Is This The Power Of Love And Friendship?

When Nicole entered the Gate of the Boss Room, several lights appeared on its surface.

According to Alice, this meant that there was someone inside the dungeon room. When the lights disappeared, it meant that there was no longer anyone in the room, and anyone could enter.

Just 15 seconds after Nicole entered the room, the lights on the Gate disappeared, which meant that the battle had ended.

This made Alice frown because, as someone who had entered a Dungeon in the past, this could only mean one thing.

Either the Boss killed Nicole, or Nicole killed the boss.

“A-Are we really going to challenge the Boss Monster?” Chloe stuttered as she looked at Ethan, who had a solemn expression on his face.

Ethan pondered for a while before shifting his gaze to Alice, who had a determined look on her face.

Seeing that she still had some fight left in her, the teenage boy then glanced at his cousin and asked her a question.

“Can you still use magic?” Ethan asked.

Chloe didn’t answer right away. Instead, she looked at the little Golden Fox beside her feet in askance.

As if understanding what her Master wanted to know, Kon barked and nodded her head.

“I think I can use Fire Bolt two more times,” Chloe replied. “More than that, I will probably suffer from Mana Deficiency.”

Ethan nodded and glanced at Alice, whom he believed is the most powerful among the three of them.

“I have enough mana to cast two more spells. If given the opportunity, I might be able to freeze the Boss Monster for a short period of time,” Alice stated. “But, after that. I’ll probably faint.”

“Understood,” Ethan took a deep breath before looking at the Gate with determination. “Let’s go.”

The young man pushed the door open and entered first. Chloe and Alice followed close behind him.

Deep inside, he was feeling anxious, but since there was no way to leave the dungeon until they defeated the boss monster, there was nothing he could but fight.

When all three of them were inside the room, the door closed behind them.

A few seconds later, torches lit up in the surroundings, and a zombie, that was at least three times bigger than the ones that they had fought before, appeared opposite them.

Without even waiting for the three teenagers to get their bearings, the zombie charged at them like a bull.

“Ignis Fulmine!” Chloe shouted and a Fire Bolt shot out of her wand and flew in the direction of the Boss Zombie, hitting its chest directly.

The Zombie took a step back from the impact, and howled angrily. It then resumed its charge towards the young lady with light-brown hair, as if enraged by her attempt to hurt it.

“Imbre Glacies!” Alice chanted and several Icicles formed around her. With a flip of her wand, she made the Icicles rotate before sending them flying in the direction of the Boss Monster.

As if learning from its previous mistake, the Boss dodged the first Icycle, swatted the second, but got hit by the third on the shoulder, and the fourth Icicle embedded itself in its leg, slowing its movements.

Ethan then ran towards the monster and slashed the side of its head with his Pitchfork.

However, the Zombie grabbed his weapon and held it firmly in its hands, stopping Ethan’s attack completely.

A moment later, the zombie lifted the pitchfork, along with its owner and threw both of them away.

“Ethan!” Chloe shouted as her cousin nearly smashed at the wall of the Boss Room.

She was about to run to check his condition, but Alice grabbed onto her arm preventing her from living.

“He’s fine,” Alice said. “We need to deal with this monster first. Can you aim for its head?”

“I-I can’t,” Chloe replied. “I’m bad at aiming.”

While the two girls were talking, the zombie pulled out the Icycle that was stuck on its shoulder and leg.

It then sprinted towards the two girls, but due to the injury it received in its leg, its speed was nowhere as fast as it was earlier.

“Aim properly,” Alice said as she pointed her wand at the approaching monster. “If we can destroy its head, we will be able to beat it.”

The Golden Fox, Kon, jumped onto Chloe’s dominant arm that was holding the wand. She then transformed into a fireball that was the size of a bowling ball that hovered at the tip of her Master’s wand.

When the zombie was only dozens of meters away from them, Chloe cried out and unleashed her unique ability.

“Vulpes Ignis!”

The fireball shot out like a cannonball, ready to annihilate anything it hit.

However, just as Chloe and Alice thought that they would be able to kill the Boss Monster, something unexpected happened.

The Zombie tripped, falling face first on the ground, completely evading Chloe’s Spell that contained all of her magical power.

The young lady’s face then turned extremely pale as she collapsed on the ground panting for breath.

Alice, gritted her teeth as she gathered all of her Mana to unleash her own Unique Spell.

“Glacies Carcerem!”

Just as the zombie was about to raise its body, the ground around it turned to ice, spreading up to its body, encasing it slowly in a prison of ice.

Alice’s face had almost lost all of its color as she channeled all of her strength to completely encase the Boss Monster in ice.

However, she was already a spent candle.

She only managed to freeze half of the Monster’s body before she collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

The Boss Monster shouted in anger, as it tried to break free from the ice that covered its body.

Cracks soon appeared in the ice that was holding it in place, causing Chloe to despair.

“It’s over…,” Chloe muttered as she looked at the monster that was about to break free from the shackles that bound it.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a flaming Pitchfork slashed the side of the Monster’s neck, cutting halfway through its flesh.

“Die!” Ethan roared as he pulled back the pitchfork, and slashed the Monster’s neck a second time, cutting it off completely.

The horrendous head rolled on the ground for a few seconds before turning into particles of light.

“D-Did we win?” Chloe asked as she looked at her cousin, who was leaning on the still-flaming pitchfork in order to support his body.

Before Ethan could even reply to Chloe’s question, they heard the sound of someone clapping within the room.

“Bravo!” the beautiful Professor, who gave Ethan the Moulding Ball said as she clapped her hand happily. “Is this the power of Love and Friendship? No. This is the passion of Youth!”

The Professor eyed the three children before giving them a nod of approval.

“Congratulations,” the Professor said. “The three of you have cleared the Initiation Ceremony. Now, let’s go back, so you can claim your wonderful prizes!”

Without even waiting for their reply, the Professor pointed her wand at the three of them, sending them back to Brynhildr Academy, where the Headmaster, Professor Rinehart, was waiting for their return.
