"Hurray, we draw a rare boss!!"
After drawing the rare boss, I guess beginner's luck at its work, we immediately jumped in to fight against it.
We have 8 flutes thus giving us 32 chances to pull the rare boss but said chances are just 70% so it's not exactly good enough of a number.
That's why I'm glad that we were able to pull the rare boss right from our first try. This, too, must be the blessing of Sachineko-sama. I'm going to buy Sachineko-sama some expensive tasty meat!
"Rika, please take its aggro."
"Roger! I'm Rika, and I'm going to take your head for you are my target, ?Warrior's Beginning?! ?Body Double?!"
Rika immediately stepped forward at my instruction and began to gather the rare boss's aggro metre towards herself.
Rika basically doesn't need to give out her introduction when using?Warrior's Beginning? but that just seems to be her way of doing. And if you think about it, introducing themselves is really warrior-ish.
"Wooof!"
"... Hey Zephyr, the boss just let out a dog-like shout!"
"Seems so."
That was all I could say.
"The rare boss is... quite fat for a squirrel (?) Isn't it? It would have been more cute if it was just a bit more slim."
"Woof!?"
Even though its target had been set on the Rika, the ?Electric Bear-cum-Squirrel? looked back at us as if to say “Really?” at Ester's remark.
I don't know what it was but maybe there was something in her statement that transcends the general concept of aggro.
Though that has been said, Rika wasn't the one to ignore such an opportunity when the opponent itself showed a gap.
"I'm impressed you have the leeway to look somewhere else! ?Shogun's Burst? ?Flash Point?! ?Dark Sweep?!"
"Wooo!"
"A gap, come on. ?Force Sonic?! ?32 Star Stream?!"
Karua also joined, raising a quite vague shout and further tilting the advantage to our side.
"Woof! Howl Howl Woof!"
"Haaa, ?Take and Return?! ?Begone?!"
"Hn. ?Evade Dash?!"
The ?Electric Bear-cum-Squirrel? followed up with a ?Electric Bear Punch? however Rika easily received and tanked it. What magnificent movework!
Rika is really so good at switching in her offensive and defensive stance. Karua, probably to avoid winding in, took her distance from there.
Karua's hit-and-run tactic was equally impressive.
"Grrrrr!"
Rika easily offset the three consecutive full power attacks and further increased the aggro on herself.
From there began the furious skills onslaught from the boss.
We also found it the right time and jumped at the rare boss.
"Leave the support to me! ?Divine Protection?! ?Blessing of the Guardian Dog?!"
"Everyone attack the rare boss from its flank and back while it is focused on Rika! ?Sonic Sword?!"
"Got it! ?Charge Spear?!"
