NOVPUBKuufa endured, protecting the former slave girl and the Branch Manager.
“Ho-ho! What the heck, are you people! You’re all good, it seems! Then how about this!” (Oswen)
Suddenly, meteorites started exploding into smaller pieces, widening the range of the attack even further, forcing even Litty to increase her guard.
And just before one of the scattered meteorites, which had almost turned into sand, reached Litty, the meteorite reformed to its original shape again and aimed at Litty.
“Take this!” (Oswen)
The meteorites reformed in all directions, and mostly in everyone’s blind spots. Which then started to assault them.
With this strategy, an ordinary party would have been easily destroyed. It didn’t matter what position or job they have, the assault would simply crush them.
Oswen thought that they could not dodge anymore, but he was wrong.
With Litty’s out-of-this-world core and reflex speed, she rotated and knocked down all the meteorites. At the same time, she moved in front of Roma to protect her as well.
The series of movements had even Oswen, as expected, rolling off his tongue.
“What the heck! Was that not enough to beat you up!” (Oswen)
As he was saying this, a meteorite shot out from the ground. This time, the attack came from directly below.
Litty easily evaded it, and it mysteriously didn’t hit Roma either. Litty was in rhythm and reading Oswen’s rhythm at the same time.
Just when Oswen thought Litty was just running around, she was quickly able to get in front of him, but Litty’s move was interrupted by Oswen’s.
“What…!” (Litty)
“This is the end. If you had a little bit of magic power, it wouldn’t have ended like this. Low-Rank Dark Magic Unmoving. This slows down the progress of everything.” (Oswen)
This was the reason Maamu’s treatment was not progressing. Litty did not know the activation conditions, but she could tell that her body had slowed down.
Litty held out her shield, hoping to at least guard against a follow-up attack.
“Oops, look out from behind!” (Oswen)
Sand turned into a meteorite and hit Litty directly in the back. Litty’s body was in a hunched pose, making Oswen proud of his victory.
Damage to the spinal cord would make it impossible to fight. Oswen’s knowledge as a Sage told him so.
She would spit up blood and collapse miserably. Such a scene was already replaying in Oswen’s mind.
Litty’s stance was breaking, and she was on the verge of stumbling and falling forward. But she persevered.
“Shield Attack!” (Litty)
“Hoogee!” (Oswen)
Litty rushed forward with her shield and collided head-on with Oswen. The impact disabled Oswen’s entire body and broke his nose.
Even after receiving a lot of damage to her bones and internal organs, Litty was still able to deliver a powerful blow. The blow carried enough physical power to be considered as lethal to the body of Napt, a magician.
However, because of the effect she received from unmoving magic, it reduced Litty’s physical ability, which was a lifesaver for Napt.
“Defense can also be an offense. The people you made fun of taught me that.” (Litty)
Shield Attack itself was a Heavy Warrior skill, but the timing and boldness she had at delivering the attack was that of a knight. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Litty had outsmarted Oswen, who had decided to defend himself from the front.
“Oh, no… this is not good… but I can handle it… my stupid apprentice’s body can’t take much more of this…” (Oswen)
“Please back off. And please apologize for making fun of Ilysis-san.” (Litty)
“I see… I see… well, you might be…” (Oswen)
“Myan!”
“Gyaa!” (Oswen)
Myan bit the tip of Oswen’s nose. When he swatted her away, she shuffled back to Litty and threatened him again.
“Myaan!”
“You, you little phantom beast, you… to a Sage like me… how can a Myan judge me as a bad… You…” (Oswen)
Oswen rubbed his nose, understanding Myan’s habit. From that attack, his eyeballs started circling around again, which made Litty and the others think that he was about to go away.
“Well… I saw a good thing…. I was blindsided…. It’s still in its infancy…. But I warn you….Litty and Kuufa…. Summons are not good for you…. Especially that water spirit there…” (Oswen)
Napt’s words were cut off when his body convulsed violently. A black dot appeared in the vicinity and spread out in a circle.
“This time, in the flesh, I’d like to see you… someday, hohohoho…” (Oswen)
Napt was sucked into a circle filled with a jet-black void. Immediately after, the circle then contracted and disappeared at high speed.
Kuufa also released her High-Rank Water Magic – Cold Mother.
The healed branch manager was stunned as he sat up.
“…We’re saved.” (Branch Manager)
So relieved was the Branch Manager, but he did not look up. Compared to the instructors and apprentices who ran away, he was an excellent magician, but in front of Kuufa and Oswen, he was negligible.
For a few moments, the words didn’t come out of the Branch Manager, even though he knew he was supposed to thank them first.
