Sponsored Content

Level: 90

Type: sorcerer

Work under: Lich Cult

Special: Tsukuyomi's Dream . [This mental spell will cause sleep and nightmare . Does severe damage . ]

Weakness: none .

Resistances: earth, water, ice .

Secret: He once snuck into a wasp hive and was raped for six hours straight . He only escaped due to a honey bee rival attack .

[Your party has entered a boss fight!]

Julius darted forward, meeting Clyde with martial arts similar to his own . Did he learn from the same dojo? Well, the young man had no intention of being easily bested . An arrow from Clare almost hit Seth's brother, but at the last second, the man jumped backward .

[Clare activated Sand Shot of Breath . ]

The next arrow she fired doubled its speed, fire and aura surrounding it . And it struck, dead center . When Julius simply pulled the arrow out of him without a visible wound, they all knew of the barrier . To Clyde, his extra HP gave that away .

[Julius's HP has dropped to 215%]

Julius chuckled .

"Watch . "

[Julius activated Tier 1 skill: Mind Pain . ]

Clare dropped to her knees, hand on head, screaming . Clyde, refusing to allow this lurch forward, but Seth beat him to the punch .

[Seth activated Interruption . ]

Julius's attack seemed to stop because Clare fell to the ground, panting .

[Clare's HP has dropped to 60%]

Toru's kick from behind knocked Julius forward .

[Toru activated Raining Blast!]

The grey and pink energy bursts spiraled Seth's brother even further ahead, but somehow the man landed on his feet, dusting himself off .

[Julius's HP has dropped to 190%]

He aimed a hand at Toru, smiling wickedly .

[Julius activated Night beam . ]

None of them could so much as see the attack until the last second, but Toru had already moved from his spot the moment he saw the aimed hand .

"Four on one," Julius said . "A good reason to go all out . "

[Julius activat—]

[You activated Stored skill: Slip distraction . ]

[You activated Spiritual Fire . ]

With a hand aimed at Julius, Clyde unleashed one of the spells he rarely used . Blue fire beamed at Julius, covering him with deadly brilliance .

[Julius's HP has dropped to 175%]

Julius snarled .

"Enough! I will not be made a fool of . "

His eyes glowed pink, but before the party could do anything, it was too late . Everyone dropped but Clyde, due to high mental resistance . He still took damage from the attack—the searing pain made the young man fall to a knee, panting, sweating .

[Julius used Tier 1 skill: Tsukuyomi's Dream . ]

[Your HP has dropped to 70% You are stunned . ]

[Seth's HP has dropped to 40% . Seth has been inflicted with Sleep and Nightmare . ]

[Toru's HP has dropped to 60% . Toru has been inflicted with Sleep and Nightmare . ]

[Clare's HP has dropped to 4% . Clare has been inflicted with Sleep and Nightmare . ]

He looked around, noticing that Sazuki and Kiko, who stood yards back were also out cold . Their protector, Nina suffered the same fate . Julius laughed .

"Annoying cooldown, but we both know this is over," Julius said then walked toward the young . "I'm not sure how you're not out like the others . Had you not absorbed the Omen's sphere, I would've considered letting you go, but you're obviously some kind of monster . As an adventurer, slaying you to see what goods I'll get, well, it's obvious . "

As soon as he was close enough, Clyde made his move .

[You invoked Mystic wrath!]

[You activated Mystic lightning . ]

Julius clearly didn't expect it—the confident smile on his face melted into twisted agony as he dropped to a knee, howling .

[Julius's HP has dropped to 90%]

The man suddenly roared with laughter, leaping up, avoiding Clyde's roundhouse kick .

"You may want to worry about your friends . That nightmare…well, let's just say it's quite the killer . " He looked at the moon . "d.a.m.n I'm late . "

Clyde aimed again, preparing to finish the fight, but Julius activated a skill that surprised him .

[Julius activated Jump . ]

His last words were, "I'll deal with you later . "

[Julius has fled . This battle ended . ]

Clyde spat to the side as he rushed to shake his friends awake . He started with Clare, giving her no chance to be reluctant about the healing potion . The rule was always heal first, talk later . And speaking of healing—they needed to get to either Alice or Harumi . Maybe Yuki or Tear . He only had one potion left, which he'd like to keep for himself .

"Julius got away," Clyde said after everyone was awake . "Apparently he can jump . "

"He can?" Seth said . "f.u.c.k, I wish I could . "

"Yeah . Anyway, we need to find one of our healers," Clyde said . "After making sure everyone's good to go, we're getting the f.u.c.k out of here . I don't know about you guys, but I've had enough of the festival for today . "

"Kind of blows," Seth said . "I wanted to get a picture of everyone in their yukatas, smiling . "

Clyde shrugged .

"We look like road kill . Imagine what the women think . And how much it's going to hurt when they punch you . "

Seth chuckled .

"Sometimes a man has to take a risk . But I do agree with you, leader . We need a healer, or I'll pa.s.s out from these d.a.m.ned aches . "

"Also heads up, the next time we see Julius, don't look into his eyes," Clyde said . "If it weren't for my resistances, we'd probably be dead . "

As the party took off at a guarded pace, Clyde used this opportunity to do a full stat check, as well as the changes the Omen's sphere did .

[The Omen's sphere has increased the levels of your mystic combat and BCFUS by 1 . You've learned the Special ability: Astral Projection level 1 . You will need 10 Omen's spheres to gain the next bonus . ]
