"My name is Jarvis," the traveler said.
Ragna and Cinister's eyes widened as they heard the familiar name.
"Jarvis, what are you doing here?" Cinister asked with a confused look on his face.
"Oh, me? I'm farming for materials for a crafting recipe," Jarvis answered with a confident smirk on his face.
"A crafting recipe?" Ragna asked. "What kind of recipe does a Guardian need?"
"It's just a little buff potion," Jarvis responded.
"Can we get some pots?" Cinister said.
"Even better," Jarvis voiced with excitement. "I can turn your Blessing Stone of Luck into a blessing."
"For real? No joke?" Cinister asked with hope in his eyes.
"Yeah, give it to me," Jarvis commanded.
Cinister gave the Blessing Stone of Luck, and Jarvis crushed it in his hand. Then magical green spheres surrounded Cinister.
[Blessing Stone: Luck] – gives the user immense luck
"Yo, Jarvis, let's play some rock, paper, scissors and see if my luck has increased," Cinister said excitedly.
"Sure, I don't have any objections," Jarvis responded as they played 10 rounds, all of which were won by Cinister.
"My luck has really increased," Cinister said.
"This will come in handy in a lot of situations," Alya chimed in.
"Anyway, do you guys want to come with me so I can guide you through the next couple of floors?" Jarvis pitched.
"Sure, but we need to defeat the boss first because we aren't a party with you," Alya explained.
"Okay, I will be waiting for you guys," Jarvis replied as he ascended the stairs to the next floor.
As Jarvis disappeared, the Fangra waited for the boss, but they started playing some Uno.
"+2," Cinister put down.
"Another +2," Alya played.
"+4," Ragna responded as he looked at Cinister with a smirk. "Time to draw 8 cards and also UNO."
Cinister picked up 8 cards with defeat written all over his eyes
"It's over because I know Alya doesn't have any more +2s," Ragna explained.
"You may be right," Cinister said, "but I have this."
Then Cinister played a card that lets the user switch cards with someone else.
"Give me those cards," Cinister commanded.
"Fine, you win," Ragna said. "Stupid game anyway."
Then something shook the ground and as the crew looked behind them
[Boss: Ring Master]
A frail looking man with a suit with a tie. He seems to be holding a couple of hoola-hoops.
"This looks like it's going to be easy" Ragna thought to himself but the Ring Master hit him with a mach 1500 punch sending his ass flying
"What the! I couldn't even see him" Cinister muttered as he went to Ragna asking him if he was okay
"Yeah but watch out" Ragna said as he pointed as the Ring Master preparing for an attack
"Shit I can't react" Cinister realized his hand was broken by the Ring Master's punch
"Alya get him" Ragna yelled out as Alya became visible and sliced his ankles but the only thing that was damaged was the daggers
"Oh no" Alya voiced as the Ring Master kicked he to Cinister
Then the Ring Master prepared another punch but this time it was a bit slower.
Slow enough for Ragna to use [Bubble] and parry him.
"Now die!" Ragna said as he used the counter to slice the arm but it only left a small scratch.
"I guess I'm dying" Ragna realized as the Ring Master stepped back and held up one of his Rings
"What is he doing?" Alya asked
"I don't know but stay on guard" Cinister chimmed in but it was to late.
The Ring turned into a portal and a plethora of circus animals came out of it.
There were elaphants, giraffes, frogs but the scariest of all a lone lion who came out last.
The King of the Jungle commanded the other animals to attack the Fangra and so they did.
"I think there's something I need to address" Cinister said as he grabbed the tusks of one of the elephants
"This is where you're weak spot is, right?" He asked as he rips them out leaving the animal dead.
Unfortunately the red in Cinister's flames got him in trouble with 50 bulls.
Ragna, on the other hand, was slicing Giraffes left and right "Dammit it they keep coming and coming" he complained
And lastly Alya was stuck in the frog's mouth, just waiting "This is more comfortable than I thought" she said
As the Fangra was struggling to defeat their respective animals. The lion was waiting to strike his prey
"Jeez I'm tired of this" Cinister chimmed in "I guess It's time to pull out this move"
"Mixed Nexus"
"[Molten Prison]"
Then every animal started burning and slowly but surely they all started dying except for two monsters.
The Ring Master threw the Lion at Cinister hoping it can stop the Nexus
"[Fire Gun] 300%" Cinister preapred to shoot at the Lion
...
The Nexus broke and the right half of Cinister and half of the whole circus was gone in an instant
"Huh?" Cinister asked himself as he fell to the ground "Did that lion just kill me?"
"CINISTER!" Ragna said as he used [Aqua Blades] to impale the lion but it had no effect
Then the lion walks toward Ragna and the creature sliced the floor into 2 pieces making Ranga lose his balance. With this golden opportunity the Lion lunged at Ragna
Normally Ragna would be dead but because he had parried over diffrent 500 incoming objects.
He had a gut feeling so for the first time he used [Bubble] reflexively, parrying the attack and slicing one of the feet of the Lion.
"[Fire Gun] 200%" was casted seeting the Lion on fire. It was Cinister who was able to cast [Ashen Veil] right before he could of kicked the bucket
In this moment the Lion was confused which let Alya cast [Second Wind] sending it into the Ring Master.
