7 months have passed and Xandit & Sanni are on the 8 floor's boss room. Doing a quest for cliff, they have to save cliff's brother a.k.a the boss of the floor.
(2 days ago)
"Congratulations on clearing floor 7."
"Thanks cliff without your guides we could not have made it this far"
"Well then I would request you to do something for.
When you're going to floor 8 the boss of that floor is my brother."
"WHAT! Your brother why?"
"If you let me finish you would have know."
"Sorry....."
"Well my brother is being controlled by an evil entity and has doubled his power.
I can weaken the entity but I can't exorcize it for that I will need your help Sanni Xandit."

"Of course we will help you cliff."
Quest accepted.
"But how do we know who you brother is?"
"He is a sphere just like me but a spirit sphere you can recognize him by his green glow and his name is Verefas."
(back to the present)
Opening the door, a green light came flowing out of the room. In the middle of the empty room was a green sphere giving off a enormous murder aura.
"So you have come again brother, you know it's pointless to keep on coming again and again and again, you know the outcome will be the save every time, you are not strong enough to kill me dear bother."
"This time will be different, I've bought some friend with me and I will not kill you I'll save you from what has taken over you."
"Pfff save ME! Why would I need SAVING when I choice to be possessed.
I will do anything to KILL that son of a *****.
That you chose to cower a way in the lower levels, I WON'T!
But I will give you a chance to proof yourself if you can defeat me.
I'll allow my soul to be clenched and will pled my loyalty to you if you promise to KILL our father."
"Fight me 1 on 1."

"I accept"
*Quest accepted
"Very well PREPAIR YOURSELF."
"I spirit of spirit call upon the spirit form of Xin Zhao(1)."
Verefas form of a sphere changed to a human form his ghostly appearance did not change still the same green glow. he had long hair, light armor, a spear as weapon and a slim but well build body one of a seasoned warrior.
After a stare down of 2 hours.
Xandit lost his focus for 1 second in that 1 second Verefas closed the gap between them and thrust his spear to Xandit's hearth.
Xandit deflecting the attack to the left and dashing in preparing to stab Verefas in his hearth but failing to do so When Verefas used his horizontal spear slash.
And smashed Xandit almost 20 meter away and doing 7% damage of his health.
The loss of health activated his skill Aoxtz killing intend. As the fight continued Xandit lost some more health but his skills also replenished his health.
After 20 minutes of fighting they were back to step one staring each other down again.
"Play time is over."
[Thunder]
A lightning bolt shoot out of his spear aimed at Xandit.
[magic shield barrier (left gauntlet)]
It reduced the damage done by the lightning bolt by 70%.
[Wind magic weapon media (right blade)].
Running to Verefas, Xandit slashed his blade in the air aiming to Verefas legs.
A wind blade cut his legs and reducing his movement speed by 10% momentarily.
In that moment Xandit could finally do some damage.
He rammed Verefas with his shield and with the other he stab him 4 time in his shoulder.
*CRITICAL HIT
Verefas had to back off while thrusting his spear in a defensive way
"Well done but that won't be enough"
[Spirit heal]
[Thunder aura]
Lighting struck Verefas body but instead of damaging him it wrapped around his body.
For a test Xandit through a rock at him it was turn to dust instantly.
So Xandit started to draw in a lot of ax from his surroundings And also surrounding his body with AX to form a protected skin.
[Skill AX skin active, barrier strength 35000 HP]
Xandit dashed in to battle once again fighting like true master of his shield style.
he used his left magic barrier shield technique to put pressure on Verefas while minimizing the damage to himself in combination with his AX barrier.
the moment he was in a good position he attacked and weakened the thunder aura and absorbing a little bit of the AX of his thunder aura and there by strengthening his own barrier.
They kept fighting like this with no end in sight
(After 2 days of fighting)
They had only 1% health left no mana and almost no stamina.
"Let's end this if you can defend from this last attack I will consider it my loss
As you have already proven yourself by fighting me for this long."
"Very well we will end it in one last strike."
Verefas used all his remaining stamina and sacrificed almost all his HP and focused it on the tip of his spear, took his stands and rushed in. The advantaged Verefas had over Xandit was his speed when his stamina was on zero his speed also dropped so Xandit could now easily dodge Verefas attack.
Xandit stepped in low and dogged Verefas attack but he was not finished Xandit went in further and successfully pointed his blade at Verefas throat.
"Do you surrender?"
"Do you promise to kill our father?"
"Cliff?"
"You don't have to worry I have the same goal as Verefas, we only different methods."
"I'll promise to kill your father."
"Then I surrender"

"Thank you Xandit and Sanni for saving my brother."
"Did I not tell you I did not need saving!"
"In my eye you did, you let yourself be possessed and it was taking you over.
Only because of your pride that was not gone you fought a 1 vs 1 duel fair and you surrender. If you did not have that little control over your own mind we would have no chose but to kill you."
"Ahh. Bull sh!t."
"Never mind we will talk about this another time.
Back to topic thank you Xandit Sanni for you help so far."
"No problem you help us train and made us stronger without your help we could not even begin to match Verefas strength or yours."
"Show me your stats and skill and I give you some advice on what to train next."
