“Good job!”

  Liam was indeed impressed with Radiant Shield’s quick rea.

  “You could’ve said something.”, pihe burly warrior.

  Not wanting to ent, Bleary Mirage shook his head. He couldn’t warn the party about everything beforehand. Else they would not be able to grow, never able to defeat stronger bosses.

  While the two warriors were talking, no oood still. Radiant Shield shed out with his shield, firmly seg aggro, allowing the other cled fighters to attack as well.

  [-190!!!]

  Bloody Edge grinned as he attacked like a predator out of stealth, nding a solid critical hit.

  [-98!]

  paratively, Liam was rather unhappy with his damage although it was roughly on par with the rest of the party.

  “You! Suffer my wrath!”

  Fuyarhin shouted angrily as the bck lines on his neck wiggled. He jumped backwards, whirling his staff. A red light lit up on its tip.

  “What is this?”

  The question was on everyone’s mind as a red ray of light suddenly shot at Radiant Shield.

  “On no, it’s a magical attack!”

  The tank gritted his teeth as his stance almost emptied out.

  “Close the distance!”

  Silver Bde waved her sword, pelling the party to move. But at this moment a few vents lit up before them.

  “Careful!”

  Bloody Edge was too eager, ahead of the party. Suddenly bck fmes enveloped him.

  [-84!]

  Feeling the heat pying around his skin, the thief turned anxious, doing a strange roll backwards.

  [-60!]

  “Don’t around! Get rid of your burn!”, reminded Liam.

  Bloody Edge’s mind was chaotic as he reacted instinctively, taking out two stalks of Fiery Tacaria.

  [-30!]

  After o tick of burhief barely mao save his life. Balm swung her wand, sending a fortable energy his way, healing him back to full.

  “Thanks!”

  “Don’t mention it.”

  “Watch out!”

  Silver Bde’s eyes never swayed form the fmes. As they died down a sed ter, she glimpsed at the priest’s staff enveloped in a red light.

  Warning the party, she took the front, weling the hit.

  [Stance -5]

  The magic attack was noticeably less powerful, posing no problems to the powerful tank.

  “Now! Attack!”

  The party reacted immediately, surging towards the head priest like an unstoppable flood, multiple attacks engulfing him, a lot of skills mixed in.

  “You imbeciles! Die already!”

  “AHHH!”

  Fuyarhi out a guttural scream. An invisible force pushed the party back. The bck lines on his neck grew, quickly swallowing his face.

  The priest’s hair turned bck as well, his eyes spewing bck fmes.

  “You asked for this!”

  Even the priest’s voice ged, turning deeper, almost demonic.

  Fuyarhin suddenly swung his staff in a wide arc. A bergy attack shot out.

  “Careful! Dodge!”

  Silver Bde remihe party as she took a step to the side, proteg Balm behind her shield. A heavy impact rocked her body.

  [Stance – 11]

  Silver Bde frowned, iing the enemy again.

  Skill 2: ???]

  The party scrambled madly, not expeg su attack. Unfortunately, only Liam and Silent Acacia mao dodge, all the others taking the direct hit.

  Huge damage numbers plopped up above everyone’s heads. Cye and Fortune were close to death, only the nephilim’s natural defense against dark damage saving them.

  “My heal isn’t off cooldow.”

  Balm was anxious, but Fortune calmed her down.

  “Don’t worry we have health potions.”

  “No, don’t use them yet.”, disagreed Liam.

  “Why?”

  “Let’s only use them if we are close to clearing the dungeon.”

  “Hmm. Heartless.”

  Fortune grumbled as Bleary Mirage more or less just sentenced her to death.

  Liam wasn’t in the mood tue as everyone approached the head priest again. Fuyarhin leaned on his staff, appearing tired, but he wasn’t in a weakeate.

  [-32!]

  Liam frowned, notig the heavy redu to his damage.

  “Die!”

  Fuyarhin growled as he flourished his staff again. Radiant Shield gritted his teeth, ready to block.

  [-180!]

  [-150!]

  Radiant Shield’s body trembled as the priest attacked twice. With wide eyes he stared at his status.

  “Damn, almost half of my HP are gone.”

  “Are you sure you are a tank?”

  “Do you want to take the hit?”

  “Never mind.”

  Radiant Shield and Quickstep bickered as everyone was intimidated by the priest’s damage.

  “We o kill him quickly!”, reminded Silver Bde solemnly.

  “Yes!”

  Cye echoed her bestest friend as she threw another [Holy Strike]. Fortunately, the extra effect triggered, dealing additional holy damage.

  “AH!”

  Fuyarhin screamed angrily, losing a staggering 100 HP from the holy damage.

  “That should be his weakness!”

  “Mages, use your skills on cooldown!”

  “Burn in the fmes of hell!”

  Before the party could press on, Fuyarhin quickly retreated to the side. A wall of fmes surrounded him.

  “Get away from him!”

  Liam couldn’t hold himself back from warning his friends sternly, already dashing backwards.

  Uo the party, Fuyarhin began to rotate his staff quickly. Strong winds blew through the room, letting the fmes flicker eerily.

  Unnaturally rge sparks separated from the fme wall, shooting in all dires.

  The party members dodged left and right, sweat running down their backs.

  [-20!]

  [-20!]

  The fmes didn’t deal much damage but were difficult to evade. Cye and Fortune had unwilling eyes as they dropped to the floor, dead.

  The indiscrimiaded after a while, with everyoaking varying amounts of damage. Balm looked at the dropping HP with a worried heart, using her heal on Radiant Shield.

  A momehe head priest appeared again, approag the party for another assault.

  Radiant Shield took a deep breath, blog so the others could nd another round of attacks.

  “Only 900HP left! We got this!”

  Silver Bde tried to ence everyone while keeping a close look on the multiple vents.

  Suddenly she spotted something.

  “Quickstep! Move!”

  As a seasoned pro, Quickstep ko trust her teammates. She jumped to the side right in time as a burst of fmes came from the ceiling.

  “Niunication guys! Keep it up!”

  Fuyarhin’s fa the other hand turned increasingly ferocious, the bck oving over his skin as if alive. Aaff attack followed.

  Radiant Shield’s HP almost dropped to zero. Just as the party was about to attack again, the head priest opened up some distand fired anic attack.

  Silver Bde’s tration was at a peak. She didn’t allow the priest to attack Radiant Shield again, stepping forward to defend.

  [-25!]

  “Wow, those magic attacks barely leave a dent in your defense!”, excimed Balm happily.

  Meanwhile the close bat forces caught up with the priest, dishing out another wave of attacks.

  “Yooouu!”

  Fuyarhin voice was drawn out as his staff lit up with a bck light.

  “Careful! It’s that skill!”

  A wave of dark energy shot at the group. Despite Silver Bde’s heroic defehe grim reaper came to harvest lives this time.

  Bloody Edge and Radiant Shield died tragically. The others, their stance mostly used up, took varying amounts of damage as well.

  “Is this it?”

  Silent Acacia whispered, disheartened. Silver Bde looked over in surprise. She instantly saw the red glow below his feet.

  “Acacia! Careful!”

  The young thief snapped out of his thoughts, looking at Silver Bde before realizing what was going on. But it was already too te as fmes seared his body.

  When the fire disappeared, Silent Acacia’s corpse could be found lying on the ground.

  Meanwhile, the head priest recovered from his skill, ready to attack again. With Radiant Shield dead, Silver Bde k was her turn to tank.

  [-220!]

  [-200!]

  The young woman found a rge amount of her HP gone in an instant. A few more attaded on Fuyarhin, shoving off another 100HP.

  Silver Bde sighed as she ied the priest.

  “This might be it…”

  Silver Bde was unwilling as the priest’s staff came again. Her HP emptied out, leaving her dead on the ground.

  The party struggled for a while more. Liam took the role of a tank, surviving for a bit with Balm’s heals.

  But it wasn’t enough.

  Soon, Balm was the only o while Fuyarhin still had more than 200HP. She could only smile wryly as the priest’s staff ended her life.

  When Balm opened her eyes again, she was met with the party discussing animatedly.

  “We almost got it!”

  “Yeah, a few better dodges and that priest will be finished.”

  “My rades, let us put this accursed priest to rest.”

  “My bde is ready to cut those wings off!”

  Cye gripped her wand tightly.

  “I want my revenge!”
