“That was incredible, Mirage!”, exclaid Silver Blade, voicing her admiration. She looked at Liam who stood under the golden stars falling from the sky like snow, his heaving chest granting him the appearance of a victorious warrior.
The golden light reflected from his white armor engulfing Liam in a heroic sheen. No one could deny that he looked extrely dazzling in the dark graveyard.
Liam, however, felt beyond exhausted showing only a faint smile. The fight had pushed him towards his ntal limits.
“Expert, you're insane! It felt like you had my every move in your mind! How did you do it?”, questioned Cyclone with sparkling eyes.
“It's nothing.”, answered Liam while sitting down between two graves. The others thought Liam was just being humble seeing how he was clearly exhausted. But Liam rather didn't know how to explain himself.
Should he tell everyone that he was living a second life and had already studied the ga extensively down to every last detail, his vast experience giving him an advantage even if he wasn’t familiar with boss's exact skills?
Liam was afraid his friends would call him crazy. Well, at this point... they might actually believe it.
Chuckling to himself Liam shook his head.
“What? Trying to be mysterious?”, joked Quickstep.
“No, no. I'm just not sure myself. I guess I'm just that talented.”
“Pff and here I thought you wanted to be humble!”, exclaid Balm, drawing laughter from everyone.
The mood was great as the party continued to talk amusedly. Liam's friends once again felt that with him around no obstacle could bar their path.
However, everyone could tell that the fight took a toll on their expert. No one ntioned continuing until Liam had recovered, giving the signal himself.
Cyclone hastily took the lead as a bunch of loot was still waiting for her. Tall chains laid next to the black portal leading towards Kelsnim's tower, dissolving upon being touched by Cyclone.
The blond woman's expectation unfortunately turned into disappointnt. The boss didn’t grant a single rare item rather dropping an overwhelming number of uncommon ones.
It was enough for the party to upgrade so equipnt and still store a few pieces in the guild treasury, among them even so with level requirents nearing thirty.
Although the value of so much equipnt wasn't low, Cyclone didn't hold it in high regard. She urged the party to continue, stating that Kelsnim better pay the debt he owed them now. Her frightening expression could scare even devils as the party entered hell.
The view from the large tower was still bleak as always. Liam and his friends didn't waste much ti here, walking down the stairs, their footstep echoing ominously through the tower.
Soon they were blocked by a black barrier, prompting them to cross one of the four doors, entering the dim room perated with a faint chill, a sll of decay wafting through the air.
“I never thought you would make it here.”
Kelsnim's familiar raspy voice rang through the room followed by heavy footsteps as Rouna’ar appeared carrying a large, spiked club engulfed in a bloody aura.
A mont later the staircase disappeared revealing the red-skinned Kelsnim sitting on his throne, haughty as ever, as if his previous defeat was but an illusion.
The party didn't interrupt Kelsnim's mocking words anticipating the start of the fight. As soon as they could move, they checked the two bosses.
[Devil Child Kelsnim
Rank: Boss
Level: 27
HP: 11.600/11.600]
[Rouna’ar, Kelsnim’s servant
Rank: Boss
Level: 26
HP: 14.600/14.600]
“Level 27? So fierce?”, cried Cyclone involuntarily. Everyone frowned preparing for a difficult fight.
Imdiately a terrifying wail echoed through the room, assaulting everyone's heads, stunning them in place. Kelsnim and Rouna’ar showed no hesitation as they began their assaults.
Only Silver Blade, breaking the stun with her [Will of the Vanguard], was able to prevent the worst-case scenario. She threw herself in front of Fortune blocking both the devil child and his servant.
[Stance -23]
[Stance -26]
Watching Silver Blade's stance reduced by a large amount her friends felt the mounting pressure. They shook off the stun a mont later, ready to drown the enemies in attacks.
Liam took the lead in targeting Kelsnim, appearing next to the devil child, his swords resembling an executioner's blade targeting the devil child's neck.
[-159!]
[-80!]
His friends moved simultaneously except for Radiant Shield and Bloody Edge who were still affected by the stun. Damage numbers popped up above Kelsnim's head, chipping away at his HP.
“How dare you attack the master!”
Rouna’ar’s shout brimming with righteous anger echoed through the room. The tall demon swung his massive spike at Silver Blade putting pressure on the tank. It didn't take long until only a little of her stance was left.
Fortunately, Radiant Shield finally recovered, drawing the black abyss demon away. Still, the next attack coming from Kelsnim was enough to brake Silver Blade's stance.
[-803!]
The tank's body shook as a black sphere of sinister magic shattered on her shield. Silver Blade checked her status, doing so brief calculations.
