"Heal me!" Dave yelled at the casters, they started shooting hexes and spells at him, slowly increasing his HP.
Dave went in to attack the tengu again, this time he used the equipped [Shield Bash] Skill. The tengu was Stunned again, letting Dave get a couple more strikes in.
"I'm running out of stun skills! I need two more hits," Dave shouted.
"Move right! Heavy-hitter coming in!" Lone nocked an arrow and activated [Bombarda], the arrow turned red. As she drew and released flames flared out from the point and travelled back along the arrow shaft with a 'whumf' sound, like fuel igniting.
Dave dove to his right as the fiery arrow flashed past him and exploded against the tengu's armored chest, staggering it.
"Good!" Dave rushed in and swung his sword in a horizontal cut. As the slice landed he used the equipped Skill [Mountain Cleaver], which enabled him to instantly attack again even though he was overextended.
You have imparted the status effect
Embrittle!
Landing another hit on the target's armor will remove up to 50% of the armor's base defensive values.
"EAT THIS!" Dave activated the level 100 sword-Skill [Concussive Blow] and smashed his blade down like a club.
Armor Ruptured
"Dunlords, take him down!" Dave ordered as he beat a hasty retreat.
The dunlord's ballista bolts now dealt over 5,000 HP in damage per hit and had an increased Stagger effect.
"That was wicked Davey!"
"Damn, this yokai-guy is unbelievably OP. All those skills. And that speed! I needed every one of those Stuns just to land ten consecutive hits on him and get the armor embrittlement effect."
Dave moved to the rear area with the supports to recover some of his HP as the dunlords continued firing barrages of ballista bolts at the now flying tengu.
"We need to keep it under crowd control. Use your Slows, Stuns, Freezes, whatever you have as soon as they come off cool down.
The tengu suffered under the barrage of attacks from the dunlords. Add Dave and Lone's occasional stuns and crowd control abilities, the tengu began to struggle against the undead.
The tengu found a chance where he was not under CC and hacked at a nearby ghoul, slashing it in two perfect halves.
Two dunlords were already dead and the tengu still had over 60% of its HP left.
As for the other undead, Dave grit his teeth through the loss of his undead and started taking a more aggressive approach to the fight.
He would tank through hits for some of his underlings, using the shield's block and any ability he could spare, to save even one or two undeads.
A single strike from the tengu was enough to kill anyone except a dunlord. Lone was very careful to avoid or dodge any attack that came her way.
Another cast time countdown appeared over the tengu head as he started making shinobi-style hand seals.
A torrent of fire erupted out from the tengu, engulfing him and a wide area around him. He raised his right hand and the firestorm shrank down, gathering into a ball of fire that shot toward the closest group of dunlords.
Dave yelled a despairing denial, "NO!"
But the fireball was too fast. The projectile crashed into the dunlords, eating away huge amounts of HP and incinerating the unlucky nearby melee undead.
"Crap! This mini-boss is way overpowered!" Dave cursed.
The tengu's HP reached 50% as he managed to take down another dunlord.
Dave swapped his sword and shield for the Sworn Stalwart's gauntlets and activated [Aura], turning the space around his avatar into a blazing tornado.
His [Decimating Smash] came off-cooldown so he jumped up high and used it to smack the tengu as he came down, stunning the yokai and giving the dunlords a chance to fire their ballistae at him.
Some of the dunlords even managed to close in and attack the tengu with their poison tail barb, procing some DoT with their Poison effect.
Dave activated [Infernal Tornado] spinning like a top arundof the tengu. Though it didn't cause any damage, the stagger effect helped increase the damage from his unit's attacks.
Luckily as he was spinning two rune effects from his gauntlets procced, [Shock] and [Venom] adding more to the tengu's suffering.
The tengu who was ganged found a chance to escape and rose to the sky.
"Careful, it's going to use the Feather Storm again," Dave said as he was ready to use [Vertical Slash] and escape the damage.
"NO! he just used Feather Storm!" Lone shouted, "He's going into the second phase!"
"Oh shit!"
