Episode 52.10 (1/2)

Carrion King pointed its index finger up once again and twirled it.

Then the giant mass of mana above split into five and floated around, encircling Lecan.

Now even if he could use <Magic Mirror of Ryin> it could only reflect one. Not to mention, his target wouldn't be there to get hit by the reflected attack.

Lecan threw away his shield.

<Shield of Wolkan> created a loud sound as it hit the ground.

Clack clack clack.

Carrion King moved its jaw up and down.

It's laughing.

An enormously powerful adventurer getting toyed around like a baby by a dried up skeleton, tormented to death. It's laughing at that situation. Sneering at Lecan's powerlessness.

Lecan plunged his left hand into <Storage> and took a <Bombshell> out. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Lecan would have died had Carrion King just delivered the finishing blow while he did all that.

But Lecan didn't care one bit.

He's just doing what wants. If he ends up dead in the process, that's just his fate.

He took off the safety device, switched it on and threw it ahead.

The <Bombshell> flew in the air, fell down the ground and rolled forward before stopping about three steps away from the Carrion King.

Carrion King stared at this weird object below with a tilted head.

Lecan took a <Wand of Cordysie> out of <Storage>.

He can't think straight anymore.

Even standing is difficult.

Lecan's life is about to run out anytime.

(Eda.)

(Sorry.)

As he apologized in his mind, Lecan summoned the last of his strength and recited a spell.

”<Barrier (Ogdim)>.”

A weak voice.

But it was enough to manifest the barrier loaded in the wand.

Lecan was unsure if he could even activate the barrier with all his mana gone. Nevertheless he gave it a try. And it worked. The mana loaded in the wand had activated the magic.

But it might not be a perfect barrier.

Carrion King made a loud laughing sound of clacking bones.

And the <Bombshell> went off.

Lecan saw with his own eye how Carrion King got blown into smithereens.

Almost at the same time, the explosion reached Lecan, destroyed the barrier and blew him away.

Lecan lost consciousness as the blast enveloped his entire body.

He eventually came to, when he should have been dead.

However, he couldn't move a finger.

(How am I alive?)

(...Oh yeah.)

(Self-Recovery skill huh.)

The Gold Potion he got in Dungeon Tsubolt granted Lecan Self-Recovery skill. However this power only activates when he's on the verge of death and is only enough to keep him alive for a little bit.
