Chapter 6 - First Real Fight

« My Lord, I'm not sure it will actually work. I mean I never learned to wield any energy and.... » Said Katarea but she stopped when she saw that Bora wasn't listening.

´ Okay so I just have to touch her and then let you do the rest?' Asked Bora.

´ Exactly, given that she is a Djinn she won't be able to use the energy, but I still can reinforce her body with it. Though I will have to get the energy back after some time. If she keeps it inside her body for too long it will absorb the energy and it will be a huge waste.´ Said Aria. Bora nodded and then put his hand on Katarea's shoulder. The Djinn was about to question his action but quickly shut her mouth when she saw a purple energy entering her body. And as soon as all the energy entered she bit her lip and veins popped on her forehead. Her body shook while Bora looked like he was really liking what was happening.

After a few minutes, Katarea let out a sigh of relief and then smiled.

« I'm good to go My Lord. I feel like I could beat a demon general right now. » Said Katarea, a bloodthirsty smile on her face. Bora smiled even though he had no idea of what a demon general was.

« Very well then, let's enter the last room. » Said Bora. Katarea entered the room first and Bora entered after bracing himself. A gasp escaped his lips when he saw the room. It looked like a battlefield. Various weapons were scattered on the ground. Countless skeletons could be seen across the room, though one of them wasn't really dead.

Indeed, sitting on a throne like a King was a Skeleton wearing full-plate armor and a crown of bones. He had in his hand a giant sword easily 3 meters tall, which didn't have a single scratch on it. He also had a golden necklace that shone in a strange red light. The skeleton was pretty massive, but what really stood out about him was the two blue flames that were in his eye sockets.

« Well, Boss confirmed. Atleast he wasn't hidden. » Joked Bora. He continued to scan the room while Katarea prepared for the fight. He could see an arrow stuck in the ground. A white arrow that really got Bora's attention. It looked like it could be useful since he now had a bow.

* Load Monster Scream*

Turning around, Bora saw that Katarea had approached the boss and that he had left his throne. Seeing this, Bora quickly hid behind a stone pillar and looked at the fight, which clearly wasn't starting good. Katarea could've shattered the armor if she wanted, but she Boss had some sort of magical shield that protected him. Sadly while Katarea was strong, without atleast a little bit of magic she couldn't possibly damage him.

Well ut would be the case if she didn't have the divine energy inside her. With that energy her body was strong enough to resist the sword of the skeleton. Both foes continued to strike each other even though they were just exhausting themselves.

Katarea suddenly realised that it would be a lot easier if the Boss didn't have his sword so she grabbed it with both her hands as he swung it around and broke it in two with her knee. The boss seemed confused for a second but he soon started to punch her as she did the same to him. And suddenly the fight turned into a duel between two martial artits. Katarea seemed to use a style that was close to street boxing as Bora heard it was called, while the Skeleton used a style similar to...Well just mindless punches and kicks.

However the fight didn't seem to go anywhere, and Katarea would become tired while the skeleton wouldn't which meant that Bora had to help her. Glancing at the white arrow stuck on the ground, Bora suddenly smirked and dashed for it. The boss saw him and ran towards him, but Katarea made him fall to the ground with a leg sweep aimed at his right leg.

The Boss got up and tried to kick Katarea in the stomach but she blocked it. Turning around, the Boss saw that Bora was already aiming at him with his bow, so he tried to dodge, however Katarea elbowed him in the face.

When Bora shot the arrow, his eyes widened at the sight of fire appearing around the arrow. The fire coated the arrow which made it explode as soon as it came into contact with the Boss. The explosion wasn't all that strong but it was enough to destroy the magic shield of the Boss. As soon as said shield disappeared Katarea rushed at the boss and threw a spin hook kick at him, which sent him flying across the room.

However the powerful Djinn wasn't done. She followed after him, and before he even crashed against the wall, she jumped over him and brought him down with a dangerously powerful punch. The Boss crashed on the ground, his skull and his crown destroyed. Katarea then chuckled and looked at Bora with a look that said « I did something amazing, you better praise me. ».

« Well it went better than I expected for a first real fight...Well done. » Said Bora. Even though he acted as if he was calm, he was certainly shook inside. The power of the arrow shocked him, but Katarea's speed and strengh shocked him even more. However he didn't have the time to think about that. He ran towards Katarea and quickly his hand on her shoulder. The same purple energy that entered her earlier shot out of her body and went back to Bora.

´ *Sigh* That was close. ' Said Aria. Bora nodded as Katarea suddenly dropped to the ground. Bora gasped before he quickly caught her into his arms.

« Aria what the hell is happening ?! Did she faint from exhaustion ? » Asked Bora while praying it was actually just what he said.

´ Yes it's exactly that. Don't worry she should be fine after a few hours of sleep. For now just loot the Boss he should've vanished.' Said Aria. Bora looked at where the Boss was and saw that he wasn't there anymore. He had vanished....Leaving his broken crown and his necklace behind.

« Well it really ended well for a first fight.....I'm really proud of myself. »

' Katarea did all the work. You just shot a random arrow at the Boss while he couldn't dodge.´

« Yup, really proud of myself~ »
