43 Chapter 44: Basilisk (1/2)
I had gone over the plan with the two girls but they denied it. It was a rather simple plan, and it was one of our best options.
”Why not?” I asked
”Fighting that thing without looking? Are you out of your mind?” Asked serena
”No, I told you. I have deprehendre. I can sense it.” I replied
”But John, What if you're hit and the shock causes you to open your eyes?” Asked Ariel
”That won't happen,” I said
”Let's leave it, Ariel. We don't have any better plans and he won't budge now that he's decided on it.”
”Fine...” Muttered Ariel
”I'm sorry Ariel, but we don't have much of a choice...” I said
”I get it... I just hate how your life is constantly at risk, in the front and we're not able to offer much support...” Said, Ariel
”You've been doing a great job with Serena supporting me from medium range, Thanks to you two i feel a lot safer at the front,” I said
”I-Is that so...” Muttered Ariel
Ariel cast Wind Spear. She had been casting many spells today, so I was really surprised by her recent growth in both strength and magic capacity.
The wind began to gather where a flame had been formed thanks to Serena. That caused The Wind spear to turn into a flame-wind Spear
After that. Serena cast 20 fire arrows and Ariel gathered air behind them, to propel them at any moments notice.
”We're ready.” Said, Ariel
Amazing. Their teamwork is amazing. Despite not being able to look, they were able to sense where the other was gathering the mana. Most of it is thanks to magic perception but it's also something you can't pull off unless you've had a lot of practice.
”Well done, you two have really improved your control over concept magic.”
”T-Thanks to you...”
”John is a great teacher!” Said, Ariel
”Y-Yeah, no problem, I'm also grateful to you two, Despite being annoying. Serena is very wise. Ariel is hard-working and a great learner. You two have both saved me and I owe you a lot.” I replied
”Of course you do... While I'm glad about being called wise, Ariel's the one who's saved you, I haven't managed to do much...” Said, Serena
”That's not true” Said Ariel
”Remember when I was cursed and was losing myself when we fought the spider queen? You noticed it and stopped me from getting possessed. And that time where you held back the spider queen when Ariel was hurt? Oh and-” I said.
”A-Alright! I get it! C-Can we have this talk later..? T-The monster's still standing there...” Said Serena with an embarrassed tone
”Alright, Stick to the plan. Velox! Gravitas! Levite!”
I cast Velox and Levite to boost my self straight towards the monster. My eyes were closed and i couldn't see it but i could feel it thanks to magic perception and deprehendre. I cast Gravitas so that it wouldn't move.
Despite being under 20x Gravity, it managed to turn its body and I ended up Swinging at the side of its body.
