If a berserker has bloodlust as their job skill, then a monk has Steel Skin as theirs. A monk's job skill is to temper their bodies to be as strong as steel. While an advanced monk as the boss, has a skill called Shield Break, Shield Break is a skill where a monk will gather their mana at their fist to further strengthen the user's hand and boost their strength.
When the attack hits the target, the mana from the fist will explode at the moment of impact and scatter into the target. If it hits a shield then the shield will break from the pressure of overloading mana into its structure, while hitting another person's body will surely explode the whole area near the point of impact if the person can't handle the overload of mana. But this move can't be used carelessly because it also gives a lot of burden to the user's body from gathering huge amounts of mana into a single point in their bodies.
And right now the boss is planning to use this move to create the opening he needed to get the kid with fusion magic injured or even deal a critical blow, but the main reason for doing that is so he will be able to get him away from constantly following and blocking his movement. The moment the fusion kid is off guard from his attack, he will immediately strike the conjurer kid.
After trading some punches and kicks with Angra, the boss distanced himself from Angra before he got into a bow stance with his left hand's palm facing Angra's direction while the right hand balled into a fist at his hip, mana starts to gather around his body, particularly at his right fist. His right fist begins to fill up with mana and the muscles on his right hand inflated a little. After he finishes his preparation for using the Shield Break skill, he dashed forward towards Angra this time with his right fist winded up from behind and ready to be thrown at the last moment to maximize the power of the punch.
Angra is actually curious about what the man intends to do by backing up and doing the peculiar stance and by observing him for a while, gives Angra the answer he wanted. Angra being talented in controlling mana to integrate it into his body since he was very little, makes him also has quite a high level in his mana sense. Although not as high as Faust, it did not take Faust's level of sensitivity to notice that currently there's a huge amount of mana gathering at the man in front of him, especially at the man's right fist.
'Gra, be careful with that man's next attack, especially his right fist'
'Yes I also got it, can you see if it has any attributes?'
'Yes, it seems that it is only attributeless mana and some random element, no one particular element, in particular, I think he only intends to boost his strength with that massive amount of mana gathered, you don't need to worry about any elemental damage.'
'Btw Gra, I think I have found a solution just in case because that amount of mana exploding will be dangerous even for you.'
'I know, I also came up with something, but I don't really want to use it though?'
'I know that it feels like cheating when you are using that, but it's better for us to be safe than sorry.'
'I'll just decide when the attack comes, thanks for the heads up, Faust.'
Angra then also prepared himself for the upcoming attack, further adding more earth attribute mana to his fusion magic and condensing some of the mana into his hands, doubling the toughness of his defense.
When the boss launched himself towards Angra, the boss aimed his punch at Angra's chest and Angra responded by crossing his hands at his chest to block the punch with both of his hands.
When the boss' fist collided with Angra's hand, what happened was Angra's body got thrown off the ground and flung towards the dirt wall of the basement, with his body slightly caved into the wall.
'That attack at least should be able to break his bones if not completely destroy his hands, he should have dodged that attack, not blocking it. Fortunately, he is arrogant by underestimating and decides to deal with it directly head-on.' The boss thought to himself.
Seeing that the fusion kid is now incapacitated and stuck to the wall, he immediately turns to sprint towards the conjurer's kid and the mayor's daughter's direction which is blocking the basement's only exit door.
Faust already expected this move from the boss, but Eleora hasn't. Faust readied himself to dodge the boss' attack, but then he noticed that Eleora is currently standing still dumbstruck that the person who she thought was very strong is thrown off into the wall, and now the person responsible for doing that is currently running straight at her. She didn't know what she should do, with her current strength, anything that she does will be too late and she will surely die from the attack. And she began to think that she should have heard the two masked kid's advice and not come along with them. But it is too late to regret it now, and she just stood there waiting for her fate.
"WATCH OUT EL!"
When she heard the scream, she felt her body was pulled away from where she is currently standing and she crashed into something quite soft. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she didn't crash into the dirt wall or the wooden foundation in the basement, but instead she crashed onto Faust who is currently below her, cushioning her fall.
Before she was able to say sorry or thank you to Faust, Faust yelled,
"NO YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" before suddenly a solid wall made of fire blocked the only way out of the basement thus making the boss' plan to escape fail.
'How the hell? Isn't he an earth mage? How is he able to conjure high level fire magic?' The boss is shocked to see that the person in front of him is fluent in using two elements, but he remembered that to deal with the fire wall, he only needs to defeat the conjurer.
The boss dashed straight to where Faust was currently lying on the ground below Eleora, now that Faust is in a vulnerable state, he decided to quickly take advantage of the situation and deal a fatal blow to Faust.
But when he's mid-dash he is suddenly caught up and thrown off to the other side of the room. He looked at the person who had just thrown him. He blinked several times to check if he saw anything wrong, but even after blinking and shaking his head, his eyes still saw the other masked kid that was supposed to have his hands destroyed.
"HOW?!?"
---
When the shield break skill hit Angra's hands, he felt that he was run over by a speeding car. Thanks to his earth fusion, he was able to prevent any of his bones from breaking, but the main problem that kept him away from recovering straight after being hit and instead got his body caved into the wall is because of the overflow of mana that got into him from the shield break skill.
The massive amount of mana that is rampaging in his hands is like being pierced by thousands of needles and he feels like his hands want to burst out.
'I guess I don't have a choice, this attack is really dangerous if not dealt with properly.'
Angra closed his eyes then spread the overflow of mana from his hands to his body as much as possible to balance out the pressure from his hands, and on top of that, he changed his earth fusion to death fusion, causing all the other attributes that aren't death attributed consumed by it.
Soon after, all the massive amount of mana that was rampaging in his body was all consumed by the death mana, and the pain he felt in his hands was all gone.
He opened his eyes and saw that Faust is currently on the ground with Eleora on top of him and..
'Why is she on top of him?!?'
He wanted to ask Faust telepathically, but seeing that now there's a fire wall blocking the exit, and the kidnappers' boss is standing not far from Faust, he knew that it is something urgent, and it turns out to be true, the boss launched himself to attack both Eleora and Faust below her.
Angra then used wind fusion to quickly go over to cancel the charge and judo-throw the boss across the other room.
'Faust, you alright?'
'Yup all good, I wanted to finish him off just now. He is starting to annoy me.'
'Wait, I want to do it, but can you please make an earth wall covered in death mana to surround us? To make sure that he didn't try anything funny?'
'Hoo, like an arena then?'
'Yes'
'One death arena coming up!'
