Volume 4: Chapter 29

Even if the mediators armor is made of mithril, it still has weaknesses.

Mithril is rare and expensive. It has a high affinity with mana. By using mana during processing, it is possible to increase the metals hardness and resistance to magic.

The mediators armor is processed to be harder than steel and is also capable of resisting magic.

(However, metal is still metal.)

As the mediator slipped out of the hellfire, I was already readying another magic. Flame Tornado, which combinesFire MagicandWind Magic.

Ku

No matter how excellently the armor can resist magic, the wind pressure acting on its surface is a physical phenomenon. The mediator was blown away by the Flame Tornado but he made a full turn in mid-air and landed.

He immediately charged at me again.

I repeated the same attack once again.

Since the effect of Flame Tornado is resisted by the mithril armor, there is no problem with decreasing the mana I use for it. But even so, I had already used more than half.

How many times are you going to do this!

The mediator took on the Flame Tornado from the front and crouched down on the ground to withstand the wind.

The distance between us was less than 20 meters.

Die this time!

Magic doesnt work, after all. No, to be precise, no attack at all will be effective on the mediator unless it affects the core in the body.

The mediator charged at me, convinced of his victory.

I have been waiting for this.

Its about time.

One more magic will seal the deal and I had already decided what magic it will be.

Muh!

ItsWater Magic.

With this magic, I can not only produce water but also ice. So I erected a thick wall of ice in front of me.

Did you think something like this would work?

The mediator casually swung his fist to destroy the ice wall.

!?

The ice wall exploded into a storm of white snowflakes and covered the mediators body.

The armor, which was heated through multiple Flames Tornados, had become so heated as if it had been put into a blast furnace.

Immediately right after, the armors temperature dropped to the point where even a banana would be frozen solid like a rock.

The ice I produced throughWater Magicis not any normal ice.

It is possible to lower the temperature around the ice to below freezing point because, while being a magic that manipulates water, it is also a magic that lowers temperature.

The frost-covered mediator stopped dead in his tracks, wildly confused.

Now burn.

Right then, I produced an ultra-high temperature flame to the limits of my ability.

Like I said, magic will never

Going back and forth between extreme high and extreme low temperatures. Moreover, because it uses magic as the medium, it is possible to create an environment that is normally inconceivable.

Mithril is a metal.

Metal fatigue naturally occurs in any metal.

A crack ran through the mediators armor.

What?!

A big crack formed in the center of his chest not long after.

I had already preparedEarth Magicto be doubly certain. I shot a mass of rock right at the mediators chest, who stood shocked. The chest piece of the armor broke apart and shattered.

A core that gave off a golden light was exposed.

I got you now.I said, with a grin.

?!!

I saw the mediator discomposed and faltering for the first time.

Its my turn to charge at him this time. If I grab that core, its my win.

When I reached out my right hand, the mediator tried to kick me away with his left leg in a panic.

I stepped on his left leg instead and pinned it to the ground so that he couldnt escape.

The armor on the thighs cracked and black flames spewed out.

You!

I can break your armor without a weapon. Just like peeling a boiled egg.

Ku!

The mediator jumped back with all his might, escaping out of my leg pin.

And he raised both hands to the skies. This is bad,World Rulerreported.

Now that he is at a disadvantage, what will the mediator do next?

Escape.

UOOOOH!

I caused an explosion ofFire Magicbehind me and closed the distance instantly with a rocket jump. The movement which imitates the Mithril-rank adventurer Crysta was at a practical level, but there was still room for improvementspecifically, my shoes and clothes were scorched.

Whagaho!

I landed a knee kick square on the mediators face utilizing the momentum from the rocket jump.

I felt the helmet cracking.

The mediator fell to the ground.

The top of his head was cracked and black flames spewed out as if it were blood spilling out.

Dah!

I tried to step down on the core in his exposed chest, but the mediator immediately rolled away and escaped.

I tried to step down on him in succession, but he evaded all of it and escaped he jumped away with his arm and took a distance.

I couldnt give chase.

The place where the mediator landed was where Sumeria-san was lying.

O Child of Disaster, if you get any closer, Ill kill this underground human.

It seems that the mediator has finally fallen to that low of a level.

I was not surprised or afraid of this situation I simply felt resentment from the bottom of my heart.

Dont hurt Sumeria-san.

You just stay over there.

Sumeria-san had been lying there ever since I pulled out the skill orb.

No one helped her.

As I took a quick glance at the surroundings, there were several underground people who were secretly watching the battle from behind the debris, but nobody ever tried to help Sumeria-san.

I might have misunderstood the underground people.

I returned the skill orb so that Sumeria-san will be saved, but these people dont seem to care about her.

The mediator raised his hands up to the skies as before.

You must be eliminated without fail. You are the enemy of the world.

A sphere of darkness covered the surroundings around the mediator.

Is it possible to teleport with that?

The mediator was showing a lot of composure now in other words, the sphere of darkness is also a defensive wall that repels attacks from the outside.

Is that so?

I extended my right hand.

In that case, you are my enemy.

Immediately before the sphere of darkness completely wrapped the mediator, something like white pores stuck to his body.

I usedFlower Magicto increase the amount exponentially.

Wha!?

Mica mushrooms are cultivated on the roofs of almost every building.

Spores are everywhere in this city.

If I cant attack from the outside, I just have to attack from the inside.

Innumerous mica mushrooms grew from the pores at an expanded rate and destroyed the sphere of darkness from the inside.

The broken darkness crumbled away like dust.

Until the very end, you were a bastard.

The sphere was broken and the mediators chest was completely defenseless. I shot a rock bullet that I had already prepared withEarth Magicat his chest.

The rock shattered the golden core.
