Hello again, another Monday, another chapter. As I said in a previous chapter, I am writing chapters to a new fanfic that will be posted after this one. The anime that that one is based off of is The Familiar of Zero and it is glorious. I don't own that anime by the way, It is just awesome.

Scyrus' P.O.V

I ate breakfast and walked back to the inn. I sharpened my sword and loaded my gun while the other two were sleeping. When they finally got up I grabbed them and pulled them over to the entrance of the dungeon.

"Okay guys, this boss is the last one you are supposed to beat before you get to the last boss. Playing legit, that is." They both nodded. We walked in weapons drawn.

The first enemy was a guardian titan, and it got harder from then on. The rest of the dungeon took longer than anticipated and it was an hour or two before we got to the end.

The boss room was a challenge to enter as well, we ended up having to backtrack to find an enemy that drops a key for the door. We found the guy and I happily cleaved him in two.

When we first opened the door, the boss was nowhere to be found. "wha…" we looked around and I began walking to where the backup was stored until it hit me… almost. "waittaminute, Angel…" I swore and jumped out of the way of the titanic being that slammed into the ground where I was standing.

Kirito fired a few rounds into the boss from his new gun and charged it with his sword. "Titan Hammer!" the sword was wrapped in a red glow and when it hit the boss, the boss slid back a few feet. I materialized the staff and fired a black laser into the boss.

This continued until the boss landed a hit on Asuna with its blade and she was thrown into a corner. Kirito sheathed his sword and ran to her side. I looked at the boss as it followed him and I threw a magic missile to get its attention.

"Arcane Arsenal: The Ancient Titan!" my staff was wreathed in black smoke and the smoke formed a scythe around it. I unleashed a volley of slashes and stabs with the blade and the boss' health went down steadily until it hit the red.

When it did, I knocked the giant back and cast a new spell. "Arcane Arsenal: The Exicutioner!" the smoke reformed from a scythe to a battle axe. I gestured to the boss and smoke chains shot from the ground, anchoring the boss to the floor.

I held the axe and planted my feet "you have been judged and sentenced." I swung the axe over my head and lopped off the head of the boss causing it to vaporize. "Sentence: death."

I went over to the side of the room and grabbed a silver suitcase that held the code of the backup control program, a modified version of the original cardinal program. Kirito carried Asuna out and turned to me.

"where now?" he asked me. "up" I pointed to a segment of cloud cover that disappeared as soon as I pointed, revealing a massive flying castle. "Castrum de Caelo, the castle in the sky." I equipped the aerofoil and shot up towards the castle.

Okay, I am proud of this. This chapter made up for the filler of the last one and then some. If you liked, drop a review. If you didn't, review anyway!
