The entire battle lasted for 30 minutes.
As the fight dragged on, the entire raid grew increasingly alarmed.
Chu Tian was also struggling.
The "Increased Damage Taken" buff on him had stacked to sixty layers.
Each layer of this buff increased damage taken by 10%.
Sixty layers meant a 600% increase.
Chu Tian's health was now dropping between 18,000 and 22,000 with each attack.
The two healers had less than one-sixth of their mana remaining.
Fortunately, Chu Tian had over 300,000 health.
Otherwise, the combined damage from the two bosses would have exceeded 40,000 per attack.
If Zhao Lei had been tanking, he would have been killed with a single blow.
The two healers were also quite capable.
Even under such immense pressure, they were barely managing to keep Chu Tian alive.
However, as time went on, their healing output would likely become insufficient.
Even with mana regeneration, they wouldn't be able to keep up.
At this point, the two bosses had only 12% of their health remaining.
Everyone had just used their burst skills.
This remaining 12% health would likely have to be chipped away slowly.
Chu Tian, however, was already feeling the immense pressure.
If this continued, he would likely fall within another two minutes.
And to deplete this remaining health, they would need at least three more "name-call" buffs and venue changes.
Everyone present grew more alarmed with each passing moment.
Even Chu Tian had miscalculated.
He had initially thought that with this team, a normal run would take at most ten rounds to defeat the boss.
This was, of course, assuming no wipes due to unforeseen circumstances.
However.
He believed that a straightforward fight would only take seven or eight rounds.
Including himself.
Despite being in bear form.
His damage output was comparable to that of a DPS. Da Feng Novel Network.
In a raid of forty people, his damage ranking was surprisingly seventh.
The DPS players below him were all blushing with shame.
They were all gritting their teeth and pouring everything they had into their attacks.
Just as Chu Tian was at a loss for what to do, a system prompt appeared, causing his frown to ease.
Opening his inventory, he found that "Moon God's Wrath," which had been unusable before, could now be equipped.
"How long until your burst skills are back off cooldown?" Chu Tian asked.
"Our regular skills will be ready in 40 seconds, and our major burst skills in two and a half minutes!"
"I don't have any regular skills left, just used them. My major burst is also about two minutes away!"
"Same here..."
"Me too..."
The raid members responded one by one.
"Alright... We need to defeat it within 10 minutes. If we can't, we'll have to retreat. This dungeon is beyond us right now; the level suppression is too severe, and our damage output is too low!"
Chu Tian pondered for a moment. He had indeed miscalculated earlier.
He had thought that these players' equipment would be much better than those at level 130-140 in the later stages.
But he had forgotten about the concept of level suppression.
Due to level suppression, many melee attacks were missing.
And for magic users, spells were also subject to resistance due to the level difference.
This situation resulted in a significant loss of DPS output.
When Chu Tian spoke, everyone else's expressions turned grim.
While the situation was as he described, no one wanted to give up just like that.
They had been trying to clear this boss for over a week.
At least clearing it once would allow them to see what lay beyond.
Even if they couldn't defeat the subsequent bosses, a glimpse would broaden their horizons.
If they gave up now, their efforts of over a week would be in vain.
"Why is everyone so quiet? Don't be discouraged, we can still beat this boss!"
Chu Tian saw that his words had dampened everyone's morale.
He smiled slightly and continued speaking.
"Boss, please don't joke around."
"How about we retreat now? Sacrifice a few people to hold the boss, and the rest can withdraw. That way, we can minimize our losses!"
"I think that's a good idea. Within 10 minutes... I doubt we can..."
Everyone thought Chu Tian was just trying to comfort them with his last statement.
However, before they could finish speaking.
Chu Tian let out a furious roar.
"Forbidden Spell... Rage Roar!"
*Boom...*
Chu Tian's enormous bear body.
At this moment, it visibly swelled by another size.
The fur on his body instantly turned blood-red.
A yellow halo spread out from beneath his feet.
In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire arena, seeming to extend beyond sight.
This skill was the Forbidden Spell for his bear form, inherited from Moon God's Wrath.
Upon equipping it, his bear form gained the skill "Forbidden Spell: Rage Roar." This skill enhances all allied players within a 2480-meter radius, increasing their attack, defense, health, and healing effects by 300% for 10 minutes. Its cooldown is 30 days, and using it also triggers a cooldown for any other Forbidden Spells on the weapon.
The raid members were in a state of low morale.
Although they were still attacking, many players' attack frequency and combos had begun to falter.
However, with the activation of "Forbidden Spell: Rage Roar."
A radiant glow, similar to Chu Tian's fur, enveloped everyone.
"What is this..."
"What do you mean, 'what is this'? Attack it... Healers, conserve your mana!"
With the activation of his skill, everyone was momentarily stunned, their attacks faltering.
Some were about to speak.
Chu Tian immediately shouted.
At that instant, everyone snapped back to reality, their eyes filled with excitement.
Their attack speed increased.
At this moment, some players' regular burst skills were also back off cooldown.
They activated them one after another, unleashing a barrage of attacks.
Everyone's attack power had increased by 300%.
The boss's health began to deplete at an accelerated rate.
Similarly, the healers received a 300% healing boost.
Chu Tian, in particular, gained a 300% defense bonus.
Previously, his damage taken had been between 18,000 and 22,000.
This was due to the stacked "Increased Damage Taken" debuff.
After using this skill, his damage taken instantly dropped to between 6,000 and 8,000 per hit.
The healing pressure drastically reduced.
Combined with the increased healing, they were once again able to revert to a single healer managing the situation.
The Priest stopped attacking for the moment, waiting for their mana to regenerate.
Priests were a high-spirit profession.
They had the fastest mana regeneration speed in combat.
If given a few minutes without healing, they might even fall into a state of slow mana regeneration.
Druids had slightly lower spirit, but their healing skills consumed very little mana.
Furthermore, many of the Holy Druid's healing skills were HoTs (Heal over Time).
These healed in stages over time.
After applying a set, they only needed to reapply it before the cooldown expired.
Therefore, they were more mana-efficient when healing compared to other professions.
"Everyone with a finisher, don't hold back, use it as soon as it's off cooldown! Warriors... it's up to you whether we can end this fight early!"
Seeing the hope for victory, the raid members became energized.
Zhao Lei swung his iron staff, shouting.
"I've been using finisher, but it's all misses!"
"Keep using finisher even if it misses! If even one hit lands, he's down."
"Are you sure about that? That would be a huge loss of output!"
"Don't worry about that! Finisher!"
Zhao Lei nagged and urged them on.
"Finisher your grandpa... Just attack normally, don't listen to this idiot!"
Just as Zhao Lei was getting excited.
Chu Tian spoke, retorting him once again.
