1111 Words
While we were walking toward the Boss Room. I ask Mercy about her Level.
"Hey Mercy. What level are you now?"
"I'm level 28. That Golem really give me a lot of boost. I think I will level up to 29 after I kill one goblin. That's how close the EXP are."
She said. I see... That's good. Since if the Gate keeper is that, Then the Boss will be rewarding us with more EXP.
But then. My Sense immediately tingle. We're right in front of the boss room right now. I stop Mercy from going any further.
"Wait... I sense Trap."
I said. She immediately step back and readied her Rapier. I jumped beside her.
"Mercy. Can you use that spell again? The Fire Ball."
I said to her. She nodded. She raises her Rapier up.
"Great Flame King."
A really big fire ball rises on top of her Rapier. She look at me.
"So, What's going to happen?"
She asked. I look at the door and said.
"Bats are going to swarm us. It's not going to give me any EXP. So you kill it so that it can boost your EXP."
I said. She nodded. I use Phantom Flicker and kick the door open. For a slight second. I see the Manticore is looking down from a really high platform.
And as expected the Bats swarmed from the gate and it's going at a high speed like bullets.
"Phantom Flickers!"
I immediately jumped back toward Mercy. She immediately lower her Rapier and just burn all the Bats.
She leveled up to level 29. She looks really happy. We enter the last depth of the dungeon. Where the Manticore is Waiting.
"Eh?"
From the get go, It's already crazy. The Manticore appear right in front of us and the Tail already shooting at us at a really high speed.
It headed straight to Mercy. And without realizing it.
"Phantom Flicker!"
I teleported right in front of her and Take the Hit. The Tail pierced through my body. Dealing 80.000 Damage to me. Taking 80% of my health. And gives me poison for 30 seconds that eat 500 damage every second.
"OneSec! Thank you! I won't waste this chance!"
Mercy screamed. I grit my teeth. The Tail is still in my Stomach. Mercy just leaped up.
"Lethal Blows!"
I swing my Daggers on the base of the Scorpion Part. In one s***h, It cut off. Dealing 3.000 Damage to the 1.000.000 Health boss.
The Tail vanished and the Manticore immediately lunged forward to swallow me whole. Mercy is on top of the Manticore.
"Confined Flame."
She muttered. Suddenly. 108 Flaming Rapier appear and Stab the Body of the Manticore in Circular shape. Mercy jumped down when she noticed the Tail is regenerating and heading toward her.
And fortunately, Since she get the Aggro away from me. I manage to suck down 4 High HP Potion. With that. I use Phantom Flickers multiple time to get on top of the Manticore.
"You ain't hitting her when I'm around!"
I said. I immediately dashed forward and swing my Right Daggers on the base of the Tail. Cutting it off. Dealing 30.000 Damage to him.
"KRAAOOO!!!!"
The Manticore shake his body and throw both Mercy and I off. I use Phantom Flicker to immediately go to the front of the Manticore.
"KRAO!!!"
He open his mouth. I use Phantom Flicker again to go away from that mouth.
"Dark Thorn!"
I throw Black Kunai to the Manticore and kill his movement for the time being. I look at Mercy.
"Great Eruption."
Mercy immediately use the Confined Flame as a Catalyst for 108 Chained Explosion on the Manticore Body. I look at the Corner of my eyes and see that her MP is getting really low.
"Phantom Flicker."
I muttered again. I appear right in front of the Manticore who is on half health due to the Chained Explosion and Dark Thorn.
"Lethal Torture."
I summon 3 Massive Saw Blades again. The Manticore open his mouth and lunged at me with bloody torso.
"Let me increase that Blood."
I grinned and my Lethal Torture just shoot out inside his mouth at a high speed and spin at a high rate. Destroying the inside of the Manticore. Dealing a Massive amount of Critical Damage. 1.000.000 Damage for the Ten Seconds that Lethal Torture appear.

"If I get Job Scroll in my Chest. I will give it to you. If you didn't get one."
