With the group ready they edged their way into the main room. Vance looked at the massive bat and took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.

[Cave Of Wonders Batgoon]

[Level]: 19

[HP]: 40000/40000

[MP]: 600/600

Looking at the ridiculous health and then at the amount of mana, Vance let out a sigh of relief. Anytime dealing with a flying type monster, the lower the mana, the more likely they are a melee type monster. While they could easily fire off spells at the batgoon, it would come at the price of dealing with ranged attacks. Melee attacks were more direct and easier to deal with.

"This time, we will be watching each other's health and calling out healing and people's name. We do not want to waste mana over healing someone. Do not attack until I say so. I need to grab aggro first. Do not be scared by the amount of health it has. It is only a unique elite, it will still take the same damage as the other bats." Vance tried to reassure the girls that they could really do this.

"We are ready." Alice already had her bow ready. Sally held her daggers in her hand, ready to go at any time. Vance nodded and ran in, and shot off a fireball to start. This was to pull the unique batgoon and to gain aggro.

"Screee!" The unique batgoon cried out as the fireball landed on its head. It opened its wings and flapped them a few times before flipping its body around and hovering in the air over Vance. Vance couldn't help but click his tongue at the fact that there was no boss music. As a player, you get epic music when fighting monsters like these that get you even more pumped up, but now he got nothing but the sounds of the unique batgoon's wings as they flapped.

Vance waited for the unique batgoon to dive down at him before finally shouting out: "Minor taunt!"

[Notice: Minor Taunt(LVL 2) →  Minor Taunt(LVL 3)]

Seeing the taunt being upgraded, Vance quickly used the skill again since it had reset on upgrade. A level 3 minor taunt would help him keep aggro much better. It would keep it so the girls would not draw its hatred with their damage. "Start attacking!" Vance finally yelled out after striking the unique batgoon a few times with his sword.

Seconds after his yell, arrows flew over head, shooting the unique batgoon in the face. Vance smiled when he saw this. If you can take a monster's eyes out, it would hinder their ability to attack you. While sometimes this worked and sometimes it didn't, there was no real reason why it would or not work.

In theory, in such a game as Alantina Online, if you stabbed a monster in the eye, it should take away its sight and make it possible to kill the enemy easier, but that was not always the case. Only some monsters this would work on. It was as if they had a third eye and could see everything, even if both eyes were plucked out of their heads. Just more game logic that did not make sense.

Vance was quickly forced into a defensive stance as he allowed the girls to keep attacking. While he was still doing damage, he was also busy trying to keep aggro as much as possible. As long as he could hold it, then they could quickly take this monster down. "Fireball!"

Time was ticking, and Vance was dodging attacks as the claws of the unique batgoon came near him. He noticed that so far, the unique batgoon was not using any spells at all. Just using claw attacks. He hoped it would stay this way so he would not need to worry about other things.

Sadly all expectations were broken when the unique batgoon suddenly let out a loud cry. "CREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!" It flapped its wings and floated up into the air. This cause the aggro that Vance had on the unique batgoon to disappear. "Sally, Alice, stop attacking!"

Alice, who was just about to release her arrow, quickly stopped herself. Sally backed off and returned to Alice's side, waiting for Vance to give out new orders. Vance watched carefully. This was an unknown unique batgoon, so he did not know what special skill it might have. Unique elite monsters sometimes had an extra skill they could use that was different from the normal mob's skills. So in a situation of unknowns, Vance had to be extra careful.

But as he watched the unique batgoon raised its head and opened its mouth, he realized it was going to do a normal sonic wave attack, but this was something one had to back away from, or they would get hit with a large amount of damage. "Quick! Everyone's back!"

Vance backpedaled as he ran backward and hurriedly retreated. The girls also did the same and moved to the wall of the room. Vance cast three earth walls to break up some of the damage that was about to come because, as the main tank, he still had to stay in range to pull aggro when it was such a short ranged taunt. "Watch my health! Take turns healing me!"

"We will!" Alice yelled out in answer as she readied her bow but also watched Vance's health like a hawk. She had no idea what was about to happen, but she did not need to wait long.

*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

An ear piercing sound was heard that rattled the entire room. The earth walls that Vance had put up instantly shattered and disappeared. Vance kept healing himself, along with the girls casting heals on him as well. He watched as his 1410  health dropped like a rock due to the sonic wave attack, dropping it down to almost 600 health before jumping back up from all the healing. It lasted for thirty seconds before finally stopping. "Fireball! Minor Taunt! Attack!" Vance yelled out two spells to grab the unique batgoon's hatred again before yelling to the girls to attack once more.

Ten minutes later, a large batgoon fell to the floor while Vance also slumped down onto his butt. "We did it!"
