Chapter 162
“The Mission” Part 4
As the rest of the heroes fled to freedom led by Oscar and Rita, Kalysto opened her inventory.
“Oh, not so fast guys!” She commented with a smile as she passed the axe to her left hand and pulled out a mana crystal with her right hand while keeping her gaze fixed on the army of monsters advancing towards her down the wide street. Behind them, a lich dressed in a black robe, and a staff with a huge gem on its tip, looked at her with a sadistic smile carved on his skeletal face.
[Does the user wish to absorb this mana crystal?]
[YES/NO]
Yes! she thought.
[Congratulations! The user has acquired 6000 MP!]
Joy shone on Kalysto’s face as a rush of adrenaline surged through her body and she launched herself at the enemy army with her axe in hand.
“Level fifty, here I come!” She muttered with a maniacal smile on her face. “Ezhil Purification! Ezhil Dispel! Ezhil Purification!” She quickly conjured over and over again as she charged into the enemy ranks whose bodies began to disintegrate as the golden light touched their bodies under the watchful eye of the lich, whose smile immediately faded as he saw the danger she posed to his large collection of minions and hastily conjured a spell in an attempt to stop her.
[You have gained 400 experience points!] x140
[The skill Dispel Ezhil has been raised to level 14!]
[You’ve leveled up!]
[The user is now level 46!]
[You have gained 300 experience points!] x150
On her side, Kalysto was excited at the amount of points she was gaining, and all the points she could gain if that lich would summon more undead.
[You have gained 150 experience points!] x110
[You have gained 200 experience points!] x100
With adrenaline pumping through her blood she didn’t even bother to evade the rain of dark mana crystals that fell on her, hitting them with her axe and splitting them in half to then switch her weapon for the mace, and start hitting them in all directions as if she was participating in a volleyball game.
“You cursed human, tremble before the fury of our lord like the earthworm that you are!” shouted the lich, and beams of green light were launched at her.
Kalysto dodged the first round as she continued running towards the lich and put the mace back in her inventory. At the same time, she started jumping from side to side, evading the attack while approaching the rest of the army she had not yet disintegrated.
“Ezhil Purification! Dispel Ezhil! Ezhil Purification!” She conjured again almost fifty meters away from the lich, who stopped throwing lightning with both hands and started to cast another spell with one of them while the other kept attacking her.
[You have gained 200 experience points!] x100
[You have leveled up!]
[The user is now level 47!]
[You have gained 300 experience points!] x150
[You have gained 100 experience points!] x150
This time a huge green circle was drawn several meters above her and thousands of dark mana crystal stakes emerged from it.
Shit!
Too focused on evading them she didn’t notice that the lynch, despite having stopped the lightning attack, began to conjure a new spell with the hand he now had free while with the other he held the summoning.
Kalysto evaded most of the crystals but every now and then some sharp edge from which she had not moved far enough away or had not hit in time with her axe, hit her body, creating cuts on her arms and legs. Then she switched back to her weapon, taking out the mace and smashing one of the crystals with force, sending one right into the face of the concentrated lich, who didn’t manage to evade it in time. Thus breaking his concentration on both spells he had been conjuring.
“Dirty human! How dare you?” Then he launched himself at her at high speed, using his staff as a weapon and smashing her face.
“Sorry to interrupt your evil speech but I bathe much more often than you, and when I can’t use water, I purify myself,” she mocked while evading the blow with the handle of her mace. “I’m not the one whose breath stinks of rottenness,” she scoffed. Kalysto didn’t know from where but suddenly the tip of a dagger cut her cheek, she could barely avoid the cut being much deeper when the lich took advantage of her carelessness and hit her hard in the side, sending her several meters backward and stealing all the air from her lungs.
“Insolent! I’ll teach you to respect your superiors!” Several magic circles were drawn around the lich’s hands and wrists. “Rise my servants and destroy my enemies!” And the thousands of corpses of soldiers and monsters that were flooding the streets began to rise up and rushed towards her in a herd as the lich stepped back and began to conjure a new spell.
Doesn’t this guy realize that it only makes me stronger? She thought, confused at the enemy’s stupidity.
“Ezhil purification! Dispel Ezhil! Ezhil purification!” She muttered, “Regeneration! Regeneration!”
[You’ve gained 300 experience points!] x50
[The skill Ezhil Purification has risen to level 18!]
[You have gained 300 experience points!] x150
[The skill Dispel Ezhil has raised to level 15!]
[You’ve leveled up!]
[The user is now level 48!]
But while Kalysto was too focused on getting more points and leveling up fast, almost a hundred meters behind the whole new undead army, a huge magic circle was drawn behind the lich and several blobs of thick black liquid came out of the magic circle, creating a huge three-meter tall figure with two tiny eyes and a giant mouth that crossed its entire figure across its width, full of sharp teeth.
The creature opened its mouth and a powerful roar emerged from its throat, shaking the ground and freezing in its place all the undead that had been attacking her, their bodies trembling with terror.
[The user is under the attack of the ‘Fear’ skill and her defense dropped by 50% as well as all her stats.]
[The ‘Mental Defense’ skill has withstood the attack and all stats have returned to normal.]
Upset at the thought that this thing could rob her of the experience points that would come with the death of thousands of undead surrounding her, Kalysto lunged toward the creature, ready to finish it off. But as she approached it parts of the dark body of the new monster detached from its gelatinous body and were thrown towards the body of the saintess who dodged them in time only to discover that the spot she had just jumped from began to melt upon contact with the black substance.
No physical attacks, then. She thought, and jumped back, putting some distance between them, but the nasty creature seemed not to like the idea and began to advance towards her.
“Ezhil Purification! Dispel Ezhil!” But unlike what she had believed, the summoned creature, like the lich, was immune to her power.
