《The Toys of the Fool》Vol.3 Prologue - Empowerment Rejected

“Right time to kill you big brute!” said Sain with utter and complete confidence that they would win.
“Sain are you crazy?! This is literally suicide!” complained Shadow even though he knew he would be forced to...
“Shadow...draw it's aggro for me” ordered Sain immediately.
Shadow let out a sigh and immediately did that even though there was a very high chance that he would die just like that. However dying early meant that he could escape from what Sain was planning next at least.
Sain looked at Serena and said, “Don't bother healing since it can easily one shot us. Focus on binding it as much as possible and sometimes attack it using 'Blood Burst'. But before the fight starts, do cast 'Heartbeat Healing for some safety.”
“...Right...” timidly replied Serena, she was not used to this 'new' Sain at all. It was like someone else was wearing his skin and talking to them instead of the usual Sain that really didn't get with the role of being a leader.
“Next is....Raven and Lyndis will take turns drawing it's hate and make sure that I don't die. Raven will be the main with Lyndis supporting with her fire skills and when Lyndis subs in....try not to die” Sain said with a smile void of any and all sympathy to them.
“....” “Okay...?”
“Finally...” Sain looked at Miriel and then said, “Buff us with a speed increase and focus on attacking rather than defending. Just try to draw some aggro to yourself from the others.”
Miriel nodded since she decided to follow whatever Sain had in plan to begin with....even if it had a low rate of success and they would most likely die.
[Master, what about me?] asked Luna who wished to do the best he could for Sain since he was his master who raised him from a small pup.

“Right...you'll be at the front with Raven and Lyndis as well. Make sure they don't die before you even if it kills you. If they seem to be almost hit which will result in them dying, then take that blow for them and die instead.”
[Right....?]
Luna was a bit taken back that his order included on how to die as well. With this, the preparations were done...and Shadow had just lured the Behemoth to them just now.
“It's coming!” shouted Shadow from a fair distance away giving them time to prepare a bit more at least.
“Melody of Speed!” chanted Miriel.
Agility will be increased by 37% for 10 minutes
“Heartbeat Healing!” chanted Serena as well.
Health will regenerate for 12 points every second for 10 minutes
Bang Bang Bang!
The group could clearly hear the Behemoth coming closer and closer becoming more and more nervous as it got near. Eventually a certain Shadow leaped towards them and slide to a stop just behind them panting like crazy.
Seeing the Behemoth, Sain said, “Battle Start!”
[p=center]xXx[/p]
Tens of minutes later...
“Speed Strike!” Lyndis slashed one of the legs of the Behemoth causing a moderate cut on it before rushing away so she wouldn't die.
BANG!
The Behemoth caused a great impact by jumping and slamming as hard as it could on the ground but no one was near enough to be affected that much.
[Take this!]
Luna along with Raven moved in quickly and stabbed and clawed at the face of the Behemoth which was lower to the ground now trying to blind it on orders from Sain. However the horns of the Behemoth glowed a bright purple and suddenly...lightning came out of it.
ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!
Party Member: Raven has been killed

Wolf Summon: Bright Luna has been killed and was recalled, unable to resummon for 24 hours
With that one move, both Raven and Luna died...but the Behemoth also lost an eye thanks to that as well. It's accurately would decrease and the number of hits it could cause individual as well fall.
'But that would mean that it would use more AOE attacks instead....long range seems better now' thought Sain ignoring the fact that both Raven and Luna died just then, 'It's not like they can't come back....time to focus on the right time to use this...'
Several minutes later even Lyndis and Shadow died from the AOE type attacks the Behemoth caused that often involved lightning or using a great force to hit everything around it with no way to dodge.
Now there was only Miriel and Serena left along with Sain who were all ranged users.
“Root Bind!” Serena used this spell for what seemed to be the hundredth time on the Behemoth trying to restrain it's movements as much as possible but it would only last for a few seconds each time.
“Ice Bolt!” Miriel continued on firing her ice magic attack at the Behemoth trying to deal some damage to it. She did not want to use 'Ice Burst' no matter how high the damage was since the chance to die was too high.
“ROOOOOOOOOOOARRR!!!” With great strength, the Behemoth ripped through the 'Root Bind' spell and charged at Serena who was stunned by the sudden development. Sain naturally dodged it with Miriel as well but Serena could not react in time.
Bang!
Party Member: Serena has been killed
And now it was just Sain and Miriel left....
“There's still a chance of victory” said Sain calmly seeing the whole situation they were in. The Behemoth was at around 20% health at most now. If they managed to deal consecutive critical damage to it for around a minute, it would die.
Now was the time to use that trump card.
“Magic Release!”
Mana burst from Sain's body refilling his mana up and increasing the power of his magic attacks as well.
“Mana Bolts!”
From his hand came mana bolts that numbered 13 but each had the power of a 'Magic Arrow' instead. That was the power of a 140% magic attack increase.
Bang Bang Bang...!
“Mana Bolts! Mana Bolts! Mana Bolts! Why aren't you attacking Miriel?!”
Sain was now simply spamming attack after attack on the Behemoth which was now really low on health.
“ROOOOAR!!”
The Behemoth finally let out it's last scream before death as Sain prepared to kill it in one go...
[Sorry about this but I really need everyone back at the guild building]
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Following the message, the Behemoth exploded into pieces just like that without Sain even dealing the final blow at all.
You have levelled up x4
The extra bonuses that he would get by killing the Behemoth which was a lot stronger than him suddenly disappeared all of a sudden.
“Eh?” Sain was speechless of this sudden event as he and Miriel both appeared at the guild building with Eden, Alexandra and the other masters as well, “Eh?” was the only thing he could mutter again.
Then Sain realised slowly that he was KSed by Eden just then.
