80 Episode 79 Absorption and Recapture (1/2)
If we're going to fight, we need to know what's going on.
Both of them have about 30 billion MP.
Ignis Wyvern's MP is 5.8 billion, so it is much higher than that.
Their other stats are about the same or slightly lower than Ignis'.
In addition to breath and flying like Ignis, he also has ”Degraded Space Magic Grip”.
I'm not sure what is degraded about it, but it seems to have high performance in terms of magic power.
However, in the case of the dragons, MP is also HP, which means that their durability is also high.
Since I ran out of MP in the last dragon fight, I'll keep an eye on my magic power.
It's not decreasing at all at the moment, but I thought I might be able to find out the cause of the problem.
By the way, the current value is about 3 billion, most of which was increased when the dragon was defeated.
This should be enough to check the situation.
As usual, I decided to fight at a close distance to avoid the breath.
I fire off a few spells, but they don't seem to have any effect on the dragons.
When dealing with multiple opponents, the basic rule is to focus on one of them.
Following this theory, I stuck to one of the dragons and began to attack it intensively.
The battle went smoothly.
It is true that the damage is much smaller than that of the magic sword.
However, even though it was a sub-dragon, it was an opponent that I could defeat even if I wasn't the one who was prepared to take a lot of damage from a city with one of the strongest defenses in the country such as Decibatore.
There is no way that you can't deal damage with a sword that can take the head off a dragon in a single blow if it is a magic sword, aided by high-powered magic and high status.
On the defensive side, you have enough protection to take a hit from a breath, and the speed of reinforcement of the barrier has increased as well as the output of the magic.
If the attack is not painful, the number and strength are not so frightening as long as the time is extended.
He simply stabs his sword at the parts he sees, such as the wings, legs, and neck, and breaks away when the breath comes.
It will ignore any allies in its line of fire, but since there is no coordination, it doesn't feel like a nuisance.
It's a simple battle with no single blow, but the continual attacks are slowly draining the dragons' HP.
The dragon consumes magic power to heal its wounds, but that doesn't change the fact that it reduces its own power.
In addition, the body's healing power seems to be lower than that of the previous dragons.
As a result, the dragon's HP, MP, and MP are reduced.
As a result, the dragons' HP and MP are being reduced at an accelerated rate.
The only thing I was worried about was the degradation of my grip on spatial magic.
About an hour has passed since the battle began.
The magic of one of the dragons has already been reduced to about 60%.
In contrast, my HP and MP are completely intact.
It's not a matter of strategy, but simple specs that give me the edge.
In fact, that would have been the case if these dragons had been like other dragons.
But it wasn't just the numbers that made this time's enemy different from the previous ones.
”Giaaaaaaaa......
The injured dragon suddenly let out an unprecedented roar and spread its battered wings, unable to recover from the damage caused by the magic power.
This is the degrading space magic seizure?
You don't know what will happen, so you stop attacking and keep your distance.
As you keep your distance, you watch out for the other dragon's breath, but the nearly unharmed dragon shrinks its wings and closes its mouth as if to protect itself.
The other dragon, which is almost unharmed, shrinks its wings and closes its mouth as if to protect itself. From its reaction, he judges that it is a ranged attack regardless of friend or foe (although he doesn't know if the other dragon considers it a friend) and speeds up to get away from it.
But it seems that he was too late.
I felt something like magic power being sucked out of a 50 meter radius around the injured dragon.
The leaves of the trees in the area shriveled and the undergrowth wilted.
It seems that I was the target of this absorption of magic power.
My MP, which had remained at its maximum value since the start of the battle, began to slowly decrease.
I say slowly, but that's based on my total magic power.
The drain was over in only about two seconds, but I lost about 2.5 million MP and 100,000 of my maximum magic power.
I wondered if the magic in the air had decreased, and my recovery seemed slower than expected.
Incidentally, the other dragon didn't seem to lose any magic power, probably because I protected myself.
What was even more dramatic was the change in the other dragon.
His body had recovered 80% of its magic power, and his magic power was fully recovered.
It was too powerful a recovery effect.
Considering the fact that this effect has never been used before, there should be some kind of disadvantage or restriction, but there is no such thing.
In games, there is a standard limit to the number of times you can use the item, or the time it takes to reuse it, but there is no guarantee of that.
There is no guarantee, but fortunately I rested well before coming here, so I can fight for a few days without resting.
In any case, it wouldn't be a bad choice to try the simplest strategy, which is to keep grinding away with maximum firepower.
It's good to know that the degraded spatial magic grip is no longer a threat to me, regardless of the amount of recovery.
Now that I no longer have to fear anything more than taking a series of breaths, I can attack more boldly.
As a result, the pace at which I could cut down the dragons increased by about 30%, and in less than 30 minutes I was able to cut down the dragons to the point where the previous drain came.
Immediately after that, the drain was activated, and the dragon's HP and MP recovered at once.
The MP and HP after recovery are almost the same as after the last recovery.
There seemed to be no way to reduce it by repeating the process.
