Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 32 -

The Goal, reaching level 20...Done.

The Goal, reaching Rank-1...Done.

Now, all that remains is to report to the academy as planned, but before that, there are two things that Aaron wants to do and needs to do.

The one that he wanted to do was something that he had wanted to do for some time.

To defeat the last floor boss.

---

Even after reaching level 20 or having seventy skeletons, it didn't make Aaron an idiot to challenge the boss of the dungeon.

Usually, that was done by a team of four to five near level 20 or ones that have already reached level 20. There is a reason for that.

Unlike the monsters that are seen on other floors, the dungeon boss is different.

First their health would not be what someone of level 20 would have. It's more than triple when compared to other level 20 monsters.

Second, it has skills that are problematic. It was not that it has those skills cause problems but how the boss uses those skills.

Though none can see what rank the skill is at, one can easily speculate that it is at least at Rank-4 or 5 in human terms.

For humans to reach that rank by level 20 is almost impossible.

Reaching Rank-4 can be done but Rank-5, that's definitely impossible. The problematic point was that no hunter would have just one skill. They would have at least two to three from the start.

When they reach level 20, that number may even rise.

So, having a Rank-4 or Rank-5 skill by level 20, seems very unlikely, unless someone wants to specialize in a single skill or two.

There are people that go through that route and wouldn't have too many skills. They would only learn other skills when they have enough SPs or have obtained other means to improve their skills.

Otherwise, they would live with a few skills throughout their life.

It was not just the skills and health but the other attributes of the boss are simply ridiculous. They would have reached the values of at least a level 25 monster. So, getting hit by the boss monster would drain at least half of the hunter's life, if not their full life.

Not getting hit and at the same time draining a lot of health was not something a single hunter could do. This is why everyone goes in a team, not solo as that could end up in their deaths.

After completing the Rank up, Aaron descended to the last floor, the floor of the boss.

There are no monsters here. There is nothing here, except for a big closed room. That was the boss's room. The boss can't leave that room. So, if hunters want to leave they can leave now but once they enter the room, then it's either kill or be killed.

There is no other way.

What Aaron wanted to achieve was already achieved but there was a reason why Aaron was willing to enter the boss's room.

Anytime the boss was defeated, the EXP gained would be very high. Added to that the first-time kill would give the hunter better loot.

Yeah, if the hunter was able to kill a boss the first time they entered the boss room, and this is for any boss room, the loot that they drop would be very high.

So, by killing every boss monster out there, one can earn a lot but one should know that defeating a boss is no small matter. It takes a team and as the rank of the boss increases, the need for an increase in the number of hunters on the team would rise.

It can be said that it won't be as easy as defeating the small-time bosses.

Aaron entered the boss room and as soon as he entered the room, the doors shut, making it impossible to leave.

He released his skeletons as soon as he stepped into the boss room. The boss room is after all a dangerous place and many have died here.

If he lets his guard down, even a little bit, then that would be it for him.

Killing a newly ascended Rank-1 hunter wouldn't be much of a problem for the boss.

Grrrr!

The boss smelled Aaron as soon as he stepped into the room. Instead of pouncing on him, the boss waited, but Aaron could hear its growls and judging by that it, he could estimate the general direction.

Keeping ten skeletons as guards, Aaron sent the other skeletons in the direction from which he heard the sounds.

The boss may have all the time in the world, not him.

Even though the room may have appeared small from the outside, there is a forest inside of it. He has to search for the boss in that forest, as there is nothing else here where the boss could be hiding.

He made sure that the Archers and Mages stayed behind in the assault team.

No matter whether it was a goblin or a wolf monster, killing it from a distance would be a good thing and also make it easier to kill it. If he loses those skeletons, he has to summon them again.

He can do that, as long as the ones that are still intact are able to keep the boss away from Aaron.

Grrr!

The growl appeared to be closer.

"Everyone get ready. The boss is near", Aaron commanded his skeletons, which caused them to be super alert for any movement in the forest that could pinpoint where it was.

"There it is", Aaron was happy that he found it before it made a move.

The boss monster was a Wolf which was known for its Agility, while the Goblin boss was for either their strength or Intelligence depending on which goblin appeared.

"Archers and Mages, aim for its legs and attack them with everything that you have. Others, get ready to face the attack as it comes closer to you", Aaron commanded his skeletons.

The first strike would be his and he would make the best of it. As long as its Agility was crippled, bringing it down would be that much easier.
