Lucy revived!

Lucy slowly opened her eyes, feeling groggy and disoriented. The last thing she remembered was the bottle pressed to her lips before everything went black. She blinked a few times and found herself lying on Charles’s lap. He looked down at her with a relieved expression.

"You're alive!" he exclaimed.

Lucy shook her head, trying to clear the fog in her mind. "What happened?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Charles's smile faded a bit, and he held up a bottle filled with a bright orange liquid. "The bastard killed you," he said, "but I found this."

Revival Potion Used to revive fallen companions and restore their HP.

Lucy's eyes widened as she recognized the potion in his hand. It was a revival potion, a rare item that could bring a fallen player back to life. She had heard stories of players using it in desperate situations, but she never thought she would need it herself.

"I found it in the loot while Ivy, Tashina, Loretta, and Byron distracted Daddy Jones," Charles explained. "They are still fighting him."

Lucy nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. If they didn't defeat Daddy Jones, they would never be able to leave the temple. She got up, feeling a surge of energy as the potion coursed through her veins.

"Thanks," she said, grabbing her cutlass. "Let's finish this."

"But you just-" Charles started, but Lucy cut him off.

"My health is full," she said. "I can fight. If we don't finish this fight, he will destroy us all."

Charles nodded, a determined look on his face. "We'll fight him together then."

Lucy smiled, grateful for his support. Together, they charged toward Daddy Jones, who was busy fighting their friends. Ivy glanced at Lucy and widened her eyes.

"Lucy! You're alive!" she exclaimed.

Lucy smirked. "Keep your focus on the dungeon boss!"

Byron struck the ghost pirate's tail with his sword. "He is weakening so far!" he yelled.

Daddy Jones HP: 50

Daddy Jones turned his attention to Lucy, his ghostly eyes blazing with anger. "You'll never defeat me!" he snarled.

Lucy gritted her teeth. "Father! Why can't you remember me?" she shouted. "Do you not remember you have a daughter!?"

Daddy Jones glared at Lucy. "I only remember to serve Raigon!" he spat. "Anyone who enters his temple must die!"

Lucy's expression hardened. "Then I am sorry that I must defeat you," she said.

With that, Lucy charged forward, her cutlass raised high. Charles followed close behind, ready to back her up. Together, they fought with all their might, striking at Daddy Jones with all their might. The ghost pirate was tough, but they were determined to succeed.

Finally, Lucy struck Daddy Jones's chest, and then he roared in pain.

Critical Hit! Daddy Jones HP: 0

The ghost dog glanced at Lucy while his body faded away.

"Lucy…" His last words echoed peacefully. "Thank you…"

Boss fight completed! You defeated Captain Daddy Jones! You received 30,000 EXP! You leveled up! One proficiency point received!

Lucy kept leveling up until she reached level 33. She has fourteen proficiency points in total, which she definitely needed to spend.

Lucy and Charles collapsed on the ground, exhausted but victorious.

"Good job," Charles said, grinning at Lucy. "We did it."

Lucy smiled back, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over her. "Yeah, we did."

Her father's last words stirred inside her head. Did he finally remember her before his passing?

If only he could give her answers before she put him out of his misery. But most importantly, Lucy and her party survived the battle, and they have a reward to collect. The entire chamber treasury!
