Hidden Boss

Liam frowned as he looked at the black shield that was still absorbing all the damage. Should he give it his all and try to break it or should he save his energy for whatever comes next?

"From the way he is chanting, this also has to be some sort of summoning magic? I guess there isn't any more time."

Without any hesitation, Liam dashed forward as he watched the black sphere start cracking and crumbling. He simultaneously started casting [Dark Cutter] to remove that last bit of health and to directly kill the boss. 

Irrespective of what happened next, this should kill the guy. He was confident of it, but he also slashed his sword down just to be sure.

However, the instant he reached the kneeling priest, he was immediately thrown back. His body shuddered from the impact as he struck the ground. A big chunk of his health as well disappeared.

Liam shook it off and hurriedly stood up again, only to see a huge black mass swirling around the stone deity.
