Redo! Last Chance for a Dying World!

The creature showed a smirk as the Barrier blasted apart. Geth and his tames were flung over fifty yards where they slammed into the walls of the room.

His three lower Leveled tame's health plummeted into critical levels. Geth recalled them quickly back into their cards and stored them away.

His attention was now entirely on Necromancer Draug. The humanoid creature was hovering near the spiraling bones in the center of the room.

"Do you really believe that you Humans can survive against us? We've already conquered your kind once. We will have no trouble doing it again."

A guttural voice resonated throughout the room. Geth felt as if his head were about to explode from the sheer volume.

The creature turned its head backward unnaturally to peer at Geth with its blood-red eyes. His inner selves began to shiver as if it was staring straight into his mental sphere.

Geth could tell that it wasn't him that the creature was looking at. Albus was the center of its attention.

The old man stood calmly and peered back out at Draug. The creature let out a violent laugh, causing Geth's hair to stand on end.

"You really have so little memory of us?! After we slaughtered all of your people?! Ha... Hahaha! Then let me remind you!"

Albus' eyebrows folded inward as if he were in pain. His legs wobbled as he struggled to stay on his feet.

Geth noticed that his own mental sphere started wobbling. He hurriedly controlled his Mana to wrap around the dome and stabilize it.

Albus managed to fight off the creature, but his eyes shone with understanding. He steadied himself and looked back at Draug.

"How is the Demon Clan already here? You should be held back by the planetary Formation for another two years!" 

Albus seemed to have a look of genuine confusion on his face. He glanced meaningfully at Geth and sent a thought saying that he would explain later.

"Hahaha! The Demon Clan? As long as you've lived and you're still so naive!"

Draug forced his hand into the bone tornado. Geth could see an ugly blood-red Mana seeping from his body and into the bones.

"I'll leave you with this little gift. Barbas, who you saw earlier, is waiting on my return."

Albus' face turned deathly pale. Geth could tell that the name Barbas was familiar to him.

"This was our last day in this Region. If your little meat puppet can survive, maybe you can play with my creations again in the future!"

With that, the smell of sulfur flooded the room, and Draug disappeared into a puff of red ash. The stench caused Geth to become slightly nauseated, even with his high endurance.

"Alfred, what the hell is going on?"

'I'll tell you once we get out of here. For now you ne... JUMP!'

Geth didn't have time to see why Albus yelled at him. He leapt with all of his strength to his right side. 

Before he landed, a loud explosion came from behind him. The shockwaves disoriented him, and he landed back first on the ground nearby.

Geth swiftly jumped to his feet and looked towards where he was just standing. An immense crater was precisely where he'd been leaning up against the wall.

The crater wasn't the shocking part. A massive hand was dislodging itself from the rubble and pulling back towards the center of the chamber.

Geth followed the arm with his eyes. His knees almost gave out when he saw what it was attached to.

A colossal creature stood in the center of the room. Every aspect of the beast was terrifying.

The monstrosity was massive, having to stoop just to fit in the room. Standing straight, it would have to be at least 25' tall!

Its arms and legs were as big as tree trunks. A distorted face with glowing red eyes sat upon its shoulders.

In fact, its entire body was glowing red. The red Mana seemed to be holding the bones in this form.

"Is this... what Humans are up against..?" Geth couldn't help but question his resolve.

:Demonic Skeleton, Lvl 70 (World Boss); HP- 997,863/1,000,000:

'Hurry and get out of the way!' He heard Albus' cry again but wasn't quick enough to react.

A giant hand, twice his height, slammed into his side palm first. Geth shot like a projectile towards the furthest wall, his body embedding into the stone.

It was nothing like when the Skeleton King assaulted him. He lost over half of his health on impact, and he could feel that multiple bones had been shattered.

His selves began to alternate control over the body so that he wouldn't lose consciousness. 

He looked back at the giant, slowly turning to face him again through bleary eyes. A loud ringing filled his head, keeping him from hearing his own thoughts.

His body struggled to move. One of his selves managed to cast Restoration during his few-second turn in control.

The healing effects were quickly taking root, but he didn't have much time. Every instant, the giant's body was turning further in his direction.

He had only managed to reach 4,000 health by the time the monster was looking his way again. It shot another fist in his direction.

His mind was working fast. The world around him seemed to be moving in slow motion.

The Demonic Skeleton's fist was coming towards him at a snail's pace, mere inches at a time. Geth blinked rapidly as the ringing in his head subsided.

"...eth! Geth! Can you hear me?!" Albus was standing in front of one of Geth's selves and shaking his shoulders.

"Al... Albus..?"

"Yeah, it's me, buddy. You have choices to make, and you need to hurry!"

"Choices..?" Geth peered outside again and saw that the fist was still coming his way in slow motion. "What the hell happened?"

Albus pointed, and a hovering Attribute page showed up, showing that his Wisdom had been buffed.

"One of your selves increased your Wisdom. Time isn't slower. You're just thinking faster."

Geth glanced around and found that the other-selves had dispersed, leaving only himself and the one keeping his body awake.

"So this is what it's like when my consciousness isn't split?" Geth stared around in wonder.

"We don't have time for that! You need to make your choices now!"
