~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Inside The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs near The City of Portes, Outside The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:38 AM)~~~

Shadow of Mella's levels are so high, that they're question marks for me. It takes a massive gap in power to see this. She hasn't attacked yet, and neither have I. This is definitely a battle, but how am I supposed to beat a character that's Invincible. She slowly starts to circle around the large arena, and I do the same. The statue in the center of the arena is keeping us apart.

Why is there a statue here in the first place? It doesn't make sense to have it in the middle of the arena... Unless... It's there for an obvious reason... Maybe... Instead of thinking further, I dart towards the statue, and before I can cut through it with The Witness, Shadow of Mella stops me as she rams her head into my body, and I crash into one of the walls.

That statue is important. Shadow of Mella wouldn't have defended it if there wasn't. We lock eyes again, but this time she's not moving. She's standing guard of the statue. "That's the key to this fight, isn't it?" As the words slowly leave my mouth, Shadow of Mella understands what I'm saying snarls at me. If I'm to beat Shadow of Mella, I need to destroy that statue.

The question is, how can I do that? Shadow of Mella is faster and stronger than me... But there is a way to do this. I understand now what the purpose of Scroll of Eternity has. Raging Machine allows me to turn Damage dealt to me into health, and I lost around 250 million from that headbutt alone. I use Scroll of Eternity and Activate Raging Machine.

The second I enter this state, Shadow of Mella considers me a true threat and charges at me. She's too fast for me to do anything, so I tank the hit and use the opening for the statue. As I'm making my way towards it at speeds high enough to slow everything down. Shadow of Mella knocks me away from the statue before I can strike at it with The Witness.

Shadow of Mella's dedication to a statue has me asking lots of questions. But this isn't the time to think about it. She follows up on her attack and tries to bite into my shoulder, but I block her with my wings. Her teeth aren't capable of piercing my wings, but she's strong enough to pin me. "Ugh! You're a real pain in the ass!" I'm starting to get frustrated.

She understands me, and I get a sort of dog smile from her, and it pisses me off even more. While I can't be hurt while Raging Machine is active, I'm stuck here. And it's going to end quickly. She's killing me if I don't do something. Anything. My hand clenches, and it fills with sand, and I get an idea. I through sand in her eyes, and she lets go.

I take this opportunity to get another shot at the statue, and as my blade cuts through it and it falls to the ground. Shadow of Mella lets out an extremely painful scream.

[Warning: Shadow of Mella has lost her Invincibility]

[Warning: Shadow of Mella has lost her levels and stat boosts]

[Warning: Shadow of Mella is enraged!]

The messages quickly fill my screen, and she's already behind me. I do my best to block and stop any of the attacks, but Raging Machine stops, and I'm hit for 30 Billion Damage in a single move. But this gives me time to activate Raging Machine again. She attacks me, and the Damage is turned into health. Filling my health bad to full.

She jumps away, and she's got a red glow coming off her. Her enraged state doesn't make her stupid, but this fight is possible now. She's no longer invincible, and her level isn't questions marks anymore. She's level 250, and she's far less dangerous now, but the fight isn't over yet. I activate the rest of my active skills and take off towards her.

Landing hits against her is far harder than I wouldn't, though, cause she's dodging and moving in ways that I can't keep up, and she's a blue wolf that should move like that. Whatever race of wolf she is, I don't ever want to fight one again. I get a lucky hit with my left-wing, and I get a total of 35 million Damage. This isn't going to cut it. I need to get attacks in with The Witness.

It's the only way that I'm beating her, but I don't have any way to stop her from moving so fast. All my thinking is interrupted as I'm hit with a beam of blue light and thrown across the room. Hitting another wall in the arena and being firmly buried in it. "How the hell am I supposed to beat you... How do I slow you down..." I talk to myself and think of ideas.

But nothing works, maybe another shot of sand in the eyes might work, but she'll be ready again. Wait... I have an idea! I open my wings and flap them hard, blowing strong winds all around the arena in her direction. Sand is kicked up, and she's instantly covered and blinded by it. She shakes her head to try and get it out of her eyes, but this is the opening that I needed.

I dash towards her with all my active skills on, and I attack her over and over again. Dealing Hundreds of Millions of Damage in a single instance. Laying on more Damage, she tries to get away with her eyes closed, but she crashes into a wall, and I chase after. Driving the tip of my blade into her. All the DOT effects of my blade are active on her.

I pull it out, and she screams in an animalistic-like way, and I swing my blade edge at her leg and cut right through it. She screams bloody murder as she's lost her front leg, and she's losing health fast. I'm blown away from her as she screams, and energy from her body throws me back. My ears ring from the volume of her screams.

[Shadow of Mella has suffered critical injures!]

[Damage dealt after this point will be tripled!]

[Shadow of Mella has activated Saving Grace!]

[Shadow of Mella has regenerated her lost limb!]

The message hammers my HUD, which is a sign not to stop. Not giving her time to finish removing the sand from her eyes with her paws. I attack, and The Witness is doing massive Damage and adding higher layers to the DOT on her from its effects. After my next five strikes, she slumps against the wall, blood dripping from her. Dying.

[Shadow of Mella has been defeated!]

[You've against 15 Player Levels!]

I take a breath and fall on my ass. "That was a stupid fight... I would've lost if not for the sand..." It hurts my pride, but it's the truth.

[Statue of Mella has dropped something!]

The message fills my view, and I slowly look towards it. There is a light of Turquoise Blue. Indicating that a Divine Grade item has dropped. I slowly stand up and make my way towards it, and I'm lethargic from the high-intensity battle. As I reach it, I Inspect it, and I smile.

[Tier-2 power up for The Son of Arch-Angel Michael Divine Class!]

That's one tier-up quest done, and two more to go... Hope the others are making progress...
