[No can do that]
『As if we’ll let you』
Even I knew that it’s trying to cast dark magic. A magic to conjure dark matter from a different dimension, only to let it explode here. The Fire Ball magic that I had, seemed like a joke when compared to the destruction it caused.
5 space distortions appeared. From there, the dark matter would be conjured up.
[Greed!]
[1,2,3…..]
I couldn’t reach the last two…. In addition to that, the Undead Archdemon was also attacking me while chanting the spell.
[Kuh]
[Fate, now]
I grabbed on the archdemon’s head, maneuvered myself and kicked it down. Using that as a footing to jump higher, I reached another space distortion.
[….4, one more to go….chi!?]
The fourth distortion was dispelled, but when I turned to the last distortion, I saw that the dark matter has been formed. I cut off the magic in a haste, but a large blob of dark matter already managed to go through.
It was pitch black as if it’s swallowing all the lights that came in contact with it. Fine cracks started to appear all over its surface. Surely, it has started to break down.
『Fate, turn me into the demon shield! We’ll get caught in its blast at this rate!』
Engulfed in the black light, I got anxious from being this close to the explosion, despite already switching to the black shield.
[Are you alright?]
[Yeah, thanks to this]
The undead archdemon landed on the ground with a thud, but quickly rolled up and regained its stance before flying back up to the sky.
This time it flew to a higher altitude. To the point that it’s fading beyond the snow clouds.
[Eris! Over the clouds……]
[This is bad. What a number……]
As I was looking up, Greed said through the 《Mind Reading》.
『If it’s a normal crown tier, such thing won’t be possible. There is that weirdo inside it. Don’t forget about that』
[That’s right……at this rate.]
At that point, a siren sounded throughout the kingdom. It was such a loud siren, to the point that I want to close my ears.
Apparently, the evacuation had begun…….as it is now, large amount of dark matters will be conjured up from the numerous distortion on the sky. If it goes off at the worst time, not only the capital will disappear, the citizens will also get caught in the explosion.
『Fate! What are you waiting for?』
『Isn’t it the right time to finally use the mastered first form？』
[Right now!?]
At the dismayed me, Eris jumped in to voice her agreement.
[Back then, I’ve taught you about it during the training back in Gallia, but I regretted the fact that I didn’t see it until the end…..now, show me!]
[Stop it, it’s troublesome!]
[But, I think there is no other way. It’s the only optimal path we can take]
[Take 10% of my status]
『Well said, Fate! In that case, I’ll gladly take it!』
The normal secret form’s power was already immense, but I can further ramp up the power with this. Besidely, Greed can only control the normal secret form, so it’s up to me to control the combined variation..
It was really hard. Under the stare of Eris and Myne, I trained till I fainted. On top of having my stats decreased to unlock the secret form, I was told to kill monsters to regain my stats back, and to maintain the secret form until I can master it……..it was like hell.
I was able to achieve reasonable control, but to use it in actual battle is a bit stretching it,
『Stay focus, Fate』
[Yeah, here I go!]
[Evolve, Bloody Ptarmigan!]
I shouted as I assimilated deeper, and deeper. When the connection reached a critical point, the transformation started with the magic arrow.
