[An ally defeated an enemy]

[You have defeated an enemy]

-*Sigh*. -That was the last one… -Alexander wiped his sweat while watching his defeated enemy, Arthur and him have several minutes fighting against the castle guards.

-Yes, we are doing a good job, if we keep this up we can escape. -Arthur shows a smile to Alexander as he spoke, he could live in peace with his beloved as he has longed for so much.

(I must admit that fighting together with someone like him is very beneficial, and the best of all is this…)

[Enemies defeated: 95/100]

(Although it was a headache at first, I’ve almost defeated all the necessary enemies, I just have to try a little harder and it will be enough) -Alexander could taste the flavor of victory, this mission had lasted quite a long time, but he was almost done.

(But there is still a problem, no matter how much I searched I still can’t find the missing objects, for the last two they are simply a mystery) -Alexander decides to look at his cards one more time, the first of the objects was a drop of bright color, and the second was a drop of red color, no matter how hard Alexander tried he was not able to discover its meaning.

-Hey Alexander, I think there are no more guards, we can escape this way. -Alexander’s thoughts are stopped by the words of Arthur who was pointing at something through the window. -I see, it’s the bridge. -Alexander walks over to see what his friend was pointing at.

-We just have to go to Agnes and that’s it, let’s go!” Full of energy Arthur takes the lead to go back to the garden in search of his beloved. -Agnes!” Full of happiness, Arthur entered the garden shouting his girlfriend’s name.

[Warning]

(What the hell? Something is happening here… ) -Alexander is surprised by a system window that warns him of an eminent danger, he would have to be careful from now on.

-Agnes! -Arthur kept shouting while looking for the girl with his eyes, but he doesn’t seem to find her. -Agnes is not funny, come out of wherever you are!” The boy was still looking for the girl all over the place, but to his bad luck he found some gentlemen sitting at a table.

-What the…? Who are you, where is the princess? -Arthur angrily spoke to the men who ignored him without further ado. -Sons of…

-Wait Arthur, these guys are not like the rivals from before. -Alexander stopped his partner while looking at the guards who were drinking tea. -These guys…

[Warning]

[The 5 middle bosses of the dungeon have appeared]

-They are dangerous. -Knowing that his opponents were strong Alexander decides to use the skill “observe” on them.

[You are using the skill: Observe]

[Knight of darkness]-[Power Rank: A+]

[Knight of the shadows]-[Power Rank: A+]

[Knight of the mist]-[Power Rank: A+]

[Black Knight]-[Power Rank: A+]

[Knight of the eclipse]-[Power Rank: S]

(Crap, everyone’s stats exceed B rank, no doubt they are the strongest enemies not counting the boss) -Alexander was analyzing the guards, watching as one of them stood up from the chair.

-I can’t believe that most of the guards have fallen, I think that’s the most I can expect from the Bromck’s guards. -The man mocked Agnes’ royal family with a smile, apparently he was a guard on behalf of the Velomht and came to help his duke.

-Hey bastard, don’t start laughing, tell me where my girl is. -Arthur looked at the knight very angry, he wanted to know the whereabouts of his beloved. -The whereabouts of your girlfriend? I don’t know, but if you ask for the Duke’s fiancée, maybe I can help you. -The man answered the boy while he had an evil smile inside.

-I’m sorry Alexander, I’ll have to fight. -Alexander listened to the words of his companion and decided to get ready, he had to defeat them anyway.

-Hahahaha, I can’t believe they are really challenging us, do you know who we are? -The knight changed the tone of his voice to a more serious one while his companions got up from their chairs as well.

-We are the knights of the night, we are a group that has never lost a fight, and you think we are going to lose against you?

[You are using the combat skill: Lend it to me for a while].

[You are using Takeda karate]

Without giving him time to chat, Alexander lunges at one of the guards with his karate moves. -We don’t have time for small talk Arthur. -The Imperial leader reminds his friend of the situation, if they didn’t manage to rescue Agnes in time they don’t know what they could do to her.

-Well, it seems that the prince brought a foreigner with him. -The knight holds Alexander’s arm and throws him to the ground. -Hey asshole. -But the impact is sustained by Arthur. -Don’t touch my guest.

After saying those words, the boy throws the dagger at the man’s eyes, but he dodges it without much trouble. -Arthur Smith, the duke has told us a lot about you. -Two of the knights of the night approach Arthur as they speak to him.

-The duke told you about me? Apparently he’s still angry about the beating I gave him earlier. -bringing memories of the past to light, one of the knights draws his sword, but the prince kicks him away.

(Holy shit are these really real swords?) -Alexander for his part was fighting against the dark knight and the fog knight, he never thought to get involved in a fight with weapons.

Alexander decides to take distance while he thought what to do, he couldn’t use his equipment items, since the time hadn’t passed and he couldn’t use his “Runner” skill either or he won’t be able to face the boss.

-For a foreigner you move pretty well, I must admit. -The man praised Alexander as he approached to attack him again, this was a life or death moment.

[You have used the skill: Dice Thrower.]

Alexander takes an inhuman leap dodging the man.

-Shit, shit, shit, I didn’t want to use this skill! -Alexander shouted in frustration, he had used a card he had saved for later.

[Skill: Dice Thrower]-[A King is not afraid of anything, much less of trying his luck. When the player uses this skill a die will be thrown and depending on the number it will help the opponent or the player. If the numbers that come out are even the user will receive help of all kinds on the other hand, if the number is odd, the player’s enemies will have an advantage, the advantages can be permanent or temporary, depending on the type of advantage it is]-[Skill level: Maximum, Mana required: 200 per use, Skill mastery: Apprentice].

[Number cast:4]-[It’s an even number.]

-I swear I’ll get this one because I’ll get this one motherfuckers. -Alexander glared at his opponents with fury as he looked at them.

[The player will receive an S rank improvement in all his stats for 5 minutes.]

Alexander without wasting time, lunges at the two knights who also wasted no time and were ready to give chase to the boy. -Are you a wizard? I’m sure you weren’t that fast. -The fog knight asked Alexander, whose attacks did not reach. -Maybe he is. -Leaving the man’s doubt in intrigue, Alexander gives him a kick that sends him flying.

-Did you forget I’m here? The other knight tries to surprise Alexander while preparing a surprise attack from behind. -No, just…

[You have used the combat skill: Counter Strike.]

A strong counter strike hits the man’s armor shattering it in the process, Alexander had realized how strong he could become thanks to the system.

-I don’t care about you. -Alexander hit the man several more times until he left him vulnerable.

[You are using the combat skill: Synergy.]

[Warning]

[You have unnaturally raised one of your stats].

Ignoring the system’s warning, Alexander hits the man sending him flying all over the garden.

[You have defeated an enemy]

(This is going to hurt me later) -Alexander decides not to waste a second, and approaches the other knight ready to knock him out. -Do you think one kick is enough to defeat me? -The man holds Alexander’s coat.

-No, that’s why…” -Seeing his rival’s intentions, Alexander hits the man several times with Karate technique, which he couldn’t dodge. -I’ll give you quite a few blows.

[Combined Skill]

[Synergy+Knockout Points].

Several blows were made by Alexander completely destroying the defense of his rival, it seems that the fight already has a winner.

[You have defeated an enemy]

-Alexander decided to help his partner, who was struggling with difficulty against the two men.

-Wait Alexander! -But to his surprise, his partner stops him. -You already won your fight, rest, I’m going to try this. -Arthur said a few words and then took something out of his pocket, it was a bottle with a green liquid in it.

-Wait, what are you going to do? We’d better fight in… -Alexander was trying to stop his friend, but he started to drink the content of the bottle.

(What the fuck did he just drink? Will it be dangerous?)

[Notification]

Alexander decides to look at the system notification, maybe he has the answer to the mystery.

(An ally is under the effects of an object.]

(Wait what?) -Alexander, surprised, decides to use again his skill on his friend.
