Episode 52.2 (2/2)

(Is really sticking with magic attack.)

Lecan had always suspected it.

That Argent Flame Wolf specialized more in magic attacks than physical.

Naturally he's well aware just how dangerous its claws and fangs are, even experienced them first hand. Its nimbleness and motor skill are impressive as well.

And yet, he couldn't help but feel that Argent Flame Wolf specializes more in magic attack. He couldn't help but believe that these powerful magic and the vast amount of mana it has are the secret to Argent Flame Wolf's mightiness.

Thus the reason Lecan went with this strategy of exhausting the wolf's mana.

Regardless of whether that guess was right or not, the Argent Flame Wolf kept attacking with magic. There were also times it would warp right above Lecan and assaulted him with its claws and fangs, but it mostly persisted on using magic attacks as if it was to prove something.

By the end of the second day, Lecan slipped and fell down.

Argent Flame Wolf stopped and converged its mana.

This mana convergence was no joke. A vortex of a humongous amount of mana swirled.

Argent Flame Wolf is readying itself to shoot magic attack far more powerful than anything before.

Lecan thrust his left arm forward as he stood up and recited spells.

”<Deploy (Parshoot)>! <Reflection (Waldona)>!”

A hitherto unseen massively powerful magic attack was unleashed, swallowing Lecan whole.

A moment later, <Shield of Wolkan> was on his arm, <Magic Mirror of Ryin> was activated, and he proceeded to reflect this magic attack.

Its destructive power was simply beyond word.

A huge part of the mountain got gouged out and evaporated, all the trees around them got mowed down before bursting into flames.

Lecan was slack jawed at the enormity of the firepower.

As the cloud of dust settled down, the Argent Flame Wolf stood in the center of a giant crater.

Its eyes are closed, legs firm on the ground, it had stood against the magic.

Even this Argent Flame Wolf capable of brushing off any and all magic suffers great damage when hit by its own magic.

Smoke is rising from its whole body. Its beautiful fur has been dulled brown.

And yet there's not even a patch of torn fur. It truly holds a terrifying resistance against magic. However, the flesh under that fur seems to have suffered a great deal of damage, it's bubbling and swelling up.

Lecan could smell a scent of burning meat even from this distance. Its flesh under the fur has been grilled.

Lecan climbed down the crater.

Argent Flame Wolf opened its eyes wide. A gaze full of rage pierced Lecan.

Lecan carefully approached the Argent Flame Wolf.

Argent Flame Wolf shook its body, kneaded its inner mana and clad itself with that mana.

Then its browned fur regained its white luster back complete with the glister. The flesh under its fur also got refreshed, back to its glory.

(Oh?)

(What was that?)

He can't tell what Argent Flame Wolf just did. But it's clear that the wolf had just used up a huge portion of its mana.

This is exactly the chance to use his trump card.

Lecan recited a spell once he got close enough.

”<Gaspario Raaf>.”
