The creature's body was covered by a completely black robe that swayed back and forth as if there was a invisible breeze. It was only about a foot and a half tall and slightly floated above the ground.
It's body was faceing them but as they looked to see its face. All they could see was a pitch black void. Although this discovery was a little startling it wasnt like they planed to talk with it anyways.
Kaiya and LIyr moved in to taunt the floor boss that was just floating there and as soon as Kaiya's taunt landed a loud bang could be heard. Kaiya's body went flying back and off her feet only to be caught by Rachel after being sent to the back of the group.
Kaiya and Rachel didnt even have a second to react as another load bang resounded in the hallway sending them both a few meeters. Thankfully with the help of Rachel holding onto Kaiya they only skided on the floor instead of being sent flying like the first attack.
The speed of this boss truly was something as even with Silvers Mystic dance, he didnt think he could keep up with it. However he didnt have to worry about keeping up as he knew exactly where it would be in the next few seconds. After all the floor boss only had one target in mind.
Moveing with everything he had, Silver prepared his blade in his right hand to slash while with his left he activated Mana strings to try and bind the floor boss. He just needed to give the others some time to catch up and that is what he planed to do.
Although not everyone could react the ones that could did. Liz sent what heals she could to both Kaiya and Rachel. Rianna also sent out her Mana Strings in anticipation of where The floor boss would appear next and Blair moved with a skill that let her be almost as fast as Silver and appeared close to where Silver was only a second after he appeared.
Luck must of been on their side as when everyone had managed to get into place and was prepared the floor boss struck again. Both Silver and Blair moved without giveing it a second thought and sliced into the floor boss like cutting tofu and only a second after the blades past through the robe, two sets of mana strings entangled the boss and caused the robe to shrink right in front of their eyes.
The foot and a half boss covered in a completely black robe shrunk into a creature that didnt even reach a foot in hight. Silver and Riannas Mana was draining like crazy so it was clear the boss was trying to get out but now that it was immobile, two snow kittens pounced onto the little figure that was still floating slightly off the ground and sunk their teeth into it.
Slowly as its body started to be encased in ice, Silver started to feel drained as his mana was at 40 already and would be gone in seconds. Not even thinking he droped his blade and retreaved a mana potion before gulping it down. However even that only lasted a few seconds. Thankfully in that small amount of time the snow kittens managed to completely turn the figure into a frosted figure and giveing it the frozen debuff.
Not even glancing at the figure Silver bursted into a storm of leaves and reapeared in front of Emy before draging her over to the floor boss. At this point he didnt care if she wanted this floor boss as a summon or not because the way it sucked his mana was enough to tell they wouldnt be able to deal with it if it managed to get out of being frozen. Not to mention the wounds that Silver and Blair made with their blades had already closed.
Emy didnt resist and even moved with haste to the floor boss as her Snow kittens or rather her summon the Winter fairy told her she cant hold the boss for long.
Moveing infront of the floor boss and useing all her Mana to creat the strongest Contract she could, Emy Summoned a magic circle under the floor boss and prayed it would work.
5 seconds... 10 seconds... 30 seconds... 1 minutes...
Time went by as the magic circle rotated under the floor boss until it finaly faded away. Prepareing for the worst Silver pulled Emy behind him and picked up his blade to be used to defend a attack but in the end, it wasnt needed as Emy spoke into his ear in a sweet voice. "It worked."
Hearing Emy, Silver finally relaxed and felt his knees buckle before he fell to the ground from useing all his Mana in such a short span of time. He truely was exhausted and before he could fully fall over Emy steadied his body and helped him gently to the floor.
Looking in front of him, Silver could see the black cloak slowly disapate and before everyone's eyes they could see sitting there right in front of them, a small stuffed animal with black smoke eminating from all the seams in its body.
What once was a tearifying compleatly black hooded figure turned into something you wouldnd ever expect to see. This stuffed animal was less than a foot tall and looked like a small teady bear. The small marble eyes looked like pits of darkness and its sewn up mouth was frowning.
Upon seeing this small stuffed animal, Emy's eyes lit up and thought it was quite cute now that its ravenous figure from before was gone.
Either by fate or just stupid luck, Emy managed to get a summon that could be cute one minute and a purely terrifying being the next. It truely was a blessing that none of them ever expected.
"How are you two doing?" Silver asked looking over to Kaiya and Rachel who took the brunt of three hits from the floor boss.
"Fine compared to you and Rianna. What even happened to you two?" Kaiya said after looking at Rachel behind her only to see she was gone and was now over holding Rianna just like how Emy was sitting and holding him from behind.
"That thing sucked mana like a black hole when it was trying to get out of our mana strings. We are just exausted." Silver said after looking over to see Rianna in the same state that he was in.
"However i wont lie that this floor boss was definitely worth it." Silver said with soft eyes as he looked at the teady bear. He was sure Emy loved her new summon and that made him happy inside. He also could only imagine the carnage it was going to cause in the boss room. Just thinking about it was getting his blood pumping.
'I had a option to pick a summoner class. Maybe I can find a way to gain something similar in the future.' Silver thought while a feeling of regret washed over him. Summoner was his class in the last game he played and he loved it but his options when picking his classes only alowed him to summon demons and that wasnt what he wanted. So if he had to live his favorite class through Emy for now then that was also a option.

While Silver was lost in thought, he didnt know that his thoughts and actions were being watched.
A sweet and calming chuckle could be heard resounding in a small forest as a woman wairing a beautiful blue and silver dress watched a translucent pond in front of her that depicted Silver and his party.
"You sure are greedy, but I guess I can accept that." A sweet voice left the lips of this beautiful woman as she looked at Silver through the translucent water.
Her eyes moved from Silver and finaly settling on Emy.
"Estela's chosen, It lookes like you have chosen a good partner. Its just a shame that Silver is a little greedy."
The beautiful woman spoke as her eyes scaned over the group only to settle back on Silver.
As the beautiful woman continued to look at Silver a maiden clad in a dress made of a black fabric that had small sparkles that light up as she moved, walked up to the lake and sat next to her and stared at Emy with a loveing gaze. It was one that someone would use when looking at a little sister who they would do anything to protect.
"Estela, this girl you chose. What is she like?" The beautiful woman asked the maiden named Estela.
"She is a sweet and cairing child that truely loves that boy with Silver eyes. I can only assume he was your chosen one as well Byla.
However I thought you swore never to have a chosen one again so what happened?"
Byla let out a sweet laugh as she glanced at Silver through the translucent water.
"I didnt intend to but fate really works in mysterious ways, The blood of the pact runs through him and called out for help, I had to heed his call or he would of died for sure. Just like the others..." Byla statement left Estela to also look at the water and ponder on how fate realy has thrown Byla into the deep end with no way out.
As Estela gazed at the water her eyes drifted until they laned on Emy and stayed there to see what she would do next.

Silver Still looking at the small teddy bear in front of him watched as two snow kittens tryed to pull the bears arms in each direction.
"Emy, what are they doing?" Silver asked as he found it amusing but odd as they were now partners in a way.
"Flykra wanted to punish the teddy for hurting Kaiya and Rachel." Emy said also looking at the sceen playing out in front of them.
"I see... so does the teddy have a name or are you sticking with that." Silver asked.
"Its apparently a girl and based on how she talks, she is just a kid." Emy replyed with a sad voice as the teddy bear pleaded and asked for forgiveness and said she would be a good girl from now on.
"What do you think about Calista?" Emy asked Silver.
"Calista? Isn't that the name of that She bear that turned into a constellation?" Silver turned his head to see Emy.
"Maybe." Emy turned her head to hide her flushed cheeks.
"Why not." Silver replyed and looked back to see the two snow kittens finally getting done with their punishment.
"So whats the plan now leader." Ailia asked as she walked over.
Thinking for a minute and also takeing a look over to Rianna who had already got her bearings before telling his verdict.
"We will rest and let our mana return enough to fight the boss. Then we can set up a camp in the boss room to rest before continuing. Although i doubte the boss fight will last long." Silver finished talking as he gazed at Calista.
Ailia also gazed at Calista and thought the same. The next boss was strong because of its summons but Take a creature like Calista into account and it might be over before it even starts, she is just that fast.
