone took a look, he pulled all of the items out of the chest one by one. In total, there were twelve items.

Of course, the bow went to Filthy without question. He relinquished his place in line for a reward as the others had already decided to gift him with the bow.

Geth had the highest performance out of their party, but he was still second-highest for clearing the Dungeon. The only possibility was that Blade had earned the top position through clearing all of the other chambers.

He looked slowly over the remaining eleven items, there were two that caught his eye. Whichever he didn't grab, Hulk was sure to snag the other one.

There was a single pauldron that could be equipped to one shoulder. The other item was a set of leg bracers to cover one's shins. Both items were Epic grade.

After thinking about it for a moment, Geth went with the pauldron. After his fight with Thorn, he realized that even if he could block his right side with his staff, it would leave his neck and shoulder wide open on his left.
