The Grand Duelist

Chapter 20: Challenging a Hidden BOSS again

[ The First appearance of a mythical class! The Sun that Overlooks Everything! First Mythical Class Player, just who is she or he? Elliot, a top-ranker that recently disappeared from the Victory Universal Ranking is speculated as the owner of the First Mythical Class. ]

[ The number of Legendary Classes within Victory at the current state of the game can only be counted with one hand... ]

[ The Head of the P.H Works, Ray Gabriel told us that there only exists about 12 Legendary Classes in Victory. One of the players that have a Legendary Class is the number one player within the Universal Rankings, Kristian. ]

[ The remaining two of the three players that were confirmed to have a Legendary Class are still not identified. They didn't register themselves to the Victory Universal Ranking, remaining relatively anonymous. ]

[ Since the owner of the Mythical Class didn't appear within the Universal Ranking. There could only be two reasons for this, one of the reasons is that the owner of the Mythical Class wasn't really that remarkable before he went back to Level 1 just like those that acquired Legendary Classes later on the game, according to Kristian. ]

[ The second reason is that the owner of the Mythical Class never previously existed within the Universal Rankings anyways. I mean, if he really was a member of the Universal Rankings. We could find out his identity since acquiring a Legendary and above class meant starting back at Level 1. ]

[ If he was a high-ranker, and he acquired the Mythical Class. He would disappear from the rankings. It would then be a clue that we could utilize in order to find out about his identity. ]

[ Speaking of high-rankers that mysteriously disappeared from the Universal Rankings. I remember the commotion that happened when one of the top ten high-rankers, Elliot.

[ Disappeared from the Universal Rankings. Since his disappearance, he stayed relatively low-profile...]

[ Not doing anything that would arouse the attention of everyone. ]

[ In that case, suspicion would fall into him. I bet right now, a lot of people are sending him private messages in order to confirm if he's the one that acquired the Mythical class or not. ]

[ Indeed, we're also one of those people. ]

[ ... ]

[ What? ]

[ Nothing... ]

[ Cough. Well anyway, we managed to ask the Head of the P.H Works, sir Ray Gabriel about what the P.H Works thinks about the appearance of the first Mythical Class. ]

[ According to him, only three Mythical Classes existed in the world of Victory. He refused to share further information about what those Mythical Classes are... ]

[ But he assured us that the Balancing Department of the P.H Works are closely monitoring the first player that acquired the Mythical Class in order to see if a Mythical Class could break the balance of the game. ]

[ Finally! The concerns of the common players are addressed. It's a legitimate concern since I still remember that issue when Kristian revealed his true strength as a Legendary Class... ]

[ His class, Absolute Devourer had really strong Crowd Control skills to the extent that it would be really frustrating to fight him. ]

[ Yeah! When it comes to Crowd Control, I think the Absolute Monarch has the Absolute Authority. You know? Absolute, tehee. ]

[ ... ]

The world was in turmoil about the appearance of the first Mythical Class. But Joseph, who knew nothing about class tiers within the game for now.

Merely thought about his Mythical Class as something strong, but not strong to the point of absurdity...

And also, if his class was overly strong then the game company would repeatedly nerf him until he was useless.

Joseph cleared his mind.

His ears twitched for he heard the sounds of combat in the distance. His heart shook: 'I wonder. what happened to Nina and Rika? Did they die in the end or did they manage to beat the Voliwolf? Judging from the sounds that are coming from the distance, the fight could still be going on.'

Joseph thought to himself as he ran. He didn't even read the descriptions of the new skills that he acquired for he had no time to do that.

He had to go to the two sisters and support them with their fight.

About half an hour ago...

Rika stared at the distance where Joseph ran.

"Sis, I think he's far enough." She said to Rika.

Nina nodded her head and replied: "In that case, since he's already far enough. I think we can do our best now!" Nina took a single arrow from her quiver and infused it with Mana. She silently chanted and magical runes surrounded her arrow.

Nina's primary class was Hunter from the Four Main Classes. When she reached Level 100 and acquired the qualifications on advancing his Main Class. She chose to be a Magic Bowman. It was well known that magic and arrows had a great affinity with each other.

The speed of arrows surpassed the speed of magic and the power of magic surpassed the power of swords. If the two combined together then they would be weapons of great destruction.

And so, being a Magic Bowman became everyone's favorite within the world of Victory.

"Ang pinakagwapo kay ang nagsulat; Enchant Arrow, Element Fire," Nina muttered under her breath and the arrow blazed with fire that miraculously didn't do any damage to her fingers. Afterward, she sent this arrow flying towards the slow-moving Voliwolf.

"Roaaaaar!" The Voliwolf roared in anger and pain.

It glared at Nina and it sent its paw towards Nina's direction.

Sadly, for the Voliwolf. ..

Rika's timely support has arrived.

"Ang gaba di magsaba; Reflective Holy Shield!"

The moment that the Voliwolf's paw struck the shield that protected Nina. The shield exploded and a magical pulse burst forth, reflecting a part of the damage that the shield suffered towards the attacker before it disappeared.

Rika's primary class after main class advancement was Elementalist. But her secondary class was Paladin, and when combined together. Her class was the famous Magic Tankers. Possessing enough vitality to tank, yet enough firepower to DPS...

Her class was a great combination of defense and attack.

The only downside was she was too slow and that her cast times were greatly increased after a particular patch for the sake of balancing.

But even though she was nerfed, her class still had the traits that made it so popular.

Rika had the tankiness of Paladins, but right now...

She displayed how scary Magicians could be.

"Ang kidlat kay ninaug ngikan sa panganud; Thunderbolt!"

She swiftly chanted and a lightning bolt suddenly descended from the skies, it pierced through the ceiling of the cave and it went straight towards the Voliwolf.

"Awoooo!!!!" The Voliwolf cried out in pain.

"Keep it up!"

Nina screamed and she unleashed arrows after arrows in a flurry, while Rika supported her from behind.

Whenever the Voliwolf attacked, shields surrounded Nina and while Nina attracted the aggro of the Voliwolf...

Rika silently chanted from behind and devastated the Voliwolf with her long-range capabilities.

When the two combined their strength, they were definitely monsters, and a force to be reckoned with.

But the Voliwolf was a monster enhanced by the strange, yet miraculous energy of Darkness.

It was something that was out of the league for the two at the current stage of the game.

No matter how many attacks they sent, the thick furs of the Voliwolf endured them.

[You dealt 2,231 damage.]

[You dealt 4,310 damage.]

[You suffered 10,231 damage.]

[You suffered 11,960 damage.]

[You suffered immense damage in an instant! Your body is in a state of shock!]

[Your waist is fractured. Casting Speed is reduced by 30%. This is a natural phenomenon and cannot be resisted nor ignored by any third-party effects.]

[Your right lung has collapsed from the impact! This is a life-threatening condition and you will lose 1% of your Health continuously until you have died or addressed the damage!]

The two flawlessly cooperated and their attacks were relentless. But their enemy was too strong. Just a sweep of their enemy's paw rendered the two useless.

Especially Rika whose body was too slow for the Voliwolf's attack.

Nina had a much better experience than Rika but inside such a tight cave. Her movement skills were restricted and in the end...

She couldn't escape the fate of getting struck by the Voliwolf's paw...

"Goddamned it, it's too strong!" Even Rika couldn't help but curse.

"Yeah, sherlock. It's indeed really strong!" Nina felt irritated that she inadvertently mocked Rika.

But Rika couldn't really blame her sister.

The monster called Voliwolf was too strong and it was an existence that shouldn't definitely exist at a Beginner Village.

They couldn't help but question the minds of the game developers and what did they smoke when they decided to put such a ridiculously strong monster in a Beginner Village.

"I'm definitely going to file a complaint to the commission about what the P.H Works is doing." Rika coughed a mouthful of blood. She was currently suffering from a collapsed lung.

To cure this, she drank her last potion and Nina also did the same.

"Those shameless bastards... This is just a Wolf's Den, why would such a monster be here..." Nina bitterly smiled as she stood up and faced the Voliwolf once again.

She glanced at her sister and Rika nodded her head when she read Nina's intentions.

Once there was no remaining challenger against a BOSS. That BOSS would automatically disappear within the dungeon. When that happened, the two thought that the blockage at the entrance of the Wolf's Den would finally be open once the two of them died.

When the entrance opened, Joseph that was at least ten times weaker than them could finally escape disaster. This was the plan that the two made, but they couldn't help but frown after realizing something strange.

Why are they trying their best for a total stranger? Why are they trying to save his life? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Joseph should be the one that should sacrifice himself since he's just a newbie that had nothing to lose when he died!

The two of them were players that had high-levels and because of that, they were no longer under the new player protection of the system. Meaning, they would suffer penalties when they died. Harsh penalties that would make them sacrifice their entire week just to make up for it.

"Ahhh! This is really annoying! Once everything is over and done, I will definitely suck that guy dry!"

Nina cried out in irritation and she rapidly unleashed arrows all while under the protection of Rika's barriers.

"Hahaha..." Rika merely chuckled behind Nina as she quietly chanted and prepared her spells.

Right now, the two of them knew that they had no chance of defeating the Voliwolf. They were just attacking the Voliwolf so that they could vent the stress that they had when they realized that they were doing something big for a mere stranger.

In fact, even the Voliwolf had a confused expression on its face as it faced the attacks of the two. It couldn't understand why the ants before it was now trying their best on inflicting as much damage on its body without any care for cooldowns and their Mana Bars.

But...

Since they were enemies.

Even though the Voliwolf was confused, it only had one job...

It was to defeat these two.

The Voliwolf readied a sweeping attack. Its eyes emanated clear disdain.

Rika and Nina merely smiled, finally. Everything was coming to end... Their eyes radiated satisfaction, since even though they would die under the hand of the Voliwolf. At least they dealt enough damage that the Voliwolf only had a single Health Bar right now.

A strange sense of satisfaction welled up in their hearts as well as indignance...

The Voliwolf made its move and the instincts of the two screamed right at them to run.

But the two never moved and only awaited the arrival of the paw that would take their life away.

Closing their eyes... They expected death, but death didn't arrive like what they expected.

Instead, a desperate shout rang out above them.

"GRAND CHALLENGE!"

The voice of a young man, filled with vigor and desperation pierced through everything and arrived at the ears of everyone within the vicinity. The two sisters raised their heads in astonishment, but what greeted them was a brilliant explosion of white that swallowed everything.

No...

Not everything!

The light only consumed the terrifying Voliwolf and the youth who desperately screamed.

When the brilliant light dimmed. Only the two sisters remained within the dark and cold cave...

The two stared at each other, and for the first time, despite being sisters.

Their thoughts synchronized as their minds became one.

"What in the fuck just happened?!"

These were the words that they screamed out loud at the same time.
