"How many died!?" Ryu asked. As he raised his head, His armor was able to hold up even though he took a direct hit from the damn chicken dragon.

"All the low levels, some healers and a few DPS, so around seventy." Chi was the first to respond. Once she hit the ground, she opened her raid menu to see all the names going red. "Out of the seventy, ten healers died."

"Prioritize resurrecting the healers. Then the tanks. After that, DPS. I will try to keep it busy!" Ryu wanted to cry. He had hoped this would be a smooth run, but he never thought it was a chicken dragon! He was feeling very depressed right now. He knew it was no fun dying. Luckily Priest got a resurrection spell, or they would be really screwed! "Ranged attackers keep attacking while I keep its attention."

"CAAAAAAWWWW!!!!" The oversized chicken seemed to be angered even more than before, seeing that Ryu was still alive. He immediately pecked at him, but its eyesight was no longer as good now that he had only one eye. Its attacks became less accurate, allowing Ryu more breathing room as he defended and tried to counter.

As soon as all the healers were back up, the rest of the guild members quickly followed. Once they regained some mana, they were back and ready for action. By this time, Ryu had already left a few deep cuts in the oversized chicken, so he was not afraid of losing aggro any time soon. Besides the aoe wind blade, which was easily dodgeable, and the raid wipe skill that it seemed to not be able to cast frequently, the oversized chicken only used claw, stomp, and beak attacks on Ryu.

The healers had an easy time with Ryu tanking since his defense was in the thousands. So no matter how many times he got hit, the damage was negligible. After almost a half hour of damaging the oversized chicken, it finally showed signs of changing its attack pattern again. It jumped in the air and began flapping its wings, causing gusts of wind to slam into the members of Serenity. "Darling~ We need to move back, or else we will end up like before."

"Alright, Do as Margie says! Move back!" Ryu shouted. On his command, all the tanks and melee DPS quickly retreated, all except Ryu, who the oversized chicken had pegged as its only target. It seemed it would rather die trying to kill Ryu than stay alive.

Margie's assumption was right on as another wave of flames came from the sky, scorching the land underneath. This time Ryu tanked it head on. He did not know what would happen if he moved, whether the flames would follow him and end up causing his guild members to get caught up in it or not. "Meow!" Nergal, who had been sleeping this entire time, seemed to have gotten angry because it waved its little paw and slashed out at the fire raining down on him, creating a whole the size of Ryu as four claw blades of wind sliced through the flames, slamming into the oversized chicken in the air.

"CAAAAWWWW!!!" The oversized chicken seemed to be confused as it looked down at the small cat it had not noticed until now.

"Meow!" Nergal cried out in anger and pointed its little paw at one of its tails. "Meow! Meow!"

"CAAAWW!! CAAW!!!" Ryu was starting to get confused. It seemed his cat was having a conversation with the oversized chicken. No, in fact, Nergal was actually scolding the oversized chicken for burning his tail.

"Meow! Hiss!" Nergal suddenly stood up, its hair sticking up on its back. It stared at the oversized chicken with cold feline eyes.

"Caw.." The oversized chicken suddenly floated down to the ground, and with a snort, it charged at Ryu. Nergal, on the other hand, turned in circles before finding a comfortable spot on Ryu's head, falling back asleep as if nothing had happened.

Ryu was still trying to figure out what the hell just happened, but from what he could tell, the damn oversized chicken stopped its raid wipe skill because Nergal threatened it! Ryu knew this was their chance! "Everyone, attack! Send everything you have at it!"

Once again, the oversized chicken was being bombarded with spells and attacks of all kinds. The oversized chicken let out a cry of pain as it lost its other eye when Ryu found an opening to counter. With both eyes out of commission, the oversized chicken could only stomp around and peck at anything it sensed near it. But as time passed, it really began to slow down. All of its movements became sluggish, and its body began being dyed red.

"It's almost dead! Keep at it just a little longer!" Ryu yelled out. He was right, after another ten minutes of attacking with everything they had. The oversized chicken finally fell down, smashing into the ground turning into thousand balls of blue lights that floated up into the air.

[World Announcement! The guild Serenity has gotten the first kill on the world boss Sky King Fermoth. Respawn for World boss is 30 days...]

There was no special reward for killing it, but it did give a world message upon its death. As they got the first kill on the oversized chicken, it allowed them to get more prestige within the world of Soul Fusion Online. "How was it? How many deaths in the end?" Ryu asked as he sat on the ground to rest.

"I count twenty in total. We are resurrecting them now." GreenHat answered.

"Alright then, FingerSandwhich, you dish out loot." Ryu did not care what the loot was. He was just glad things ended smoothly.

"Umm, Ryu, come look at this!" FingerSandwhich had a strange look on his face as he called for Ryu.

Ryu sighed and walked over to see a large egg sitting in the middle of a pile of loot. "This is…."

[Egg...]

"Err… that's it!? It's just an Egg, nothing else!?" Ryu was confused as to why such a description for an item was allowed! It was like analyzing a rock and having the display only say rock!

"What should we do?" FingerSandwhich was unsure of what this egg could be used for.

"Give it to GreenHat to raise. If it doesn't hatch in a year, force him to eat it all in one sitting." Ryu said before waving his hand and went to walk away but paused when an item caught his eye. "This is…. A sword technique!?"
