CH 107

We knew already that the webbing spat out by the Arachne wasn’t the slightest bit effective against fire.

So the key of this battle was Lucia’s MP.

After she had dropped all the way to nothing, she had managed to garner some back now. It should be at around 40 now. No, she used 5 points to cast the fireball, so it should be at around 35 right now.

We needed to use the MP as effectively as possible. I needed to push Lucia hard until her body reached its limit.

“I’m going up, Senpai!”

Tamaki charged into the blazing fire. It looked dangerous, but in the battle against the legendary Arachne, inside the fire was the safest place.

Of course, that was all under the condition that I had given her a resistance to fire.

Lucia’s body staggered. I gripped the silver-haired girl’s shoulder, supporting her as she nearly collapsed to the ground.

“I’m so…sorry.”

Sweat flowed down Lucia’s face like a waterfall. Even after resting earlier, using magic once again was enough to tire her out like this.

Perhaps her body was much weaker than us?

Was it because she was level 14? Or was it because her personal level had jumped up so quickly? Or was it that she was from another world?

I didn’t know the reason. What was sure was that she was devastatingly weak right now.

I hated the idea that “as long as you’re persistent, you can get anything done.” If she was so weak, we should change our plans accordingly.

So I needed to draw out a level that was higher than her limit. No matter what, if we didn’t do that we wouldn’t win the battle.

“Senpai, I’ll go and support Tamaki…”

“No, Arisu. Wait here. Mia!”

“Got it. I’ll be right back.”

Going after Tamaki, Mia charged into the smoky battlefield.

This time it was Mia’s turn to support Tamaki. Her responsibility was to try her best to seal the legendary Arachne’s movements.

The Arachne soldiers discovered us flying above and let loose a gallery of arrows at us. Standing behind me, Arisu used the handle of her spear to sweep aside the arrows.

Arisu became Lucia and my shield, using her spear to keep bouncing away arrows.

I keep feeling that her strength has surpassed the generals in the manga version of “Records of the Three Kingdoms”. How strong is her active vision?!

But all of this could be explained away with “because it’s part of her skill set”.

“Lucia, can you see anything in the area? Don’t let the soldiers get close to the legendary Arachne. In the direction I’m pointing…”

“Yes, I can still…Fire fountain.”

As if erecting a barrier between the Arachne soldiers and the legendary Arachne, a wall built from flames shot up from the ground.

This was the level 6 “Fire fountain”. In her current state, Lucia could only maintain the fire wall for about three and a half minutes. That was the only time we had to settle our battle with the legendary Arachne.
