For a second nothing happened.
Then..
Blood burst out like a fountain.
The massive creature staggered.
Then its body collapsed heavily onto the stone floor.
THUD.
The explorers stared for a moment.
It was over.
The long range ogre was dead.
And the timing had been perfect.
Arthur looked back toward the throne.
The boss monster was still watching.
But this time something changed.
Its eyes burned with clear anger.
The creature slowly raised its hand again.
Dark energy gathered faster this time.
The pulse spread across the battlefield.
The buff landed entirely on the lean ogre.
The creature roared.
Its muscles swelled.
Its strikes became even heavier than before.
CLANG!
Ryn barely managed to block another hit.
"Captain!" he shouted.
The captain stepped forward again, gripping his axe tightly.
Arthur watched the boss calmly.
Their eyes met again.
The boss's rage settled quickly.
Its face returned to that same cold calm.
