Seeing the situation Augustus simply reached his hand out as he knows he has a natural resistance to the flames, and while within a certain distance of his son which he is most definitely in he'll heal even if he takes damage. He sticks his hand into the flaming shield and out the other side only getting minor first degree burns knowing that his natural resistances are protecting him from the amount of damage he should be taking. He then immediately cast Psionic Flamethrower. As he activates the spell he draws the blue flames from the sword aura being projected by his son right now, and forms them into a blue flame turret of fire that engulfs the entire area and out into the open space.
As the enemies fall back and most of those in the area of the flame are completely burned down to the bone; the group charges forward. Using the momentum that they've given themselves Michael leads the charge since he was the one in the front. He starts cleaving through all the enemies in front of him with reckless abandon. As he clears the area for them to keep rushing out Augustus takes his sword and starts slicing through dozens of enemies that's stood in front of him.
Ysasilma and Penelope stay back and fire off range spells to strike it any enemies trying to attack from the backline before they can be a problem. Having some innate synergy between them all makes it easy for them to handle the situation in front of them. Since the enemies are still not that strong, it doesn't take them much longer than the original fight to finish off those that are in front of them.
As Penelope kills the last enemy with a Holy Ray, they get another pop up screen say that they earned 8,700 XP and 8,700 gold for clearing the room. Seeing the situation was over the group stopped once more to breathe. They were doing well but this was the first time any of them were putting these new skills to use in a real life or death situation.
Despite how easy it was to kill the enemy they still had the numbers and coordination skills. The group having a good idea of each other's capabilities are slowly falling into a rhythm of knowing what each other can do and how to work with that.
As they rest, Augustus sees his armor is good but not that great. It's definitely making it so he doesn't take any damage from any of the attacks that have came close to hurting him thus far, but it is already showing signs of wear and tear. He makes a mental note to try and get better armor later and focus on clearing the dungeon for now. Before he can get the others to ready up for their next push into the dungeon, he looks back to see that they are already standing and ready to go.
With a smile on his face seeing their determination to finish the dungeon; they press forward. Upon following this path forward, it leads to a large door which they only need to take one look at to assume is the boss room. Given its size and design it definitely looks like the door leads into something important and is most likely for a boss of some kind.
With they thought that this is the boss room in mind everyone steels themself for what might be a very tough fight. Augustus takes the lead, opening the door to the room. At first all they see is a dark chamber which slowly becomes lit as torches at night with blue fire lighting up the room. Once the room is lit they notice that hovering almost 20ft off the ground inside of a massive sphere of water is a humanoid crab creature with a Sea Bobbos face that seems to be growing out of its chest and back. Staring at it for long enough they see that it is called, Handagorr, the Bobbos Twisted Knight. It was a level 5 creature and it was clearly the boss.
After a couple seconds it seems to wake within the sphere of water, and then as it out stretches its hand. The sphere of water starts to separate and take new shape in the form of a large greatsword. The moment that it lands on the ground, it points its weapon at the group.
Seeing that the boss is preparing to start combat with them, they take up a fighting stance as well. Augustus and Michael lock eyes for a moment and nod. The father and son both together activate Lion's Heart and Lion's Crown.
As they power up, Ysasilma slightly adjust her stance for the Wicked Water Style. While changing stance she begins channeling the power within her specific orc bloodline. Soon samurai armor made of ice and wings made of water manifest on her body.
Penelope not really having a cool power up decides to start chanting an incantation for a magical prayer to give herself and her allies protection. As she sends a prayer to the Goddess who made her people she knows deep down that her prayer is heard. Feeling her body become a little bit more sturdy and strong she knows that they have the protection of her Goddess.
At that moment they all started charging at the boss and in return the boss started charging at them. The moment that the great sword the boss monster held in his hand collided with Augustus' sword, a bright flash of light illuminated the entire arena.
