“Go to heaven, all of you!”

  Uratnim let out an angry roar. His blue eyes slowly turned pitch bck. The ghost beads rotated wildly around him, turning into a blur.

  Surrounded by bck mana the devil child slowly levitated into the air.

  An arrow shot by Silent Acacia arrived right at this moment. But with a pulse of the darkness, the projectile powerlessly dropped to the ground.

  “Quick, s… ouh!”

  Liam suddenly flinched, pain shooting into his head. He sched his fad gritted his teeth.

  “Mirage? Are you alright?”, asked Silver Bde, her voice betraying her worry.

  “I’m fine. Quick, dodge!”

  Liam spoke urgently but it was already too te. Silver Bde missed the dark circle surrounding her and failed to react as a cw made from bck magic smmed down from the sky.

  “No!”

  “Silver!”

  The party members shouted anxiously as their tank disappeared withiack. Radiant Shield felt a drop of sweat running down his forehead. He had barely evaded the cw, feeling its sinister air on his skin.

  [-542!]

  The others felt reassured seeing the damage number. Attag Silver Bde with magical damage proved futile as always. However, only Liam khe real horror of this skill.

  “Silver, use [Steadfast]!”

  Silver Bde, still engulfed by the bck cw, plied without hesitation. A rge illusionary shield appeared around her for a sed before disappearing into her body.

  Steadfast was a skill which could only be used within three seds after receiving magical damage. For the five minutes any ining damage would be reduced by a certain amount based on Silver Bde’s magical defense.

  Simultaneously a ghost face floated above Silver Bde, letting out a bone-chilling ughter.

  With a g her status Silver Bde uood that she had been cursed. Damage numbers popped up above her in quick succession.

  [-89!]

  [-89!]

  [-89!]

  The ulped heavily seeing Silver Bde lose almost one hundred HP every half a sed. Cye imagined herself iank’s pd khat she would be done for without Balm’s heal.

  Just as the mage resolved herself to remain vigint, a bck circled appeared around her.

  ented her fate, hastily dodging to the side. However, the quient broke her tration, interrupting her cast.

  “Stupid boss! Coward! Let me cast if you dare!”

  The devil child in the air only scoffed looking at the cw which had hit nothing. He retracted it, aiming for another pce.

  The party members had already seen the horror of this skill. They paid full attention, dodging the attacks quickly. Uratnim didn’t mao deal more damage before he was seemingly out of fuel, slowly sinking back to the ground.

  As soon as the bck magiveloping him vahe boss was weled by attacks from all dires.

  Bloody Edge appeared out of stealth, apanied by four blinding daggers which tried to nail the Devil Child down. Although the stun didn’t trigger, he still followed up quickly with [Deadly Light].

  [-65!]

  [-40!]

  The thief frowned upon seeing his low damage.

  “Hopefully you will give me a good dagger, devil!”

  “I! Are you already thinking about the spoils of war?”

  The devil child gred at Bloody Edge, swiping at him with a swift turn of his body.

  “Damn, the aggro got reset! Silver!”

  The devil’s move caught Liam off guard. This was once again a differeo his past life. Luckily Silver Bde’s eyes never left Uratnim.

  In a fsh she appeared before Bloody Edge, shielding him behind her body.

  “Reliable as always!”, praised Cye happily while flourishing her wand, initiating a new round of attacks.

  The party watched with anticipation as the boss’s HP gradually emptied out.

  “He’s almost down!”

  “Ha! Easy!”

  “Guess I will take the st hit again!”, procimed Fortune proudly as the cast for her are bolts was almost finished.

  However, Liam unfortunately had to crush her hopes. He noticed the ghost beads gathering in a particur pattern, cirg Uratnim.

  Instantly a bck shield hid the boss.

  “Draw back! It’s the ghost skill again!”

  Fortuched with an open mouth as the party members retreated quickly. Holdiaff with a bright tip, she asked in a forlorn voice:

  “But… what about my are bolts?”

  “If you hold them until the skill is done, I will call you a genius!”, excimed Liam half-jokingly.

  Fortune’s eyes though lit up with motivation.

  “Don’t fet your promise!”

  “Sure!”

  Cye overheard the exge, immediately cheering for her idol:

  “Show him! Fortune! Fortune!”

  “Haha, thanks!”

  At this moment the first bck ghost came for Fortuhe determined mage ehe backsh, taking a step to the side. Immediately she could feel the mana in her body threatening to go out of trol.

  Although this dealt no damage, the sensation was far from pleasant. It was a challeo every caster who wao cast while moving. If they lost their tration, the skill would be lost and go on cooldown.

  In Liam’s old life the best mages were able to perform multiple Fsh Steps while casting. But at this point he was already impressed that Fortune could take a siep without faltering.

  And her performance hadn’t ended yet. Anhost bared its fangs, eager to take a bite out of the geous human. Fortune forcefully calmed her breath and jumped to the side.

  “Oh no!”

  Suddenly Quickstep excimed in embarrassment. Watg Fortune had distracted her for a moment, which a ghost instantly made use of. A freezing cold invaded her as the illusionary being traveled through her body.

  [-1192!]

  Notig the huge k of her HP which was missing, Quickstep admonished herself. A mistake like this was not acceptable for her as a pro pyer.

  [+672!]

  A fortable energy washed over Quickstep, chasing out the ess. She hankfully at Balm while [Regeion] slowly brought her back to full HP.

  “Damn, that guy has to be deliberately targeting me!”

  A distressed voice could suddenly be heard. Fortune spoke through gritted teeth as atack advaowards her.

  The mage’s thoughts moved quickly. Feeling the pressure on her head she surmised that she wouldn’t be able to uphold her cast if she took aep.

  Fortune g Quickstep. She did a quick estimation before deg to stay in pce.

  Closing her eyes the ut all her tration on her own body, doing her best to keep the mana under trol.

  At this moment a ess ran through her blood, flesh, and bones. Fortune couldn’t help but shudder. Her mana instantly looked like it would slow down.

  [-1620!]

  No, no…

  Fortuhered every bit of her will. She was determio overe her own limits today.

  Just one more sed… one more…

  “Genius, open your eyes! We need you to kill something!”

  Liam’s voice filled with praise reached Fortune’s ears. The mage’s eyes suddenly shot open, appearing bloodred and exhausted. She didn’t think much, instantly unleashing all her are bolts on the first thing she saw.

  After the devil child’s skill ehe shield around his body didn’t disappear. Instead, it suddeed a strong su force.

  The ghosts which seemed to have dissolved after traveling a certain distance mystically reappeared. They turned into bergy, rushing into the shield.

  Gradually the shield ged into a giant ferocious ghost wearing bck armor and proteg Untrim in its core.

  But as soon as it was formed, bolts of trated magibarded its body. Even without aiming closely it was difficult to miss the tall body. Five of Fortune’s are bolts smmed into it, pierg holes through the ghost.

  [-304!]x5

  The ghost let out a painful wail, its terrifying eyes staring at the mage.

  “Good job genius! You rest, we will take over now!”

  Fortu an indescribable feeling of aowledgement hearing the wenius’ from Liam’s mouth. The st time she felt fulfilled like this was when one of her videos broke the ten million view mark within 24 hours.

  Liam himself didn’t think much about it though. He looked at the less than five hundred HP the tall ghost had left.

  “Quick, kill it before it attack Fortune!”

  “Yes!”

  Instantly the magid swords crashed into the ghost. It wasn’t given any ce. With a loud bang its body broke apart revealing Untrim’s small body.

  The devil child had clear signs of exhaustion on his face, sinking slowly to the ground.

  He was at once weled by Liam who held back just now. [Cross Ssh] and [Double Ssh] crashed into the devil child’s body.

  “Phenaroa! This won’t be the end!”

  Untrim shouted in a dry voice, looking into the distah shaking eyes.

  Gritting his teeth he poi one of his ghost beads. Thousands of wails sounded as the bead suddenly exploded. The etlefield shook. Liam and his friends were pushed backwards.

  They watched helplessly as a bck portal like a pool viscous oil appeared below the devil child, who was quickly swallowed up.

  “Don’t you dare to escape without leaving your loot behind!”, shouted Cye angrily.

  As if it heard her, the portal tracted. A bright light erupted momentarily before subsiding and revealing a bck chest.
