Chapter 110: Aqua's Growth!

-----

In a split of a second, Ozgeth's army fell into a giant underground trap, and a second later, he had one of Veronica's Javelins deeply encrusted into his giant eyeball-like body, the pain was incommensurable, filling his entire consciousness.

"G-GYAAAA! W-What is this?! What with that… speed?!"

The spear did not penetrate his body entirely, stopping right before crushing his brain.

With all the monstrous strength and magic it could muster, it flew high above and entangled the spear with his tentacles, slowly taking it away while agonizingly crying in pain.

Barriers made out of Wind and Water Attribute Magic appeared, protecting his body from more of Veronica's projectile javelins, however, most of them broke apart, but for the most time it helped in changing the javelin's trajectory so he could barely evade them.

"Gnngh…! Gnnnhhh! Gah!"

The spear was finally out of his iris as Ozgeth tried to gasp for air… he was not used to pain; his vision was incredibly blurred, and he could only use his special senses to feel the battlefield.

He felt as his weakling siblings were being massacred by Veronica while he was healing himself with the 'Rapid Healing' skill, the gaping and bloody hole on his eyeball body slowly closed.

Ozgeth was finally able to glance at the battlefield as his vision came to him.

"Grryyaa!"

Veronica jumped with immense agility despite being completely made out of a heavy set of armor, shaping her gloves as long metallic claws and then coating them with her shadow soul, she began to slash off the Gazers that tried to blast her away with their eye lasers.

"Abyssal Soul Claws! Slashing Shadows! Javelin Bullet!"

Her entire body moved as if it were made out of liquid metal, shaping, and creating another pair of arms which she used to unleash powerful slashing attacks while her other pair of arms launched javelins at immense speed like bullets.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

The inexperienced Gazers tried to evade in midair, creating magic barriers that were easily penetrated by Veronica's immense offense strength. In a few minutes, she had three Gazers sliced into pieces on the floor, like bloody soups of minced flesh.

Red lasers fired from the Gazers that maintained a distance from her were blocked by her fifth arm, which surged like a liquid metal tentacle that wielded a large and dark green shield from within her back, at this very moment Veronica didn't even resemble a Living Armor…

However, as they gathered together, the lasers became stronger, quickly melting down her shield, which only made her create another one with her 'Armory' skill.

Although they had received some information about Veronica's capabilities from Oggoth, it was not to such an extent, Ozgeth and the surviving Gazers were in complete disbelief.

Suddenly, a mass of blue slime appeared from behind Ozgeth, who had just recovered from the pain and the injury and was considering running away.

"Eh?!"

"Guuubo!"

Aqua emerged from underground, using the Wind Attribute Spirit Magic 'Floating Wind' thanks to Sylphid, her bonded spirit, she flew for a few seconds in the air, reaching Ozgeth and firing countless pressurized water bullets that left dozens of bloody holes on its spherical body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"G-Gyaagh…! Y-You! Hellish Ring!" roared Ozgeth as he flew away while conjuring a Fire Attribute Magic spell… of course, because he was just born, his magic was of level 1.

Flash!

The level 1 fire attribute spell was despite being low leveled, quite strong, this was due to Ozgeth's high magic and mana stat as a Rank 6 monster.

However, Aqua's primary element was water.

"Gubobobo! Waterfall Barrier!"

Aqua used her Water Attribute spell, 'Waterfall Barrier', creating a barrier of flowing water that blocked the wing of the hellish blaze made by Ozgeth, she then approached Ozgeth with more pressurized water bullets from the sides, which Ozgeth barely dodged, while many of them hit his body.

Because he had a strong regeneration, the wounds would recover quite quickly but his Health Points would keep lowering at a fast pace as his regeneration could not really keep up with Aqua's fast-paced combat.

Even more when his terrain advantage, which was floating in the air, was completely negated by Aqua who was floating the same as him.

Moving like a floating river of water through the sky, Aqua flew with immense speed, resembling a lance and releasing needle-shaped projectiles from her entire body.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

"Ngh! W-What with this monster… is it a Rank 6 as well?!" thought Ozgeth while creating Wind Attribute Barriers of thunder and wind, which blocked the bullets with ease.

However, Aqua was already closing in, shaping her body like sharp claws, she began to unleash 'Unarmed Fighting Techniques' against Ozgeth's indiscriminately.

"Water Claw! Water Punch! Water Barrageeee!"

With the cute voice of a young little girl, Aqua fiercely began to smash Ozgeth's magical barriers, which were still at the end, of level 1.

"Nghh…! W-Wait!"

"Rocket Punch!"

Aqua's body shaped themselves as giant fists that detached from her body and flew like rocket punches seen in Earth's fiction, smashing Ozgeth's spherical body with immense strength.

Bang!

"UUGYAA!"

What made Ozgeth cry in pain was not the strong, hammer-like impact, but that when the Rocket Punches exploded, they made hundreds of thin and sharp water needles that penetrated his flesh with the force of the rocket punch. The needles even reached his brain, causing severe pain that even made his mind go numb as his nerves began to malfunction, filling him with a momentary paralysis.

"Uggh… Uugaaahhh…! W-Wait! Wait! W-We can become friends, allies… You do not… have to kill me, you know?! Y-You stupid floating slime!" roared Ozgeth, asking for forgiveness while charging an attack and unleashing into Aqua, a powerful eye laser flew towards her.

Flash!

"Sylphid!" said Aqua, calling on a large dark cloud with a single eye that appeared out of thin air.

"Foo!"

As if merely releasing a bit of air, Sylphid created a barrier of lightning that took upon the red laser and reflected it to the skies!

Flash!

"W-What?! How can a mere slime use such advanced magic!?" roared Ozgeth in frustration, as he felt that his regeneration became weaker, his wounds couldn't regenerate as fast as before!

"That's because mama Veronica and daddy Shade taught us! Any light can be reflected, even the one of your eye, gubooo!"

"Tsk! I still have some Mana… if I want to escape from here, I'll have to use my trump card!" said Ozgeth as he flew around while evading Aqua's pursuit.

"Rocket Punch! Water Punch! Water Needles!"

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Ozgeth evaded most and received many of the attacks as well, but then, he managed to get in a good angle!

"Evil Eye of Paralysis!"

"Guu…?!"
