Chapter 229: Ruvoid
"They come from underground? What's hidden down there?" Elysia voiced her surprise. No wonder the monsters kept popping up out of nowhere as if they were endless.
Vanessa flew up to the sky to better check the situation. They were in the middle area of this cursed forest. She needed to be extra careful if monsters like this kept coming non-stop.
'Ely, this time, they are level 85 and above. Uh... Some of them are at level 120. Now what? They keep popping up... What's with this spot?' Elena spoke in confusion.
The monsters' levels were not excessively high, but they were bothersome with different unique traits. No one knew what they were going to face.
'Let's just run away. The monster's number keeps growing... Did I break the seal accidentally or something? It's hard for me to fight against a horde of monsters like this relying only on physical attacks.' Elysia decided to run away.
She could only rely on the Reinforcement Magic to strengthen herself and the Enhancement Magic for her weapon to slaughter monsters. But, if the enemy continued to grow in number as if it was endless, then she needed help for that.
The only magic that could help her was the earth element. However, earth magic could only significantly injure the accursed monsters if she manipulated the ground instead of creating it with magic directly. The worry came because the earth magic she used this time seemed like it had triggered something.
After Elysia gave Vanessa an instruction, they flew away in invisible magic from the hundreds of monsters that kept popping up. The middle area of the cursed forest was already unfavorable for farming, battle.
Right below them was a monster three times the size of the others. The monster just came out from the underground and looked around, then looked up with its green eyes. It noticed a creature other than its race flying several meters above the ground.
"Roar!"
The giant monster picked up a large rock and threw it into the sky. Then, uprooting large trees, boulders, and even smaller monsters were also thrown into the sky to bring down the white tiger, who was still in invisible mode.
'Hng! Vann, dodge!' Elysia was taken aback when several objects shot up into the sky, targeting them.
Vanessa flapped her wings and avoided the incoming attacks. Her master even put protective magic as she almost failed to dodge some of the surprise attacks. Then she flew higher to observe potential attackers.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'We're still covered in invisible magic, but someone attacked us? From where?' Elysia inspected the area below, hundreds of monsters appearing more and more from the underground.
'Ely, look there! The huge monster with a grey tattoo and glowing green eyes. It's the one that attacked, and looks like that big monster can see you too even though invisible magic is still in effect.' Elena pointed in one direction at the monster who was watching them.
[| Lv. 150 | Spirit Accursed Ruvoid | Dark Bane Abomination | HP: 1,505,000 / 2,105,000 | EP: 150,000 / 150,000 |]
'What!? Why is the status of this monster much higher than the others? The difference is too far from the Great Master level monster over there. This Spirit level accursed monster looks terrifying and sinister...' Elysia felt sluggish when she saw the monster's status.
The attacks failed to bring down the winged creature. The giant monster pounded the ground furiously. Then, Purplish black miasma appeared around the monster's body, and tentacles came out behind its body. It looked up then jumped to the sky at a breakneck speed.
'Watch out!' Elena warned in a crisis, and Elysia realized what was coming.
Elysia used her magic to create additional barriers. She and Vanessa quickly avoided the attack that nearly hit them.
"Grr!" The monster kicked the air and shot back at the tiger that came out of the invisible magic.
*Crush*
Several layers of the barrier vanished from a mere contact. Elysia tried to deflect the attack with her sword, but they fell on impact. Aerial combat with such an enemy was extremely disadvantageous.
Their landing was smooth on the ground, some distance away from the hordes of monsters, in the more open area than the previous battlefield.
'Ugh, Vann. Prepare yourselves for battle. Our enemy is much stronger than ever. Don't get surrounded by any monsters.' Elysia buried her intention to run away. This monster's speed was too dangerous to be left alive.
'I understand, master. Please be careful. This one is much stronger than me.' Vanessa folded her wings, then changed to her most potent form. She turned into the five meters long fierce tiger.
*Bam*
The Spirit level monster landed 15 meters from Elysia, glaring intently at the human before it. "Food... Hungry."
Elysia could hear the deep voice coming from the monster's mouth, and she was sure it was an ancient language.
"Mister monster, are you hungry? You may taste this." Elysia gulped her saliva and took out a pizza box, and threw it at the Spirit-class monster.
The monster caught the slow and weak attack, then it sniffed at the pizza box instead of brushed it off. Elysia seized the opportunity for a surprise attack.
An earth-spear rose sharply from beneath the monster, a deadly blow from a tangible physical object. Yet, the target just dodged the attack aside with ease, like a monkey. Then, the monster threw the pizza box into its mouth full of fangs.
"Food!" The spirit monster shot out with a scream.
Elysia dodged it, struck back with a shockwave attack to throw the giant monster away, and launched a follow-up attack with several sharp earth spikes.
"Uh, don't you know any other word than food?" Elysia complained when she saw that her follow-up attack did not hit the agile monster.
"Grr!" The monster growled and jumped with a mighty thrust. This time, it was aiming for the big one.
"Your opponent is me!" Elysia sped off at a higher speed. She swung her long sword in anxiety due to the enemy's high action speed.
*Crack*
The level 35 sword cracked the instant Elysia used it to protect Vanessa... Her magic and the impact was too big for it to bear. The monster that was hit by the powerful slash bled and was blown several meters away.
'Vann, leave this monster to me. Take this blessing, and please lure the monsters away from here. Don't fight head-on. There are too many of them.' Elysia provided some Reinforcement Magic to strengthen Vanessa's power and speed.
She gave the task because the risk of being surrounded by hundreds of monsters was not acceptable. To buy time when she was about to slaughter this giant monster. And, this monster's speed was too fast for Vanessa to keep up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'I will carry it out without fail, master.' Vanessa immediately straightened her wings and returned to the sky. She threw some wind and lightning magic just to attract the attention of the horde who were on their way to her master.
"Food!" The Spirit Accursed Ruvoid screamed as the white tiger moved away towards the sky. The monster jumped high to the sky to target Vanessa again.
However, Elysia could not allow that. "Stay here!" The decisive blow from the shattered sword struck the monster's body.
*Bang*
The monster that more than 6 times bigger than Elysia plunged heavily onto the ground. Still, it wasn't enough to bring down the enemy. It was back on its feet in anger. She managed to become aggro, and the monster went after her. "Graaa! Food, injure!?"
Elysia blocked the attack with an earth wall and held the monster there with earth traps. The monster's arms, legs, and tentacles were held in place. "That's a new vocabulary from you, Mr. big monster."
She threw the handle of her broken sword with magic at the monster's face for diversion and took out a level 35 spear. The definite stab was delivered to the trapped creature, right through the heart. It penetrated all the way to its back.
"Fatality." Elysia declared her victory in a sweat. The battle at high speed only lasted in a matter of a few seconds.
'Don't heave a sigh of relief. It's not dead yet!' Elena scolded the girl who thought the victory was in hand.
Elysia's eyes widened, and she immediately jumped back, leaving the spear stuck in the monster's body. It was a powerful attack that could inflict a large crater and massive damage. Still, it only reduced the enemy's HP by a quarter?
The weak point wasn't the head or the heart anymore? The monster's heart was broken, but it was still alive. The attack which aimed at the head earlier was also simply ignored... This was troublesome.
The purple blood of the monster quickly corroded the spear, but it didn't stop there.
"Gwrua!!!" The monster roared loudly, as if on a rampage, and went into berserk mode.
The monster rebelled, the concrete ground that sealed its limbs crumbled in an instant. Then, the enraged monster pulled the spear from its chest and crushed it with its teeth. It was a level 35 weapon, but it only became a softwood stick upon meeting the monster's sharp fangs.
"Sealed, so long... Hungry... Kill, kill, perish!" The monster grumbled incoherently with its terrible voice. Then, it stuck its four tentacles into the ground. Numerous pitch-black tentacles appeared tens of meters around.
Elysia dodged to the side, right, left, jumped into the air, several maneuvers, and returned to the ground... She continued to avoid the swift attacks of black energy tentacles that appeared from the ground and aimed at her. Her counterattack was ready as she approached the monster.
She once again took out a level 35 sword, one of her last three weapons from Harold's gift. Without realizing it, she was using Reinforcement Magic and Enhancement Magic much higher than ever before.
What Elysia knew, she only needed to slash and slash, then cut off the head of the monster in front of her. Whereas the attacks she used already exceeded her body's capacity to sustain physical performance amplified by magic.
