10/6 9:07 (Autumn, Day, Sud Midrar)
Luna for the third time entered the Undead Dungeon, her own and Amber's Aura flaring around the four of them in unison and crushing all the Undeads coming towards them, their Defenses already weakened thanks to the influence of the Unique Skill "Piercer" on their Aura.
"As expected, our lack of the "Coordination" Skill lowers the Potency of our combined Aura quite a bit from what it should be at." The Lunarian noted while concentrating on both of their Auras, taking on the mental burden of maintaining it on her own and leaving Amber free to help maximize the Damage being dealt by the Aura itself.
Damage comprised mostly out of the Status Effects "Burning", "Charmed" and "Bloodloss" activated by her Aura on all of the Undeads while their Mana and Vital Energy was Drained by both the Aura and the Innate Skill "Energy Siphon" itself throught the Aura.
Vital Energy and Mana that Amber was slowly merging together within her body while the living illusion functioned as a natural inspiration on how to handle and make Vital Mana even if she was not actually a good teacher for most of the populations, another flaw that went entirely unrecognized in her previous life as Scarlet.
Meanwhile this last one was carefully observing her own Vital Mana imbued within the dying Undeads before, using her Aura as a medium, she forcefully directed her own Vital Mana to feed said Energy causing it, and more specifically, the Status Alteration "Charmed" to burst violently, spiking in intensity.
She repeated the process again, Targetting not the "Charmed" Alteration but the "Burning" one and then finally the "Bloodloss" one, nodding to herself satisfied at her newest Skill.
Some may wonder at the effect of the Status "Bloodloss" on a bunch of Undeads but while they were Immune to that Alteration, that merely meant that they would not recieve its Effects until it would activate and at that point they would immediately lose a lot of Vital Energy and Mana at once.
The Undeads finally died, their Magicules and Pseudo-Souls being condensed in a single sphere that she then devoured in a similar phenomenon to her creation of her Growth Skill by using as model one of Amber's Skills.
*Luna Gains the Ability Skill "Enhancement: Status Alteration" E.
*Luna's Innate Skill "Lunar Resistance" D Expands because of Growth Skill "Devouring Evolution" D.
She nodded, satisfied, the last remaining couple of Undeads within the First Floor dying fast as their Status Alterations instantly worsened thanks to her her newest Skill and its effects on her Aura, leading to their demise.
Only one thing remained on this Floor.
"So should I kill the Boss?" Luna asked her Sabel and Mafel.
"Don't worry about it, the two of us should be more than enough to handle it." The Human responded, her sword held securely into her hand while her newest Bracelet was Manifested around her right wrist, a golden Bracelet with a iridescent gem, even with no particular effect without an active Linked Unique Skill.
Mafel didn't bother to respond to either of her Mates, her own Unique Arma taking the place of her previous Staff, looking like it was made out of an ashen wood, the highest part separating out in sharp branches revealing an iridescent sphere at its center while the Staff ended in a spiraling tip, functioning as a spear in case of things needing to be stabbed.
She stepped forward, her Staff forming a brief circle, forming a Magic Circle while various Artefacts upon her body shone lightly, Vital Mana being Channeled within her newest Staff and subsequently within her incoming Spell.
Before the Undead Abomination could interfere in any way, the Human ran in and, sword and body both clad in Light, pierced one of its head to the hilt.
This on his own would not have been enough but the swordswoman was far from done.
The Light around her exploded violently in an instant, blindingly bright and scorching it violently before jumping back, ready for following attacks.
"[Curse of Fragility]." This cruel Spell was one she learned by observing the Liches of this very Floor and was Casted at much greater speed in comparison because she forgo the Resistance-Piercing Effect.
This would have theorically rendered the Spell useless against something like the Undead it was Casted on however her Innate Skill, "Holy Curse" C, took care of it.
Said Skill had very important effects for her style of combat and the situation in particular.
The first relevant effect was the balancing of her Curse- and Holy-Attributes with increases to own applying to both while the second, instead, was for Curse- and Holy-Attribute Spells to count as either of the two against Resistances, in this case all of Mafel's Curses will count against the Undead Abomination's terrible Holy Resistance.
It was no wonder then, that the Curse landed in full.
Sabel didn't hesitate, running back into the fold and unleashing a series of blows clad in violent Light that seared its undying body again and again while Mafel was Casting another Curse.
The Undead roared, bone spikes appearing all around her, but she ignored them after all this was not the first time the two had fought this specific Monster and as such their response was sure.
A wave of Light exploded from her body, deflecting most of them before she used her new Bracelet to deflect the remaining ones using its indestructibility, causing Luna to give a brief look to Amber, an eyebrow rising in challenge and causing this last one to blush in embarassment remembering back to her disadventures with her own Unique Arma.
The battle between the three continued, Light condensing around her blade before being released in a thrust.
A line of white that formed a hole around 40 cms wide within the Undead's body, giving herself enough time to ending the distance between the two and swinging again and again, a torrent of Light swings that cut it again and again while her Light violently rejected the Monster's Aura, burning Vital Energy and Mana constantly to fight at this level.
And meanwhile the Spectral Elf was not hesitating, Casting Blessing on the Human while Casting Curse after Curse, to slow it down, weaken it, disrupt its Control over Vital Energy and Mana and render it less and less combat capable.
It was no wonder then, that the battle for its first life ended without too much trouble even if it was a long one.
However the real problem would be its next life.
The First Floor Boss died.
It's "Undying Body" Skills activated, bringing it back to life, every single one of the Curses on it wiped away in an instant, the entirety of its Vital Energy and Mana was Restored while Sabel and Mafel's reserves were nearing depletion.
The Lunarian quickly checked her Mates' emotions, making sure that they knew what they were doing and finding them to be unconcerned enough with the situation for her not to intervene.
The tallest of the four moved forward, her Staff spinning once before she stabbed forward with the blade at its end taking advantage of its distraction caused by the presence of Luna and Amber and the fact it had memories of their previous battles and was confident that Sabel's Party together with Mafel was only able to kill it thanks to the addition of Hale's Holy-Attribute Spells and Jay's Critical Hits caused by the Skill "Sneak Attack".
"[Malevolent Resurgence]!"
This was not a power it was familiar with as this was a power granted by her Unique Arma that, obviously, it encountered for the first time.
All the Curses that the use of "Undying Body" rejected concentrated around the Elf's Staff, converting into Energy before being released.
The spiraling, sharp tip piercing its body released a shockwave within it that ruptured its body from the inside out, hastily burning most of its Vital Energy and Mana in an instant and leaving it open for a blade wrethed in Light that swung down violently, cutting it in two and ending it.
The two based their strategy on Luna's battle against it, using its first phase to build up enough power to kill his second one in an instant as otherwise they would be too exhausted to survive its attacks.
Sabel fell on her face, too exhausted to move anymore, and Mafel followed suit, causing the Human to cry for help as the Elf fell upon her.
"Help me, Luna! Amber!" The black-haired begged, her voice raising as her back was under the unconscious medium causing Luna to smile, entertained, as she stepped up to near the two, watching them.
The black-haired one smiled in relief at being saved only for her smile to freeze on her face.
Luna had lowered herself, posing her elbows on her knees while standing on the tip of her feet, an impish smile on her face, as she poked her still aware Mate on her cheeks again and again.
Amber facepalmed at feeling the Lunarian's enjoyment, joining her Mates before deciding to enjoy herself too, sitting down and posing the former Boss' head on her laps, petting her.
Once Luna satisfied her desire for entertainment she lowered herself, cut her tongue with her fangs before kissing her trapped Mate and using her own blood as a medium to fill her with enough Vital Mana to suppress her exhaustion and restarting her Recovery before doing the same with her other Mate.
Mafel slowly woke up from her unconsciousness, finding herself opening her eyes to her blonde Mate's thight before hearing her black-haired Mate cries for help to finding her being teased by their most dangerous Mate to her satisfation.
She closed her eyes again, posing her head back on her Mate's legs, relaxing back to the sound and feeling of her squirming Mate, deciding to fall back asleep.
Sabel squeaked at her abandonment at the hands of her Mate before rising her eyes to meet the cruelly shining eyes of her red-eyed Mate, a despairing breath escaping her under the amused gaze of Amber that decided to enjoy herself by playing with the taller of the four's hairs while waiting for the two to recover fully.
