Outcast Hunter

Cetus was getting desperate on killing the two of them. Since Cetus had stopped producing Water Bubbles, the arena's almost clear and they can freely move around.

[Enemy's using skill 'Acid Blast']

[It is a stomach acid confined in a specially constructed mana orb. It takes a long time to cast. Therefore, the enemy's used this when the battle began. One hit by these skill will automatically and slowly melt anything it touches.]

'You mean, that's its puke!? Eww, that's gross!'

Cetus widened its mouth. Leo's at point blank range away from Cetus. It was planning on casting it off whilst Leo's defending its attacks. His katana were still stuck inside its mouth..

Cetus broke the sword and chewed it down its throat.

[Fufu~ seems like our first group's halfway done, no, I'd say almost. The others might not get a try.]

Mana orbs formed from Cetus' mouth. Leo back down, for Cetus is about to release the skill. It grew larger, it was like the size of a basketball ball. Not just that, there five of it.

"Damn! Tom be careful!"

As usual, he'll care for his brother first than himself, brotherly love was it?

"I'll be!"

Its skill took off at a swift. It was somehow faster than Leo had expected. The mana orbs' were all aimed at Leo. And then, he thought that he could just easily evade the skill with such speed.

It had not hit him, at first, when all of the mana orbs bounced everywhere the stage and one of it had hit Leo. The other four scattered and were bouncing all over the place.

The audience was surprised when they were gonna get hit by the skill when a magic barrier was surrounding the arena.

[I've place a magic barrier, just in case of something like this~]

Tom could barely evade the attack himself. On the other side of the arena, where Leo stood.

'Argh! It stings!'

[Warning : A slow acting acid was coursing inside your body.]

[Estimated time before it completely melts, 14 minutes and 51 seconds]

[No acid curing potions are available at the store.]

[Estimated time to create an acid curing potion, 14 minutes and 49 seconds.]

'Ehh!? I'm dead before it's created!'

[Then finish Cetus before the alotted time]

'Damn! This is making me look like a desperate!'

"Tom! We've got ten minutes to finish Cetus!" Tom shifted his gaze to his brother.

"Okay, big brother!"

Another set of 'Acid Blast' were forming as Cetus widened its mouth.

'What!? It's at it again! I'd better hurry'

[Activating skill 'Hotfoot', stats' lower than the enemy. Activating Acceleration]

He rushed, towards the impending skill Cetus would release, again. He ran as fast as he could to catch up to Cetus and stop it from using its skill again.

The five mana orbs were formed and filled with its stomach acid. Before it could be release from the shackles of its mouth. Leo had went under Cetus and gave it an uppercut.

'Ahhh! It stings!'

The five mana orbs were cast off into the ceiling and it bounced back, the mana orbs broke and the its stomach acid were all over Cetus. Leo back off before the mana orbs broke.

"Grrrahhh! Urghhhh! Ugrhh!"

It's a slow acting acid made by it, so why is it in so much pain. Cetus should be immuned to its own skill.

Its skill 'Immortality' didn't seem to be effective. The acid's on its way, preventing from recovering its injuries.

"Tom, use your skill now!"

This is the best time to use it. The one he had stored earlier. It's not that he stored it himself, it was stored by the item itself. That's what was written on the description of the item.

"Yeah!"

[Party member, Tom Nicholas' using 'Holy Sunlight']

[Bathing enemy's in sunlight for 10 seconds, draining only HP and distributing it to party members who lost HP]

Cetus' crying had finally stopped, as it slowly turned into a stone statue.

[Enemy's skill was diminished, use some health potion to refill the lost health]

'This system's bossing me around'

[10,000 experience points earned]

[Plus one level...]

[The player can't level up, until a class is acquired]

[Don't worry, experience points will be stack and will be receive once class is acquired]

[Skill crystal acquired, would you like to open it?]

[Yes or No]

'Whoa! A skill crystal? Sure, I'd like to'

[Opening skill crystal...]

[New skill acquired, 'Immortality']

[Information closed, class required]

'Huh? I really need to have a class soon or else'

[Three new title acquired..]

[King of the Tower]

[After countless battles with different type of monsters, you and your party member had not fail and defeated the 100th boss. Therefore, when both of you are both using this title, your stats would be doubled. Note that you should be within the range of 100 meters for it to be effective]

[Ancient Slayer]

[Ten Percent]

[After reaching level 50, this title will be given and receive 10% bonus to stats, 10% discount when buying at the store]

'Now this is amazing! Ten percent's the only let down though. But it's still amazing, I get doubled stats. I'll use King of the Tower for now'

[Status window can not be displayed at the moment, try again after a few hours]

'What!? What's wrong this time?'

[My dear hunters, your long journey from the lowest floor of this tower up to the highest are now done. I'd like all of you to move to the other room where the banquet will be held. As for the treasures you'll be receiving, you lots can choose later.]

Everyone moved out of the audience seat and went to the banquet.

"Isn't this 'Grace' beautiful, Mikhail?" He was sitting on a corpse-made throne, whilst playing with a mana orb filled with something like a smoke or fluid.

Mikhail, one of his trustee, a loyal servant. He's a son of a high noble vampire, he is one of a unique vampire with only one protruding fangs.

"My lord, you're not gonna consume the 'Grace'?"

"I'm thinking about it. For now, now that the scale of life is slowly losing its balance between 'us'. 'He' will soon have to choose who to side with. I'll be waiting for 'you' here"

'I can clearly remember his last words when I killed him'

"You're... you're ruining the..."

'Then I struck him down and sealed his Grace'

[Hello, my dear hunters. I've made changes to what will be going on from now. I decided to include the 'Treasure Choosing Event' for the night's events. I've thought that we can't do it tomorrow, the other administrator's waiting for you lots for a long time. Well, you've spent quite a long time climbing the tower. That's all and without much further ado, let's eat.]

Everything seems luxurious, even the food presented for them. Leo could not help but wonder where the food and equipment came from. And saying 'Let's eat' when she's not showing her face or even a single strand of her hair.

-

[Are you guys enjoying the banquet? 'Cause I am. I know, what you're all waiting for, and it's finally here. The Treasure Choosing Event!]

Everyone was done having their fill and focus on what's on the stage. The red curtain had opened and their attention was shifted to what seems to be the treasures they have been wanting.

"Finally!"

Their eyes grew larger. The treasure's no joke, some of them can tell if a treasure's good or not, just with a look.

[I'd like to call the Group A, who put their all into climbing the tower and succeeded on becoming the first place. Also, about my cute little pet that they beat and killed, If you guys are thinking if I'm holding a grudge about it, erase such thoughts.]

'We should be the one who's holding a grudge'

Leo and Tom stood from their seat and set foot into the stage.

'I've already set my eye on this one'

[Ohoho, you've got good eyes. For you to choose that 'item'. I think that's the most suited item for you here]

"Have you choose anything yet Tom?"

Tom shook his head, "Not yet, there's so many choices"

'Actually, I want pick something for big brother. I don't know what's good and what's not. This is hard'
