Chapter 98.3. The Second Year at the Academy - Consequences of a Chain (3)
Thank you.
The fact that the cautious Dreppen descended into the forest proves that Dekrama is not present.
In addition, the Dekrama battle had the attention of Yabushou and the security guards, making it unusable.
Let me have some practical combat practice, Dreppen.
I activated [High-Speed Movement] and unsheathed my Shamshir.
In response to the sound, several monsters took flight.
One monster descended rapidly through the trees
It's opening its mouth wide and approaching.
The sword still couldn't reach it.
Nevertheless, I swung the Shamshir.
"If they're only at this level, one strike should do it."
The compound eyes shifted, and a giant dragonfly, split into three parts, crashed into the ground.
[Wind Blow]
A mid-level attack skill that combines physical and wind attributes.
It requires high combat skills, agility, and a wind attribute rank for mastery.
It's a recently acquired mid-level attack skill.
Aligned with the trajectory of [Double Strike], a barrage of wind blades struck the target.
A skill reminiscent of Mercant's [Wind Blade] and Valerie's [Double Strike].
Even with my compound eyes, the wind blades were invisible.
Even when three of my companions were taken down, other Dreppen paid no attention.
They took flight one after another, attacking in a nosedive.
Good, I'll counter everything with [Wind Blow].
Diligently dodging the assaults, I seized opportunities to unleash wind blades.
The range is just under two meters, but with my current agility of 40, even the heavy Shamshir can touch a top speed of 24.
The Dreppen was being sliced up amusingly.
When their numbers were halved, I unintentionally let out a sound.
"Wow, cannibalism?"
One Dreppen carried a dead comrade, left the scene, landed on a branch, and began feasting on the corpse.
Frowning, I unleashed Wind Blow] on another Dreppen.
Shallow—
Unable to kill, a Dreppen approached me with a wound.
However, I didn't need to dodge.
Thinking it was dead, another wounded Dreppen attacked.
Suddenly, a large dragonfly aerial battle began.
The last Dreppen joined in, and the three monsters tangled overhead.
The one that started cannibalizing casually watched the conflict, chewing its companion gracefully.
Even though they approached from over there, they completely forgot about me.
Practical combat practice...
I scratched my cheek and looked around.
Three Dreppen corpses still lay untouched.
Well, aren't they coming to attack anymore?
With indigestion, I retreated.
That's when it happened.
The ground suddenly exploded.
In front of my astonished eyes, a pillar of rock emerged with dust.
It's directly hitting the Dreppen engaged in aerial combat and swallowing it instantly.
This is magic—!?
The pillar moved abruptly, and the tip, now swollen into a triangle, was directed at me.
Something glowed in the small indentations at both ends.
Mocking me as I hastily retreated, the branch Dreppen flew away.
The triangle turned in that direction and once again faced me.
A giant snake—could it be Meluga!?

"It's not the same thing!!"
That Rebecca, there's no way he's just a glutton...
A wielder of spirit magic is a rarity among rarities.
Kudurga leisurely emerged from the ground.
It was over ten meters long. With its thickness, it unmistakably resembled the monster I had encountered before.
Its rock-like face showed no emotion, but it gave the impression of scrutinizing the surroundings.
[Presence Detection] was probably probing for any other prey besides me.
I tightened my grip on the Shamshir.
I can't leave this one alone. If it appears in the ranch, it'll be more than just a Dekurama commotion.
Moreover, if I let it escape now, discovering this monster underground would be nearly impossible.
Above all, it's an excellent opportunity to seriously fight a magician.
Whether it realized there was nothing else around, Kudurga's attention focused on me.
At that moment, an enormous mouth suddenly approached.
Hey, that's too much.
I dodged the bite, leaped over the follow-up tail strike, and dodged another bite.
Despite its high intelligence, it seems to perceive me as a weaker opponent.
But I'm grateful it underestimates me.
I haven't decided what to do.
Dispatching Kudurga is easy.
It lacks resistance, so I can finish it with [Multiple Chants].
The problem is whether to do it immediately or wait and see.
Spirit magic is a rare skill, a specialized form of magic that requires [Spirit Communion], and even if you learn it from a magic book, it won't activate.
There are virtually no human users, and the possibility of encountering one again is hopeless.
Moreover, the earth attribute area magic [Stalagmite] is also rare.
It's said to be more suitable for anti-army than anti-personnel, and due to the unpopularity of earth attributes, there are few practitioners.
I'd like to see how both of these work, but the risks are significant.
Especially spirit magic, which lacks a predetermined effect, would drastically change the situation based on the abilities of the spirit named Lanniel.
Suddenly, Kudurga's attacks ceased.
Still expressionless, but I somehow feel it's getting annoyed.
After observing me for a while, it lowered its head leisurely.
At that moment, my entire body became heavy.
[Force Field]—a basic magic of no attribute.
I moved my limbs to check the sensation.
Apparently, it's a magic that gives viscosity to the magical power in the atmosphere.
Unlike Pidosios's [Chain Bind], it doesn't materialize.
With this, I can't destroy it, but—.
