Castle Boss (1)

The doors had an intricate design with symbols and marks engraved, after resting Zoom pushed the two doors aside and past the doors was a red carpet the stretched for hundreds of meters until it reached a throne at the centre, at the thrones left was a statue of a knight wielding a sword with both of it's hands while onto the right was a wizard with a wooden staff.

At the throne sitting on it is a large statue twice the size of a normal adult and at the centre of the room was a large sword stuck on the ground.

Zoom took a few steps inside the room before the two large doors shut close.

"Welcome challenger to the Puppet King's castle, to leave alive you have to first beat me." A voice echoed throughout the whole room.

"Luckily my master was kind enough to make it so that my level scales depending on the challenger's level, so I will only be level forty-two." After the voice echoed the statue sitting on the throne stood up.

After a second it suddenly disappeared before reappearing infront of the sword that was stuck on the floor.

The giant statue had a powerful and fierce aura around it, stronger than even the two knights he had fought before.

Zoom had 35 available stat points currently so he had added 20 to strength, 10 to agility and 5 to stamina.

"I think I'm ready anytime now, for my two potions i could use them at the same time and demolish this statue." Zoom thought.

The statue had taken out the sword from the ground before suddenly his aura had weakened and became less fierce.

"I am now level forty-two." The statue said.

"Now time to dance challenger!"

[A Looter's Movement]

The statue was faster than the ultra berserk castle knight that he had just fought, luckily he was slightly quicker than before and was able to react in time.

The statue had swung his sword to cut off Zoom's feet but Zoom jumped up just barely to dodge the swing.

The statue was on the offensive while Zoom was on the defensive, their swords kept connecting.

Ting! Spark! Ting!

The statue slightly outmatched Zoom but it didn't bother Zoom since he had the potions with him and if he utilised them properly this fight was his win.

"Impressive challenger, after thousands of years your the most impressive out of them all! Those young masters and mistresses could never be in your level, usually they would at most last a minute but you have already lasted three minutes without a sweat in your head!" While saying this statue was looking at Zoom and didn't pursue.

Zoom was sidestepping backwards and pulled out his bow.

In a single shot he shot more than 5 arrows, in total he shot 10 arrows, after using quite a bit of mana he ate a mana pill and rushed towards the statue.

All 10 arrows were homing arrows which were spinning around the statue before they all simultaneously flew towards the giant.

"Interesting." The statue was more athletic than it looked, it did flips and it had quite a flexible body, it looked like it was dancing while avoiding all the arrows.

But now Zoom had appeared in front of the statue giant and they both engaged in combat, the statue who was already fighting Zoom in melee combat had to deal with arrows at the same time giving Zoom a huge advantage which he properly used.

[You Have Dealt 100 Damage!]

[You Have Dealt 80 Damage!]

"Your quite smart challenger!"

"Indeed I am!" Zoom halted his attacks and focused his mind.

[Mana Control]

The statues sword suddenly halted in mid air, in confusion it pulled and pulled on it to move it but to no avail.

And with the statue in place all ten arrows were in front of it, quickly they shot towards the statue's face.

[You Have Dealt A Critical 200 Damage!]

[You Have Dealt A Critical 200 Damage!]

Ten arrows landed on the statues face dropping it's health to 50% very close to the 30% health bar Zoom wanted to see.

"Knights! Come to my aid!" The two statues that were beside the throne became alive and dashed towards Zoom.

"Are you kidding me?!" Luckily the giant statue was groaning in pain and was on it's knees.

[Thunder Slash]

[Mana Envelope]

Spark! Ting! Spark!

[You Have Dealt 230 Damage!]

[-50 HP]

[You Have Dealt 200 Damage!]

The two knights had the same patterns and skills as the two knights that had defended the door so Zoom had been able to predict their moves and counterattack appropriately.

And unlike the two knights before these knights were heavier and were a bit slower so Zoom could have a speed advantage.

"That was very impressive challenger but give me a minute and i shall dance with you once more!"

Hearing this gave Zoom the signal to make this quick.

He took out a smoke bomb and dropped it and it triggered making a huge dust cloud in the area.

[Ambush]

[Thunder Slash]

[You Have Slain A Level 42 Castle Knight!]

[+25,000 EXP]

Zoom was able to quickly assassinate one of the two knights.

Now only one knight was left but this second knight was much more alert and since the smoke bomb was slowly dissipating the knight was able to react to Zoom's swing.

Ting!

Both their swords clashed violently causing for both their swords to slipped off their hands.

[Mana Control]

The knight couldn't move any longer with the amount of mana Zoom had used when using Mana Control.

With his bare fists Zoom threw a flurry of punches at the same area of the knights body.

Bang! Bang!

The knight's armor was now broken at the one spot Zoom had focused on.

[Valiant Punch]

"Bye." And with one final punch he was able to kill the knight when his punch had pierced through the knight and passed to the back.
