Strange means of a rare grade job[5]
[Ace POV],
"Origin Ability: Materialize"
'Origin ability?' I thought when I heard the strange term that came out of the oil puppeteer's mouth, but before I could think any further, the image of the eastern-looking dragon on the scroll shook a little as it emerged from the scroll exactly like how the flying figures emerged from the scroll before, but the size it came out with was far exaggerated than the flying figures.
As I looked at the gigantic figure that was emerging from the scroll at a rapid pace and was gradually increasing in size, I immediately stopped charging and jumped further back from the oil puppeteer as I used one of the level-ups I had accumulated before to level up to level 27 to improve my physique, and combined with Emma spells on me that were still active, the increase in strength was substantial.
I didn't say anything at all after hearing the oil puppeteer's words and seeing the figure of the eastern-looking dragon.
All of this happened in an instant, and the figure of the eastern-looking black-colored dragon had entirely emerged from the scroll, roaring loudly.
"ROAR!!!!!!!"
As I attempted to ignore the ringing in my ears from hearing the roar of the dragon-like figure, I looked it up in the primordial chronicle.
[Rank 1 Materialized oil Puppet Level 29],
When I saw this, I immediately used my remaining accumulated level up to level 28 as I looked deeply at the figure in front of me, trying to figure out how the materialized in its name made it different from the other oil puppets, but I was not given enough time to even begin thinking about it when the hands of the oil puppeteer suddenly moved as the gigantic oil puppet in front of me charged at me with his head the size of a truck heading towards me.
Seeing this, I cleared my mind as I repositioned my posture with the flame-coated staff in my hand and swung it just as the oil puppet's head was about to strike me. But the expected effect did not occur.
What happened was that I was pushed back a few meters by the sounds of metals clashing violently against each other.
It wasn't until this happened that I realized why the word materialized was associated with the oil puppet when I checked its name in the primordial chronicle.
In the face of this oil puppet that appeared to have materialized into the real thing with its features despite being made of some liquid which was likely oil given its name, the previous weakness I discovered about oil puppets that I encountered before became obsolete.
When confronted with a solidified liquid puppet with skin as hard as the staff in my hand, the weakness of before has been rendered useless to know if in front of this particular oil puppet.
As this thought passed through my mind, the oil puppet dragged its long body on the ground and continued to attack me with its tail, while the sounds of metal clashing rang out in my surroundings.
As the environment around us deteriorated, I became aware of the importance of having a job.
Even if I can compete with weaker rank 1 species right now, there will come a time when I won't be able to.
After all, in comparison to those who have a job, I am plain and unremarkable. Even a low-level job like Sir Roland's swordsman made me to think before acting.
As I considered these things, I dodged the tail attack sent to me by the oil puppet and managed to attack with the tip of my staff blade on the body of the puppet and I was successful in injuring the oil puppet's steel-like body as black liquid began to flow out of the place I attacked but before I could attack the same place again, the wound had already healed.
Seeing this, I was able to witness the powers of this origin ability, but I was unable to contemplate its wonders because the oil dragon-like puppet separated itself from me by raising its head and turning to face me while opening its mouth.
When I saw this, I didn't dare to find out what was going to come out of its mouth, so I rolled on the ground to another location as soon as I saw the oil puppet shoot some kind of black liquid from its mouth while I was rolling.
After successfully dodging whatever it was that came out of the oil puppet's mouth, I immediately stood up and turned to look at where I was previously, where I saw a massive hole that was still melting.
Seeing this, I didn't have to think long to figure out what would happen if I was hit.
Thinking about this, I turned to the oil puppeteer, who was waving his hands in the air like he was controlling something and blood pouring out of his mouth like a wave, and thought that if he could create something like this with an injury like that, how strong would he be if his injuries had healed?
I stared at the two figures in front of me, the oil puppeteer and the oil puppet, as I considered how to alleviate my current predicament.
But before I could think any further, I heard another loud sound in the cemetery and, without even looking at what it was, I knew who made it as both the oil puppeteer and I had a brief moment of peace and turned to look at Emma who was slowly making her way forward to me as the area she was previously in was surrounded by black liquid.
Seeing that Emma had dealt with his puppets, the oil puppeteer's bloody face turned uglier as he stared at us coldly, and the dragon-like puppet attacked us as the final battle finally began.
