Infinite Realm

*Boom*

"This sh*t head really wants to kill me!" Fudo exclaimed after dodging a ray that fired towards him.

Slightly before the teams of Emperor's Might and East Crow would take a very short break, the boss had erected a transparent barrier, similar to the one he had used to block Fudo's attack but a much larger one. It did so after realising Fudo and Sato's goal. The barrier surrounded the boss, enclosing both him and the formation beneath, within it. Since the formation beneath it was constantly replenishing it's mana, the boss didn't have much of a problem keeping the shield active.

"Tch. Where the hell are these guys eh? Did they forget that we're handling the boss alone or do they want us to die first?" Fudo grumbled.

"If you're that free then stop kicking up a fuss and pay attention." Sato retorted.

Since Sato wasn't an MT class, he couldn't easily approach the boss, least he dies an unreasonable death. The only thing he could do was run around the boss making it seem as if he was trying to find an opportunity thereby drawing the boss' focus on himself. With the boss'focus on him, Fudo would be able to freely attack the barrier. However, in the scenario where the boss paid more attention to Fudo than Sato, he would try to find an opportunity to strike at the barrier.

"Lemme handle it! [Taunt]" Griffin roared while running towards the boss.

"Took you a while." Fudo said in a displeased tone.

On the other side, Old Jiro, Chesces, Kylian, Swift Blade and Dream Tiger had also joined up though they were a little behind of Griffin.

The long-range players were slightly behind the close-combat players. They prepared their various attacks and aimed it right at the boss. Instead of skills, they used regular attacks, constantly bombarding the barrier with their attacks.

Though the regular attacks were far more weaker than their skills, the advantage it had was that it could be continuously used without much of a pause. In this very scenario where they have to keep the boss busy for the close-combat players to close the gap, using regular skills and attacks proved to be the best solution.

While Drunken Hog and Dream Tiger attacked together, Swift Blade and Chesces moved from the sides towards the boss.

"Hey mage! Keep the boss occupied!" Chesces yelled at Fudo.

"Tch. That's what I've been doing ever since." Fudo silently muttered before focusing his attention back at the boss.

*Phew*

*Boom*

*Bam*

Despite having not approached the barrier, their attacks had already did so, crashing into the barrier and causing mini explosions to set off all around it.

While the attacks landed, the close combat players took the opportunity to close up the gap and approach the barrier, attacking it with even more attacks at a much faster frequency than the long-range players.

Due to the constant never-ending attacks aimed at the barrier, the barrier began to crack as fissures began to form on it, extending like tributaries of a river.

The goblin boss stared at the team and frowned at their actions before spreading it's arms out wide.

As it did so, swathes of flames appeared and spread out towards the players, burning with fierce vigor and intensity. The flames were quite huge that they not only rushed towards the players with great speed but they also blocked the boss from their sights.

"Dodge!" Chesces yelled while retreating away from the flames.

Swift Blade, Sato and Griffin retreated back a bit, escaping the flames which had a short life.

Once the flames ended with the players already at a suitable distance away, the players were greeted by the sight of a few fire spears rushing towards them.

"Damn. It isn't giving us any chance!'" Swift Blade cursed as he ran backwards even more.

"Hup!" Griffin lifted his shield to meet with the attack.

*Bang*

A resounding bang sounded out as the fire spear landed on Griffin's shield, pushing him a few steps back.

Chesces dodged the spear while Sato did the same, though he made it look like he was having a bit of trouble while dodging. Even in the battle, Sato didn't forget to make it look like he was a lot weaker than his teammates.

After the boss' counter attack, the players once again fixated their attention towards the boss in the barrier. As they did so, they noticed that the fissures on the barrier were closing up, a sign of the barrier fixing itself.

"It's the boss!" Fudo exclaimed.

Upon further scrutiny after Fudo's remark, they discovered that it wasn't an auto-healinh function but weather it was the goblin boss that was patching up the barrier thanks yo the constant supply of Mana he received from the formation.

"Hmph. You think a tortoise shell would save you?" Old Jiro humphed before chanting a few words with his speech accompanied with the action of lifting his staff up.

'We've wasted too much time.' Sato and Chesces thought at the same time.

Sato rushed from the left, but this time, he didn't hold back by much. Chesces also did the same, in other words, he was also holding back.

'...so we all had our secrets.'

They both ran at high speed towards the barrier.

Meanwhile, Old Jiro had finally finished his chanting as a flaming arrow took shape. Once it was about to be completed, Drunken Hog took out a scroll made out of animal skin. The scroll still looked a bit new as it was devoid of patched parts or wrinkled edges. He then struck his staff on the ground and took his hand off of it. The staff, despite the absence of support, stood still on its own. Grabbing the scroll with both hands, Drunken Hog tore it apart before flinging the torn parts towards the flaming arrow.

Infinite Facts (1) :

When battling a monster in a party system, the experience isn't shared equally.

50% of the experience is first shared based on damage dealt and role in the battle. The remaining 50% would then be awarded based on this:

The player who deals the final blow receives at least 5% of this experience(50%), if the party is at or above a total of 4 players. If it is less(3 players) the final hit dealer receives more.

The next to receive more experience is the highest damage dealer receiving at least 20% of the entire experience. In the scenario where the healer performs more than the highest damage dealer, he or she receives this reward with the highest damage dealer receiving slightly less(about 15%)

The remaining experience is given to the MT as

Example: a team of 5(2 mages A and B, 1 healer C, 1 MT D and 1 physical class E). The highest damage dealer, supposing it's E, will receive 20% of the remaining 50% exp. Final blow dealer, let's say it's D, receives 5%. That would total to 25% exp(5%- last hit, 20%highest damage) of their original 50%. The remaining 25% is then shared according to how well they play their roles as Damage dealers, Healer or MT.

Now supposing the healer, C, performs better than the highest damage dealer (this is calculated in special way), C would receive the 20% meant for highest damage dealer while E, the highest damage dealer, receives 10%. That would now be 35% of the 50% shared(5%- last hit, 20%- healer performed better, 10%- highest damage).. The remaining 15% is then shared according to how well a player plays their role.
