One after another, glowing runes appeared around him.
A Fire Totem.
A Wind Totem.
An Earth Shield Totem.
An Ice Spear Totem.
He didn’t activate them yet.
Instead, he kept them floating nearby, ready to use at any moment.
The underground lake suddenly became silent.
Not even the sound of dripping water could be heard anymore.
A few seconds later...
The black water began to ripple.
Large waves spread across the lake.
Then the entire surface exploded.
A gigantic creature burst out of the water.
Its body was over twenty meters long.
Dark blue scales covered its entire body.
A pair of enormous wings spread wide, sending powerful gusts throughout the cave.
Its crimson eyes immediately locked onto Ryan.
The creature let out a deafening roar that echoed through the entire dungeon.
Black Water Wyvern
Level: 80
Rank: Boss
The Black Water Wyvern let out another deafening roar that echoed throughout the Blackwater Cave Dungeon.
The sound traveled through countless tunnels.
Many Awakened nearby immediately turned toward the direction of the roar.
"Someone is challenging the boss!"
"Let’s go take a look!"
Curious adventurers rushed toward the boss chamber from every direction.
Within a few minutes, dozens of Awakened had arrived.
Not wanting to interfere with the fight, they climbed onto nearby rock pillars and crystal formations, watching the battle from a safe distance.
One of them suddenly rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Wait... am I seeing things?"
"Is that a bear with antlers, a green-furred wolf, a giant black serpent, an Orc Shaman... and a human wearing an Orc Shaman Set fighting the boss?"
The others stared at the battlefield.
A few seconds later, they all nodded.
"No, we’re seeing the same thing."
"That guy summoned all of them."
"And judging by the number of totems floating around him, he’s probably a high-rank Shaman."
"At the very least, he should have an A-Rank Shaman Class."
"I’ve never seen someone summon this many spirits before."
Another Awakened nodded enviously.
"Neither have I."
"His summons alone are enough to form a small party."
"He must be some famous genius."
No one recognized Ryan because he was wearing the Orc Shaman Set, which completely changed his appearance and hid his identity.
Several people quickly activated their drone cameras.
Others began recording with their communication devices.
"A solo boss raid."
"This is definitely worth recording."
"If he wins, this video is going to spread everywhere."
The surrounding Awakened remained where they were, silently watching the battle while making sure not to interfere with the boss fight.
While back at Ryan side.
The wyvern beat its wings once and landed on a giant rock in the middle of the lake.
Dark poisonous water dripped from its claws as it stared at Ryan and his summons.
Ryan took a deep breath.
"This will be my hardest fight so far."
He raised the Orc Shaman Staff.
"Attack."
The Spirit Wolf disappeared in a burst of wind.
The Spirit Serpent silently circled around the lake.
Blizzy released a powerful roar as freezing mist spread across the battlefield.
At the same time, the Orc Shaman Chief began chanting, while Ryan activated the first of his prepared totems.
He did not attack immediately.
Instead, he created several Ritual of Purification Totems and scattered them around the battlefield.
The temporary totems landed one after another.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Each one embedded itself into the rocky ground.
Ryan then created several elemental attack totems and positioned them around the cave.
They remained inactive, waiting for his command.
Only after everything was prepared did Ryan activate the purification totems.
Whoooosh!
Columns of white light rose into the air.
The surrounding atmosphere immediately became much cleaner as waves of holy energy spread across the battlefield.
The black poisonous mist lingering above the underground lake rapidly dispersed.
Ryan knew the Black Water Wyvern’s greatest weapon wasn’t its claws or fangs.
It was its poisonous breath.
By preparing the battlefield in advance, he had greatly reduced the advantage the boss normally possessed.
Next, Ryan raised his staff.
"Ritual of Blessings."
A large green magic circle expanded beneath everyone.
A large green magic circle expanded beneath everyone.
The Spirit Wolf.
The Spirit Serpent.
Blizzy.
The Orc Shaman Chief.
Even Ryan himself.
Warm green light surrounded all of them.
Their strength, agility, and mana recovery increased.
Satisfied, Ryan quickly created several more Ritual of Purification Totems and placed them around the battlefield once again, he have already texted his temporary items can remain for one minute if he doesn’t use them instantly.
If the wyvern released another poisonous cloud later during the battle, he could activate them immediately.
Ryan was able do this freely as his spirits were already attacking the boss from all directions while covering for each other.
Among them the Wolf spirit was the most active due to its very high ability being a wind spirit.
Wind exploded beneath its paws.
Its body disappeared before reappearing beside the wyvern.
Slash!
Its claws struck the wyvern’s neck.
Clang!
The attack produced sparks.
The scales were simply too tough.
The Black Water Wyvern roared in anger.
ROOOAAARRR!!
It swung one massive claw.
BOOM!
The ground shattered.
The Spirit Wolf barely escaped by turning into a gust of wind.
At the same moment, the Spirit Serpent attacked.
It silently wrapped around the wyvern’s hind leg before sinking its fangs deep into the scales.
Crunch!
Dark venom entered the wound.
The wyvern immediately shook its leg violently.
BAANG!
The serpent was thrown dozens of meters away before crashing into a stone pillar.
However, it quickly slithered back into the shadows as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, Blizzy took advantage of the opening.
The young Ice Spirit gathered a huge amount of ice mana between its crystal antlers.
Cold air rapidly spread across the battlefield.
"ROAR!!!!!!!"
A wave of freezing energy burst outward.
The underground lake instantly froze over.
Layers of ice climbed up the wyvern’s legs.
Its movements slowed.
Ryan’s eyes lit up.
"Now!"
The Orc Shaman Chief immediately responded.
It raised its staff.
