Chapter 307
Chapter 307
It might be his first time seeing Udaeus, but Tsukasa must admit why many adventurers decided to avoid this monster instead of fighting it.
The power that matched the Level 6 adventurer. Many people might underestimate it, considering they had never seen it with their eyes and only used their imagination through the story of the people.
However, when one sees it with their own eyes, one would realize the terror brought by this monster.
Also, similar to the Goliath, Tsukasa fought on the 17th Floor. Udaeus was also the Monster Rex that appeared on the 37th Floor. It last appeared three months ago and was defeated by the Loki Familia.
After three months, Udaues appeared once again, but this time, Ais was going to use it as a stepstone, so she could become stronger!
“Good luck, Ais,” Tsukasa said while standing a few meters away behind Ais with Riveria next to him.
Ais nodded while facing Udaues resolutely with a determination to defeat it.
Udaues might be just a skeleton monster, seemingly weak, and adding the fact it couldn’t move and only had half of its body, people might think it was easy to defeat it.
However, that was wrong!
If one had such a thought on their mind to face Udaues, there was a 100% chance that person would die.
Ais wouldn’t underestimate this monster.
She was just a Level 5 adventurer, so at that moment, she had to use all of her power!
“Tempest!”
The wind started to surround Ais, and she instantly gained control of the wind around her surroundings. Then without hesitation, she used it as if a jet, boosting her speed, moving like a bolt of lightning, piercing her rapier to Udaeus!
However, the reaction of the Udaeus was simple since it just slammed its giant fist at Ais!
*BOOOOOOOM!!*
“Tsukasa.” Riveria looked worriedly at Ais. Even though she had agreed to let Ais fight against the Udaues alone so Ais could become a Level 6, it was a different matter when she saw how Ais fought with her own eyes. She had always treated Ais like her children, so watching Ais in the hard battle against Udaues, she couldn’t help but feel worried and wanted to help her.
“Riveria, believe in her.” Tsukasa held Riveria’s hand and tried to reassure her.
Riveria looked at Tsukasa and nodded. Still, she looked at Tsukasa and said, “I am just a weak magician, so protect me, alright?”
“……..”
Tsukasa was lost for words. While he admitted Riveria’s status as strength, agility, endurance, and dexterity might be lower than a normal Level 6 adventurer, she definitely wasn’t weak, alright?
After all, Riveria could shoot a large attack that could cover hundreds of meters of space.
Still, if Ais saw they were holding hands, she might lose her focus. Fortunately, she didn’t see anything and had always been focused on her battle against Udaeus.
Udaeus had many skills, one of them was to summon an army of Spartoi, a skeleton monster that matched the power of the Level 4 adventurer.
“I’ll handle them! Focus on Udaues, Ais!” Tsukasa shouted, killing all the Spartoi that appeared before them.
Ais was glad she had Tsukasa beside her, so she could focus on Udaues. “Yes!” She answered him without hesitation.
Besides summoning an army of Spartoi, Udaues could also send a barrage of lances from the ground.
Udaues might not be able to walk and could only stick on the ground while rotating around. However, everything was just a deception to let the people underestimate it before it killed them without mercy!
Still, all of the Udaues’s attacks had been useless on Ais.
Whether it was the army of the Spartoi or the lances were useless from the beginning to the end since Ais had never touched the ground.
Ais had been moving in the air, moving from one place to another as if there was a jet pushing her from behind. Her movement was unpredictable and fast, causing trouble for Udaues. She was moving as if she had a wing. She had become a bird!
By adding the repulsion from her magic, her speed was impossible to follow!
This not only made her able to dodge all of the Udaues attacks, but it also made her attack more impact since her speed compensated for her lack of strength.
“Amazing…” Riveria didn’t expect Ais would grow so strong. She glanced at Tsukasa, who had been protecting her, killing the army of Spartoi with ease, and she knew everything was because of him.
Along with her every attack, the damage to the Udaues was clear to the eyes.
However, how could Udaues be defeated so easily?
Udaues suddenly summoned its giant broad sword and slammed it into Ais!
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
Just one swing of its sword caused the space to explore, and everything on the path was destroyed.
It was the perfect description of utter destruction!
However, Ais dodged it!
Ais stood in the air, right on the top of the ceiling, before she used all the muscles on her body, moving downward toward the Udaeus!
Ais poured all of her magic on her rapier, creating a windstorm that was able to suck in everything around her, including the atmosphere surpassing 50 meters in height. This was something that was taught by Tsukasa, and personally, it was her first time using this technique.
Tsukasa had always told her to control her wind better, and Ais did it in order to become strong!
Ais was glad to have Tsukasa by her side, so she wasn’t going to disappoint him!
‘I’m going to defeat you!’
Ais looked at Udaues with a determined expression, and she was going to defeat it!
This attack caused shock on Udaues and Riveria since they didn’t expect Ais to be able to create such a strong technique!
“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!”
Ais controlled the wind to push her like a jet as she swung the windstorm of a sword to Udaeus!
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*
An even more intense explosion happened!
After Ais swung her attack, she didn’t have control over her attack, and she let her technique go on a rampage!
If Udaeus’s attack previously was utter destruction, then Ais’s attack at this moment was like a catastrophe, a force that someone couldn’t fight and couldn’t do anything against it.
Udaues couldn’t do anything and just let Ais’s attack shred everything apart, turning its body, its magic stone, and everything in the surrounding into rubble!
Tsukasa stood in front of Riveria, protecting her, swinging his blade, so the wind wouldn’t push them away. Still, he must admit magic was really overpowering in this world.
Riveria just stood behind Tsukasa in shock, couldn’t say anything, waiting for this catastrophe to end.
When everything ended, there was nothing, only a giant hole, a magic stone, and a large jet-black sword lying right next to her as her hauls.
Tsukasa and Riveria approached Ais without hesitation while observing the effect of her technique.
While Riveria was speechless, Tsukasa asked, “Ais, are you alright?”
Ais panted, and her breathing was hard. She couldn’t even lift her body, but her voice was full of excitement. “…Tsukasa, I-I have defeated it.”All in her eyes were just his figure. Nothing else. Just him alone.
“Yes, you have defeated it,” Tsukasa said helplessly and carried her in his arms.
Ais smiled and didn’t fight back since being in his arms was just so comfortable. She thought about her dad’s last words when he left her.
‘It would be great if one day you encounter a hero that solely belongs to you.’
Ais let her body be carried by him while thinking she might have found her hero.
‘Thank you, Tsukasa.’
