Chapter 11 - Setting The Foundation (2)

At once Mary felt her mana drain out at rapid pace as a small storm began to while around the room. The winds were tinged an eerie purple with a hint of gold as Mary felt strange energy other than her mana pour into the room. Snapping back from her surprise at the even mary concentrated on what she wanted from her boss.

The Custodian and the scribes were essential mage types so Mary felt like she had enough of them for now and while the Servants would make decent fighters given their layout that wasn't what she wanted either. Even though she could go far more in-depth with her choices Mary didn't know how long she had to influence the boss so she decided to keep it simple as she focused on a rogue type of layout.

At the same time considering the layout and template of her dungeon and that fact that this boss would essentially serve as the face of her dungeon she wanted a boss that was charming, yet had a stern demeanor as it would serve as the leader of the staff. Once Mary felt like she had decided on what kind of boss she wanted she felt as if the very ideas in her mind where pulled out and sucked into the storm in front of her. With a blinding flash of purple and gold Mary's boss was formed as it stood before her and Neira.

"Greeting and salutations, Mistresses. I thank you for my creation and am so happy to be of service to you on this day in whatever way I can." A soft silky yet commanding voice that would have sent shivers down Mary's spine and put a blush on her cheeks if she still had a body sounded out.

Standing in front of her and Mary was a tanned woman in her mid thirties it seemed. She had vivid wine red hair and piercing grey eyes. He face had a mature charm with a dash of seriousness, her body exuded the full sensuality of a woman in her prime and then some as her curves threatened to split her clothes at their seams. She wore the male servant uniform but it was embellished with golden accents. Adorning her face was a purple monical made of some kind of crystal with a white chain connecting to her lapel.

Embodiment of a Dream: While most other servants merely possess an illusion of beauty, the Grand Stewardess chooses to take it to a higher level as their very physical form shifts to the likeness of the illusion. Drastically increases the charm of the Stewardess and difficulty of being seen through. During combat the Grand Stewardess can also use this ability to preform minor feats of shapeshifting.

Greater Competence: Fitting for the leader of the Elder Servants, the Grand Stewardess receives a comprehensive upgrade to all capabilities.

Concierge Bell: Every so often the Grand Stewardess will summon and ring a bell that will temporarily create new Elder Servants to join the fight. Any servants still alive since the bell was last run will receive a stackable buff increasing all attributes.

Experts Eyes: Granted Knowledge by those who have lived for Eons the Grand Stewardess possess eye which reflect such knowledge. She is able to easily spot weaknesses in opponents and even in spells.

Servants Presence: Any true servant knows that they should never intrude on their masters, only appearing when called for as if appearing from thin air. The Grand Stewardess has not only mastered this technique but trained it till it is nearly an art. Able to blend her presence into the very space around her she is nearly undetectable until she strikes.

 

Lead Servant: While the Stewardess is alive her very presences acts as a boon to other servants under her command enabling them to preform far more intelligently and efficiently then normal. 

Checkout Time: The Stewardess will pull out her pocket watch to check the time every 5 minutes since the start of the fight or since last cast of the ability. Once 15 minutes have passed she will channel mana into her bell and it will ring 3 time. After that a portal shall open up behind her to the abyssal depths as a torrent of water with enough force to crush a block of metal will pour out to crush and drown enemies. If opponents are also registered as guests during the fight and found to be late to checkout, force of the flood with triple. *Only the party(s) fighting the Stewardess will be affected by the attack.

*Note: Finales are special abilities that only bosses may possess, they are a bosses greatest technique and may only be preformed no more than twice during a fight as they hold far greater power than normal abilities.

While she might not have seemed strong then the custodian as most of her abilities were passive or supportive, Mary was quite please as she was far more versatile and adaptive compared to the Custodian. Though she did wonder about a few thing in the status such as the blank part in the name, right then Neira chimed in.

"Not bad for your first boss, now all that's left to do is to give her a name. That will mark her as a fully complete and unique being." Neira chirped as she flew around the new born boss checking her out from various angles, even getting a little handsy in a few places. Meanwhile the boss despite a light flush kept eye contact with Mary in expectation.

"I've never been the best at giving things name but I'll try my best. Hmmm,....... I've got it. Your name will be Artemia." Right as the name left her nonexistent lips Mary felt a ripple emerge from her core down below and flow into Artemia who flashed with color once more briefly.
