Episode 7.7 (2/2)

This time Lecan formed his hand like the shape of a blade and thrust it forward toward the magic beast.

”<Flame Spear>!”

A wide flat flame destroyed the enemy this time.

--Not good. It got way weaker and lacked control.

Floor 14 magic beasts are fourth rank Sky Fish, Eyeball Redfish (Enuruch).

Lecan was a bit shocked when he first saw this magic beast, a giant eyeball floating in the air.

These magic beasts possess an exceptional detection ability able to detect faraway enemies unhindered by the dense formation of twisted pillars found here. Then it will patiently wait until the enemy comes within 30 steps from it before using

on it.

Last time he encountered one, Lecan's entire body felt numb when he received an attack from this magic beast, but he immediately got free of the binding thanks to his ring and moved on to cut it down. Afterward, he defeated all other Eyeball Redfish before they could attack him by approaching them while hiding behind pillars. As such, he had no idea what they would do after using

.

According to the handbook, it would latch its feelers into the petrified enemy and suck their body fluid dry.

This time, Lecan has a mean to attack from a distance as well. He also probably holds the upper hand in range, but thanks to the pillars scattered all over the place, he won't be able to see most targets within 30 step away either.

In other words, their chances are about even.

--Let's go with battle of speed.

In short, it's a match of cast time, whether his enemy would cast

first or his <Flame Spear> first.

In the end, Lecan encountered two Eyeball Redfish before arriving at the stairway.

Lecan won both battle of speed.

However Lecan felt something amiss as he turned around before the stairway and said his thanks toward the magic beasts.
