Issei recognised this sort of form. He’d come across it in some RPG games. Snikch was now Ethereal, unable to be hit by non-magical weaponry. The fact that his weapons remained solid meant one of two things. One, that Warpstone was partially immune to the effects of skills. Or, Two, the skill that Snikch used didn’t affect magical weapons point blank.
’Wait a minute...why would he use a skill or spell that turned him ethereal? He has to know that my ninjatō are currently magically enhanced, so more than able to hurt him in that form.’ Issei thought with a frown.
The fact that Snikch could use spells or active skills was something quite new to Issei. Both Byral and Farsqueaker had relied on basic attacks when fighting him and both iterations of Boneripper had done the same, aside from Boneripper Revived’s Warpfire Thrower. None of the other bosses since then had used skills or spells either.
Things were becoming interesting.
"He who fights and scuttles away, lives to fight another day, Man-Thing." The Assassin hissed as he sheathed his [Weeping Blades], "You have proven-showed yourself to be worthy prey. Should you live past the next Den, I shall take great pleasure in kill-killing you!"
With that, the ratman’s shadow form sank into the floor, leaving Issei alone in the candlelit room.
