Chapter 30: Youll destroy it? (2/2)
”I can understand that, but there's something else,” Zesta's tone turned grim, ”That human, there's no doubt that he is a Life Hunter.”
Azes was shocked when he heard that but this time, he wasn't panicked but delighted. He started to laugh wholeheartedly, ”They're not extinct after all. There was actually one hiding in a circuit-less world!”
”What's your plan? Now that an Earthen One has acted, others will notice something,” Zesta warned him. Without knowing it, she had already joined Azes's side.
Azes mused, ”In what planet did I send him? Which Earthen One attacked him?”
”He's on planet 5B. The one who attacked him was Errastas.”
”There's no problem then. Errastas is known to be whimsical. Even if other Heavenly Gods find out about him, they won't do anything very soon. You're also one of the only Gods who have enough time to waste on observing a simple human.”
Zesta snorted and looked away, ”I was just curious.”
”You can go down a bit if you want to meet him. That should be interesting. Also, help him hide his identity as a Life Hunter.” Azes suggested and Zesta's eyes widened.
She seriously thought about it then nodded, ”Well, it would be entertaining indeed to visit the mortal world once in a while.”
********************************
Arima stayed on his lion and worked on some mithril while Lanya kept facing the undead on their path. Fortunately for her, the strongest she had met were only at the seventh level.
Night was also teaching her, as per usual, but he corrected her a lot less than before. Her learning speed was something that even Arima had to praise her for.
Three hours after they left the cave, they halted and observed the path ahead. There was a gloomy stone edifice, located a mile away from them, which resembled a mausoleum.
Arima snapped his fingers and the lion disappeared. He stood on the ground and smiled, ”We should be more careful from now on. First, I didn't want to eliminate the leading undead but I realized that I need to get stronger to have more fu- to keep me alive.”
Night cast him a really questionable look and Lanya wasn't sure how to react.
Arima walked toward her and handed her a silver, French-looking rapier, ”Take this.”
Lanya was astonished and took a lot of time to grab the rapier.
”Seems you like slashing. Hell knows why you chose a rapier, but with this weapon, you can slash and pierce at the same time if you want.” Arima said and pointed his palm at the rapier. The sword was transmuted into a blue light. Because he had already done it for his weapons, it took less time than before but he still took a few minutes to finish.
When Lanya realized that the rapier was bound to her soul, she was extremely happy, ”Thank you!”
Arima snickered and turned toward the mausoleum. He cracked his neck and kicked the ground to go there. Night and Lanya looked at each other before following him. In just a few seconds, they reached the mausoleum and admired it.
”You'll destroy it?” Night casually asked as he looked at the sturdy looking walls of the edifice.
Lanya blinked, ”Huh? Master?”
”Why not.”
”Seriously?” Lanya joined those two not long ago so she still wasn't used to their way of doing things. Of course, she would be surprised.
”Let's do it then. Lanya you may have nothing to do. Stand back for now and learn.” Arima stated and resonated with Night. He flew off and placed himself above the mausoleum which was a hundred meters tall.
”Let's go with light for once,” Arima declared and waved his hand. A quadrangle magic formation instantly surrounded the edifice. Arima then clasped his hands together and a loud boom echoed, making the ground shake.
”[Alligatum, Obfirmo] (Confinement, Lock),” He chanted and a huge white cube confined the whole mausoleum.
”[Fulgebunt sicut sol] (Shine like the sun),” An extremely bright light shrouded everything that was inside that barrier and hot steam started to come out of the ground.
”[Ultimum Magicae, Lux Amputates] (Ultimate Magic, Light Eradication).”
The light inside the cube became so strong that it illuminated everything in a ten miles' radius while every weak undead around it was vaporized.
Even Lanya who had a light attribute inheritance felt that she would be injured if she were to lower her defenses, even if she was outside of the cube.
Soon the light faded away and the cube broke into pieces. Arima took a deep breath and a whirlpool of colorless energy formed around him before it was absorbed by him.
”Not bad at all. That's a good amount of life force,” Arima grinned. ”I've gone up by half a level.”
He inspected his strength and stared at where the mausoleum was supposed to be. There was only a small stone ruin left. From inside of it, eleven figures got out.
”{A part of it wasn't destroyed. There must be something special with that stone,}” Night commented.
Ten of the figures that appeared had all a very similar appearance. They were around five meters tall and each looked like a different animal. They were all standing on their two hind legs and their two other limbs were bizarrely large. Their flesh was rotting and the ribs and internal organs were almost completely visible.
”Wendigo,” Arima muttered after he saw them. It was the first thing he compared them to. Then, he gazed at the last figure. It was a gray skeleton wearing a black cloak. There were flames blazing in his eyes socket.
”A lich, huh?” Arima smirked and lightning thundered around him. ”Classic. Bring it on.”
