NOVEL NEXT Chapter 150
150. The Mightiest Strike
“Alright, with this…!”
“Wait…!? What are you doing?!”
Just as I was about to pick up Zaine’s Evil Eye, Raize rushed over from behind and stopped me by putting me in a full nelson.
“You saw Laura lose control earlier, didn’t you?! If you touch that stone, things are going to get ugly!”
“No! I have a plan!”
I need this Zaine’s Evil Eye for my plan.
Zaine’s Evil Eye has a downside of causing the wielder to go berserk, but it’s worth it for the power it grants. It enhances both the wielder’s physical and magical abilities.
If I can get my hands on this gem and hit Behemoth with a
When I explained that to Raize, she shook her head.
“Sure, maybe that would be enough to take down Behemoth! But what about after that?! You’ll lose control next!”
“No, that won’t happen. I’m going to pour all my magic into this one shot. I should pass out for a while after that.”
I’ve lost consciousness before when I’ve pushed past my limits. I’m already at my breaking point, so if I use up all my magic, I’m sure that’ll happen again.
“Once I’m out cold, Raize, I need you to touch me and break me out of the berserk state. You can do that, right?”
“…Hah, what a reckless plan. There’s a chance you won’t pass out, and it might not even work on Behemoth.”
“Are you going to stop me?”
“You wouldn’t listen even if I tried. Seriously, think about what you’re dragging me into…”
Raize let out a big sigh, then looked at me with resolute eyes and smiled.
“Fine. If you’re going to protect everyone, then I’ll protect you. So, go all out. Partner.”
“…Yeah, I’m counting on you!”
As I answered, I grabbed Zaine’s Evil Eye. At the same time, I felt something rise from the pit of my stomach. It was hatred. A pitch-black emotion that made me want to destroy everything. A murderous urge that made me want to lash out at whatever was in front of me.
Along with it, power surged through my entire body. I channeled all that anger toward Behemoth, pointing my right hand at the massive creature.
“Creation! Flying Slime!”
Next, I used the Slime Creator to summon a new slime. What I created was a flying slime. It could soar through the sky, with angelic white wings sprouting from its back.
“Flying Slime! Carry me right over Behemoth!”
“Kyu!”
The Flying Slime responded and flattened itself like dough. Since its wings were moving at its sides, it seemed capable of flight. Does this mean it wants me to ride on top?
Cautiously, I sat down on the board-like Flying Slime. Suddenly, its wings accelerated, and we shot into the sky!
“Kyukyukyuuu!”
Hovering in the air, the Flying Slime flew straight toward Behemoth. Right now, Behemoth is immobilized by the Guardian, so it can’t move!
This is it. All that’s left is for me to gather my magic properly!
Such immense magic power. It felt like a flood about to burst from my body. It reminded me of when I couldn’t control my magic. Now, I had to keep this volatile magic flow in check.
“GOOOOOOOO!!”
Behemoth let out a roar, frustrated that it couldn’t break through the Guardian’s defense. Its sheer power was terrifying, making clear how difficult defeating it would be.
“But… I won’t lose!”
I imagined lightning, sharp enough to pierce through a mountain. A current of electricity racing at the speed of light. The image in my mind began to turn into reality, flooding through my heart.
Not yet. Just a bit more. As soon as I’m directly above Behemoth, I’ll unleash my strongest attack.
“GRROOOOAAAARR!!”
“Damn, thirty seconds! That’s all I’ve got!”
At that moment, Behemoth stomped down forcefully, crushing the Guardian. It seemed the supply of Ironwall Slimes had run out.
With the Guardian gone, Behemoth resumed its advance. The ground shook, and the tremor spread through the air, reaching me as a gust of wind.
But… this is fine.
Everything’s ready. I’ve finally made it right above Behemoth!
“Let me show you! The true strength of the weak!!!”
The moment I shouted, a massive purple magic circle appeared above Behemoth. At the same time, a gigantic lightning bolt, like the trunk of a great tree, shot from my hand.
The bolt, at least ten meters in radius, crackled with blue-white light as it raced toward Behemoth, accompanied by a deafening roar. In an instant, the lightning pierced through Behemoth’s body, and the giant creature collapsed to the ground, crumbling from its feet.
When Behemoth fell dead, a shockwave rippled through the plains like a blast wave.
—I did it. I managed to take down Behemoth.
“Alright, now—”
At that moment, I felt my head spin and collapsed onto the Flying Slime’s back. Looks like this is as far as I can go. My energy and magic are completely drained. I’ll leave the rest to them.
With that, I lost consciousness, entrusting myself to the Flying Slime.
