Chương 341: Dad Said, “Defeat Everything with Magic”

The Firestorm magic the Demi Spirit had just unleashed carried the title of Salamander.

Each of these magics, without exception, reached astonishing power when cast at full strength via super-long incantation.

In the original timeline of this world, Firestorm had forcibly melted even the large shields with the "Unbreakable" property in just a few seconds. It had nearly wiped out the Loki Familia in one strike.

But in front of Renjiro…

The Ten Rings of the Human King skill could absorb already-cast magic as pure mana, converting it entirely for his own use.

And combined with the anti-magic ability from Welf—a skill that could detonate spells—Renjiro had two formidable "magic killers" at his disposal.

In short, he was essentially the arch-nemesis of any magic-wielding Demi Spirit clone.

"This guy actually absorbed the magic!"

Allen, standing behind Renjiro, along with the others, couldn't hide their surprise.

Before coming here, they had heard Lumine mention the uniqueness of the King of Magecrafts, but hearing about it was one thing—seeing it in action was entirely different.

Honestly, the ability to instantly nullify most spells while replenishing one's own mana reserves was ridiculously broken.

"No wonder he's the King of Magecrafts," Hedin muttered internally.

"Whoosh~"

As the Demi Spirit clone's wide-area annihilation magic was blocked with zero effect, the water generated by the Black Balor's surged toward them.

But…

"Sss~"

Just as when absorbing the Firestorm, Renjiro only had to slightly lower his hands. In the next instant, any toxic fluid within seven meters was instantly converted back into mana and absorbed completely.

Even the poisonous gas and steam released when the lava contacted the water weren't spared from this reverse conversion.

"Buzz~"

Black Balor, seeing its attacks useless, snapped open its massive Evil Eye, firing a deadly ray…

"CLANG~"

Still effortlessly absorbed by Renjiro.

"Haha~"

The young man smirked. "And… thanks for the treat!"

Half an hour later…

"Clack clack~"

Two golden-haired, golden-eyed figures raced along the massive arms of the Evil-Eye Fairy.

Aether and Lumine, each wielding a single-handed blade sword, slashed across the Black Balor's massive body, leaving deep trails of blood.

But with the regeneration of a floor-master-level monster, these injuries were superficial, more of a nuisance than a threat.

From above, the lethal rays scattering from the giant Evil Eye remained a massive threat.

At this moment, only Renjiro could withstand such attacks—capable of dissolving any matter—because of his Ten Rings of the Human King.

Yet, his level was the lowest among his allies at Lv.3.

Even with a temporary boost from Ryuu's skill, he couldn't maintain a Hulk-level strength state for long.

That technique was just too taxing. Too dangerous to his body!

Renjiro had no interest in fighting while relying on Barbara's healing ring and using the Seven Wounds Fist, dying by inches.

He was the King of Magecrafts, after all.

Long-range attacks were king.

Who would casually use the Ten Rings as knuckle dusters?

So, Renjiro didn't intend to get too close to the Evil-Eye Fairy unless absolutely necessary.

But within this framework…

[Harbinger of the end, the white snow. Blow with the wind before the twilight.]

Renjiro's mana-absorbing and conversion zone was a sphere with a seven-meter radius around himself.

Beyond that distance, the Ten Rings of the Human King were powerless.

So…

[Closing light, the freezing land.…]

[Blizzard, the three severe winters…]

Facing the broader toxic water generated by the Evil-Eye Fairy's Deep Sea Summon, Renjiro used Rivellia's ice-based wide-area annihilation magic to constantly freeze the hazardous fluid, creating safe footholds for his allies.

Finally…

[- my name is Alf]

[Fimbulvetr!!!]

This spell undeniably mirrored the Norse myth of Ragnarök, freezing everything in the designated area with three waves of extreme cold.

Of course, at Lv.3, the spell's power was only roughly equivalent to upper Lv.5.

It couldn't blanket the entire world in frost like the myth.

But luckily, Renjiro's mana reserves were huge.

If one attempt wasn't enough… he could simply cast it multiple times.

"Now I see why the Demi Spirit's 'fast-forwarded divine speech' is so enviable!"

At the same time…

"Hah~"

Ottar seized the opportunity, leaping into the air. With two massive swords, he slashed diagonally from the Black Balor's left shoulder to its right waist, spraying filthy blood everywhere.

Even ignoring the Archons, this pig-man warrior was one of the main offensive forces in the battle.

Aside from him, Allen, the so-called "fastest in the city," could maneuver around the giant monster with incredible speed, keeping it occupied.

As for the Twin Stars and the Gulliver Brothers…

The current monster was naturally resistant to their abilities.

There was a huge gap in raw combat power.

The Gulliver Brothers Lv.5, couldn't match the Twin Stars, Lv.5.

Even if they used their signature combination attacks, they barely reached Lv.6 combat strength.

Against a potential Lv.8 that wasn't nearly enough.

Right now, the four brothers were already fully focused just avoiding the lethal rays from the Evil Eye.

In short, for them, this battle today was really just about participation.
