I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

Steel Shield, Arcane Light, and Beast Friend stood frozen in place, motionless.

Their brains have stopped thinking.

What happened?

What just happened?

Group therapy?

And... instantly full health?

The friend of the beast even forgot to dodge the press, standing there blankly until Hua Zitong kicked him away, and he snapped out of his daze.

"Boss, you have this skill, why didn't you use it sooner?"

Steel Shield muttered in confusion.

"This is not scientific..." As a mage and a spellcaster who studies the elements, Arcane Light could not understand what was happening before her eyes more than anyone else.

She could feel the life energy in that shower of light—pure, vast, yet gentle.

This is completely different from the sacred energy that priests derive from through divine power.

This is like a more fundamental, more primordial force.

"Boss, what's the name of this skill?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Group Healing Arrow," Li Wu replied calmly.

Arcane Light repeated the name, his expression one of shock.

An archer unleashed a wide-area, massively healing group spell with his bow and arrow.

Who would believe that if I told them that?

He'd probably be seen as crazy.

But the facts are right in front of us now.

Hua Zitong smiled as she looked at the three people's shocked expressions.

Although she was equally shocked, seeing her teammates' bewildered expressions, she felt a strange sense of pride.

These are the teammates she chose, aren't they amazing?

Moreover, she knew that Li Wu must have just figured it out on the spot, otherwise he would have used it before.

"Don't just stand there!" Her voice pulled the three of them back to reality. "The boss's mechanics aren't over yet! The controllers haven't been destroyed!"

The three of them realized what was happening.

"Yes, yes, yes! Hit the controller!" Arcane Light raised his staff again, locking the target back onto the controller that was flashing red.

Steel Shield's mindset was completely different from before.

He glanced at Li Wu's figure behind him and felt a sense of security.

With such a super dad by his side, what is he afraid of?

"Come on, you lump of iron! Your grandpa's standing right here today, ready to let you hit me!"

Steel Shield shouted and took the initiative to meet the BOSS's attack, blocking it in place and creating an environment for the back row to deal damage.

The team's morale reached its peak at this moment.

With the reassurance of the [Group Healing Arrow], everyone felt relieved.

Li Wu no longer needs to frantically switch between single-target healing and damage output.

All he needs to do is calmly observe the entire team's health bars.

When most people's health drops to about half, he will calmly draw his bow and fire a group healing arrow.

Green light rained down, instantly restoring the entire team's health to full.

With the remaining time, he can focus on output.

[Fusion Piercing Arrow]!

A series of white beams of light precisely struck the two controllers.

"The controller is broken!" Arcane Light shouted excitedly.

With the controller destroyed, the two high-speed conveyor belts finally came to a slow stop.

Hua Zitong and Beast Friend finally escaped danger, jumped off the conveyor belt, and rejoined the battle.

All five of them are together, and they're going all out!

"roar!"

The BOSS seemed to sense the threat and let out an angry roar.

Its massive mechanical arm began to swing at a faster speed, and the bombardment from the parts turrets became more intense.

The entire workshop was engulfed in flames.

But this time, no one panicked.

"Steel Shield, move three steps to the left to avoid the impact of that stamping press!"

"Arcane Light, control those two newly spawned repair robots!"

"Hua Zitong, the BOSS is about to unleash a laser barrage! Get ready to dodge!"

Li Wu's calm and clear voice rang in everyone's ears.

He is not only a damage dealer and healer, but also a commander.

Under his direction, the five people worked together seamlessly and operated perfectly.

Every movement of the steel shield was precisely timed to coincide with a gap in the artillery fire.

Every control skill of Arcane Light interrupted the BOSS's support units at just the right moment.

Hua Zitong moved swiftly around the BOSS, her longsword flashing coldly.

Li Wu's bow is the core of this team.

When it needs to output, it fires a beam of destruction.

When treatment is needed, it showers down the light of life.

"The BOSS's health is down to 20%! It's about to go berserk!" Hua Zitong shouted.

The enormous mechanical arm began to flash red light at all its joints, and its entire body began to tremble violently.

"It's about to use its ultimate skill! Overload self-destruct! Everyone retreat! Destroyer, push forward!" Li Wu immediately gave the order.

The Destroyer, who had been standing by watching the show, received the order. Its single eye glowed bright red, and it took heavy steps, charging directly towards the BOSS that was about to explode.

boom!

The Destroyer slammed its massive body into the mechanical arm.

At the same time, the BOSS's body expanded to its limit and exploded with a piercing shriek!

A terrifying energy shockwave instantly swept through the entire workshop.

The Destroyer, bearing the brunt of the attack, found its tough armor extremely fragile in the face of this energy, being torn apart and its massive body blasted into pieces.

Its health bar was instantly emptied.

The five people, including Li Wu, who were hiding in the distance, were also hit by the residual force of the shockwave and lost a large amount of health.

"Cough cough... What a powerful self-destruction..." Steel Shield got up from the ground, looking at the messy battlefield with lingering fear.

If the Destroyer hadn't rushed in at the last moment and blocked most of the damage, even with group healing, several of the five of them would probably have been instantly killed.

As the smoke cleared, the massive mechanical arm at the epicenter of the explosion had vanished, leaving only wreckage and debris.

And a pile of spoils radiating various colors of light.

[System Notification: Congratulations to the "Seeing Through the Fog" team for successfully defeating the first boss of the hidden dungeon "The Lost Foundry," namely "Chief Craftsman - Overloaded Iron Arm"!]

[System notification: You have gained 5000 experience points!]

A series of system notifications flashed by.

"You...you won?" The Beast Friend was still somewhat incredulous.

"We won!" Arcane Light jumped up excitedly.

Steel Shield let out a long sigh of relief, plopped down on the ground, and showed a tired but cheerful smile on his face.

They succeeded!

A team without a priest successfully cleared a level 30 hidden dungeon and defeated the first boss!

If this gets out, it will definitely shock the entire District 21!

And all of this is thanks to that man.

All three of them turned their attention back to Li Wu.

His eyes were filled with deep awe and worship.

Li Wu ignored their gazes. He glanced at the Destroyer, now reduced to fragments, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

Damn, it'll take a lot of materials to fix it.

However, when his gaze fell upon the pile of loot dropped by the BOSS, his initial heartache was quickly replaced by joy.

Because the BOSS... exploded!
