There is no way you'll kill it with a party at that level.  I suggest
going into the dungeon and finding certain intersection where an
encounter will occurr *every* time you enter the square.  There is
only one in that dungeon that I am aware of.  Anyway, keep entering
the square and knock off the demons that attack you until you get 
another 10 levels or so.  Then you can try the beast.  Here are
a few hints.  Try to outfit everyone with bat necklaces, they provide
50% resistance vs. light spells (ie the dazzling ligts mr. eye fires
at you), superman, haste and bless all your fighters, summon a monster
(good idea to do this as soon as possible, just so he has another 
target besides your party), and have a good supply of healing &
curing spells on hand.  If that doesn't work, build up a few more
levels, 'cause this guy is NOT going down easily (the hardest
fight in the whole game).  Good luck, you'll need it. :)
