Chapter 80: CHAPTER 80 – Another Mid-Boss.
By now every single raider in the group knew that Alex had some kind of sensory ability that let him sense the surroundings, and all of them listened to him if he told them to do something.
In this single raid, Alex was gaining the trust of the people from Crimson Lotus at a very high speed because of this, his aura and leadership qualities were just cream on top.
Suddenly Alex stopped, and so did everyone.
"We have a big one coming our way, guys," Alex spoke as he turned to a particular direction on his right.
Everyone else did the same, though they were not relaxed like Alex, instead, they were batter-ready.
After a while, they could feel some vibrations on the ground, and the vibration was getting stronger until finally….
"RRAAAAAWWWWWWRRRRRRR"
They finally saw the source of the roar and some raiders gasped as the beast in front of them looked really intimidating.
It was a large dinosaur with a dark brown spiky scale covering all of its body. It was 7.5 meters in height and close to 11 meters in length, it had scars all over its body while its muscles contracted and relaxed from time to time.
It wasn\'t much different from a T-rex, it was just larger than a T-rex while its jaw was less wide compared to a T-rex\'s. It was a giganotosaurus, a carnivore beast that was larger and faster than a T-rex.
It had many advantages, but that didn\'t mean it would win against a T-rex. T-rex is called the apex predator not without a reason.
But still, if you are underestimating a giganotosaurus just because it would lose to a T-rex and a T-rex was just defeated by Ann then you are in for a surprise.
Ann was a special case and she had grown much stronger after the training with Alex, so even if it seemed that T-rex was not as big as it was defeated by Ann alone, it actually was.
The Giganotosaurus that was standing right in front of the group of raiders, staring down at them with hunger in its eyes was something that could wipe the floor of the whole party if they made any mistake during their fight.
"What are you guys waiting for?!?!" Alice shouted and as if taking the cue, the giganotosaurus roared again.
"RRAAAWWWRRR"
It bent forward and swiftly moved towards a raider with its jaw open, ready to eat the raider in a single bite, but before it could do that....
"HAAAAA" *Baam*
It was punched real hard on the left side of its face by Frank and that punch sent the beast staggering backwards for some steps.
It then shook its head as if trying to gain focus, after all, the punch from Frank was enough to send the beast into stunned confusion.
"Maggie, now!" Alice commanded and Maggie who already had a mana-charged arrow knocked on her bow nodded her head.
*Swish**Scartch*
The arrow was aimed at the eye of the beast but at the last moment, the beast somehow moved a little, gaining just a scratch from the attack.
The beast didn\'t stay confused for long, and then...
"Puny humans, don\'t underestimate me..." A deep voice was heard from the giganotosaurus\'s throat as it looked towards the raiders running towards him with all kinds of weapons.
The voice shocked the raiders as they knew what it meant; it meant that the beast in front of them was a mid-boss.
But it didn\'t end there as the next second they saw the giganotosaurus\'s body shrinking.
The 7.5-meter high and 11-meter-long beast shrunk till it became a 3-meter high and 6-meter-long mini version of itself.
But before anyone could even comprehend the situation, the beast moved, and it was so fast that it looked like the beast vanished.
Some raiders were still processing the fact that the monster in front of them was a mid-boss while some were shocked by its ability.
But one thing was common, none of them were focused on the fight for some seconds and those seconds were enough for the giganotosaurus to do what it wanted.
The giganotosaurus zoomed towards Frank, and it had its jaws open ready to cut Frank into pieces with its razor-sharp teeth.
Frank was not someone who was known for his speed so it was hard for him to follow the giganotosaurus\'s movement, but he could still judge where the attack was going to land.
Frank covered his torso with all of the scales he could bring out and by the time the giganotosaurus\'s jaw had reached there, Franks\'s torso was covered in a large amount of shining red scales.
The giganotosaurus, however, didn\'t stop as it bite Frank and it didn\'t even take a second before….
"ARRGGGHHH"
Frank screamed as he could feel some teeth of the beast penetrating his defenses, making their way into his body.
With nothing else left to do, Frank started punching the beast, but the beast didn\'t let go as it bore the impact of Frank\'s punches.
The giganotosaurus knew that it was winning, and it knew that in some seconds it would have one less enemy to fight.
It knew that Frank was strong, and Frank\'s attack could do it some serious harm, so it decided to take Frank out first.
But then the giganotosaurus narrowed its slit-like eyes, loosened its jaw, and moved away with a huff.
*Swish*
An arrow whistled through the air without hitting its target as the target had moved away, but the arrow did what it wanted to.
Frank fell on his knees holding his stomach which was bleeding really bad.
There were two gaping holes on his stomach that had a width of 5-6 centimeters while there were also some small scratches and cuts around his torso.
The arrow was shot by Maggie as Frank\'s scream woke them up from their thoughts although it was just for a second.
Everyone then looked towards the beast as it was standing away from the group looking at them, then it noticed Alice and Alex who was standing away from the battle, but it just scoffed and focused back on the raiders in front of it.
(Ann was using her ability and sneaking around, ready to make a move if needed and that\'s why she was not seen with Alice and Alex.)
It didn\'t want to fight against cowards as he knew that they would not fight, not giving it the thrill of fighting, and from the way Alice and Ann were standing away from the battle, the beast thought that they were cowards.
The beast then turned towards Frank, and it saw that Frank was getting healed by Nick.
"Grrr….."
It growled in frustration as it saw the chance to take down one strong enemy vanishing.
The giganotosaurus then turned towards Maggie, who was standing alone.
"You, die."
It didn\'t just say that as it was right in front of Maggie, but then the beast felt some danger and it jumped back.
A spear landed right where the beast was a second ago, but before the beast could react another attack was on its way.
Maggie standing alone was not a coincidence as she was following Alex\'s order along with other raiders.
Alex had gestured for them to leave Maggie alone as bait and when the beast is about to bite the bait, bombard it with attacks.
The beast didn\'t know that, but now it knew that it was led to a trap. It still dodged two of the three earth spikes that were coming towards him, with the last one hitting its back and causing a wound to appear.
Even if an A-ranker\'s attack couldn\'t easily kill an S-ranked beast, giving some injuries was a simple matter.

"Grrowwlllll!!"
The beast growled in pain, but things didn\'t end there as one of its legs was strangled by some plants, making it lose its balance.
It fell on the ground, and it wouldn\'t even take a second for it to get up as it was very agile in this mini version of itself. But as if that would be easy....
