Classless Ascension

The entire realm began shaking. Was this an omen of the destruction to come?! 

[Collected all souls!] 

[Wraith King Now Spawning!] 

[Try not to end up dissolved completely!] 

The air all around began to be sucked as if a vacuum. It was all heading toward a spot above them. The five earlier colors mixed, creating a brilliant explosion.

That's when a human-size rainbow wraith appeared in the air.

< Illustrious Wraith King Level 42 ☠> 

"It doesn't look that strong…." The orc commented. They had just fought an enormous Blattagriff. Compared to it, this new enemy looked tiny and weak. 

"Oh god. A human-sized Boss." Josh was the opposite. He knew the terror that this could represent, especially a flying one. 

The being glanced at them, waving its ghostly hands. Dark red blood gushed out of his palms, dropping straight toward them! Oh god, a goddamn blood rain! 

"Run!!" Josh darted away. 

The two barely managed to reach out of the thing's radius. They turned pale as they saw the aftermath of it. The ground was bubbling as if doused in acid. As for the enemy, it was already flying toward them to finish the job. 

"That's one heavy rain, but so what! I'm a proud orc warrior, haha!" The orc shot an arrow at the creature. It flew true and hit the thing!— only to pass through it. 

"Without mana, it won't do anything," Josh remarked. 

— Twang! Twang! — 

He shot consecutively at the creature that just swayed on the side to avoid it. It was so damn annoying, but they had no way to reach it. 

"Maybe I should have picked the damn wings." 

"Nothing we can do about it, Master. Let's just kill that bastard!"

"Is this guy even alive?"

"Anything that moves is considered alive in orc culture." He shrugged. 

"So orc women would marry a vibrator but not a regular dildo, good to know." 

"Pfft—" The orc chuckled, almost losing his footing and perishing to the blood rain. Luckily Josh grabbed him in time. 

As the creature was busy raining death on them, Josh controlled his Blattagriffs to approach the damn thing sneakily. Then they finally reached it and— collided with a colorful barrier that suddenly surrounded the wraith. 

Damn. It seemed like it had defenses up against sneak attacks! Wait, why was this wraith even dodging their arrows then? Did it have limited durability? It seemed like the Blattagriffs weren't strong enough to pierce it. 

Josh kept the onslaught going, turning his Morphing weapon into a large umbrella to protect them. 

But his troops weren't as lucky. The monster turned toward them, doused them in acidic blood, and it was the end of them. They didn't even have the time to shriek. 

"Tch— this is gonna be a pain." 

"Master, we need to get rid of that barrier and that blood rain." 

<script>ChapterMid();</script><br/>"Yep, but we'll need more firepower to make that happen."

That's when the orc solemnly nodded and attacked once more. But this time, his arrow contained mana! It flew entirely away from its target, but it was a start. 

"Observe how I do it. There's no way a proud orc warrior can't even shoot one tiny arrow, right?!" Josh taunted.

"Grrr, of course!" He grumbled. 

They said that desperate situations brought the best of one's potential. Well, now was the perfect time for the orc to shine! The orc would have to learn the technique right fucking now. 

The more arrows Josh shot, the more he seemed to understand the technique. All until he finally gave a victorious grin. He shot a mana glowing arrow with radiant energy. It was crooked, slow, and not that powerful, but it prompted the enemy to dodge! 

"Did you see that, master!" The hulking orc was so damn proud and happy. 

"Yes, yes, I've seen it. Now, keep attacking. I want this thing to have no time to attack. It should be dodging 24/7!" 

But even then, the blood rain continued. His morphing weapon also showed signs of weakening, and the creature was getting better at aiming. They had to end the fight ASAP!

Josh used their cover to summon some more Blattagriffs, enhancing them with his mana. But how were they supposed to reach their target amidst the blood rain surrounding them? They had to create an opening for them. 

Actually, all they needed was a great shield. 

The orc shivered as Josh summoned its rat and slammed Blattagriffs in its mouth. This reminded him of the earlier scene. It had felt so bad! He'd forever remember how they had wriggled deep inside him. 

"You talked about throwing earlier, right? It's gonna be your time to shine." Josh shared. 

The orc understood his meaning. Archery wasn't his strong point, but he was used to throwing a giant hammer at people. Launching a rat wouldn't be that hard in comparison. He just had to watch for his aim. 

He took a step back, powerfully winded up his arm, and the rat was sent flying straight at the boss. Even then, it remained lifelessly stoic. Goddamn legend! 

The wraith king shrieked as it saw the flying projectile but dodged it relatively easily. But that's when phase two of the operation began! While Josh and orc kept shooting at the creature like maniacs to pop his shield, the Blattagriffs went for the backstab. 

"Master, we won't destroy the barrier in time! They'll be stopped again!" 

"Use your hands, not your mouth. We just gotta keep going!" 

The orc did its best, but they didn't make it in time even then. The insects collided with the energy shield, and it was game over for the poor critters. They exploded in a gory mess, the creature still unhurt.

That's when their cover finally began to crack. Josh had to put away his morphing weapon for it not to break. 

Without any means to protect themselves from the rain, they now had to flee without the time to counterattack. 

"' Master, this is really bad." The orc remarked but then noticed Josh's bright smile. 

"You worry too much. Everything is going according to plan." 

That's when Josh shot a few arrows hurriedly while running. He did it so quickly that his aim was a little bit off. The arrows flew past their target completely. But as he waved his hand, they turned around?! 

"How?!" The orc exclaimed, confused. 

"Oh, let's just say I added a surprise to that last batch of Blattagriffs. There wasn't just my mana, but also some of my killing intent." 

Yes, the insects had died like bitches on the thing's shield, but they had also spread the killing intent mark. This allowed him to lock on the thing's shield directly. 

"Now, it's time for the onslaught to begin!" He chuckled as he kept shooting arrow after arrow. Even when he was missing or the creature was dodging, it still reached the boss. All until its shield was completely destroyed. 

​ But would it be so easy to dispatch? Sadly not. 

It seemed that becoming vulnerable had enraged it. It shrieked in anger as the blood puddles on the ground began to ripple. From it formed humanoid-looking blood golems. The monsters instantly went toward them with surprising speed. 

"Don't worry, master, I got this!" The orc shot an arrow at them. 

But just as the arrow was about to reach them, it suddenly disappeared. It didn't get blocked or anything. It just vanished. Even a mana arrow had been 100% ineffective. 

"What is this?!" The orc screamed in shock. 

"I don't know, but good luck!" Josh shouted as he kept shooting, forcing the creature to avoid. There was a limit to his homing ability and it couldn't accomplish miracles, but he slowly drove the creature in a corner. 

The orc king ran near the blood monsters warily. What was it that had affected his arrow? He tried swinging his hammer at one. This time his attack connected! But there was one issue. 

"This thing is so sturdy! It feels even more resilient than metal! Master, it seems resistant to melee attacks and immune to ranged attacks!" He shouted, sharing his discovery. 

Talk about one simple but crazy boss! It required ranged attacks to kill, was extremely slippery, summoned ranged-immune minions, and could rain infinite acidic blood. This would exhaust most parties to death! 

"Can you take care of them?"

"Of fucking course!" The orc confidently shouted. 

But the more the fight went, the less confident he felt. At some point, the wraith king flew right above it and rained blood on him. Naturally, he ran away to dodge, but the blood creatures stayed. They stayed and healed. 

"Oh god. They can regenerate too?!" The orc king complained as he watched his dwindling pill reserve. At this rate, they would be the first ones to fall. 

"It's fine. I'm almost done on my side," Josh remarked. 

But it seemed like he had spoken too soon. As the wraith king felt threatened, it screeched once again. That's when a fog showed up at the horizon, except they both knew what it was.

This was a wraith army!
