With a rush of swift blows, the battlefield became considerably more vacant. Now, Shield could, and in essence had to, turn his focus entirely on the lion before him. The great creature tossed its mane, agitated, and perhaps in a way frightened. It was hard to say whether it was a trick of the programming, his imagination or something more, but on occasion, the programs themselves almost seemed to Shield to have actual feelings.

This was a debate for another time, though. Not wanting to waste the distraction, Shield rolled to the side, coming up on the lion's flank. With a heave, he clove his axe into the great beast's spine. A familiar spray of red firefly-like particles issued from the spot as soon as the hit had landed, and although his strike's damage was almost invisible, its effects continued to play out as a visible chunk of the lion's health began to drain away.

Beatbox had thought about it for a good minute... and well, the answer was quite simple... he needed to run away to get up his energy while he was out of combat he turned to Shield and said out to him "Yo Shield, I need to get out of combat to regen my energy, its the only way for me to do something to end the boss... just gimme a bit!" he said before trying to run, however the boss did not like him trying to get away and jumped over and pushed Beatbox back into combat with a growl... however its attention switched back to Shield and with a swift movement it critically hit against Shield bypassing a tiny bit of his mitigation to deal a solid amount of damage towards him, however... do to his armor... he had ignored the bleed effects that came along with it. With a sigh he stood back up to try to run away again.

The beast had landed a solid hit on him, but its damage was weak compared to that of the lionesses. As he grit his teeth in preparation for another attack, his health regenerated to its full once again. No matter how the lion tried, its battle was lost. The only question was how long would that take. Shield wound up for another attack, but as the lion went on the defensive, it swatted his attack away with a sweep of its mighty tail. It may not have been strong enough to leave lasting damage on him, but if it came to muscle versus muscle, Shield didn't stand a chance.

He frowned, watching as the lion attempted to pace around the two of them. It seemed as if the beast was trying to keep them wrangled together. If they were to make any real leeway though, Beatbox needed his energy back. As the lion made another pass around them, Shield walked with it, cutting off its path so it was forced to either reverse direction or change tack to try to continue herding them together. It paused, unsure of how to counter the little shift in the battle arrangement.

"You don't get to just box us in like that."

Beatbox had shook his head as he had noticed Shield's HP go back up from the attack that the boss had laid upon him, once the bosses focus was fully on Shield he would take his leave to take some cover to get his energy back up. Beatbox had taken cover behind a boulder once he was fully out of combat and started to take deep breath's he just needed to catch his breath to fully get his energy back to finish the main boss off... hopefully Shield can take care of the boss while he is still in there. The main boss had roared out a mighty roar and tried to attack Shield once more... however, once again... it had very well poorly missed, it had seemed that the boss wasn't on its A-Game at the moment and is honestly just wasting Shield's and Beatbox's time.

As Beatbox slipped away, the lion's nose twitched. Its eyes swiveled in its sockets and its head whipped around to follow its gaze. The great cat's eyes narrowed at the sight of the retreating combatant, but Shield wasn't about to let it get distracted. It crouched to lunge at the back of the other player, and Shield dodged to the side, slashing at the creature's hind paw. The limb was severed, its paw vanishing in a burst of polygons. It tried to leap, but one of its bases had disappeared, and it threw itself forward, tumbling in midair and landing on its side.

Red pixels streamed from the wound, and the creature limped its way back up onto its remaining limbs, snarling at Shield for having, for lack of a better phrase, wrong-footed it so completely.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did you need that?" Shield said with a sneer. He crouched behind his shield, though at this point, this was merely a formality. There was nothing left the beast could do.

Beatbox had took this time to open his inventory and begin to sort it, even though he has seen this many of times before... still, he wanted to make sure that his inventory was nice and organized to his own liking, then checking the same ole same ole messages as he waited to get his energy back in which he darted his eyes back and forth to his energy bar making sure that he was indeed getting energy and how much he was getting. With a sigh he sat back and just waited to get his energy back, maybe there was a better thing to do in his time... but catching up on his PM's and inventory seemed like it was the way to go. Back in the cave, Shield had fought against the boss and managed to get bleed on the boss once more, taking the bleed damage the boss had jumped up to attack once more... but failed miserably to even hit... who would have guessed.

This portion of the battle was slow going, but this is the kind of fight Shield was used to. It may not be pretty or particularly elegant, but it meant survival, which had to be first and foremost. This time around, his foe had missed, but Shield's defense was irrelevant at this point. His shield was there only for its enhancements, and as he stepped cautiously forward, it hung uselessly by his side. He swiped with his axe, but he was not the only one who was focused, and the lion rolled its shoulder to shrug off most of the attack.

Its most recent wound was beginning to close, so if Shield wanted to keep up the damage output, he needed to land another good hit quickly. He circled the lion, who in turn paced its way in counter circles around Shield, its legs bent and ready to spring at a moment's notice.

The lion had roared out as it had lunged forward upon Shield as it had attacked against him, and sure... it did indeed hit him, however the damage was simply irrelevant to Shield as his mitigation was too high combined with his regen: the damage was simply irrelevant yet again, and simply the damage will never be irrelevant. Beatbox had taken a deep breath, he may not know what had been going on inside the cave and on the battlefield right now, he just simply wishes that Shield knows what he is doing and that he can stand his own ground against it. The last thing he wants is for a player death to occur, even if his Mitigation is incredibly high, a tank can still die if they are hit way too hard and they are simply not prepared enough for the battle that is ahead.

Shield was no stranger to the song and dance of having to stall while a DPS recovered its energy. He and Beat had done so on a number of occasions, and it would be no different now. Even on its worst attacks, the lion was not strong enough on his own to deal significant damage to the tank. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched the party statistics, paying particular attention to Beatbox's energy.

A little over half way. Just a little longer.

In response to the most recent blow, Shield pulled his hand back and swung to the side, bringing his weapon about in a wide arc. The lion leaped aside, but not without losing a few pixels of its health bar in the process. Its wounds had finally closed now, which meant Shield would have to pick his windows more carefully to try to trigger more bleed damage.

Beatbox had looked over to his energy bar... and well, it was full once more. Beatbox had smirked, and begun to pray to god that Shield was able to stand his ground and hold his own against the lion, and as he went back into combat, he had saw Shield at full HP and the lion striking against him, dealing a good chunk of damage and his health went right back up again, Beatbox chuckled "Jesus Christ Tanks are a little OP in some cases..." he said with a whisper "Aight Shield, I got my energy back, this battle should be a piece'a'cake now." he had said with a determined smile as he unsheathed his sword and began to charge it with an eerie blue... all he needs to do, is to hit the boss twice... and it should, SHOULD be enough to take out the boss without any problems at all.

"It's possible for any player to be OP if you know how to work the numbers," Shield said, holding the beast's jaws open with his shield crammed into its mouth as it attempted to bite into him. "That's the perks of being a statistician in the real world. Teaches you how to play the odds and how to skew them in your favor when necessary."

He wrenched his shield free and made a swift upward swipe with his axe, to the same effect as before. The lion dodged to the side so that he only caught the very edge of its leg.

"To be fair, without his pride to back him up, this fight is already a piece of cake," he said in response to the other player's comment. "It's just... a piece of cake that I would be forced to savor for a painfully long time on my own."

Shield wasn't wrong, and Beatbox had known that already... he figured with enough SP you'll essentially become... well in lack of other words to say: god. Basically indestructible, and that's how Calrex the Ultramarine Knight had gotten up there and have become the indestructible knight. It was time for Beatbox to take down this lion, there was no doubt in his mind, they can't be spending too much time on it now... sure, there is no way for him or Shield to lose, but it honestly just feels like a waste of time, and when the right time has come... Beatbox had opened his eyes wide and moved forward to the lion and struck against it with incredible power and strength dealing a lot of damage towards it HP, it had looked back and growled, but instead it terribly attacked Shield and missed.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Shield called out, watching as the remaining health was cut down to less than half of what it had been a moment ago. "It's on its last legs now!"

Following up on the powerful sword art that Beatbox had used, Shield made what he was sure would be one last attempt to inflict some proper bleed damage, or at least to inflict the status effect since the lion would die with or without actually bleeding. His axe took the edge of the lion's ear off, but in the commotion of battle, he had not kept a steady bead on his target to deal a proper blow.

He sighed in response to his pitiful damage. It was part of his build, so he had long since accepted it, but it was still nice to end a battle on a good note.

Well, there goes my last chance to contribute.

Welp, it was now or never, the time had came to this... the boss was on its last few legs, and he had known that one more attack will be able to strike down the boss. With a smile, Beatbox had charged up his sword and raised it up to the air as he then struck down, then up, then punched, and then a continuous effect of attacks until the bosses HP hits zero. Beatbox had received the last hit on technicality, however he shrugged and passed the reward to Shield as he wanted it more. "Here's the pelt you've been wantin', if you ever need me again, feel free to shoot me a message, and I'll get to ya as soon as I can. Catch ya on the flipside." he gave Shield a two finger wave with a smile before heading out to head back to his home.
