Chapter 11: Frankenstein 1
Jin's POV
Our walk so far seems safe, there are no monsters left in the dungeon. Only Frankenstein is left.
"Not that I doubt this new power but, can we really defeat a henchman from hell?" Jane asked. I never thought of that. Can we? It's the question that keeps running in our mind. I guess we'll see.
"Self doubt can only slow your progress, and don't you dare doubt my power" Ive replied.
"Thanks though, now I can summon my fairies and keep my fairy king form at the same time" Kyan said.
"I can also take more damage than before thanks to that vitality stat upgrade. Now my HP is the same as a giant" Mark said.
"How about you Eva?" I asked her.
"I've acquired 20 new spells" She replied but it seems... she don't like it? Eva haven't said anything to me lately, she's quiet than before.
"Isn't that great? Why do you look so... bothered?" I asked. It seems I hit a sore spot that she dragged me away from everyone.
"It's because of this. We're getting stronger and that's obvious but... Enemies we encounter are getting more stronger too... I'm afraid that one day, we might lose each other" She said. She's right but what choice do I have? We're facing a greater enemy. I need to get more stronger.
"Don't worry Eva, I won't let that happen" I said. I need to get stronger. In order to protect everyone.
"We're here" Ive said.
"We're just gonna barge in?" Jane asked.
"Of course not" Ive replied "Before we enter, Matt tell us about Frankenstein"
"Well, as I said earlier... Frankenstein is a geek who finds entertainment on experimenting humans and turning them into monsters. Well, he's also a fighter himself and the monster he creates exceeds the level of guild masters" Matt explained. Guild Masters? They say guild masters are powerful, they can finish a dozen of party by themselves. Spectre is just a party for clarification and not a guild. You need to have at least 25 people for a guild.
"They're that strong?" Kyan asked "Then, can we really beat them?"
"You have me and the zodiacs, trust your power and ability." Ive said "Now let's go"
We entered the boss room and the man so called Frankenstein is waiting for us at his throne.
"Welcome, to Frankenstein Manor" He said.
"Cut the crap, free your hostages! Free my friends!" Matt shouted.
"Oh my lab rat, you came back. How lovely. Your friends huh? Ah, you must be referring to that girl I just killed" Frankenstein answered.
"You monster! You said you won't kill her if I follow your orders! I brought them to you!" Matt shouted.
"About that, I'm not a man of words. Hahahahahaha!" Frankenstein laughed. This shit, you will pay for your sins!
[Navigator used Magic Arrow]
Eva!
"You're so full of yourself, aren't you?! You think it's funny toying with the lives of other people?! I won't forgive you, you will pay for it you hell of a crap!" Eva shouted and just keeps on firing her magic arrows.
"You think you can hurt me with that magic? Aren't you a cute circus clown? You're not even a good mage. I don't have time for weaklings, Alpha take care of them" Frankenstein said and an abomination appeared out of nowhere.
"Jin, take care of Frankenstein. They will take care of that monster." Ive said. Wait, I haven't scanned them yet.
[Monster Name: Frankenstein's Monster]
[Monster Nickname: Alpha]
[Monster Level: 55]
[Made from the body parts of Frankenstein's lab rats]
[Monster Name: Frankenstein]
[Monster Level: 60]
[One of Cerberus Henchmen. He specialized on Necromancy and Dark Science.]
Level 55 and 60. They're strong, that's for sure and I'm going to take care of Frankenstein? What is Ive thinking? Fine, I'll just do whatever I can. Andromeda!
[Brawler used Splitter]
I tried to hit Frankenstein but it's no use, he just stopped it with his palm.
"Seriously? How can you people be so weak?" Frankenstein boaste.
"Just shut up already!" I replied.

No matter how hard I try, it's still no use. On top of that, he's just using his palm. Ive?! What will I do?
[Feel Andromeda]
[Unlock it's full potential]
[Don't limit your sword]
[Be one with the sword]
How am I supposed to understand what you're saying?
[If you can't understand, there's no point in teaching you]
[Think Jin]
Be one with the sword. Based on the comics and movies I've read and watched. You need to harness the sword.
[Are you really comparing this to a comic book?!]
Harness the sword. Andromeda, hear me!
"Hey kid, you're still on a fight? Don't you dare doze off while fighting me" I heard Frankenstein said. Still, I closed my eyes and felt the sword.
Andromeda, hear me out. Show me your power. (ugh)
{Why would I?}
Andromeda? Please, lend me your power. I need it.
{Many have tried and many have fooled me}
I need it! Just this once is enough.
{Why would I?}
I said I need it!
{Need me? I've heard that line many times}
Please. Please, let me protect them.
{How can that help me?}
Maybe it can't, but it will help many. It will save lives. Please not for me, but for them.
{Only few have a pure heart like yours}
{But still, I won't}
Even though how many times I level up. There will be enemies who are far more stronger than me. Please, lend me your power.
{50%. I will lend it to you}
Thanks. I hope it's enough to beat my enemy.
Then, the sword shines. It changed form. Now it's bigger, better and it has some weird stones at the center of it.
[Splitter evolved to Earth Splitter]
Earth Splitter. Let's try it out.
[Brawler used Earth Splitter]
It manage to hit Frankenstein but it only leave a small scar.
"So you have managed to upgrade your toy but it's just a stick for me. Too bad" Frankenstein said and stood up "Now, how about I attack too"
