Chapter 98: Rank F
Chapter 98: Rank F
Warlock Ch 98. Rank F
Fenrith leaped forward, his powerful jaws clamping down on the Guardian's neck, dealing a crushing blow as he tore through its armor.
[Molten Guardian] took 200 damage.
The Guardian fell with a heavy crash, its flames sputtering out as its form dissolved into nothingness.
Damian turned his attention to the remaining two servants, his heart pounding with determination. The Void Wraith and Stormbeast were weakened, but they weren't out yet. He tightened his grip, ready for the final push.
"Alright, team," Damian called, his voice steady as his eyes flashed with fierce determination. "Let's finish this together."
The Void Wraith and Stormbeast, though battered, still had fight left in them, but Damian was ready to end this.
"Bloodwing, keep the Stormbeast busy!" he ordered, and with a sharp caw, the raven dove toward the Stormbeast, its claws extended. The Stormbeast snarled, charging up another [Electric Surge], but the raven was relentless, weaving through the air and keeping the creature's focus off Damian.
"Fenrith," Damian said, giving his loyal companion a nod. "Let's handle the Void Wraith."
Fenrith growled in agreement, his eyes locked on the Wraith, whose smoky form flickered in and out of focus. Damian activated [Spectral Surge], feeling a sudden boost in speed and reflexes, his body moving with a ghostly trail that seemed to confuse the Void Wraith's shifting eyes. The energy coursed through him, heightening his senses and making each movement feel sharper, more precise.
The Void Wraith blinked behind him, reaching out with its shadowy hand to unleash another [Soul Drain]. But Damian was ready, his boosted reflexes allowing him to sidestep and counter with a powerful [Dark Bolt].
The concentrated blast of dark energy hit the Wraith dead-on, causing it to stagger back, its form flickering as it struggled to recover.
[Void Wraith] took 200 damage.
As the Void Wraith faltered, Fenrith lunged forward with a vicious [Savage Bite], his fangs sinking into the creature's shifting form. The Wraith let out a distorted wail, its HP ticking down as Fenrith's powerful jaws tore through it.
[Void Wraith] took 180 damage.
Damian could see its HP dropping rapidly, the combined force of his [Dark Bolt] and Fenrith's attack pushing it closer to defeat. But he didn't want to leave anything to chance. He raised his hand, summoning a dark spear that burned with intense flames.
"[Hellfire Spear]!"
The spear blazed through the air, piercing the Void Wraith with a burst of dark fire that consumed its form. The Wraith let out one final, anguished wail before its HP dropped to zero, its form dissolving into the shadows.
[Void Wraith] took 250 damage.
With the Void Wraith defeated, Damian turned his focus to the remaining threat. The Stormbeast. Bloodwing Raven was keeping it occupied, swooping in and out with precise strikes, while the creature's HP continued to drop.
"Raven, let's hit it hard!" Damian called, his eyes flashing with determination as he raised his hand, preparing for one final strike. "[Dark Dominion]!"
Dark energy surged around him, spreading out in a fifteen-meter radius, engulfing the Stormbeast in a swirling aura of shadows. The creature howled as the dark energy chipped away at its HP, sapping its strength and leaving it vulnerable.
[Stormbeast] took 200 damage per second.
Bloodwing Raven let out a screech and dove in with [Life Siphon], draining the last remnants of the Stormbeast's health as the dark energy continued to eat away at it.
[Stormbeast] took 145 damage.
The Stormbeast let out a defeated snarl before collapsing, its form dissolving into crackles of electricity and fading into the darkness. Damian let out a breath.

Damian turned to Cassius with a grin. "I just got my rank!" he announced, his voice brimming with excitement.
Cassius gave him a steady look, arching an eyebrow ever so slightly. "So, you're a Rank F Warlock now, huh?"
"Yup!" Damian replied, pride shining in his eyes. Beside him, Fenrith and Bloodwing Raven seemed to share his enthusiasm.
"Good," Cassius said, his tone as flat as ever.
Damian's grin widened; he'd rarely heard anything that even resembled praise from Cassius, so this moment felt especially satisfying. For a second, he almost forgot where they were—until Cassius reached into his robe and pulled out another flask, this one filled with a swirling weird looking liquid. It was called "Draught of Elemental Servants".
"Here," Cassius said, holding up the flask. "Your reward."
Damian's eyes lit up, but the feeling was short-lived. Cassius dropped the potion to the floor, and as it shattered, the liquid spread out, forming a swirling magic circle in the center of the training room.
The air grew thick, the ground trembled, and with a loud rumble, a massive creature rose from the formation, solidifying into a towering figure of stone and earth. Its back was jagged with rock formations, and its eyes glowed an eerie, earthy green as it let out a deep, resonant roar that shook the walls.

Damian cringed, taking a small step back. "This is not a reward."
Cassius's stony face remained unchanged, but there was a glint of amusement in his eyes. "It's a reward, at least for me," he replied. "Now, let's see if you're ready to handle it."
Damian huffed, glancing at the hulking golem before him. "Right, okay. Reward, huh?" He smirked, summoning his resolve. "Fine, reward. You're mine."
He turned to his two servants, already strategizing. "Bloodwing, keep your distance and use [Life Siphon] whenever you get an opening. We need to wear it down. Fenrith, go in close and use [Void Howl]—let's see if we can rattle this rock."
