Chapter 405: Using Portals to Fight
The twelve-winged archangel is difficult to fight. He was just faster than before, but that"s enough to cause me trouble.
Of course I can still react fast enough to dodge or block his attack, but if the battle continues for a long time, I will lose.
He can heal himself, but when my attack gave him some damage, he let the other angels to heal him instead. Which mean he still has a lot of mana to use.
And then, Graham suddenly gets some distance from me. And he"s aiming his shining gold spear at me.
Wait, shining?
Oh, no! It"s a light beam from his light magic!
I pulled my spear back, and in a thrusting stance, I waited for him to release the beam.
"Light Beam!" Graham shouted the name of his magic.
I focused my sight on him, so when he makes a sudden movement, I can react. Meanwhile, the beam is going straight at me, as I thrusted my Aura to my spear and pierced it at the magic.
Not just Graham, all the angels watching are surprised seeing that the powerful beam that Graham unleashed didn"t hurt me at all. And in fact, my spear pierced through the beam. And the force of the spear continues flying toward Graham, and injured his body.
"Ugh! Heal me!"
Well, that"s what happened each time he got injured. It"s annoying that I have to continue fighting endlessly.
I can try using air magic to calm him down with calming gas, but for now, I need to fight him normally first. I want to see how strong I am now against a powerful enemy. After fighting that artificial master level mage, I know that just being strong alone in physical strength, is not enough.
"How did you do that? That was not magic, wasn"t it?" Graham asked.
As expected, he and the angels here don"t know about Aura. Maybe the only thing they know about human is that they use magic, or they are summoner. Let"s ask him right away.
"Before we continue our fight, I have a question to ask you. What do you angels know about us humans?" I asked.
"That"s right. You should have worshipped us thinking that we are the envoy of G.o.d. But why do you act like that and be hostile toward us?"
"Are you seriously asking me that? I wasn"t hostile at you at all! I was extremely disappointed by your stupidity! I was about to leave, when it was you angels who prevented me from leaving!"
"I guess the only way to solve this is if one of us lose."
"You"re a total idiot!"
Do angels never care about other people"s opinions beside their own?
I guess it"s time to use Victoria"s ability to the fullest. Combined with my summoning magic.
I had Victoria made a lot of Blobbies, and threw them all around me. Some of them are on the ground, and some I made to have wings on it and float stationary without moving at all. Unless I had Victoria made them move.
"What"s this? Black Slimes? You think you can defeat me with the help of these little weaklings?" Graham asked.
"Yes. With this, my chance of victory increased by a lot. Probably close to a hundred percent already. Let"s continue our fight, shall we?"
Graham charged forward at me again. But when he got close, I know that he will change direction. So, what if I make it so it was too close for him to change direction?
As he pa.s.sed a floating Blobby, I opened a portal in front of him, which connected to in front of me. The distance suddenly changed. Graham who was supposed to still have enough leeway to maneuver and change direction, suddenly got greeted by the blade of my spear.
"What the—"
Graham quickly flew back with the help of his wings, but I managed to graze his cheek with my spear.
"Oh, you reacted faster than I thought. I thought you are just fast, but with slow reflexes. I guess I was wrong," I said.
My new skill, since my summoning level has increased and my mana quant.i.ty also improved because of it, is to use portal when I am fighting with the enemy. This way, anywhere I attack, as long as I opened the portal, I can reach the enemy.
If I had thought of this when I fought the artificial master level mage, I could defeat her on my own. Maybe.
Again, I pulled back Reizpear, and opened another portal directly in front of Graham. Thanks to his previous charge, there"s a Blobby attached to him right now. It will be easy since I can use portals to connect the two of us.
I thrusted Reizpear into the portal again, and Graham flew back to avoid my spear. Then I pulled Reizpear quickly, and close the portal, and open it again toward another Blobby. This time, it"s not the Blobby attached to his front. But the Blobby on his back. Which mean my attack will come from his back.
The blade of Reizpear stabbed him from the back. But it was not fatal as I didn"t hit his vital organ.
"Ugh! Everyone, get him again!"
I guess even after increasing the number of his wings, and became so much faster, he still can"t win against me. Well, that"s fine. I thought of this skill while thinking of using it against multiple enemies as well.
This time, I opened a portal one by one, while running around. Since I can only open a portal from me to the monster I made a contract with, or her clones, I need to made some distance between one portal to the next. And the portal I opened can"t move as well. So, this way, I opened a path to anywhere within this area.
I still remember of course to where each portal is connected. Which mean, I have the advantage of the terrain now. If only I could have as good memory in this as remembering names…
When an angel about to attack me, I entered a portal and attacked different angel. Some angels tried to enter the same portal that I entered, but I close it before they entered.
If I close it when they are in the middle of the portal, nothing happened. Just the separated part will return back to normal. But the place they go to will be the place with most of their body parts intact. Which mean if it"s just a head, that head will disappear and rejoin with the rest of his body.
If only I could split their body when I close the portal, I would have another powerful skill. Unfortunately, the portal doesn"t work that way.
Though it"s good to know.
That"s why I closed the portal before the angels entered so I can get some distance from them.
The fight continues for another hour, and I still maintained the portals. Though I feel a little tired now. I guess I will close the portals now.
"Hah! Are you done with those things?" Graham asked.
"Yeah. I think that I don"t need to use it anymore. Anyway, does no one feel tired after fighting me for so long? And to think that some of you who got their bones broken are still coming back again and again to fight me. Are you all m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.ts?" I provoked the angels.
"I am! How did you know?"
Someone actually admitted it. And he was the angel who was enjoying himself while being crushed by the stupid angels who attacked me all at once before. He was the first angel I knocked out.
"No wonder you are persistent in fighting me. You just want to feel pain," I said.
"You are ri—hmpf!"
Before he could finish his sentence, another angel approached him and blocked his mouth.
"No! Because we know if we keep this up, we will be able to win sooner or later!" Graham said.
No, that"s impossible. After all, for a while already, I already noticed Spot is already here. Right above our heads. He"s watching us while camouflaging himself so he won"t get found out. I guess he feels disappointed to see that the angels are much weaker than he had thought.
If I asked him to come, he could defeat everyone easily. Maybe Graham will give him a bit trouble, but not to the point that Spot will lose.
I can"t ask Spot to join, but I can ask someone else. It"s Shelia.
She will fight the angels and see for herself how strong the angels are. Though I doubt she will lose. I think she"s about as strong as Graham when he only has six wings.
Well, let"s call her.
I used my normal summoning magic and teleported Shelia here in an instant. She was confused for a bit, and realized what"s going on as she prepares her fighting stance.
"Shelia, meet the angels. They were not that strong, so please don"t accidentally kill them," I said to Shelia, who is looking around at the angels… weirdly.
"Something is wrong with the angels," Shelia said.
When I look around, I see that the angels are… separated between two types. The female angels who are looking at Shelia with interest, and the male angels, including Graham, who is covering their eyes with their hands. Though they can still see through the gaps between their fingers.
"I-indecent! Y-you! How could you wear something like that around!? T-that"s exposing your skin too much! You can"t show other people except your mating partner too much skin!" Graham shouted while pointing at Shelia.
What crossed my mind after seeing that was… an easy victory. I should have brought Shelia here sooner.
