Episode 167 – Use traps while watching your opponent closely
#One
I could feel the children panicking outside.
Manus himself was taken aback by the sudden development.
One-on-one with the boss… … Was there an event like this?
I raised my eyes and looked at Chesthip, who exuded a malevolent aura.
The essence of the guy is a wizard, but he has already given up his human form.
Moreover, in the message, it was clearly called a ‘recluse’.
That means that the manager of this garden has chosen a new gardener.
“Poor you.”
For Manus, it was sudden.
There was no way to know why he had become hostile to him or why he had made such an extreme choice.
To be honest, I wasn’t interested.
There were still many children who were still young and had to grow up.
It would be hard to take care of them, but there was no reason to even care about a grown assistant.
Manus’s true feelings came out in words.
As if stimulated by that word, Chesthip hit the ground roughly.
[mind… … Nuss-!]
Cheerureuk-!
Tree trunks rose from the ground.
The thorns stabbed like huge awls aimed at Manus’ lower body.
Has the battle already begun?
Manus lightly kicked the ground and smiled whitely.
A space of only the two of us with no one else.
In a place where there was no outside interference, there was no need to notice anyone.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.
“You should have dug traps while watching the opponent.”
Roaring-!
How powerful is the 5th class?
Enhanced [Caesar’s Attitude], [Spirit’s Whisper], [Attack Skills], and [Wizard’s Attitude].
The passive skills he had accumulated so far increased their power one by one.
Increases damage by 50% for power that exceeds the power of class 5. In addition, 30% attack power increase and power amplification using multiple magics.
Qurrr-!
The 5th class magic completed in that way already contained the heat that the 5th class could not call.
What would the head of the Floys family look like if they saw this scene?
Manus took the dot of the magic circle with a foolish thought.
[Ardor]
[Altus]
The orb of flame exploded, forming a huge waterspout.
It also affected the plants in the garden beyond the barrier, and the fire began to spread.
The hermit who was properly hit by the magic let out a scream.
It was a terrible pain.
[Gaaa!]
“It is very noisy.”
Woowook Hu-.
My breathing quickened and my body began to warm up.
The mana consumed quickly filled up.
[Manus-!]
A hermit who rushes through a pillar of fire.
Suddenly, the giant, who made a huge hammer out of a tree trunk, fell towards Manus.
If that fits properly, it would be one room?
Manus measured the power.
Then, instead of avoiding it, I started casting.
He believed in his skills.
I learned the [Counter] skill in preparation for such an occasion.
[Geuh uh uh-!]
Even while his whole body was burning, his malice towards Manus did not stop.
It must have taken more damage than I thought, and it looks like it has turned into black ash.
Even so, the blow the hermit struck was instant death.
Either that or not, Manus closed his eyes and concentrated, but-.
[Ardor] – [Degeneratio]
[Double Spread]
The magic circle of 5th class fire magic and 5th class black magic was torn to pieces.
Maybe even more vicious and terrible magic than Anais’ private plane.
Black magic, which drastically lowers the opponent’s stats, was also useful when dealing with bosses.
Perhaps because of this, there were many recipes combining black magic and elemental magic.
It is a magic that can be used as a main force in the 3rd and 4th zones, and a skill that was called a national skill in the middle.
Originally, it should not be usable in the garden, but the story is different with Manus.
[porridge… … aaa!]
aaang!
It was a blow with all his might.
The hermit is a demon who knows the magician’s weakness very well.
His knowledge as a teaching assistant quickly struck down Manus with maximum attack power.
It was accompanied by excruciating pain, but I gritted my teeth and endured it.
This body given by Andrea allowed him to withstand the power of magic beyond the 5th class.
Furthermore, as long as he is in the garden, he has the ability to regenerate indefinitely unless he loses his life in one hit.
So, approach and kill without hesitation!
[That… … 100 million?!]
A huge shock must have been inflicted on the other person.
It was definitely a situation that should have been a porridge.
That’s also true, because Manus closed his eyes and didn’t defend himself.
Since he was attacked defenselessly, he must have become a lump of blood.
But what is this pain?
A dull pain ran through her body, as if her body was about to break.
A pain that doesn’t even scream.
The excruciating pain of being unable to struggle and sinking to the ground tormented the hermit.
[Counter – Exgo]
[Reflects physical attacks with a 30% chance]
[Reflects with a 100% chance when receiving damage exceeding 50% of max HP]
[Can only be used up to 1 time per battle]
“A stupid thing.”
At first glance, it was not a normal attack.
In terms of defense, Guillermo, who is unrivaled, was also unable to withstand the blow.
A skill that prevents instant death.
It was one of the skills Manus learned in preparation for the future.
[that… … AA AA AA!]
Chesthip screaming and wriggling.
Manus calmly and resolutely completed his magic.
cadenza.
Finally, I was able to complete the 5th class magic.
[Figuere Vafort]
dry flame.
A heinous magic that burns the opponent’s defense, magic resistance, and mana and inflicts additional damage equal to the corresponding value was completed.
Flames colored in the form of demons overtook the hermit.
Kwadeuk, Kwadeuk-!
It must have been burning in flames, but I heard the sound of something chewing.
A spark that gnaws at the hermit like a beggar possessed.
It was a grotesque sight, but Manus could not observe it properly.
‘It’s pretty tough.’
Used two 5th class magic three times in a row.
It’s not as good as class 6 magic, but the mana consumption is quite high.
If it wasn’t for using 80% of mana by combining the two magics with Cadenza, the mana shortage would have occurred.
The 5 class triple spread was unappreciative, and I couldn’t even look at it yet.
If it weren’t for the passives obtained this time, the 5 class double spread would not have been successful.
As hard as it was, the power was certain.
It was because the smell of burning firewood wafted in the air and the hermit figure disappeared.
What was left there was Chesthip himself, who was in a state of disrepair.
“… … eww.”
“Did you harbor malice toward me, who had nothing to do with you? The end is really ugly.”
“… … Professor Kai’Sa’s favor is… … It should have been mine.”
“okay. It is yours.”
Manus didn’t care about Professor Kai’Sa’s favor.
There is only one reason why he accepted the professor’s offer.
It was only to get inspiration to move on to the 6th class or higher at the academic conference.
Hearing his words spoken without emotion, Chesthip’s body trembled once.
Manus’ words made Chesthip obsessed with hatred to the very end.
Chest Hip shouts with a boiling voice, as if spitting out curses.
“you… … ruined everything… … everything!”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Professor Kai’Sa wanted to take you to the conference as well. I just gave her a little help with her thesis.”
“… … what?”
“Stupid and pathetic. I feel sorry for Professor Kai’Sa.”
Upon hearing these words for the first time, Chesthip’s rage intensified.
My body was already unable to function, and my consciousness was blurred.
However, the determination to go after hearing the last words was holding on to his fading life.
“that is… … What are you talking about… … . that, what is that-”
“Did you have a sense of qualifications about the subject that you couldn’t even fathom your teacher’s will? Truly a worm.”
Hwareuk-.
Flames bloomed from Manus’ fingertips.
Chesthip looked at it and screamed.
Why did the professor show such a smile only to Manus?
Why did Professor Kai’Sa make him do so much?
Why, why did he have to end his life here?
An endless sense of despair, futility, and regret flooded his mind.
“The professor asked me to edit the thesis. There were several notes attached. What kind of knowledge should I pass on to you, and how should I continue my own progress… … Something like that was written.”
“ah… … .”
Something transparent shone in the corners of his eyes.
Manus stared blankly at them, then dropped the fire he was holding.
“In the end, you are just a worm that has let everyone down.”
So, forget it from everyone.
That would be a good direction for those who are hurt.
“Ah, ah, ah, ah-.”
Chesthip was excited.
He didn’t feel any pain, but he was clearly aware that his life force was fading away.
When the flames that consume the body consume everything, so too will the soul.
It was so unfair and I regretted it so much.
He hated himself for ruining everything because of a moment of greed.
I hated everything that made this situation happen.
And I felt sorry for myself for not trusting the professor who believed in me and tried to give everything to me.
“The only thing that can fill the void inside is a sincere conversation with others. Have you ever received sincere counseling from a professor?”
“… … .”
The assistant’s body, which had been agitated, became quiet.
I didn’t care how he was feeling now, or whether he was dead or alive.
Manus only cleared the obstruction, weakening the enemy’s strength.
“… … Do not believe.”
Assistant Chesthip spoke in a whisper, but Manus ignored him.
The rotting flesh disappeared into the flames, and the plants that stood in his way disappeared.
At the same time, Orca’s necklace absorbed Chesthip’s soul.
‘Are you eight now? It’s faster than I thought.’
However, from now on, it will become increasingly difficult to obtain.
These are rare arcanas, so you won’t be able to get them until District 5.
As if to cut off his thoughts, he heard the cries of demons.
Sounds that could not be heard from inside awakened his awareness.
Indeed, Andrea was certainly one of the few strategists.
It was a trick like this, it was expected enough.
A sabotage operation to prevent entry into the stem.
“That’s the end of it, so what are you planning to do next?”
Did the two apostles hear what he muttered to himself?
If you’ve heard of it, you’ll have to roll your head.
If you can’t do that, you’ll disappear in vain in front of overwhelming power.
Don’t fall out-.
he made magic
I was thinking of telling my colleagues who were worried, and who are still worried.
That Caesar Manus is a greater person than I thought, and that his strength is at an even greater level.
Manus’s magic shot out as if to shake off his worries.
