Chapter 154 154: Calm!

Power stones☺�☺�☺�☺�

-----

Veronica had only witnessed two other members of her party, Elizabeth and Thaddeus, use their magical abilities, while Reginald's powers appeared to be something different altogether, not requiring any incantations or traditional magic.

"Ugh... It is important that I pay attention. In the face of such an unpredictability opponent, I cannot allow myself to lose my concentration." Veronica's frustration was palpable as she muttered to herself in the midst of battle.

She knew that she could not afford to lose her concentration while fighting an unpredictable opponent like Orcus. His ability to manipulate shadows added a unique element of surprise to his attacks, making him a formidable foe.

Veronica thought she had landed a solid blow when she struck at Orcus's left arm with her scythe. But to her surprise, Orcus used his shadow manipulation magic to detach the limb from his body, avoiding any significant damage. It was an ingenious move that highlighted his skill and experience in combat.

To cause lasting damage to Orcus, Veronica would have to find a way to strike quickly and effectively, before he could respond with his shadow manipulation.

She knew that winning this fight would require all of her concentration and skill, and she was determined to emerge victorious.

Veronica exerted herself to the fullest, determined to gain the upper hand in her battle against Orcus.

However, her every attempt to strike him with her scythe was met with a counterattack from Orcus's own fleshy weapons.

Even when she thought she had finally inflicted lasting damage, Orcus's shadow manipulation abilities proved to be formidable, as he promptly restored his injuries.

Despite the many obstacles she faced, Veronica refused to let up in her assault, hacking and slashing at Orcus with her scythe.

And, as the fight wore on, it seemed that her relentless barrage was taking a toll on the demon, depriving him of any chance to take the initiative.

With every passing moment, Veronica's confidence grew as she saw that Orcus was on the defensive, his every move a reaction to her own.

And although he was capable of fighting back, she remained undeterred, convinced that victory was within her grasp if she could only maintain her focus and continue to press her advantage.

Veronica's expression betrayed a hint of satisfaction when she saw the anguish on Orcus's face as a result of his shadow manipulation.

As she watched him contort his body into strange positions, she couldn't help but wince in sympathy, knowing the tremendous pain that must accompany such movements.

Despite this, Veronica did not feel any remorse for Orcus. She understood that the use of such a powerful spell came at a great cost, and in this case, the cost was Orcus's agony.

In fact, Veronica felt even more emboldened to press her attack after witnessing his suffering, driving the point of her scythe deep into Orcus's chest with a forceful thrust.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Despite the agony he must have been experiencing, Orcus did not show any signs of giving up or backing down. If anything, his determination seemed to be growing stronger as the fight wore on.

Veronica's scythe swiftly sliced through Orcus's armor, piercing his flesh and causing a gaping hole to form in his chest.

Despite the pain, Orcus manipulated his shadow to create a hole in his chest exactly where Veronica's scythe point had penetrated.

It was clear that manipulating his shadow to affect external objects like clothes was beyond his capability, and he could only manipulate his own shadow. However, Orcus was writhing in agony as he forced his body to create the hole, and the pain was evident on his face.

Although the hole in his chest was already painful enough, Orcus suffered further when Veronica's scythe made a small incision in his chest before he retreated.

The pain was unbearable, and Orcus was unable to make the hole in his chest any larger. The battle had taken a toll on both fighters, and it was evident that Veronica was gaining the upper hand.

"Success! I was successful in inflicting some pain on him, even if it was only slight." Veronica allowed herself a moment of triumph as she observed the slight pain on Orcus's face.

She felt a sense of satisfaction that she was able to penetrate his defenses, even if it was just a small incision. She then decided to add more pressure to Orcus by conjuring a short dagger and throwing it at him.

"Hold on just a second..." As she did this, she noticed something strange about the way Orcus was walking, but quickly dismissed the thought. She did not see any outward signs of illness or disability, so she chose to ignore the idea.

pαndα`noνɐ1~сoМ "It would appear that your black magic is not impregnable since you give off the impression that this is the case. Perhaps I-... Guah!" Veronica then boasted that Orcus's black magic was not impenetrable, which gave her the impression that she could defeat him.

However, her words were cut short when she suddenly felt a searing pain in her chest. It was caused by a fleshy and bony spear that had pierced through her armor and emerged from the front of her chest. The wound was large and deep, and it caused Veronica to cry out in agony.

Despite the pain, Veronica managed to remain conscious and alert. She quickly realized that she had underestimated Orcus and his abilities.

His shadow manipulation skills were far more advanced than she had thought, and he was able to create a weapon out of his own body to catch her off guard.
