Chapter 78
The Real Thing
Translator : PolterGlast
The Knight of the Holy
Remains, now in Revenant form, looked at me and then placed his hand on the
sword at his waist.
The armor the Knight
of the Holy Remains was wearing should have been tattered from my magic
attacks.
The armor's durability
wasn't that strong, it broke from the first three Judgment Rays.
But perhaps because he
changed forms, the armor had turned into something shiny and brand new.
Looking closely, the
design was completely different.
The armor he wore in skeleton
form was bluish full plate armor, and its design was very simple.
But the armor he's
wearing now is made of whitish metal, and there's no sound of metal rubbing
together when he moves.
And the amount of mana
I can sense is far stronger than the armor he wore in skeleton form.
(What is that...?)
When I strained my
eyes, I saw a faint white light rising from the armor.
That... I think it's
probably some kind of light magic.
The sword he smoothly
drew from its sheath was completely different from the one he had before.
The mana I felt from
that sword, which radiated divine, visible mana, was incomparable to the armor.
"So... it's as
expected."
I had anticipated the
Holy Magic Reversal ability I had experienced in the previous battle.
That power probably
reverses the Knight of the Holy Remains's original dark mana into light mana.
If that's the case,
the current Knight of the Holy Remains should be in a state where light magic,
which should have an undead-specific effect, is less effective.
I need to switch the
magic I use.
"Gungnir!"
The time it takes to
activate LV10 magic is now less than a second.
And if I try to
dual-cast it normally, it takes twice that time, and about three times that
time if I swing my sword at the same time.
So if I can stand at a
relatively long-range point like this, it takes almost no time to cast LV10
magic.
I immediately
activated Gungnir, the lightning magic, not the light magic Judgment Ray.
The lightning spear
flew and attacked the knight head-on.
Instead of dodging,
the knight held his sword at eye level and stared at the lightning spear flying
at high speed from the front.
"Azure Dragon
Sword"
The knight swung down
his sword, which was held at eye level...
And the sword and
Gungnir collided--and he cut it in two.
Ha, I couldn't help
but let out a dry laugh.
He dodged high LV
magic in the degraded version, but as expected, the real one lightly cut even
LV10 magic.
But I already expected
him to be able to cut through magic!
I had already used
Shadow Dive on Gungnir's shadow and hid in the shadow.
And I jumped out in
the middle and went around to the knight's back through the shadow from the
right side.
Thanks to raising my
agility to the maximum, I can now move at almost the same speed as Gungnir.
And at the moment the
Knight of the Holy Remains cut down Gungnir, I swung my sword while jumping out
of the shadow.
"Sword of
Extermination!"
"Black Tortoise
Shell"
Since I aimed for the
moment the knight swung his sword at Gungnir, the attack would definitely hit
the Knight of the Holy Remains.
My prediction was half
right and half wrong.
At the same time as
the Knight of the Holy Remains used some kind of skill, the knight's armor
turned green.
And my blow pierced
the armor... and stopped when it slightly wounded his body.
I managed to make a
cut that bled, but no matter how much I pushed, the sword wouldn't go any
further.
"--! Jaunt!"
As I felt a chill, I
used Jaunt to make a short teleport.
Then I saw a sword
come flying towards where I had been moments ago, cutting through the air.
I naturally expected
he would have defensive skills and magic... but he's much tougher than I
thought.
No openings in offense
or defense, you've got to be kidding me...
