Karl stopped when he entered the Dungeon and waited for everyone to come out.
Even Thor had joined them today, a rare change as of late, as he was quite enjoying his peaceful alone time with Tessa.
Soon, Karl would have to talk to the Cleric and the Behemoth about matters of marriage, or where their relationship was going. He might not be the most responsible leader in the world, but he wasn’t going to end up with a deadbeat father among his partners.
Thor snorted in amusement at the thought.
There was no way that he would abandon his hatchlings.
The dragons entered just before Rae summoned her Spectral Knights and Golems. From what Karl could see, the advancement to Mythic Rank hadn’t caused any major changes in her skills or constitution, but with her improved power level, it should still be a huge jump in her damage output.
"What difficulty do you want?" The War Cleric asked.
Rae gave him a look that made his blood run cold. Spiders might not have expressions in the traditional sense, but he was quite certain that she intended for there to be carnage.
Karl chuckled as Cara came out to stand on Rae’s head in solidarity.
"Well, that’s two votes for all the difficulty. Did you all eat a big breakfast? If we do that, then the last boss will be Immortal. But so will the best loot."
The four blue dragons shared excited looks then nodded. "If you think that we can do it, then we will go with your plan."
[DUNGEON LEVEL 6 ENGAGE!] Cara cheered.
{Invalid Team Member} The System informed her.
Cara glared at the message. It worked when she was messing with Deve. Why couldn’t she upgrade the maximum difficulty now?
Karl laughed and scratched her head.
"Level five is fine." He began, but Rae glared at him.
No way was she missing out twice.
"Fine, Dungeon, maximum difficulty." Karl agreed.
{Safety Limits Overridden At User Request. Difficulty Level Six chosen.}
The dragons stared at Karl in concern.
They had said difficult, but what sort of option did you have to pick to get a safety warning in a Dungeon? They all came with a risk of death.
Rae cheered as she charged forward, leading the Golems into combat, and leaving only the Bodyguards with Karl and the dragons.
Then, she began to test her new abilities, while Karl motioned for the dragons to wait.
"Give her ten seconds, it’s her first fight since her advancement. Give her the chance to see how her power is before we get involved." He explained.
That would be great for Rae’s Mythic Debut.
With Rae in combat, [Predation] was quickly adapting to give steadily increasing bonus damage along with [Rampage].
The extra damage from so many attacks was stacking to an incredible degree, and without all of Dana’s Golems here it was even more noticeable.
Even Thor’s attacks on the Mythic Apes were doing noticeable damage already.
The only issue was that it only lasted a minute, so when they got to the boss, most of the stacks would fall off.
[I’m going to send everything to charge the boss as soon as I clear those Totems.] Rae informed Karl.
"Drive the mobs backward! We’re taking them to the Boss platform, and we will finish them as we start the boss fight." Karl relayed.
The Haint mentally nudged Karl as it fought. A merger would boost its damage output. It might look like a Treant, but it was actually a living weapon, and most of its combat ability came when it was wielded.
"I will join." The War Cleric agreed.
"You stay here. I will tank the boss in Dragon form. Watch and you’ll see the trick to keeping it from hurling stone attacks at the group on top of the stone spike waves." Karl explained.
With the Haint Claw merged, Karl activated [Avatar] at Immortal Rank using the Amulet of Destruction.
A flap of his wings was enough to fly over the fights and onto the boss platform to beat Rae’s Blood Golems to the fight. Three minutes in, and they were already at the first boss. Rae’s tactics really were effective.
