《Nirvana》Inside a Dungeon
Advertisement
They teleported to a small room. It was unexpected.
There was no one else in the room other than them. The game auto sorted through parties.
If someone wasn't in a party, then they would get sent to an empty room. The system will send other players who aren't in a party into the room. It will force them to group up.
It was a good way to make friends and work together with other players.
You couldn't solo the dungeon even if you wanted to. Since the game makes you wait for the minimum amount of players.
Since this was a 5 man dungeon they got no new players.
After the system teleported them into the room, they saw the five entrances that Flower Queen talked about.
They didn't want to overestimate themselves so they challenged the easy difficulty.
His party wanted to be familiar with the dungeon before they took on any harder difficulties. They all agreed to do it once on the easy mode.
The system teleported them once more.
This time they appeared next to a creek.
[Riverbed Dungeon]
[A dungeon on the riverbed. It crawls with monsters and bosses. Move with caution.]
[Easy Difficulty]
[All monsters are 10% weaker]
The easy difficulty made the enemies weaker by a small margin. This was useful in learning the enemy's attack patterns and DPS. (1)
There was a clear path forward. The path seemed to be calm and peaceful. The path was next to the river which made them assume that some monsters would rise out of the water.
They walked with caution. They trusted the game's warnings.
A monster jumped up from the river.
Emile identified the monster.
Fishman
Normal Monster
Level 10
Hp: 378/378
Atk: 53-65
MAtk: 32-43
Agility: 32
High Agility and average in everything else
Weakness: Electricity/Lightning
The Fishman was weaker than the alligator. It made sense since the alligator had a higher level than it.
"Flowing Dream can you tank the attacks," Emile asked.
"Yeah, I can survive 7-8 hits," Flowing Dream responded.
His HP was high due to putting most of his stat points into Vitality. He also had a decent amount of uncommon pieces of equipment.
Flowing Dream grabbed the Fishman's attention by provoking it.
Emile's party quickly went next to the Fishman and attacked it. They killed the Fishman without a challenge.

They moved forward on the path. More Fishman blocked his path as they continued.
They continued to kill the Fishman which gave a lot of experience. Emile experience bar rose to 33% full.
They noticed that the path became wider and in the distance was a giant Fishman with more Fishman surrounding it.
"Let me use a fireball to grab the attention of the Fishman," Time Walker said.
His party agreed on this.
Time Walker had a decent amount of skill when he played. They didn't consider him a top-notch player or an expert; all he was that he better than an average player.
He cast the fireball about 10 meters in front of another Fishman. The Fishman noticed the fireball.
A few Fishman's ran towards their party as they shrieked. Not too many appeared ran after them.
Emile and his party made the Fishman group split up even more. The Handsomest Crab's job was to run around and avoid the Fishman. Everyone else had to kill the Fishman that was chasing him.
This worked out since the Fishman died one by one.
After they killed the first group of Fishmen they went to look for more Fishmen to kill. They lured more Fishmen using the same method.
They weren't very intelligent since they fell for the same tactic multiple times. They can consider this a flaw that Nirvana had.
Intelligent mobs were rare. Only mobs that were of Chief-Rank or Great-Chief rank had intelligence.
After killing off all the Fishman's that surrounded the boss, they identified the boss. His party couldn't identify the boss due to the boss being a higher level.
Emile didn't have this problem since he had Pinpoint. He could see the stats of opponents that were up to 10 levels above him. That's how he viewed the stats of the Aqua Alligator.
He identified the boss.
King of the Fishman
Chief Ranked Monster
Level 10
Hp: 7654/7654
Atk: 90-95
MAtk: 32-45
Agility: 36
Skills: {Waterfall} {Berserk}
Weakness: Lighting/ Electricity
The stats were underwhelming. The skills were the same as a normal Chief Ranked monster. There was nothing special about its stats.
Flowing Dream became the tank. He could survive a decent amount of hits before Emile would take over.
The fight started out normally with no problems. They switched out when one person was low on health.

If they could use the lightning wand that they got from the wizard then the boss would have lost health faster. Alas, they weren't level 10 so they couldn't equip the wand.
The boss would attack them with their sharp looking claws. Sometimes they avoided their attacks and other time they got hit by the boss.
If they dodged too much, then the boss would switch its focus. It would attack the other party players.
The health of the boss went down to 75%.
The unique thing about Nirvana was that it had different indicators when the health of the boss reached a certain point.
When it reached 75% they could smell the blood of the Fishman showing that their attacks damaged the boss.
It was a small detail but gave the game more realism.
The boss used {Waterfall}.
Water rose from the river and made a blanket of water above them. The water flowed downwards. Doing this dealt loads of damage to them since the water was pure. It was like poison for them.
They ran out of the range. They took damage from the attack. The slower ones took more damage.
Flowing Dream had low health from this and had to switch out with Emile earlier than they intended.
Emile wasn't at full health which caused problems. He could tank fewer hits from the boss before having to switch.
It was a continuous cycle. They would never return to full health unless the other's also tanked. They wouldn't be able to tank as satisfactory as Emile or Flowing Dream.
Waterfall ended a few seconds later. They ran back in and resumed their earlier positions.
The boss didn't change much from before. They used the same method to attack the boss.
The boss went down to 50% of its health before using waterfall again.
They ran out as soon as the water rose into the air. They ran 30 meters away from the boss. The boss cast the waterfall on nothing.
Emile's party continued to attack the boss.
Everything seemed normal.
At 32% of its health, something unique happened.
There were voices in the distance.
"There's the boss. Wait, there are players attacking the boss." Stereo Boost said.
"Let's kill steal," Night Shadows said with a cold grin.
"Yeah, the boss is at 32%. That party is strong." Stereo Boost said.
"Not as strong as us," Night Shadows said before laughing.
"Stop wasting time, let's go. I'll kill the one named Mystical Flame. You guys take your own person." Nestle Milk said.
Their party of 5 were from the same guild. They were close to each other.
They ran and attacked Emile's party who suspected nothing.
"Let go of the boss; kill the players first," Emile shouted after hearing rustling behind his back. He had turned around and saw a few players.
Emile took control of the bosses attention. He directed the attacks on one player.
The boss attacked one enemy.
Emile attacked the opponent once.
-148
The enemy didn't fall.
"You're my opponent," Nestle Milk shouted as he attacked Emile.
Emile evaded his attack.
While retreating he cast fireball.
He released it at Nestle Milk who dodged the attack.
He didn't dodge the second fireball. He didn't expect Emile to summon two fireballs in quick succession. It hid the second fireball from view.
The fireball did high damage to Nestle Milk.
Nestle Milk became cautious towards Emile. They activated berserk.
It boosted their stats a lot. It was almost the same thing as Emile's berserk.
Emile also activated Berserk. Emile wanted to shoot out a few fireballs and water spheres at the opponent. The water sphere was much faster than the fireballs which made Nestle Milk even more cautious.
Emile ran towards him. He cast Yin-Yang Blast secretly. He pointed his sword towards Nestle Milk.
Even though he finished casting Yin-Yang Blast; he didn't launch the attack.
He did a few physical attacks. He used Magic Infusion V2 since his attack stat was much higher than his magic stat.
He exchanged sword clashes with Nestle Milk. As he was aiming to attack again with his sword he released Yin-Yang Blast. Since they were close together, he couldn't dodge the attack.
-582
This killed him. He didn't have much health from the first fireball. This was complete domination.
His party was having a hard time so Emile went to help.
