MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

-15 HP

The Electrocution Effect damaged the prince for the second time. I managed to use my spears and lower the boss's HP to 3000, but he was still standing strong.

I once again threw another spear dealing some damage to the prince.

- 103 Magical Damage!

I knew the one sided barrage wouldn't last for long, because the Prince would soon figure out where I'm hiding and start counterattacking. I was not afraid of the prince's spells, because they couldn't reach me. I was afraid of the spells' aftereffects, because even a simple explosion would kill me.

Lifting my head to see through the window I felt two red eyes full of uncontained rage and madness land on me.

I shivered...

' Is this what they call < Killing Intent > ? '

Since I was from the future I knew that < Killing Intent > could be formed as an active skill if one goes through countless death experiences or fights in a lot of fights. The skill is usually used to pressure your enemy, in my past life only one person had the killing intent. I remember hearing a myth that some of the people even fainted when they came in contact with the skill directly.

The Dark Prince before me doesn't have such skill, but is midway in forming it. I'm lucky enough to engage with him before he fully formed it.

If given time, all the monsters in the game can progress and become stronger.

Channeling another Lightning spear I threw it at the Boss. Unfortunately knowing my location and seeing me prepare the spell the boss sidestepped the attack.

Clicking my tongue I once again hid under the window.

Now the real fight will start. The prince finally figured out where I'm hiding hence he'll have a high chance to dodge my spells. Unfortunately for the prince I was already prepared for this. Channeling Mana I felt lightning sparks dancing on my palm. Gripping the pure Mana spear I once again reappeared in the window.

A gaze full of hate instantly landed on me.

The huge Demon started murmuring under his nose when two orbs of Darkness Mana started levitating above his palms.

The prince was casting a spell...

I needed to perfectly time when the boss would throw the spell. Casting a high tier spell usually takes around a few seconds. I needed to launch my spear aiming for the small time window when the prince was about to chant a Spell.

Whoosh...

A Projectile hit the prince's chest area making him take a step back and raising a dust cloud in the air...

- 205 Critical Damage!

The Critical hit made the Prince lose focus and fail to chant the spell, because of a huge damage that was inflicted to him.

The Demon quietly growled before using the dust as a cover and conjured a Darkness Blast. As smoke was slowly settling down the prince caught sight of a head protruding from the window and threw the spell towards it.

I was snickering at my successful hit and saw that the prince failed to chant the spell. Raising my head to see the boss's location I saw a huge Darkness Blast coming right at my face. Quickly lowering my body I was caught in after shock of the attack and suffered some damage

Boom...

- 24 HP

- 12 HP

- 6 HP

" Augh... "

I let out a growl, feeling my body throbbing in pain. Taking out a HP potion I gulped it down and felt the pain slowly drifting away.

+ 9

+ 12

+ 14

My HP slowly regenerated to full and I could once again move my body. Slowly lifting my head I peeked through the window and instantly fell on the ground, because another Blast was coming my way.

Boom...

This time I was fast enough and evaded the after effects. Good thing that the room was reinforced and the boss's spells couldn't damage it.

Creating another spear in my hand I once again raised my head and seeing the Prince still conjuring another spell I launched the spear.

- 101 Magical Damage!

Unfortunately the Attack wasn't a critical hit, hence it didn't stop prince from casting another spell.

Boom...

- 2 HP

I dodged the spell, but some rocks from the ceiling fell on my head.

Click...

I was about to throw another spear at the boss when I heard a weird sound of clicking inside the library. My eyes widened and I quickly fell on my knees covering my head.

Zzzzzzzz...

A dark beam shot straight through the window and bounced off the wall landing near me and evaporating.

Slowly lifting my head I noticed that the place where the beam hit was severely damaged and bent in. Taking a peek through the window I noticed the Prince breathing deep breaths and wiping his sweat.

Flashing a smile I gulped down a MP potion and once again conjured another Spell before throwing it at the Boss.

+ 15 MP

+ 17 MP

Whooshh....

1️⃣ Lightning Spear <Lv. 2>→ <Lv.3>

~ +5% Damage

~ +2% To Inflict Status Effect

One of my skills leveled Up and the Mana regen was slowly regenerating MP, but it was assisted by MP potion, hence hasn't leveled up yet.

Hiding my head under the window's cover I waited for the Lightning Spear Spell cooldown to end. While the cooldown was still ticking I heard a sound of something being unsheathing. I didn't even need to look, I knew that the boss summoned his Darkness Sword. It could be used to block or cut through my Lightning attacks.

I didn't know if one required to constantly feed it with Mana or if there is a time limit for the sword, but I figured out, I just needed to wait.

The Prince summoned his sword to deflect the attacks of the enemy and use his other hand to conjure the spells. The Boss was waiting for the puny Demon to reveal his head and give him a target. Unfortunately the Prince was left dumbfounded, because his enemy wasn't moving. His opponent didn't even raise his head.

The Dark Prince felt that keeping the sword is taking a toll on his body and that his MP is quickly draining. Cancelling his Darkness Sword the Boss felt his chest burn. Looking down and seeing another lightning projectile stuck in his chest he felt blood flow to his head.

- 108 Magical Damage!

Another successful attack landed bringing boss HP lower. I was keeping my calm, because I knew that the Prince has some more skills in his Arsenal. Eyeing the huge Demon I suddenly lost him from my sight.

' Darkness Robe '

Grumbling under my nose I looked around the library warily.
