Warlock of War: My Ares System

"BACK UP!"

The slight indents on the frog's body had been filled with paralyzing yellow fluid, and as it revealed its back, I could see a slight demon face appear on it due to the liquid.

Shivers were sent down our spines as it waved its hand towards us, creating a splash of yellow liquid that managed to hit most of us.

A mage from a higher tier could've been useful as they had magical shields, but why would a B-rank magician downgrade to a D-rank magician?

It just doesn't make sense.

"ARCHERS!" The leader shouted, already prepared for this next stage.

Feeeeewwww

Exactly twenty arrows with explosives attached to them flew above me but then suddenly split into two hundred arrows… still, with menacing explosives attached to them.

Another archer skill: [Duplicate].

Some gunmen actually use it, but most of the time, the bullet hits the target before they can even activate the skill, so only highly skilled ones use it.

On the other hand, archers have about half a second before it hits their target, so this was the optimal skill for them.

Also, I didn't know this, but it seems that it also duplicates whatever is on the arrow.

The boss noticed this and immediately tried to swipe away the volley before it could explode, but that just sped up its demise as the explosives blew away its hand.

Tons of paralyzing liquid flew at us, freezing most of us again, but the archers continued to use all their mana and strength in this one repetitive attack.

Thankfully, the boss was getting pushed back with each attack, so the liquid missed, allowing us to recover and back up while the archers continued to cover for us.

But, they could only last so long as eventually the volley just turned into twenty arrows that didn't even have explosives.

"WE'RE OUT ON EXPLOSIVES! WE ARE ALSO EMPTY ON MANA!" A few of the archers announce, and upon hearing this, the leader follows up by saying,

"TANKS! GET READY TO SPRINT! IF YOU DON'T KNOCK THAT THING OVER NOW! WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE TROUBLE LATER!" The leader shouted as this was the final push.

As soon as the smoke of the explosions cleared, we saw the massive toad with only one arm continuously stumbling back.

.

[Gigant Lightning Toad - Boss]

[Health Remaining: 1193/8000]

.

It's almost dead… But there aren't enough people dead… Hmmm… Well, I guess I could just do that.

There weren't enough people dead to increase the reward like the Toxic Slime Dungeon, but there was only one last way I could save this raid and get the item I wanted…

"CHARGEEEE!" The leader shouted, and we all sprinted towards the toad.

Though the toad noticed us, it was already too late as the tanks did one last shield bash, throwing the boss onto its back, allowing all the damage dealers to surround it.

Its weak point… and the place that will give me the most contribution… is, of course, the head.

After pouring half of my remaining mana into my spear, the size of my blade quadrupled, drawing some attention from the surrounding swordsmen and causing the people surrounding the head to back up.

It was a smart move for me as I could get the most contribution with just this one strike.

SHING

The sound of a weapon tearing through the air resounded across the cave, and the paralyzing juices numbed my upper body.

But…

[Proceed to the Treasure Room for your Prize]

.

"Very nice," I muttered as I stared up at the panel while dropping to the floor, completely covered in yellow liquid.

My entire body had seized up a bit, but after a few minutes and the help of the surrounding swordsmen, I was able to get to the treasure room without much hassle.

A giant treasure chest was revealed to us as we entered the room, surrounded by hundreds of fake bags of coins, which made me sad because we were unable to take them.

"Hey, that initial damage was your cause, right?" The leader suddenly whispers to me as I stand towards the back of the crowd.

"Yes. Please forgive me for acting on my own. I even got one of the porters killed," I quickly apologized, but his reaction was unexpected.

"Eh, it's fine. We managed to clear this thing with minimal casualties. In fact, pick the reward you want," He gestures for the treasure chest.

.

[Rewards]

[1. [Paralysis Coated Slime Dagger]

[2. [Large Potions (x10)]

[3. [Jar of Lightning Slime]

[4. [Tough Paralysis Inducing Membrane]

.

I quickly picked up the jar of yellow slime and helped take apart the boss from before as it was the main source of income for the raid.

The previous boss I fought dissipated into dust as its last "fuck you" while still semi-intelligent.

I didn't realize this until I got access to the dungeon section of the library, but it's not like we could collect the parts of it anyway, as we had no porters or people who specialize in taking apart monsters like these.

"Okay, we can either decide to split the rewards or sell them," The leader immediately takes a poll, but the obvious result came back.

"Seems we're selling it," I muttered before glancing up at the final few panels.

.

[You have completed the Side Quest: Complete the Lightning Slime Dungeon]

[Time remaining: Infinite]

[Reward has been granted]

.

A small clear vial appeared in my hand, and the liquid inside of it was a pure magic blue that had a few sparkles dancing within it.

As I didn't know what this was used for, I decided to shove it into my back pocket, under my armor and felt the weightless feeling of being teleported.
