Chapter 179: New team (2)
With Long Shui Ling's illusion power, we were even stronger than before.
Long Shui Ling's ability was the one thing that our party lacked.
We had a tank, plenty of damage, and support in the form of me and Qin Yue Ru, but we lacked a form of debuff that would confuse the enemy, making it harder for them to attack us and easier for us to attack them.
With Long Shui Ling's illusions helping us, it was easy for us to catch the enemies off guard.
In just an hour, we were already halfway through the dungeon according to the map that we had been provided.
The next location that we were heading was the area boss room.
So far, we had been sweeping through the monsters in the dungeon, but now it was really time to test ourselves with the area boss.
The area boss room wasn't that far off and it didn't take long for us to arrive.
When we did, we found that the area boss was…a large bat.
This bat was several times larger than the other bat monsters that we had faced before.
At the same time, there were some strange features about this bat that made it seem much more dangerous.
The main thing that concerned me were the fangs of its mouth.
It made it look like a vampire bat…
If we were bitten by it, would it suck our blood?
I shook that thought out of my head as I focused on the giant bat in front of me.
Instead of thinking these strange thoughts, I should be figuring out a way to take down this giant bat instead.
So I turned my attention to the room that we were in.
To call it a room was actually an exaggeration, it was better to call this place a cave instead.
It was a dead end where the giant bat had made its home which was a good thing for us.
After all, dead ends like this usually meant that fire was good to use and we had a very good source of fire.
The only thing that might have been a problem was if the fire went out of hand, but that wouldn't be the case with Blaze's control of his flames.
So I figured that would be our plan…but before I could say it, Long Shui Ling spoke first.
"I have something that I want to try."
All of us were surprised by this sudden comment from Long Shui Ling.
I looked at her and asked, "What do you want to do?"
But before she could respond, Claire suddenly said, "What is there to discuss? It's clear what we need to do." She turned and pointed at the cave before saying, "This is an enclosed space, we just have to trap them with fire and it'll all be over."
This was the same plan that I had thought of, so I couldn't disagree with it.
At the same time, the other three also nodded in agreement, showing that they had thought of the same thing.
These four really had improved quite a bit during this time that they were able to think of the same thing as me this quickly.
But Long Shui Ling shook her head when she heard this before saying, "That's a bad plan."
Claire immediately knitted her brows when she heard this before saying, "While I acknowledge your power, that doesn't mean that I'll acknowledge everything about you. You should know that we're speaking from experience and you're calling it a bad plan. So tell me, what do you think is a good plan then?"
Long Shui Ling hesitated for a second before saying, "If you use fire, all you'll do is create a trap for yourself. If the area boss can break free, then you'll be trapped by the flames you've created."
That was indeed one of the risks that using flames posed.
But that was only a risk that came with not being able to control the flames properly.
With Blaze's ability, he would be able to create the flame wall that would completely trap the area boss without giving it any room to escape.
So for Long Shui Ling to question this now meant that she didn't trust him.
That was why Blae felt a bit annoyed and he couldn't help knitting his brows slightly.
But in the end, he figured that it was because Long Shui Ling hadn't seen his powers yet and didn't know what he was capable of that she was saying this.
It wasn't because she was looking down on him.
Long Shui Ling then said, "If you give me one minute, I guarantee that I'll be able to create an opening for you to take down the boss in one move."
All of us couldn't help looking at Long Shui Ling with looks of disbelief.
After all, this claim…was just too wild.
She would be able to create an opening that would allow us to take down the boss in just one minute?
That didn't seem like it was impossible.
After all, we could tell how strong the boss was from the magic energy fluctuations coming from it.
But even with the looks of doubt that we had on our faces, Long Shui Ling looked at us with that confident look without backing down.
After a moment of silence, I slowly said, "How about we give her that chance? It's not as if we lose anything from letting her try, right?"
Three of the others nodded in agreement to this, but there was still one that had a sharp look on her face.
That person was naturally Claire who seemed like she was still against this.
So I calmly said, "As long as Blaze gets ready to cast his flames, we should be able to trap them even if she fails."
Claire gave a snort and said, "We shouldn't be wasting our time on this in the first place."
I gave a sigh and said, "Let's just try to trust her, alright?"
In the end, Claire said with another snort, "One minute, that's all."
Long Shui Ling revealed a smile when she heard this and she said, "You won't regret this."
With that, she started moving closer to the area boss.
