‘Maintain distance and make long-range attacks. Lily, don’t jump in the fight yet and observe the boss’s movements first.’
They were 30 meters away from the boss, but he roared and made a long leap, both of his swords flaring with dark blue energy painted with an inky aura.
Almond’s eyes glinted. ‘Divine Divider’s Harvest.’
Instantly, the Boss’s Strength was reduced by…not half, but 35%.
‘It resisted…’
*Clang!*
Almond’s Super-rank heavy swords clashed against Kizalor’s swords.
“Roar!” Kizalor’s knee, bursting with his signature dark blue-black ink energy, immediately aimed for Almond after their clash.
Almond’s eyes sparkled with thrill as he flew like a torrental wind, easily dodging the attack while using Sword Bending Motion, striking Kizalor thrice with his full power.
His foundational strength: 100 + 200 from Boss + 100 of Body Enfold + 100 of Strength boost + 150 additional Strength at the cost of 20% of his Stamina by empowering his arms and chest = It was an attack of 650 Strength!
*BOOM!*
-9% Vitality.
Kizalor shot back like a loose cannonball, striking the hall’s wall 200 meters away, marking him with Plasma Reactron’s one stack, and permanently shaving away 3% of his max vitality, making it unrecoverable due to the effect of the sword giving it destructive-type debuff.
‘He blocked it,’ Almond blinked as he flew up while commanding his summons to attack Kizalor. ‘His perception and focus are high, he read…my attack and was prepared to block the moment I dodged.’
Lily, Natalia, Maya, and Marcus were far away, so they made a dash and neared while preparing to aim their attacks once an opportunity arrived.
“Don’t be careless here, everyone! This boss is dangerous!”
*Swoosh!*
Sending this Magic Whisper to everyone, Almond’s figure streaked as he moved like a blur, crackling with lightning as he met Kizalor mid-air he also jumped and streaked fast in the air.

*Clash! Clang!*
Grimlight Thunderstone Blessing!—All attacks are boosted by 50% of their original output with Lightning, Light, and Earth-attributed hybrid damage. Cost: 1% Mana per second.
“Fuck, I can’t fight in close range, it’s impossible,” Marcus took out a bow and a quiver filled with arrows from his storage pouch. “I can’t even see their movements properly…”
“This shit ain’t for us,” Natalia swallowed. “Almond triggered this heroic challenge because he is a freaking monster.”
Lily also took out her bow as she knew that going in there to fight between Almond and Kizalor would instead decrease their chance of winning.
Almond won another bout after several clashes of the sword, sending Kizalor to the ground as a small crater formed.
But immediately rebounding, Kizalor suddenly flowed like a raging water filled with an inky aura towards Lily and others!
Almond’s pupil drastically shrank, his entire figure vibrating as he empowered his wings and zoomed.
(Toggle) Celestial Grimflight: Grants flight with unparalleled maneuverability. Stores kinetic energy instead of transferring outward automatically into the wings to boost the next physical move’s power. Cost: 1% Mana per second.
And with 120 meters of distance between him and Lily’s group where Kizalor was going, Almond activated his wing’s effect—Chaotic Tempest Dive!
In that instant, a loud sonic boom like no other blasted. Amlond’s body already absorbed a powerful shock from his full-powered three slashes at his current strength of 650, which his body wasn’t supposed to handle, but with his Stage 2 Fortification and Body Enfold, he prevented damage.
But…he wasn’t about to come out unscathed after this Chaotic Tempest Dive—Dive at high velocity toward a target, dealing [500% to ???% of user’s Strength based on total dive distance and speed + Destructive-type damage according to Mana consumed] on impact.
*BOOOOM!*
-57% vitality.
“ARRRGHHH!” Kizalor roared as his body parts blasted away, his vitality dropping below 50%!
[Your vitality is dangerously low.]
‘Fuck, I expected it, but this hits crazily.’
Spirit Syringe!
Almond’s vitality and Mana filled to the brim!
He had roughly calculated intuitively based on the shock he received from those three slashes and limited his flight speed to prevent himself from dying as a result of this attack.
Meanwhile, Lily and others were blasted away due to the shockwave impact of the Chaotic Tempest Dive.
But they quickly got up and started hurling their attacks at Kizalor, who was entering phase 2.
Almond was fully recovered, but his mind was fucked due to that attack as it was still ins rattling shock, requiring him to concentrate briefly.
“I am seriously scared to death,” Natalia’s hair stood on end as she hurled empowered basic attacks from her flute.
She also finally buffed Almond, as he was within range now.
Maya also buffed Almond as she had a buff-type skill from her primary class.
Lily, on the other hand, was in preparation. Darkness and crimson energy whirled around as her vitality reduced drastically. She was preparing to use her 3rd specialized class skill—Voidless Sunderer, a pure single attack type.
Almond recovered after three seconds and saw Kizalor rearranging and becoming smaller, along with his swords, fiery blue and inky black aura wildly flowing around him.
But Almond’s expression became more somber despite Kizalor’s size reduction. A small humanoid was far more dangerous than a giant beast. Moreover, this Heroic Spirit-type Floor Boss was even fighting in a high martial realm.
In the second bout, it took Almond 5 seconds of multiple clashes before landing a sword attack on him. Kizalore was able to react and meet both of his swords head-on for five seconds and, negating his attacks!
Almond’s eyes glinted as a grin uncontrollably stretched across his face. ‘He is more proficient in dual-wielding than me…isn’t that wonderful?!’
Kizalor roared as both of his swords floated in front of him while the long-range attacks of Natalia, Marcus, and Maya were blocked by the aura barrier releasing from his sword.
‘Attack him!’
Almond’s spirit wraith, each one unleashed their full-powered attacks, blocking Kizalor’s recovery as much as possible. Kizalor’s maximum vitality was ‘destroyed’ by 26% total with that dive attack, so it could at most recover 74% of its vitality, but the spirit wraiths’ full-powered attacks prevented it from reaching that, stopping Kizalor at 63% of his max health.
‘Get inside,’ Almond sent all of his summons inside. They were exhausted, and he didn’t have Mana in spare for them. He also needed Spirit Syringes for himself, as this fight wasn’t as easy as he initially assumed despite his advantages.
Kizalor made his move, clapping both of his hands as 100 meters wide and giant magic water waves with ink-black sharks flooded towards Almond, Lily, and others who were in one direction.
Marcus and Maya showed visible panic as they quickly used their defensive skills. Natalia also freaked out. This attack generated suffocation of death within them.
But Lily was unwavering, her focus solely on preparing her attack. Her eyes reflected Almond and her trust in him because she knew none of their defensive skills, aside from Almond’s, could save them from this incoming devastating AOE attack.
‘It’s a pure magic attack.’ Almond’s figure blurred as he arrived in front of the group, using multiple item effects.
It was time to take a defensive stand.
