  As I watched the exciting showdown, feeling like I was in the middle of an awesome movie fight, I couldn't help but want it to keep going. But then, I told myself it was time to wrap up the intense battle.

  However, I reminded myself that it was about time to bring an end to this clash.

  Guardian, Level 38, used ability: Necrotic Wave

  _____________________________

  Spreading his arms welcomingly, I had my Necrotic Overlord unleash its ability: Necrotic Wave. A surge of necrotic energy rushed forth from my Necrotic Overlord, engulfing the knight who couldn't attempt to dodge after being the victim of my Plague Minions' suicide attack. The culmination of this clash was eagerly awaited as the Necrotic Wave surged forward, a tide of decay and despair, consuming all in its path.

  Is it finally the end? It could be. Fully aware of the presence of that one class I had yet to defeat, the mage class, the only viable answer to that question was "could be."

  Just as the lone invader's health edged toward the last couple of percent, it happened again. He changed classes:

  At this point, I admit, I was more expecting it to happen than not.

  Changing class in the midst of my guardian's attack allowed him to not, as a knight, meet his end. However, here was the thing: the class shift happened in the middle of a guardian's attack, causing him to bathe in all the damage that should've been that of a knight.

  The miserable lone invader, now as a fighter, was sent flying across the room. He tried raising his writhing form up, but clearly, the man had reached some form of limits. I had the feeling it was because of that one status he, in all his forms, kept racking up: fatigue.

  I was watching the lone invader through the interface, not exactly with pity, but still, I winced for him when the Necrotic Overlord, unfamiliar with the saying about never striking a man on his knee, unleashed an attack at the man.

  Okay. Now, I officially finally felt pity.

  Just as it happened almost immediately as I defeated the Barbarian then with the Paladin, I saw a glimpse of it: upon defeat the lone invader class would automatically shift back to the class wielding the authority, in other word, the knight one, before changing to yet another class like he was doing right now.

  He changed classes again, this time opting for the mage class, the same one he used to restore his Paladin's HP back to 60%. However, unlike his previous shifts, this time he switched to a clearly inferior class, both in terms of level, available M.P and of course fatigue percentage.

  Yes, inferior; there was no other way to put it.

  HighBreed, Mage, Level 8, used Skill: Lightning Magic

  _____________________________

  “You’re definitely not defeating my Dungeon Guardian with this one, buddy,” as I thought that, I began to entertain the thought; could it be that I finally had him on his last straw?

  This from my perspective looks like a complete checkmate. One he was desperately trying to ignore but nevertheless, I remained vigilant. One can never be too sure with an authority wielder, especially someone who possesses two. He might be hiding yet another powerful class, although my confidence in that was growing thin, especially when my guardian retaliated to the mage's lightning attack that was completely negated by its elemental immunity with an elemental magic counter, bringing the mage's HP straight to zero in one blow.

  In that moment, in that fleeting moment when the lone invader automatically shifted back to the Authority-wielding class, I impulsively commanded my Necrotic Overlord to unleash one of its abilities at him, almost on a whim.
