Chapter 19 - Branch vs Large Branch (2/2)

Of course, he didn't destroy the three nuts but instead...

He dodged them!

Whoosh!

”[Tempest Roll]!”

Since he was already on the ground, why would he need to use up SP to stop the three nuts if he could just dodge it?

”Next up, [Tempest Burst]!” Aurus shouted.

Bang!

As if a large explosion just occurred within Aurus' body, an iridescent aura instantly covered Aurus, letting him feel that he could do anything if he wanted to. But of course that feeling was just an illusion.

Whoosh!

Nonetheless, his speed that was already at 260 meters per hour was doubled to over 500 meters per hour, allowing him to close the dozen meter gap between them in just seconds!

”Identify!”

Since Aurus wanted to be sure, he checked the status of his enemy that was already damaged. He also wanted to find out which form of the [Nut Trident Triad] he would use.

”You know what? I'll just use the other form later.”

Ding!

________

[Branch Formosus — Energistus (Special)] (Level 5)

HP: 153/250

________

”Hm. My guesses were correct. This large branch had around that much HP,” Aurus let out a light smile. ”But to think that this enemy was an Elite? Heh. It's gonna die here anyway.”

Within seconds, Aurus formed another nut trident that hovered over his body. After using 30 of his SP to increase the attack power of the nut trident, he then aimed it towards the large branch.

”Take this! [Nut Trident Triad: Judgement]!”

As he said this, the large branch tried to get away from the nut trident shot by Aurus. But alas, it was all in vain.

Thanks to the large amount of SP Aurus used to execute the Judgement form, it was bound to have some unavoidable properties. Combine that with his [Wind Affinity] skill and his activated [Tempest Burst], this nut trident held an attack power and speed unrivalled among the B-Grade Inanimates!

Bang!

In just one shot, the large branch was disintegrated into multiple small pieces of wood, leaving Aurus standing as he looked at its remains. It couldn't even leave any words before it died.

But Aurus didn't mind it, he was instead eager to see the results of his fight.

Ding!

”Here it comes...!” Aurus then looked at the notification screen, only to have a face filled with utter shock.

'Critical hit! Aurus has dealt 162 HP damage to [Branch Formosus — Energistus].'

'Thanks to Aurus for fighting an enemy surpassing his grade, the experience received will be doubled!'

'Experience +200'

'Aurus has leveled up!'

'Aurus has reached the MAX level!'

'Aurus has met the necessary requirements and is now ready to evolve!'
