Our runs has finally reach the focal point where the attacks of our DPS is now getting weaker and the enemies are getting stronger and growing in numbers when we arrived floor 11. From what I can remember, players around level 30 below tend to avoid going up above level 10 due to how insane the damage and numbers of enemies which can easily crush a level 30 tank with full armor of Rare Equipment. And since players normally has no access to Rare Equipment due to how low the droprate of the rarity in lower leveled towns in Resurgia, most players only have at least one or none at all and will most likely have normal rarities.

I can tell the rumors in the past timeline are true. Even though I went past the level 30 and already level 45, my equipment are mediocre and has the minimum level of 30 to equip it which means it is weaker set compared to my level. If the announcement of the patch is not yet here, I would have managed to level my Blacksmithing skill, create a decent armor and get myself ready to the selection. But since it has changed already, I don't think I will be able to do that anymore which means I have to improvise my plan.

After a few assault of the monsters, we managed to find a place in this floor where monsters are not spawning.

"Let's get some rest guys and recover your HP and MP, we can't afford to get wiped out in here," the swordsman said.

Everyone sighed in relief as they took out their potions and chug the contents. It might be just a game but exhaustion is also applied here like how it happens in the real world where you do a lot of things, you also get tired, here in this world, you will also get tired and to recover your tiredness, resting will help.

Everyone started to talk with each other while resting. On the other hand, I didn't bother to do so and just stand guard. Of course, I made sure to observe the others. Ever since the moves of these guys since floor 8 have caught my attention, I am keeping an eye to them. Their moves are clear as day and I am sure they are planning something.while waiting for the right opportunity. Newbie players will not suspect a thing on them but to someone who always gets fooled before on these kinds of teams allowed me to build up the way to effectively catch these guys and deal with them.

"How many drops are currently in our possession?" the swordsman asked.

"We have at least 6 pieces of rare equipment, and 31 pieces of normal equipment. The monsters also managed to drop 75,000 silvers too," the male cleric said.

"Wow, that's a lot of rare equipment! Also, the normal equipment will fetch a lot of prices once sold to the shop!" Dolly said excitedly.

"Of course. We worked hard for it, so that is already normal," the female cleric said in a stoic face.

"But proceeding to the next floor is going to be hard especially the enemies are too hard now to deal with. Should we still proceed further on?" the gunslinger asked.

"It all depends on the situation. Since it is still viable to fight against the monsters, it would be better to grab a few more equipment before returning, what do you all say?" the swordsman suggested.

The others immediately approved. I didn't voice out my intention but it was clear as day that they don't care about my opinion seeing that they did not even bother to ask me who is the one tanking so it is better to shut my mouth up and just wait for what they wanted to do.

...

The rest is short but enough to refill everyone's stamina to work. We continue to do the farm and kill enemies left and right. Although it is not as efficient as before, we can still do the battles properly. Soon, we managed to break through the enemies and finally saw the Gate, leading us to the next floor.

Just as we are about to get into the gate, a rumbling sound occured and shook the cavern we are currently in.

"What is going on?!" the male cleric asked as he frantically try to keep his stance firm.

They didn't know this one but I am surely remembering this phenomenon since I am a frequent player in the tower dungeon. This is the sign that the Featured boss in this tower has finally awoken. But to think it will spawn in floor 11, it was definitely a surprise.

A loud roar echoes throughout the area as we finally saw the boss has finally spawned.

[Labyrinth Monster]

Level 45

HP: ????/????

MP:????/????

The [Labyrinth Monster] is considered as one of the hardest beginner bosses present in the current patch. Although it is not considered as the strongest beginner boss, it is one of the trickiest to defeat since it has a lot of gimmicks in its arsenal. In our current team, I am quite sure that these guys won't be able to deal much damage against it. If I fight this one, it would take some time before I can defeat it. It is not impossible to solo but it is taxing job to kill an enemy.

"Tank, get ready to tank the damage! Dolly, be sure to release heavy magic! We will be dealing with a boss this time!" the swordsman said in a serious tone.

I didn't respond but I cast [Taunt] and ready my shield to the attack of the boss. Dolly immediately goes into action.

"Ice Prison!"

The boss immediately got provoked and since my Taunt is strong, the boss immediately shifted its attention to me and attack.

BANG!

The attack hit my shield but the damage is not big enough for me to die yet. Dolly released magic skills left and right but now that we are dealing with the boss, I suddenly realized that the others did not attack. As I was about to turn and see what these guys are doing, my interface pop up in front of me and showed me a message. Even Dolly received it.

[YOU ARE KICKED IN THE PARTY]

When I look back, I saw Blue lights dissipate which means one thing, those guys have teleported. Since they didn't provoke the boss, they can easily teleport back to the first floor and escape. On the other hand, we will not be able to escape if the boss has already been taunted.

"What?! They kicked me in the party?!" Dolly panicked.

"Don't worry, you are not the only one," I said and showed her the interface showing the message.

"They ran away with the loot and gold?! And leave us dealing with the boss!? They want us to die?"

"Precisely, yes," I calmly said.

"If that is the case, how come you are still calm?!" Dolly is already in the verge of tears.

"Of course. As a tank, I have to keep myself calm or else, things will not go well. Since it is only the two of us are left, accept my invitation, we will beat up this boss and get back our loot."

Didn't expect that kind of betrayal. I thought they will be backstabbing us while farming enemies but to think they will do the boss to do the job of killing us, that is a smart move for them. However, that doesn't mean the plan they cook will work especially if they are dealing with me. I will let them enjoy their triumphant escape and betrayal, for now... First before escaping the floor is to kill the Labyrinth Monster.

"Do you even know what you are saying? We don't have enough DPS! We also have no healer! How can we deal with this boss?

"I already got that covered. Come forth, Atlas!"

A magic circle appeared before us and before the attack of the Labyrinth Monster hits us, Atlas appeared and blocked the attack.

I flick the shield and spear and it transformed into a Ceremonial Staff which is the weapon for a cleric.

"What is going on?!" Dolly was stunned on what she was seeing.

As for me, I moved to the nearby Shield-bearer Orc that we killed earlier who is on par of a mini boss.It has a tanky defense so the ability to tank attacks is enough for this guy to handle. I looked at my skill interface and stare into the skill I have spent my SP earlier which cost me 35 SP just to upgrade to the skill that can still be learned on Level 45.

[Raise the Dead V]

5th tier

Mana Cost: 2,000 MP

Cooldown: 5 seconds

Description: Raise a dead monster that will follow the bidding to the summoner. Can be used for summoning more than one undead with a maximum of 10 undead. The monster will have the stats of the summoner and will last for 1 hour. After the duration, the undead will crumble and fall to dust.

Notes: A really good skill for people who has no friends but wanted to go out and have some fun with other people. It's your birthday but no one greeting you? Raise a few undead and hit the bar to go on a drinking party. How does that sound? Celebrate it with your true undead friends, that might feel better.

Looks like the new class that I learned will be a good addition. I move aside and grinned while staring at the boss fighting against Atlas. Looks like this is the proper time to impersonate the original person who usually do this. Fans of that particular , I salute you fellow comrade.

"ARISE."
