[Time Remaining: 00:54:38]
"The undead army closed in, leaving Jett with little time to spare. Despite his confidence in his strength, facing hundreds of undying soldiers alone while protecting a lifeless body for 30 minutes was no small feat.
As they drew nearer and charged towards him, creating more space between them and Finn. He was ready to utilize every skill in his arsenal to keep them occupied, knowing he had to go all out.

"This skill always gives me goosebumps, no matter how many times I use it," he thought to himself as he activated Heavenly Blessing: S.
"You'd even think the Hero class was pure cheating," he muttered, amazed by how quickly his fatigue had been alleviated. "Then again, I guess I'm cheating too, having the ability to copy skills and merge them," he added, spacing out for a moment.
"Good thing they all possess a dark attribute," he remarked, looking at the monsters as they kept getting closer. "It would've been a hassle to fight them all."
All the monsters that approached Jett immediately disintegrated and turned to dust, the moment they got close to [Heavenly Blessing]'s as they all possessed dark attributes. This bought him more time to contemplate how he would survive.
"Taking these guys on by myself would be easy on its own," he mused, unable to suppress a smile as he glanced at Finn. "Who would have thought I would be babysitting?" he added with a sigh of relief.
The monsters continued rushing towards their impending doom, driven by their singular purpose. They lacked any sense of reasoning; all they knew was their targets, and they wouldn't stop until they annihilated them. However, they all turned to dust before they could get any closer.
"I guess I'll be using the Sacred Ring Option I got as a reward. Giving it a holy attribute should help stop most of them from reviving. It's not as effective as the blessing, but half bread is better than none." Jett reasoned, retrieving the ring from his storage and selecting a holy attribute for it, just as he had asked Finn to do earlier.
Satisfied that he had equipped himself sufficiently, he checked his stats.
"Hmm, let's see how much I've leveled up till now."

"I've leveled up four times? This triple Exp boost is greater than what people my age have, and more than double what people my level should have. The only person that could come close would be him would be…," Jett murmured with a satisfied smile, his mind drifting to someone he hoped to meet soon.
"I'll distribute 10 points to each of my stats," he decided. Almost as soon as the thought crossed his mind, the points distributed themselves automatically.
"I'll merge [Speed Boost], [Killer Instinct], [Quick Heal], [Full Resistance] all with [Tactical Mirage]," he declared with a grin, examining the skill attributes once more. "I'm really getting attached to this skill. Now it's become my favorite. I wonder if the name will change this time."
With a deliberate motion, he merged them together to create a new skill.
[Tactical Mirage: A]

- All dependant on current level.
"Whoa, it still didn't change." Jett exclaimed, amazed by the new and upgraded skill description. "It has incredible potential! How is this not an S-class skill yet?" he pondered aloud. "Now I've got backup for when [Heavenly Blessing] ends."
He took one more look at his stats, just to satisfy his ego.

[Time Remaining: 00:44:23]
[Heavenly Blessing] finally ended with 14 minutes remaining before Finn was scheduled to wake up. It was now time for Jett to engage them directly. He lunged forward, creating distance between himself and Finn to form a defensive wall all by himself. Utilizing Aura, he boosted his effectiveness, making himself stronger and faster while enhancing his weapon. He also cast a series of attack spells, strategically targeting clusters of undead monsters to save mana while dealing maximum damage.
[Tactical Mirage]
The upgraded skill proved its worth. Though not as potent as [Heavenly Blessing], it still significantly amplified his original stats. Since the undead monsters were low-tier compared to Jett, he effortlessly obliterated them.
As the battle raged on, most of the defeated monsters began to rise again, but some remained down due to the holy attribute of his Sacred Ring.
"So far, so good. Nothing too crazy has happened yet. Thanks to Tactical Mirage, the skeletons won't be able to revive," Jett assessed the situation while still guarding Finn. However, a few monsters managed to slip through, heading in Finn's direction, but Jett spotted them just in time.
{Hellfire}
A massive pillar of fire erupted, reducing the monsters to ashes. This enabled other monsters to close in on him, but he was prepared.
{Gale Slice}
He utilized a wind spell to push them back while still causing them some damage. Although he aimed to create space between himself and Finn, he didn't want to stray too far, ensuring that his skill would continue to cover Finn.
[Spellblade Storm]
Using the defensive nature of the skill, Jett wielded 10 swords to defend himself and another 10 to protect Finn, swiftly cutting down any stray monsters that ventured too close.
As time drew closer for Finn to awaken, the undead skeletons continued to draw nearer, their numbers increasing with each passing moment. Despite facing resistance and relentless resurrection, Jett held on, refusing to give the monsters a chance to overwhelm him.
[Time Remaining: 00:31:23]
"I think it's finally time to use that skill, before he wakes up."
[Divine Judgment: A]
- Calls upon divine authority to strike down enemies with the righteous fury of lightning, dealing massive AoE damage to foes within a 10m radius.
-Distance increases as the user levels up.
- Holy Attribute
- Lightning Attribute]
[Cooldown: 1 hour]
Immediately activating the skill, a thunderous sound reverberated through the air, followed by a series of lightning strikes that wiped out more than half of the monsters. The holy attribute, as an added bonus, prevented them from reviving, but more continued to crawl out of the ground. Exhausted and in need of rest, Jett was at his limit.
[Time Remaining: 00:30:00]
"Huuuuuuh..." Finn suddenly gasped for air, coughing excessively. "What happened? Am I dead? Is this heaven?" he questioned, confusion evident on his face as he surveyed the scene: countless bones scattered everywhere, and a tired Jett supporting himself with one knee and his sword, drenched in sweat, wearing a pathetic expression on his face.
"You're... finally awake..." Jett heaved a sigh of relief, still trying to catch his breath.
"Pftt..." Finn attempted to stifle his laughter.
"What?" Jett inquired, still breathless.
"I never thought I'd see you this worn down and tired, probably karma catching up to you, hehe." Finn chuckled, unable to contain his amusement any longer.
"You better pick up that spear and defend me like your life depends on it, unless you want this face to be the last one you ever see," Jett warned with a playful seriousness.
"Alright, alright... Umm, Jett?" Finn's expression turned perplexed as he looked at the notification that suddenly appeared before him.
"What is it this time?" Jett responded, not wanting to divert his attention from drinking a healing potion he had previously bought at the store.
"Well... I don't think I'll be of much help," Finn replied, his tone tinged with concern.
"And why is that?" Jett asked, wondering if stupidity was a side effect of the resurrection.
"All my stats got halved for 5 months as a penalty for cheating death," Finn explained, pointing at the status notification that had appeared before him, making it visible for Jett to see.
[You have successfully risen from the dead. This goes against every natural law.]
[Penalty: 50% stat reduction and restriction on all skills]
