Chapter 35: Nightmare?
Damon gazed at the big monstrous beast that was a mix between a panther and a dog. It's eyes were particularly enormous and the first thing Damon did was to make sure that he did not see the eyes directly for continuous seconds. Not that it mattered because the beast instantly disappeared as soon as they arrived at the spot.
The next instant Damon felt a blur approaching him from the side. He immediately activated his newly acquired skills. Shadow Cloak and Shadow Step. Before the claw strike could land, he was already behind the final boss, only an after image now in his place.
The claw slashed merely a image which dissipated into shadow wisps. 'The skill feels a lot smoother and easier after that shadow affinity bump.' Damon thought. There were still a couple more skills he wanted to try.
Shadow Bind and Shadow Claw.
The boss roared in agony as Damon ruthlessly unleashed a bunch of shadow attacks. On the other side, his clone was attacking using blood attacks. The beast's health dropped like the stock market and went down to 10% in no time at all. The fight went a lot easier than he expected.
However, the most difficult part was still left.
The Nightmare mode of the fight!
Shadow like tendrils appeared around him and before he could react they locked him in place. A ball of shadow encased him. Damon already knew it was futile to try and break this shadow prison but he did it anyways. He used all sorts of attacks to wreck the prison. It only resulted in his mana depleting.
"Ah fuck it." He sighed and prepared for what was about to come. He always knew that this last boss fight was a tricky one. The shadow prison last for 10 seconds and his health needed to withstand the attack the beast would be waiting with after that 10 second ended.
