Staring at the approaching Kiko who was being chased by the Mustang Spider, Yman steadied his breathing. Watching that person's gaze to him, and the way he lured the monster towards him, he was 99% sure that this idiot was up to something not good.
Kiko was grinning inside seeing that Yman was standing alone in a safe distance at their back. He was not in resonance with his deity. What a perfect scenario to kill this frog. If the Mustang Spider able to collide at him. For sure he was dead meat!
And him? No one would suspect him. After all, it was easy to find a reason. Just several seconds it took that he neared that guy.
The others were having different outlook at the current situation. Chloe, Bob, and Mai were having stupefied faces. .
Almina on the other hand was tailing the monster and Kiko with all her might. She was able to cut one of the monster's hind legs. But it didn't stop and continued chasing after Kiko, while Almina lost her pace. Because of this, the monster lost her tails.
The blonde girl and the smiling guy had puzzled faces. On the other hand, many in the audience were having dumbfounded faces. They don't like that person, but it was still too cruel to die here. Although, it was his fault for coming on the battlefield without his deity's resonance.
However, none of them thought that Kiko did it on purpose. In their's perspective, Kiko just wanted to get rid of the monster from focusing its attack on him.
The principal was speechless. While beads of sweats were forming on his face.
Some shook their heads. While Instructor Goki wanted to rush. But he was held by his co-instructors. They said it was too late. In any case, that person was unimportant. What important was to hasten those young trainees who had visible talent. And let go of the untalented one. If he died here, then there was only his bad luck to blame.
And it was his fault for being arrogant, he went into the battle without his deity's resonance.
Hearing this — he felt he was being showered by cold water all over his body.
Instructor Goki had mad expressions while staring coldly at his co-instructors. He was wondering what these people were saying. They just stood here while watching a death that about to happen? It was okay because that guy was unimportant? Because he was untalented? In the first place, he doesn't want to agree with this fight. If not because of the principal, he would not let this fight happen.
"Wtf world! Fuck off!" He shrugged off the hand that was holding him and ran towards where the trainees were fighting. But he was too late.
'This is it! You die, Frog!' Kiko screamed inside his mind after he passed by on Yman.
Yman shook his head. People who were full of hate tend to lose their reasonings: "Im-be-cile." A word was shot to that person as he passed by. The way he muttered that word was not loud and was not low. Just as normal as conversing with someone. And Kiko heard it clear.
After hearing Yman's words he felt he gulped something bitter in his throat. But it happened only in an instant before a smirk appeared on his mouth. No matter what this person was saying. In the end, he would die today. Hehe! And they could not blame him, since he was not the one who did it. He was not even touching him. Everyone would think that it was just an unlucky accident.
'Hehe, blame yourself for being arrogant coming here without your deity!' Kiko shouted on Yman's arrogance. After shouting this in his mind, he glanced behind him to witness how that guy's body being torn by the monster.
But to his dismay, the expected scene did not happen.
The Mustang Spider leaped overhead on Yman. It was like — the monster was avoiding touching him.
Kiko was dumbfounded. Even the other trainees, the instructors, the soldiers from the empire, and even the principal — all of them that were watching from the distance were dumbfounded.
The monster directly landed on Kiko who paused from running. Kiko staggered and fell butt first on the ground.
He was using his sword to block the monster's rapid attack using its spear-like legs.
Yman noticed that the monster could not use its web attack. He sighed. He wanted to see Kiko in such a state.
"Hehe, listen to me everyone! Our benevolence teammate offered himself as a good bait! Let's not waste his courage. Or his sacrifice was it? Regardless, let's proceed to plan C!"
Ehhhh?!!
'Wait, did we have a plan C?' Bob thought.
Yman noticed that his teammates were having second thoughts.
"Chloe!" He shouted at her.
"Y-Yes!" Chloe with the body that was glowing in bright green colors of mana replied to Yman.
<Goodluck, Chloe.> Looks like her deity knows she was troubled and cheered her.
Most of them were enveloped by bright green mana. Since all of them were having a breakthrough below 10%(level 10). Only Yman that wasn't glowing.
Chloe stored back her magical pistol. And aimed her right hand below the monster to where was Kiko laying trying to defend himself from the monster's attack. W-Well, she believes her magic could not kill him. But it might hurt him a bit. Her left hand was supporting her right hand.
A moment later, her right hand was enveloped by energies with purple color. And a sphere of purple-colored appeared below the monster.
Then it exploded.
The ground cave in and the monster's body hovered in the air and was flipped when landed.
Below the monster, Kiko with white eyes was being pinned by the monster's huge body.
Seeing this situation, Yman grinned.
"Miss Almina!"
ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelB(i)n.NET
"Yes!" She dashed and slashed all the monster's legs. Almina followed him without any questions. Her cheeks even went rosy when he called her name.
After losing all its legs, the monster had no way to retaliate or overturn its massive body. And Yman was checking on its health points not to drop at 30% to avoid activating the ability of Magic Cryst.
"Now archer!" Yman shouted.
But no archer fired. He looked behind him. Just to see a cold gaze from that blonde.
"Hey, you! What are you doing?" He asked with a sneer. He was already tired and wanted to finish this fight.
"Shut up! Did you forget what I said a while ago? I don't want a weakling to order me!" And she replied.
Almina knitted her brows: "Hmph, this girl is too callous," she muttered.
Yman sighed: |This girl is a pain in the ass.| He thought.
"I'm not too sure about that blonde." Suddenly, the smiling guy said and dashed towards the monster while summoning a javelin with 3 meters long.
Seconds later the javelin was enveloped by green mana and he threw it directly on the monster's butt.
The monster's head was not easy to pierce from the back of its forehead or below. Because it had a hard shell protecting it. It was protecting pretty well the Magic Cryst on its forehead. So Yman instructed them that their only choice was to pierce it from its butt towards the monster's forehead.
And so the javelin he thrown pierced through its butt and hit the Magic Cryst from behind. They were shocked by the power of the javelin.
The Magic Cryst popped up and it bounced and rolled on the ground before it stopped.
All of them sighed in relief seeing the monster health points dropped at 10% and it did not heal itself again.
Kiko was being pinned below the monster and could not make a move. He almost lost his consciousness from Chloe's shockwave. If not because of his Mana Membrane ability he might die already. But right now his health points were at most 150 left.
He was enraged but he could not do anything in his current situation. He wanted to kill that frogman! He really was puzzled why this monster leaped and did not hit that guy.
Chloe after she fired that shockwave had lost her strengths and the resonance with her deity Jazz, already canceled. Same with her, Mai also already exhausted her mana and was resting beside Chloe. Together with their deities.
Almina was about to finish the monster's life when suddenly it was enveloped by dark red energies. And it was oozing with killing intent and murderous aura. Everyone felt the eerie sensation. Their knees were about to lost strength. The body of the monster slowly changes its color into dark red. Then rolled rapidly. Because of this the guy below it — Kiko had struggled and tried to push the monster's enormous body.
They could hear the other people far behind them were shouting. But none of them understands what those people were shouting.
Yman knows this was the moment. The crazy mode!
"B-Bob!"
Yman who was having difficulty maintaining on feet had managed to call out for Bob.
"Yosh!"
Bob's body muscles suddenly were bulking. His body muscles grow bigger and veins were surfacing everywhere on his body. Even his eyes change into a reddish color. Then he jumped in front of the oozing monster. And tried to stop its rotation.
Yman sneered at the person below it. He could order Almina to finish the monster. Or let Bob pushed the monster to save that guy. But he did not do it. He wanted that guy to die miserably first. After all, he was the first one who had thought of such a thing towards him. He could not let such a dangerous person live. Anyone that could harm his and her sister's life was not worth letting live.
No one among them knows what he was thinking at the moment. No one among them knew what Yman and his sister went through in their childhood.
In order to survive in such a society, he needed to have a cold heart. Or else, he would not live long. He would never be able to see that smile of his sister. In order to avoid that from happening, he must be colder than any glaciers in the world.
Kiko could not even make a noise since his stomach was being pinned by the monster's rotating body. No one even noticed his miserable state. No one except for Yman.
"Yman, bro, I could not hold any longer!" Bob shouted and it was clear from his face that he was at his limit.
"Just a little more..." he was waiting for Kiko to die.
Bob's veins were about to pop out from its muscle while fending the monster.
Yman noticed Kiko already lost the resonance with his deity. Looks like his health points already reached zero. And now blood and wounds started to appear all over his body.
Suddenly,
BANG!
The monster was sent flying towards the forest and crushes all the trees it passes by. Someone punched it.
"This battle is over." Instructor Goki's voice resonates.
He glanced at Kiko's state and frowned. Then he hastily called for a healer.
Later on. Kiko luckily managed to survive in a thin as thread luck. If Goki had been late for one second, Kiko would already be buried deep down below the ground.
Among them all, only two people had seen through Yman's sinister plan at the end part of the battle.
Goki was wondering why that monster did not hit Yman.
But the smiling guy was the one who answered him instead.
He first praised Yman saying that he really was a wise commander.
He said that the spider loves having a living meal. And it saw Yman as a meal from the beginning. Since he was the monster's meal, he must live until the monster decided to eat him. It only attacks those it deemed dangerous. But because Yman was not in his resonance. It was looking at him as a harmless being and was treating him as a food that shouldn't be touched.
In this regard, Yman was the safest in their group. Because that monster would kill first the harmful entity around it.
Goki gawked. His admiration for Yman hit the peak.
Goki knew that even if he did not intrude in that fight, they could kill that monster sooner. With Almina's unfairly high damage that comes from her unknown ability, and with the addition of those two specially recruited trainees, it was only a matter of time that they would finish that monster. Although he could not save Kiko if he did not rush to help.And those three others with them(Mai, Bob, and Chloe). They both had interesting abilities, although, they were weaker if compared to those four: Almina, Kiko, blonde, and smiling guy.It was unbelievable for them to kill that monster since it was a rank C+ Wanderer. Not even him would wish to challenge it.......Yet with that person's direction, it becomes possible for them to kill it.....Goki also felt scared at that person, not because he's strong — he doesn't have strength, not because he had a genius-level skill — he had no mana. But because the way he planned out his battlefield was unprecedented. However, the problem was he wo
The sun was already setting at the west when they arrived at the Human City Z7.City lights were shining brightly from all the establishments they had passed. Yet they had noticed that even in this city, any modern vehicle was absent in this place.Everyone directly went into their rooms that were reserved in advance. All of them were exhausted from the long travel and had no time to appreciate the place.Each of them has their own hotel rooms allocated to them. This hotel was one of the biggest hotels in this city. For most of them, the room was decent; with a 1-bed room, a restroom, a kitchen, a sofa, and a terrace. But for Yman and his sister, this room was grander.He had just finished taking bath and now he was sitting on a sofa while staring at the night sky through the window gap that slightly opened. .The modern vibes inside Human City were different compared to a fantasy-like Empire of Encantasya.Yman was wondering if this world was really the second world of earth. In the
Yman noticed some other trainees on the distance. They were watching at them. Based on their looks, he surmised that they were senior trainees. Although he was wondering that there were only a few senior students in this academy.Every row of trainees there was an instructor facing them. Watching them while managing their actions.If any of the trainees made any unnecessary movements they could be easily be caught and be punished.So every one of them was too careful not to make any slight movement that could be caught the instructor's attention.They were standing straight with both hands straight down on their sides. Everyone's attention must focus only on the person on stage. .Only the gulping sounds of their drying throats were slightly discernible. Everyone was having mixtures of feelings. They were excited and nervous at the same time.After introducing himself to the fledgling trainees, Instructor Stone De Guz Man greeted the new batch of fledglings. They were the new freshmen
After introducing the three elders, the speaker Head Instructor Mr. Stone De Guz Man proceeded by giving a slight briefing about this world and the academy.After the briefing, one of the elders, Elder Gatan used a resonance with his deity. After that, his body was enveloped by blueish mana. A moment later, all those mana that was surrounding him slowly faded like it was being absorbed by his body.This was the skill that only an expert magician could do. The level of understanding and control over magic was not based on a magician's breakthrough level, but it was based on his training and perseverance to learn and how eager he or she wanted to advance his/her level of understanding and control.Elder Gatan was absorbing that mana that was encasing his body to minimize the use of mana at a reasonable degree. Fledgling doesn't know about it. All of them thought that encasing one's body with mana could increase their defense and attack power. But the truth was, it only increased a littl
The water sprite seemed to be interested in him. It was staring at Yman with its big twinkling eyes.It looks so cute as it swayed its small head from side to side, and its small finger pointed below its mouth. Seemingly wondering about him. This female water sprite was having long light blue hair down to its feet and light blue gown that well match on her cute figure.Like a princess, she was sitting on a bubble that was obviously bigger than her body, although this bubble magically did not pop up.Elder Gatan noticed that one of the water sprites still did not return. He glanced towards the trainees and saw one of his water sprites at the backmost and was in staring contest with one of the trainees.Elder Gatan narrowed his eyes, slightly interested at that trainee who got the attention of his water sprite.Yman then lifted the paper in front of him and the water sprite..Seeing the magical paper, the water sprite was seemingly realized her task. It smiled big at him and saluted, th
When Yman's hand landed on the smooth screen surface, he felt a little chill on his skin.He also noticed some evidence of nervousness from those who came before him. Looks like some droplets of sweat stayed on it.He could hear the noise from his surrounding but he had to disregard them. Their murmurs were not of help to him. He needed to concentrate his mind to summon his densest mana.Like what the others did, he also did what he needed to do. His hand slowly envelopes by white brilliance. Although the other's mana was of bright green color, only his that was of white.And everything happened like a dream....Night came pretty fast to someone unaware and happy. But for Yman, he had a lengthy day!Right now Yman was sitting on the sofa while facing the window of his room from the inside and was looking towards the distance outside.Wearing an old t-shirt. His thin shoulders dropped down at a certain angle.In his hand was a glass of cold water. He felt like, he had the longest day o
Inside the barracks, some people were sitting on the chairs that were surrounding the tables placed near the walls and windows.Most of them were wearing the uniform of Middle Region Magic Academy. Yman believes that they were junior or senior trainees.A pub on their left side caught Yman's attention. They were selling some drinks and food. He never had a thought that there would be such a pub inside this place.He also noticed some of the senior and junior trainees that were fixedly staring at the flat screen located on the right side of the counter. But for some reason, they were staring at it without really doing anything. Their deities were beside them. Some were floating while some were sitting on their shoulders or on their heads.Some people that already inside just sent a glance towards them when they stepped in.. Then returned back their sights to where they were originally staring awhile ago.Their images barely reflected in the dusted white tiled-floors that turned yellowi
"Tsk, if only Lady Ice is here, she will kick their asses," said the voiced one."Right, but it was already had been 3 months after she went into seclusion and didn't return yet," replied by someone."Do you think, her advancement had failed?" Asked the former voice."No way, that's impossible!" Exclaimed the later voice."Right. As talented as her, there is no way for her to fail her advancement," the former voice agreed."Yeah. But unfortunately, she's not here. Now we can't even accomplish our quest. Those fuckers from the other academies won't give as breathing even in our own hunting grounds," the later added with a lack of enthusiasm..Some of the loafers inside the barracks were conversing about someone and something in bitterness, which caught in Yman's ears. Their voices have a lack of vigor. He really was wondering if why the atmosphere inside the barracks was kinda gloomy.He wanted to ask the clerk man. But he decided not since they were seemed to be busy at the moment, an
As the fight of Yman against the Noble Rat reached the peak, the meeting of the Elites was still ongoing.After explaining to the Elites about the current situation of the academy, Elder Paan proceeds on discussing the shaded individuals that could be seen displayed in the holographic screens at the end of the clips."I'm sure you are wondering who those people on the screen..." the elder stopped then glanced at the Elites one by one. Noticing that all of them had no idea who those people are, she continued by snapping her fingers. After the elder snapped her fingers, the ten shaded in black figures suddenly revealed their real appearances.The Elites noticed that each of those individuals was wearing academy uniforms of different academies.They also noticed one specific person wearing an academy uniform from the Middle Region Magic Academy. .She has smart looking-eyes, a small nose, and rosy red lips. Her sky-colored pupils gleamed like the crescent moon reflected on it. And her sh
While the meetings of the members of the Elites were ongoing, Yman was struggling against the evolved Evil Rat which now had the name of Noble Rat and reached the pinnacle of D, the D+ Wanderer.Now it stood on its 2 limbs. It's supposed red eyes had turned into hazy yellow. Its pure dark blue fur that covered its whole body, now had milky-white fur arcing on its stomach down to its middle part. Its two ears grew longer, about 10 inches long that stood like horns on its pointy head. And on its face, gleaming in metallic luster, the whiskers were protruding like long needles. Even its razor-sharp claws had grown longer and sharper.Khaaaaaaaa!!! It suddenly yelled. The raspy shrill from it sent shivers on him.The cloak he was wearing had already torn, the clothes were tattered, and marks of blood could be spotted on some of its torn areas.If not because of his healing magic, not only his clothes would be torn at the moment but also his flesh.. For once he was thankful for having such
Not only humans fighting against humans, but also demihumans were against demihumans, and beasts fighting against beasts."The video you just watched were collections of clips from the previous battle in the Worlds Magic Academy Competition." Suddenly said the elder in a stern voice that devoid of emotions.It was cold and a little hoarse.Ahem. (She cleared her throat once again.)The Elites remained silent waiting for the continuation of the elder's words."Probably, some of you might already know the purpose of Magic Academies. Or why it was in such a rule or system. It was of course to prepare you from the sudden attacks of the real enemies lurking everywhere.. But before that, some precarious issues needed to be solved at first.Support us at N~ovElB(I)N(.)NETRight now, this academy was in a tight situation and was in danger of getting pulled out from this world. If that happened, not only the academy would be gone.Also the city itself.Since, this city's resources mostly came
The other Elite members seemed like they were from the native of this world.Kesha glanced at the empty seat. The person whoowned it was still recovering at the moment. He was sent to the famous magical hospital in this city.Sadly, he had injured himself at that time when they fought the rank C+ Mustang Spider. But because of having great talents in magic and owning 4 different types of ability for being a fledgling trainee only was more than enough for him to acquire a seat as an Elite trainee without going through the test.Kesha could only sigh and prayed for his fast recovery.Next to her was a man with medium length red hair. He was sitting calmly while closing his eyes and arms across his chest. With his right leg on top of his left knee.. This person was no other than Mai's cousin, Brai.Kesha noted that this person was also a handsome man and was kind of mysterious. Unlike the infamous wastrel who only knows how to hurt his comrades.Everyone certainly thought that that guy
Reflected in his eyes the shining image of the Evil Rat that was undergoing an evolution phase.The brilliance that envelopes its body had even brightened the place a little.Tsk! Yman as he gnashed his teeth. Never in his wildest dream to be able to see an actual evolution phase of a beast.Seemingly, beasts or monsters will undergo an evolution phase when their battle experience reached a certain threshold.Currently, Yman was downed on his butt on the cold pavement ground, while staring at the Evil Rat in surprised and without batting an eye. Sistela's voice rang in his ears which made him snapped from the shock and pulled him back to reality.He did not even notice his health points which now short of 150 points. After the tail whip attacked that landed on his back, -150 health points were taken from his health bar..He certainly questioned his luck. If seeing it from a different perspective, he might be lucky for witnessing such a rare event. But the situati
Sistela warned after noticing the second Evil Rat made a wise leap in the air while opening its largemouth. Some green liquids were splattering around and looking like small particles of lights when they were hit by the illumination of brilliance from his holographic map.Yman narrowed his eyes. Even though this Evil Rat managed to avoid the ball-web traps, the smoke abled to hinder its vision.He summoned his strength and sent a stab to the leaping Evil Rat.Shing!-30 HP in the red text was visible in his vision when his stab was successfully landed on the Evil Rat's jaw, which followed by squeaking noises from the Evil Rat when the tip of Gladius sword dig in about 3 centimeters in its flesh.|20 defense!| Yman quickly calculated the enemy's defense based on the damage that he dealt it.He has 20 attacks and an additional 15 from the resonance with his deity and another 15 from his Gladius sword. It was 50 in total, but he only managed to take 30 of the monster's healt
Yman scratches his head and forced a dry laugh when he realized that the water passage was still too small for the monster to pass through.He remembered what Mrs. Merced (the woman who issued the quest) said to him. That when he reached the dead end, there was a hole where a person can pass through to his left side. But Yman could not see it, the hole that she mentioned.Suddenly, he heard Sistela's call: He then glanced at the map that was hanging steadily above him. He noticed a thin layer of the wall outline. Based on the map, it was located two steps away from his left side."Must be a camouflage." He muttered and summoned his spear from Cyber Storage..He then pokes the part where the thin layer on the map was shown. Yman narrowed his eyes when the wall that looks so sturdy bend inwardly like a piece of something soft like it was made of cloth, a camouflage cloth to be specific.|It's a well-made replica of the wall.| He thought. |But
The Underground Channel entrance located at the west side of the city, under the bridge, and near the river-dam that streaming steadily towards the end. On the opposite side of the entrance, there was a big dumpsite area that could be seen a little distant from the river-dam. The place was known as West District.At the dumpsite, he could see some smokes that were flying towards the sky and resembles the clouds as they continued to hover higher.After Yman stepped in the entrance, he asked his deity to activate the radar.Sistela replied:He said: "It's not sudden. It's better to have a perfect mapping from the entrance towards the farthest area that we can reach." She questioned him.He scratched his face and replied: "Don't worry, we sure to leave the place before it happened.."Hearing what he said, she resigned then followed what he wants and activated the radar without further retorts.But she really was worried if she emp
Yman asked Sistela about the current time before they going to enter the Underground Channel entrance.He nodded at her after her reply and reminded himself that he only had 2 hours to finish his intention in this place for the day.But Sistela has seemingly noticed something.Suddenly, her complaint was heard by him.At the moment he was wearing a cloak of black color. It covered his body like a robe. His mouth and nose were covered by a mask to get rid of the pungent smell that might invade his throat. The cloak and mask both had poison resistance.His enemies were poisonous creatures, so, it was only natural for him to dress such a way.. No one knows if when the danger would come. One could only realize a danger after they found themselves in a situation.Yman's lips extended into a smile after hearing her, then he cleared his throat and said: "It's not like that. The air
