Chapter 77
Holy Magic
Reversal
Translator : PolterGlast
The deepest part, the
twelfth floor, is probably a tomb for enshrining the Knight of the Holy
Remains.
It's quite extravagant
to turn the entire floor into a tomb.
The tomb, which is so
vast that you can't see the end no matter which way you turn, has been
completely destroyed by my magic.
But for some reason,
only the coffin and the bouquets of flowers around it remain completely
unscathed, no matter how powerful the attack.
Surrounded by colorful
flowers, swords clash, and sparks fly.
It's not particularly
a good exchange of sword strikes...
I continue to swing my
sword, following the movements I ingrained in my body during practice swings,
just like the Knight Revenant and the Knight of the Holy Remains did.
"--Shh!"
"Kaka!"
After blocking the
Knight of the Holy Remains's blow, I smoothly move my sword.
When I thrust, the
Knight of the Holy Remains dodges by moving his upper body.
The sword doesn't hit
the targeted core, but instead thrusts into the gap between the ribs.
The knight in skeleton
form deflects the blow.
And he tries to use
his own ribs to wrap around my sword.
What's with that
advanced technique!?
That's definitely a
move that's only possible for a skeleton!
I put strength into
the grip and forcefully pull out the sword.
My stance is slightly
off, and the knight takes advantage of that and steps forward.
I have no intention of
letting him close the distance.
I'll make up for my
disadvantage in swordsmanship and physical skills with magic!
"Mjolnir!"
A hammer of lightning
attacks the knight, who is trying to deliver a blow from my right side.
A blow from a blunt
weapon can send a shock into the body.
For a skeleton with a
clear weakness like the core, it could be fatal if it lands in the wrong place.
As expected, the
knight switches to defense.
I grin and put
strength into my toes, stepping forward again.
I deliver a blow to
his side, which is wide open due to the hammer's defense.
Another rib bone
cracks.
The knight is
responding to my attack, which should be hidden from his vision by the hammer,
and his sword tip is already pointed at me.
But I ignored it and
activated the magic I had been charging while taking a step back.
"Judgment
Ray"
The Knight of the Holy
Remains takes the blow while crossing his arms.
In the meantime, I
slam Mjolnir into his side, and the knight is blown away.
I prepare to activate
magic again.
"Double Judgment
Ray!"
My main attack is
magic.
I use my sword as a
secondary attack to prevent the opponent from taking any stance other than
defense, and to break his core if there's an opening.
This is the best way
for me to steadily inflict damage without receiving the opponent's attacks.
For now, my raw
strength and speed are higher.
I step forward again
to maintain a position just within sword range.
It's pathetic to rely
on specs to win, but... I have no choice.
When the pillar of
light disappears, the Knight of the Holy Remains is even more damaged than
before.
As my vision clears, I
see the Knight of the Holy Remains pointing his sword at me.
Mana Perception senses
the mana floating in the air.
Something's... coming!
"Dark
Phantasm"
"Jaunt!"
I use the space-time
magic Jaunt to make an emergency escape.
I teleport to a range
that the technique shouldn't reach in an instant, and I can see the Knight of
the Holy Remains's blow.
What spreads out there
is... pitch-black darkness.
The darkness
completely envelops the Knight of the Holy Remains and the spot where I was a
moment ago.
What is this... an
enhanced version of Darkness Fog?
But that darkness
itself is a mass of mana with incredible density.
Probably, that itself
has some kind of magical effect... oh crap!
I can't let the knight
move freely in this dark fog--
"Judgment
Ray!"
"Holy Magic
Reversal"
I grit my teeth at the
voice that overlaps with the activation of the Judgment Ray that I activated
instantly.
When the darkness is
dispelled, there is--the figure of a Revenant with blond hair and blue eyes.
"Last Heal"
I'm forced to watch
the wounds heal before my very eyes.
Damn it... it's a
given that a boss who spams recovery magic is from a shitty game.
