I am not the same player I
was when I entered this dungeon. Fighting the endless amounts of undead while
being lost in the labyrinth, and especially combating all those superior undead
in the prison confines. I have killed more than the rest, and with my agility
still growing thanks to my class skill effect, I have reached level 97.
“Let’s go!”
I call out to the others,
as I become the first person to enter the battle with this boss.
I leave an afterimage
behind to confuse the boss as I close the distance between us. Unleash a lethal
blow to the bosses neck, a metallic clang resounds as the force of hitting a
solid wall transmits up my arms.
Somehow, the boss raised
its shield and blocked me.
Not understanding how it
could do that when it couldn’t possibly see me, I am at a loss for words.
I just back not a moment
too soon as Law swings its sword down at me. The sword may look ordinary, but
it gave off a nightmarishly menacing aura with that swing.
I make some distance between
us and try circling the boss before charging. At this moment Fen and Mason
start launching their projectiles attacks. A few got through its defence, but
most of the attacks were blocked, resulting in its health dropping by only a
few percent.
I charge in from the side
ahead of my mirage and attack, which is once again blocked. I don’t understand
how it is seeing through my attacks.
Law counter attacks by
swinging his ordinary looking sword again, I try to distance myself but the
blade slightly grazes my chest.
As soon as it did, the
whole world went dark.
‘Tch! Blind!’
“Everyone, be careful. Its
blade has a ‘blind’ enchantment.”
Twenty seconds pass before
the world returns to my vision. The others are barraging Law with ranged
attacks while Matrix gets up close and personal. I didn’t really pay much
attention to it before, but he is incredibly skillful with a sword. He must
either have a monstrous dexterity stat, or possibly train with the sword in
real life.
Law’s health drops to
eighty five percent as Matrix casts a fire spell onto his blade, wrapping it in
flames. Although, this time there is no chant.
‘I knew it! So your
chant was just trash talk!’ I
convicted him in my mind.
Even when the boss blocked
one of the magic swordsman’s attacks, the fire would flicker past the shield
and do damage anyway. Strangely enough, the boss still hasn’t actually moved
from his starting position. He turns around, but that is about it.
Law seemed to fidget a
little as Matrix came in for another attack. Right after he started to swing,
the boss turned into a blur. Circling the swordsman with an unparalleled speed,
it quickly got behind him and tried to cleave him in two.
I seem to notice the
trailing behind the boss’s movements, the mist gets disturbed. trails of whirlpools
form in the mist wherever he moves.
‘Of course, that is
how it knew where I was attacking from! My real body disturbs the mist as I
travel through it.’
Matrix, realizing the
danger he is in, followed through with his original attack and swung the sword
over his head, blocking at least some of the attack by the boss.
“Matrix!” Mason called out
from near the door, “It is a speed type! We need to use that !”
Making up my mind, I
charge directly at Law, who readies its shield in wait for me. It is the same
attack as the previous two, except, this time I also use ‘Backstab’
Right when I am about to
hit its shield, the image of me disperses and becomes one with the mist.
Meanwhile, I appear from behind law and start attacking with sacred arts. With
no care for conserving stamina, I go from using ‘Cross X’, to ‘Triple Thrust’,
to once again using ‘Backstab’.
My stamina completely
drains in minutes, forcing me to momentarily retreat. Law’s health has finally
dropped down below half way, and is currently having its movements restrained
by Fen’s ice bolts. Mason is shooting arrows at
