Reincarnated With A Summoning System-Chapter 57 - 57
"Vala, split up, one of you to each side ramp. Take 2 Trolls each and split the Nymphs. Treants, hold the entry ramp with Dimnys, 2 Trolls and the Wasps will hold the boss while everyone else clears the side ramps one at a time." Cain calls out as everything attacks at once.
Most of the Spear Throwers made it off the ledges and into the room, but they were corralled before they could spread out. Vala's area attacks are doing well, the Leech effect giving a decent break to Misha, who is forced to heal all three fights at once.
The boss is called the Naga Blade Master. He's fast, and if the Trolls weren't so durable they'd all be in big trouble. But as it is, Misha's healing is keeping up. Cain is loading it up with poison every few seconds, slowly draining it, while the others have all picked one group of Spearmen to kill first. The area effects have the entire group very low, which will be a big relief.
This pull is a bit of a disaster, but it seems they'll survive. Then he sees the boss throw a huge knife at the Treants. No, not the trees, but the Dwarf hidden in them. The attack takes a heavy chunk of a Treants health, but it successfully intercepts and keeps Dimnys safe at the last second. That was too close for comfort.
The first side of the smaller Naga are dead, and the constructs attacking them switch to the boss, keeping it much busier and spreading its attacks between more targets. This gives Misha a moment to breathe and take in the fight.
Those sneaky thrown knives do way too much damage, but there doesn't seem to be a way to stop them.
The next one is blocked by Vala, who got the mental heads up at the last second from her clone.
Now they're making good headway through the second group, and the Boss health bar is turning yellow, indicating it's getting near half health. Misha is getting low on mana, definitely below a third, when the second pack is cleared up. The Vala twins store their shields, switching to two handed swords for increased damage, and the resultant increased party healing, which seems to be enough to let Misha recover.
With just the boss doing damage now, Cain can Summon back damaged constructs without leaving areas exposed, and much less healing is needed to begin with, so Misha is slowly regaining mana as the boss drops toward one third health.
At one quarter the boss switched weapons on them, Matching the Vala twins and their two handed style. It's taking much more damage now, but it's chopping through Trolls every five seconds or so. That's slow enough for Cain. He can bring them all back every 25 or 30 seconds without any issues.

"Looks like there was side passage we were meant to take." Char says, pointing at a tunnel that opens onto the cliffs.
"We made good time though." Mythryll laughs. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺
"We will pick up all the crafting materials on the way out, just grab what's safe." Cain tells Dimnys, who is hungrily eyeing some ore on the ground.
It's like a kid in a candy store, watching her dart from location to location with her worn pickaxe, pulling up ores. But as always, they're still on the clock, so a few minutes rest and they're off again.
They only make it as far as the edge of the platform the boss was on before a horn sounds and a female voice echos through the whole shore front and canyon area.
"Kill Them All."
The exits are blocked off by water walls and Naga start coming through a group at a time. Every twenty or thirty seconds, another pack arrives. Sometimes doubling up, some easy ones giving them a quick breather. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖
After fifteen minutes or so, nothing arrives for twice as long as usual and the voice returns.
"Fine I'll do it myself."
A watery portal opens and a Huge Naga in a green toga steps through. The identification label says this is The Naga Queen.
She attacks as soon as she arrives, casting water blades into the Dark Nymphs causing mass casualties. The Trolls charge, interrupting her next cast and the battle is in full swing.
The Queen summons a set of portals and uses them to move around the room, appearing at random, casting more water blades on the nearest targets. The only solution they find is to leave Trolls all over the room. It hurts their damage rate, but it lets the Trolls take most of the water blades and pick up the Queen as soon as she appears.
"Half health. How's everyone holding up?" Cain calls out.
"Not dead yet." Char calls back and Misha laughs.
They're mentally and physically exhausted from chasing the boss around the oversized plateau room by the time it dies.

Multiple item drop messages spam everyone's screen, blinding them. Now they know how Dimnys feels. Dimnys simply sits down to deal with the incoming messages, already used to the dizziness of contestant message spam.
"Sweet, I got Level 60 and 61 there." Char calls out bringing a round of celebratory hugs.
Cain checks his status screen:
[Name] Cain
[Level] 59
[Class] Puppet Master
[Race] Human
[Stats] +25
[STR] 100
[DEX] 45
[CON] 100
[INT] 50
[HP] 800
[MP] 250
So close to getting Level 60 and his next summoning spell, Cain is eager to go to another dungeon tomorrow, just one last push and he can see how the Summon Companion spell for his class compares to the Ancient quality Lesser Demonic Companion version.
Coming out takes longer than the raid, 4 hours are spent gathering crafting materials from the now deserted zone.. Nobody wants to waste the opportunity, as the Raid Dungeon material drops are much better than Dimnys had heard the dungeon materials were.
