"Heh, thanks...I think?"

After hearing Lowenthal's response he felt the young man use a potion on him, seeing his overhealth from his <<Stonewall>> mod be restored to full as he gave a smirk, "I think that goes for both of us, heh. I'd hate to think about how she'd take that. Alright then, let's see how hard this guy hits."

Rushing forward Calrex gave a calming breath as he closed the distance to the hulking giant of a humanoid. However, as he was about to get into striking range he saw the creature's fist come flying at him, wrapped up in strange black tendrils. Quickly forming the Grand Guard in front of him he braced for the impact, feeling the strike slam into his guard. At the same time he felt a secondary strike shoot out from the impact point, as if the monster had fired something like a shotgun from his arm, "That attack..."

Quickly separating his shield the bluenette recognized the attack pattern. It was similar to how he had fought in the past wielding the Grand Gauntlets. Giving a quick focusing exhale he triggered <<Charge>> and <<Nova Ascension>> as he flew forward, unleashing the barrage of slashes before he spun around and slammed the hilt of the Grand Blade into the giant's temple.

Seeing the Stun effect trigger he leapt back, giving a nod to Lowenthal, "Alright, you're up!"

Lowenthal readied himself, and dashed forward. And of all the places to step, he had to find the loosest stone. When he stepped on it mid-run, he tripped. His Sword Art was canceled mid-activation, and he slid on his feet for several meters. He rolled forward, onto his feet and dusted himself off. He was thankful that it was so dark, otherwise his embarrassment would warrant some red face. "Ah, crap-baskets." He muttered to himself, as he refocused on the boss of the dungeon. "Alright, got him this time." Lowenthal said, readying himself again.

"Alright, sounds good!"

"Well, it doesn't really help that this entire battle area is shrouded in darkness. I can barely see my hand in front of my face."

Looking over at the stunned behemoth of a dungeon boss Calrex gave a calming breath before rushing forward, but as he did the creature looked over at him, it's gaze seemingly having some kind of effect of him. It didn't inflict a sense of fear, but certainly hesitation. He stopped his advance almost as quickly as he started it, focusing his senses on his opponent.

"Darn, I've wasted my opportunity to attack, but that doesn't mean I can't ensure this guy doesn't target Lowe."

Flipping the Grand Blade into a reverse grip the Ultramarine Knight raised his sword high as it began to emanate the powerful light blue aura of his <<Howl>> skill. The Grand Dragoon armor seemed to emanate the same energy before he brought the sword down, impaling it into the ground. The energy burst out in the form of a powerful roar that show out from him like a sound wave. As it passed by the dungeon boss the creature locked its eyes on the bluenette as he extracted his sword.

"Okay, go for it!"

Lowenthal rushed at the beast again, this time he was sure to hit. Thanks to it's massive size, it was much easier to hit. What made it even better was that Calrex activated his 'howl' skill, which lit the room up greatly for a second. Lowenthal's kunai hit it's mark, and he activated his strongest Sword Art. Not only did he deal a nice chunk of damage. He also added bleed and paralysis effects to the creature. "There, now kick it's ass while it can't move." Lowenthal said to Cal.

"Heh, I'll see if I can!"

As he saw Lowenthal hit the dungeon boss with a significant amount of damage the Ultramarine Knight readied the Grand Blade, rushing forward. However as he got into striking range his vision blurred. The glow from the creature's eyes seemed to have messed with his trajectory as his sword flew clear of its mark, unable to even trigger a Sword Art due to the bluenette's positioning being off.

"What in the world? Is that creature's gaze trying to affect me?"

Closing his eyes for a few seconds he centered himself, slowly opening his eyes before locking them on the creature. Regaining his focus he looked back over at his teammate, giving a nod, "Alright, give it another shot! I'll be right behind you!"

Looking back at the guardian he brought his arms in front of him, preparing for any potential incoming attacks. Since he had the highest aggro of the two players, he wanted to be ready for the creature's next attack.

Lowenthal saw that the monster was able to move again. "Dammit Calrex, I said hit it!" Lowenthal said, performing his weakest move in his arsenal.  "See? Hitting it's easy." Lowenthal said, as he noticed his energy was running low. "Well, at least I can keep it paralysed. Or we can wait a few seconds to let my energy recharge. You tell me what to do." Lowenthal said, preparing himself.

"Heh, well don't go wasting your energy on small-time attacks. Build it up for now, I'll keep this guy distracted."

After Lowenthal succeeded with his attack Calrex immediately followed suit. The Grand Blade lit alight with the dark purple glow of his <<Shadow Explosion>> Sword Art as he closed the distance before executing the rapid series of slashes iconic of the attack, reaching the ninth strike where he did a quick hop into a 360 spin before bringing his sword down in a sharp diagonal slash.

Right as his attack completed he saw the guardian's eyes seem to seethe even more glowing blue energy as its gaze intensified. Even though it was paralyzed, the threatening presence it had seemed to grow. Its right hand opened slightly as a massive blade seeming forged out of a mixture of stone and organic matter appeared, being as long and wide as the dungeon boss itself.

"Yeah...keep focusing on recovering your energy Lowe!"

Lowenthal lept back to a safe distance away from the creature, and Lowenthal sat down. It wouldn't let his energy recover faster, but it helped. At least he had a good show. Two proverbial titans clashing in  what was a bout to the death. Calrex could easily solo the boss mob, from what Lowenthal could tell. Only thing Lowe could do is sit and wait. He wasn't boss material. He was, basically, an assassin. Someone who could do a lot of damage in an instant. And as Boss tier mobs had a [censored] ton of health, he would have a good 2 attacks, and be done with it. If the boss mob wasn't the key to the exit, Lowenthal would've left by now. He hated being useless, and not having energy made him just that.

As Lowenthal continued to recover his energy Calrex and the creature continued to clash as they exchanged blow after blow, attempting to gain the upper hand.

"Tch...for having such a large sword it's certainly swinging that hunk of whatever it's made of rather deftly."

Seeing another attack come towards him the blunette quickly reformed the Grand Guard as he readied for the strike. The massive blade slammed into the tower shield as Calrex felt himself get slid a good ten paces from the momentum of the attack. Giving a few calming breaths he shoved his arms upward, deflecting the blow aside as the Grand Blade became visible, alight with the dark purple glow of <<Shadow Explosion>> once again. Rushing forward he rapidly slashed with the nine blows iconic of the Sword Art before leaping back.

Looking at his health he saw that a decent chunk was knocked off once again as he returned his focus back to the guardian, "Alright...just keep up this pace..."

Lowenthal stood up. "Oh my god, Cal. Just kill it already!" Lowenthal called out to the bluenette warrior. Lowenthal could literally think of a million better things to do, that did not include staring at a monster being toyed with. Lowenthal scoffed at his inability to do anything worthwhile. He was such a low level, and had a low energy count because of that. Being a dps user sucked.

"Alright alright, I'm working on it!"

Calrex gave a light-hearted tone to his reply as he gave a calming breath. Seeing the creature's attack come in once again his eyes seemed to narrow into a fierce appearance for a second, as if he found something that would end the battle. The monstrous beast's sword came down as if to cleave the bluenette in half, but right as it seemed it would connect the slab of metal was stopped by his Grand Guard once again. Quickly pushing upwards with all his might the Ultramarine Knight shoved the sword back before dropping into a low stance, the Grand Blade blazing alight with the fiery orange glow of his <<Howling Octave>> Sword Art

Rushing forward Calrex closed the distance as a flurry of stabs came out in a star pattern, piercing through the beast fives times before he spun around, slashing downwards across its mid-section in a diagonal strike. However, instead of clearing his sword path the bluenette stopped as he reached centerline, reangling the blade while it was still deep into the creature's torso. Crouching low he leapt upwards, cutting upwards as the sword cleaved up, bisecting the monster's head. As his jump reached its apex he came back down and cut down the open path, splitting the dungeon boss completely in half before it burst into crystals.

With a small sigh Calrex stood upright, stumbling for a second from enduring the blows before giving a grin to his teammate, "Dungeon boss down..."

"Alright, high five!" Lowenthal said in cheer as Calrex killed the boss mob. "Good [censored]. Now, wheres the exit I wonder?" Lowenthal said, trying to look around. The low light made everything almost impossible to see, and Mari wasnt here to lend her nught vision for him this time. "Cant see a damn thing." Lowenthal cursed to himself squinting into the darkness. "You see anything?" Lowenthal asked the bluenette beside him.

-2 turns till full energy-

"Darn, nothing that I can see so far."

With the battle concluded Calrex gave a sigh of relief, resheathing his sword before returning his hands to his jacket pockets. Glancing at his health bar he saw it begin its regeneration from being out of combat, along with his energy making its way up by a sliver, "Just a few more seconds and I'll be back to full energy again..."

"In any case, we'd best stick together for now. With this darkness it'll be easy to get separated."

Hearing ambient noises from the general perimeter the bluenette felt his combat senses still on high alert, "Plus we don't want to get caught while our energy is still replenishing."

Gently placing his hand on the Grand Blade once again he gave a few calming breath, making sure he was still ready to strike at a moment's notice, "Lowe's still going to be low on energy for a few more seconds. Guess I'm on lookout in the meantime until then."

Lowenthal nodded his head, not like Calrex could see it. "You mean even with all of those fancy skills of yours you can't even see in the dark? Tsk tsk Calrex, you're slacking." Lowenthal said, playing with the man as he watched his energy regai slowly but surely. Just a few more moments and he'd be ready for combat again. "How many more do you think we have till we're home free? Getting kinda sick and tired of all of this dark." Lowenthal commented aloud as the two traversed the darkness.

"Heh, hey having owl eyes wasn't high on the importance list. Don't worry, a few more skill points and that will be over."

He gave a smirk, responding with a joking tone, since he wasn't able to see if Lowenthal could tell if he expression. Seeing his energy climb up a point once again he made sure Lowenthal wasn't under attack, although the silence also confirmed that suspicion, "In any case, at least things haven't decided to attack us just yet. Let's just hope whatever we're going to encounter doesn't make this area its home. Either that or we find some way out."

Keeping his hand on the Grand Blade's hilt he gave a calming breath. The darkness was certainly making things difficult, but it was only a small hindrance, one that he knew both of them could handle easily.

"Or at least they attack us one at a time. If we get swamped again, I don't have the energy for that." Lowenthal said, chuckling slightly. His strongest move took a chunk on his energy, and not to mention that Calrex's damage output was only just slightly under his own. Lowenthal missed his night vision. Hell, Lowenthal missed a lot of things. But he tried to keep himself above water, and focus on the shoreline ahead. "Alright Cal, my energy's full. Ready when you are." Lowenthal said, readying his dagger hearing something getting closer.

"Yeah, just give me one more sec."

Right as the second passed by Calrex saw the third flash of light from his out of combat energy recovery, the entirety of his blue bar filling up to the maximum. He was ready to fight once again, just like his teammate. The only problem was that there was still no sign of an exit, nor monsters spawning, "Geezes, still nothing?"

Calming his senses he tried to relax his eyes to help them adjust to the darkness. He no longer had <<Night Vision>>, but he certainly still could, to some level, adapt naturally to their surroundings enough that he could make out at least anything that could cast a little bit of light.

This in fact turned out to be true as he saw that looked to be a circling ramp leading upwards along the outside perimeter of their battle arena, or at least the start of it, "Looks like I may have made out our way out of here."

Walking over to the ramp he began to ascend the slop, "Careful, it's rather skinny from what I can tell. We might need to brace against the cavern wall so that we don't fall off."

Lowenthal followed Calrex closely. "Alright, about damn time." Lowenthal said. "As much as I love oversized dark and dank caves, this place was starting to lose it's homely touch." Lowenthal joked as he began to ascend. Lowenthal's ear's perked as he heard rocks clatter from above. "Ready up, I don't we're alone. You take point, I'll cover." Lowenthal said, noting Cal's obvious tankiness in comparison to his own. Lowe couldn't tank anything for crap, by literal definition Lowe was a glass cannon, he was able to dish the damage, but not take it.

"Sounds good to me."

Calrex gave a nod as he raised the Grand Blade high, "Alright then, if there are enemies around, let's see where they're at."

His sword glowed blue as his <<Howl>> skill's energy built around it, whirling rapidly like a miniature tornado before he slammed it into the ground, the energy exploding out in a monstrous roar. The sound wave passed by the four creatures that were lying in wait on the walls just above, sliding their way down on threads.

Seeing their eyes flash red from gaining Hate, the bluenette gave a nod, "I guess that spider from before decided to leave us a parting present. Get ready Lowe!"

Seeing the four leap at him the Ultramarine Knight quickly weaved side to side, avoiding the small fangs of the creatures as they moved by.

Lowenthal looked up as the Time-Spinners leapt down from above. Lowenthal dashed backwards to avoid the surprise attacked. "Little bastards, almost had us." Lowenthal said to himself. Calrex had already used his Howl ability and drawn all of the Time-Spinner's attention. The mobs were on such a small and thin ledge, Lowe reckoned he could hit all four at once. And, for the first time ever, Lowenthal activated his only AoE skill. His body dashed forward to met Calrex, and behind him the mobs fell and turned to pixels. "That was easy. Wish they were all like that." Lowenthal said, half jokingly.
