Chapter 5- Test of the might

I go upstairs as I reach the upper level of the school. I arrive as I see an armored skeleton knight sitting on a throne. I figured out this is the boss room. I haven't spent my QP yet so I leveled all my stats up to 15 except for strength. I tried to be prepared so I leveled up my strength to 30 because of it, I have no QP left to use. I watch the boss stand up on its throne as it rushes towards me, luckily I dodged its attack as I started to clash swords with the boss. I'm starting to feel pressured and nervous since I can't land a good hit on it yet I'm receiving powerful blows that are stronger than gut punches. I'm surprised that I'm still standing. Maybe this is the level 15 I have on my durability. My hope starts to fade as I keep receiving heavy blows from the boss. I want to get out and run away yet I can't because the system blocks the door from getting out. I realized I am not prepared for this but I remembered the people that are unconscious on the lower floors. If I get defeated here, all of them will be in deep slumber since the fog will not disappear until I clear this scenario. I slowly stand up as I raise my steel sword, still ready to receive heavy blows again. I tried my best to try landing a blow on him, I don't care if it's only once, I don't care if it's a weak strike, just a single strike and I'll be content. While trying to land a hit on it, I remembered something. While reading the summary of the reflectionist, I saw that it has a bonus 30% on my precision and faster attack speed than my steel sword so I have higher chances of dealing a strike on the boss using reflectionist. I switched my steel sword with the reflectionist and I suddenly felt a rush of energy which enhances my agility. In the summary, the passive of the reflectionist can increase my agility and speed by 20% when my defense is lowered. I start to move faster and attack faster as I start to land hits on the boss. My difficulties started to disappear, the tables have turned yet I am still putting all my effort. I scream loudly, putting all of my sheer strength to the strikes that I send towards the boss. The system pops up as it says that I unlocked a skill called "Battle Rage" which increases my strength by 100% for 60 seconds. I activated the skill and the boss charged its strongest attack called the Paladin Strike. I watch as the boss gathers energy and charges up the slash. 20 more seconds until the skill runs out, I have two choices, use all my luck and try to reflect the attack or accept the fate of dying in the scenario. The boss unleashes the slash and I saw my life flashed before my eyes, again. But I'm not giving up the trial I have so I try to reflect the attack. The attack instead hit the boss and half of its body was blown off. I considered myself lucky because that was a one in a ten chances situation and I blew it off, defeating the boss. I walk towards the boss and it turns into a chest. I opened the chest and I received 5,000 QP, 5 levels, a dagger called Knight's Dagger, and a skill called Levitate. I checked the summary of the Knight's Dagger and it is just a light speed but heavy attack dagger, nothing special but pretty useful. I also checked the summary of the skill Levitate and it is a skill that can let me control the weapons using my mind, more like a psychic power. I smile as I sensed a presence near me. I turn around and see the shadowy figure that almost took my life a week ago. Though, I gotta thank him for having this kind of power and letting me use my kendo skills on these weapons. I scoff as I throw the Knight's Dagger towards the shadowy figure, it's chest was blown off and it disappears, it didn't even put up a fight. It was just there, observing and watching me the whole time. Maybe it wasn't a living entity, instead it is a minion that is used for the master's plans. I've gotta figure it out on who is the person who is controlling these shadow entities. This may be a disturbance to my progress but I really want to know who really is the one who uses these shadow entities.
