Reset: DPS to Support?!

Chapter 57: Shivuliz

"Hunt him down, my servants!" Shivuliz cried out as she weaved countless cobwebs in the surrounding area of Shinto.

"Tsk, how annoying." Shinto dodged the waves of cobweb as he simultaneously casted multiple attacks of mana sparks on the incoming spiders at his sides. "Are they seriously just going to ignore everyone else and only blindly go after me?" he mumbled as he quickly continued his way over towards Lucas and Ethaniel.

The distance from him and them was not too far now, but although the distance was short, making his way over to them was no easy task. This was because Shivuliz was in the way. Thus, in order to avoid any direct short-range attacks from her, Shinto had to take a detour.

"J-Just what is going on right now?!" Raina asked in confusion, "Why are all the enemies suddenly focusing on Shinto?"

"...Questions can be later! If this continues on, this damn guy will die!" Ethaniel his tongue as he leapt forward. At that moment, he tightly gripped onto his sword as he sent a shining bright arc over towards the waves of spider that was running over towards Shinto. "Lucas! Hurry up and get the aggro back will you?!"

"I'm trying to!" Lucas said in a hustle as he sent multiple cleaving strikes over to Shivuliz. "This boss won't keep her eyes off of Shinto!"

"Ugh! There's no way a mere priest can just instantly get the aggro off of us!" he shouted. "Just continue to strike at the boss till it shifts its attention to us!"

'Damn it, at this rate I'll have to reveal the other skills I've got... But if it comes to that, I can't hide the fact that I've got a hidden class...' Shinto thought to himself as he took a deep breath whilst he ran. Soon after, he calmly observed his surroundings. 'This boss is definitely after me because of my class which is why the aggro is fully on me... But is there a way to shift it again?'

Looking around the chambers, besides the blue crystals that quietly lit the room and the countless cobwebs that were everywhere, there were many stalagmites up above Shinto as well as a broken large larva egg by the distance at the end of the room.

'Maybe if the mage can break the stalagmites and make it fall...' Shinto narrowed his eyes over towards the top of the room. Quickly he turned towards Raina. "Raina!" he shouted out.

"H-Huh yes...!?" she said unwittingly.

"Aim Burning Wave or Fire Shot at the stalagmites up top on my count!" he said as he abruptly shifted his direction over towards the opposite side, where Shivuliz was. "If you want to get me, then shouldn't you do it yourself instead of commanding your servants to do it?" he taunted.

"Grrr... you! I'll make you pay for all this!!" she screamed as her pace was quickened. Moments later, the distance between Shinto and Shivuliz was cut short only a few meters.

The second she was about to reach Shinto, he wittingly rolled towards the side. "Raina, now!" he shouted out.

Upon hearing Shinto's command, she swiftly sent Burning Wave that she had been chanting up towards the roof of the chamber. In an instant, the stalagmites fell down towards Shivuliz, quickly piercing her body.

"Ethaniel, Lucas, all out!" he said, as he positioned himself distances away from the weakened Shivuliz.

"No need to tell me the obvious!" Ethaniel said as he slashed through the boss. Following up with his attack was Lucas who broke the ground below Shivuliz.

"Argh...!! You!!!" she glared at Shinto with bloodshot eyes, neglecting the surroundings. "...You...You... I will awaken again to find you and destroy you!"

The barrage of attacks from the two swordsmen quickly downed her health down towards the red zone. Although she was in the red zone, her gimmick that they were anxiously awaiting for previously before the fight was not seen at all.

After a while, the boss slowly disappeared as her last bits of health was gone.

...

"Huff... Huff..." Shinto took deep breaths as he scrutinized at the waves of notifications that he received after the defeat of the boss.

[ You have defeated the weakened soul of the spiders, Shivuliz! ]

[ You have levelled up to level 15! ]

[ You have levelled up to level 16! ]

[ You have obtained 20 stats point. ]

[ Your Shadow Stats has been increased by 2. ]

[ Your Divinity Stats has been increased by 2. ]

[ You have obtained 'Shivuliz's Soul Shard' ]

[ All other items that were dropped from the boss will be given to the party leader 'Raina' ]

[ Your Shadow Stats is now at 20! Certain benefits will now take into effect with the passive 'Divinity Gauge'. ]

[ You have received a call from the shadows... The skill 'Shadow Recreation' is shaking. ]

Shinto read through his notifications as he said in a tired mumble. "...Well that was anti-climatic... It's over just like this?"

From the message that he had received earlier before entering into the boss chamber, Shinto had at least expected for him to get something related to his class, like a class quest. However, at the end of the battle, all he got was vague information regarding his class and what seemed to be an exclusive item only for his class.

Although it wasn't what he was expecting, it was still something. "...I'll check this out later, for the time being..." he shook his head as he turned towards the other party members. 'For now... How do I explain the sudden shift of aggro to them?'

"Shinto! Are you okay?!" Raina rushed up towards Shinto in a hurry. "What on earth happened? How did the aggro suddenly shift like that?!"

"...I don't know," Shinto said in a tired voice.

"You don't know the reason as well?" Raina asked.

"Yeah... I just used my skills as asked and this thing happened," he continued.

"Hmm... Could it have something to do with the story view on Shivuliz?" Lucas said. "That would explain why she shifted her target fully to Shinto."

"...Hah? What bullshit are you talking about?" Ethaniel asked.
