Beat the Boss Mob

31 – Full moon again

‘I’m in a bit of trouble. This is unexpected.’

Not long after entering the tower, Enlil showed an embarrassed expression.

Something I never knew before. Something she didn’t even notice.

It’s different. The world outside the tower, she lived in, and the mana inside this world were different.

She wasn’t incapacitated, but the difference was palpable.

‘If I do this, my plans will be greatly distorted!’

Until now, what she practiced was refining mana outside the tower.

But from now on, she has to refine the mana inside the tower.

As she crossed the middle of the tower, she almost exhausted the mana she prepared in advance.

You can just use mana the way you used to.

But wouldn’t that make all the hard work in vain?

Rion was convinced. If it was this way, it would be possible to damage the owner of the tower.

Enlil also became convinced of that on the last climb to the tower.

Because it was different. It was because he had a different feeling from the battles he had done so far.

That’s why I couldn’t help but use the mana technique.

So, when Enlil passed the middle of the tower, he entered the mana practice technique.

‘… Also. Different. How should I do this….’

It was difficult. Because I have to abandon the way I was used to.

If you do something recklessly and injure yourself, things will get out of hand.

The tower must be taken down as soon as possible, but time cannot be delayed.

There is no one to even help with the treatment. You have to do it alone.

“Whoa.”

Once, Enlil made a place where he cleaned up the monsters.

Then, he practiced the exercises exactly as Leon had taught him, as his body accepted.

At first, it seemed to go well, but a blockage appeared on the way.

The reason was, of course, because of the difference in mana.

It’s difficult at this rate. I have to do something.

Unable to hide his nervousness, Enlil involuntarily bit his lip.

‘What would Instructor Leone do? He would say that if He were by his side….’

Thought so, Enlil closed his eyes as if he had realized something.

Erases the nervousness that shakes his heart and fills the place with serenity.

‘Right. If Instructor Leone had been there, he would have told me to throw away my nervousness.’

Irritability is poison. It is important to drive out the poison first.

Then reflect on what you have been up to.

If you’ve done that, move forward in your own way and differently.

Don’t stop. Don’t be afraid. Haven’t you done well so far?

In Enlil’s mind, Leon’s words were floating around.

“Huh-uh-“

Correct your breathing. Looking only at Rion, he looks back at himself who just walked along.

What should I do here? If you truly learned from him, how will you move on next?

When I thought that, I finally began to see something invisible.

Sue!—

Enlil did not miss it. He held it tightly in both hands and did not let go.

The mana heart has begun to allow the mana that has been unacceptable until now.

The beginning of the mana training method, the basics have not changed. As learned

However, the process and details have changed little by little.

In accordance with the current situation, within the control of Enlil himself.

Although not taught by him, as a way of learning as well.

‘I can do it. Taking this into consideration, the instructor told me how to find the way and move forward. It’s not just about refining and accumulating mana!’

Reorder mana. It is constantly receiving and refining to filter out impurities.

The mana that had been contaminated by the poisonous aura of the tower gradually regains its purity.

A dark red aura burns around Enlil, and all the dregs are spit out.

The mana she used to do with Leon at her academy was a little different from her seniority.

It’s a little slower than then, and it’s clunky, though. That deep

‘Even to fulfill my duty and destiny. Even to protect the world. And, even to live up to his expectations. You have to do it. No. You can do it.’

Shaaa!—

When at last the end was reached, Enlil could smile.

Success. He did not stop at simply following what he was told.

I have transformed it in my own way, I have succeeded, and I have learned to use it.

You can now perform the technique that was hindered by the mana inside the tower without any problems.

It has become a slightly different format from the mana I used before, but it doesn’t matter much.

Now you’ve got the strength to go again, and you know how to speed things up even more!

‘Let’s go again.’

A completely different energy emanates from Enlil, who slowly rises.

That is why Lion in the Throne Hall missed Enlil.

Because it was an energy I had never experienced before, it was completely covered.

Rion, who had no way of knowing that fact, misunderstood that Enlil had died.

In the meantime, Enlil steadily climbed the tower and finally reached the Throne Hall.

*

“You better be prepared.”

Quarre!―

It’s not the mana that burned like the bright red flames of before.

It still has a red aura, but there is something else in it.

It’s like the blue mana that Leone used.

‘Ha.’

The moment he saw that, Leon unknowingly let out a sigh of relief.

I thought I was dead, I thought my hope was dashed, but it wasn’t.

The mana practice method he taught me, he made it perfectly his own.

From there, I went one step further and had to control it in another way.

In fact, Lyon also knew that someday he would have to reach that point.

Because the mana inside and outside the tower is different. Because this is an unblessed place.

But I didn’t think that would be right away.

It was too early for that, and Enlil’s level of mana practice was considered insufficient.

I expected that even if I couldn’t do it, I would only catch it after a few challenges.

“You’re a bit late this time. Enlil. Has the level gone down now? Have you become so weak that you can’t even guarantee victory or defeat to the monsters below you?”

“You can talk as you like. No matter what you say, I know what I’ve got.”

After saying that, Enlil started to attack in waves from the beginning.

Chaechaechaechaeng!―

Overwhelming quick attack. Even chasing the movement of the sword was difficult.

It’s not just that sword skills have increased. The mana that supports it is completely different.

In the past, even though it was vast, it felt like I couldn’t hold onto it.

The size may have decreased now, but the density has become incomparably denser.

The power and speed that came out of it far surpassed that of Enlil in the past.

‘Okay. Okay. Exactly like this. I wanted something like this. What Seria couldn’t show. The other warriors who couldn’t learn how to practice mana were dead and couldn’t do it even if they woke up! That’s what Enlil is doing!’

I feel like my whole body is going to burst with joy. I feel like I’m going to go crazy with the hope that disappeared.

More than anything I’ve ever faced, I enjoy it more now. I get so excited.

No matter how hard I tried to kill my emotions, no matter how much I tried to calm my excitement, it was absolutely impossible.

“… ?”

It was not Enlil who would not notice the change.

In the midst of attacking and defending, she cut off her sword and stepped back slightly.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you paying attention?”

I’ve been defeated and defeated, but never before.

It can be said with certainty that even if that being didn’t do its best in the fight against itself, at least it never had other thoughts while looking at something else.

But since he suddenly appeared like that, Enlil couldn’t help but think of it as strange.

“The person who has been defeated every time until now is paying attention to strange things. Are you that generous?”

It almost made me wonder. You should never do that.

Leone as usual. No, she showed a bit more arrogance than usual.

And fortunately Enlil immediately frowned at her arrogance.

“It was only because the mana you used was different from before. Do not worry. Enlil. From now on, properly. I will deal with you as I have always done.”

It is true that the level has risen sharply. This is undeniable.

Then, can Enlil’s strength compete head-to-head with the tower’s owner?

Unfortunately, that’s not the case. It should be seen that it is still a long way off.

Koo-goo-gu-

Black power gathers in Leon’s hand, revealing her terrifying aura.

It’s like a black storm, and it’s also like the middle of an endless hell.

“Let’s do it again. Eleanor Celestine.”

“As much as you like.”

Blowing up the mana more brilliantly, Enlil collided head-on into Leon.

*

“….”

“Aren’t you going to ask me to kill you this time?”

As expected, Leon was victorious and Enlil was defeated.

Unlike Rion, who looked fine, Enlil was not in a good condition.

But that means that he has grown to a level where Enlil cannot be tolerated.

“If you’re going to kill me, kill me.”

Still, Enlil didn’t seem to care too much about his life.

If you keep doing this, the person who lets you live may be suspicious.

I thought I had some regrets in my life, but I’m still lacking….

“But I mean.”

Enlil continues her words with anger burning in her eyes.

“Isn’t it a bit regretful to kill you now?”

Aren’t you asking me to come back when I’m strong enough to fight you on an equal footing?

So as you wish, I keep coming back stronger.

The next time you come, I will definitely make you regret that decision.

Enlil’s eyes seemed to be saying that.

“… hahahaha. hahahaha! Ahahahahaha!!”

Hearing those words, Leon burst into laughter without even realizing it.

There’s nothing good about showing emotions, I thought.

How can I stay calm after hearing that?

“As expected. I was right.”

Looking at the warrior who challenged him, the owner of the tower reiterated the words he once said.

“You shine more than anyone else.”

“….”

“That’s why, when it shines the most, I will definitely break it into pieces. Enlil.”

“Crazy.”

It was Enlil who left a short and thick review.
