Currently, an intense stare-off is going on between a giant humanoid statue sitting on a throne and a blue-haired boy with wings and a crown made up of water. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
(William you be sure you don't need any help?) Agni asked inside Williams head, recognising the stone statue as a major threat.
(Even if you can't use Agni because of the location, why not do a dual spirit dive with me and Wiz?) Sera asked.
'Yeah, I don't want to overreact and end up revealing more than necessary, and besides, I'm fairly certain I can win by just using Wiz.
'Isn't that right, Wiz? '
(Of course it is; I'm the strongest spirit you have, after all.) Wiz replied arrogantly. Discover magic on m_v_l_e_m_p_y_r
William almost laughed upon hearing her comment; he expected his other spirits to disagree with her, especially Agni, who liked to constantly banter with her inside his head.
But strangely, no one tried to refute Wiz.
'Are you guys really not going to try to argue with her?' William asked Agni and Sera.
(Yeah, pretty much she's right after all.) Sera replied.
(I hate to admit it, but she's right), Agni said in defeat.
William was shocked to hear this. He never knew that there was a hierarchy difference amongst his spirits, but even more so was he surprised by the usually fiery-tempered and competitive Agni calling Wiz stronger than himself.
(William, stop zoning out; the statue is standing up.) Wiz warned him.
'Ah, I did it again' With that thought, William left the previous conversation he was having as a topic for later and moved his attention towards the monster he was supposed to fight.
The demonic-looking humanoid statue finally stood up from its throne, recognising William as a threat.
A giant sword made of stone appeared in the hands of the statue.
The statue raised its arms to try and slash William, but before it could do that, William used.
(Water Storm)
A storm of water escaped his hand and collided with the statue, knocking it off balance and breaking its stance.
With a mental command, the storm of water dropped in temperature and froze the statue momentarily.
Instead of trying to break the ice, the statue once again fired lasers from its eyes towards William.
'If I dodge it, my allies will get hit instead'
With a raise of his hand, he used the (water wall) spell and created a thick wall of water to stop the laser.
~Sizzle~
The laser was unable to get through despite its best efforts, but by using the opportunity it created, the statue broke through the ice, trapping it, and rushed at William to crush him under it.
~Rumble~
~Rumble~
The whole room trembled as the statue charged at William, who started flying using the wings on his back to avoid getting crushed.
The statue swung its sword at William once he was close enough, but William easily dodged it by manoeuvring in the air.
~BAMM!! ~
The stone sword crashed on the ground, unable to hit its target, and put the statue in an awkward position to block or move for a moment.
Using this opportunity, William activated (Lance of Water) .
A massive lance of condensed and sharp water formed behind William and fired at the statue.
~Pierce~
The lance pierced the statue in the abdomen area and flew straight through it, creating a clean hole in that area.
But William wasn't given a chance to rejoice at being able to damage the statue as a fist made up of rocks emerged from the ground and charged at William.
~Ting~
Williams [Danger Sense] warned him of the upcoming attack in the nick of time, allowing him to create a thick barrier of water to defend himself in the last second.
~BAMMMM!! ~
The fist of rock sent William flying and made him crash into a wall.
"John noo!!!" Jasmine cried out, her concern evident on her face.
"John!!! " Raya yelled as she tried to free herself from the strings binding her and the rest of her allies, only to fail and give up.
Dust and rubble arose as William limped out of the massive crater formed on the wall from his crash.
"Cough"
"Cough"
William coughed as blood came out of his mouth.
'Fuck that hurts'
Thankfully, his [Danger Sense] activated in the last moment and allowed him to create a shield of water, or else he probably would have died from the attack.
His left arm was broken, and he had probably also broken one or two other bones from that attack.
His body hurt, but by this point, he was already used to this level of pain. The more concerning thing was that the statue could use magic.
Monsters weren't supposed to use magic.
Magic was supposed to be the privilege of humans and other sentient races.
But despite this, a few exceptions always existed, and such monsters were called unique monsters.
Magic was something that required intelligence to be used—something monsters weren't supposed to have.
They were supposed to live purely based on their beastly instincts, but unique monsters broke that basic rule of nature. What this means is that.
'This statue possesses intelligence,' William thought as he stared at the statue.
Williams wounds were already healing thanks to him having used his life bomb, but to his horror, the previously stoic statue displayed a wide demonic smile that could scare away the coldest hearts.
And under Williams gaze, the giant wound he had created on the statue started healing.
And before long, the statue was back to normal, as if it had never gotten injured or had a part of its abdomen blown away.
'So this statue surpasses the strength of normal A ranks and is almost on par with S ranks, has magic and intelligence, and can even heal' William thought, cursing himself for being born with such a shitty flaw that was trying to kill him every chance it got.
'Fuck me'
(Only if you let me, Wiz said inside his head with zero hesitation.
'What? '
(I said, Let me control your body. I'll deal with this thing, but beware; it will hurt once you take back control.) Wiz replied.
'Pain again, huh? Is there any other way? '
(Not really. Unless you want to see your allies dying, you sadly don't have enough mastery over water spirit arts to be able to use a spell destructive enough to kill that monster, and unless you destroy it in one clean hit, it will just keep regenerating.)
'Fine whatever, I'll trust you. Let's see what you can do'
(Prepare to be surprised.)
