《A tale of Might and Magic [Hiatus/Dropped]》28.- Fortress of Bliss 5

Azazeru POV
Nearly 50 soldiers of silver tier against 2 people, well if you count me at least. Even for my master, this is some crazy shit right here.
The other human that I am fighting with also fits nicely in the criteria of crazy. One moment he seems fine and bloodthirsty, then he starts to glow in a dark red aura and cries while also laughing madly when he isn't busy chewing, and just behaves like a wild animal. Or no, wild animals don't do that kind of shit.
I give him one thing though, he really knows where the tasty parts of humans are. Too bad we can not really take a break to enjoy this...
But, I also get to be myself, which is nice. Those shackles on me always hurt... They bind me and burn constantly. Being in this realm is painful for me, the only time I am allowed to feel good is when they are removed.
Normally those shackles are so that the summon would not attack the master, so it would behave, but in our case it is to weaken my master. Yes, the gods went out of their way to limit me as to weaken my master.
All because some bitch ass complained about her being overpowered, bloody hell, go fuck yourself you stupid inbreed product looking motherfukers. Sigh..
Anyhow, normally I fight by throwing weak ass spells from a distance, but while in my true form I gain my full strength and just surround my claws with the dark slime and fight melee. Of course so it makes much more fun.
I think my fight style is somewhere in between the Cunts and Ben's, I deal heavy damage but can also take a few hits.
Right now I am distancing myself from the beast and take out the archers as the madman over there takes another man by his tongue and pulls on it until it no longer can withstand his might and breaks loose. He does that with his mouth by the way as he holds the man on his throat while he slashes with the sword at others. I got to give him that, even I am afraid a little.
Well, just a little. Not like he can follow me into the depths of hell, so I should be safe.
I grab one archer by his head and force his mouth open by pulling on both sides of his mouth, almost ripping his head of his jaw. Then I open my mouth and let some of the high quality slime flow into the almost dying man.
This is a spell not even my Master can do, it makes dying enemies into living bombs. And again, I am only able to do that in my full form... Such a cruel world this is.
Suddenly a cold shiver runs down my spine as I turn around and see Ben with his absolutely mad eyes running up to me, screaming that he is a real man and calling me a slut.
Wtf.
I grab by legs and run for my life while he is still following me and only me for some reason. The archer also explodes and sends Ben flying, giving me the time to put some more distance between us.
Trying to hide behind others I try to get him of me, but he just keeps following me and slashes at them to shove them out of his way.
“Listen!” I get a command from my master per our telepathic link. “You got to finish assisting Ben and when he looks like he can handle the rest you have to search for the last soldier! Look everywhere, no matter if it is the cellar or the barn, just find him! And hurry, it is getting very hard in here, don't think I will handle much longer.”

'Fucking great', I think while Ben madly slashes at me and manages to cut my left shoulder in the moment where I was at a loss for my words.
How does the cunt likes to call it?
EZ.
Calvin POV
Warning: You have been playing for more than 18 hours straight. Please go outside and take care of your needs. Our sensors show that you lack nourishment and water and could use the bathroom. Some sleep would also help.
I got the warning, dammit. I forgot about that, but this is just how it is when you can play for 72 in game hours before the message pops up. I have about 2 more in game hours till I am forcefully ejected so I should either win or loose till then, damn.
I quickly used my [Banner] and the fight started.
The boss after gibing us his speech instantly rushed at us. He tried to attack Daisy, who he probably thought to be the most dangerous out of us three. He is probably right, but he should still not underestimate me together with Elena.
I jumped at him with my [Crush] which did not crush him at all since he mostly parried the attack which was crazy since I jumped at him with my giant body and he just blocked it with one arm. He still got the damage though and was being blasted by the girls from distance.
He swung his sword at me and I could see the power behind the swing and as such had to use my [Shield Strike] to deflect the hit and parried by hitting him in the chest with my mace, dealing next to no damage.
I saw however that his health was slowly climbing down from the others attack.
Arthur swung again at me but it was a feint as he turned around and gave me a roundhouse kick, sending me flying.
Before I knew what hit me, I saw him running up to Daisy with a big swing and his sword surrounded by an icy spell.
I had to use [Stand Behind] instantly to safe Daisy from the insane spell that exploded with ice. I thought she was safe now, but the boss used another spell on me and as soon as he touched my shoulder, which caught me of guard because of how fast and unexpected that move was, I was frozen into place.
As I took a pretty big hit, one of my passives activated and he started to burn in blue flames for the same value that I was hurt.
He then hurried towards Daisy that tried her hardest to kite to her full abilities. She used [Cursed Grounds] which made the ground under his feet dark and then slowed him considerably and she bombarded him together with her other summon; Leecher and Elena.
However soon Arthur used another spell and created an ice wall behind Daisy, cutting of her escape route and caught up to her as she desperately struggled and could do nothing since I was still frozen and out of combat.
Arthur swung his sword coated in another spell at her but before that she activated one of her passive skills and used the “soul energy” of her previously killed enemies to create a shield around her.
The sword still hit her in the shoulder and left her body trough the elbow of the opposite side of her body.
She screamed in pain but did not show any signs of being hurt, there was no blood and the sword almost seemed like it passed through a ghost body but in the next moment the shield broke and she was vulnerable again.

I finally broke out of my stun and rushed towards Daisy. My both mobility skills were on cooldown so I had to tun there with my heavy plate armor and huge body, which would take a few seconds.
Meantime Elena was desperately firing her strongest [Lightning] variation as to try and stun the boss and build up some more powerful [Charge] inside him.
Without her shield and no Summon to swap places with, Daisy was just left standing there as the boss could have his way with her. He impaled her in the stomach and lifted her from the ground, casting some spells onto her as she started to go pale and then blue and shivered, with her tears falling down as ice pieces as she desperately cried in pain.
I finally reached her and swung my mace with all my weight behind it at his fucking head. It did low damage but I at least got his attention. As he turned around I used my shield arm as I would punch someone and with the side of my shield I used [Shield Strike].
He flew into the air for a second before his heavy body forced him back to earth and I quickly used [The Wall] as to heal myself and Daisy.
She got quickly up and without me telling her moved further back and still fired her spells of with a big frown on her face.
The Boss stood up and wiped his broken and bleeding nose. Then he grinned and trusted his sword into the ground.
Behind me Daisy instantly called out. “CALVIN! USE [Unbreakable Will]! NOW!”
I did not know what was about to happen, but I complied and jumped into the air. Beneath me I saw as the champion exploded in ice and everything around him was covered in it immediately. My team included.
I reached the ceiling and saw as he looked at me surprised but then just grinned widely. I turned my body midair and jumped of the ceiling.
When I landed it send out a giant shock wave that broke all ice and send Elena and Diasy in the air for a few seconds, without damaging them but setting them free.
Arthur also received the hit, but he held onto his in the ground sticking sword and was not stunned, just a little damaged.
Elena quickly used her [Holy Grounds] and healed both her and Daisy.
Arthur just grinned widely. “Yes, this is fun indeed. I am almost sorry killing you of in a few minutes.”
Azazeru POV
While I was still being followed by this madman and the not so forgettable 20 soldiers left, I managed to run inside every other building that was not the castle and somehow even came out alive.
The supposed hidden soldier was certainly not here but probably somewhere inside the castle.
From the information provided to us, the cunt cleared the whole castle, at least the ground floor and above. HE was not in the ceiling I suppose or the hidden soldier would have been dead and since this is the last place I have not looked till now, he must be either hidden there or in some behind the bookshelf hidden room. In that case, fuck me but I am out, no chance in hell I could find that.
While running I grab one soldier and slit his throat while throwing him behind me at that crazy fucking lunatic.
His attention for a few seconds changes to the poor man and he swings his big sword right at his torso as he is flying towards him and he slashes right up to the middle, before the sword stops and the half corpse is sent flying by the swing.
I however used this chance and came right up to him. Coating two of my fingers in slime, I drill them in Benjamin's eyes and pump some more of the good ol slime inside.
When I remove my fingers I can already see his eyes healing but then the slime expands in volume and explodes, making him blind an scream in rage for at least the next few minutes.
Instantly I use ma chance and run inside the castle.
Behind me I see him using his smelling sense to find his next victims as he slashes at them as if his life depends on it, which it probably is. He starts to loose his living force faster as the time goes on, probably a side effect of this dark spell.
Doesn't matter as I run inside the Castle and search for the way down as my masters life depends on it.
I find it a little further down the hall and right to the frozen giant door. There were a few common folks which I ignored and searched for the soldier that was hiding here.
It took me not long at all since the fucker came searching for me as he heard the screams.
I did not spare him a seconds as I just jumped at him and started to claw my way inside of his body. The armor skin and flesh came flying left and right as I sat on top of him and slashed left and right, causing him to run out of life force in a matter of exactly 6 seconds.
The others just screamed and nothing to help, well doesn't matter as I ran back outside and saw only 6 remaining soldiers still hanging onto their poor lives and of course the lunatic that grew desperate by now.
Like I said before, Easy.
Calvin POV
He run straight at me while being bombarded by spells and we entered a quick melee fight which he absolutely dominated.
I did not even stand a chance as he forced me down and applied the spell on me which made me useless again.
Next he decided to attack Elena. Ohh, big mistake.
Before he could reach her she just smirked and used her [Archangel] which made me appear right in front of her.
Yes it was a mobility spell for her bonded person, me, but since she had to activate it and not me, it could also remove all Crowd control effects on me.
Quickly we attacked him together, causing him to get stunned for a short time as an additional effect of [Archangel]. I used this chance and bashed my mace right in his skull once and then twice.
When I wanted to strike the third time, he surrounded his offhand with ice magic and stopped my mace with is hand. He forced my hand down and headbutted me with all of his power. It was so powerful that I was sent flying.
When I opened my eyes again I saw him running up to Elena while Daisy was spamming her damage spell and building up some slime that would explode from time to time but did not so much damage as he was not low HP.
Elena tried to root him but it only slowed him down for a quarter of a second as he continued to run but was slowed now.
I also stood up and ran to my fullest power. The cooldowns were still not up, god dammit.
He finally reached her and impaled her with his sword right in the middle of her chest which almost immediately killed her.
Elena's reaction was that she grinned widely with a mad glint in her eyes and held his head with both of her hands. As he was lifting her up and casting a spell, this fucking piece of human garbage, I saw Elena's lips moving. “[Kirin]” Behind her a small dark cloud formed and heavy thunder came out of it and move through Elena's body right towards Arthur, deep frying his brain.
He was standing there and shacking as electricity was moving trough his body and made his muscle spasm.
Finally he managed to regain some control as he threw her of his word as far as possible and got on one knee. “Hehe, not bad, all of you.”
As he stood up and Elena came back on her feet, she used [Deadly Blooming] And summoned a deadly flower beside Arthur that attacked for low damage but slowed him. She also casted a [Lightning] which healed her.
I was about to reach him when he just threw his sword towards Elena which impaled her and sent her flying, immediately killing her. I saw that and swung my mace in fury which was stopped by him as he coated his hands in ice and smiled towards me. “Just a moment, got to be a serious for a second then we can play together.”
I saw how the sword that was impaling my sister suddenly melted as if it was made of ice and another one grew out of his right hand.
The fucker kicked me in my knee, almost breaking it and as I went to the ground he slashed at my eyes, making me blind until I could heal up.
The next 4 seconds I could only hear Daisy's screams and desperate struggle and as I opened my eyes after I healed up, I saw him impaling her on the ground lying pale body.
“Well, who would have thought.” He said impressed. “Seems like all of my family is gone, only the both of us left here.”
I stood up and furiously came towards him.
Before my eyes, I saw the tip of his sword breaking like thin ice and dropping to the ground. Seeming dissapointed, he suddenly dropped it to the ground and turned to me. “How about it, the chances are no longer against you.” I looked towards his hp and saw that from his 35% from before he had only 7% suddenly without the bonus of his. “How about it, Mano en mano. A fist fight. No magic. I promise I won't cheat.”
Without thinking and consumed by my rage I came forward and dropped both my shield and mace. “Piece of shit, you hurt Elena, Bashing your skull into the ground was my plan from the beginning.”
I ran up to him and hit him as hard as I could as I jumped into the air and put all my weight behind the powerful punch that sent this son of a dirty 1 dollar cheap leg spreading whore flying.
He did not get a chance to respond as I got on top of him and started to beat his surprised face into mush.
I lost myself as for how often I hit him, but after a while there was no bone in his face still whole.
Suddenly my fist was grabbed by a by ice magic enchanted hand and he held it right before I was about to hit him another time.
“No magic, Eh mate?” I did not give a shit as I just put more might behind my fist and smashed his and onto the ground which made it break into thousand ice pieces.
“You cheating lich king wannabe motherfucker.” I lifter my hand and with every ounce of my might slammed it down onto its head, dealing the final blow and cracking his skull open.
“Told ya.” I said while breathing heavily and still on top of him.
Victory music started to play, telling me how I won but I did not give a shit as I was as tired as ever and just logged off.
Getting tired of this shit.
AN: 2 more chapters and 2 intermissions till this ark/book/part 1 or whatever is over.
Was this little dungeon gud? I think everyone got to shine and it was fun, but it is just me...
Next chapter Ben's POV from the past and how he started the game. A nice doses of fucked up.
