Chapter 23: Secrets Unfold.. Pt. 2

"You have to be kidding me!"

Oza looked at the Valkyrie at the center of the room. Oza wasted no time and charged it but the last thing he expected for it to dodge insanely fast. Sigrund grabbed his face and dragged it along the floor and then threw him towards a wall causing him to lose air. He slowly got up as he wiped his saliva off the corner of his mouth Sigrund stared him down but he just smiled.

"I must have gone insane if i'm grinning in this situation.. That last attack just made one thing clear, you're insanely fast, you have amazing strength, and most likely you have amazing durability.. That golden armor of yours will be hard to penetrate.. but right here and now I have people I need to protect so i'm going all out!"

Oza's aura changed as he activated both his skills. His grey hair and his cloak flowing due to the power he was emitting and his yellow piercing eyes showed only one goal and that was to defeat the powerful enemy before him. They both charged at each other ready to clash.

With Harley and Ali, Harley was asking a few questions that confused him while ali just listened in on their conversation.

"So this Valkyrie warrior why is she the one guarding the treasure?"

"Simple really, but the Sigrund here right now has been corrupted and is only doing it's duty to kill those who trespass on the treasure room."

"And what caused this change in her?"

"I don't know myself.. but i'm very sure that your master will be alright, he'll have a hard time but most likely he will be alright."

"I don't like this.. After the trial will he be transported here?"

"I don't know this is the first someone has even reached this far."

"Explains the many skeletons in the other room."

Zaza nodded and back with Oza's fight he was really struggling to even dent Sigrund. He was panting hard as he was blown back again.

"A warrior through and through."

Sigrund then sent out smoky knife projectiles towards Oza who barely dodged them. He charged again, Oza went for an over head strike but Sigrund used her wings to deflect the attack. Oza grit his teeth he got his footing back and he stabbed his long sword in the small gap in her make shift shield and managed to pry it open staggering Sigrund.

This gave Oza the opportunity to strike Sigrund, he coated his blade in lightning and did a cross slash towards Sigrund's chest that knocked her back weakening her. Oza didn't let up as he continued his barrage of attacks getting quicker and quicker Sigrund could barely keep up.

Oza tried to end it but he was countered by Sigrund, Oza tried to block with his sword but it was blown away and then Sigrund delivered a solid uppercut to his stomach causing him to cough up blood and blasted upwards.

'What is this power?! It's basically a High tier C rank! I'm.. slowly losing consciousness.."

Oza fell back and caused a small blast of smoke to cover the area. When the smokescreen cleared Oza was barely standing with blood dripping from his head and obscuring his vision. His weapon was no where to be seen he was weak and was about to give up.

He closed his eyes and saw in his short reflection the townsfolk who care deeply for him, Harley who he had basically formed a bond with, and Ali who was there for him since the very start. He opened his eyes and warnings were in front of him telling him he had little HP left. He ignored the warnings and with his new found strength he dashed forward.

Gritting his teeth and fighting through the immense pain he dodged the smoky knife projectiles that were sent his way as he made make shift blades out of his magic. He went on to cut and slash at Sigrund who was protecting her wings Oza noticed this and took advantage.

He threw the lightning blades at Sigrund which she blocked but caused a mini explosion staggering her. Oza with all his might delivered a solid jab to her stomach then quickly jumping over her and grabbing a hold of her wings. He used his remaining strength to pull of one of the wings making Sigrund thrash around, Oza held on and tore off her last wing effectively killing her.

Oza tried to catch his breath but he fell on his back as a final warning appeared in front of him and a notification screen.

~~~

Ding~

You gained 8 levels!

~~~

"Five hundred HP and eight levels huh.. that was such a hard boss kinda worth the levels though.. but God help me.."

"Well done young warrior." Oza suddenly jolted up but instantly regretted that decision as a sudden pain went through his entire body.. "Easy there boy, you did very well." He looked to see a spirit came out of Sigrund body and was now talking to him.

"H-how..?" Confused, he tried to stand up but he fell back down.. "Nope.. not happening."

"Let me help you." Sigrund took off her helmet and reaveled a beautiful woman with blonde hair, bright blue piercing eyes. She walked forward to Oza who was in ah of her beauty and got down and held his face.

"Uhhh what are yo-" he was cut off when she suddenly locked lips with him. Oza didn't know what was happening but he felt rejuvenated when they separated "Woah! i.. i feel great all of a sudden, still sore but not in pain."

"Well that is one of my many skills but once i was corrupted i was unable to use them. Now you are being healed so that is my thanks for freeing me from this prison."

"Wait so.. you never were some evil boss?"

"Sorry to disappoint but no.. It's been so long but you.. you are very familiar.. tell me what are you?"

"Um.. I'm a human?"

"No i mean, what is your class?"

"Oh.. uhm i'm the Jack-Of-All-Trades class." Sigrund was shocked to hear Oza's class as she grabbed his shoulders

"Are you certain?!"

"Ye-yes?" Sigrund let go as she calmed herself.

"I'm very sorry, it's just that hearing that name brings back a few memories."

"Please do tell."

"I wish i could tell you everything, but it seems i'm running out of time. It started long ago when all the Divine classes were leaving peacefully and ruling over one nation but tragedy struck and all of us were separated and some corrupted, some killed and inhabited different people, and some just scattered.. I regret to say i do not know who has done this to us but you.. You may not look like the master of none but i sense his power within you."

"Wait this is all to overwhelming.."

"I know but please hear my quest.. Please defeat and save all the divine classes.. and bring justice to us and see who has done this to us."

Before Oza could answer a pop up appeared in front of him.

~~~

Oza dismissed the pop up to see Sigrund start to fade. He called out to her one last time as she gave him one more object.

"Take this my dear blue mage, please rescue us, join me and the others when you are done."

Sigrund gave one last smile to Oza before disappearing leaving him alone in the room. A pop up again appeared telling him he completed a quest.

"I'll check those out when i find a way out of here."

Oza slowly made his way towards his sword and picked it up he sheathed it and looked around the room.

"Now how the hell do i get out of here.."

As if on queue a white light appeared and blinded Oza. When his eyes adjusted he saw that Harley, Zaza, and Ali were looking at him shocked. Harley then tackled Oza as he transformed back into his cub form.

"Your back master!"

"Yeah i'm back."

He smiled as he looked towards Ali and mouthed a 'i'll explain' making her nod and smile. Oza faced Zaza as he placed Harley on his head.

"I see you are back in one piece, did you get the treasure you seek?"

"Yeah actually."

Oza opened up his weapons where his new weapon was stored and took it out. The blade was in a black sheath with had a very nice curve, Oza took out the blade to see it and all it's glory. The blade itself was black in color and had some markings along the blade.

Oza smiled as he dismissed the pop up as he saw his body start to disappear as he glanced over to Zaza one last time.

"Go be a hero.. Master of none.."

He nodded as his body disappeared leaving Zaza once again. Oza was back in his room and he looked around to see what time it was but he saw what time it was

"We're back.. and it looks like it's midnight.. that whole thing was one hell of an adventure."

"We're sorry Oza for not being of any assistance."

"Hey don't sweat it Ali, what's done is done. At least i'm back and in one piece."

"Yes, master, you should get ready for bed you look like crap."

"Haha very true well then our next problem now is facing mister plague mask and traveling to danario."

"Yes but that should be dealt with tomorrow. Our top priority now is to get plenty of rest and prepare ourselves for what's to come."

"Ali's right we better be ready and i know we are."

Oza and the other two nodded as they all smiled happily. They all got ready for bed and soon Oza laid on his bed staring at the ceiling reminiscing about his past.

"All this is so amazing, who knew a frail guy like that would survive and turn into this.. I'm grateful, and now next stop is danario."

Oza let the darkness consume him as he fell asleep awaiting for what's to come and the new challenges he'll have to face.
