Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 92

[Congratulations on killing the Unique Boss, (Necromancer Lich).]
[Since this boss is exclusive and can only be defeated once, this will not be announced in public.]
-Got...
-Got...
I was surprised by the pop-ups when I released the [Cross of Light] to the necromancer. I am quite sure that the skill's damage is not enough to kill the boss. But seeing the pop-ups of the kill notification, it means the boss died after being struck from the skill.
The undead surrounding the place started to dissipate like dust and the dark energy swirling around the mansion slowly clears up. The [Clear the Mansion] quest also glow which means the quest is finally done and can now be confirmed back to the Adventurers' Guild.
Still, it is questionable that I managed to kill a boss that has to be raided by multiple players just to kill the boss in the past. I am expecting a more epic fight but it ended quickly so to clear up my confusion, I decided to check the Log of the battle. This way, I would be able to check what occurred after the battle.
I have seen many Holy Knight use the skill [Cross of Light] in bosses many times and although they are not well sought as the Paladin class which is the main tank in the game, they are still needed in a boss battle due to their insane capability to tank and deal damage alternately. Basically, they are the tank-DPS combination class which can replace the damage dealers and tanks if they are injured and need to fall back. They also have the self-heal skill similar to the Paladin's [Shield of Healing] only that they heal only themselves instead of healing the others, opposite of a Paladin.
Players dubbed the Holy Knight as a "Selfish Class" due to the skill effects that only apply self buffs. Still, they can't deny that a Holy Knight is also a useful class.

Casting the [Cross of Light] while the Necromancer is busy is tough. I never expected that I needed to aim three indicators at the same time and these indicators are not fixed making it a little bit tricky. However, as a former Magic Knight class player, an indicator like this is nothing to me. With quick and precision, I placed the indicators in strategic places. The front of the necromancer, the back of the necromancer, and the undead horde.
Every [Cross of Light] cross that falls in the sky has a slight delay every time one falls. So if the Necromancer Lich managed to dodge the first cross, there is a high chance that the necromancer will retreat backward. As for the possibility for this guy to move sideways, well, that is already covered as I will be the one personally dealing with it alongside Atlas, Leona, and Lina.
"[Cross of Light]!"
Three arcs of light appeared and at lightning speed, the lights fell one by one to the ground. The Necromancer who saw the first light immediately teleported to the back. However, just as he lands at his location to dodge the first light, he didn't expect the second light will suddenly fall to where he was standing.
"AAAAAHHHHHHH! CURSED HUMAN!"
BANG!
The necromancer lich was immediately pierced by the [Cross of Light]. Due to the damage output that I managed to release in one go, I see the HP of the Necromancer Lich whittled down to the half bar.
"Accursed human! You will pay for this with your life! DIE!"
Raising his staff, another summoning circle appeared again raising more undead in the vicinity.
"Master, can we end this immediately? This is getting annoying, really," Atlas said as he scratched his helmet.
"Well, it's time, and it's getting troublesome too. Don't prolong it that much alright? We will be supporting in the backlines."

"Yes, master. Partner! Let's go!" Atlas immediately climb up on Leona's back and the two started their rampage. I decided to just chill out and look at the mansion. It might look old but it was still in a very good condition despite being controlled by the undead and a lich. Aside from that, this place looks ideal for my future purposes.
Just as I was still in the middle of reminiscing, a notification popped up with the selection of Yes and No.
[You killed the one-time boss, Necromancer Lich.]
[Since this boss is exclusive and can only be defeated once only, this will not be announced in the World]
-Got...
-Got...
The stream of rewards came flowing into my inventory and my exp bar slowly got filled up. It was surprising for me to see the pop-ups though since I am quite sure that my [Cross of Light] is not enough to deal one-hit damage to the boss. It might be more logical if the Necromancer Lich has a little bit of Hp left on his health bar but getting it empty? Not a chance.
Lina and Atlas were also confused seeing the tough boss suddenly fell to the ground and dissipated to dust.
"What did just happen?" Lina scratches her head when she saw the undead around her starts to fall one by one and disintegrate into the air as ashes.
"The boss died just like that? I thought I can make that boss as my sparring partner... Damn it, it was too weak..." Atlas said with disappointment on his face.
"Now, now, Atlas. The boss might be weak but there are still other bosses that we will be facing in the future. That one is nothing to be mentioned," I said to Atlas.
I calmly looked back on the log of my attacks to see what happened that caused it the boss to die. A boss that was almost not killed for how many hours were killed easily by me. When I looked at the last entry, I was surprised since it is not raw damage that killed the boss but the extra ability of my title, [Death's Favorite].
-Cross of Light hit the Necromancer Lich. Dealing ?????? damage. [Death's Favorite] effect activated. Instant Death triggered.
-...
I have seen the ability of [Death's Favorite] to instantly kill enemies. The log will always show lots of question marks once the effect was invoked which is natural since the damage dealt cannot be measured easily to instantly kill a monster. But usually, I can only trigger the increased death chance while fighting mobs before so seeing the effect on action against a boss make me remember that this effect can be really useful and useless at times.
The undead that wanders around the mansion collapsed one by one and becoming ashes as soon as their bones fall to the ground. The darkness that envelopes the mansion is also slowly getting brighter and the layout of the mansion slowly appeared in my vision. After a few minutes, the whole place was now devoid of dead bodies and walking dead. It is now a place where I can finally use it.
"Master, should we get inside the mansion? If a monster is living here until now, we can be sure that there will be things to loot here right?"
I nodded in response to Lina. Just as she said, this mansion will not be devoid of any loot. If I am not wrong, the inside of the mansion contains the loot. Since I cleared it, there is nothing wrong with getting this loot right? The guild would never be the one to own it since I am the one who killed the enemies here.

My head snaps to the voice belonging to the youngest of the Valentine brothers, Dalton, as he makes his way towards me. Dominic's hand wraps around my throat possessively making me arch my back into him. This gives Delrick clear access to my lips as I look up at him, in which he wastes no time. His lips meet my own hungrily. "Who do you belong to Annalise." Dalton gathers my blonde hair into his hand, tugging making me break my kiss. "Daddies."***Cover made by @brookecastellan10***
