Lucas lunged at the boss monster, his eyes glowing brightly as his feet left the ground, his power surged into his blade.
[Dash Attack!]
[Damage +10%]
'I knew this blade was full of surprises!' Lucas thought as he fixed his purple eyes on the monster.
The boss monster fired beams of red lights out of crystal on it's head. Each one faster and stronger than the last.
Lucas's energy exploded, his sword was stabbed into the crystal. The red crystal dimmed for a few seconds, then, it grayed out.
[Inspect!]
[Boss Monster:
Powerful boss of the dungeon. High attack power, and very immense aptitude to dark magic.
If not killed instantly, it has a high chance of getting stronger than before.
Reward for killing rare enemy: Instant level up!]
Lucas pulled out Darksteel. He landed a good distance away from the monster. Calder ran to his side casually with a smile plastered across his face.
"Lucas. In order to defeat the boss and the other creatures we need to go all out." Calder advised.
Lucas nods slowly. He sent dark crescents at the boss monster, dealing great damage to the beast.
"Petrifying Dome!"
Suddenly, all the monsters in a thirty metres radius began to turn to stone, frozen in place.
Calder lifts his hands, a giant whirlwind formed above his head, spinning about with a great speed.
"Final Gasp! Death beam!" Calder swung his hands down, the whirlwind spun even faster than before. Lucas stood with the aid of his sword, the force from the spinning whirlwind had already thrown some monsters into the air.
The Whirlwind stopped, and from it, various beams of golden energy were tired at the petrified monsters.
[SP +10]
'Does this mean, that for every monster Calder kills, I get just ten SP?' Lucas thought in his head.
[SP +10]
[SP +10]
[SP +10]
Lucas send a dark crescent to a monster. Cutting it in halves, it's upper body separated from it's lower body in a clean slash.
[XP +10]
Lucas killed another monster, only this one was more powerful than the other.
[XP +10]
'So all the monsters here gives ten points, be it XP or SP.' Lucas mused.
Lucas kept on killing random monsters, his dark crescents were getting faster and faster, his energy got wilder and wilder.
[Di awakened!]
[Combat Rush!]
[Calder wants to rest...]
'NOOOOOO!!!' Lucas felt like pulling out his hair, his only ticket of overpowering his enemy was gone just like that?!
[All allies received Combat Rush!]

Lily felt something wake up within her. An urge to fight. She wanted to hit something, kill something...anything.
"Are you okay?" Vicki asked. She notice Lily's sudden change in expression and noticed right away that something is wrong.
"Yeah." Lily lied, nevertheless, she suppressed the feeling within her. It was incredibly strange for her though.
'Lucas, what the heck are you up to now.'
Lily placed the glass cup held in her hands to her lips, and took a sip. Closing her eyes, she savours the taste of the foreign drink.
"Hmm, not bad."
Vicki nodded as she drank her cup of wine alongside Lily. Her eyebrows twitched as she swallowed the drink in one gulp.
'How could she drink that so casually?' Vicki thought, staring at Lily for a good moment before shrugging off the thought.
"Well, I'll be off now." Lily shook hands with Vicki and turned to leave.
Vicki smile. She watched Lily walk out of the hall with the smile still on her face, her eyes glowed with anticipation.
"At least they are fun people here."

Lucas stared at the army of monster before him, sweat ran down his face as he looked up for the injured boss monster.
The feeling in his body urged him greatly, screaming at him to fight! Lucas looked at Darksteel, his fusion was coming to an end.
"Dash Attack!"
Lucas hacked at the incoming monsters, killing them in one strike, his brain went completely blank and all he could see was red.
The bodies of about ten monsters lay on the earth dead with numerous wounds inflicted upon their body.
Lucas rapidly sent dark crescents at all the monsters, his brain only telling him one thing...
Kill!
The bodies increased. Black blood smeared Lucas's face, his purple eyes flashed as he continued to bath in the death.
The boss monster had charged towards Lucas aiming to crush him with it's mighty feet. His speed increased as he got closer to Lucas.
[Combat Rush end!]
Before Lucas could recollect his thoughts, he was sent flying across the room. Lucas crashed into the earth.
[-10 Hp]
Lucas rose up from the crater dug by his rough landing. Wiping the blood off his lips, Lucas finally read all the new notifications.

Lucas closed all the notifications. He smirked as he finally unlocked some offensive skills.
He focused all his mana into his hands, and pictured a flame. He closed his eyes, the image repeating in his head.
When he opened his eyes, in his palm burned a flame. It was a big as a baby's head, and danced about on Lucas's palm.
He shot the fireball at the boss monster. A grin appeared on his face as he watched the fireball in action.
BOOM!
The monster let out a loud roar in pain as the fireball struck it. Burning it's fur to a crisp.
[Mp -2]
Lucas grinned broadly, his eyes showed a hint of bloodlust as he watched the power of the fireball.
"Time for blood."
