Chapter 109: I’m in a bit of a Pinch
“That was close…!”
Using the magic of “Ultra Acceleration,” Rest instinctively avoided Sabnok’s attack with its tongue.
If he had been even a little slower to dodge, he might have been crushed by that massive tongue.
“That’s not an attack I can withstand with a magic barrier. If it were the Dark Star, I could absorb it, but it’s of a size and force that would kill me before I could fully absorb it…!”
“[Healing]”
Healing the ruptured eardrums caused by the roar.
Sound returned from the surroundings, and the world of silence disappeared.
“Alright… but it’s seriously troublesome…”
Just from being roared at, his eardrums ruptured, and he thought he might pass out.
Indeed, it was befitting of the master of the cursed land. He hadn’t thought he could defeat it easily… It was strong, after all.
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
Several Corrosive Beasts spewed their saliva at Rest.
Rest defended against the spewing corrosive saliva with a wall of soil. The saliva dissolved the wall, but he immediately countered with magic.
“[Lightning Cannon: Lightning bolt]”
“GYAO!”
An advanced-level lightning magic exploded.
The intense lightning struck down the Corrosive Beasts, but they quickly got up and growled.
Ad
“Ordinary advanced magic won’t cause fatal damage, huh…”
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
“Tch…!”
The Corrosive Beasts spewed their saliva at Rest once again.
Using [Ultra Acceleration] to evade, he flew into their midst and unleashed [Star Devourer] from point-blank range.
The Corrosive Beasts were sucked into the Dark Star, disappearing without a trace of their fur.
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
However, attacks from all directions continued.
The Corrosive Beasts dispersed without clustering in one place, attacking while keeping their distance.
Ad
“You’re cautious of close combat. Are you planning to corner me without an escape route!”
Gritting his teeth, Rest grimaced.
He intercepted the saliva spray with the Dark Star, but attacks from another direction grazed his arm.
“Ouch!”
Corrosive saliva entered his body.
Rest immediately used Wind Blade to sever his arm. He then accelerated his body, moved away, and activated healing magic to treat his arm.
“This is troublesome…”
Cutting off his arm was a desperate measure.
If he hadn’t done that, the corrosive saliva that entered his body would have reached his heart or brain through his bloodstream, likely resulting in his death.
As he focused on avoiding the enemy’s attacks and healing, the severed arm slowly regenerated.
“I was worried about what to do if it didn’t heal… I was seriously panicking.”
Regenerating lost body parts is considered the pinnacle of healing magic, but Rest is capable of doing so.
That’s because both healing injuries and regenerating lost parts can be achieved with [Healing].
He learned this in the academy, and it’s known that the main problem in healing lost parts is the amount of magic power required. By increasing the magic power devoted to [Healing], the conditions can be met.
(If I didn’t have infinite magic power, it would have been impossible… If I couldn’t become a court mage, should I have lived as a priest or a healer?)
As he joked to himself, the severed arm completely regenerated. He waved it lightly to confirm, but there were no abnormalities.
Although the damage was gone, the situation remained dire.
Rest couldn’t focus on Sabnok because of the minions. There were at least twenty Corrosive Beasts present.
“GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
“.………..!”
To make matters worse… Sabnok roared as if to seize the moment.
Rest created an air wall called [Windshield] to block the sonic cannon from Sabnok, learning from the experience earlier.
This time, his eardrums endured without rupturing.
“[Smoke Screen] [Amplification] [Wind Control]”
Using a trio of spells, he scattered a large amount of white smoke and controlled it with wind magic to prevent it from dispersing. Although his vision was completely obscured, he activated another spell. Using [Presence Detection], he grasped the enemies’ positions.
“[Acceleration]”
“And…!”
He closed the distance and unleashed [Star Devourer], reducing the number of enemies.
Without letting the enemy realize his position, he literally tried to smoke out the enemies, but…
“GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Ad
“I thought so…!”
As expected, or rather, as predicted.
Sabnok blew away the smoke screen with its roar.
Rest manipulated the smoke screen with [Wind Control], but the sonic cannon mercilessly scattered the white smoke.
“They keep finding ways to counter my moves…!”
Rest used one magic after another, but they were all thwarted.
The giant body and corrosive saliva were dangerous enough, but dealing with their cunning was also incredibly troublesome.
In fact, it might be more of a hassle than dealing with their physical threats.
(Humans should win against monsters through wisdom and unity… But isn’t it cheating for monsters to outsmart us with intellect and teamwork?)
Fighting alone.
It might have been easier if he had at least reliable companions to team up with, but there was no one around Rest to provide support.
Taking someone like Danila along would just be a hindrance, so he didn’t bring him from the start.
“GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
Ad
“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
“Ugh… This is seriously troublesome…”
As Rest realized that the situation was gradually worsening, he racked his brain for a way out.
He tried to come up with a plan to break through this situation, but of course, the enemy wouldn’t wait for him.
Relentless attacks were being directed at Rest.
“Almacaine Sword Dance… Fragment!”
“………….”
However, at that moment, an unexpected event occurred.
A shadow swooped down like a streak of light and cut one of the Corrosive Beasts in half.
The shadow held a white blade. It was a long, curved sword… resembling a Japanese katana.
“This is a collection of things that are worth cutting through, aren’t they?”
Though well-put-together, his face was gloomy.
His eyes were covered by his hair, and his expression gave no hint of his thoughts.
“Lubase…?”
The top first-year student in the Knight Division. The sword saint who dislikes women.
Wilhelm Lubase was standing there.
