Reset: DPS to Support?!

Chapter 29: Secret



Chapter 29: Secret

Hearing that Shinto was about to explain, Frey's eyes sparkled as she waited for his answer, "Well? What kind of class is it?!" She said excitedly.

Still trying to make up the words to explain, he thought to himself, 'It's inevitable that I'll have to reveal my class to my teammates one day. Especially when it's necessary for me to tell them about the characteristic of the skill, but for now... I don't think it's the right time.'

Taking a deep breath, he said to Frey in a calm voice, "...Well, It's a secret."

"E-Eh...?!" Frey cried out in shocked, "Secret?!"

"Mhm," Shinto nodded his head as he continued making his way through the caverns, "So I can't tell you."

"...Not even a little bit?"

"Nope."

"...A teensy weensy bit?"

"Nope."

"Ahh! I'm too curious! Just what kind of class is it that you have to keep a secret?!"

"Maybe someday I'll tell you?" Shinto shrugged as he continued down the path of the caverns.

"Aww, man! Seriously?" Frey blinked at the statement as she hurriedly tried to catch up with Shinto.

"Yeah, someday."

"Sigh fine... I'll wait then," Frey pouted as she finally caught up with Shinto.

"You won't be disappointed, I think."

"I hope!"

"Aha... Now come on, they are monsters ahead."

...

Fighting the monsters within the caverns, Shinto and Frey successfully defeated them.

[ You have defeated Leazardri! ]

[ You have defeated Leazardri! ]

[ Your level has risen to level 9! ]

As they turned into grey ash, Shinto's eyes turned towards his system notification as he opened up his information window.

'Alright... I have quite the amount of stat points now, I should spend them on some stats for this upcoming battle.' Shinto thought to himself as he turned towards the inner depths of the cavern, where he could see a wide area up ahead.

'Since I'll be mainly supporting Frey... Survivability and speed should be prioritized.'

Without any more thought on it, Shinto placed 10 points into Stamina and Agility respectively. Soon after doing so, he closed his window as he looked over towards Frey.

"Alright, Frey, what level are you right now?" He asked.

"Hmm? I'm level 10 right now, but I'm almost near level 11!" Frey replied excitedly.

"I see," Shinto nodded his head, "So we're almost at the end of the cavern. If I remember correctly, there should be a boss waiting for us at the end."

"Oh?! A boss? Sign me up!"

"The boss should be doable for us two, so as long we don't mess up we'll be able to defeat it."

"What kinda boss is it?"

"It's an insect-type. I don't remember much of the details, but it has decent damage and high agility, so we'll need to be careful of that."

"Right! Got it! Do I have note of anything else?"

"Besides that, not at all. Just do what you have always been doing, the boss should be easier since it's in the beginner area, so we don't have to meticulously plan anything," Shinto said, "Though, just don't get hit so much. I don't think I can keep up with healing you if you take too much damage, control the aggro and we should be fine."

"Control the aggro? How do I do that?"

"To put it simply, don't let me become the target of the boss, otherwise I'll die."

"Ah... So... Block his eyesight from seeing you?"

Shinto coughed at the question, "No, not block his eyesight, you don't have to do that. Just deal damage and make sure the boss just stays on you, the moment you notice the boss moving its eyes away from you, quickly activate a chain or skill to get back it's attention on you."

"Alright! Thanks for the explanation, master! Now let's be on our way and fight this boss!!" Frey excitedly walked ahead.

"Hah, this girl..." Shinto sighed as he followed behind her.

...

Reaching to the end of the tunnel, Shinto and Frey headed into a wide area of the cavern. Taking a step into the area, the many lights of the litmus bugs from before slowly disappeared, as only a handful remained.

The small amount of light made the area eerily creepy and to add on to the creepiness was the silence. Besides the small water droplets that could be vaguely heard around the area, everything was quiet.

"This is giving me some chills..." Frey whispered over to Shinto.

"Be on high alert. The boss could appear and strike at any time."

"Right. Where will it appear from?"

"It should..." The moment Shinto was about to reply, he heard a screech from above. Soon after, he hurriedly shouted out, "Frey! Leap towards the sides now!"

"Ah...! Right!" Heeding Shinto's sudden order, she leapt towards the side. From behind her, she felt a rumbling sensation, turning back, she shuddered at the sight of a giant centipede-like monster in front of her, with its name in red indicating it was boss monster, [ Centripedas ].

"T-That's the boss?" She said meekly at the sight of the centipede. Its size was humongous compared to the humans beside it. Boasting a height of one meter and with its length being forty centimetres long.

"Yeah, get ready, we're beginning!"

"Right...!" Frey hastily made her way towards the boss as she initiated the fight with a skill, [ Blitz Fist ].

As the boss was hit, the large insect let out a roar as it swept its body over towards Frey.

"Avoid it!" Shinto shouted out as he sent a blinding light over to the monster.

Not wasting a second, Frey scrunched over to the side of the boss as she continued attacking. Following after blitz fist, she sent multiple basic attacks to Centripedas, slowly building up her combos and dealing damage.

From behind Frey, came Shinto as he sent a veil of shadow over towards where she was at. Quickly having her attacks slightly becoming faster.

"SCREEEE!" Centripedas roared as it continued sweeping its body around, ignoring the effects of the veil. Unable to dodge all of the attacks, Frey received some of the attacks, which took portions of her HP.

"Argh...! The boss hits so hard!" Frey said in shock as she turned towards her health bar, where 1/2 of her health was left just from a few hits.

"Don't worry I've got you," Shinto said calmly as he used Mark of Umbra on Frey, quickly healing her up.

"Thanks!"

The continuous attacks from Frey and the support from Shinto smoothly flowed through as they slowly depleted the HP of the boss.

"It's almost to half!" Frey excitedly shouted out as she saw the HP bar on the boss. Her attacks hastened as she fastened her pace.

"Keep it up!"

As they smoothly battled the boss, the monster suddenly raised it's body up.

"A-Ah...?! What's it doing-" Frey abruptly stopped attacking as she saw the sudden movement from the boss. The next instant, Centripedas unleashed a green gas from its mouth over towards Frey.
