Jayko
We walked forward, confidently and strongly. However, No amount of confidence could prepare us for what lies ahead. We saw that the darkness was overwhelming. RhobeWhis used a sphere of light to illuminate the room so you could barely see, and I gave my slime another gel I found. Light gel. The slime illuminated, and I told it to wrap around my head like a headlamp. It obeyed happily and made a blurble sound.
We heard another roar. We saw the Shadow beast was in front of us, and I charged into a Smouldering slash. It connected, but didn't do anything but barely pierce the hide. RhobeWhis used a rain of icicles. He must have learned from the fight against the other wizard. It only left a bruise on the thick skin.
The Shadow Beast used a monstrous roar, able to shake the earth. A darkness wave hit us hard, enough to cause concern, even through our armor, it hit hard. We went towards it, planning Night's fury on the hellish beast, while RhobeWhis used fireballs and so did my slime.
The attack made it try to use a large amethyst claw to impale me, but, I barely dodged. If I get hit by that, I'll be knocked unconscious, or worse. I dashed forward once again, hoping to use a basic fireball as well. I succeeded, and we noticed that it had started dashing around the room at mach speeds, it used some darkness wave, but aimed at one of us, it was almost impossible to block, so I opted for damage.
I used my Javelin to ensure damage and to burn him, which seemed to be an effective way to deal damage. Strategy would be key to winning. I dashed forward once again and threw the ruby-tipped javelin, and it pierced halfway through the hide. I saw it stopped for a moment, now on the ceiling, and The beast roared with another wave of darkness, and then continued the onslaught of attacks.
I felt a hit, another darkness blast hit me straight into the chest, making me out of breath. RhobeWhis used another sphere of light, then it seemed like they came up with an idea. One that would change the tide of the battle.
Soul Mimic
My master seemed to be focusing. Even through the monster's blasts towards him and hitting him. I tried to use soul siphon on the beast and it sucked out some of the souls of creatures he killed. As I tasted the delicious morsels of souls, I thought, cow, human, skeleton, slime, SOUL SKELETON!!!
That is a major boost my ever increasing strength. My power was enough. I ran towards the shadow beast and bit him, and it roared throughout the cave. Stalactites rained from above. However, most of them hit the shadow beast.
It roared even louder. Now aiming the sound above us. This was an extremely smart creature. I unlatched my large jaw and saw that Jayko slashed the stalactites with ease, protecting Jayko, but one was going to directly hit him. I tried to mold the souls I have and latch onto it and yank it into the shadow beast. It landed, then the shadow beast seemed merely annoyed.
I thought, trying to figure out what would work, but I realized. My master's analytical nature rubbed off on me! I thought and thought, and realized, I screeched loudly, trying to signal to use light as a move against it.
Jayko was confused, but RhobeWhis told me, "Way ahead of you buddy."
He continued to charge up immense power of light and fire, almost seeping out of his body and being released from his veins. His eyes suddenly turned red, as opposed to his normal blue it had two circles with a dot in the middle.
Jayko yelled, "No! You can't hit it, it's going too fast!"
RhobeWhis ignored him, and I was worried, but he continued. Forming the large mass of energy into a combined ball five times the size of a kickball, and it followed the unholy creature closely. RhobeWhis was preparing. Waiting for the moment to strike. I shot a large soul shotgun blast to hit it.
The shadow beast stopped suddenly, and I shot 5 souls at the hulking beast. Nothing could stop him now. My master sent the beam downward, sending the beam straight through the body and impaling the creature, sending a hole in the monster.
It went so fast, the attack sent a shock-wave from the light speed attack. The shadow beast roared even more, sending 3 waves of intense darkness at us.
The beast looked at us angrily. And it didn't look like it was calming down soon.
RhobeWhis
I saw as the shadow beast attacked us again.
And Jayko yelled, "You know, this battle really makes me feel empowered. I've been charging this power for a long time. Since the start of the battle, even. It feels like my spirit is manifesting itself and pouring out, like it has nowhere to go."
I gaped in realization. He had been charging this whole time. But for what? He started to release the ever-growing spirit, and then, it rested just outside his body. It looked uncomfortable, however, his muscles looked bigger and his strength increased from the spirit surrounding him.
He ran to the beast and used a night slash. But, his strength was so much, he was able to double slash. He continued the onslaught, not letting the shadow beast deal more damage or run.
He kept dealing more damage, and he went up-slash, right-slash down-slash up-slash. Over and over again. But then, he got tired, and had to stop.
As soon as the onslaught ended abruptly, the monster roared, sending all of us into the walls of the cave. I saw as Jayko's weird form ended. It must end when he takes damage.
The shadow beast used a powerful pierce on me. And I went unconscious.
Slime
I'm taking over since RhobeWhis was unconscious at the time. Blurble!
Jayko continued trying to deal damage, for 2 minutes, but, the shadow beast still didn't budge. He called it there. We lost. Jayko grabbed RhobeWhis and tried to run, but the shadow beast blocked the way out, spitefully.
He tried to have me use a fireball, but that didn't work either my fireball did nothing. None of the attacks would make it budge. Jayko had an idea. He attempted to use a flash of light, to blind it, then run.
When he did, the flash of light was so bright, I, without eyes, made a blurble sound in reaction. Jayko ran, even in his spirit form and escaped, by the skin of our teeth, now seeing the bright forest side with the cave overhang. The shadow beast chased after us, Blurble!
But, time suddenly stopped. An angel came down from the heavens, thinking it was the sign of a wish.
It said with an angelic voice, "What wish would you like?"
Jayko said it earnestly, without thinking, "Enchant my battle axe with a powerful enchantment, dreamt to all."
The angel said, "Your wish has been granted."
It soared back up to the heavens, Blurble!
Time resumed.
The shadow beast was chasing us angrily, when Jayko decided to do one more clutch spell, as a last resort. He attempted to cast invisibility.
He somehow succeeded again. I knew that that wouldn't happen again, but he dashed away, escaping, ending with a loss. But, we would be back. And we were gonna be ready then.
Author's note. The shadow beast used a desperation move
