Chapter 114 Round 2?
Shaman found herself back in the same pure black room with a small crystal light but this time instead of being in her mind she was physically there. Shaman was able to open her system and all her elements were perfectly fine, further proving that this is her physical body.
'I need to make sure to not waste my mana here.' Shaman took a quick peek at her status.
[HP: 4300/4300]
[MP: 6480/8000]
Shaman winced a little as she had almost used 2000 mana points and most of it was consumed by the Flamescion skill.
'Let's just hope it requires minimal effort to get out of here.' Shaman was more worried about her friends on the outside than she was for herself.
Shaman wasn't left in her thoughts for long as mist started to converge in front of her creating a skeleton knight.
"Great it's you again, hopefully this time I am not interrupted." Shaman's hatred for the knight resurfaced, as all she wanted to do was reduce its very being to dust.
"It's a shame that I was unable to take over your body, you would have been a great vessel." A cold raspy voice came from the skeleton knight, putting Shaman on high alert.
"Well, you underestimated me and my partner!" Shaman assumed that it was the boss speaking to her which was an unexpected turn of events.
'Himeko was right, the dungeons are starting to become stranger, almost like a separate society has developed here.' Although the dungeon was still rather normal it was showing small signs of sentient life putting into question, what are the dungeons?
"Tch, you won't be so lucky this time!" The Boss got agitated and its form began to change.
Instead of a few metres tall knight, it had shrunk to the size of a human. The armour gained small spikes along the shoulders and arms. The helmet took the shape of a skull and purple eyes glowed behind its slits. A golden crest of sorts had appeared on the chest piece. It was the same symbol that was displayed all around the cathedral up above, a skeleton raising its sword in the air. Each piece was completely black making it indistinguishable from the black space around them. The only way Shaman could tell it apart was by the slight purple tint on the armour and the golden crest on its chest piece, barely making it visible in the weak light.
After the boss transformed it punched the ground creating a small hole. Slowly the boss pulled out a blade that reminded Shaman of the demon scythe they had obtained from the skeleton knight as a drop.
The sword had black chains wrapped around the hilt which was adorned with a purple gem. The pommel of the blade was gold and embedded on it was the same symbol that the boss had on its chest
The blade itself was completely black with a purple aura flowing floating around it.
'Shit why doesn't my sword look that cool.' Shaman was a fan of the boss's sword, wanting it for herself since purple was her favourite colour and pairing it with black made it look very appealing.
However, Shaman couldn't gawk at it for too long as the boss dashed towards her. The speed of the boss was comparable to that of instructor Stein which was what Shaman was used to, allowing her to react in time.
Both their swords clashed with one another with the purple aura spilling out in Shaman's direction. Shaman quickly changed Kotetsu's affinity to fire and activated [fire coat]. Shaman made Kotetsu burst out in flames stopping the purple aura that behaved similarly to the mist.
'Seems like it's weakness is still fire.' Shaman was glad to see that it was still vulnerable to fire.
'But this purple aura, it's like the mist but more refined.' Shaman's main concern was the aura as she had no idea what kind of effects it could have if she got in contact with it.
"You're lucky you are multi-elemental." The boss spoke with annoyance, making it sound as if without Shaman's ability to learn multiple elements, she would have been dead already.
"Sounds like a 'you' problem!" Shaman pushed back the boss's sword while also sending out a [fire slash], making the boss jump back in order to dodge it.
Shaman kept the initiative and followed up her [fire slash] with a dash towards the boss. Once in front of the boss Shaman performed a faint side attack, baiting the boss to block. Shaman then pulled back her blade to go for a piercing attack on the boss's head. Shaman had quickly changed the affinity to ice and used it to extend her blade.
A blade of ice extended off Kotetsu, heading straight for the boss's helmet. Thanks to the extension Shaman was able to hit the boss, but since it was ice, it shattered upon impact. However it still stunned the boss allowing Shaman's blade to continue and pierce the helmet.
Shaman hoped that she had killed the boss but seeing as no notifications were appearing she assumed her attack was not effective. Her guess was right as purple aura oozed out of the helmet and tried to reach for Shaman, making her pull back Kotetsu.
'Damn I should have used my fire.' Shaman realised it was a perfect opportunity to use her fire but was too focused on her swordsmanship.
The boss raised his sword and swung down onto Shaman as she pulled away her sword. Shaman just barely managed to redirect the blade but still got cut across the arm. Shaman jumped back quickly grabbing her bleeding arm, wincing a bit from the pain.
She used [heal] as she normally does for wounds but for some reason the wound was not healing. Shaman looked down and could see that there was a purple marking around the wound with a little bit of the purple aura floating around it.
'Shit, it's anti-magic?' Shaman began to panic a little as now any risky ideas became life threatening.
"Seems like you noticed, Better not get hit by my sword otherwise there might be more consequences!" The boss quickly charged at Shaman, not allowing her the time to cover the wound.
Shaman barely managed to block the sword with one hand but without her other arm she was being pushed back. While she was being pushed back she opened a [spatial rift] behind her escaping the boss.
Shaman tried covering her wound in ice but due to being anti-magic any element that came in contact got destroyed.
'Looks like the old fashioned way it is.' Shaman tore the bottom of the shirt that she was wearing and wrapped it around the wound.
Shaman moved from her original position and came out of the rift safely. The boss turned and locked his eyes on her, instantly charging at her.
Shaman conjured up 20 ice spears and shot them towards the boss at once. Unfortunately most of them were deflected, but some still managed to hit. It did not look like the boss took any real damage, but at least its movements were slowed down making it easier for Shaman to react.
The boss thrusted his sword towards Shaman's chest but was much slower due to the ice spears still embedded in his body, allowing Shaman to parry the strike.
Shaman changed Kotetsu's affinity to fire and created a whirlwind of fire catching the boss in it. Shaman had also used [fire coat] again and went to strike the boss's chest. It sliced like a knife through butter, going through the armour with ease.
Shaman increased the intensity of the flames, filling the armour with fire on the inside while also slowly melting the metal. Shaman looked into the helmet and saw that it had red eyes instead of purple and realised something.
'Shit it's not the real one' Shaman quickly turned just in time to barely block a hit to her back. This time it was the knight with purple eyes.
"Tch." The boss clicked its tongue, jumping back to stay away from the fire that was whirling around Shaman. .
"Not going as well as you thought, dear?" Shaman, wanting to be a bitch wanted to annoy the boss further.
"Oh shut up, darn vixen, you can hardly face me!" Shaman's attempts at getting the boss agitated seemed to be working and so she wanted to push its buttons even more.
"Oh? Then why do you have to rely on such cheap tricks? You scared?" Shaman then wagged her 4 tails at the boss, taunting it further.
'This is a lot of fun, I wonder if I should be like this to Elysia.' Shaman got distracted for a moment and was brought back by the sudden change in atmosphere.
The boss had released its full aura and it began to violently swirl around it. Cold sweat ran down Shaman's face as this was an unexpected turn of events making her regret recklessly infuriating her opponent.
'I need to make sure to not waste my mana here.' Shaman took a quick peek at her status.
