Capítulo 8: Against The Will-o-Wips Legion!
FLAAAAASH!
A giant blue-colored fireball made of phantasmal flames, capable of burning the soul, flew at me with insane speed.
Shit!
I was caught off guard, but I tried to evade, flying to the sides, however, the fireball was way too massive, and my Agility wasn't the highest, either. I grit my imaginary teeth as I prepare myself for the inevitable hit.
However!
CLAAAASH!
"Crack…!"
Partner suddenly emerged before me, taking the whole hit head-on!
Bump!
It fell to the ground as all her bones shattered, scattering along the floor!
"Agh… Partner!"
*Rattle*
It seems to be still alive…
"You dork, why did you do that?! You could have died!"
*Rattle*
Her HP is barely at 2 points… A bit more, and she'll die. But thankfully, it is not lowering, mostly because she can't bleed or anything of the sort. However, if she receives another hit, she'll surely die… But… this wisp is looking for me, not Partner. Partner doesn't precisely have a soul, but her "soul" is made of residual phantasmal essence, whereas I am the one with an actual soul.
As long as I get away from her, the Wisp will follow me instead!
And I have enough Mana!
I rush away from Partner right away as I glance at the Wisp!
"Partner, wait there for a bit, alright?"
*Crackle*
Partner rattles her jaws as if acknowledging my words.
"OOOOOOOOHHHHH!"
The large wisps get off the ground and quickly fly towards me like a cannonball shot through the air!
"You damn fatass!"
I ready Dark Sphere and fire it several times consecutively as if I were firing a Shotgun!
As the idiot is just charging at me directly, all the hits instantly hit it!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOMMM!!!
"OOOOOOHHHH…!"
The six Dark Spheres hit it directly, as several parts of its mass begin to fade away. The entire thing is suddenly reduced to the size of a watermelon, but somehow, it kept charging at me desperately!
"OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!"
"Shut the fuck up already!"
I evade right in time, moving upwards, as the Wisp falls over the ground again and its mass begins to fade away the more it rubs itself through the ground.
"I got you!"
I rushed towards it and absorbed whatever Mana it had left, and…
DARK SPHERE!
A sphere made of pure darkness emerges before me, as I fire it directly at the wisp!
BOOOM!!!
"Guuuuooohh…!"
Poof!
The entire wisp finally dies out as I get tons of EXP.
Phew…
Ding!
[You've gained 200 EXP]
[EXP: [630/500]
[You've leveled up to Level 5!]
[You can now [Evolve]
[Partner] has leveled up to Level 5!]
Ah! Partner! I fly near Partner as I see her slowly recovering. Her cracked and shattered bones slowly reassembled themselves, and in just a few seconds, she was back to normal.
Phew…
"Uwaaah! Partner, you idiot! What would I have done if you died?!"
*Rattle*
"Yeah, I know I could have died! But still… You know that I can raise another Undead, but… you're the first one, and therefore, you're special! Even if we had been together for just like… 5 hours or something…" I sighed.
*Crackle*
Partner's empty eyes seem not to understand what I am trying to say, but she kind of felt my emotions as she used her skeletal arms to hug me.
Aw…
"A-Anyways! Now that we are max level, we should evolve! But how the heck do we evolve?" I wondered.
I tried to find something through the System, and there it was, there was a big button in front of me, saying: [Evolution] (New!). Because it is quite common for evolutions to suddenly make you blackout or something, we decided to move away from this open field, entering another of those closed buildings where they put royal family coffins. The racks were wide enough for Partner to fit her body piece by piece, so we got there pretty easily.
"Phew, being in a closed room really makes me feel safer… Now… Hey, how about you evolve first?" I asked.
*Rattle*
Partner, as if knowing how to do it without even thinking, is suddenly shrouded by shadows and phantom essence that came out of nowhere!
FLAAAASH!
"Woah, hold up!"
I move a few meters away as I see Partner evolve right in front of my eyes. My cracked little skeleton friend is finally getting stronger! The essence quickly fills her skeleton body, and it suddenly starts to change color… The black bones became completely dark and gained a mildly metallic shine. There were no cracks now, and it even had a cross-shaped crimson-red-colored tattoo in the middle of her forehead. Meanwhile, her two empty eye sockets gained two glowing red lights, shining eerily…
Ding!
[Partner] has evolved into a [Black Skeleton Fighter]!]
Black Skeleton Fighter?! Seriously? That sounds really cool for just a black-colored skeleton…
*Rattle*
Partner suddenly begins to inspect her own body, and she seemed to be happy with it.
*Crackle!*
It runs towards me and hugs me again.
"Eh? W-What are you doing? I guess you're happy that you've evolved, aren't you? Must feel nice, huh?"
*Crackle!*
What an overly affectionate skeleton…
"Anyways, let me go now. I want to evolve too! Though, let me check how your stats are looking…."
