Chapter 174 – For the Unknown (5)

“Kwa furaha!”
“Mkamate!”
“Acha nikuguse kifua chako!”

The screams of fishermen coming from all directions.

Of course, I fell after crossing the siege, so the distance with them is too close.

Enough to touch if you stretch out your hand. Right now, I’m holding out with the magic tool’s shield, but that’s not long.

Shit.

Given that the shield is already starting to crack, there won’t be enough time to prepare for the next spell. Then there is only one way.

“Haap!”

After collecting the mana emitted from the heart once, it is released at once without any additional smelting.

Perong!

Magic explosion.

As the enormous amount of mana that possessed physical power hit the surroundings, a blue storm raged around my body.

Caught in this, the fishermen stumble and fall backwards.

As it was not a proper magic, my body also recoiled, but I felt that I was moving quickly thanks to the continuous recovery potion that was still in effect.

Now is your chance.

Jerry forcibly moved his limbs and aimed the staff at the side with the thinnest siege.

“Get up. Fireball!”

Short chant. However, its power is not to be taken lightly.

A head-sized fireball hits a fisherman’s chest and explodes.

Kwaaang!

Only one person was hit, but five or six people around them stumbled and collapsed in the aftermath. Among them, there is a guy who flew somewhere.

I kicked the ground towards the gap that was revealed. First of all, the priority is to get out of this situation where you are surrounded.

Just don’t want to just leave it alone?

“Where are you running away!”

Melonia, who was floating in the air, reached out her finger in this direction. Then, a pink beam of light flew from her fingertips.

A beautiful color that catches the eye. But you can’t be blank.

It’s some kind of magic cannon.

A main weapon used by succubuses with low combat power, mixed with the power of evil spirits and stored energy.

It’s a reckless attack that can’t even be called magic, but it’s fast and powerful because it’s mixed with spirit.

He immediately twisted his body with the momentum of rolling sideways.

Shu-!

A beam of light piercing the place where I was a moment ago. There was no sound, but chills ran down my spine when I saw the fairly deep pit in the ground.

Had he been hit, one of his arms would have been blown off. No, since there is a shield magic tool, I wonder if it will stop at the level of bending backwards.

In any case, it is said that if hit properly, one arm may be incapacitated.

I raised my alertness and started running again, but… In the meantime, the gap had already been filled.

The horny fishermen were quicker than expected.

While paying attention to Melonia’s attack flying from above, she prepared her magic again.

“Come up, frozen flower. Ice flower!”

A bluish flower made of ice that bloomed in the air ahead.

It has no direct attack power, but has the effect of blowing out powerful cold air around it.

It must be quite an uncomfortable magic for a fisherman who is always wet and moist. In fact, a guy who has already become frosty and dull has started to appear.

Once cast, it is a lasting magic that remains for a long time, so if you put ice flowers on it a few more times, you can prevent the fishermen from approaching.

At H&A, it’s a method I often use against aquatic monsters to buy time when I’m in a hurry…

“Eight!”

Whoops… Perseok.

The ice flowers were shattered by Melonia’s magic cannon as she watched them from the air.

Did he bother attack Ice Flower even though he could have targeted me directly?

“Under…”

When she glanced up, Melonia playfully waved her finger.

However, I can feel that his eyes are closely watching my every move.

This is it Throwing away trash mobs endlessly, intervening only when trying to escape and dropping them among the trash mobs.

If I’m tired like that, I’m probably trying to hunt safely.

It’s a method usually used by commander-type enemies, but… Melonia wrote this?

Is it because I resist all of Melonia’s charms?

“Tsk.”

In this case, do not hand over the initiative.

If you fight as you did, you will be captured alive after failing to do anything as Melonia intended.

I got goosebumps at the thought of getting stuck in the tentacles.

… You need a big one.

Between changing the strategy inside. The fisherman, who had become flaccid before he knew it, stabbed him with a trident.

Chaeeng!

Before being completely thrown out, he struck the side with a dagger. The guy whose trajectory was greatly twisted and his arm was naturally raised.

Originally, I would have put a simple magic on my defenseless upper body here.

This time, however, he tripped on one of her feet and knocked her off balance, pushing her with her shoulder and using it like a shield to charge.

“Acha hii!”

He shouted something and hit me on the back with a spear, but I ignored it.

At most, it is an attack that strikes with the power of the wrist. There’s no need to even activate a shield, it’s all blocked by the shock absorption of the robe.

Using that guy, I broke through a little bit, and continued to chant spells from his mouth.

“O raging storm, sing your anger.”

Ugh-

A green and red magic circle slowly drawn from the tip of the staff. It was a precursor to the Tempest Burn, which we have now become accustomed to.

As if it seemed unusual at first glance, the fishermen rushed even more ferociously.

Guys who don’t hesitate to push their weapons first, or even come together as a lump as if they’re going to crush them like this.

However, even if you do not use magic, it is a level that can be dealt with for a short time.

If it’s okay to get hit, believe in the performance of the shield and robe and hit it, and use the dagger to cut off the flying spears and entangle them.

It is only natural to twist your body excessively to avoid an attack from an angle that is difficult to counter.

It’s close to impossible to run around like a madman and complete the delicate magic… I have system calibration.

As long as I don’t interrupt the chant midway, I can use magic in any posture.

At this point, Melonia, who had been watching, could not stand still and began to use various magic and powers from afar.

“It’s difficult if you keep resisting…”

Magical cannons that fly in at a time when it is hard to get out of the body, a scent that is so sweet that it crooks your nose, pink fog that obscures your vision, and hallucinations and hallucinations that come from somewhere.

No matter how much thanks to the system correction, there are no mistakes, and the body moves as you think, but there are physical limitations.

“Kuh…”

I twisted my body around as if I was dancing in the monster, but in the end, Melonia’s magic cannon scratched her shoulder slightly.

Blood oozing out. I feel the strength drain from my left arm holding the dagger.

It would be possible to hold a dagger and swing it, but it would be impossible to move as quickly as before.

However, it doesn’t matter. After all, the magic is complete.

A group of fishermen surrounds it, and Melonia frowns over there.

With all of that in sight, he lifted up the staff.

“Tempest Burn!”

A clear starter. The mana that reacted to it vibrated like crazy and began to scatter its majesty around.

Roaring!

A huge fireball floated overhead. The moment their attention is focused on the fireball that is so hot that even my skin, the caster, is tingling.

The fireball released its own heat in all directions.

Kwaaaaa!!

It’s like a blazing tornado is shooting up around me.

All the fishermen who tried to hold on by believing in the hard scales turned to ashes, and those who tried to come to their senses and run away were caught in a strong updraft and burned in the air.

Not only did he memorize the spell properly, but he also had pseudo-resonance in the magic circle. And the power of Tempest Burn, which was beaten to the point of overcharging magical power, was a magic that was closer to intermediate level than low level.

If this is it, it will surely reach Melonia.

Yes. If it hits.

Just before the rising flames reach. Melonia fluttered her own wings and soared far away, dodging her Tempest Burn.

“Wow… Are you really a student? Aside from the fact that our plans were ruined one after another, I couldn’t understand why the unlucky Edmerek died… Now I get it Are you strong?”

“Well. In fact, you may be weaker than you look, right? You don’t know until you get hit once.”

“A. It would have been a bit painful if I had been hit since I saw how hot it was up to here. Is there really such a thing as a genius? I know that? Talented people also know that regularity is delicious. I wonder how you feel You seem to have made up your mind enough now, can you catch me soon?”

“Fuck you.”

“Who will put it first? You know I’m there too, right?”

“…”

Looking at Melonia’s giggling face, I burst into tears and unknowingly blew off the magic.

“Thunderbolt!”

Paperweight!

A lightning bolt that flew quickly hit Melonia’s shield. Of course, it was completely blocked.

Melonia frowned in her irritation as she looked beyond the sleek, goldless shield.

“Huh… I see you’re still up and running. Let’s talk about it again when we get a little weaker.”

Then, as I waved lightly into the air, the fishermen, who had been frightened by the full-power Tempest Burn and backed away, started running like madmen again.

It’s so fucked up to see her inflate her lower legs together.

Grinding his teeth, he worried as he fended off the attack of the fishermen who flocked again and the occasional falling attacks of Melonia.

Tempest Burn is the most powerful magic I can use, but… It won’t work on Melonia.

Power is good, but too slow. It’s not enough to catch up with that mobility that flies through the air.

At this rate, he would have no choice but to collapse from exhaustion according to the number of his targets.

What should I do?

What magic do I have that can shoot down Melonia?

First of all, it is not possible with halfway projection speed. After setting the prerequisites, naturally, only the lightning and wind attributes remained.

However, wind has a wide range and is fast, but its power is relatively weak.

Even if it touches Melonia, it’s out of the question since I can’t break her shield.

In the end, is only lightning left?

It’s an element I’m not very familiar with, but it’s fine as long as I can make some gaps.

As long as I can stick a dagger through the broken shield, I’ll do anything.
