An Extra’s POV

Boss Monsters usually exist as two kinds.

The first Kind is the 'Commander' type, who is usually surrounded by tons of minions and has a lot of influence over them.

It would be difficult facing this Boss Monster because not only would the challenger have to defeat it, they also have to focus their efforts on the mobs that naturally assist their leader.

As a result, Parties are necessary for fights like this—whether in a game, or in a world of Magic and Fantasy.

However…

… There exists the second type of Boss.

The Solo Boss!

In a way, this one can end up being even more troublesome than the first.

At least, the first Boss is guaranteed to be defeated with proper teamwork and well-coordinated actions.

Since it's a 'Commander' type, it's usually weak individually—though exceptions to this exist.

A Solo Boss, however, is an 'Assault' type.

Its power far surpass anything a 'Commander' can dream of wielding, and one could also refer to this type as a Tyrant.

Only one thing matters when it comes to subjugating this kind of Boss.

… Power!

Teamwork and coordination can work for a while, but without sufficient power, it's all pointless.

It just so happened that Rey found the Boss of the Eighth Floor to be the second type.

An unstoppable Tyrant!

The seven-meter-tall monstrosity rose from its giant throne as it fixed its gaze on Rey.

Its immensely muscular form slouched thanks to its quadrupedal nature, but that did not at all diminish its presence.

It had unbelievably huge arms. And while its legs were much smaller, they looked thick with muscles—like the stump of a robust tree.

Misty breath escaped its lips as it stared at Rey. Its three eyes all had different colors—blue, red, and purple.

The latter was on its forehead.

"Easy, big guy…" As the creature's growl began to rise to a climax, Rey's voice interrupted it.

"Enough flexing already."

The Monster's glare tightened, and veins appeared all over its ugly ape-like face.

"I'm ready when you a—!"

Before Rey could complete his sentence, the beast closed its distance with Rey and sent one of its robust hands forward.
