Acquired the EX-class attribute ‘Transcendence Copy’ - Chapter 106



106 – Fake John

How long did he walk?

The darkness covering all sides made me forget the sense of time. An hour seems to have passed, but I’m not sure.

Walking aimlessly toward an unknown exit was no different from waiting without a promise. The more you walk, the more your mind gets tired and your senses become dull.

Because of the twist of mana, even her breath makes her feel uncomfortable. Her rapidly draining stamina and mana stimulated Sara’s sense of crisis.

Thinking about it again, it’s a vicious magic circle. This is a space set up to thoroughly hunt wizards.

It was dangerous to stay long.

“Where is the exit?”

Sarah murmured to herself something she wouldn’t normally do. What the illusion of the magic circle said just now bothered me.

-We Will also play We With each other. Well, bye. A loner.

-It’s quite tiring to hang out with Leoris-nim’s Friends.

How do Arsha and Sierra see themselves?

Before entering her academy, Arsha was a troublesome acquaintance. She looked like a tomboyish neighbor when she challenged herself, a wizard, to a duel while being a prosecutor.

For some reason, after entering her academy, Arsha’s attitude changed a lot. She and her now drink tea together and have a light chat.

Sarah thought of her as her friend. She, Arsha, too, will consider herself her friend. Maybe.

They met Sierra through an acquaintance of John. She was a commoner like John, and unlike John, who didn’t feel much like a commoner, she was a true commoner. She still remembers how embarrassed she was when she first met herself.

Now it has developed into a place where we chat like Arsha. Sometimes, she even embarrasses herself by asking embarrassingly personal questions. Despite the barriers of her identity, Sierra was a dear friend to Sara.

Sara’s thoughts on the two are the same.

Both are irreplaceable friends.

A treasure-like bond obtained at the academy.

However, I don’t know if the other side will think so either.

“Miscellaneous thoughts…. This is probably what the other person wants.”

Erasing the resources in the brain with useless worries is to fall for the enemy’s shallow tricks. Sara got her heart.

“Puuuheung-!”

In front of Sarah, a monster that vomited an ominous sound appeared.

A bull-faced bipedal monster. They wore sacrificial clothes that would have been used in ancient religious ceremonies.

Holding in his right hand is a huge halberd.

It is a halberd that seems to weigh more than 20 kg even when viewed with an eye. Even in a world full of darkness, the silvery ax blade reflected its brilliance.

The monster that appeared in the dark labyrinth was the Minotaur.

Not just one. After the first Minotaur broke through the cracks in space, the second and third Minotaurs appeared one after another. It was as if the air was vomiting a monster.

“I was bored, but it worked. Aunt Viette taught me that there is nothing better than a magic blast to change the atmosphere.”

Sarah’s eyes were full of life. As the bull monster pointed her halberd at him, the wrinkles in her hair cleared as if they had been ironed.

I prefer this. An intense battle that can shake off your thoughts.

‘There are five opponents in total.’

There is not much mana available. Furthermore, judging from the state of mana in this space, it is impossible to cast full-power magic.

Conservatively speaking of the fighting power of the Minotaur, this situation was a crisis. Possibly, an unfavorable situation in which you may risk your life.

However, the eldest daughter of the Leoris family does not lose her cool judgment even in such a situation. Her magic burns like a burning flame, but her judgments cool like the autumn frost.

‘It’s not the time to save on attributes.’

Sarah’s sapphire eyes shone brightly like the stars in the sky. The “Sage’s Eye” Receives the master’s call and searches for enemies.

‘The Minotaur’s mana is yellow.’

It means an earth property monster. This is common sense, so pass.

‘The skills used are dash and spear slash.’

Sarah’s vast database of knowledge summarizes the Minotaur’s information captured in “Sage’s Eye”.

What kind of attributes the opponent has, what skills they use, and even how they fight.

Sarah’s eyes told the owner everything.

If you are a landlord, you are in trouble.

Design the optimal battle strategy based on the collected information. The Minotaur’s combat method is to close the distance with a dash and then attack with a spear slash.

It’s simple enough to make you yawn, but it’s a solid strategy that’s hard to catch off guard. If the skill level is high enough, it’s like a macro that shoots and presses the wizard without any variables.

However, the opponent was bad. No matter how much she was inside the black magic circle, Sara was not a weakling who could be overwhelmed by mere monsters.

‘The weakness of the Earth attribute is the Water attribute.’

To Sara, who freely handles various attributes like Viet Leoris, revealing her attributes and skills is about halfway lost. Of course, she wasn’t exposed because the Minotaur wanted it.

“Water Cannon.”

The mana in the body drains like the ebb tide. Due to the interference of the magic circle, I felt that the mana efficiency had drastically decreased. Originally, it should have been activated with only 80% of the mana consumed.

A rough stream of water gushes out of the air like a waterfall. The streams of water converged into one point.

Water streams gathered as if attracted by gravity made a small water bomb. Sara aimed it and fired it at a group of minotaurs.

“Stop smelling and take a bath.”

To fire magic before the opponent increases distance with the dash skill.

It looks simple, but it is an attack that requires a lot of quickness. Dash skills are much simpler than magic skills, so when a wizard and a warrior fight without rules, it is usually the warrior who takes the first attack.

Kwakbang-!

The power of magic was sufficient. It was a magic created by accurately analyzing the Minotaur’s mana.

Considering the advantage of the attribute, it was right that all Minotaurs should be cleaned up with this one shot. However.

“Purureut-!!!”

A Minotaur with a furious expression stood still.

The other four tumbled to the floor, just as Sara expected. Then, the body turns to powder and disappears. It seemed that the monsters who retired in this magic circle were absorbed into the magic circle again.

‘Is there one left?’

The attribute of the guy that can be seen with [Sage’s Eye] Is the earth attribute.

It is not much different from other minotaurs. That Minotaur was at the forefront, not even using a dead comrade as a shield to save his life.

‘Wait. The mana flow was twisted. Could it be that Halberd?’

The mana around the halberd held by the Minotaur is distorted. At first, I thought it was just a distortion caused by the nature of this magic circle. However, if you look closely, the degree is different from the surroundings.

Too-kwang!

I couldn’t think of anything. The Minotaur attempts to approach with a mighty leap. The Minotaur’s body, which used the ‘Dash’ skill, flew like an arrow.

In a fight between a wizard and a warrior, giving them distance is a surefire shortcut. Of course, the magician’s defeat.

“Knockback!”

Casted a magic that bursts air and pushes opponents away. It is one of the basic magics mastered by wizards, who are poison in close combat.

However, Sara’s knockback didn’t work. The cause was Halberd again.

‘The halberds of other minotaurs are different! It’s absorbing magic!’

It is a type of weapon commonly referred to as a magic devourer. It was a weapon that went well with this magic circle, the tomb of wizards.

“Shield! Shield! Shield!”

Since she failed to keep her distance, Sarah immediately went into a defensive posture. She puts on a three-layered shield in consideration of being torn apart by magic eaters.

Wheein-!

As expected, the first one was torn too easily.

Zeeing-!

The second one also cracked like a piece of paper.

Ting!

A halberd that comes in third and barely stops.

The attack was blocked, but in terms of the mana invested, there was no big difference from allowing a blow.

‘Is this the end?’

Running mana.

A melee warrior type monster that is like a natural enemy to the magician herself.

Even the weapon in the hands of a monster is a magic devourer.

I couldn’t think of anything worse than this. Since Sarah was a magical genius, this trap, which only targeted wizards, felt all the more terrifying.

The future that cannot be seen even with the “Eyes of the wise”.

The Minotaur’s halberd lifts up as if aiming at the sky. When that halberd slammed down, his own body would split like firewood.

Surprisingly, there was no fear. Only a faint smile comes out.

From noble mtl dot com

Maybe it was because it was such an empty end for a daughter of the Leoris family.

The moment I gave up everything like that.

“Miss Sarah.”

I heard someone’s voice. The voice of someone I miss so much.

“John?”

John’s voice could not be heard.

That voice awakened Sara’s spirit.

“The enemy is a halberd, not a minotaur. Non-attribute magic, breaking.”

“!?”

John’s whisper taught Sarah the strategy. Sarah’s eyes flashed open.

Unable to determine authenticity.

All you have left is time to use one magic spell.

Even the remaining mana was barely breakable.

Sarah, without hesitation, implemented the ‘Breaking’ technique mentioned by John’s voice.

With that voice like an auditory hallucination, Sarah risked her own destiny.

“Breaking!”

Concentrate your mind enough to lose your soul. It was the first time in my life that I cast magic with such concentration, without exaggerating or adding anything.

Bad-!

A cobweb-like incontinence occurred in the halberd held by the Minotaur. At the same time, cracks form in the Minotaur’s body.

Chaejaejaeng-!

A halberd that shatters like a fallen mirror.

The Minotaur with his halberd disappeared like a weapon.

‘I won!’

Shortly before feeling relieved that she had escaped from the pit of death, Sarah turned her gaze to identify the owner of the hushed voice.

“John!”

There was John. There are not many men on the continent with such a dazzling appearance.

The appearance is obviously John Baker.

However, that couldn’t be the real John.

‘Wait! Could that be an illusion?’

Sarah made such a judgment based on cool reason.
