The beast saw Lucian begin to run. "Almost done! Just a few more seconds!" Indeed, just a couple more as Lucian ran towards Ren, trying to garner the zombie's attention for just a little longer. Luckily it was still under the effect of Ren's 'Mark of Cursed Tasks', so it was still a bit clumsier than usual as it aimed one of its feet once again for the escaping Lucian, attempting another kick. --- Mass Zombie Stomp: 67 --- Lucian was either lucky or just skilled at dodging. The stomp missed him by a good bit, leaving a foot sized crater, it roaring out loudly as it continued to be assaulted by the dark green flames and Ren's other Mark. Ren glared up at the beast. "Its done!" With a loud shout he fired the giant, swirling blast of mana and flame towards the creature, praying that this would finish it off and end this fight as he put all the remaining MP he had into the blast. --- Ren Giga Spiral Bolt: 35 - 30 Projectile Weaponry = 5 Hit! (Max Damage) Damage Dealt: 258 --- The blast hit square on, as if by pure chance, as it looked like it wasn't going to for a moment, or not hit it in the right spot to finish it off, but as if by pure chance the beast, in its attempt to get to Lucian, stepped so the blast hit it square where the heart should be. It was no head shot, but it seemed to do something. The spinning of the blast seeming to give it extra edge as the beast howled out in pain. For a moment it looked like it wasn't going to finish the creature off though, but with the flames on it also burning and attacking the creature on the blast as well seemed to give it the extra kick needed, the creature's tough body giving way. The blast, within moments, tore through the creature's body, only going for a few more yards before dissipating as if there was just enough power in it, or even not enough, to pierce it as though the flames had given it the extra power needed. The creature howled now as dead spirits seem to begin pulling and flying from the creature's body, its body beginning to crumble and melt as if the entire thing was made out of other dead spirits or zombies. A haunting chill arose through the air as the creature continued to crumble away. Soon enough it was over, a small chest in place where the beast was, reminiscent of the other boss chest that they had seen before. The cool, refreshing feel of a level up would wash their pain away as it restored their HP. The fatigue of battle would still remain, making them all a bit tired, a good bit especially from all of the other grinding they have done today as well as Mike's sword training, as he did take a very heavy blow from Keiichi and do alot of sword swings, and Lucian, from his grinding of elementals. Mike would get the same window that Lucian did alerting him that all of his Stats had gone up by 1 after hitting Level 10. Not only that, but the two of them also would receive one other window. [hider=Window] You have obtained a new Title. By slaying a very powerful Zombie you have received the Zombie Slayer title. [/hider] [hider=Title] Zombie Slayer: Many zombies have fell before you, but now you have killed the one of the baddest zombies out there, making you something to fear for all walking dead. You receive the following bonuses against Zombies and other kinds of walking dead: +10% Attack Speed, +10% Defense, and deal +10% Damage. [/hider] "Alright... that was fun...got a lot accomplished today and you two nearly died... lets divide up this loot and then go home, its getting a little late..." Ren walked over to the small chest and touched it, it opening and then vanishing in a flash of light. Where the small chest once stood was a decently sized stack of yen bills, which Ren grabbed. It did this before, so Ren figured it would do it again. The moment Ren put it into his inventory, the stack vanishing in thin air to the other two, their own inventories would appear, alerting them that they both received 80,000 Yen as the Yen counter at the bottom right hand corner of the window went up by 80,000. "Wow, 80,000 a piece, 240,000 in total. That was more than last time, I guess the amount they give is different each time like in games. Lets see what else we have here." Ren then looked at the other three things. There were two slightly bigger Health potions in a bit nicer looking bottles in and one blue potion, a Mana Potion probably, in a same kind of bottle. There were also two other potions, one small health potion as they had seen before and another that looked just like the small health potion, except it was blue, so it was a small mana potion most likely. Ren uttered Observe for the bigger Health potion. "Ill just have the bigger health potion, you two can figure out how to divide the other four potions." Ren picked up the bigger health potion and slipped it into his inventory. Ren then looked at the other two items. What looked like a rune stone that glowed slightly black with some ominous chill of death. "Another Death Rune like before... you guys would have no use for this, ill hang onto it if I ever take my black magic studies to necromancy." Ren picked it up and then looked at the fourth thing. "Another book..." Ren looked at it, using Observe on it as he picked it up. "And speaking of Necromancy... lets see if I can learn this since I am already studying up on dark magic, what's the danger of adding Necromancy to the mix..." Ren attempted to learn from the book, but nothing, a sigh as he just shook his head. "Requires Intermediate Black Magic... ill just hang onto it for now since neither of you know Black Magic." After that Ren stood up, figuring that giving the other two more of the potions made up for taking the other drops, but its not like they were in this for themselves, the other two just had no use for the two things Ren picked up, which was his reasoning for taking them. "Those drops were a bit different from last time, I guess they are randomized, but I think we were luckier this time..." After that, Ren did a quick application of his Talent Points and Stat Points, saving one for a later occasion instead of spending it. He decided to amp up Wisdom a bit so that he had more MP, pleased that his MP regeneration went up by one as well. Ren decided to send a PM to both Silas and Sasha while the other two played around with their level ups. (Note that not gonna put it in here since the two of you won't get it until you are done grinding since Ren, Mike, and Lucian are ahead in time).
