Chapter 272 - Versatile, Jack Of All Trades And The Versatile Battle Maid (XI) (1/2)

The Magic Circle is much bigger and based on the runes and symbols on the Magic Circle, I am perfectly sure it is a 7th tier magic. It's a pretty common magic circle among magicians who already got their class upgrade.

But, the only creatures capable of unleashing a magic circle of this caliber are boss monsters and some Elite Tier enemies that have the job or affiliation to magic knowledge. I have never seen a boss that is just a goop use magic of this scale.

The magic immediately fired off, and from the looks of it, it looks like the modified version of [Dark Ray], a 7th tier magic that only the Magician class up, Black Magician can use. However, this one is much more powerful since this version [Dark Ray] is more focused and only appears as one beam compared to the [Dark Ray] that Black Magician's form which is scattered and smaller beams to deal with multiple enemies. This one is specialized to deal with AOE damage while maintaining itself as one single beam.

”[Magic Jammer]!”

BOOM!

My magic and the [Dark Ray] collided. It was pretty strong and even with [Magic Jammer] that nullifies the [Dark Ray], the pressure is quite strong that I need to exert more force to stop it completely.

As soon as the magic ended, I also stopped defending with [Magic Jammer] and grabbed one of the Scrolls.

”[Heavenly Chains]!”

The chains immediately tried to bind the goop, but when it did, the chains just passed through the goop like liquid and the chains disappeared.

”Tch, so [Heavenly Chains] doesn't work huh, well then. [Ice Prison]!”

After casting [Ice Prison], I also imbued my weapon with the Ice element using the [Ice Sword] ability. If the monster has the composition of Water, I can halt its movements with Ice Magic and finish it with Electric magic.

”[Attack Up]! [Defense up]! [Magic Amp]!” Lina on the back raised her Morning Star and my body felt the light amount of energy flowing to me. I can also feel the power flowing within my body and my armor seems to have gotten shinier. With the buff she gave me, my damage is amplified.

”HA!”

Striking the Versatile Weapon to the goop, it just easily got pierced and I think I just stabbed something but felt much smoother than a jelly. But before I can even do anything, the goop that I pierced with my sword made its move and swallowed my body. It was quick and I didn't get to react immediately as the Versatile Weapon is also sucked in to the body of the goop.

”Master!” Everyone inside the Summon's area shouted in unison as I got myself entangled in a sticky situation.

However, this is a good timing. Although this one is just a goop, I know there must be a weakness inside like some core that keeps it alive just like how a slime does. The gem atop of its head is also one weakness I am considering but it is already moving without it before so I doubt the gem on its head is the main core. More like it is a backup core in case the real one is damaged.

However, compared to my expectation, the goop doesn't have the same properties a slime has. Slimes has at least hard exterior but liquid interior. Once something is swallowed by a slime, it was like they are swimming inside its body before it gets digested or melted. This goop is like being encased by a jelly that suddenly goes hard after a few minutes of air exposure. Also, its suffocating here, even though it is a game, I can feel the suffocation feeling too. It was like I am drowning even though there's no water for me to drown.

I struggled moving and I can't move my sword. It's like the goop is preventing me from doing anything. Seeing that I can't do anything, I decided to brute force myself out of this sticky and disgusting situation.

”[Earth Fissure]!”

My Versatile Weapon vibrated and it didn't take a matter of seconds before the goop's body exploded, releasing me from its captivity. Without wasting a single second, I changed the Versatile into a hook and chain and used it so that I can get out of the body of the goop before it gets to reform again.

As soon as I get out of the area, Lina jumped and catches me mid air before landing far from the goop.

”Master? Are you hurt anywhere? Did that goop tried to melt you or something?”

I coughed a bit after regaining back my regular breathing process. Thankfully, this was a game so I managed to recover back my breathing. Also, I didn't drown in the water so that is also one of the reason I managed to recover my breath.

”I am alright, Lina. More importantly, this thing is not even close to a slime. I thought it would have a similar properties to a slime and it can be killed like how a regular slime should be killed, but this bastard is not even one.”

Gazing at its health bar, I discovered that I managed to damage it quite a bit. It's health is now down to 2,763,904 HP. That is a big damage considering it didn't give much impact. Maybe because I did it inside its body that it caused itself to reduce a lot of its health.

The Undying King Goop started to cast another 7th tier magic but this time, it is an Earth Magic this time. Seeing how the cave's surroundings started to move, I quickly identified the skill it is using.
