Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Three VS Boss?

[Author Note: This one isn't edited either.]

Change of POV: 3rd POV

As James pushed the wooden gate leading towards the 'Boss-Room', they saw it.

It's a wide area, enough for 50 people to squeeze in.

Every single corner of the room is littered with torches. 

Blue-Flame torches to be precise, making a wide 'circle' around the Boss-Room.

But their attention shifted to 'a figure' standing upright in the middle of the room.

Figure is that of a' Half Wolf-Half Man', a werewolf if you will.

Head of a wolf, body of a man. Brown fur coating it's entire body, sharp and long claws on it's hands it.

And it has hind legs.

The creature sniffed for a moment, before it abruptly turned it's head in their direction.

Immediately, Tankers sensing the Danger that Werewolf posed, readied themselves in front of Morgan, with their shields position in front and their swords respectively behind them. Just so they could strike at any moment if a need arises.

Morgan gripped her [Kasaka's Venom Fang Spear] tightly, her hands turning white from the pressure.

Her 'Sense' statistics allow her to 'sense' the danger that this creature posed to her specifically.

A sweat rolled down her cheek as she breathed..

She looked at her [Mini-Stats].

[HP: 2,200]

[MP: 40]

She has MP only for four more [Firebolt]'s, so with that in mind, she sidestepped from Tankers for one second, before extending her palm towards 'Werewolf who continues sniffing' them. And she fired.

" [Firebolt]!" A ball of fire extended from her palm before rapidly approaching the curious Werewolf.

Werewolf narrowed it's menacing yellow eyes at ball of flames before simply side-stepping from the flame's path. Causing [Firebolt] to continue 'going' till it hit walls of the boss-room, causing nothing but small explosion.

Morgan gritted her teeth.

'This wolf..' She though before stepping back behind two Tankers. She is taking a role of leader and spearman right now. They are going to win this by battle of attrition .

Or that was the plan.

Werewolf decided it was right time for it to stop wasting time and get straight to the point. With it's speed, it rushed towards the three Hunters

But, even though it was a Boss, Hunters were able to perceive it's movements very clearly. And soon it was upon them.

First, with it's entire strength, with right arm it punched James' shield straight in the center, now it didn't make any damage to shield itself, but the force and impact of it's punch caused James to be pushed back three meters, as ground beneath his feet 'cracked slightly and made 'straight line from his footprints' as he was pushed back.

James face did not waver, and Morgan managed to sidestep just in time before James was crashed into her.

But monster shifted it's attention to Elisa, but Elisa wasn't about to waste a perfect opening is she? Just when Werewolf punched James shield, Elisa moved. 

Just in time when Werewolf was about to turn it's head in Elisa's direction, Elisa was in front of it, her Long-Sword raised vertically, as if in attempt to cut the monster down in half from head to toe.

But Werewolf as if sensing danger, moved back. But it underestimated Elisa's Long-Sword's range, and just in time her Long-Sword made contact with Werewolf's head, or rather it's left eye, successfully cutting it's eye, leaving a nasty scar on it's face.

~Growl~ A damned werewolf growled as it backed away from Hunters and it clutched it's bleeding 'eye' that won't see the light of the 'torches' ever again.

"Nice one! Elisa, one eye less!" Morgan commented, but her joy was quickly crushed by James next words.

"Eyes don't matter to Werewolfs and Wolf-like Magic Beasts, their main sensory abilities come from their sensitive noses. Eye loss will make it less than optional to rush at us blindly like it just did a moment ago." Elaborated James, but then he added. " And it also means that Werewolf is most likely going to target the weakest out of us first..."

Immediately, both Elisa and James looked at each other before looking at Morgan behind, who paled slightly but due to her already 'pale skin' it didn't show much.

But they all tensed slightly.

For next following moments, the wounded Werewolf did not attack.

Instead it circled them.

It circled them as one would their prey.

It analysed them?

It tried to 'understand them'?

James and Elisa moved constantly, constantly shifting their positions so Morgan would be in middle of their formation.

And that's what caught Werewolf's attention

It's face suddenly split into vicious grin. 

It's satisfied, it knew. It knew who is 'easiest' member of the Humans in front of it to kill, and who could be 'their King'.

It though, it did not proceeded to attack.

It rubbed it;s left eye, where Elisa managed to wound it. Then it brought it's right arm with blood, blood from it's body to it's mouth.

Then it licked it's own blood.

It crouched.

It took something like, a 'cat' pose?

It was a preparation, preparation for inevitable jump at 'one of them'.

Hunters shifted, they prepared. They obviously caught on what creature wanted to accomplish.

And they will certainly allow it to 'try'. After all, there is no easier target than 'a creature in air that cannot change it's trajectory'.

So three of them patiently waited.

Then it leaped, it's trajectory was none other than 'Morgan'. Middle of Hunters formation.

And then it understood, it made a fatal mistake.

It forgot that, 'Small blue haired Human' is capable of Magic.

Originally, it was ten meters away from them. When it leaped, it almost reached then in under two seconds. But those seconds were enough for Morgan to act.

When Morgan's instincts screamed at her to raise her hand, she did.

Werewolf leaped, i'ts leap moving fast.

But it's directly in Morgan's line of sight.

Then Morgan fired.

"[Firebolt]!" A fireball fired off from Morgan's left palm, it meet up with Werewolf's upper body.

And exploded.

~BOMB!~

But it didn't much beside causing immense annoyance and pain towards Werewolf, and changing it's leap's trajectory, so instead of landing at Morgan, it landed on James.

James who anticipated this moment, raised his shield above him, and with all his strength he struck the Werewolf, sending it flying towards James left, 10 meters before Werewolf successfully crashed on cave-ground.

But now, without smoke they were able to 'analyse' damage that Boss sustained.

Uncontrollable blood loss from it's left eye, now it's entire bodies doesn't even have one 'hair' at all.

It's a hairless Werewolf with 3rd degree burns across it's entire body.

Werewolf attempted to stand up, but it fell on ground once again.

Howling in pain and misery.

Seeing this, three Hunters were not ones to enjoy the suffering of others in pain, even if those are Magic Beasts, especially mindless Magic Beasts who do not know anything else beside guarding their respective dungeons.

And they did not waste time, they slowly with every single yet deliberate step approached fallen down Boss.

But Morgan couldn't help but be suspicious, [Firebolt] is a E-Rank Spell that has capability to 'mortally' injure a Low-Class being, but this Werewolf should be peak D-Rank meaning Peak Low-Class or it should be Low- C-Rank, meaning weaker Mid-Class being.

Yet to be injured to this extent, that it could not move..

Seems quite suspicious, and that's why they slowly approached it. 

Two Tankers flanking Morgan, as she walked in middle of them.

And soon they were in front of 'Half-Dead Werewolf', Morgan took s step forward.

And as she was about to stab the Werewolf.

Werewolf stood up in instant, it's claws approaching Morgan's face in almost 'instant-like speed'.

But Morgan was on guard entire time, she took one step back on instinct.

And it screamed end for pitiful Werewolf. As Morgan stepped back, She used her [Kasaka's Venom Fang's Spear] to stab the damn cowardly thing in the stomach.

Immediately activating 'Paralysis' ability of Kasaka's Venom.

And then, Elisa took her action by slicing off Werewolf's arms that were moments ago away from Morgan's face.

And James with all his strength, gripped his Great-Sword with all his might before bringing it down vertically on Werewolf. 

Cutting down from head to toe.

[ Eliminated Mid-Class]

[Gold Earned: 100]

[Warning: First achievement from that [Player] cooperated in. Since [Player] cooperated in Eliminations, eliminations in question shall add amount of experience points as if [Player] herself killed the enemy.]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[LEVEL UP!]

[Level Achieved: 13]

Morgan sighed with relief, it seems that she leveled up three times by killing a 'Mid-Class' being, till now they only killed Goblins and Rakians, both Magic Beasts are Human-Class +. Not strong enough to be Low-Class.

And suddenly she was forced to fight from Human-Class+ level into Mid-Class directly.

She should mention that while Werewolf was 'Cunning' it was not 'really intelligent'. If it was 1v1, she would have lost badly. Only reason she one was because of 'Power of friendship.'

~Cough~ Teamwork. 

But the main problem is her body, while she might be 'Mid-Class' now, she can't 'extract entire strength', due to her un-developed body.

She sighed what it is it is.

[ E-Rank Dungeon will close in 10 Minutes] A [System] warning in 'shape of screen' appeared in her mind before ' a gate appeared in front of them'.

That same gate leads them back to her bedroom.

Whenever they finish clearing a Dungeon, a 'portal' will open for them to exit, that same portal is the one leading towards the 'starter point' or where they entered.

If they enter into 'Dungeon' in a shop or clothing store and they finish clearing the Dungeon, a portal will open for them to exit the dungeon, leading to 'Clothing Store'.

That's how it works and it's neat.

"~Sigh, anyway thank you two. I'll contact someone to give you a raise." Morgan said before all three of them walked towards the portal.

James grinned. " Ah raise! I can exceed the numbers of beers I WILL drink this month!" He proclaimed, as Elisa snorted beside him.

"Men and their beers!" She exclaimed before nudging James with her elbow. " Let's go for a wine. And~ Maybe~ Something ~ Special~ Pretty~ Boy~?" She sang, as her voice suddenly shifted from her 'rough and bad attempt at manly sound to a sultry one.'

Morgan just face-palmed at this. 

She can't deal with them like this!

-Location -Change

Kuoh Academy.

Kuoh Academy, normally a place where Students could learn and adapt is now nothing like it.

No, now it's a battlefield.

Barrier set around whole School, a Peerage of Devils and Exorcist versus a Fallen Angel.

Leading Peerage of Devils is none other than Cleria Belial, a beautiful young woman, with well 'gifted' body in all 'right places' as one pervert Sage would say, with beautiful face, sharp grey eyes narrowed in frown.

And her long flowing gray hair go well along with her eyes. 

A sweat rolling down her ears as she gasped for air. 

Cleria Belial is not only born in 'High-Class' standing, but she herself has power of a High-Class Devil. A rarity in current generation of Devils who only get lazier and lazier over time and post-pone their training.

And only abuse their 'birth right'. 

She stood side by side with Masaomi Yaegaki, a priest in training from Church but full-fledged exorcist. 

Almost reaching High-Class himself. 

And what about Cleria's Peerage? Her peerage is small one to begin with.

A Queen that's almost High-Class Devil, she is unconscious from Magic Exhaustion. Her form carefully placed away from danger.

Three powerful Pawns, almost Mid-Class themselves are barely managing to uphold the barrier over Kuoh Town, to contain ludicrous amount of Magical Power that Kokabiel wasn't containing to himself but releasing constantly at ridiculous amounts.

Even for High-Ultimate Class.

Cleria's Rook and Knight are both unconscious, struck down pretty hard by Kokabiel's fists.

Cleria took a breath, she did not expect that her last moments will be dying together with an Exorcist young man she was always at throat with.

But then, her eyes sharpened, if eyes could kill then Kokabiel would have been dead thousands times over by now. She glared at him with full force.

But this only caused Kokabiel to grin even further, in delight and potential prospects in 'squashing' a Devil like bug.

'But at least. My cousin will avenge me!' Cleria though to herself, just as she prepared to cast anther spell towards Kokabiel.

But then, something happened.

The barrier around Kuoh Academy Instantly shattered.

But it's not because of Kokabiel's energy, nor it was because someone broke it from outside.

White-transparent like barrier was broken because 'Another one and stronger one' replaced it.

This time, a green barrier.

Author Note: I think's time for MC to start buying more spells for herself, soon another time-skip.

Probably 2 months just so MC can summon 'National-Level Hunter'. 

Then probably another 1 year-time skip.

+ Yuuto Kiba introduction into 'Kuoh Elementary' School. I'll see what I can and plan to do.
