[Side Story]

[Isolde and Leonel]

Isolde and Leonel stood in the midst of this breathtaking landscape. Their animated conversation continued while they triggered the quest just what like Ren had instructed.

Amidst the desert's tranquility, the watchful players from Fate Alliance and Great Dynasty exchanged hushed whispers among themselves.

They had initially harbored intentions of launching an ambush, concealing themselves within the shifting sands and behind the dunes. Weapons drawn and spells at the ready, they had prepared for a confrontation.

However, something in the tone of Isolde and Leonel's dialogue gave them pause. Something about a Hidden Boss had raised questions that warranted further observation.

One of the Fate Alliance players, a sharp-eyed rogue with a keen sense for tactics, gestured to the others to hold their positions.

Silently, they observed their avatars hidden among the dunes, their faces concealed by the rocks and dessert.

The Great Dynasty members exchanged knowing glances. They, too, decided to withhold their aggressive intentions, choosing instead to see how events would unfold.

They were only in temporary alliance, cooperating with the goal of supressing World Conqueror in the game.

Their decision was reinforced by the realization that Isolde and Leonel might possess secrets or motives worth uncovering.

As Isolde and Leonel's conversation continued, the tension in the air grew palpable.

In this quiet desert expanse, the watchful eyes of Fate Alliance and Great Dynasty remained fixed on the pair.

For now, they chose to bide their time, allowing the sands of fate to guide their next course of action.

The Pink Desert, with its timeless beauty and its secrets hidden beneath its surface, bore witness to everyone own motives and hidden agendas.

Isolde and Leonel stood on the pristine sands of the Pink Desert. They were unaware that their every move and conversation was being closely observed by a group of players.

The Pink Desert stretched out before them like a surreal dreamscape. The soft, rosy hues of the sand gave the landscape an otherworldly quality, bathed in the warm, golden light of an imaginary sun.

The dunes, graceful and serene, rolled gently, creating a mesmerizing rhythm that seemed to pulse with the heartbeat of the world.

The desert exuded an atmosphere of tranquility, with the ever-present whisper of a breeze carrying fine grains of pink sand through the air. It was a place of ethereal beauty where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blurred.

Isolde and Leonel were decked in their armor and armed with impressive weapons as they triggered the Hidden Boss. All it took was the right position of the sun and the right amount of LCK so the altar would slip from the sand.

Isolde and Leonel stood near a mysterious and ornate altar partially buried in the rosy sands. The altar's surface was adorned with ancient, glowing symbols that seemed to come alive as Isolde placed her hand upon it.

A soft, melodious hum resonated through the air, and the sand beneath the altar began to shift, revealing an entrance to an underground chamber.

Isolde and Leonel exchanged a glance.

"After you," Leonel said and gestured for Isolde to climb down.

Isolde merely rolled her eyes as they descended into the hidden chamber, their steps echoing softly against the stone walls.

Torchlight flickered, casting dancing shadows across the rough-hewn walls as they ventured deeper into the labyrinth.

As they moved forward, their quest to awaken the Hidden Boss began in earnest, triggering a series of intricate puzzles and challenging foes they would have to overcome.

Each step brought them closer to the heart of the Pink Desert's, all while they remained oblivious to the eyes that were locked onto their every move.

Hidden amidst the dunes and concealed by their avatars' abilities, the members of the Fate Alliance and Great Dynasty guilds observed Isolde and Leonel.

Their eyes were trained on the entrance to the underground chamber, and their expressions remained inscrutable as they exchanged hushed whispers among themselves.

Some players clutched their weapons tightly, ready to spring into action if needed, while others channeled spells with cautious anticipation.

At this moment, the Pink Desert, with its surreal beauty and serenity, became the backdrop for a high-stakes drama as Isolde and Leonel navigated through the labyrinthine depths, their destiny unknowingly intertwined with the schemes of those who watched from the shadows.

As Isolde and Leonel arrived at the vast chamber, its walls and floors adorned with intricate symbols, Isolde wasted no time. She promptly set down a special delicacy, carefully crafted by Ren to summon the boss into their midst.

"Get ready," Isolde said when the air shifted and a low growl slowly permeated the room.

[WARNING! You have ENGAGED the Rose Sand Wyrm!]

With the warning came in a colossal, serpentine beast with scales that shimmer like precious gemstones in the desert's soft, rosy light. Its body stretched for an impressive length, easily spanning several dunes, making it a sight to behold.

Its scales were primarily a deep, iridescent crimson, but they have intricate patterns that resembled the petals of a blooming desert rose, lending it its name.

The creature's eyes, the size of dinner plates, were a piercing shade of emerald green and seemed to possess an ancient, sentient wisdom.

Its mouth, lined with rows of razor-sharp, glistening fangs, unhinge to reveal a cavernous maw. When it roared, the sound was like the thunderous rumble of a sandstorm, echoing across the Pink Desert.

ǁ Rose Sand Wyrm ǁ

Abilities:

Rosestorm Breath

The Rose Sand Wyrm can expel a breath weapon that releases a whirlwind of razor-edged rose petals. These petals can slice through armor and flesh with ease, creating a devastating area of effect attack.

Quicksand Manipulation

The creature has mastery over the desert's sands and is capable of summoning and controlling quicksand pools to trap and ensnare its foes.

Thorny Hide

Its scales are not just for show; they provide natural armor that is nigh impenetrable, requiring cunning strategy and teamwork to overcome.

Blossom Fury

When provoked, the Rose Sand Wyrm enters a frenzied state, causing the desert's dunes to tremble as it becomes even more formidable in battle.

ǁ E N D ǁ

Unlike regular bosses, the Rose Sand Wyrm couldn't be defeated without a special item.

To defeat the Rose Sand Wyrm and claim victory in this hidden boss encounter, Isolde and Leonel must decipher ancient inscriptions within the desert, find specific desert roses, and utilize their unique properties to weaken the creature.

However, Ren already crafted the desert rose, so they didn't had to do all that and just skipped to the beating.

"Ready?" Isolde asked Leonel.

Leonel grinned. "Ready when you are."
