Chapter 65
Mjolnir
Translator : PolterGlast
I've gotten quite used
to the tenth floor.
At most, I don't walk
around as nervously as I used to.
I stride through the
floor with a minimum of caution, not wanting to be noticed by the Elder Liches,
but without feeling too burdened.
I've already finished
mapping the place, and I even have a map in my head.
I decided to head
towards the stairs down to see the eleventh floor as well.
Then, I saw an Elder
Lich walking in front of me with a ghost-like gait.
The jewel is blue,
water attribute.
I prepared to activate
magic, thinking there was no problem, and then used Wind Search.
There's another Elder
Lich nearby. And one reaction from the Wind Bastard approaching me.
Three in total... just
right.
Let's take this as my
graduation exam for this floor.
I deliberately made a
sound and attracted the Elder Liches.
The Fire Elder Lich
coming towards me and the Wind Elder Lich flying towards me, literally cutting
through the wind, happened almost at the same time.
There are three
unscathed Elder Liches in front of me now.
I should be able to
defeat them head-on, not by surprise, with my current abilities.
"Judgment Ray,
Mjolnir."
I generated a pillar
of light and placed a lightning hammer next to me.
And the battle
began--.
I aimed Judgment Ray
at the Wind Bastard.
The Wind Bastard tried
to avoid the attack with his flying ability, but the attack range of this
magic, enhanced by my greatly increased magic attack power, had already
expanded to the point where it could be called something else.
The Wind Bastard
couldn't avoid the attack completely, and although he managed to get slightly
out of range, he took a direct hit from Judgment Ray.
The power and accuracy
of magic clearly vary depending on the damage taken.
The most troublesome
of these three is undoubtedly the Wind Elder Lich, who can unleash invisible,
deadly blows with high mobility.
I still can't avoid
that neck-cutting blow that he charges up and unleashes.
The Wind Bastard's
body appeared tattered, and he was barely standing, propping his staff on the
ground.
Now all I have to do
is take on three Elder Liches with normal movements.
I immediately
channeled magic and swung Mjolnir.
"Koooh..."
"Gugaga!!"
Two Elder Liches are
holding up their staffs towards me.
The jewels have already
begun to cloud, and if this continues, the magic will be completed.
I swung Mjolnir twice
and hit their staffs directly.
Then the Elder Liches'
magic dissipated at that point, and the magic presence I had felt until just
now disappeared.
The Wind Bastard,
tattered, still points his staff towards me.
Even though my LV has
increased considerably, I still haven't acquired enough firepower to take him
down in one hit.
So I'll hit the Wind
Bastard with the remaining swing of Mjolnir.
He couldn't avoid it
and took a direct hit, blown backward.
Okay, that leaves two.
And at the same time,
two magic slots opened up.
The first magic I
activate is Gungnir. I activate Accelerate and Quick in parallel with
preparation, increasing my movement speed.
I approach the Elder
Liches while preparing to activate Aegis.
--I've learned from
many battles that there's almost no risk in closing the distance when fighting
Elder Liches.
Although the power
increases slightly, Elder Liches don't use magic swords, which are powerful at
close range and risk a vital blow.
In other words, even
if I take a magic attack at close range, I won't die from anything other than
the Wind Elder Lich's blow.
Now that I'm used to
the pain, I can move forward if I endure it.
Of course, the Elder
Liches will use magic faster than I finish preparing to activate the second LV
10 magic.
The Elder Liches, who
were separated to the left and right, activate their magic.
"Gugaaah!!"
The Elder Liches'
magic is unleashed.
It's a flame in the
shape of a giant snake and water in the shape of a dragon.
In terms of LV, it's
probably equivalent to 9.
Both the speed and
power are high, and the proficiency is at a level that I can't use right now.
The unleashed magic is
coming, and of course, it doesn't slow down.
I, wrapped in
Accelerate's purple lightning and Quick's soft light, urge my body forward.
Watching the
approaching magic, I wait for the right moment.
...Now!!
"Aegis!"
