Chapter 28 Part4 (2/2)
At that moment, the rus.h.i.+ng mana that flowed through his bones turned into golden lightning and enveloped his body. It was like being covered in animal skin made of lightning. Plus.
[You are fighting against an irrational amount of monsters, as well as countless magic traps. The Rebellion skill has become Lv4, all stats have increased by 5, and the effect has increased!]
[Through the Rebellion skill, all stats have increased by 16%. Because Kratia Melloi is here, who you have made a deep contractual relations.h.i.+p with, all stats increase by a further 11%. Half of the effect is applied to your comrades as well!]
The Rebellion skill leveled up at a great time. Plus, the effectiveness increased even further. In an instant, his stats had increased by 27%, which would increase the power of his skills as well, effectively amplifying Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's strength. Furthermore, Kratia, as well as Prince, who was temporarily on his team, received half of those effects as well!
”It feels like my magic has been increased all of a sudden...”
”I'm going!”
It was as if the two Breath of the Lightning G.o.ds he was wielding were reacting to his Lightning Sprint, as lightning covered his body and emitted sparks. He charged at the group of monsters attacking his party. It was pretty much his first time using the skill against monsters, but he looked really natural.
”It's a trap!”
”Not a problem!”
The moment he charged, the magical traps that Kratia hadn't been able to stop activated. They came from the ground, tried to weigh him down from above, attacked from midair, attempted to transport him to another s.p.a.ce, aimed to poison him, or would put him to sleep, but all of them futilely bounced off the lightning that enclosed his body and disappeared.
That was the power of an element that had reached the high rank level.
'Nice, it's really good!'
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who realized that the traps couldn't hurt him, rushed towards the group of monsters without hesitation. His two blades, which seemed like the maw of a beast, violently and nimbly ripped apart the monsters from the front.
[Ku-Kuhat!?]
[His.h.i.+!]
At the moment of impact, he killed seven monsters in a single strike, and when they left only bone and vanished, the other monsters flinched. However, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo didn't stop. He was maintaining his Lightning Sprint, and that allowed him to quickly push forward.
It felt like he had become Jin. He could move incomparably fast compared to normal, and his response time was likewise incomparable. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo pierced through the heads of the monsters that dared to strike from above, and would rip through the sides and shoot lightning at the monsters that attempted to bypa.s.s him and strike at his allies!
[Kihik!]
[Kyaaaah!]
The monsters would be shocked and paralyzed just by being near him. The time they were paralyzed was extremely short, but as of now, it was more than enough time for Lee s.h.i.+n Woo to decapitate them. The Breath of the Lightning G.o.ds that he was wielding spewed lightning, and whenever they cried out, the monsters' bodies would explode.
”Huaaaaaaah!”
[Kugaaaahk!]
There was even a pleasant surprise; though there was the mana consumption that came from maintaining Lightning Sprint... Lee s.h.i.+n Woo hadn't thought of training his intermediate Mana Bone with it.
The facility had become twisted after dozens of years of neglect, and mana had acc.u.mulated more and more within this s.p.a.ce, so his bones crazily drew in the ambient mana and covered any mana consumption he had. Rather, he had so much mana that it felt like it would overflow, and he used that overflowing mana to increase the size of his lightning. Mana Bone and Lightning Sprint had formed an equilibrium.
'I see. Perhaps...'
Within a second, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo sprinted, swung his sword dozens of times, killed several hundreds of monsters, and then realized something.
He'd caught a glimpse of it when his party had gone through the level 6 dungeon, but fighting against level 6 monsters and overpowering them so easily, he couldn't help but realize.
[Critical Hit!]
[Critical Hit!]
[Kuhaaah!]
He was strong.
Really strong.
[Gueehk!]
[Critical Hit!]
Because almost all of the monsters he'd fought so far had been a higher level than him, he had either avoided them, caused them to destroy each other, made traps, attacked together with allies, or tricked them, so he had thought he wouldn't be able to judge his abilities, but that was a huge misunderstanding.
[Critical Hit!]
[Critical Hit!]
Rule of Bone, Bursting Thunder, the Lightning Element, Combat Sense, Mana Bone, Bone Armory, Lightning Sprint, and Rebellion. These abilities he'd desperately gathered in order to get stronger, as well as the experiences and the memories of higher leveled enemies mixed together and were making him stronger.
In the beginning, he had done this in order to beat higher leveled enemies. It was strange for him not to overpower enemies that were at the same level. Regardless of whether they numbered in the hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands!
In this world, one powerful individual could trample several weaklings. Now, level 6 monsters were nothing more than weakling that he could trample over.
”L-Lightning? Keuk, Fire Demon's Grip!”
It had been 2 seconds since he'd started the battle, and within that time, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had killed hundreds of monsters. Around that time, Prince began partic.i.p.ating in the battle. Large scale destruction was a magician's specialty! She had done as Kratia had asked, swallowed down her pride, and prepared a large scale magic attack before she had entered the facility.
[Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaahk!]
[Guoooooooooooh!]
Flame magic was so powerful that people often remarked that no other element could match it in terms of pure destructive capability. That destructive power, as well as fire's tendency to draw in its surrounding to increase its durability, were all closely connected to destruction and death.
The effect of her spell that she called 'Fire Demon's Grip' was impressive, and just as she'd wanted, the jungle was completely burnt and hundreds of monsters were killed in an instant. The flames didn't die out, as the destructive flames spread in every direction, and tormented the surrounding monsters.
”Hut, how is it...”
She was tired after casting such a spell and Prince turned around to the other two and was momentarily speechless. During the small time while she was casting her spell, hundreds of monsters were cut apart by Lee s.h.i.+n Woo while he sprinted around, but...
”Clear, clear, clear...”
She thought that Kratia wouldn't have any energy left after casting such a large scale ice spell at the beginning, but Kratia was aiming her orb with one hand to stop all the monsters that came towards them. Kratia used her other hand to create a magic circle to find all the magic traps and disarm them one by one. They were going through the training that the Royal Magic Leader had wanted!
”Hey, you said that was impossible before...”
”s.h.i.+n Woo's helping me out a lot, so I can do it now. I'm going to break through them all at once. You help too. Clear.”
It was then that Prince completely accepted it. Kratia wasn't just a higher level or had more magic than her, she was also superior in knowledge and understanding, both of which were essential for a magician!
