The final boss completed its spell and a four foot sphere of condensed wind flew forth and slammed into the golden wind golem.

-Immune-

The wind lord began to cast its AOE self burst spell which forced me to wait to approach, but allowed for my cooldowns to reset.

A few seconds later he completed the spell and I rushed forward and attacked.

Rapid strikes!

Critical Hit!Hit!Hit!Hit!Hit!Hit!

Extremely effective! (fire🔥)

You have dealt 3900 damage! (4100/30000hp)

Power attack! [Main hand] (off-hand normal)

Extremely effective!(fire🔥)

Hit! Hit!

You have dealt 1756 damage! (2344/30000)

The Wind Lord had reached less than 10% health and began to enrage instantly becoming a large swirl of wind that spun like a tornado.

I could feel myself being dragged toward the Wind Lord, who was gathering speed and becoming larger and larger. With a great effort, I managed to pull away and get back to where Tide stood.

The golems were sucked up into the tornado and whipped around violently.

-Immune-

Shit! I couldn't get close to that thing!

The bow! I'm not the best archer but I do have training with a bow, enough to be able to hit a target.

I accessed my inventory and equipped the flame bow.

The bowstring was made of magical fire and the bow had an awesome red metallic look to it that was smooth and reflective. It was covered in runes that lit up as I pulled back the string, which created an arrow made of flame.

A bow like this was far preferable to a regular recurve bow. I didn't have to fumble with knocking an arrow, I just pulled back and let go.

Hit!

Extremely effective! (fire🔥)

You have dealt 220 damage! (2124/30000)

Ding!

Core skill-bow created [rank 1] level 1- +20% accuracy +5%damage +5% critical strike chance

Upon firing the first arrow I noticed that a number was showing in the corner of my screen. 99/100

I also noticed that the bow was powered by soulstones embedded on the back, almost hidden from view.

It must be the number of charges for the bow.

Tide was forced to yell at me, because the Wind Lord was producing so much sound I could barely hear him, " Keep going! He's almost dead! Go! Hurry!"

"I am!"

I shot the bow as fast as I could.

Hit!

Extremely effective ! (fire🔥)

You have dealt 230 damage! (1914/30000hp)

Hit!

Extremely effective ! (fire🔥)

You have dealt 260 damage! (1654/30000hp)

I chipped away at his health with the bow a little at a time.

Hit! Hit! Hit! (97/100)

Extremely effective!(fire🔥)

You have dealt 710 damage! (944/30000hp)

The tornado grew larger and larger, coming ever closer to us. The loose dirt and sand beneath me flew towards the cyclone, making me more and more nervous. I had no choice but to continue firing.

Hit!Hit!Hit!Hit! (93/100)

Extremely effective!(fire🔥)

You have dealt 929 damage! (15/30000hp)

I was so focused on using the bow that I didn't notice Tide drawing a rune.

A ball of light shot out from his rune and hit the boss.

-50 damage (0/30000hp)

Player Tidalus Maximus has successfully cast soul steal! Soulstone[Rank 2] created!

Ding!

You have slain Level 10 Wind Lord[Boss]! Gained 30000 experience! (156,450/180,000)

The raging tornado was sucked into the tiny ball of light and flew into the stone that Tide held in his hand.

"Yeah!" Tide pumped the air in excitement and I smiled in satisfaction.

I had begun to trust Tide and knew the rank 2 soulstone would be useful to us.

"Loot!"

I ran to loot the bodies, excited about what I would find.

"Soooo awesome!!"

Tide ran around the room hooting and hollering in excitement at his loot like a fool.

I heard the grinding of gears and a pedestal began to rise from the center of the room.

This only added to his excitement. "Another Hieroglyph! Holy crap, I gotta hurry!"

He frantically pulled his scrolls out of his inventory and began to rapidly trace the rune and create magical scrolls.

He talked to himself as he worked, "Another spell from that strange school of magic! This one is rank 2! It's so simple too!"

I saw that the pedestal had the same four symbols -META-

The rune that Tide was tracing was just a circle with the beginning of 3 lines that did not complete or intersect.

"What's it called?" I asked Tide.

"Copy"

"Yes I know your copying but what is the spell called?"

"It's called copy." He said with a laugh.

I nodded and let him focus.

He was able to complete 20 scrolls before the pedestal dropped back into the floor and a door opened in the wall. The door was the same as the last floor and led to a stairway.

"Shall we?" I said to Tide who had a big grin on his face.

"Let's do this!"

We entered the stairway and moved on to the third floor.

Before us in the corridor was an earth elemental, a wind elemental, a fire elemental, and an ice elemental.

Shit!
