Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Simultaneously being able to summon both Karuna and Karen was a breaking point for Seol.

Now, he could summon two Legendary-rank summons, which also have unique skills that apply when summoned together, at the same time.

And now, there were two reasons why his combat capabilities increased massively.

First, obviously, was the change in Karuna.

Karunas overall ability improved massively after rising to Legendary-rank from Heroic-rank. Among the countless messages that popped up when Seol summoned Karuna were messages about his newly unlocked skills.

Second, the Twin Knights had their stats increase due to the effects of Connected Soul. In fact, their stats were doubled. Karen, already Seol's strongest summon, not only doubled in strength but also enhanced Karuna, who matched her in power, making him even stronger in the process.

Seol couldnt lose now.

However, Magra, who didnt know their strengths, laughed.

Hahaha In the end, they are just shadows. Sure, confidence is a key to becoming brave, however

Flap!

Magra took off his robes and tossed them aside.

Beneath his robes was a thin, yet sturdy physique.

Hmph!

Unsheathe!

Unsheathe!

It was Seols first time seeing such weapons.

A symmetrical blade attached to the end of the swords handle. It was closer to a spear than a sword, but more interestingly, there were two of them.

Magra held onto his strange weapons tightly.

I applaud your bravado, but its futile before me, Magra.

Flaaaaare!

Flames engulfed Magras body and sword.

[Magra, the Scorching, used Scorching Hell.]

[All living creatures within the attack range suffer fire damage.]

Seol looked at Magras information with his Eyes of Perception.

[[Magra, the Scorching]

Rank: Legendary

Estimated Level: 25~35

Magra, the Scorching, is a member of the Council of Elders in the Troll Tribe Alliance.

It would not be an overstatement to say that the reason the Sulfur Skull Tribe became such a massive tribe, despite its barren land, was because the skilled Magra was a part of their previous generation.

Born with the energy of fire, Magra left a deep mark in the world around him and is revered as a legend amongst trolls.

Basic Skills: [Unknown 2], [Scorching Hell 1], [Unknown 1], [Unknown 3], [Unknown 2], [Unknown 2], [Unknown 3], [Unknown 1], [Unknown 1], [Unknown 2], [Unknown 3], [Unknown 1], [Unknown 4]

Unique Skills: [Unknown 2], [Unknown 3]]

It was Seols first Legendary-rank enemy.

Though Seol wasnt shocked by Magras rank as he expected him to be this strong, he still clicked his tongue.

Are these the limits of Eyes of Perception?

Even though Eyes of Perception may seem like an all-powerful artifact, it was impossible to see information about an enemy who was much higher-level than Seol.

Not to mention the fact that Seol hadnt even fully awakened it yet.

Seol thought it was a shame that he couldn't read all of his opponents skills, but he didnt think he would lose because of it.

As long as I have Karuna and Karen, I can win!

Step.

Step.

Karen and Karuna inched toward Magra.

Even so, Karen seemed more excited than anything and tried talking to Karuna.

Karuna, you know

Focus on the battle, Karen.

Im always focused, alright? More importantly, its about us. Do you remember how long its been since we last fought together?

...Before Montra fell.

Hahaha! Yeah, exactly! Then Why dont we see if your skills have rusted?

Immediately after, Magras weapon crashed with their swords.

Claaaaaang!

Creak!

Magras weapon creaked as it struggled with Karens ordinary sword on one side and Karunas Breath on the other.

Creak

Creak!

Magra looked shocked after their first move. It was because he realized how strong they actually were.

Th-this strength?! Wh-what are you?

This question was not for Karen and Karuna but for Seol. He was standing in the back with his arms crossed, observing their battle.

An unlucky bastard, said Seol, coolly.

Clang!

Karen swung her sword diagonally, and Magra tried his best to quickly block it.

Hrgh!

Kick!

Karunas kick landed perfectly during the opening Karen made.

The kick lifted Magras body into the sky. It seemed like even Karunas kicks carried a lot of weight behind them now.

Frsss

Magra somersaulted backward from the impact and quickly took a stance.

Haha Where did monsters like these come from?

Magra looked worried.

And Seol, seeing that, was confident in his victory.

I won.

Seols plan was to initially prevent Zando from moving, followed by splitting into two parties. The first party would free the prisoners, while the other party used the Sacred Fire to receive the Fires Grace and summon both Karen and Karuna.

Even though their objective was clear, the process leading up to it was dangerous due to the rush caused by the time constraints.

If it were someone else, just receiving the Fire's Graceno, they might not even have an offering prepared to receive it. Still, even if, by some chance, they managed to receive it, facing Magra would still be beyond their capabilities.

But Seol was different.

The path that Seol had taken so far

I told you, we were taking things slowly, said Karen.

Magras expression changed again.

This is worrying. It makes me worry if I will be able to see tomorrow, embellished Magra.

Magra then also unleashed more energy.

[Magra used Sulfur Shamanic Spell: Indiscriminate Fire.]

[Indiscriminately ignite both allies and enemies around you and increase your Strength and Dexterity by 50.]

FWOOOOOSH!

Buuuurn

Everything around Magra started melting. However, he wasnt just radiating heat. His speed and strength had also definitely increased.

Rumble Rumble!

Claaaang!

Another clash.

Krgh

Spurt!

Blood spilled from Magras arms, but he quickly flicked his body to kick Karuna.

Kick!

However, thanks to his sturdy armor, Karuna absorbed the blow and was only pushed back.

Skid

Thud!

Karuna somersaulted a couple of times before standing up in position.

Fwooosh!

Magras sword, no, his spear, was flying toward Karuna.

Hmph! Too obvious!

As Karuna was regaining balance, Karen quickly deflected Magras sword upward.

Kang!

Thankfully, the sword was repelled. However, it returned right to him.

Clang! Clang!

Karen was slowly speeding up.

CLAAAAAANG!

Krgh!

Hahaha! How fun! Its been so long since I fought like this!

You monsters

Fwirl!

She relentlessly attacked, throwing fire and sword strikes at Magra.

Fwoooooosh!

Flaaare!

Krgh

CLAAAAAAANG!

Thud!

Magra tried his best to push her back as she rained down attacks from all directions, but he only continued to get more and more bloodied.

Hmph!

As Karuna came to attack as well, Magra dashed behind.

Magra, a Legendary-rank monster, couldnt even land a proper attack and continued getting pushed back.

Gasp Gasp I guess Im old, too, now. Where are they from?

Way over Ah, I guess you wont understand even if I told you. Its before you were born.

Haha How ridiculous. Do you even know how long Ive lived?

Still, it wouldnt compare to us.

Magra would not have understood even if they told him.

After all, Montra was a fallen kingdom that had disappeared long, long ago.

Magra licked the blood which dripped down from his wound.

Im sure you already know this, but this is an unlosable battle for us, said Magra.

What are you talking about?

Zando is going to return the altar to its original state soon. And once he does, he and I will toss you into the lava. Youve done well to push me this far, but your plans have gone awry the moment I bought this much time. Also, what will you do about the reinforcements coming to the altar? You cannot escape.

Seol snorted.

I cant believe you made me worry for a second.

...Why are you laughing?

Because all I have to do is destroy the altar. In the first place, this fight was unloseable for us the moment I reached the Sacred Fire.

Do you think Id fall for your bluff

Youll see.

Karunas energy violently increased once more.

[Karuna has entered the 2nd Stage of Moonlight Surge, Half Moon.]

Glooooooow!

Even though he was still in his 2nd Stage, Karuna glowed as much as he did when he entered his 3rd Stage before he met Karen. That was more than enough for Seol to see how much he had grown.

Magras pupils shook slightly. Still, he did his best to hide it.

Its useless! Soon

Karuna.

Yes, Master?

Show him.

[Karuna has entered the 3rd Stage of Moonlight Surge, Full Moon.]

GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

A gargantuan amount of power expanded out from Karuna. It was like the moon had fallen to the earth.

Magra trembled before him.

Oh my god

He despaired.

The unluckiest person at the Fire Altar was no longer Seol. It was him.
