Chapter 25: The Laboratory [4]
A powerful figure behind everything that's occurring in the world as we speak. With a simple swing of his arm, he could create a whole world in the blink of an eye. This figure was said to be invisible, powerful, and all-knowing it was none other than the author. Well, that only applies if it's just a story not in real life the only thing special about me is the fact that im breaking the fourth wall. Anything could happen in this world, who knows maybe all of this is just a story

[Hmmm, this is a tough one what will you choose to raise before you engaged the enemy?]
"I think I found the right choice I'll increase my Mp to 100. I'll use the remaining for Health and considering that im, not a tank I'll just place the rest to increase my agility," Whilst he was placing his stats a ton of deities entered his private broadcasting in exchange for sealing their recording function

"Wtf is with these ratings? it's pissing me off in more ways than one... Welcome everyone to my broadcasting today I'll fight a boss-level threat by myself," He greeted the deities whilst he address the content within his current broadcasting
[Ruler of the underworld is watching you, Conqueror of winds is watching you, Dreadful dragon of narsch is watching you, The bringer of thunder is watching you, etc]
'No way even Naze's deity entered my private broadcasting!!? He's not the type of deity to care about these kinds of stuff I wonder why he's here? It must have been a coincidence, there's no way he has some sort of I interest in me,'
[Are you done staring at the deities? Fight that monster already, you're testing my patience]
After he got scolded by his deity, Morris went to the area of the homunculus only to find that it was gone. There were no signs of it escaping the door leading to the exit, it was fully intact even in the dark corners he doesn't hear a single scream. He kept on looking until he found a mysterious hole beneath the room leading to the sewers. He guess that it was the emergency exit that the alchemist had used. When he ventured deeper into the hole, he sees the homunculus bashing its head through the seal that the forgotten sage had applied
[System: The player Christoper Morris has activated the skill Mana circulation. It'll grant the player physique that'll be enhanced as you circulate mana through your body. Though this skill has no cooldown, using this for a long time will take a toll on the player's body]

After it consumes the remaining gas it finally finishes its final form where it stands on its feet. This 20-meter tall monster moves to his location and stomped its feet towards that he dodges at the right time and swings his blade. He parried the spikes that came from its body dodging all of them while he uses the remaining few as a stepping stone. He got closer to its head which he stabbed and applied the feijin flower through its wound
[What now? You're out of options is there any way, to win?]
"There's still one thing that im betting on I just need to lure it to that, location," Morris activates mirage to trick the Quadrex while he prepared for its arrival
"Graaaaaaaahhhh!!!," The quadrex screams shook the underground laboratory with every passing second
Fed up with fighting Morris's illusion it used its extraordinary sense of smell to track him down. It quickly ran towards the traps that weren't even a problem to cross over and destroyed a wall just to enter the room where Morris was preparing his final attack. He holds up his mana flower which he used every mana he stored to spawn five copies of himself. With their help, he slashed away the homunculus's health
"Haste!!!" Morris yelled while his mirage did the same thing, they kept on copying his attack whilst they chip away at its health. The Quadrex uses all of its skill to ward off his attack which also brings about the end id his copies
Even after all of his efforts and skills combined, he wasn't able to vanquish the homunculus. His vision darks as the feet id the homunculus darkened his view and with a loud shockwave, he was flattened by the homunculus's attack. But this only brings about the final phase of his plan and his corpse was nothing but a mere copy of the original. It spawned a root that covered its leg rendering the homunculus unable to move for a short time
[System: Vineyard Amulet has activated its effect rooting the enemy that came in contact with the amulet will be rooted for 10 seconds]
The Quadrex sensed a powerful surge of mana near its area where it sees the original standing at the top of the pillar. He takes a peculiar stance while all of his mana was focused on his sword and it glowed so brilliantly. His stance wasn't just for show, it's real purpose made him channel the mana in his surroundings and place it in his sword
"Mystic slash, 1st form Vertical swing!!!" He said as he swung down his sword that weighed as much mana that he applied. Unleashing a powerful swing enough to finish the homunculus and leave a gigantic mark in the underground ruins.
[System: You've killed the hidden boss Quadrex the collected experience will now be given you've leveled up!!! Your level has changed from 14 - 22
Alert: Due to the great amount of experience gained the Gm's will convert the remaining exp to 300 tokens since they wished to balance the game]
"I've jumped through 8 levels, I need to head back before they do anything stupid," Morris uses haste to traverse the ruins
[The forgotten system: You've completed your mission, and the skill called [Mirage] will now be applied to your skill slot]
[Mirage - Spawns a perfect copy of the player with all of their stats and skill they can be piloted or ordered
Mp: 100
Duration: 10 minutes]
He rushes outside the warehouse where he sees Esther and Kyo we're confused when his copy disappeared from their hands. Since it's been a long time since he reunited with the two. Instead of giving them a proper reunion, he stands behind their backs while they mourn his death. He wanted to give them a spook so he came up with the perfect idea
"I'm alive," Morris hugs the two of them whilst his hands reach up to their head where he gently caresses their head. Those two words were the last thing he could've ever said after he got punched when he startled Esther. She believed that Morris was his ghost that came back to haunt her till the day she dies
