9 – (Season 1) Burning Chicken Raid
Jim gave some pointers to the whole team and practiced with some dummies in the training room. He noticed Carrot's mana distribution did not fully gather at her hands, he recommended to focus on channeling mana to her hands. Butter focused on blocking rather than parrying if possible. He led him to show the basics of parrying and butter caught on quick and was able to use parries as him main skill to reduce the damage up to 90%. He didnt see any major issues with Blue Moon or the spear user and could not give any advice.
The team discussed the major issue of the raid. Once the boss gets down to 30%, the player who is closest to the boss will temporarily chance into a chicken for the remaining battle. Most of the videos posted demonstrated the issue. The loss of a team member usually led to a team wipe. In their case they have an advantage. Since a clone counts as a player, Jim can send a clone to change into the chicken while they continue to attack the boss.
Once they devised a plan to attack the raid boss the team entered the raid boss dungeon. The raid boss has 10 full bars of hp. Jim summoned Jake and Adam as clones and Butter was leading the group as a tank. Jake chose a comfortable spot in the back of the group and started chanting his prayers and the group received a 20% buff to attack and healing.
Butter initiated the attack and started started pulling aggression towards him. Once aggro was established everyone started attacking. The physical attackers were attacking the chicken legs while Carrot focused on attacking the body and head due to the size of the chicken. HP bar started to dwindle from 10 bars, 9 bars... 4 bars … 3 bars. Once the boss health declined to 3 bars everyone backed off while one dummy clone remained in the front which turned into a chicken. Everyone resumed attacking the boss as it reached down to 1 bar. Suddenly the boss entered a rage induced state and ignored Butter and started attacking people randomly. It first attacked the the spear user, then the mage. Both players succumbed to their injuries and died. The tank was the next person to follow after leaving just Jake, Jim and Blue Moon. Blue Moon activated super sight and was able to evade the chickens swift attacks. Jim had to rely on substitution jutsu and parrying to reduce most of the damage. At this rate Jim was not able to attack the boss freely and he had to mostly focus on parrying attacks. He was not as fluid as Blue Moon as his health was slowly being chipped away. When the chicken switched to attacking Blue Moon, Jim quickly drank a health potion. Thanks to the healing buff, he received an additional 20% in health back.
Jim went back to attacking the chicken. After 5 more minutes, both blue moon and jim was starting to get tired and their attacks and evasions were slowing down. Nobody had pushed the boss health down to 10% of 1 health bar. They both needed one big push to take the boss down but they were running on empty. Evading attacks took all of their efforts. When all hope was being lost, the dummy clone chicken turned back into a clone. Jim was able to send Adam's ego into the clone. Adam was 100% ready to go into battle. Adam threw rocks at the chicken from the back and Jim used substitution jutsu to switch places with a rock flying toward the back of Burning Chicken. Jim swung his mana blade and it got stuck in the chicken's neck. Adam used the substitution jutsu and switched places with another rock headed towards the chicken and yelled in the air “Mountain Hammer”. Meanwhile, Blue Moon was swinging her sword from the opposite side (in front of chicken). Once the dust settled, the chicken was still standing with a tiny bit of health left. All three players weapons were stuck in the chicken neck. When the chicken was about to attack all three players, Jake used substitution jutsu to switch places with Jim. He took out a bag of cow poop and swung it at the chicken head, this attack was 50% stronger as jake did not move while praying activating hidden perception. This last ditch attack from Jake brought the boss down, but the bag of cow poop ripped open throwing cow poop on Blue Moon, Jake and Adam.

System Notification: Blue Moon, Carrot, Butter, Link, Sera cleared the Burning Chicken Raid.
All three players look tired and the remaining three dead players revived on the battlefield. Link, Butter, Carrot ran up to join the group but decided to stay 10 feet away from them due to their smell. Blue Moon was clearly irrated of the foul order but was still estaic to clear the raid. The system announced that as the first party to clear the raid, they will receive a bonus reward. Five doors opened in front of the characters. Everyone was excited to see what they will receive. Everyone decided to enter the doors with their names on it. Jim was the only one to stack back. He took the chicken bone which started absorbing the chicken blood. As he was absorbing the chicken blood, a wispy smoke came out from the chicken's body.
System Notification: A legendary soul has appeared. You may capture the soul.
Jim was waiting for this moment. Although he wasn't sure what made the raid special, he knew there had to be something special. As soon as he saw the countdown timer starting from 10 seconds, Jim jumped up and tried to grab the wispy smoke.
Unfortunately, he phased right through the wispy smoke. He summoned Adam and Jake to see if they could grab the smoke. The same thing happened to them as Jim. When the countdown was down to five seconds, Jim tried to recall anything special from his future memories. The previous immortal phoenix did not mention anything special other than entering with a chicken.
Jim said “that's it, I need a chicken”.
He quickly summoned the chicken and the wispy chicken soul flew to the chicken.
System Notification: Do you want to combine the soul and Dawn together?
“Yes I accept”
System Notification: Dawn has increased its life rating to epic.
Jim eyes shined with greed. An epic beast will surely be of use to him in the future. As he started thinking of the possibilities, Dawn ate the chicken meat from the bone within 3 seconds. Jim never saw anyone or anything eating this fast before.
System Notification: Dawn has collected Burning Chicken nutrients. The pet will enter a hibernation phase for 3 years.
Dammit, I didn't get to look at the special abilities yet. A shell started forming around Dawn and it reverted back to a golden chicken egg, but this time, the egg color was a rainbow before it jumped into his body.
