"The fight was completely unnecessary! We should have left after seeing the boss. There's a wave tomorrow or did you forget?" My tone signaled how unhappy I was about the situation.

Killing all of the monsters the Wolf called with its howl was an annoyance at best, killing the boss was not.

It used its power expertly and out-leveled the two of us by over 6 levels. The experience it had gained from killing its fellow bosses made it a nightmare to fight.

It was given time to both accumulate power and get used to said power. We were lucky it ended in relatively light injuries. My fortitude staved off most of the damage that landed on me and a full boost from [Avalanche(R)] was hard to get through, even for bosses.

After teaming up on it, the ending was decided. I had better control over the ice than it did which negated most of its arsenal. With magic removed, it relied on its strong body to attack.

A strong body that couldn't stand up to mine. My strength of both arms and body added together was superior to its. A fact that decided the outcome.

Austin and I were both sitting in the aftermath cooling down. Both of us had cuts and scrapes but it wasn't enough for me to use a potion. Austin already had and his wounds closed faster as a result.

While I killed the riff-raff the boss summoned, he took some good licks from the boss. A hole the size of a golf ball was still working its way closed from when the boss skewered him with an icicle.

He hadn't been fast enough to get out of the way in time and it went straight through his gut, piercing both armor and flesh. If this was before he would be dead.

Now, all it needed was a potion and some rest. [Meditation(C)] would have him right as rain in a few hours. His natural vitality would even heal the wound if given enough time.

"Oh come off it. It was fun and we gained a lot. Stop complaining." Austin said while waving his hand dismissively.
