Chapter 55 - Eloise's Nightmare IV

~~~(POV: Lyatt Scott)~~~

~~~(Location: Inside the Dungeon Eloise's Nightmare on Duke Renold Ferzel's Estate, City of Cellera)~~~

~~~(Date February 14th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:00 PM)~~~

She's so fucking close to going into an exhausted state. I've drained her Mana by making her use attack after attack, and I've let my Mana completely regenerate. I have a full Mana pool for when she does enter exhaustion. "You're a Goddamn worm!! Always wiggling out of attacks!" She's grown frustrated, and it's taken me longer than I hoped to get her to this point.

She charges her magical fire and lightning and launches them towards me. I'm far enough apart from her to give me time to dodge. As the attacks pass me and hit the distorted wall behind me, Eloise's Torturer falls to one knee, and her monstrous form is heaving up and down from the effect of her permanent state.

Eloise's Torturer looks up at me in fear, and I'm already charging up Black Spears. Launching them at her and doing bonus damage now that she's exhausted and her defenses have entirely fallen. Each Black Spear does 5000 damage. Boosted by a multiple of five thanks to her weakened state. Dealing 15,000 damage in an instant.

[Eloise's Torturer has received massive amounts of damage in a short period of time!]

[Attacks against Eloise's Torturer are boosted by a multiple of 6 now!]

[Eloise's Torturer is temporarily Crippled due to the high damage without defense taken!]

As I read the system notification, I look towards Eloise's Torturer, and the freakish look of the boss is covered in black blood. The creature writhes as she tries to move, but it's Crippled, so it keeps falling. My Mana is regenerating, and it's doing so faster than hers. As I continue my approach, she does her best to crawl away.

The boss of an infamously brutal Dungeon is crawling away from me in fear and desperation. This class is fantastic... "Stay back!! Monster!" Her voice is twisted and sick, just like her body. As my Mana reaches enough for me to use Dread Wave, I grab her by the leg and stop her. She looks at me in horror as The Darkness shifts and leaks from me.

I use Dread Wave, and the attack envelopes her. Her screams are quickly drowned out by the crunching of her bones and the consumption of her body. Dread Wave stops, and The Darkness retreats back into me. Eloise's Torturer is gone and dead, and I've beaten the boss of Eloise's Nightmare. Speaking of Eloise, I look towards her, and the 9-year-old girl is sleeping.

As I make my way to Eloise, the system Notifies me that I've gained 2 Player Levels, and I've received 50 EXP towards Dread Wave, Dark Burst, Black Spear, and Black Sheild. Their Mana demands have gone up once again and so have their power. As I approach Eloise, I remember that I need a full Mana pool to use Curse Devour on her. So I stop mid-step and turn towards the gear that dropped.

My excitement grows as I see the gear that has been dropped and as I pick everything up. I automatically equip the gear. The entire seat is called Dark Torturers Armor. I look at the individual armor pieces, and the Epic grade gear set still blows me away at this level. My health and Mana pools have risen. This gear will hold me for a while.

It won't do much good when my Combat Skill upgrade. Their Mana demands will skyrocket, and I'll need to find replacements. My Mana pool is fully regenerated, and the new number of 9700 Mana makes me smile. My attention shifts to Eloise, and I stand in front of her unconscious body. I hold out my hand and use Curse Devour.

[Curse Devour has used all you Mana!]

An explosion of Darkness comes from all over my body, not just my hand. It goes in all directions, eating everything in its way. The entire thought projection is being consumed, and as it does. I'm transported out of the Dungeon. The subsequent notification I get completely stumps me... I've never heard of this happening...

[The Darkness has completely Devoured Eloise's Nightmare!]

[You've Destroyed Eloise's Nightmare, and it can no longer be challenged again!]

[New Information has been added to your Player Lore Tab!]

[Eloise is awake and free of her Curse!]

[Speak to Duke Renold Ferzel for your quest rewards!]
