"Haein and General Han, I leave the front lines to you," Song Myungsoo ordered .
"Got it!"
"Understood . "
"As you all know, we've entered the sixteen-man dungeon over thirty times now, so we should all know what to expect . I'll take command when things change, but I leave the rest to your judgment . "
"Yes, sir!"
"Our goal is to reach the boss room faster than before! That's all we need to do . Let's go!" At Song Myungsoo's orders, Haein and Han Kyungchul spearheaded the party at a fast pace .
I studied the sixteen-man dungeon beforehand .
-In the end, it's not much different from the one-man dungeon . -
The dungeon was just at a bigger scale; the monsters and traps were all the same . All we needed to do was charge forward .
"I'll block the attack!"
"Bellowing Fire Pillar!"
"Razor Wind!"
"Kwek!"
The party fought like a well-oiled machine . It had been a while, but I did fight in parties in the past, as well . I'd had no choice, as a Fire Mage, and I could tell that they were all very experienced veterans .
-As expected of the Sunbin Guild . -
They were fighting so well that I didn't feel the need to step in yet .
"We put more mages in this party than fighters since you're here, Jiwon . We are benefiting from the increased burst damage from magic attacks . "
"Yes, I agree . "
We were making quick work of the monsters at first, but it wasn't long until we started to slow down . There were plenty of stronger monsters here to balance with the sixteen-man party . That was my cue .
While my main role was to deal with the boss, I also didn't want to stand off to the side while everyone else was giving their all . I was itching to have a go, as well .
"Mana Conversion – Fire . "
==[Mana Conversion – Fire Level 2 has been activated . ]==
I decided to save Warrior's Brave Spirit for the Myth Guild as its cooldown was too long . The Sunbin Guild wouldn't need the extra boost .
I pulled out my spear and sprinted past Haein and Han Kyungchul, who were busy holding off an Enchanted Stone Golem . Once I was behind the Golem, I flipped around and stabbed it in the abdomen .
My spear didn't pierce through its rocky armor, but it did manage to crack it in places . The force of the blow caused the Golem to stumble backwards where it crashed into the other Golems .
"Focus support on Jiwon . "
"Yes, sir! Fatal Blows!"
"Earth Armor, Brilliant Blessing, Roar of Rage . "
I ignored the messages telling me that buffs had been placed and shifted my attention to the other monsters . At that moment, Haein and General Han came up next to me .
"I'll block all of their attacks . Attack them and herd them into a corner . "
"We leave it to you, Jiwon . "
"Got it . "
I was much stronger than either of them, but I didn't turn down their help . I could also tell what Haein was planning .
I left one side of the horde to Haein and General Han, and started attacking from the other . Soon, we managed to gather them all together as we pushed them back .
"Exploding Flame Shot!"
"Chain Lightning!"
"Multi Stone Shot!"
Once they were all gathered, the mages fired off AoE spells . The splash damage from the spells and my constant pummeling of attacks soon felled all of the golems .
"Wow! To think Enchanted Stone Golems could be herded and destroyed like that…"
"How high is his STR?"
"His ATT speed is crazy fast, too . Did you see how all of the Golems were cracked from the force of his blows?"
In less than eight minutes, we had cleared the entire area of Golems .
"Damn…that was record speed . It always took us more than fifteen minutes to clear this area and the R&R team was sure that it was impossible to do it even faster…"
"To think it only took a single addition to the party…"
I could hear the Sunbin Guild members talk to each other in amazement, but it was getting a little too burdensome .
"Ahem! Vice-master Song, we're done here so… should we get going?" I asked Song Myungsoo who was also standing there in bewilderment .
"Ah! Uh… move out!" He quickly snapped to and gave the order .
We continued to forge ahead . The other monsters didn't have high DEF like the Golems, but we fought them using the same positions and methods . I attacked from the front while Haein and General Han guarded from the sides .
Each time the high-leveled monsters fell after a few of my attacks, I noticed the others grow ever more confident and at ease . The monsters that had given them so much trouble the past couple of weeks were being easily toppled now .
We continued to charge forward, quickly destroying the traps that got in our way .
==[Boss Room]==
"It took us 2 hours and 11 minutes!"
"The fastest we ever got here still took us three hours…"
"It's because we got rid of the monsters faster than before . "
"Lee Jiwon saved us a lot of time by destroying that boulder quickly, as well . "
"We're not done yet! Stay focused until the end!"
"Yes sir!" The gossiping party members quickly snapped to attention at Song Myungsoo's order .
"We leave it to you . "
"Yes sir . " I put my Harrier into my inventory and pulled out the enchanted spear . The real show was starting now .
From what I learned, when the boss's HP falls to 10%, it starts using its red and blue shields, switching them to block whatever type of attack was strongest . That was why the Sunbin Guild had so much trouble with it . They had to make sure the party was well-balanced with mages and fighters .
However, I was planning to defeat it before it could start using its shields .
-They also said that it has high MATT and accuracy, right? I should use that then . -
Haein and General Han had offered to tank the damage for me, but I had declined . I couldn't be bothered to deal with it and they would only end up getting in my way .
I confidently took the lead and entered the boss room . I could see the Lich suspended in midair, shrouded by a dark haze .
==[The Dark Lich's Cursed Aura seeps all around the room . ]==
==[Cursed Aura prevented by status immunity effect . ]==
"Altered Equality," I uttered quietly and a red smoke oozed from my body and headed straight for the Lich . The red smoke covered the Lich in an instant .
==[You have activated Altered Equality – Altered Equal Stats on your opponent .
Your opponent's base Stat points, Stat points increased by skills and items and Stat points granted by specials will all be redistributed .
Calculating all Stat points…]==
==[Your opponents Stats have been redistributed .
The effects of Altered Equality will last for the next 24 hours and you must wait that time before using Altered Equality on someone else .
Stat points received for Kiran will be set to 0 as payment for using Altered Equality . ]==
With this, the Lich's HP should have increased sharply, but that didn't matter to me . If everything went as planned, HP wouldn't mean much at all . It was better to lower its ATT speed and MATT .
As soon as I confirmed that Altered Equality worked, I charged in, while the people behind me started talking again .
---
"Why does it seem like the Cursed Aura's effectiveness dropped?"
"I know, right? Its range has been lowered, too . "
"Huh? It used to lower DEF and MDEF by 15% but now it's only at 9%!"
"You're right!"
"It must be because of that . "
"Yes sir . It seems the rumors we heard while in India were right . He stole his enemy's skill . "
"Was it called Equality?"
"Yes, sir . His opponent was a deity, and it was a deity-exclusive skill . It combines a target's Stat points together and distributes them equally . I heard that it was most effective against magic-oriented boss monsters . It makes raids much safer for parties . "
"Ha… geez . " Song Myungsoo could only watch Lee Jiwon in amazement . That man was special, that much he had to acknowledge . For that reason, Song Myungsoo tried his best to not undervalue Lee Jiwon but now, he couldn't help himself .
It wasn't because of Song Myungsoo himself, but because Lee Jiwon was just getting stronger too quickly . If he was ten steps ahead for one second, the next second, he would be fifteen steps ahead . It was almost as if the universe wanted Lee Jiwon to get stronger faster, and was pouring all of its luck into him . . .
------
The damage I was dealing now was nothing compared to what I could do with my Harrier, but I could tell that the Lich's HP was going down .
[HP Drain!]
"Yeah, yeah . Take as much as you want . " No matter how much HP it drained from me, it wasn't enough to hurt me significantly .
[Shadow Touch . ]
The Lich counterattacked with spells as much as it could, but it was all in vain . Altered Equality lowered its MATT so much that I didn't even need to block or dodge its attacks . Furthermore, the healers and supporters topped me off every time my HP dropped to a certain point .
I had attacked it more than forty times already, but Absolute Destruction hadn't activated yet . If I took the weapon enchant into account, I should have attacked it at least a hundred and sixty times now . . . .
-Go off, already . -
I was fully aware that it was completely random and I had no control over it whatsoever, but I really wanted it to activate already, as there were fifteen other people watching from behind .
Thankfully, it did right when I was about to cry out in frustration . The bolt of black lightning struck the Lich's head .
==[Absolute Destruction has been activated .
Your opponent dies regardless of how much HP it has . ]==
[Gahh!]
And just like that, the Lich screamed out in pain with its tongue out like a frog before bursting into a cloud of black smoke .
==[You have defeated the Dark Lich, the Boss of the sixteen-man dungeon .

I confirmed the message that appeared and turned to Song Myungsoo .
"Sa…save . "
=[Sixteen-man dungeon: 02:15:57 – this record has been saved under 1 . Not registering this record in 15 days will delete this record . ]==
"Holy shit… I can't believe it . "
"Did… did I miss something? The Lich was still fighting… where did it go?"
"We couldn't reach the three-hour mark, no matter what we did . "
"The Lich didn't even use its shields . It died before it lost 90% of its HP…"
"I know we heard that this might happen…but this is just…"
I could hear the other members sputter in shock behind the dumbstruck Song Myungsoo, but I just replied by standing even straighter . I also knew how overpowered it was .
It would go off eventually, as long as I attacked enough times . I actually drew reference from Wakaba, the original owner of Azazel's Boots .
==[You will be forcibly removed from this sixteen-man dungeon in one minute:
60, 59, 58…]==
