Reset: DPS to Support?!

Chapter 7: Deep Into the Caverns

[ You have entered the instance dungeon 'Caverns of Altric', all outside communication is blocked. ]

[ You may not leave until the instance is done or you die in the dungeon. ]

Reading the notifications given by the system, Shinto's eyes shone with excitement. It's been a while since he went into an instance dungeon, but even then it would be a dungeon that had done before. Why go into an instance dungeon he went before? It would be to help out his friends or to grind a piece of equipment that has terrible drop rates, Shinto isn't really known to have good luck in rates...

The entire cavern was incredibly dark now with the stone gates closing off the outside world. Shinto looked around the area, trying to adjust to the dark, as he noticed petroglyph on the stone gates, with symbols of the core elements on it and at the epicentre of this, is a question mark.

"Petroglyphs of the elements?" He narrowed his eyes in order to focus on the petroglyphs engraved on the stone gates, quickly he noticed small letters on each of the element's symbols. Just like the previous monolith, it was written in a language that he could not understand.

Beside the Fire symbol {Urizm}, the Water symbol {Zjfzm}, the Earth symbol {Vgsiz}, the Thunder symbol {Gsfmaz}, the Wind smbol {Zvil}, the Light symbol {Hkrirg} and lastly, the Dark symbol {Elrw}.

"Just what kind of language is this?" Shinto questioned as he averted his gaze over to the epicentre of the petroglyphs, a question mark. 'Gifgs'.

"The same words as from the monolith and the log..."

"Just what does it mean?"

Thinking to himself Shinto shook his head as he quickly turned around, looking deep into the cavern, "I shouldn't try and analyzed this right now, there's still this dungeon to be explored first."

Shinto took a step forward, as he headed into the cavern layers, voided in darkness, he could make do with his vision now adjusted in the dark.

Walking ahead in this endless darkness, he sees a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel, Shinto fastens his pace whilst being on high alert. Who knows what monsters might jump at him in the darkness?

Reaching the end of the tunnel, he sees radiant blue light, giving the same feeling like the one from the monolith. As he entered the area, he noticed the place splitting off into two pathways, though locked by a gate, and at the middle of the area was the same monolith.

"...?"

Shinto made his way over to the monolith, the monolith gave the same blue hue like the one at the entrance, this is obviously where the light is coming from. Though who knew it would be this bright? Or maybe it was just because the cavern was too dark and any source of light would be bright in this endless darkness.

Looking at the monolith, the words on it were written in the same language as the one on the petroglyphs and on the monolith from the outside.

{Girzo lu Urizm}

{Uli lmxv gsviv dzh z hglib lu z sfmgivhh urtsgrmt ztzrmhg gsv uoznvh lu hkrirgfz, hsv dsl szh yvvm yvhgldvw fklm gsv yovhhrmt lm gsv 'sfmgiz' hvzovw zdzb z yvzhg xliifkgvw yb uoznvh, 'Ivuira'.}

{Touch the monolith to begin.}

Reading the monolith, he saw a familiar word he had seen earlier 'Urizm' "The word beside the fire symbol... So does mean whatever thing related to this monolith is of fire?"

Trying to connect the dots he sighed, "So if I touch this monolith... Something will begin?", Shinto looked over to the two pathways, blocked off by a gate.

"Hmm... Maybe it will open the gate?" Shinto shrugged "Well, let's see what this does."

Moving his hand over to the monolith, upon making contact with the monolith the blue hue suddenly turned into a red, blazing hot hue. Looking at the hue felt as if you're in a high-temperature room.

"WHO HAS AWAKEN ME?" A loud roar was heard from above Shinto.

[ Devourer of Flames, Refrinz has awoken! ]

[ He who burns all, has given all players in the field a permanent status ailment: Eternal Burn, all players will lose 30 HP every second. ]

[ With the presence of Efrinz's hellfire, anyone in range of 400 meters near him will have their Fire RES and DEF lowered by 50% and 25% respectively! ]

"Refrinz...?!" Shinto hurriedly looked up, as he sees a large beast with flames protruding on its dark horns, it's dark red skin with its ID glimmering with orange [Refrinz].

In the books of legend, Refrinz was a beast of the past age, he who was devoured by the flames of corruption. With his flames blazing through all, his presence itself melts away the lifeforms near him, he was a force to be reckoned with, he who wished for humanity's upbringing of destruction.

Refrinz glanced over to Shinto who looked like an ant from above as he sneered at him "You? HAHA! You think you can try against me?!" he smirked, "You foolish human!"

Shinto stood there dumbstruck at the sight of Refrinz, 'If we're following the games story view here... Wasn't Refrinz supposed to be sealed away?'

A long time ago as the past age came to an end, a huntress fought with Refrinz as he caused destruction to the land, quickly winning and then sealing him away. From the battle, the huntress became a legend praised by all.

Still staring dumbly at Shinto, Refrinz quickly huffed, sucking in the air in the area, as he quickly blew a breath of blaze from his mouth over to Shinto.

"...!" Seeing that the breath as coming right at him, Shinto hastily rolled over to the side as he took out his blue-black sword [Kurogane].

'Whatever...! Let's not think of this right now, I'm going to die if I don't focus!' Shinto thought to himself as he quickly went into a draw position, taking a breath as he calms himself. Soon after, Shinto leapt using Crescent Dawn as he quickly unsheaths his sword.

White light enveloped his sword as he unsheathes it, swiftly aiming towards to Refrinz,

[ Lunar Moon Technique: Tidal Moon Lv 6 ]

A technique derived from the moons in which the user sends a powerful attack over to the enemy, resulting in a large burst of damage that lowers the enemy's Light RES by 20% for 1 minute and buffs the user's strength by 45% for 5 minutes.

Sending over the skill attack towards Refrinz, he connected it with another attack [Moonlight Everlast], a skill in which it does 2000% of Shinto's strength to the enemy.

[ You have dealt 29,817 damage to Refrinz! ]

Connecting to the attack as it successfully hit the target, skimming over 1/3 of Refrinz's health.

"...!"

Shinto looked at the HP Bar below Refrinz's ID surprised. He was shocked to see he rid 1/3 of Refrinz's HP in just two attacks. Dealing only 29,817 damage.

'Isn't he a boss monster why does he have so little health?' Shinto thought to himself, though he couldn't think much as Refrinz quickly unleashes a pillar of hellfire around him.

Still, in mid-air, Shinto backflipped to avoid the hellfire that was sent towards him, quickly he unleashed another attack as green waves protruded from his sword to Refrinz.

[ Lunar Sword Technique: Moonlit Wave ]

A technique derived for the moons, under the moonlit nights the user sends 10 waves after waves of moonlight towards the enemy dealing 200% damage each.

[ You have dealt 4,921 damage to Refrinz! ]

[ You have dealt 4,921 damage to Refrinz! ]

[ You have dealt 4,921 damage to Refrinz! ]

...

Wave after wave continuously hit Refrinz, though a few had missed.

Just as the attack finished, Refrinz roared, "You annoying little ant think you could attack me?!" Refrinz once again unleashed pillar of hellfire onto Shinto, then following after he created blazing orange orbs around which he sent flying over to Shinto.

"...!" Meticulously dodging the hellfire pillars, he wasn't prepared for the blazing orbs as he was hit by one of them forcibly pushing him to the ground.

"Argh...!"

[ You have received 7,567 damage! ]

Shinto quickly got up as he looked at his HP in searing pain from the burn that followed after the attack, just from this one attack Refrinz dealt 1/3 of his HP?

'Tch... The damage from this burn is too big...'

Receiving 1,092 damage over 5 seconds, that was too much! Adding up with 30 damage every second from the debuffs which Refrinz give, he would be dead in no time if he isn't careful.

Beads of sweat dropped from Shinto's forehead from the rising temperature in the room, as he looked at Refrinz, looking at his HP Bar that is yellow now.

'Just a few more attacks and then we are done...'

"Haha fool! You can't kill me!" Refrinz shouted as he continued to send attack after attack onto Shinto, quickly forcing him to move about the field as he meticulously calculated where the attacks would hit in order to avoid the attacks.

As the first wave of attack came to an end, Refrinz started a second wave almost immediately after,

"Tch..." Shinto clicked his tongue as he continued moving about sending a few crescent wave attacks here and there towards Refrinz in the sky while he moved, slowly witting down his HP.

Just as the second wave ended, Refrinz prepared for a second wave but just as he was preparing, Shinto stopped in place within that interval as he went into a draw position. Quickly sending out an attack [Lunar Moon] towards Refrinz.

The moment [Lunar Moon] was sent towards Refrinz, Shinto leapt forward as he connected another attack, [Crescent Light], which protrudes white pillars of magic onto the enemy.

Those two attacks dealt 20921 damage in one go, which was what was needed in order to end Refrinz.

"ARGHHHHH!!" Refrinz screamed, as he slowly turned into grey ash. Though just before he disappeared completely he said his dying wish, "I WILL BE BACK! CURSE YOU HUMAN!"

The beast disappeared, as Shinto dropped to the ground, tired. While on the ground, he turned his gaze over to the system log.
