《Mage of the Abyss》Chapter 39 – Mini Bosses
Advertisement
A golem’s structure is known to be sturdy, but after consecutive strikes done by Kurira, freezing cold enveloped the golem. Its attack becomes slower, and so is its movement. It hasn’t been long since the battle started, the level gap between the fighters is wide, and yet, the level 3 human emerged victorious against the level 10 golem.
When it falls, the stones separate with a breath of frost seeping out.
“DID. YOU. SEE THAT?!” yelled Rakuri in a flexible pose standing with her posture close to touching the ground, jiggling her breasts, “First boss. Out!”

~ {Loot Obtained: E-Grade Random Item Box}
“Just got a loot box. Shall we see what’s inside?” said Kurira as she made the box appears. Rakuri prepared the camera for the roll.
*Clack *Clack *Wooosh
5 cards flew out of the box showing only their back. There are three bronze cards, and two silver cards, “Aww, even with that much luck, I didn’t get a gold, huh.”
She flipped them one by one. The bronze area all potions to restore Health while the silver cards revealed something that catches her eye.
{Silver Boots / Rank E / Rare / Physical Defense: 80 / Magical Defense: 40 / Effect: Reduce incoming damage from undead-type enemies by 10%}
{Falcon Spear / Rank D / Rare / Physical Attack: 210 / Magical Attack: 0 / Effect: On Hit, bolster the user’s movement and increases their jump ability for 5 seconds, negate fall damage while the effect is active / Requirement: 80 Dexterity}
“Ohh, the spear looks decent. Low requirement and got the Effect ‘On Hit’ too. You can pretty much have it active at all times if you keep attacking.”
Rakuri feeling mixed, “Ehh, what’s the point of a Wizard building Dex?”
“I could give it to you.”
“Meh.”
Kurira allocated the points she got from leveling up but suddenly noticed something when she hovers over her inventory, and that is the fact that all the items from the box are there. Even after knowing that, she didn’t spend her Secondary Attribute Points to build Dexterity so that she can meet the requirement for [Falcon Spear]. Instead, she increased the stats that she already has.

The giant gate suddenly brims as it opens, just slightly. Enough for them to pass through but before they do that, they hold hands together.
“Well then, shall we get started on this speedrun?”
“Heh, the camera is ready to go, hon.”
Walking towards the darkness at the same pace, with the same breath, and at the same time. Not long after they entered. A noise coming from the back. It was a banging sound and suddenly, they noticed that behind them is not a door but a wall.
Rakuri then looks at the camera once again, “I shall explain how things go from here. Imagine an arrowhead, that’s what is like in the beginning stage of this place. This area. At each edge of the arrowhead, a mini-boss is guarding the next area. This being Any% speedrun, we only need to kill one of em which is at the end of the arrowhead. After that, the path will be a straight linear path with waves of enemies and a couple of mini-bosses that are mandatory to defeat. We won’t be using any glitches to skip these bosses, and you bet if we were to get hit by one of these bosses even just one tiny poke…” smiling, “It’s gonna hurt a lot.”
“Now, the reason, why we don’t do 100% speedrun, is that one boss on the left here is just not gonna show up until you defeat the boss on the right, but that boss is just straight up unbeatable if you don’t have any flame magic. And we just don’t like going back and forth.”

Looking at Kurira stretching her arms and legs, Rakuri whistled, “Mmm, look at that bod…” upon noticing the glare, she quickly switched, “Anyway! Ready at any time, baby!”
With the timer clocking in, Rakuri raised her hand and swing it down, “GO!”
She dashes forward, going in a straight line. Leaving Rakuri behind. Though, she is calm about it knowing about the fact that she no longer has to keep up appearances. Grasping the air, she summoned her staff once again.

Narrowing her eyes down with a grin, she summons a box, the same kind as Kurira just opened a few moments ago. Chuckled a laughter, “Heheheh.”
Kurira has reached the gate, and the mini-boss has entered her field of vision. A winged demonic monster, dark in appearance. Instead of sneaking around, taking it by a surprise, she decided to take the monster head-on.
! {Boss Encounter}
~ {Undead Gargantua Imp | Lv. 20}
She starts by leaping in the air, swinging her club-like wand. However, the monster noticed her but instead of quickly blocking the attack, it instead growling loudly at her, intending to instill fear in Kurira. It did not work.
*BAM*
{135}
Attacking its skull with a blunt weapon imbued by frost, rendering it staggered. Kurira followed by a roundhouse kick and another strike with her wand.
*Bakk *BAM
{60}
{135}
It flapped its wing to recover, “Graaaaaghh!” it dashes forward and extended its claws, aggressively swinging them at Kurira. Her eyes widened as she too is charging at the monster. When she is close to being in contact with its attack, she put one foot in the front and stretches her upper body backward as she went lower with her wand swinging from the left. The claw misses her beautiful face but the wand struck the monster’s jaw.
*BAM*
“Graaaaaghk!”
{180}
{Frostbite}
She grabbed the monster’s arm to recover her footing but also uses it to gain elevation before striking down the monster’s face.
*BANG*
{225}
In its slowed state, the monster tried to guard against the attack, but Kurira kicked its decayed throat with the other foot on the lower part of his body, she mounted the monster and struck it repeatedly with the wand. Each strike costs her stamina to go down rapidly. Her current moves consume so much more than the previous, but the damage with each strike constantly increasing.
{235}
{240}
{255}
{285}
Not long after, the monster fell on its back with its entire body emitting cold air. Kurira’s wand is soaked with the monster’s blood.

The Everlasting. (Completed)
An Everlasting. A title given to those who have reached a state closest to godhood. Be it through might and power or through love and compassion. These beings hold great influence over the realms. This story is about Asura, a young orphaned child, who was taught the way of the blade and has mastered the Warrior Arts at a very young age. Given a recommendation by his master, Asura ventures out to broaden his horizons and to learn magic. Follow Asura’s journey and his quest to reach Everlastinghood. Comment by the author: Looking at the chapter list, you might have noticed Volume 1 is not there. The reason is that it’s in the process of being published so I’m somewhat restricted in where and how I can post it. Edit. 18/04/2017 The first volume is now officially on sale. It is no longer possible to get the first volume for free. I am sorry but it was free for a long time and it was time for it. However if you like to support me you can find th first volume here on Amazon (getBook.at/TheEverlasting) Compared to other stories on Royal Road this one is faster paced. No artificial extensions of the story by spending forever in generic constructs, like random ranking tournaments, that don’t really matter for the overall plot. That’s the plan anyway. Volumes consist roughly of 30-35k words. Additionally: I am not a native speaker, nor have I had any formal education in the English language. I am trying very hard to improve myself. If you want to help me by proofreading my story, shoot me a PM and we’ll see if we can arrange something. Other than my thanks and fake internet points I can’t offer anything, though. Yeah, poor student here… Edit 22/06/2017 Hey the story is officially ended if i ever decide to continue it will be on another date. The ending is open for anyone to use their imagination. Thank you all for the support. I hope we could meet later in the Everlasting II. Respectfully Biako

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
