“Let me go first! I’ll do it!”
“Go for it.”
“ This is the strongest magic of the [Saint], so take it like a man! {Sword of Holy light}!”
“Manma!?”
In the second round some of the skills and magic that we activated can now be used and Rana started us off by dealing a large amount of damage.’Sword of Holy light’ is an mid tier advanced class magic that is a bit further up the skill tree than Blade of light.
“What is this!? That felt great! I just dealt so much damage!”
“Lady Rana, that was very dignified.”
Sometimes I wonder if Ester cares a little too much for Rana because now she’s even more excited.
“I want to go again! My turn will never end! {Tree of Holy light}!”
""
“Manma!?”
Next Rana used the upper tier version of pillar of light. This cause a larger tree made of light to rise up from the ground in a powerful AOE attack. It deals damage to whatever touches it and in a much greater area as well, it’s quite good so I plan to have her use it again once the smaller mushrooms are summoned again.
“Manma, Manma, Manma!”
Oops, we forgot about aggro. The boss tried to head for Rana but someone came in between them. That’s right, me. I mean Ciara.
“I want to have fun as well. {Fascinating Shield}!”
“Ma!?”
Ciara took up position between Rana and the boss using her new skill. It’s considered an attack skill with a narrow range of effect but I explained all this beforehand and the shield maiden was able to make use of it without difficulty. The effect of this skill is to cause the target to ignore whoever has aggro for 20 seconds and concentrate on the person that used the skill.
“Mamama, Manma!”
The boss swung out its arm at Ciara but,
“{Iron Wall}!”
Ciara activated her new defence skill, cover shield was used to protect her friends meaning that this was the first skill used to defend herself. Her shield was wrapped in a blue illusion resembling a wall. In exchange for being unable to move once it’s activated Ciara’s defence goes up a lot. The boss punched Ciara’s shield several times but nothing happened until,
“{Counter Burst}!”
“Ma!?”
Ciara timed her skill perfectly countering the moment the punch landed on her shield causing a large shock wave. The boss took a lot of damage and was knocked back because of this.
“My turn. {Flash thrust}”
Ester jumped in using the upper tier version of precious thrust causing a large amount of damage and scoring a knockback down.
“We have a chance! Unique skill activate! {Awakening of the princess’s knight}!”
Ester activated her unique skill which was a very nice decision. She had previously raised it to level 10 cutting the MP consumption of skills to 1/4th for 16 seconds and reducing the cooldown to ⅛th. In other words this skill allows you to use your other skills as much as you want, because of this we didn’t limit this skill to just being activated since it only truly shines at level 10. So what does this all mean?
“{Long Thrust} {Triple thrust} {Flash thrust} {Long thrust}{Legion Thrust} {Precious Thrust}{Triple thrust} {Flash thrust}{Long thrust}{Legion Thrust}{Precious Thrust}{Long thrust} {Triple Thrust}{Flash Thrust}{Long Thrust}{Legion Thrust}{Precious Thrust}{Long Thrust}!!”
Even her skill with the longest cool down time was reduced to only 5 seconds meaning that she can basically just use it as much as she wants. In this way the bosses HP was reduced to the red zone in the blink of an eye….No, it just dropped to 0.
“Aww.”
Rana let out a sad voice as it disappeared into a sea of lights.
“Wow, [Princess’s knight] is really scary..”
Ester defeated it brilliantly. The boss had gone berserk near the end but Ester never let up and the boss was defeated before it could even get back up.
“That was so fast that we didn’t even get to do anything.”
""
“Has it even been a full minute since the fight started? See, this is why I say the third stage is so strong, it didn’t even have time to summon.”
Hannah was smiling, the third stage is a little too powerful for the beginner dungeons so we should be about ready to step into the intermediate class dungeons. I’m really looking forward to it but,
“Ester! You overdid it! You took all our turns as well!”
“S, Sorry Lady Rana. I wasn’t used to it yet and accidentally overdid it.”
…..I think this might be the first time that Rana has had the chance to scold Ester, isn’t it usually the other way around?
