The Dragon'S Blue Gem
Chapter 49 [Facing The Lich (2) ]
Aqua glanced at Citrine who was smoothing with high concentration.
"I have to give Brother Rin time. Once he's done chanting, this fight will be over."
Aqua has a plan, the boy knows about Saintess' special magic. A Saintess special Legend-level light magic regardless of its usage level. Of course there is a requirement for the activation of this magic, in addition to requiring an unusually large mana, Saintess must face off against the dark magic user.
"In the game, Brother Rin is a Saintess candidate with an unusually great talent for light magic. That's why I want to make him the 7th member of Raven! Priest Raven!!"
"Because of the Saintess descendant's older brother, using Saintess' special magic seems to be possible. At first I was just guessing, but he could. Awesome!!"
Before the fight started, Aqua had already made a mana transfer to Citrine just in case the worst happened. And sure enough, they had to use it.
"I'm grateful that Lich's character is too arrogant. He won't care for Kak Rin because I've suppressed his aura to the lowest!"
The boy took out his dagger and grinned bitterly.
"Now what should I do?"
⟨ Feel these 9 gates of my death with your own body!! ⟩
[First Gate! The Sea of Hell ]
The area around Aqua stands suddenly started to move like a wave. Quickly the floor melted, turning Aqua's footing into Lava.
"!"
For creatures that cannot fly. Such an area is very dangerous.
[ The Upland ]
Aqua made the land that had not yet become Lava soar high and ascended it. The child also provides reinforcement and durability to the soil so as not to melt. Even so the heat released was enough to roast Aqua alive.
[ Ice Surface ]
Aqua put her hand on the ground. Instantly the ground where Aqua stood froze.
"This way I've overcome my footing!"
⟨ Do you think I'll just shut up to see that?! ⟩
[Second Gate! Hell Guard Snake ]
Lava, who had been calm, became vacillating. Something inside the lava moved closer to Aqua.
A three-headed snake over 10 meters tall was spitting fire from within the lava. Aqua swiftly made a protector from the ground and ice.
[ The Glacier Wall ]
No fire broke through that glacier wall. All the flames instantly extinguished the moment it touched him. But the giant snake smashed Aqua's ice wall with its physical strength alone to shatter into pieces.
"Damn!! This huge creature is troublesome!!!"
Aqua turned her head towards Lich who was silently watching.
"Why doesn't he attack again or activate the third gate?!"
"..... Don't-don't..."
[Magic Missile ]
To prove his guess, Aqua attacked Lich with basic magic. The three-headed snake immediately blocked the line of fire so that the Lich was not scratched.
"I suspected! So!!"
Aqua clucked in annoyance, now that the boy had lost his already hard-earned footing.
[ Teak Vines ]
A vines came out of Aqua's hands and hung on the ceiling. Thanks to that, Aqua did not fall into the magma sea. But hanging like that was very uncomfortable in the fight.
"That damn lich seems to have trouble activating 9 gates like me that can't open 7 ice spears. Plus, the creature cannot use any other magic when it activates the gates of hell. This is a great opportunity!!"
The serpent approached Aqua and attacked her. Several times Aqua dodged and hung from one tendril to another while fending off the hard scales of the snake with her dagger. The clang for the sake of twangs sounded to fill the room. A voice that sounded loud but flicked those ears was unceasing.
The boy also cast a lot of magic from the middle and high levels to defeat the giant snake until finally two of the three heads were separated from his body.
The disgusting green blood splashed everywhere, soaking Aqua's body. The boy wiped it with his sleeves.
"Hahh. hahh... haaahh... eventually die too."
⟨ Can defend against my second gate. You are great too, son! But don't get me wrong we're facing only 2 of my 9 ⟩ gates
"Whisper! I know that too. Brother Rin should be able to activate his magic before the 5th gate opens. I just have to hold on!!"
[Third Gate: God of Fire's Dance ]
The magma flowing under Aqua exploded like boiling water. Aqua's feeling is not good. And sure enough, if the previous one who attacked Aqua was a snake from the magma, this time the magma itself seemed to try to eat Aqua.
"The danger!!!"
Aqua constantly created tendrils to dodge magma attacks. But being in the magma field itself was already troublesome, now the magma was chasing him instead. It's a nightmare...
⟨ Kahahahaha!!!! Ahahaha!!!! How's it?! You can't beat this one!! ⟩
Aqua frowned and clucked in annoyance.
"It is true, at least that the snake can still be defeated. But this?!!"
⟨ Looks like you're having trouble, boy. Let me add to the difficulty for you!! ⟩
"Aren't you supposed to lighten it?" cananda Aqua's. Keep in mind that during this conversation, Aqua always tried to avoid and hang on.
[The Fourth Gate! Magma Cannon ]
This time the magma at the end of the pond formed a cannon. The cannon shot out a half-meter large amount of magma. Dodging from the pursuit of magma at the third gate alone, Aqua was already in trouble. Now he also had to dodge the magma attack.
"Aren't you a Lich Necromancy?!! Why are you playing with fire?!!!" squeals Aqua was annoyed.
⟨ Hahahaha!!! Since you're going to die, let me give you a little honor to know the information about me. Before I became a Lich, I was a pyromancer! ⟩
"Pyromancers?! Worth it other than dark magic, the fire magic is amazing."
Aqua gulped, she was already at the tip of the horn now. The boy glanced at Citrine who was about to finish chanting. Aqua smiled, now that she can reply.
"A pyromancer is a snowmancer's nemesis. Then let me make this hot room a little cooler!"
⟨ ?! ⟩
Aqua stopped evading. The boy threw himself on the ceiling. Aqua's feet were already treading on the ceiling. With ice magic, his legs were embedded and made him not fall.
The boy stuffed his dagger into the inventory and took out a magic wand from there. Witches do not need a magic wand to use magic, but the existence of a magic wand can accelerate the formation of magic and strengthen it. Aqua gets a magic wand as a reward for her appointment as Prince.
While running around the ceiling to avoid gunfire, Aqua continued to swing her staff and formed a giant magic circle that was 20-30m in diameter above and below the magma.
"I'm grateful the whole gate attack is fire magic. That way, I can clean them up at once!!"
