Chapter 59: Raiding an E+ Rank Dungeon Part 6

It isn't just bad.

It is seriously bad!

"I suggest that we start evacuating all the Porters outside the dungeon right now before something bad happens," Kayn expressed his thoughts after realizing the direness of their current situation.

"Okay!" Victor agreed with Kayn. The Ice Dread Queen could create an army of Undead, and that army will no doubt attack the Porters once they see them. The majority of the Porters are merely Superhumans, so it would be truly dangerous for them to come face to face against an Undead. Not to mention, an Undead with an elemental attribute.

Since Victor needed Kayn here because of his genius ideas and to assist him, he decided to look for someone else to inform the Porters.

Coincidentally, the man he ordered to bring Kayn and the Porters inside the dungeon a while ago had just arrived. So, without any hesitation, "You, go and inform the Porters to retreat outside the dungeon!"

"Eyhhh!" Helpless, the man could only choose to comply and started walking back to the way he came from. He felt that he was wronged. But before he could finally leave, he saw over the distance a giant figure approaching them. In an instant, his mood turned from sour to appreciative.

"It's coming," Echo notifies everyone.

"Alice," Victor turned to look at Alice, "As much as possible, try your best to keep Kayn safe, and please make sure that he won't die from the cold, will you?"

"Understood, Captain!" Alice saluted.

After saying that, Victor started allocating orders to everyone and preparing them for the incoming Ice Dread Queen.

Meanwhile, Kayn grabbed a chair by the side and sat on it to watch the show. "Too bad I don't have any popcorn with me right now,"

Seeing Kayn's action, Alice can't help asking, "Does this situation not scare you even a bit?"

"I am actually scared," He's telling the truth. "But is there anything I can do against that Ice Dread Queen?"

"Well…" Alice was instantly rendered speechless.

"And besides, I also can't run away, because Victor ordered me to stay here," He heaved a heavy sigh.

"So, you're telling me it's our fault that you can't act scared?"

"Of course not! I am simply telling you why I decided to just sit down and watch. And to answer your question. This face you are seeing right now is me feeling scared," Kayn returned his attention to his front.

"You're crazy!" Alice finally arrived at the conclusion that Kayn is someone who is out of his mind. If it was anyone else in his situation right now, they would have insisted on leaving this place already. Heck, they might even run away the moment Victor turns his head around. But on the other hand, she also understood that Kayn is planning something else for himself. She doesn't know whether it's good or not for the Black Panda team, but since she's staying by his side along with Diana, she'd definitely be able to stop him if it would endanger the team.

"Alice, don't forget that you still have to fight against the boss while protecting Kayn," Diana reminded Alice.

"I know,"

"Don't worry, I'll be right here to assist you," Diana rest assured Alice. The latter is the main Mage of the Black Panda team, so her responsibility is very heavy. Now that guaranteeing Kayn's safety is added on top of that, she'd no doubt find herself in a difficult situation later on. She's here to make sure to lighten her burden even for just a bit.

"I needed to hear that," Alice smiled.

"Wake up people, here it comes!" Victor exclaimed loudly.

Booooom!

In the next second, a loud explosion blasted through the barrier that Alice and the other Mages had set up.

The cloud of snow started settling down and soon revealed the face of the Ice Dread Queen.

It was a woman's face that greeted everyone. A beautiful one on top of that. She has white-colored hair, red as a rose lip, eyes that are as black as a raven, and unique pale skin that only the Undead race inherits as it is what marks them as dead. Her height though wasn't something that is commonly seen in a woman, as she is more or less seven feet tall. Nevertheless, it fit her.

If only the Ice Dread Queen wasn't the boss of this dungeon and is here to kill everyone that is not part of her race right now, then the majority of the men here present would have long fallen heels over head on her.

Fortunately, the men of the Black Panda team weren't idiots and lunatics to do something as foolish as that in their situation.

Contrary, upon seeing the Ice Dread Queen, they immediately pointed their weapons toward her and waited patiently for Victor's order to fight.

Deep inside, they were feeling all sorts of emotions due to sensing the heavy dread and deep horror the Ice Dread Queen is releasing from her body. The freezing feeling that she brought along with her is also attributed further to what they are feeling.

On the other hand, the Ice Dread Queen also momentarily came to a stop, evidently to observe everyone in front of her and understand whether they are considered a threat to her or not.

While that was happening, Alice quickly conjured a barrier around Kayn to help keep him warm.

"Thank you," Kayn appreciated the instantaneous assistance of Alice.

"Just make sure to keep yourself away from trouble," Alice urges Kayn. Now that she sees the boss up close, she isn't feeling confident anymore that they can win against her.

"I'll be stupid to do that," The Ice Dread Queen could basically squash him if she wanted to. He won't even dare to get close to her. So, causing trouble is completely out of the question.

"Everyone, charge!" Victor leads the charge along with Alex by his side. The latter is the tank of the Black Panda team, with him being the secondary tank. So, it is their job to initiate the fight against the boss.

Despite feeling unconfident, Alex, being the main tank of the Black Panda team, overtook Victor. He waved his hand, quickly taking out a huge shield and a giant hammer from his Storage Ring. These two items are his weapons.

On the other hand, Victor took out a giant axe and a huge shield that is just like Alex's.

In the next second, the duo finally arrived in front of the Ice Dread Queen. Without waiting for her to react, Alex smashed her face with his hammer. Following that, Victor chopped at the other side with his axe.

Victor and Alex's action marked the beginning of the boss raid.

The melee combatants quickly positioned themselves to land a hit to the Ice Dread Queen. Alternatively, the Mages started casting all sorts of Magic spells that counters the ice element. For instance, fire element and earth element. Unfortunately, other than Alice, no one else could cast a lightning element Magic spell.

With everyone in their position, the fight issued.

Countless magic spells started flying into the air and landing on the body of the Ice Dread Queen.

Swords clashes with her thick skin, leaving cuts and marks on her body.

Being the receiving end of all of the attack, the Ice Dread Queen screamed loudly in pain. Subsequently, multiple voices could be heard behind her.

"Her army is coming," Echo warned. He already saw the Ice Dread Queen's army when he was scouting for her location. There weren't that many, but it's still not something to underestimate about.

"Split into two equal groups and follow after Alex," Victor immediately ordered after hearing Echo.

Splitting into two groups while in the midst of a fight isn't something that the Black Panda team is new about. They have basically been doing this in all the previous boss fights they've experienced in the past.

The reason why they split into two groups is so that they can deal with the soldiers of the boss.

It's already a common situation where a boss would have a considerable number of soldiers rallying to her. As a matter of fact, sometimes the boss is not the problem in a boss raid but their troops instead as there are just far too many of them to deal with.

And because of that, the Black Panda team has already trained and prepared its members to deal with this kind of situation.

"On me!" Alex already knew what to do as he had a talk with Victor and Echo when they were planning on how to lure the boss here a while ago. "There are five liches and nearly a hundred Undead Swordsman in their army. I'll gather the liches together and the Mages will assist me to fight them while the rest of you will deal with the Undead Swordsmen,"

"Copy!" The second group nodded in understanding.

In great unison, half of the Black Panda team left the fight against the Ice Dread Queen to face her army of Undeads.

Since Alex is no longer here, it is now solely Victor's responsibility to tank the Ice Dread Queen. That's not a problem, as he could deal with her alone, at least as far as he was able to observe.

"What a perfectly executed and coordinated move," Kayn can't help complimenting the Black Panda team.

"That's a given since we have already done this multiple times," Diana smiled proudly.

"No wonder," Kayn understood. Although he isn't new to the strategy that the Black Panda has pulled, it's rare to see it being executed in such a manner. In most cases, there would still be some confusion. Even in his guild before that still happened. But in the Black Panda team's case, it is as if everyone already knew long before that they are part of the first team and second team.

Nevertheless, it still doesn't guarantee their chances of defeating the boss yet. Not to mention, there's no certainty whether their plan is going to work against the Ice Dread Queen or not.

Hopefully, it would…
