Hellooo, just a few more chapters left… yea. I liked writing this and my next story will hopefully be on a similar level of awesome. So, on with the story.
Scyrus' P.O.V
I landed on the floating island and rushed to the bazaar of weapon shops that were set up there. I filled my inventory with magic rings, talismans, amulets, and anything else that would boost my magic. Kirito and Asuna landed a few minutes later.
I walked over to them. "grab your cash and stock up" they walked over to the shops and began buying weapons and armor. Kirito got a new pair of swords and a pistol, Asuna got a new wand and rapier. I went to the Armorsmith and got my suit upgraded.
Half an hour later we were armed and armored in top-tier gear. Kirito looked intimidating in his armored coat, and Asuna looked the part of the "bezerk healer" with a new set of armored robes. I looked at the two of them and back at myself. My hands were stocked with magic rings, my suit was covered in humming runes, and my sword and gun were at the ready. We were ready for war.
Kirito's P.O.V
Scyrus kicked open the dungeon door and we were met by a pair of massive flaming sentinels. Asuna and Scyrus froze both of them and I shattered them with my swords. We walked through the twisting corridors of the massive stone and steel castle, every enemy was harder than the last.
Dead ends and traps were littered throughout the castle and they sent us running through the halls. Sentinel after sentinel, guardian after guardian, even a miniboss or two. And through all of that, Scyrus went bezerk. He slaughtered high level enemies, shattered magic barriers, and walked through a flame trap without so much as a mark on his suit.
We made our way deeper and deeper into the castle until we found the boss room. It was guarded by two men. A little taller than us and very imposing. One was heavily armored and carried a massive claymore, the other was lithe and carried a pair of glowing daggers.
Before we attacked them, Scyrus stopped us. "I have a warning for you, these two and the boss are harder than the other three combined." He put his arm down and pulled out his immensely powerful weapons. And all together, we attacked.
Asuna and I took the assassin looking one while Scyrus went head-to-head with the brute. The assassin was too fast for any of my attacks so I turned up the device Scyrus had given me and I felt the strength and speed of my blows increase.
Meanwhile, Scyrus was in a stalemate of swordplay until he disarmed the brute and stabbed it in the back with a kunai, which promptly exploded. The brute was knocked down and its armor was cracked in places. It went back to clashing with Scyrus.
Asuna threw a debuff at the assassin that slowed its movements. I was able to attack and I carved a chunk of its health off. Asuna drew her sword and we whittled down the rest of its health. We then attacked the one attacking Scyrus and finished it off.
Scyrus turned towards the door, gun and blade held tightly. "two of the three, which means number three is in there." He pointed toward the door. I looked at him, "three?" he nodded "the third is likely mind controlled by the ai like these two. You two take him and I'll take the ai." And he pushed open the door.
BOOM, action chapter. I wanted a separate chapter for the final boss and this fit in nicely. Expect action, combat, and a little something-something courtesy of me.
