Chapter 8: Roaring Winds

Jin's POV

"Eva fall back! We can't damage her!" I shouted.

"Damn it! That bird!" Eva cursed. We're on a middle of a dungeon right now and we're battling the Queen of Harpies.

[Monster Name: Helen Hurricane]

[Monster Level: 30]

[Helen Hurricane. The 3050th Queen of Harpies]

That's it? No weaknesses or lore? Ok, fine. We need to find a way to beat it.

"I can't hold her anymore!" Jane shouted and got knocked back. Helen Hurricane broke out from her Cube.

"Xandra, Ara go!" Kyan shouted. Ara the wind fairy was creating wind scythes to attack, while Xandra is using fire balls. Still, no damage.

"Maybe if I can use Lion's Pride, I can beat her" I said.

"Ok we'll try that, we'll buy you some time" Kyan said.

[Scout used Summon]

[Scout used Summon]

"Terra, Nymphia, Xandra and Ara. The four elements, attack that bird!" All of Kyan's fairies are fighting Helen but they don't even leave a scratch. Helen just blew Kyan ang his fairies with a gust of wind.

Jane and Eva combined their attacks.

[Support used Cube]

[Support used Enhancement]

[Navigator used Magic Blast]

Even if they combine their attacks, they can't still make a scratch to the Harpy Queen. Helen viciously flapped her wings causing Eva and Jane to get blown backwards.

"Jane!" Mark shouted.

"Eva!" I added.

"We're ok" Jane replied.

"Watch out!" Eva shouted.

Helen headbutted me, a move I never expected. The strike sent me to where Jane and Eva were.

"Kyan, let's use our special moves. We can't defeat her with normal spells" Mark said.

"You're right. On it" Kyan replied.

[Tank used Force Combat: Sealing Chains]

[Scout used Fairy Fusion: King Roldan of Ygdrassil]

Chains came sprouting from Mark's body, the chains seized Helen Hurricane and then they vanished. The fairies also vanished, Kyan was shining, after that Kyan changed. Kyan now has wings.

[Force Combat: Sealing Chains: The chains that can force someone attack you. The enemy will attack you until you die, neither you nor your enemy cannot break free from this skill unless one of you dies.]

[Fairy Fusion: King Roldan of Ygdrassil: Kyan fuses himself with his fairies creating his powerful alter ego, Roldan. He can control the 4 basic elements and acquires fairy wings which can make him fly.]

These two are powerful.

"Ok, I'll support you!" Jane shouted.

[Support used Firmness]

[Support used Enhancement]

[Support used Toughness]

[Support used Mana Boost]

[Support used Mana Regen Boost]

[Support used Magic Enhancement]

[Support used Swiftness]

Too many spells, can she withstand this? This will exhaust her body for sure.

"Now bird, let's do this!" Mark shouted dashed at Helen. Mark takes all Helen's attacks while Kyan attacked Helen with the 4 basic elements.

Is this the power of Spectre? They already have special moves and their fighting styles are more efficient. I guess experience really is the best teacher.

"Sh*t, I'm running out of mana" Kyan cursed.

"I can't hold this anymore, any minute my buffs will vanish" Jane added.

"I'm still holding up, but I don't know for how long" Mark said. Even they can't defeat that Harpy. How can I?

[Jin]

What is it Ive?

[Your Lions Pride]

[You can't hit the other harpies because they're too fast and scattered]

[Helen is alone. She believes anything we do does no damage to her.]

[Just strike her with all you got and use Lion's Pride]

You're right! Thanks Ive.

[It's my job, no sweat]

"Mark, Kyan, keep it up!" I shouted and took out Leo. Now here I come!

As Helen was too busy fighting Mark and taking damage from Kyan. I dashed at her side without her noticing. Now where should I strike? Hmmm, birds' weakness are their wings. There, I'll strike there.

I jumped at her back and stab her wings. Now, this is my chance.

[Brawler used Lions Pride]

[You have slain Helen Hurricane the Queen of Harpies]

[Gained Helen's Wings]

[Gained Helen's Heart]

[Gained Helen's Feathers]

"The heart is a gem while the feathers can be used as ingredients" Jane said.

"Well that's finished" Mark said.

"That sure was tough" Kyan added.

[Calculating EXP]

[Gained 1500 points]

Woah! That's a lot of levels. Now I'm on level 28, Jane is on level 25, Eva is level 20, Kyan is level 33 and Mark is on level 26. Mark just rocketed from 16 to 26.

"How did we-" Mark said in shock.

"This is impossible. Yes, she's the boss but, to level up this fast" Jane added.

"Yeah it is. The others are training for hundreds of hours and can't even level up twice, and we just rocketed" Kyan said.

"Speaking of, it's still our second day and I'm on level 20" Eva said.

Is it really weird? Come to think of it. When I acquired Ive, I'm still on level 1 and now I'm on level 28.

Ive.

[Yes Jin?]

Does the system have some sort of EXP boost?

[If you're on the same team as the user, you can gain EXP ten times more than normal]

Ten times? That's, amazing!

[Jin, everything about the system. You must not tell anyone about it]

Why?

[The system must remain a mystery]

Well, fair enough. Now, can you show me those items dropped by Helen?

[Helen's Wings

If equipped, the user will be able to fly through the sky]

[Helen's Heart

A gemstone, can be use to amplify wind attacks. Can also be used as ingredient]

[Helen's Feathers

Used as an ingredient]

Helen's Wings. Can I equip it?

[Yes]

Then, equip.

[Wings equipped]

[The wings can remain invisible]

[Make it visible?]

No, it's ok. It can be weird having wings you know. Now I can fly! A swordsman with high mobility. Sweet!

[By the way Jin]

[You have 15 points]

Hmmm. Put everything to intelligence.
