Burning-Eyed Shana's class was a rare advancement of warrior like Zhao Feng's Fengshui Master . It was not considered as a Hidden Class . It was not unique as others could pick up the advanced class . However, the advancement quest would be extremely hard .
Almost all rare advancement classes were strong and had a specific role . Zhao Feng's Fengshui Master for example, was focused solely on support . He could not heal and had very average attack power . In a small party, most would ignore him . Only large parties would benefit from him .
Archdemon Fighter had its own pros and cons . Among the warriors, this class was the only one that had a great range of attack . An Archdemon Fighter's weapon of choice would be a spear . Hence, it had a longer range compared to a hammer or a sword . However, by having a spear, close quarter combat would be extremely weak . When an enemy got too close to an Archdemon Fighter, they would be helpless like a Hunter .
Although the attack range of an Archdemon Fighter was longer and further than a typical warrior, their maximum attack range was only twenty meters . To put it in perspective, a magician's cast range would be thirty-five meters and a bow-user would have a maximum attack range of forty-five meters .
An Archdemon Fighter not only had limited range attack—their continuous fighting capability was also weak . The class's advantage was having a very powerful burst of attack . Or in gaming terms, nuking power .
When an Archdemon Fighter activated Berserk mode, they would lose 1% of their maximum health points per second, unable to receive heal, in exchange for gaining 50% increase in attack power as well as 100% magic attack imbued attack .
If a Berserk was like a guerilla attack, an Archdemon Fighter would be the suicide squad bomber . For a short duration, they would gain an explosive burst of attack in exchange for their survivability . If an Archdemon Fighter has the element of surprise, any Hidden Class player would be killed by him . On the other hand, if an Archdemon Fighter was caught off guard, they would not prolong the fight, perhaps even consider running away since an Archdemon Fighter would lose .
"Everything seems fine . Let's go!"
The team had Little Rain as the magician and Zhao Feng, a full-time supporter and a half-baked attacker . All in all, the team composition was a mess . Even so, Jiang Fei was too lazy to rearrange the team .
"Bottom of the Bloodpool" was in the middle of the city hence everyone arrived fairly fast . Once Jiang Fei chose the dungeon difficulty, everyone entered .
"EH?!" cried Eversummer when she saw Isabella walking behind Jiang Fei .
"She does not appear in the party's member list . How did she get in?" asked Lady Casanova when she too noticed Isabella .
"Don't fret . She's not a player . She's my battle companion!" Jiang Fei purposely omitted the word pet since he knew that Isabella would be angry if he did .
Now that everyone was already in the dungeon, Isabella's true nature was exposed . Jiang Fei did not forget to hide her, it was only that he was too lazy to continue playing dumb with everyone . Besides, he had already let her go all out during the war . Even though there were some who had not yet seen her with their own eyes, the news about Isabella's transformation into a powerful dragon would be spread across Dawnlight City faster than a viral video .
"I see . "
Everyone was shocked for a moment when they understood the situation and promised Jiang Fei to keep it a secret . However, Jiang Fei did not care about their promises . At that point, Jiang Fei not keeping Isabella in the pet slot was proof that Jiang Fei did not mind about her real nature being exposed .
Even though Isabella's true nature was a surprise to everyone but once they knew that she was not a player, her powerful attack became easier to digest . If she was a player, it would be hard to believe since her attack and stats would be too powerful for a player to even have . No one could have the power to kill 200,000 players like that . On the other hand, it was considered to be normal for NPC (non-playable character) to be that strong .
As to how Jiang Fei managed to enslave such a powerful NPC would be a mystery . It was either luck or perhaps Jiang Fei was just too sly of a person . How else would he be a guild master?
The commotion with Isabella ended very swiftly and after everyone confirmed their roles and their positions, the team charged into the first wave of monsters .
"Anew, you're to deal the killing blow if other attacks could not finish the monster . Remember to protect the two Cloth armors," said Jiang Fei to Anew Returner . In a party dungeon, every member of the party must have their specific roles and not to attack random monsters at will . When Jiang Fei was alone before, he had Isabella to take care of the battle . Everything would end so fast that Jiang Fei did not need to even attack . In a party, if the tank had failed to hold on to a monster's aggro, they would head straight toward those who dealt the highest damage, most commonly, the magicians . Hence, if the party was not careful, death would be inevitable, especially in higher difficulty dungeon .
"I don't really care about how you guys work together but I'm going to attack . Find a proper rhythm for yourself," said Jiang Fei before he charged in head first and cast Instant Ice Burst .
Flame Burst!
That was Jiang Fei's and Isabella rhythm .
A sea of explosion filled the screen as damage texts popped out .
-14,554
-15,731
…
Since Isabella could not equip anything on them, they relied on their levels to gain power . Now that Jiang Fei had reached Level 42, Isabella's overall strength had greatly increased .
"WTF! Over 10k damage? How is that possible for an AoE skill?" Anew Returner cried in awe .
"Kill the intruders!"
After Isabella's attack, all the aggro of the monster was focused on her . Not even Jiang Fei could deal such potent damage, much less anyone else .
Black Dragon Breath!
A stream of darkness came outpouring from Isabella's mouth and instantly killed all the monsters .
"F*cking hell! No wonder Jiang Fei could solo this dungeon! Not even forty players could clear this dungeon as fast as him!" said Anew Returner .
At that point, it was as Lady Casanova has anticipated much earlier, Jiang Fei was clearing the dungeon whilst babysitting the other party members . There was not much to do since Isabella and Jiang Fei's combination attack was too strong . All they could do was to simply attack a monster that had slid out of their position and escaped from Isabella's certain death skill .
"Now I know how the guild master remained at the top of the ranking board! We have eight people right now and we are getting experience points like a waterfall . Imagine having all those experience points alone . He could even gain two to three level in just one dungeon run!" said Anew Returner to himself . Ever since he had entered the dungeon with the party, he had been muttering to himself .
"No one would call you a mute if you shut your bloody mouth!" Lady Casanova screamed at Anew . This bugger was her underling . Before the merging of the guilds, she had been patient with his blabbering . However, since this was the first time Jiang Fei had invited her, she had to take care of that chatterbox . Talking to himself nonstop was so embarrassing for Lady Casanova .
"Hehe…"
While Lady Casanova was fuming, the others were giggling . They had nothing against Anew Returner's constant blabber since they were ignoring him . Instead, they were amazed at how he was able to continue talking to himself while attacking monsters at the same time . That mouth was like Chris Tucker's 7-11 [1] .
