The team managed to catch up just before the golems charged directly onto the platform where Cerberus was standing.
The bears took the position of Karl and Thor, drawing the boss’ attention, and letting them turn him away from the group so that Oathbreaker could do as much damage as possible.
With the whole team in place, the damage stacked quickly, and the Elders were beginning to notice that something was off with their damage.
They were all in a group for the Dungeon, so [Rampage] affected everyone, and they had been moving faster than usual this run, so the damage done in the last minute was higher than the previous run.
It was increasing with their focus and the extra mana that they were putting into their attacks.
Last run, they had paced themselves for maintenance. This time, they were going all out to kill everything as fast as possible. The speed was enough to give Elder Alix a bit of hope for their future, as the boss was already visible losing health.
Cerberus turned to the group, intending to give them a triple dose of flame breath out of annoyance with their battle tactics.
Thor created a curved [Bulwark] around the boss’ head, deflecting the flames harmlessly to the side, where they only did minimal damage to the golems that were gathered in melee range behind the boss.
Tian groaned as he suddenly had to do a lot more healing than expected.
He had gotten used to the bears, which took so little damage, and this was the first real healing that he had to do.
This was almost like work.
Dana gave the little fox a pointed look as he silently grumbled about doing his job, and Tian began adding extra notes to his [Inspiration] tune, trying to drown out her mental chastisement.
Nobody was going to die, he was healing more than enough for that, and Leo didn’t have to step in with [Rejuvenation] to assist.
Cerberus was not going to simply go down that easily.
Instead of letting Thor block his mouth again, he turned and bit down on three of the golems, before dousing them in flames.
That was much more effective, even if it greatly limited the area of effect.
However, his flame breath couldn’t be used constantly, it took time to prepare it again. So, he had to let the golems go to defend himself properly. That was an annoyance, as they kept switching positions, which was making it difficult for the three headed demonic dog to focus down any of the targets.
With the constant incoming healing, it only took a few seconds before the majority of the damage that he had done to be recovered.
Cerberus fought valiantly right to the last second, but the result was as predicted.
{Iron Man Bonus In Effect} Rewards will be granted upon completion.
The constructs and summoned creatures immediately moved on to clear a path through the snakes and the bears, making their way to the final boss.
The same as last time, they were recovering before joining the fight. But unlike last time, they were remaining behind the group so that they didn’t get ambushed by snakes and delayed in reaching the boss due to burning more mana.
"Do we have a timer?" Elder Kushal asked as they walked through the woods, regaining energy for the final push.
