The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1595 Voice Of Reason

Unfortunately for the voices of reason within the party, nobody spoke out loud quickly enough to warn Hawk before he headed out to start pulling trash mobs to them.

He had one group left before the third boss, just enough that they wouldnʼt pull the second before they were ready. But now he was off to gather everything, just in case it was only a glitch with the Plague Demon boss.

Now that theyʼd noticed the pattern, the first pull of mobs past the boss location was noticeably weaker than the ones who had come before it.

It wasnʼt enough that it was glaringly obvious, not more than five percent weaker.

But when you were looking, you couldnʼt miss it.

”Alright, weʼve got this. Itʼs all easier trash mobs and three progressively easier bosses. With a bit of luck, we can clear two before we need another meal

break.” Karl encouraged the group.

The other Immortals laughed at the thought. Three meal breaks in a single dungeon was insane.

Usually, they wouldnʼt take more than an hour or two before you were finished and ready to go home. That was what they were expecting today, but they were at least four hours into grinding dozens of boss level demons, and they were barely half finished.

Hopefully, the rewards would make it all worth the effort in the end, and they would walk out of here as wealthy folks.

Everyone else who entered had five bosses that would drop good loot, plus whatever they got from the trash. But their group had twenty to thirty bosses for every greater boss, and there was no telling what they were going to get.

If it was giving them loot at the usual rate of one rare item per boss, with an epic item every five bosses, they were going to be insanely wealthy.

But if the improved bosses dropped something better than Epic grade, it might just change their lives.

{This isnʼt bad. I donʼt even have to heal anymore, I can just throw rocks.} Tian cheered as Hawk pulled more Demons to them.

With Karl in Cat Demon form, he was also easier to fight around and over. It made him a bit less able to block the mobs from reaching them, but that was no longer their primary concern.

He had changed the Dark Elven Kings for Oathbreaker Demons, and they were both larger and faster than the Elves they replaced.

The Dark Elven Kings had a wider variety of skills, where the Oathbreaker relied on [Teleport] and its damage spreading ability. But when they were working as tanks and not crowd control, it didnʼt matter.

[Boss Incoming!] Hawk cheered as the oversized Wrath Demon left his platform, running toward the fight.

[Keep them coming! Weʼve got this!] Cara cheered.

”Cara behave. Hawk, stop pulling mobs until we kill the boss.” Dana warned.

”Boss?” Swag asked, right before a massive blade came whistling toward his head.

”Oh, that boss.”

Outside the Dungeon, concern was growing.

The colour of the dungeon entrance hadnʼt changed back to normal, and the first entrants had just returned.

Or perhaps, they should say survivors.

”Everything was going alright, we had downed the third boss, and we were about to start on the fourth of five, an Obsession Demon. Then there was a System Notification,” the team leader explained.

”A notification?”

The man nodded. ”It said {Difficulty Changed from Veteran to Nightmare} Then, the demon started laughing at us and left its platform to come hunt us.

What sort of boss leaves their spot?

But when it hit the mage, we all took damage. Nearly half our life, except for the Druid. He held off the boss while we fled, and then I summoned him to the

exit.

There wasnʼt even a chance to fight back. One hit and we were almost dead. If he had managed to hit anyone other than the druid with the second shot, before we were out of the dungeon, there wouldnʼt have been survivors.”

The other groups looked horrified. ”So, youʼre saying that the other groups, the ones who havenʼt come out yet, might all be dead?”

The man nodded. ”I think thatʼs likely if they were fighting a boss when the difficulty changed. Does anyone know what happened right before the change?

Did someone do something? Cast a spell? Win a duel?”

The Berserker and the New Home Clanʼs Assassin looked at each other.

”Uh, we were duelling at the time, but it changed while we were fighting.” ”Wait, your group, the ones from New Home with the cute fox girl, went in just before it changed. It didnʼt change immediately, but they were the last to enter before it changed.”

”Thatʼs The Moron and his friends. You canʼt think that bunch of misfits could have changed the difficulty of a dungeon?”

One of the Peak Immortal mages laughed. ”If anyone could change a dungeon difficulty accidentally, itʼs that idiot. The first time I met him at a trial, he informed me that the Gods were going to promote him straight to Supreme Rank, so he didnʼt need to have a skill for forming his Immortal Spirit.” One of the other Immortals laugh. ”I know who you mean now. He traded me a Supreme Ranked Fire Lotus for a Rare Grade Supreme Ranked sword.”

The Fire Lotus was an extremely rare resource for fire mage advancement, worth far more than any blade at the same Rank, and certainly more than a

Rare Grade blade.

”Exactly. Itʼs his usual group and a pair of newbies, the fox girl and her husband. Iʼm not taking the blame for that dungeon change. Someone from the earlier groups must have set new boss kill record.

They werenʼt in there long enough to have finished a boss fight.”

The Immortals who had arrived before him nodded. That assessment was right.

They hadnʼt been in there nearly long enough to have reached a boss, much less finished a fight.
