𝕮𝖍𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝟑5: A C-rank quest
How did this happen? Didn't they say the boss was in the other tunnel?
Well it wasn't.....
The boss was right there in the chambers glaring down at them.
It was towering, and nestled to a fairly built golden throne. If it was to stand it was sure to reach the base of the ceiling.
'That throne would surely be worth some money if I sell it.....,'
"Kieeekkk!" Mizumi screamed again grabbing Hex by the arm and letting out momentary shrieks as she buried her head deep into his chest.
Hex only shook his head and plastered pity to his looks as his expression.
'Man, what a pitiful disgrace..... Should I kill her for experience points....'
This was usually where Phantom would jump in, to stop Hex. But unfortunately he wasn't around to do so.
This made a huge void in Hex's heart.
In all his past years, this was the first he lost contact with Phantom, so he was really left disarrayed by this.
'What is the Attributes of this boss.'
{Processing}
{Hello boss I'm back}
Hex gnashed his teeth, this was no time for introductory conversations.
'Shut up idiot and display the attributes of this huge bastard in front of us.....!'
{You don't have to be so harsh}
'Why shouldn't I? When you fucking left me! Next time you do that I will dump you in the recycling bin!'
{Phantom senses sympathy and fear from the host}
Hex started to grit his teeth in rage.
He wondered how the Phantom managed to keep at it. Opposing him frequently and making his life miserable.
{Analyzing the boss}
Name: Rock soul Titan
Level: 101
Race: Titan
Job: Killing and commanding the Orc fleet
Skills: larva breath, armour, strength, instinct, fear spread.
Status: Angry, and Hungry.
'Shit, it's just a level lower than Mizumi!'
Hex began to run through his mind all the possibilities of him winning against such a beast.
All he needed to do was....
"Everyone stay still, I will handle this." Sky stepped foward with a bold look across his face.
'What the heck is this bastard doing? Is he acting brave?'
Sky definitely wasn't strong enough to win this battle alone. Whereas stood in front like a badass.
What kind of idiot makes such a hideous mistake.
Hex rolled his eyes and let's out a yawn. 'Who am I to say no to the person in charge.'
When he gets beaten and broken, he will come to beg me for help. Bloody arrogant fool.
Sky scanned through the physique of this towering beast and swallowed hard on his saliva.
His ability was double attack. He was cursed slayer level, this shouldn't be too difficult for him.
Sky was never the type to fight alone. Definitely not up against a boss.
Doing it all alone seemed to have many loopholes against him. He was a team player, who played distract and take the opening, with all focus on him he was sure to get swatted like a bug.
After a short while of pondering, Sky finally began to trail foward cautiously, with his gaze fixed on the Titan.
'Why does it keep on staring?'
Another fact that made Sky gulp hard.
Whatever it was, the motive was Ill.
Yes, he needed to do it. He needed to.....
RAYAAAACCCCKKK!!!
The titan rose from it's throne opening it's mouth and letting out it's battle cry.
For some reason, Sky's body began to tremble violently, sweat pumping out of the pores of his skin.
Slippp! Clang!
His eyes dropped to his hands that got too sweaty and shaky to hold his sword. Yes, his grip had loosened to leave his sword to fall coldly to the ground.
The fear had automatically knocked his weapon out of his grasp.
{Skill in use}
{Fear spread in activation}
Hex furrowed his eyes. So that was what made the captain and Mizumi quiver so much.
Rock soul Titan used this skill for whoever stared it's eyes.
That was why it refused to attack before. To capture them all to it's make belief fear world.
'Why isn't it working on me.'
Hex wondered if he got any lucky or a bloodline that granted him access to escaping hypnosis. However the odds of that was low.
Unless the Phantom was the sole cause. It made the effect null on him.
Not to mention he wasn't the only one. Hannah was still.....
As Hex shifted his gaze, his high anticipation brows rested back into place as he caught her lying on her side and shrugging to the ground. So far she was the one this fear pandemic affected the most.
'Why wasn't I compatible with this powers, to make people tremble in fear before me. I would get free stuff and respect by making people fear me.'
Too bad the Phantom couldn't extract ability and skill.
BOOOOM! BOOOM!
The Rock Soul Titan began to take long strides towards the number one on roll. "Sky!"
Even as the intensity of the terror increased per step of this Titan, he still hadn't made his legs bulge to move anywhere.
BOOOOM!
"Gaaahhhhh!" With no option left untouched, Sky screamed out at the top of his lungs. Bursting into tears and falling to his knees.
'A strong telepathic nightmare from the boss?'
It was stronger than Hex anticipated. Luckily they had him.
That was if he still wanted to fight.
'I won't fight till that bastard begs me!!!
"Hex please help us...."
He heard Mizumi plead before finally breaking her embrace on his hand weakly.
She fell to her knees ducking her head and crying as drool fell out of her open maw.
This made Hex somewhat sad. He wasn't the type to feel this way, authentically to a stranger he didn't know.
If his sister was here she wouldn't want something like this to happen. Whereas still if he was the last and only survival, no one would believe.
{Phantom notification}
{Quest: C-rank}
{Kill the master Rock soul Titan}
{Time limit 29:58}
{If quest is not completed during time limit user will face penalty}
So without a choice he still needed to save them without fail. Mainly to get the rewards from the quest.
This was nothing I feel emotional about....
"Mizumi, can.... Can you hold the pain a little longer?"
Mizumi was too pressed by pain that all she could initiate was a shake of her head, and another violent shriek falling to her side and squirming even more.
The pain she withdtanded mentally was unimaginable.
BOOOOM!
The Rock Soul Titan arched a smile as it marched even closer to Sky, he was the first to surely be killed, stomped to a puddle.
The thought of it made Sky cry even more trying to move but apparently he could not.
The telepathy of the Rock Soul Titan was too much for him to handle.....
Shwoooom!
In the flash of everyone's eyes a light of purple ignited from afar. A hot burning beam flying and clashing with the rock hard face of the Rock soul Titan.
RAYAAAACCCCKKK!
The Rock Soul Titan vomited a scream staggering back as dark smoke exuded it's face. It grasped the sole of it's face nevertheless trembling in pain.
"That's the thing, no one messes with my companions." Hex started to march slowly towards the Rock soul Titan.
He reached Sky stopping by his side and examining him with his eyes. To check his current standings.
Luckily, the pressure they felt by the Titan had reduced. But the toll still plagued them as the could barely breath without shuddering significantly.
Hex shifted his gaze to the pissed off Rock soul Titan.
Now you have done it..... I'm pissed.
