Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Strongest Sage, Has Learned

The Arch Serpent was fully focused on me as it came a.s.saulting with its fangs on full display .

"KISHAAAAAA!"

While parrying the fangs of Arch Serpent that rushed in while screeching, I slash on it with my sword endowed with 【Acid-Proof】, 【Mana Strike】, and 【Steel Slash】 .

Its scales were extremely hard befitting of a 『Floor Master』 but I accurately aimed at a gap and cut off one piece of its scales .

The wound is just 50 cm big . For the Arch Serpent whose whole body is bigger than 10 meter, it's just a scratch .

However, it's enough .

The attack just now wasn't intended to decrease its health, but to make the Arch Serpent recognize me as an enemy and lose its cool .

Due to its strength as a 『Floor Master』, the serpent is not used to getting injured .

Truthfully, my sword only worked on it because I concentrated my mana to hit its weakest spot which I discovered by probing into its mana flow .

I'd need 10 times that power to destroy the Arch Serpent's scales through brute force .

Even the attack I used on the demon during the interpersonal match is likely still not enough .

"KISHA!"

Arch Serpent rushed at me in anger from its wound .

While dodging that using barrier as my footholds, I constructed a magic .

An extremely short-range flame magic the Fourth Crest is good at .

It hit the Arch Serpent's weakness, the inside of its throat .

"GAAAAAAA!"

The Arch Serpent retreats in agonizing cry .

Of course, a Floor Master isn't weak enough to be defeated by this level of magic .

However, it gets me time to construct my next magic .

I take out a magic stone from Storage magic and concentrate my mana into it .

Not delicate and small amount of mana like with augment magic . The augment I could do wouldn't be able to even scratch the Arch Serpent .

It's a magic not for turning magic stone into magic item, but one for destroying the inside of the magic stone .

A magic that I have never used before because it requires a great deal of mana and magic control .

The current me needs to concentrate all of my power on this one magic .

"KISHAAAAAAA!"

I crush the magic stone in front of the coming fangs .

A huge amount of mana and magic essence overflowed from the crushed magic stone .

I forcefully control that magic and clad my sword with flame elemental enchant .

【Special Mana Enchant】 .

It's one of mystic arts for a sword-wielding magic combatant .

The Arch Serpent was about to bite me right when I completed the enchant .

I swing my sword down without trying to dodge it .

The Arch Serpent's fangs were smashed, blood spilled out of a big wound .

However, it still hasn't fallen .

"It sure is tough . . . . "

However, the Arch Serpent has suffered a huge damage, its movement becomes quite dull .

The next one should do it .

I crushed another magic stone and cut it down with the clad sword .

It's still not downed . Then once again .

--After crushing three magic stones, I managed to cut off the Arch Serpent's neck .

Soon after, the venom scattered on the ground disappeared .

Arch Serpent's venom is composed of mana from the main body, so it will disappear if the main body is killed .

That said, the after effect of the venom remains .

--For example, like this .

"Oops . "

When I put my feet down on the floor after the battle, it sunk about 30 centimeter deep along with a dull sound .

Looks like the inside of the floor has been quite dissolved .

Well, since the battle had ended, it only managed to surprise me a bit .

"Now then . What am I gonna do with this . . . . "

I'm lost in thought before the Arch Serpent's body .

I can stow it whole in Storage magic with my current mana .

However, if I do that, most of my maximum mana will be taken by Storage magic and I'd be forced to return .

Right when I was thinking of just taking some of its fangs--I recalled the merchant who bought the War Tiger I beat in my trip to Royal Capital .

I have learned from that time .

Materials of monsters that I think aren't really valuable are highly prized in the world today .

These might fetch a good price if I brought them back and sold them on the guild or some material shop around . Yep . I'm sure of it .

While thinking what I'm going to do with all the cash I'm piling up, I put the Arch Serpent's body into Storage magic, and went back to floor 10 .

The Camp magic is . . . . Yep . It seems to be working fine .
