Chapter 115 Shaman From The Sky
The boss did not speak a single word while releasing its full aura. The room felt cold and Shaman felt shivers down her spine, creating a sense of fear within her.
'I really chose the wrong time to be a bitch.' Shaman was regretting what she had done and was now suffering the consequences.
'Looks like it's all or nothing.' Shaman wanted to conserve her mana but it was looking like she could die if she didn't go full power.
'I may pass out after this so I should use [lovers call] if it's too dangerous.' Shaman was hesitant to use this skill so soon as it had a week cooldown and did not want to use it just in case something worse happens.
"You Shall die here now." The purple aura around the boss intensified, swirling around him menacingly. Even the boss's eyes radiated in his aura like powerful flames.
Shaman did not hold of herself back, instantly activating the [blade of flamescion]. Although she mostly used it as a sort of ultimate move, she could also use it like her [fire coat] and keep it active.
Flames raged violently around Kotetsu, illuminating the entire room. The fire then extended all around Shaman, creating a fiery zone of protection. She followed that up with wind, incorporating it to excite and spin the fire, hoping the power of the flames will serve to shield her from the boss.
Shaman wanted to use her ice and water but was unsure if she could handle using more than 2 elements at the moment. Another factor to consider was that fire countered her other elements making it hard to use simultaneously.
The boss became cautious as fire was its major weakness making it hard for him to approach Shaman.
Shaman took the first move and entered her [spatial rift], She then appeared right above the boss attacking with Kotetsu in the air.
Both their weapons clashed but Shaman's flames won against the boss's aura, forcing it back and weakening the boss. Shaman had also let all 4 of her tails out, increasing her power slightly more. Shaman was suspended in the air by her wind and kept raising the intensity of her fire.
The boss, knowing it could be in danger, changed its eyes from purple to red, revealing to Shaman that the boss switched bodies.
"Tch, looks like we have to go on a little hunt." Shaman was able to easily kill the fake since it was significantly weaker. The fake boss melted under the flames and Shaman landed back on her feet.
Shaman looked around and could see a swarm of fake boss's had encircled her. Shaman tried looking for any obvious purple eyed ones but as expected it was not so easy to spot.
Shaman tried looking for any easy way out of this but seeing as there were hundreds of fake bosses around her, it was no use in trying to take them out one by one.
'Let's see if I can just wipe them all out in one go, I am 100 percent going to faint, so I will use [lovers call] before I lose consciousness.' Shaman was sure of using the call, as her next attack might not finish the boss off.
Shaman took a deep breath and began to prepare an attack she saw from a video game wishing to replicate it.
Using even more of her mana to empower [blade of flamesion], the fire surrounding the blade grew fiercer, turning Kotetsu into a greatsword made of fire. The amount of energy within the blade was ready to explode at any given moment.
Shaman could feel her mana veins burning from pouring almost all her mana into the blade. Her consciousness was slipping as her mana approached 0. The fake bosses didn't dare to move as a whirlwind of fire was protecting Shaman from any attacks. A few were adventurous enough to try, but any attempts in getting close would simply turn them to ash.
The actual boss began to get agitated and tried to send attacks using its purple aura but his attempts were futile as it would all just get evaporated by the flames.
Shaman had finished pouring her mana into Kotetsu and began her attack. Shaman spun in a circle using all of her strength to swing the fire greatsword she wielded. She then swung into the air, sending her fire all over the room.
"Lovers call." Shaman called out the name of the skill and slowly her body vanished into a pink dust leaving the boss's separate chamber.
The fire blade hit the ceiling of the pitch black room and released a massive explosion. Fire bursted out engulfing the entire room in flames, making everything it touches turn to dust.
After a few minutes the flames in the room finally died down showing that there was no longer any boss in the room. However what came out of the ground was the real boss that had half its body burnt away.
"That vixen, you are not getting away that easily." The boss let out a pained groan and slowly repaired its body. Due to the damages it took longer to repair showing it was significantly weakened.

Elysia was currently turning the room upside looking for Shaman as she had been taken away from right under their noses.
Elysia had kept checking her bracelet making sure Shaman was okay as it was the one thing stopping her from going crazy.
"AHHHHH!!" Elysia screamed into the sky to let out her frustrations till she spotted pink dust converging above her. Elysia was confused as it was making the shape of a person.
Suddenly Shaman appeared from the dust and began to fall towards Elysia.
Elysia had no idea what was going on and by the time she could register it was Shaman, it was too late to catch her.
Shaman crashed into Elysia, cushioning her fall.
Elysia shook her head and looked at the person who had fallen on her and upon inspection realised it was Shaman.
"SHAMAN!" Elysia screamed out her name grabbing the attention of Clara and Wolfy.
Shaman laid passed out on top of Elysia with slight burn marks all over her body, although she did not injure her mana veins like before she was still wounded.
Clara and Wolfy ran over and saw that Elysia had Shaman in her arms, a wave of relief came over Clara and Wolfy seeing Shaman alive and breathing.
"Where the hell was she?" Clara was confused about where Shaman was and wanted some answers.
"I have no idea how but Shaman fell from the sky out of nowhere." Elysia tried her best to think of how Shaman could just reappear, then it came to her.
"Lovers call" Elysia whispered to herself as it was a skill she had completely forgotten about.
"How does someone just fall from the sky? Anyway we should try to get out of here, we need to leave as soon as we can, just the mere thought of staying in Ebonscale any longer makes me want to hurl." Clara, who still had the demon horns, had said a line that Elysia did not think she would say.
"Well, let's hope mother wakes up soon." Wolfy went up to Shaman's face and licked it.
'That confirms that Himeko had done something to Clara.' Elysia now knew that there is something much more sinister than slightly influencing people's minds going on, and added to the list of reasons why they shouldn't stay.
"Yes, let's get going." Elysia carried Shaman in her arms and they all began to move to the end of the hall which looked like it had an entrance.
"You are not going anywhere!" The boss's voice rang out in the hall just as he appeared below the group trying to desperately hit anyone.
Everyone dodged with ease and could see the boss was severely weakened.
Clara, realising that the boss was weak, sent a powerful lighting strike at the boss. The boss was unable to react and screamed out in pain.
Black smoke came off the boss's unmoving body, as what little purple aura remained swirled around it.
Elysia, not willing to wait, used her fire remotely to create a bow next to her and shot a fire arrow. This finished off the boss as it crumbled to dust and the last of the aura was extinguished.
A system notification appeared promptly after the death of the boss.

This put Elysia's mind at ease as she saw that she gained a couple bonus levels ready to be added once she evolved.
"Clara, Wolfy, it's over." Elysia announced that it was finally over and everybody relaxed.
