2nd Boss Part 3

( Inside Raymond's Mind.)

" Garrrkkhh!!! " Aruka continues to feel pain, for he also feels the pain from Raymond's body since he's attached to it.

"( Dammit, this Hollow!!! )"

"( He doesn't give any damn!!! )" he yells as he tried his best to maintain himself while still being stunned thanks to the <Hollow Howl> Shiro did.

"( I'm still stunned, dammit, I can't move this body..., I- )"

"( I need to- )"

"( Need to what!? )" Raymond's consciousness says as he returns to fight the Djinn Aruka who possessed his very mind and body right now.

He grips him, pinning him as he tells Aruka to stay a little longer, to feel the pain even more.

"( You..., you're crazy! )" Aruka says as he hears that very plan from Raymond.

"( Are you out of your mind!? this Hollow brat is going to kill your Astral Body! )"

"( Yes, I know... )" Raymond says to him.

"( But he doesn't slash at my Core location, right? )" Raymond says as he tells Aruka that if that's the case then he will welcome pain if it means torturing Aruka within his body.

"( You crazy idiot, don't do this!!! akkhhhh!!! )" Aruka screams in pain while Raymond laughs, enjoying the very pain.

"( Dammit, I have to...- )" Aruka decides to increase his Astral Power as he then tries to break free from the pain.

"( Guess I have no choice, dammit! )" Aruka says as he then decides to retreat from Captain Raymond's body, coming out from it.

...

( Back to reality.)

< (!) Quest Completed (!) >

< Time: [00:03:36] >

< [Important Quest]: Choose who will Astral Player Fight Completed! >

< Rewards: (A) Rank Item Box. >

< Accept Rewards? >

< Yes | No >

" So it's completed... " Shiro says as he accepts the Rewards.

< Reward Accepted >

" Now, is it done... " Shiro wonders after slashing Captain Raymond's Astral Body many times, his HP is already 10% from the whole.

" Huh...!? Shiro says as he sees smoke, crimson smokes coming out from Raymond's body.

" It seems I actually hit the jackpot, then... " Shiro says as the System informs him.

< (!) WARNING (!) >

< Boss Detected (!) >

...

" Wha..., what... is...? " Tracker asks as he sees it too, still standing there.

" It's the thing I'm actually fighting at the moment, Tracker. " Shiro tells Tracker about it.

" This thing is inside Captain Raymond for some time, I sensed it. " Shiro brags about it as he just tells Tracker completely that 'he' just 'sensed' an odd 'Astral Energy' inside Captain Raymond which he thinks is not his, hence why Shiro attacked him earlier.

" But if that's true..., what about...-? "

" Captain Raymond is still with us, don't worry... " Shiro says telling Tracker that he makes sure to not even touch the Astral Core's location which means that Captain Raymond can still be helped.

"( Should I help him, now!? )"

"( I think I need him for this Boss Battle. )" Shiro wonders as he then brings up five of his newly acquired HP Potion.

< HP Potions Used (X5) >

< [Raymond Warren] healed >

< Raymond Warren HP +480.000 >

< HP: 550.000/700.000>

...

"( Hmmm..., he still stunned, huh? )" Shiro says as he sees that the Stun effect is still applied from his <Hollow Howl>.

"( Well, it seems I saved his life for now... )" Shiro says telling Tracker to guard Captain Raymond for a moment while he faces the Djinn Boss who decided to show himself for real.

" Grhhh, to think a mere 'Ordinario' Hollow would wound me this badly...!? " Aruka says from the smoke he summons himself to, slowly showing his Djinn form.

" I'm so disgraced to even feel this pain, not because I'm afraid of receiving one, but from who I have to receive this... " Aruka then reveals his Djinn Form, a big Djinn with hairy long hair, his black smoked skin and red eyes also reveal themselves after the smoke he made dissipated.

" So this is your real form...? " Shiro asks Aruka as the System informs him.

< Scanning... >

< Subject Scanned >

< Boss Name: Aruka the the Paik Neta (Pack Leader) Djinn >

< Astral Manifestation: Spirit >

< Spirit Race: Djinn >

< Evolution Stage: Raydar (Raider) >

< Level: 78 >

< HP: 460.000/780.000>

< AP: 355.000/780.000 >

...

"( Level 78? A Raider? )" Shiro asks as he sees it, he wonders about the power level in this Spirit world for he remembers the Incursor (Raider) Hollow Cráneos Buitres who is at level 25. Recounting it, Shiro wonders if a Spirit's race might also affect how powerful a Spirit was, for he compares the difference in power of different races of Spirits between the two examples despite them having the same Evolution Stage.

Still wondering about it, Shiro then was interrupted by the System as he receive a New Quest.

< (!) Message (!) >

< (!) New Quest (!) >

< [Boss Quest]: Defeat Aruka >

< " In order to do this quest, Astral Player has to defeat Aruka. " >

< This is an [Important Quest], Astral Player can't refuse, for refusal means punishment. >

< ... >

< Rewards: (A) Rank Item Box (X4). >

< " Accept the Quest? " >

< [Accept] >

" If it means I have to kill this one Boss in order to gain more items during my Leveling stagnation. " Shiro says as he draws his [Astral Blade].

" I'm in! " Shiro accepted the Quest.

< Quest Accepted >

< Time will begin to move. >

< (!) WARNING (!) >

< Boss Battle Initiated >

After the momentary pause, Shiro then wastes no time attacking Aruka, without any bullshit talk for he now wants to talk using his blade only and wants the blade to straight slice the Djinn using his <Spirit Slash>.

As he slashes Aruka, Shiro sees that Aruka can regenerate due to his Djinn physiology which makes him able to counter him after he made heavy movements as he punched him hard with his big hands.

[ Gigantic Punch ]

< HP -35.000 >

Aruka punched Shiro but Shiro holds it with his blade which also wounded Aruka's hand at that very moment, Shiro uses another <Spirit Slash> to wound him again.

During the fight, the unconscious Captain Raymond is being on Tracker 101's care as he waits for him to wake up. As he guards him, Tracker then felt something coming out from the gate nearby, as it opened suddenly.

" Is that Captain Raymond!? " the Soul Guards appeared as they then see the two Souls and the two Spirits who were currently in Battle.

" We've found the Spirits, one Hollow, and one Djinn. "

" Should we...-? "

" No, wait!!! " Medic Ellie Warren comes as he stops the guards from interfering.

" Hold your aim... " she says as she tells the guards to let the Spirits fight, for now.

" Don't shoot them, or you'll hurt the Hollow. "

" For the Hollow is on our side! " Ellie says to them.
