Concluding their investigation with Kizmel and the storyteller, the quest wouldn't update until the day after, with Kizmel informing the pair the Doctor had returned to Algade after they learned more on the past through Bolt's Journal. When they arrived to continue with the boss questline, the doctor was ecstatic, notes and books strewn across her workbench, and she appeared to have been drinking a lot of coffee with the distinct smell lingering in the air.
"Yesterday was a truly revolutionary experience! We even deciphered the blueprint! I've not a single complaint, excellent work you two!" Bevel praised them both. Then, she gathered up a bunch of things and shovelled them into a bag. "We mustn't let this momentum go to waste! Let's go right back to the golem factory to further our investigation!"
That had them both slump a bit, confused a bit, so after a quick game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Argo won so Nagi sighed slightly and turned to question the Doctor. "But wouldn't we have already discovered points of interest? With how many people are down there, the furthest chambers would've been cleared,"
She swiveled, nearly taking his head off with her hand swung out to raise a finger. "Irrelevant! We'll be heading for an area that's never been explored before! It is home to an unbelievable amount of golems, the ferocity in which they attack intruders is unbelievable as well!"
"Sounds about right to what I've heard, we'll be dippin' our toes in the deeper waters herE," Argo crossed her arms, a little unsure on how the two of them will fare. Likely, they'll need to take things slow, drawing away smaller numbers to whittle them down.
"Ah, so you do understand, my assistant!? Beyond their guard must be an area most vital! This here is the very essence of adventure, is it not!?" Bevel declared, packed and moving with haste for the door. "No need to fret, I have taken all into consideration. None of this is possible without your abilities. Go clear the way for my brilliance!" And like that, she marched on, the quest updating for them to meet her at the destination.
Once gone, Argo ran her hands over her eyes. "This quest is a real big ol' pain in my... it's a very long and tedious escort questlinE,"
"But we can't really argue with results, this Heart Core must be linked to the Floor Boss, so we know we're on the right track," Nagi reminded her to help boost the Rat's morale, earning a light jab to his side as he chuckled from it.
"I hate when you're right, because I know it's right, I just didn't want to admit iT," Argo bottled up her grievances for the sake of juicy intel, and waved her hand for Nagi to follow, tugging up her hood again, letting out a dramatic sigh to the ceiling with her eyes closed. "Let's not get 'er killeD,"
"Aye, sir," With a silly salute, Nagi was right behind her.
|Floor 50, Magic Arsenal Vault|
|Jan. 17th, 11:08|
Down in a similar chamber to the one before, with many containment pods for the suspended golems, the duo found Bevel wasn't lying about the quantity of Pyrite and Graphite Golems in the area, as though they had only appeared in greater force due to their arrival. With a wave of water at his back, Nagi glided through the line of golems, leaving them severely crippled or on the verge of death, utilizing Iai to clear through the large group.
With their Hate targeting him, none of them paid heed to the charge effect closing in, Argo jumped, pulling her arms back before driving the right through the head of the first Graphite golem, swinging over its shattering corpse, her left swung horizontally, leaving deep gashes through two Pyrite golems. Kicking off her heel, she twirled to slash horizontally with her right, then repeated this same motion on two other Graphite elementals. Argo finished off the final golem with one wide sweep from her left, leaving a downpour of polygons at her back as her eyes practically glowed in the dark.
"..." Nagi felt a little hot in the face, averting his eyes quickly with a smile. "T-the way's clear, Doctor! Let's hurry before they respaw - before more show up!" He even stuttered a bit, rubbing his neck. "That was really hot for some reason..."
"Bravo, my assistants!" Bevel marched on for another two minutes, reaching an empty space with a dead-end. "This is the spot!"
The wall ahead of them looked pretty generic, what with a cubic design for the texture and two columns with straight vertical and horizontal purple energy strips through it. Nagi tilted his head a bit, trying to see what they had to do. "So... it's a secret door?"
"Precisely! The notes say it's a massive door moveable by way of magi-tech! Pressing these coloured tiles like so..." By the left-hand side of the door, a grid of nine stood out, Bevel pressing each unnumbered key in a sequence by following her book slowly. After about twelve inputs, the whole grid flashed yellow around the edges. "This should do it, and... Voila!"
The whole wall buckled, the stone grinding against the floor as decades of stasis took it a while to open inward, using the columns as a frame to swing open towards a large square chamber littered with crates and abandoned devices around the edges. A circular platform taking up most of the floor with the walls channelling more of that strange light into line streaks up the walls to the ceiling. A hardlight barrier around two feet tall wrapping around the edges of the circular platform, leaving gaps at the cardinal points.
"Nothing is impossible for this Innovative Inventrix! Hahahahahaha!" Bevel cackled at her mad genius as her assistances sweat dropped a little, following her inside to investigate further. But it didn't take long for something to catch their eyes instantly once the doors were opened fully.
"...! T-that's...!" Nagi gasped, looking towards the center of the chamber.
The remains of a large golem clustered in a pile collecting dust sat before them, the colours of its crystals darkened and dull. Compared to the golems outside, it was far less refined, comprised of raw materials dug straight from the earth.
"The Azure Fighter... rather, 'Amethyst' would be a better word for iT..." Argo murmured, feeling extremely uneasy about this place, the hairs on the back of her neck hadn't gone down. "Don't like the look of this, HerO..."
"Plus, the Azure variant wasn't this big either," That definitely made Nagi worry for how big the Floor Boss would be if this wasn't even it, thankfully, not active.
"Splendid! Wonderful, my assistants! Just look at this massive golem! Not only is it complete, it's been so well preserved that it's alive!" Bevel clearly had no regard for her safety as she inspected the pile of rubble that was the golem.
"Hold up a sec, Doc, yer sayin' you can get this thing movin' agaiN?" Hearing this, Argo really didn't like the idea of waking the big brother of the Azure Fighter anytime soon.
"Precisely! A cursory look found no notable malfunctions. You could think of it like a sleeping human," She explained in simpler terms. "Further investigation is needed to make a definitive statement, but we should be able to wake it up, if only we knew how..." While the doctor was puzzled by this ordeal, Argo shook her head quickly, moving closer to keep the NPC from triggering some event.
"I'm all for proddin' for dangers and the like, but not when we're this short-staffed, ain't no way we wakin' this thing up from its naP," Argo could only just about handle standard golems, but what could potentially be the Field Boss? Only Nagi had the strength to contend with it, but even he'd be killed trying to fight it off alone.
While the girls had their disagreement, Nagi decided to inspect the chassis further with just his eyes, not wanting to trigger anything. He murmured, squinting his eyes at something. "There's something written on the golem's body... 'Blueite Golem 00'? Isn't that mentioned in the Journal...?" Just then, a series of beeping sounds like rainfall caught his ears. "...!"
The two finally took their eyes off each other to see Nagi staring at the golem with a mixture of trepidation and bewilderment. "Somethin' up, HerO?"
"It... sounds like something's moving..." He murmured softly.
Bevel was quick to dismiss this claim, "Don't be ridiculous, my assistant! This place has been sealed until now, it'd be impossible for anything other than us to mov-"
The light returned to the golem's gemstone hide with a pulse and whirl, instantly, Nagi leapt forward, tackling Bevel and Argo away as the railgun-like arm swept overhead, the rocks realigning slowly as it grasped its bearings again. "Doctor Bevel, stand back!" Nagi warned sharply, seeing her quickly retreat behind one of the hardlight barriers closer to the entryway. Argo stood up just as fast, keeping her claws brandished. "Sorry, guess I woke it..."
"Worry about it later, let's take 'em down, done it before, righT!?" Argo wasn't in the mood to be pointing fingers anyway.
"Right!" Nagi sheathed NightSky, holding it tightly to prepare himself.
Stone and purple crystals made up the segmented body. A bulky chassis of amethyst purple crystal with a stony back, a smaller cluster below it, There was a rounded deposit to its right and a large, jagged piece that formed a prong with a crystal protruding from the top with clusters lodged in the back of it. It made a wordless howl of sorts from within, and the name emerged in blood red, four health bars manifesting.
/NM Blueite Golem 00 - Lv. 81\
Blueite thrust its lance arm forward, the pair evading in time as a cluster of crystals jutted from the ground for a few seconds, grazing them before sinking back into the earth. Then, the orb spun around on its right side, firing at Nagi who ran around its bulky frame, seeing the small deposits of lilac crystal burst behind him. Three shots and counting. Pivoting after the third, Nagi drew NightSky, burning waves of deep blue water flourishing in two arcs side-to-side. "Solstice Haze!"
The damage only made a scratch, roughly 3%. Nagi gasped, inverting his katana against his right side to block the sweep of the lance with a loud clang as his shoes slid across the ground against the lance, thrown by a flick of the rocky arm into one of the hardlight barriers, damaging him a little. Argo was targeted after, herself evading the ranged crystal bursts and a follow-up slam of the lance that conjured another wave of crystals, but she was light on her feet, weaving between them to jump and run along the lance, amber claws glowing brilliantly as she spun down the top of the chassis and down the chest in three spirals, weaving knitted arcs of light through Blueite.
"SwitcH!" She hollered, performing a handstand to evade another wave of crystals, Nagi's blade cleaving down the minerals and lower-half of the chassis with Iai, the water splashing through the air behind him in an ultramarine stroke.
Turning fast, Nagi narrowly avoided the first burst of crystals, drawing NightSky to parry the second and third with wide slashes; clasping tightly, he grit his teeth when the lance was brought down atop his head, purple crystals spreading out around him as some dug into his legs, holding up the larger limb. "S-switch!" Using Striking Wave, the surge of water pressure followed the thrust, pushing the arm off his blade long enough for a vicious vertical slash, swatting it high for Argo.
She kept low, digging her claws into the swaying limb to swing herself atop, repeating her action from before with Raptor Flurry, arms rapidly tearing side to side, hopping from the arm to Blueite's chassis to bring her sixth swing straight down with a splash of amber particles. Combined, they've done around a single quarter of damage, and the golem still had three gauges after that.
"Thing's tougher than it looks... how're we gonna beat thi - Aah!" Argo winced when the lance struck her directly, crystals slashing at her petite frame, punting her back on all fours when the air grew hotter, and the center of the chassis' crystal turned hot-white. Without even a millisecond to guess, Argo dove aside as a thin beam split through the mineral, leaving a burning streak straight through the ground and up the furthest wall.
Blueite raised its arm back, thrusting it again towards the informant had Nagi's blade not snuck between the two prongs, twisting at an angle to block the arm and hold it back from creating more crystals, one of the prongs digging into his side. "NagI!" Argo got up hastily to help him, seeing his arms buckle as sparks nipped at NightSky.
"It's so heavy...!" Nagi felt his legs beginning to strain under the pressure. "A-Argo... get the doc... out, I got this!" He seethed, a current forming from the hilt to the tip of the blade. Then, with two winding arcs, Nagi pushed the lance back with Ichimonji, splashing the ground. "I can handle this, but you can barely take more than four hits before your health plummets too far, so go!"
Nothing about this sat right with Argo, her face contorting to something between frustration and fright, genuine fear resting in her orbs. "No... no, I ain't doin' that, don't... tell me to tuck my tail and ruN!"
"I'm not telling you to run and leave me!" Nagi yelled, keeping his eyes on the Blueite golem adjusting its form after the stunning blade slam. "You're the fastest player in this game, if anyone can get out of the dungeon and message help in time, it's you... so go," He squeezed his katana tighter, craning his head to look at Argo with a serene smile. "Do what only Argo the Rat can do, Hosaka,"
She wanted to yell at him, even knock him out and drag him out with her, but... hiding her eyes with her hood, she grit her teeth and turned away. "Don't go killin' yerself like some dumbass hero... KaitO,"
"Promise," Suddenly, he pushed her back as he jumped, avoiding the first crystal burst before slashing away the others. "Go, now!"
Thankfully, Argo listened and ran off, dragging Bevel with her, leaving Nagi alone to run around the arena to prepare, Blueite following him as he procured several colourful vials from his quick-menu. "Thanks, Artorias," He drank them all between his fingers, discarding the bottles instantly once all the effects took place. The mixtures of potion accumulated into two distinct buffs. Stat Increase Large and Cooldown Reduction Medium, the last a very limited potion that Artorias couldn't make on a whim. So he had to make it count here.
Grasping NightSky in one hand, Nagi pushed off his right foot, a river flowing with him. "Solar Brilliance!" Drawing his blade forward, thrusting four times against the beast's mighty arm as he slid beneath it, evading the barrage of crystals, flipping onto his knees in time to draw the powerful, horizontal slant across the underside of its chassis, digging his nails in behind it to break his slide. Once the post-motion faded, his blade erupted into boiling water once again, lunging as the orb spun around to fire three bursts.
Nagi's first three slashes were wide enough to cut down the projectiles whilst nicking the hardened back of Blueite as it turned to face him. Keeping steady, Nagi moved in a winding current, evading around the prod of the lance, sweeping curved slashes throughout the length of the limb and down into the radiant crystal body. "Conflagration!" The eighth slash buried deep into its torso when a floating spear of crystal behind it struck down, puncturing his stomach and flinging Nagi down to earth again.
He tumbled but caught himself and dove right back into a charge, blade drawn to his side violently, casting a fountain in his wake that coiled into the body and maw of a roaring dragon. The boss charged its lazer again, but Nagi effortlessly avoided the beam, but saw it fire three more crystal bursts. Twisting his hips, he spun into a flurry of slashes, cutting down each blast when the lance plunged to the ground, erecting a wall of crystals to slash at Nagi's legs, making him stumble into his leap.
"Ack... Renewal!" He seethed, keeping the dance alive and well, spinning into a barrel roll over the lance, slashing it three times during his ascension. Blueite flung its arm high to swat Nagi off, bending his toes against the ceiling, sustaining impact damage. "Renewal!" Another half to his health, drawing it down into the dark amber. Wordlessly howling with the aquatic dragon, Nagi dove straight for the golem, shattering the projectiles in his way. "Dance of the Water Dragon - Times Nine!"
Arching his body, he drew his horizontal halo vertically, the great dragon colliding with the peak of the field boss, a cascade of water drawn down the large gash through its chassis. Nagi exhaled sharply, wincing when several crystals plunged into his side, tossing him away despite leaving a substantial hit on the boss. Through squinted eyes, he saw the first health bar was under halfway now.
Pulling himself upright with NightSky, Nagi grabbed a healing crystal, "Heal," But his weak reply yielded no results, and strangely, a half-hearted laugh escaped his chalky lips. "...Anti-Crystal, huh? That's the 50th for you..." Stumbling a bit, Nagi had about two hits left before Blueite wiped him out. "One safety net... and three and a half health bars..."
Steadying his heart, Nagi's eyes became like burning embers, sipping on a Hi-Potion, one of three he had left, giving him a small boost to his health again. Then, he lunged forward, using every skill within his capabilities. Whirlwind Slash took care of the projectiles, Ichimonji stunned it after a secondary slam. Serpent Slash into Striking Wave, Dragon's Breath pushed Blueite's lance away, Rushing Water Undulation to follow suit.
Riding Tide and seconds after, Scarlet Fang down its torso. Ripple Thrust in conjunction with Iai to sweep away the crystals, using his second health pot. Rising Sun, Solstice Haze, Solar Brilliance, and Conflagration in rapid succession, finally bringing the boss' first health bar into the red. But it swat Nagi back, slashing his cheek, twirling him around a bit on his feet, his shaky grip clasping NightSky to his right. "Hah... hah..."
Taking a single step, what would be a blast of water from his sword became a gentle current of thin lines to curl around himself and the katana, eyes flickering deep blue for a split second. "Ultimate Skill..." Then, Nagi sprinted, his footsteps rippling in invisible puddles, everything growing quiet as he dodged and weaved between more projectiles. The first slash a diagonal to the left into a horizontal toward the right, then another diagonal rising up Blueite's body.
Spinning around, he swept the ground, cleaving in a vertical line, using the Blueite's rough chassis to climb into a slow arc, drawing down NightSky as all five gashes lit up blue, exploding outward in a sea of water and polygons. "...San Ge,"
The attack, however, only dropped the first gauge and into the second slightly, Blueite shifting away due to the impact as that burning glare within its chest accumulated. Nagi stared up at the boss, unable to lift his sword anymore, his health was around 10% now, this attack, or any, would kill him. Struggling in vain, Nagi grabbed the last Hi-Potion but it fell from his grip onto the ground with a clank. "...I can't even lift my arms, I... don't know what to do..."
On the plus side, Argo was out of danger, so really, Nagi didn't have an regrets, well, maybe one. "Sorry... this is my best... Argo," That burning build-up of energy wasn't really that loud anymore, and so he stared up at the golem, even at the end, he wouldn't hang his head in defeat. "Just... one more..." Water spat from NightSky, his arm shakily raising it from the ground by a few inches. "Iai..." But without the proper form, it wasn't going to trigger...
...
...
...
...
...
"Hyrah!" From either side, Nagi's vision cleared up a little, seeing the beam of light fire, only it had been knocked off-course towards the ceiling instead by a red and black buckler and obsidian longsword. Overhead, Nagi's eyes stretched wide open, seeing the black tailcoat flutter overhead, and an onyx blade come crashing down on Blueite's frame to stun it.
"You're okay! Looks like we got here just in time!" Kirito exhaled, having ran here with Artorias and Yuuki at the last second.
"You dummy, you took on the field boss alone!?" Yuuki pouted angrily at her cousin while Artorias nodded, waving his finger.
"Tch-tch-tch, should've seen the panic on the Rat's face; and this is why we don't leave you two to quest alone, shit like this happens," But the Red Warrior couldn't withhold his relieved smirk.
"We've got you, come on!" By his right side, Mito put her scythe, Soul Fang, on her back to grab the discarded health pot and help feed it to Nagi to heal his wounds. To the left, Argo knelt down, her expression hidden for everyone aside from Mito and Nagi, seeing her glossy eyes with a strained smile.
"IdioT..." She flicked his forehead, then helped Mito pull him to his feet.
"Come on, leave it to the others, leader," The purplette smiled thoughtfully.
"'Others'?" Then, more bodies piled into the chamber, their footsteps shaking the earth.
"Like we'd leave you hangin' after playing the last man standing! Furinkazan and Bro Squad, let's tag in!" Klein hollered, leading his team with Agil rallying his own men to follow.
"We won't let you die, Nagi! Not after getting this far!" Ran declared, passing her cousin a soft smile. "You had us all worried, but worry about that after, okay? Guys, flank right, draw the boss' hate away from here,"
"Follow the Sleeping Knights DKB!" Lind stepped forward with Liten and Shivata. "We can't afford to lose a top player now!"
Asuna moved in beside Lind, commanding Squad A with Nautilus. "Squad A, flank from behind, give our DPS time to coordinate their attacks! Nautilus, you're with me!"
"Gotcha, Commander!" He swung out his blade cast in red.
"RRRRAAAAAH!" And from the back of the large group, Daora threw his ax so hard it ricocheted off the Blueite golem, nearly knocking it down when he jumped off Liten's shield to grasp Skullshatter, jets of air spewing from his wolf-head nostrils. "You dare attempt to kill one of my minions!? I'll have your head to cobbled cobble creature!" Sheathing his ax mid-air, he then punched both knuckles together and brought them down to spike the top of the field boss with pale red flames, triggering his Barbarous skill.
Seeing everyone gang up on the field boss was nothing short of a spectacle. They all came down here to help Nagi, but why? He understood his friends, but nearly the whole frontrunner team was here, contending with the boss to slowly whittle down its second gauge. Despite this, a touched smile formed on his lips, he really did have so many debts to repay later.
After about thirty minutes, the final health bar was reached when the boss suddenly ceased its movements, collapsing to the ground in an almost sitting position. Those worn out were beyond bewildered, and then Yuuki blinked with Artorias. "Why'd it just take a power nap now?"
"Could be recharging its HP... or... did we stun it?" Even he wasn't certain about this reaction, keeping Red Death poised with her.
"Alright, this is our chance to defeat it! If the Assault Team attacks it all at once then-" Lind began to reorganize their teams when Asuna pushed herself forward.
"Wait! If what Argo says is true, we may accidently reboot it!" Asuna warned, seeing several players lower their weapons. "Even with the whole Assault Team here, it took us thirty minutes to reach this point, everyone's nearing burnout, unlike any field boss before, this one is extremely tough," Then her light brown eyes rested on Nagi being guarded by Mito, Jun, and Argo. "Our primary goal here is to rescue Nagi. Let's be prudent and retreat for now,"
It was a bitter pill to swallow, but Lind nodded regardless, "Good point... Okay, everyone! While the dungeon boss has stopped, I want all of us to retreat! Cover those with low HP!"
Without much complain, aside from Daora who Artorias and Kirito had to drag away from the boss, everyone quickly grouped up to leave swiftly. Nagi managed to stand as he followed Mito and Argo, pausing when his eyes caught something nearby. "Is that...?" Quickly, he jogged over to snatch up several pages.
"Nagi, we need to leave, hurry!" Mito ushered, helping him to walk with an arm around his back. "What did you grab?"
"These..." He held out the notes pinched between his fingers, smiling weakly. "Now, it wasn't for nothing,"
|Floor 50, City of Algade|
|Jan. 17th, 12:25|
When they reached the safety of town, Nagi felt his HP steadily recover when he was ambushed by Yuuki and Ran hugging him tightly. "We're so glad you're okay!" Yuuki squeezed, making him wince but smile, then Ran smacked him on the side of the head, glaring at him.
"What were you thinking pulling a stunt like that!? Argo was worried sick!" Ran reprimanded, the informant staying quiet under her hood, watching Nagi with an easy expression, likely wanting there to be no people around to say anything.
"No offense, boss, but you're banned from solo ventures like this," Artorias warned, rolling his eyes. "I swear, and you all gave me a bad time about it..." Justified in his mind but Artorias wouldn't admit that.
"If you're gonna fight a field boss, I want to see it!" Daora barked, shaking Nagi back and forth as the raven-brunette smiled warily.
"I-I'll do my best to make this up to all of you, promise," Then his expression softened, bowing his head. "Truly, all of you, thank you for this,"
"Don't get too hung up about it, alright?" Mito stepped in, hand on her popped hip. "Just don't go doing it again without a good reason, that's all we ask,"
"Sure!" He kept bowing for a moment longer, raising back up to address Asuna and Lind.
"Like Mito said, don't be worried about it; we got to save you for a change, but we're happy you're safe," Asuna smiled with Mito nodding knowingly. "Due to the camps being populated with players, most of the Assault Team were present when Argo came rushing out for help,"
From behind, Klein locked Nagi in a headlock, ruffling his head as the boy protested slightly. "Man! Never ran so fast in my life, sure did a lot of damage on your own though!"
"Klein and Asuna are correct; losing you would be a large hit to the Assault Team," Lind's firm features lightened up. "So if you do wish to repay us, let it be in our next battle together,"
"You both should take a load off for a few hours, we'll go back to dungeon delving," Artorias shrugged, then pressed his hand out. "And not to worry, we've got the word around, 'no touchy the big rock golem, especially you, Numbnuts',"
"Huh!? Why am I singled out!?" He squawked, stomping over to Artorias who ducked under his grab to move behind Mito as a shield, the purplette straight faced about it.
"Because you're a numbnuts, Numbnuts; and I have a Reaper shield, so hah!" He stuck his tongue out at Daora, making him tremble with fury as Mito sighed, closing her eyes as her body was shifted around by Artorias.
"Why did I believe partying with these idiots was a good idea?" This defeated question made Asuna giggle behind her hand. "Asuna, please lemme join KoB~" Mito whined.
"Sorry, but I wouldn't want to upset your own team," She clapped her hands together apologetically.
"Hey, NagI?" Argo tugged on his haori, nudging her head to the side. "Let's go, gotta compile what we've learned for the guide either way, righT?"
"Uh, yeah, I could use a break after this," Giving everyone a wave, Nagi added. "Thanks again, guys, I'll see you out by the quarry later,"
"BYE!" They all chimed in to a degree, leaving the pair to wander to the nearest inn.
During their walk through town, Argo pressed her head to Nagi's chest, stopping him in his tracks to feel her head twitch slightly. "...promise me... you'll never do that agaiN..." Her voice was quiet, almost below a whisper as her hands balled up his haori tightly.
Relaxing into her, Nagi put his arms around her to conceal her, squeezing her so tightly as though it might've been the last time he could. "...I promise, I'll never ask you to run away again," Hearing this brought out a shaky breath from the girl as she moved her arms around to embrace him too, closing her eyes to fully envelop in his hug, Nagi's half-lidded, face nuzzled to the top of her head. "...you were awesome back there too,"
"Heh..." Argo sniffed a bit. "Says the one that tried to solo a field boss, just couldn't help but try 'n' impress lil ol' mE?"
"Got me," Nagi snickered, rubbing her back.
"...well, it workeD," She jabbed him lightly on the back, still not wanting to move away for the moment.
To Be Continued...
Talk about a close call. Nagi managed to pull through, and to give some perspective, Nagi took down, with Argo's aid for the first quarter, a full health bar in around 20 minutes, interchanging between skills, combined the 30 minutes for the frontrunners to drop two more, this thing's a unit. With that said, situation's only going to get more dire from here. I hope you enjoyed, I appreciate the support as always; see ya in the next chapter, Misfits!
061 - Thunder at Nightfall
Recovering from his fierce battle with Blueite Golem 00, Nagi and Argo return to the factory for Bevel, upon their return to her workshop however, the worst was yet to come...
