Chapter 24 - Battle for the boss

Klein stood before the lizard man (which name is zorvath by the way), his heart racing with anticipation. The air was heavy with tension as the two faced against each other. The lizard man looked at Klein with a smile that tells he his ready for the match, and he won't hold back for Klein.

"Even though you are our savior, I won't hold back, even though most of my powers are sealed, I am very sure I have enough to brutalize you, but first I request we fight with no power for some minutes. "Zorvath said.

"Well, I guess I can oblige to your wish, after all I have been wishing to pound your face ever since I saw you. "Klein said.

Zorvath just giggles after hearing what Klein said.

With a fierce battle cry, zorvath charged at Klein, his sword flashing in the dim light of the dungeon. Klein dodged the initial strike, but zorvath speed and agility allowed him to quickly recover and strike again. Klein parried the blow but zorvath strength sent him stumbling backward.

The fight raged on, the two combatant exchanging blows and neither gaining the upper hand. Klein use is blunt sword to sliced through the air, it strike true time and again, but zorvath scales deflected the impact of the blunt sword towards the ground. Zorvath retaliated with powerful strikes, sending Klein crashing into the trees and floor.

As the battle wore on, the dungeon grew quieter, the only sound the clash of steel on steel and the heavy breathing of the combatants. Klein muscle screams in agony, his body battered and bruised. Zorvath 's scale was dented and scratched, but he showed no sign of fatigue.

Even with all odds against him, Klein did not choose to use his power yet. In a desperate bid to gain the upper hand, Klein kept his sword in is space storage, and pull out his daggers, Klein unleashed a flurry of attacks, striking at zorvath eyes, and chest. Zorvath stumbles backward, but he refused to fall. With a mighty beastial roar, he launched himself at Klein pinning him to the floor.

The two enemies laid there, locked in a deadly embrace, their weapons entwined. Klein vision began to fade, but he summoned every ounce of strength to push zorvath off him. The lizard rolled off away gasping for breath.

Klein struggle to his feet, his body screaming in protest, his mind telling him to activate his power, but he did not listen to any of them. Zorvath rose more slowly, his eyes fixed on Klein with the same smile, the smile he had at the beginning. The fight was not over.

Klein wanted to rush towards zorvath, but he stopped after hearing zorvath laughing.

"Why are you laughing, does anything looks funny here. "Klein said.

"No, nothing looks funny, it is just that it has been long I enjoy this battle, other challengers just use their overwhelming attributes and power to crush me, but you , you listen to my request. "Zorvath said.

He then also said to himself, I guess that's why you were chosen.

"So as a gratitude for accepting this young man wish, take this vials. "Zorvath said.

"Firstly, you are not a young man, you are a pass millennium year old man, and secondly what is that. "Klein said.

"Ouch, that is harsh, it is an healing potion, I want you to have it, after all I don't want you to die quickly when the real match start. "Zorvath said.

"Hahahaha, old man you can't kill me easily, after all I won't die before taking my vengeance on the pairese, but thanks for caring. "Klein said.

Klein drank one of the vial content, he found out that the taste is bitter, and all is wonds, is stamina, has heal back to normal.

He then said.

"Old man, I am ready, can we start now.

"Oh, we can start, I was only waiting for you to finish. "Zorvath said.

Soon the real match begins.

Klein and zorvath clashed, their full power unleashing a maelstrom of destruction in the forest. Zorvath summoned a turrent of water, striking Klein with a powerful blast that sent him crashing into into the trees. Klein body which was formerly healed is now cracked and bruised, how skin tearing open.

As he struggles to rise, Zorvath charged forward, his sword slicing through the air with deadly precision. Klein parried the blow with his dagger, but zorvath 's strength sent him stumbling backward.the lizard man's sword bit deep into Klein shoulder, severing tendons and muscles.

Klein screamed in agony, his vision blurring. But his passive effects "vengeful fury" granted him the required strength to counterattack. He struck zorvath with a poison dagger, aiming for his eyes. Zorvath roared in pain as the toxin blinded him.

The battle become a gruesome spectacle, both combatant exchanging blows that tore flesh and shattered bones. Klein quickly use evade to escape the blow heading for his face. But the lizard man's water manipulation granted him increased speed and agility, making him a formidable opponent.

The battle raged on, the two combatant covered in blood and gore. Klein's endurance began to falter, his breathing laboured. Zorvath sensed victory within his grasp and pressed his advantage.

In a desperate bid to turn the tide, Klein activated his fog manipulation, creating a thick mist that obscured the battlefield . He quickly try using teleport wether it will work, and thankfully it worked, he teleported to the back of Zorvath, striking with all his might. The lizard man stumbled, his vision obscured by the fog.

Klein took advantage of the momentary distraction , striking again and again, his daggers digging deep into zorvath 's scales, releasing poison and also paralyzing him at the same time. The lizard man's water attributes faltered, his strength wavering.

With a final, mighty blow, Klein struck zorvath down, ending the brutal fight, as the fog cleared, Klein stood panting, his body battered and bruised, he had emerged victorious from the battle, while the lizard man is lieing on the floor bloody, his skin turning purple from the poison, but still alive, even though he his very closed to death door.

Klein went towards zorvath side and said.

"Old man, you are still alive, I thought you will be dead. "Klein said.

"Don't worry, I will sonn be on my way, I just want to be sure about something. "Zorvath said.

"Okay, so what do you want to be sure of. "Klein said.

"I want to be sured wether you will come back to same all of us, after gaining strength and awakening your bloodline fully. "Zorvath said.

"Don't worry old man, I promise that I will come back to save all of you, and grant you the peace you deserve, if you don't believe me I can make a promise on my life. "Klein said.

"No need, I believe you already, I will be going, I don't know why I am like this, when I will still comeback and continue the cycle. "Zorvath said.

"You are just a crazily, sentimental old man. "Klein said.

"Then I will quickly be on my way. "Zorvath said, but as he said that is body then went limp.

{Congratulations, you have defeated the fake boss, you receive 350 exp}

{Congratulations, you have gain the aerius boot}

{Congratulations, you have level up)

"Ah, he is finally gone, but I will gain strength and come back to save all of you, but when the time is right. "Klein said.

He then went toward zorvath body, he then dug his body and dug out his attributes crystal, he then take it, but he did not gain anything else from it, he then check his watch for time, and saw he saw that he still has 3 more hours before his fight.

Klein then said, that is enough time for me to defeat the boss and rest.
