Chapter 214: Conclusion of the hard battle

“Why the hell are there two Grade S monsters here??!!!!!!”  (I) 

We can’t seem to be distracted for a second in this place, just as I dodged the Death Knight’s attack a blade of black energy comes out of my shadow and cuts my arm off. 

“Aaaaaahh!!!”  (I) 

“DAD!!!”  (Vanessa/Irina) 

“MASTER!!!”  (Layla/Érica) 

“< Sphere of Fire >” (I) 

I control my blood so it doesn’t come out and create a sphere of fire with the hand I still have and place it in the cut to try to close the wound. 

“Be careful with your shadows and don’t stop attacking!”  (I) 

“Érica help to paralyze him, Layla and Vanessa try to use Light magic on him now that he has no more barriers, Irina go help the others with the Death Knight!”  (I) 

I resist the pain and urge to scream, try to stay as calm as possible, and start ordering everyone around, all the while using my line skills to tie the Lesser Lich as tightly as possible. 

“Vanessa, use your Holy magic now!”  (I) 

“< Holy Column >” (Vanessa) 

A column of Holy light emerges from the ground beneath the Lesser Lich’s feet and submerges him within the golden light that lasts for a few seconds before disappearing. 

When the golden light disappears the Lower Lich is still fine and manages to break free of my lines, I notice there is a light layer of golden and black light covering the Lich’s body. 

“Holy magic has no effect on him, use light element magic!”  (Vanessa) 

“< Sphere of Light >” (I) 

“< Mana Barrier >” (I) 

I use a lower level light element spell which is used to create a small sphere of light that is only used to light the environment, I use half of my mana to create a large sphere of light that covers the entire body of the Lower Lich, so I create a barrier that holds the Lich inside the light sphere, then I use the corrosion ability on the light sphere making that light corrode the Lower Lich as if it were dipped in acid. 

Meanwhile, I take a high-level MP potion and drink it to recover a bit for the Mana waste I’m having from wasting so much Mana on this attack. 

Suddenly I feel something pull me to the side then a spear goes through where I was and gets stuck in the wall, the force that this spear had when hitting the wall makes the whole wall crack and break forming a crater in the wall. 

Boooom!!! 

When I see who pulled me I discover it was Byakko in his Tiger form, then I look to where Ivan and the others were fighting the Death Knight, what I see is an uphill battle with Irius, Kira, Ibuki, and Freya’s attacks. barely managing to do some damage, so I look at the Lesser Lich and see that my magic and ability were interrupted by the scare I got when I was pulled, but luckily it looks like my attack was very effective as the Lich drops to his knees and his bones are badly damaged with his clothes reminiscent of a priest full of holes. 

“Layla, attack him with your light magic now!”  (I) 

“< Light Explosion >” (Layla) 

Layla puts all four hands forward and a glowing white sphere begins to suck the light from the room and get bigger, then she fires the spell forward hitting the Lower Lich and exploding in drying light. 

Ding! 

When the light disappears I see the entire area around where the Lower Lich was, everything was burned as well as he was completely still on the ground, so I hear the notification noises, I ignore the notification noise and run to where the Knight of Death is fighting the others. 

Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! 

When I was almost there, the Death Knight let out a scream and a wave of black energy threw me and the others away from him, so a large amount of miasma seems to be sucked into this room through cracks in the walls and a black circle appears behind the Death Knight. 

“We need to stop him, Dad!!”  (Vanessa) 

“He’s using some kind of very powerful Summoning skill, we have to interrupt somehow!”  (Vanessa) 

“Can you use the same magic as before you used to stop the Lich from summoning that Undead?”  (I) 

“Yes, but magic cancel only works on spells, it won’t have an effect on an ability.”  (Vanessa) 

“Then we just have to kill him.”  (I) 

“ALL ATTACK WITH YOUR STRONGEST MAGIC AND SKILLS NOW!!!”  (I) 

“< Sun Ray >” (Layla) 

“< Blade of Judgment >” (Irius) 

“< Tornado of Blades >” (Freya) 

“< Mana Absorption >” (Érica) 

“< Strengthening in Area >” (Irina) 

“< Tower of Fire >” (Ivan) 

“< Blade Storm >” (Ibuki) 

“< Blade Storm >” (Diana) 

“< Spiritual Ray >” (Kira/Byakko) 

Irina uses all her mana to strengthen the others, Erica begins to absorb the Death Knight’s mana from a distance, Ibuki and Diana use the same skill that uses their two swords to send multiple blades flying like a storm at the enemy, Freya uses powerful wind magic creating a tornado where the Death Knight was, the tornado seems to merge with the flames Ivan created with his magic transforming into a fiery tornado full of blades, Layla casts a continuous beam of white light, Irius envelops her large sword with light and shadows launching a black and white blade from his sword advancing towards the Death Knight, Kira stands beside Byakko putting all her spiritual energy into a strange rune that keeps growing bright before releasing a powerful lightning bolt at the enemy. 

While the Death Knight received this shower of attacks his ability kept trying to summon something, even though his armor was falling apart and his ghostly body disappeared showing his true Skeleton form, the Death Knight still managed to resist the continuous attacks, soon a roar that filled me with fear and terror came from the circle behind the Death Knight that had become a whirlpool of darkness. 

RAWWHHHH!!!!! 

“(But what kind of monster is he trying to summon?!)” (I) 

Just as everyone heard the roar, the Death Knight falls still and his body disassembles into several damaged bones, the swirl of darkness behind him begins to shrink in size until it disappears completely. 

Ding! 

I ignore the notification and keep looking at the others who look confused by what was going on, then Layla turned to me and yelled in surprise. 

“What is that crystal in your hands, master!?”  (Layla) 

“…” (all) 

When they heard Layla’s loud voice in this room, which was now completely silent, they all turned to me, Vanessa was the most surprised and the one who understood the situation the fastest. 

“But how? When? I couldn’t even see you approaching him.”  (Vanessa) 

“What are you talking about?”  (Kira) 

“Looks like the master managed to rip out the Death Knight’s core without anyone noticing.”  (Ivan) 

“Great job, master.”  (Ivan) 

“Impossible, I was in front of the master and he didn’t get past me.”  (Diana) 

“…” (I) 

“Stay calm, all I did was use my threads to wrap around his core and then I pulled with all my strength.”  (I) 

“But how did you get through his defenses? My attacks could only scratch his armor.”  (Ibuki) 

“The Death Knight’s spectral body was so tough that even when I attacked between the pieces of armor I couldn’t do any damage.”  (Diana) 

“That’s why I made you attack, the Death Knight was just a Skeleton wearing a spectral body and armor just like Ivan, but he was stronger, so I made everyone attack with everything they had to break their defenses when he returned to his appearance of Skeleton I used my lines and made them reach him by crawling across the floor, after that I took advantage of his attacks weakened him to rip the core out of his body and finish him.”  (I) 

“…” (all) 

Everyone was silent listening to how I did it, but the truth is it was an improvised plan that had a lot of chances of going wrong, but I’m glad it worked. 

“Father, your arm, let me help you.”  (Vanessa) 

“Thanks.”  (I) 

“< Extreme Recovery >” (Vanessa) 

Vanessa runs over and grabs my arm that had been torn off and asks Irina to hold it in place while using high-level healing magic to put it back in place. 

Once my arm is in place I feel it a little numb but this feeling should wear off as I start to look at the condition of the others and realize Ivan is in his Skeleton form with many of his bones cracked Irius he was in shreds of armor and full of wounds, but now he is being treated by Irina, Diana seems to have a broken arm and Ibuki was full of wounds too. 

The others were fine with no apparent injury but just like me everyone is out of energy, Ibuki and Layla are lying on the floor saying nothing just looking at the ceiling as they rest, Irina and Freya sit together as they talk, everyone is settling down and relaxing to rest better. 

Everyone expended every ounce of energy we had in our bodies in this battle, so we deserve a short rest. 

I’m also completely out of strength, this battle that was supposed to be easy was harder than anyone imagined, a lot of strange things happened since we entered the boss’s room, to start with there were two Grade S monsters in the boss’s room, another weird thing was the Lesser Lich being resistant to Holy magic which should have been impossible according to Vanessa, what caught my attention the most was the invocation that the Death Knight was trying to do, I don’t know what it was but it was clearly a stronger monster than himself. 

There are so many strange things that have happened on this floor that I don’t even know where to start, that’s why I’m trying to leave out that strange black Church that released an infinite amount of miasma inside this dungeon. 

“(But what’s going on inside this place?)” (I) 

“(This battle was supposed to be easier than the Basilisk turn, so why did it happen?!!)” (I) 

“(I don’t think I want to know, I don’t want to run into any more problems looking for an explanation for these things, I’ll be happy for what we’ve done for now.)” (I) 

“(All that remains now is to get to the dungeon core.)” (I)
