Chapter 23 (2/2)
‘The power is not always the answer’
The current Ian didn’t have enough power to destroy the gargoyle with a single ic
He didn’t drink the half elixir either
So, he needed to increase the efficiency of his spells
“Aqua ball”
Nuoyle
Of course it didn’t receive dae from it
The gargoyle just got wet from it
“Aqua…”
“Kaaaaarkk!”
It rushed towards Ian while screa
It seery
Nevertheless, Ian just kept shooting water balls
Aqua balls were reloaded endlessly
“Karr, Karrr…!”
Ian avoided its attack like a snake
Now the gargoyle started to stretch its wings
It looked mad now
‘I wouldn’t be able to avoid it’
There was a clear liically enhanced body
It wasn’t is
The gargoyle knew this as well by its instinct
Ian moved to his second plan
“Kaaaaaaaa-!”
It cried with confidence
The confidence that the little young boy would become its food with this attack
It started to charge with its wings
Its speed was dramatically increased
And Ian,
“Ice wall”
An ice wall suddenly erupted out of nowhere
Thanks to the cold energy nearby, the speed of spell casting ice as fast
Did he oyle?
No, he didn’t mean to
He didn’t make a wall in front of him Instead he made it underneath him
Smash!+
Its body smashed the ice wall
it was strong enough for its upper body to pass the ice wall
In another point of vieas stuck in the ice
It wouldn’t able to move out for a while
“Woah, I would die if I was standing behind the wall”
Ian softly jumped down from the top of the ice wall
He could only see the butt of gargoyle
Satisfied, he focused mana on each of his hands
Spark! Spaark! Spaaarrrkk!
lightning started to dance on each of his hands
He wet the gargoyle for this moment, didn’t he?
“lightning”
A powerful white lightning streaoyle
Actually, it struck the whole ice wall, including the gargoyle
The Gargoyle’s soft inner skin was hidden under its hardened outer skin
And there was nothing better than lightning to burn its inner skin
“KAARRRRRAAAK!”
It screamed for a while
When it stopped screaround completely
“Hew”
Its burnt smell filled the air
It certainly wasn’t a nice smell
It caused him to feel nauseated
‘It should be open now’
According to Ian’s oyle
More precisely, at the center where the gargoyle stood petrified before, a wide hole had appeared under the statue base
It should be same this time
Thud! Thud! Crrrrr…
As he expected
A hole started to appear at the centre
It’s almost there
It will be there under the hole
But he needed to do so down
‘This is the important part’
Holding its leg, Ian drew the corpse of the gargoyle near the hole
It was as heavy as its size
Thanks to help of mana, he could move its body
“Ah, its eyes first”
It didn’t seem to be an enjoyable process, but he had no choice It was a precious ingredient
Taking a breath, he took out its eyes
They were as hard as amethyst
“Hmm not bad”
It was a much easier process since its texture was stone like
If it was squishy, Ian would feel sick
After that, Ian restartedthe corpse
Then he pushed it away into the hole
It fell for a long time since the hole was deep
A few seconds later,
BANG! BAAANG! BaBam!
Sounds of explosions were heard
It was just the beginning
Not only explosions, many other noises were heard
The sound of lightning, freezing and so on
Each sound recalled soics
‘He installed stupidly many traps’
It was the sound of ‘Mana Trap’
In his former life, Ian dealt with it by himself
There were no probleht noouldn’t be able to endure it
‘It seems to have ended’
The noises stopped
There ht be a few traps still unactivated, but he would able to take care of it
“Feather Fall”
The book of dragon chats was close now
And a few ‘Useful’ items
All of the under the hole
Ian juic
