Abyssal Sea Monster (2)
Magic Knight of Mrchen Act 7, Chapter 3, The Abyssal Sea Monster.
In the joint practical evaluation, if the player survived for a certain amount of time, a demon sleeping in the deep sea in the form of dark mana awakened, which was the beginning of Act 7, Chapter 3.
Ian Fairytale, who was a Predator in the exam, headed to Eltra Sea where the Abyssal Sea Monster had appeared. As a bearer of the light element, he felt it was his personal mission to defeat the demon. A sense of justice to protect people also played a role.
However, in this world, Ian couldnt become a Predator like in the original scenario because I took first place in Class B, pushing him out.
Anyway, since the Abyssal Sea Monster could be confronted without the power of the light element, it didnt matter whether Ian was here or not.
The powerful mana of the Abyssal Sea Monster swallowed the surrounding mana, causing chaos like a TV with signal interference and noise.
It was the effect of the passive skill [Mana Drain], a skill that could only absorb mana weaker than its own. For reference, Ian, with the light element, was immune to such a power.
Anyway, in Magic Knight of Mrchen, once Ian reached the Eltra coast,
The Abyssal Sea Monsters minion and mid-boss, the Abyssal Queen, flew in like a bullet and activated the effect of the Ring of the Abyssal Queen.
A more powerful skill than [Mana Drain], the Abyssal Sea Monsters passive skill, was [Mana Leech].
It was an ability to suck the mana and life force of a desired target, and it could only be used against those weaker than the ring wearer.
The range of effect was much more limited compared to [Mana Drain], so only those on the Eltra coast suffered its effects.
As a result, the exam proctors and first-year students who reached Eltra coast had their mana and stamina sucked away in an instant.
The rings power activated in proportion to how much it devoured. Even in that instance, Ian, being of light element, was immune to [Mana Leech].
The mission of the abyssal sea demons was to defeat Ian Fairytale.
To fulfill that mission, the Abyssal Queen absorbed the activated ring into her body, gaining even greater power.
Originally, the scenario was that Ian, angered by the sight of the exhausted first-year students, would fight against the Abyssal Queen.
And the hidden condition.
If all first-year students heading to Eltra Coast in the joint practical evaluation were successfully stopped, a new event cutscene occurred.
When the Abyssal Sea Monster appeared and the proctors confirmed that no one had come to Eltra Coast, they immediately retreated to the gathering place, missing Ian.
In the final scene of the cutscene, Ian began his confrontation with the Abyssal Sea Monster and the Abyssal Queen alone. He defended against the enemies like in a defense game, while also delivering long-range attacks using his light element.
It was a reckless act.
However, it was also a brave act.
At that time, there was no one at Eltra Coast for the Abyssal Queen to absorb mana from with her ring.
Therefore, if the player defeated the Abyssal Queen before reinforcements arrived, they could obtain the Ring of the Abyssal Queen, which still hadnt been absorbed by the demon, as loot.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
Before the exit leading to Eltra Coast was sealed, I used [Clairvoyance] to confirm that the proctors were leaving for the gathering place and then slipped out of Octovus Hall.
Paladins, the Saintess, the Priestess, and the like were also rushing towards Eltra Coast, but now it didnt matter.
I flew over the vast ice on the mythical creature, Frost Dragon Hilde. Eltra Sea had been frozen wide, creating a landscape as if a new island made of ice had appeared.
And the giant demon hesitated because of the sea I had frozen.
[Igpus the Enlightened]
Lv: 175
Race: Demon
Elements: Dark, Water
Danger: Supreme
Psychology: [Sees you as a threat.]
The Leviathan of demons, Igpus the Enlightened, glared at me with wide eyes. It was as tall as the Devil Pillar, but that was no surprise to me.
Having defeated even The Floating Island, sizes like that now seem merely quaint to me.
Fish demons with wings shaped like human hands fluttered to block my path in defense of their Lord.
They launched joint spells, combining dark and water mana, however
Whoooosh!!
4-star ice magic [Frostfire].
A frigid flame, formed from ice mana, enveloped the area and froze the dark water magic. The fish demons, frozen to their very bones, plummeted helplessly.
As a Demon-Limited Hunter, it was simply a matter of using brute force to suppress them. Even contemplating how to deal with them was a luxury.
Suddenly, the chest of the Abyssal Sea Monster demon Igpus turned slimy and viscous. A female demon then burst through his sticky chest.
It was the mid-boss and Abyssal Queen, Mezilla the Deluge
[Mezilla the Deluge]
Lv: 140
Race: Demon
Elements: Dark, Water
Danger: High
Psychology: [Wants to dissolve you.]
Each strand of hair resembled the leg of an octopus, wriggling unpleasantly as if they were worms. It was like an octopus version of Medusa from Greek mythology, who originally had snakes for her hair.
Thick lips covered half of her face. Her completely round mouth opened wide, revealing sharply packed teeth to my sight.
The appearance was disgustingly abhorrent, almost making me feel sorry for the Medusa comparison.
[Gwaaaaaaah!!!]
Wearing a Magic Cloak of Disguise Berserker, a roar automatically bursted out of my mouth.
Even though I wasnt actually yelling, my emotional state revealed the threatening demeanor of a berserker warrior.
As if reacting to mine, Mezilla let out a bizarre, twisted scream that crumpled her face which also extended her tentacle hair.
At incredible speeds, the tentacles slicing through the air were each engulfed in a grand swirl of mana, where dark and water mana merged into dark blue waves
If touched, it would dissolve my body as if hit by hydrochloric acid.
Immense mana that felt like it could crush you even from afar!
He was the protagonist of the heroic tale that captivated Miya. He was undoubtedly the Nameless Hero.
My Prince!
The sight of the Nameless Hero fighting pounded Miyas heart like a drum.
Her mouth gaped open in awe.
Near the Eltra Coast sandy beach, behind a black rock, the Spade Paladin secretly observed the situation.
Soon, Saintess Bianca also emerged from the exit. She caught her breath upon witnessing the Nameless Hero fighting in the Eltra Sea.
His roar and coldness spread fiercely in all directions.
The giant humanoid demon poured dark and water spells towards the Nameless Hero, but
The Hero, along with the white dragon presumed to be his familiar, unleashed vast ice spells, neutralizing everything, freezing, and shattering the enemy repeatedly.
Each time the Hero swung his fist, the air vibrated, and a fierce wind pressure surged.
It was a one-sided slaughter.
The massive, powerful demon was helpless against the overwhelming force.
Eventually, the Nameless Hero ruthlessly shattered and tore apart the demon frozen by the cold.
Graaaaaaaaah!!!
[Frost Explosion]. The demons massive body shattered, and frozen chunks of dark blue flesh scattered in pieces.
The Nameless Hero roared with a sound like a monsters cry.
Priestess Miya clutched her chest and after she witnessed the brutal fighting style, she sighed deeply,
Haaa
His appearance was indeed the perfect ideal she had always dreamt of.
She had never felt her heart tremble so much in her life.
Her mind was becoming all fuzzy.
It felt as if she was born to meet him.
This emotion must be love. Surely, it was love.
On the other hand, Saintess Bianca was expressionless. Even the area around her eyes seemed shadowed. No one could know what she was thinking.
Soon, the shattered body of the demon turned into grey dust and scattered in the snowstorm.
As if waiting for that moment, the white dragon raised a silver wind containing frost, [Frostwind].
!
[Frostwind] spread out fiercely, covering the Eltra Coast. Miya protected herself with a shield of flickering red flames, and Saintess Bianca covered her face with her arms.
It was mana as cold as the chill of midwinter. It didnt seem to be conjured to harm anyone; more likely, it was simply a smokescreen of sorts.
And so.
In the swirling whirl of frost, the Nameless Hero, diminishing even his mighty mana, faded away.
Haa. To finally meet you, Im so moved My Prince
Inside the flame shield, Miya clasped her hands over her heart as if praying, then closed her eyes, immersed in the aftermath.
She wanted to etch the image of the Nameless Hero fighting more vividly into her memory.
Bianca silently sheathed her mace, turned her back, and walked away.
Haa
The Spade Paladin furrowed his brows and let out a light sigh.
To eliminate someone like him
Enemy. The Nameless Hero.
Alice called him a disruptor, but to call him just that he was unbelievably strong.
The people of Mrchen Academy who had witnessed the Nameless Heros fight were left in awe. It was as if silence had fallen over the entire island.
Most people had only ever heard stories about the Nameless Hero using world-ending magic, or single-handedly defeating The Floating Island.
There were even those who proposed conspiracy theories that he was a fictional character.
But today, people truly realized
The Nameless Hero was real, and his strength had reached an unprecedented level.
And the fact that Mrchen Academy was being protected by such a formidable archwizard
Was clearly understood today.

Enough. Lets escape, Hilde!
[I shall show you the escaping skills we have practiced. It is a race, Master!]
She too mustve adapted. Its reassuring.
The ice underfoot was solid. Very good.
The reason for making this was not for anything else but to escape.
[Frostwind] was strongly blown just before [Hunter] was deactivated, so its duration should be comfortably long.
There was no need to worry about finding the way. I had [Clairvoyance]. Just in case, I also had a compass taken from a first-year student during the joint practical evaluation in my pocket.
The distance to Mrchen Academy was quite far, but my stamina was enough, so there was nothing to worry about.
I still had some leftover mana, so I could maintain the summoned state of the baby dragon form of Hilde for quite a while. She was there to raise [Frostwind] at any time in case of emergency.
[Frostwind], being treated as my magic, didnt particularly feel bothersome. I was probably the most free in this wind.
Hilde and I cut through the raging cold and ran at full speed.
It was the same ending as always.
