The next morning urig awakened, fully prepared for the day. He had gotten a good night's rest and all of his fatigue went away. Yuki on the other hand was still dead asleep as he laid on his stomach.
"Get up, don't you wanna finish this dungeon soon?" urig said as he began to shake. Yuki in hopes of waking him up.
"I will make you unleash your true power," Yuki mumbled half asleep.
urig grabbed Yuki by the collar and began dragging him across the stage floor until he finally woke up.
"What was that for?!" Yuki spoke in protest.
"It's not my fault a certain idiot overdid a little 'practice'," urig mocked Yuki.
"Well at least I'm not lazy," Yuki rebudled.
"We don't have ti to argue, get yourself ready and let's enter the next stage," urig said as he cald himself down.
Yuki stretched for a few minutes and began heading towards the gateway and urig followed suit.
[Save point reached]
[If you would like to move to the 9th stage of the dungeon, please step forward]
[Stage 9 difficulty: level 5]
"Let's give it our all!" Yuki said to motivate the two man team.
"Yeah!" urig repied.
Once again, Yuki stepped through the white light and the new stage beca visible. The terrain was a graveyard which was very similar to the first stage, however, this one was much larger.
In the sky was a levitating figure wearing a dark cloak with a hood. The figure was holding a large scythe. It also had a skull for a face.
"I should've guessed it was sothing like this," Yuki said.
[The ruler of souls: Grim Reaper Calypso]
"Should I attack him first?" urig asked.
"Nope, we aren't going to waste ti here. I have a better idea," Yuki replied.
[Open inventory]
Yuki proceeded to pull out 6 attack boost potions.
"Drink up!" Yuki said cheerfully to urig.
"Seriously?" urig replied.
"I'm being dead serious, I want you to take a lead on this stage. Of course, I'll co in at the end to tap the enemy so the exp share will be activated but other than that, he's all yours," Yuki explained.
"Thanks, I won't disappoint," urig replied as he began to drink the capsules of attack potions as quickly as he possibly could.
He began to run as quickly as he could towards Calypso.
"All I'll need is one clean hit on him and we can proceed to the last stage. I'll win this for the both of us!" urig said to himself.
Before the shadowy figure could even touch him, Calypso activated his stage ability.
[Soul Switch]
Instantly, urig's body fell to the ground. However sothing was off. urig could see his own body fall to the ground. For so odd reason, urig couldn't move and he felt shorter.
As urig pieced together everything that was happening, Calypso went in to attack urig's unresponsive body. He lifted his scythe high in the air and began to bring it down at urig's neck. Just then , Yuki ca rushing with "Lucky Sword" and blocked Calypso's attack.
After exactly 5 seconds of confusion, urig was facing the ground.
"Get away from him Yuki! His ability is to switch people's bodies with objects. I'll need to find an opening, so cover for while his ability is active. It looks like he can only keep it active for about 5 seconds," urig explained.
"Got it! Once you regain your body, give it all you have. Don't worry, I'll create an opening for you to attack," Yuki replied.
urig began to rush towards Calypso. Knowing that his ability still needs to recharge before it can be used again Calypso began attacking with his scythe, making sure to not give urig a chance to counter. Yuki tried to interfere however, Calypso easily avoided all of the attacks while focusing on urig.
[Soul Switch]
Calypso once again activated his ability, and made urig switch bodies with the gravestone.
"Don't worry," Yuki said as urig's body fell to the ground.
Calypso continued to make attempts at decapitating urig's head. However, each attempt was easily stopped by Yuki. After exactly 5 seconds had passed, urig returned to his body. As he began to get up, he prepared to finish the fight off.
"Yuki, give an opening now!" urig shouted.
"You got it!" Yuki replied as he gave a thumbs up to urig.
Yuki swung "Lucky Sword" at Calypso's scythe. Even though Calypso tried to gain control over the fight once more, Yuki didn't let up.
"Now's your chance! Give it all you got!" Yuki yelled to urig.
With all the power and determination urig had, he put everything into his fists. He clenched his teeth and punched Calypso right in the ribs. Both Yuki and urig could hear bones cracking. urig smiled at Yuki midair and continued to plumt himself into Calypso. urig made his enemy fly and crash into the stage walls. Calypso's body made a dent in the wall.
"Nice!" Yuki said as he high fived urig.
"Thank you for allowing to prove myself," urig said as he smiled.

[Description: Power: When a critical hit is landed on the enemy, the dagger makes contact with the target's soul for a few seconds, causing them to get nauseous and confused. Greed often leads to the corruption of a person's soul. While most are greedy for money, Calypso on the other hand was greedy to live. He enjoyed the simple things in life and didn't want to let go of it. Even after the death, Calypso's soul resisted moving on to the after life. The gods cursed him for his betrayal and made him be a servant of death in turn being responsible to lead souls into the afterlife. Never being able to enjoy life once again, Calypso began taking out his anger on the souls of the dead. Once the gods found out about his injustice, they cast him away in the dungeon.]
"I thought there were no gods?" urig asked after looking over Yuki's shoulder to analyze the description.
"There aren't, all the descriptions are made up by Zero to make this world seem more interesting," Yuki replied.
