Chapter 0073

The party was able to keep their teamwork together because the next three bosses were lizard type mobs with no awful quality. They were still butt ugly but they didn’t shoot out the pus like substance like the Ugly Toad Lizard did.

The chest piece Erica got went a long way to appease her resentment. Leviene also got a weapon for her priest, a nice little wand she keeps fondling.

Wand of Shudor

Rare

+15 Intelligence

+15 Spirit

Leviene behavior was embarrassing. Even Sylphie had to avert her eyes lest she see something she’d never want to see.

Egarious stood between Leviene and Aetharious throughout the entire trek through the random spawn dungeon all the while sending Erica a message with his eyes and when it didn’t get through, he sent it through whisper.

[Egarious whisper to TresBelleSoliel]: Reign in your damn cousin before my brother goes blind.

[TresBelleSoliel whisper to Egarious]: You think I don’t want to? I’ve been smacking her on the head so much I think her intelligence went down a couple notches. I shudder to think how lewd she can get if I continue.

[Egarious whisper to TresBelleSoliel]:... You have a point.

[Egarious whisper to TresBelleSoliel]: Still, can you do something about it?

[TresBelleSoliel whisper to Egarious]: Not without permanent damage. If you are willing to bear Sylphie’s wrath, I’d be happy to oblige.

[Egarious whisper to TresBelleSoliel]: I think I’d rather face the Sinister Black Wyvern with one hands tied behind my back than to go against Sylphie. Your cousin hasn’t done anything against us and I’m already scared of her. I don’t want to see her cruel side anytime soon.

[TresBelleSoliel whisper to Egarious]: Then you understand my predicament.

[Egarious whisper to TresBelleSoliel]:... Sadly yes I do.

Leviene didn’t know how she caress her Wand of Shudor with reverence and drooling all the while looked from another’s perspective. All she cared about was the stats on the new weapon and that it is a blue rare wand.

She’s already level 48 and she been wearing grey junk. Grey crappy junk! Of course she’d finger her new weapon with care and affection and drool with greed at the thought of more gear coming her way.

She’d ask what everyone was disturbed about Sylphie glared them into silence. She gave a strange look at Leveine and said, “Wand of Shudor, Wand of Shudder. There is no helping you if you don’t understand.”

Leviene, being Leviene, didn’t understand a damn thing.

So the party cleared the rest of the random spawn dungeon with a disturbing image in their minds and a conflicted heart.

Everyone gave a sigh of relief when they saw the next boss.

“Leviene, change into Rayael and tank the boss.” Sylphie ordered her cousin with relish.

“Why? I thought you were training Egarious?”

Everyone thought, “We want to our mind with soap but it doesn’t do any good if your there to refresh the image,” but they didn’t say it.

“He had enough experience, but not enough experience to hold aggro on this boss. I’d prefer a dedicated tank rather than a hybrid for this boss.”

“Sure.” When Leviene change into Rayael, everyone breath a sigh of relief.

They can finally focus on the clearing the random spawn dungeon.

In the large room dotted with crystal clear pools of water reflecting the cave ceiling above is the last boss of the random spawn dungeon, the Mirage Mirror Chameleon.

If there wasn’t a name tag above the Mirage Mirror Chameleon, Rayael doubt she’ll be able to find the last boss at all.

Chameleons on Earth are known for their ability to blend into their surroundings but unlike squids or octopus which derived their abilities camouflage abilities by modifying their hues through accumulation or disbursement of pigments, chameleons change color through the use of their two superposed thick layers of cells that have pigments and reflect light.

The chameleons can change the structural arrangement of the upper cell layer by relaxing or exciting the skin, which leads to a change in color. When the skin is in the relaxed state, the cells are very close to each other so the cells specifically reflect short wavelengths, such as blue. On the other hand, when the skin becomes excited, the distance between cells increases, and selectively reflects longer wavelengths, such as yellow, orange or red.

Arashia is a world that mimics a virtual reality game. Things like the chameleon ability to mimic its surrounding through the layers of its is completely and utterly moot.

The fact the chameleons have no defensive ability such as extremely powerful jaws to bite their prey, poisonous skin like the Ugly Toad Lizard they fought previously or fast speed to run away is irrelevant.

As an experience gamer, Rayael can tell the Mirage Mirror Chameleon has been amped up, although what specific abilities it has aside from blending into its surrounding, Rayael can only guess.

It is already hard enough for Rayael to see the Mirage Mirror Chameleon as it looks like one of the many reflective ponds that dotted the boss room.

Erica, on the other hand, knows exactly what the Mirage Mirror Chameleon is capable of. Out of curiousity, she active her eye ability, Analytical Eye of Untold Secrets.

Mirage Mirror Chameleon

HP - 10,000

MP - 3000

Ability - Mirage Heart: Read the heart of the player on top of its threat list and takes the physical form of the player most important person.

Erica promptly shares the information to Sylphie and the cousin shared a secret smile.

Silly Rayael missed the plotting her relatives were planning behind her back as she prepares to tanks the boss.

Rayael heft her shield and immediately… walked to the boss.

Guardians, if the skills points are assigned correctly, are excellent tanks. They are considered the towering fortress of tanks, solid, dependable and unmovable. Guardians have excellents skills to bolster their stats and their defensive ability, but nothing for movement. If the mobs wants to run, then Rayael can only say goodbye. If Rayael wants to pull the mobs towards her, then she has to use her tail or throw a range weapon, but given Erica’s previous threat incident, Rayael opt for the safer walk-up-to-the-boss-and-attack method.

Rayael watched as the rest of her group members sedately walk up to the boss and poke it.
