The group of 5 entered the boss room. The boss room was located in an underground ice cave. To Rem, finding the boss room was easy for her since she could easily sense the boss's presence. The door to the boss room would not show up, have any presence, or open if all the monsters are not defeated yet.
"We've finally arrived at the boss... Don't you think it's kind of chilly in here..?" Karina asked, shivering slightly because of the cold.
"It's not that cold. Well, anyway... This boss room is huge!!!" Yukino said, amazed.
Yukio nodded, agreeing with everything Yukino said.
"Where's the boss?" Kaito looked around but he still couldn't seem to find the boss.
There was no boss in sight. All that was in the room were 8 ice pillars. The pillars surrounded the boss room.
"Stay alerted." Rem said, walking towards one of the ice pillars.
'This is definitely the boss room... Just where is the boss..? The boss has to be hidden here somewhere..!' Rem thought, looking at the ice pillar after getting closer, clearer view of it.
'These are...' Rem looked at what was written on the ice pillar.
The letters carved in the ice pillar has strong magic in them.
'What kind of language is this? Good thing I can read it thanks to my title...' Rem sighed as she read the letters carved on one of the ice pillars.
[Only special fires can melt away all the ice in this room.]
'Special fires..? What does that mean?' Rem wondered.
The others explored the boss room as Rem looked at all the other pillars.
[The key to finding the King is by searching for a special flame.]
'The King must be the boss. here it is, talking about some kind of fire or flame.' Rem walked to another ice pillar and read what was written on it.
[Ice and fire shall never meet.]
'Hm...' Rem continued reading what was written on all the pillars.
[Those who know will be granted power.]
'Okay..?'
[Voices be heard...]
'Do I have to say something in this language for the boss to show up?'
[All light will perish.]
'Light magic won't work... Maybe I can try using shadow magic on these pillars.'
[Beware of ice.]
'Is it implying that we shouldn't use ice magic?'
[The King lies here.]
'We all know that...' Rem sighed again.
{I thought you were a genius in your past life...}
'Maybe I lost my intelligence after getting reborn...' Rem walked to the others.
"Yukio, don't use your ice magic." Rem warned him.
Yukio nodded.
"Kaito, can you try using your fire magic on all these pillars?" Rem asked.
"Of course." Kaito applied fire magic to his dual blades and tried slashing the pillar.
His attack did not damage the pillar at all. It was left unscratched.
"Do you know any ranged fire attacks?" Rem faced Kaito.
"Unfortunately, no..." Kaito replied.
"I see." Rem wanted to hide the fact that she could use fire magic.
'I guess I won't be able to hide this anymore... Light doesn't work so if I combine both fire and shadow magic on the pillars, something should happen..! Let's see if my theory is correct.' Rem used her fire and shadow magic.
Karina, Kaito, and the twins were all shocked because it was rare for someone to have two elements.
"What-" Yukino stared at Rem in shock.
"I shouldn't be surprised but I still am..." Karina laughed softly.
Yukio and Kaito only stared at Rem, not saying anything. Rem's left hand has fire magic on it while her right hand has shadow magic on it. Rem carefully mixed both her fire and shadow elements. The fire and shadow elements slowly mixed, forming a black, dark flame.
{You Have Successfully Created A New Skill. Would You Like To Name This Skill?}
[Yes/No]
'Oh, a new skill... I don't have the brains to think of a creative, cool name for this new skill. Whatever, I'll just let the system choose a good name for this. It better be a cool name..!' Rem thought.
{Would You Like To Name This Skill, Dark Flames?}
[Yes/No]
'What was I expecting..? Oh well...' Rem shook her head in disappointment.
{Name Successfully Created!}
'Now I just have to attack all these pillars using this new skill of mine!' Rem launched the dark flames at every pillar.
As the dark flames touched the ice pillars, the ice pillars began to melt. The ground shook.
"W-what is this???" Karina tried her best to stay calm.
The ground cracked and the group of 5 fell in an enormous, strange, dark hole.
'After all the pillars melted... I never expected this to happen..!' Rem thought, using her martial arts.
'Wow... I can literally walk in the air without using any magic! This martial arts sure is useful..!' Rem used her shadow magic to catch all the others, who were falling.
Rem then brought her group members down.
"T-that was scary... I couldn't even scream!!!" Yukino stated, terrified.
"I should really learn how to use flying magic! I'm going to learn how to do that as soon as I get back!!!" Karina shivered.
"No surprise... I'm not even going to ask." Kaito shrugged.
'Her movements are so similar to that weird shadow I saw a few days ago... Could it be..?' Kaito wondered.
'The map wasn't wrong after all..! The boss room was down here all along.' Rem looked around her surroundings.
'How stinky.' Rem thought, ignoring what she saw.
Kaito used her fire magic to light up the place. It was dark so nobody was able to see. Rem has night vision due to her being a monster so she was able to see perfectly fine.
"AHHH!!!" Yukino screamed.
Kaito just stood there, covering his nose.
"No wonder it was so smelly!!!" Karina yelled.
"Why are there so many bones here???" Yukino asked, covering her mouth.
Yukio patted his sister's back.
'I'm pretty sure I've seen many dead bodies in my past life before. Maybe that's why I'm unfazed. I'm probably just used to it...' Rem walked towards a large door.
The room the 5 ended up in was the same size as the room they were in before. Instead, when they looked up, all they could see was a small light. In this room, there are hundreds of thousands of skulls and millions of bones. Instead of ice, magic stoned walls surrounded them. There were no pillars. Other than the skulls and bones, there was only a huge door.
'This must be the main boss room.' Rem thought, opening the door.
"Everyone, get ready to fight!" Rem said, entering the main boss room.
