Classless Ascension

Chapter 235: Raid Time!

Josh was frowning as he hid inside the snake's body, blood sometimes spurting on him whenever there was a sharp turn. But, he didn't mind, for he was busy etching a plan.

His current objective was to defeat the mini-boss he had seen earlier. There were a few Big Earth dragons, but only the mini-boss was level 69, and the others reached 66. These three levels may not seem much, but they changed everything!

This one had an insanely powerful skill! It would roar powerfully, and soon afterward, there would be a sand prison that would form around about a dozen targets, soon crushing them till there only remained a bloody mush!

What made this cheating skill even more broken was the fact that this dragon was seemingly invincible! Barely anything could pierce its scales. It was akin to trying to destroy a full plate armor with a toothpick! That left the creature ample time to work its magic.

That's when Josh had a flash of inspiration, but his plan would be incredibly challenging. It would require perfect aggro control along with lots of effort and patience. But, he wouldn't give up in the face of a bit of adversity.

He began organizing a zerg. He guided the snakes to get the attention of normal dragons and then ordered them to run away, baiting them to follow. Then, he directed them toward worms and made them scurry away.

Josh's snake legion was akin to a group of shepherds. Every mistake in positioning would cause the death of a snake, a worm to escape, or even a dragon to give up the chase. He felt like his brain was about to overheat!

But even with how challenging it was, he kept struggling. All until he finally managed to bring them all to his target. At that point, Josh had about a few hundred creatures in his strange "party", and he guided all of them to crash onto the target suddenly.

<Big Earth Dragon Lv69??>

The mini-Boss didn't even seem to mind it one bit. It just merrily began chomping left and right. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet! Usually, the creature would spend so much energy to hunt; this was so wonderful!

To make matters worse, the random dragons were killing the snakes and worms, the snakes were eating the worms, and the latter were pointlessly wriggling. But as time passed, many creatures began to get annoyed by the arrogant roars of the mini-boss.

That's when some began to attack it, but that only intensified its ruthlessness. It would crack open the creatures and slice them apart, reveling in their cries of suffering. It was the overlord of this plane, and it was showing its dominance!

But, the more it did so, and the more resentful the weaklings became. All until a miracle happened. Worms, snakes, and dragons began actively and unconsciously working together. They simply all wanted this overbearing dragon to disappear.

All of these made a crazy good synergy too. The dragons were the only ones able to pierce the monster's tough scales. Their attacks would reveal the soft flesh underneath, making the creature vulnerable.

Then, the snakes would pretty much do the rest of the damage as the main attack force. As long as the scales were broken, they could use their large numbers to attack the mini-Boss from all fronts. This made it impossible for it to dodge their onslaught.

There was still one thing that it could do. It would use its overpowered sand coffin attack to get rid of them all! But, somehow, its spells kept colliding with the damn worms that were brainlessly wriggling all over the place!

Josh could actually discern a hint of intelligence in the creature's eyes. It could have easily run away, used a guerrilla tactic, and killed them all. But the monster still had that one glaring weakness: it was too proud.

Josh was relaxing by now and enjoying the show with his only concern to make sure that the snake he was hiding into didn't die stupidly. Well, he couldn't help either way since this whole thing was one chaotic mess. But it was working!

Eventually, the dragon gave one last ear-piercing regretful scream as it finally fell. This scream resonated across the entire Floor, signaling the fall of the tyrant. How many creatures had it playfully hunted as the apex predator?

There was a long moment of silence as the monsters around realized what they had done. They had been fighting blinded by fury, but they were regaining their senses. The worms wriggled, the snakes slithered, and the dragons just stood there.

For an instant, these three species were in complete harmony, not an ounce of killing intent appearing. Josh ordered his snake to move forward. It was time to grab some loot! There would be something useful on the corpse of such a strong foe, right?!

But just as Josh's mount was about to comply, the ground began trembling.

*????????????????????*

What the heck was this?! The dunes everywhere began collapsing as golden sand flowed all over the place, looking like a golden sea. Was it an earthquake?! That is when a giant whirlpool of sand appeared, right next to Mini-Boss.

Oh god, no! Josh could already understand what was happening. He ordered his snake to get as far away as possible from this place! There was no way that he would face whatever was coming!

The scene behind them was becoming smaller and smaller. But even that didn't prevent him from seeing what happened next as clear as day. There was an explosion as sand was thrown everywhere in the air!

That is when a massive creature emerged straight out of the whirlpool. There was a gigantic worm with teeth large enough to skewer dragons easily. This thing was as imposing as the goddamn Iron Giant but way faster!

<Biggest Worm God Lv73??>

This was getting out of hand! Almost four fucking times Josh's level! It devoured the carcass instantly in one gulp! Then, it turned toward the other creatures before turning toward his general direction.

Oh crap, there was killing intent aimed straight at him! Time to run!...

Creator's Thought

That moment when you defeat the big bad monster only to realize it was nothing more than the mid-Boss! Well, this was to be expected. I just didn't expect that it would instantly come out of hiding. Was this a scripted event or was it just because we made way too much noise and disrupted its sleep?
