Pick Me Up!

Chapter 129: (2)

As long as theyre stored in a designated place in the armory, the right consumables can be taken out as needed.

Its useless now without a master, though.

There are a few other limitations.

But it was clear that this made combat more flexible.

Dimensional magic is quite an advanced high-level spell

Eloka swallowed hard.

I turned my gaze forward and said.

You can close it. Its useless here anyway.

Clack, clatter! Human! Die!

[Lizardman Lv.27] X 31

[Lizardman Shaman Lv.29] X 2

Lizardmen poured out of the cave, surrounding us.

They brandished their weapons towards the sky, glaring at us with furious eyes.

Clatter!

The small-statured lizardman in the lead charged at us, clutching a spear.

I stepped lightly, swinging my sword down. Swish. A severed arm, trailing a streak of red blood, flew through the air.

The creature let out a pitiful scream and collapsed.

Just do what we always do.

Right.

Here I go.

Me, Velkist, and Jenna began the battle with expressions devoid of tension.

We formed a triangular formation around Eloka and Katiio in the center, repelling the enemies.

Eloka, with her eyes closed, began chanting.

I never imagined I would be doing this here.

Katiio muttered bitterly, pulling out a small hexagonal stone from his pocket.

It was enveloped in a blue aura. It seemed to be a magic stone.

Attribute Enhancement, Activation.

Katiio threw the magic stone.

The surrounding rocks and sand swirled around the magic stone, gathering to form a massive human-like figure.

A golem?

The 3-meter tall golem, uttering a strange moan, swung its arms.

The lizardmans face was flattened like a pancake.

Attribute Enhancement, Penetration.

Katiio took out a second magic stone.

[Katiio () applies attributes to the entire 1st Party!]

[Consumable Item Magic Stone of Strength Enhancement (Low-Grade)]

[The entire partys strength increases.]

I quickly checked my stats.

My strength had increased by about 5.

A strength-enhancing stone.

Each time the magic stone shattered in Katiios hand, light seeped into the entire body of the party members.

All abilities increased. A simple yet efficient buff. Then I looked at Katiio.

Teleportation.

The light-enshrouded golem appeared, having jumped a distance of 10 meters.

Telekinesis.

Higher than Elokas level by several grades.

It was strong enough to solidify the sand into a high wall.

Shield.

The bolt shot by a crossbow-wielding lizardman ricocheted off, powerless.

Even interference with spells.

The red glow disappeared from the staff of the lizardman shaman who was casting a berserking spell.

Clack? Why is the power

Velkist split the creatures head in half.

Next to him, Elokas flame burst forth. A charred body, ignited by the explosion, scattered.

Eloka withdrew her hand and opened a mana potion.

You dont have to.

Blue mana threads seeped into Eloka.

Uh, what.

It seems mana transfer is also possible.

A few minutes later.

The courtyard in front of the cave was piled high with the bodies of lizardmen.

Jenna muttered.

How many things he can do?

Why dont you ask directly?

I flicked the blood off my sword blade and sheathed it.

A few were left, but it was fine. They were huddled in a corner, trembling.

Its really fascinating. I thought all magicians just blasted fire or lightning.

Traditionally, thats the norm. Elemental magic has a history of thousands of years, a prestigious

Remnants of the old generation.

Yes, remnants of the old generation not!

Smooth dodge.

I chuckled lightly.

I dont feel it. I think the female magician is better.

Its not apparent on the outside.

In small-scale, short-term battles, elemental mages are naturally more efficient.

I dont know how you guys fight, so I cant adjust to it.

Katiio grumbled, looking at the scattered corpses.

Over 50 in total. We were unscathed.

You seem to fight better than I thought.

So, are you ready to do this properly?

With a thrust.

I ended the life of one more creature.

The last monster. As the Stage Clear message appeared, my body began to be enveloped in light.

But fighting here, instead of Harla

Take your time to think. We have plenty of it.

Theres still a lot of time.

It would be good to judge after estimating this mission.

There are definitely forms where elemental mages struggle.

Anytng, who logged in in the evening, seemed to have a similar thought.

Initially, I tried to put her in the 2nd party, but after Ediss refusal message popped up, I didnt force a reshuffle. I just gave Katiio instructions for research and airship management.

After finishing the basic instructions, a popup window appeared for Anytng.

A message that had appeared several times since the last raid.

[Master, an unidentified channel chat has been detected.]

[Would you like to check it?]

[Yes(Select) / No]

Even Anytng, who had been consistently ignoring it, touched Yes out of curiosity.

Sinene > Hey.

Sinene > Feels good using someone elses hero and airship, huh?

Sinene > Worthless ***. Youre done for. Treating you kindly and you see people as fools.

Sinene > Think this is the end? LOL. There were a few like you. Just wait, one week from now.

[Chat has ended.]

The chat window disappeared.

Anytng continued the game as if nothing happened.

He should give up.

All the main heroes were dead, and the magicians and airships were taken.

Every core facility was burned down, and the facility levels had also dropped. Its a significant loss, requiring more than a month and a huge amount of gems for recovery. Yet, the attitude was overly confident.

Theres something to do before moving on to the main mission.

Yurnet.

Yurnet continued.

Dont use the fleet. Unless they target Niflheimr.

If thats not my response, then theres no point in returning to Townia.

But theres also a risk involved. I have something else in mind.

I finished my drink to the last drop.
