Chapter 255 Stalling For Time!
—–
The self-proclaimed Servant of the Demon King of Miasma had never seen something like this in his entire life. Although he knew of “Reviving Magic” only the highest of Priests back in the Kingdom could perform it, and only if the body wasn’t as damaged as Lily ended as. Even more, the spell didn’t even worked through ways such as restructuring her entire body from scratch to the point even her broken equipment was back as pristine as it was before.
His red eyes were shocked, his face flabbergasted, and he couldn’t simply believe what he was seeing!
“S-She revived?! What is the meaning of this?! How? How is this possible?!” He wondered, suddenly remembering something.
“You…” The young sorcerer said, looking down at Lily. “You’re a Player, aren’t you?”
“I-I am! I won’t let you pass no matter what! Not even over my dead body!” Lily said firmly, as Jeremias’s face twisted with anger.
“Hmph, even if you can revive, your Level is too low! You cannot even compare with my Drakon and my Magic! Fine! Player or not, I’ll just have to kill you a hundred times if necessary!” Jeremias said.
He had heard that Players were people “chosen by the gods” and had the power to revive, alongside other perks at their disposal. However, most of them took a while to revive once dead, it was very strange that Lily was revived so quickly after her death.
Nonetheless, someone with such a twisted and vicious mind as him didn’t even cared, seeing Lily as a test subject. If she doesn’t die now, he’ll try anything else and kill her somehow.
A smile emerged on his lips.
“Heheheh, you will become my test subject! Kill her again! Fill her entire body with Miasma!” Laughed the wicked man, as Lily didn’t falter this time.
“If I can revive and barely feel anything when dying… then!”
Lily suddenly activated her Skills without even thinking, as if naturally. The power of Earth and the Spirits concentrated within her body, as the very earth making this cave seemed to want to help her. This was part of the Brownie’s special racial trait, [Spirit of the Earth]!
While Dryads and Ents received the aid of the forest, boosting their stats and more, Brownies had to draw the strength of Earth itself, durable, powerful, and strong, holding everything together.
“Clay Wall won’t do…! Mountain Wall!”
BAAAM!
Lily hit the ground with her hammer, as the entire ground shook. One of the nearby Drakons jumped towards her to stop her, but an enormous wall resembling a tiny mountain emerged, crushing the monster into the ceiling!
BOOOOOMMMM!!!
“W-What?!” Jeremias was shocked, looking at the tiny Brownie surprised.
“GRAAARR! GROOARR!”
The Drakon was of course not dead, barely having taken any damage at all! However, the beast got stuck in the ceiling as the strong Mountain Wall was taking a while to slowly crack and break.
“Ah, my entire MP pool is gone, but I did something pretty awesome, and I ended blocking the path as well.” Thought Lily.
“DIE!” Jeremias furious fired a spear made of darkness he conjured on the spot, as it reached Lily.
“Ah!”
CLAAASH!
Her entire body was impaled by the spear, as it slowly dissipated into light, restructured itself and revived Lily once more!
“Huh?! You’re back so soon? So your cooldown is… ten seconds?! That’s nothing…!” Jeremias muttered, gritting his teeth. “Well no matter! Die again- agh?!”
“Mountain Wall!”
Lily conjured Mountain Wall before Jeremias could conjure his magic, as the moment her body began to restructure she forcefully charged her intent into conjuring the spell, conjuring it almost instantly after reviving!
TRUUUUMMMM…!
The enormous wall resembling a small mountain surged from the floor before her, reaching the ceiling and stopping Jeremias from attacking her, impacting the Drakon he was mounting and making the beast trip into the floor. Drakons were rather clumsy creatures by themselves.
“D-Damn it! Kill her! KILL!” Jeremias cried angrily, as the three other Drakon reached Lily, breaking her apart into shreds!
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
“And just after she revives, instantly kill her again! Keep her dying like that!” The evil sorcerer said, smiling. “I’ve already figured out your timing, stupid shrimp. You’re not getting out of my permanent death trap!”
FLASH!
However, Lily suddenly was revived right behind the Drakons!
“Huh?! She appeared behind them?!”
Apparently, if the system saw that the life of a revived player was threatened by nearby enemies, the revived player would simply appear far away from them, sometimes even behind monsters for a surprise attack. .𝒐𝙧𝒈
Lily thought as she slowly revived, that Planta had told her things about the game she could use right now… one of its greatest factors when conjuring magic was… imagination! The ability to create magic and skill synergy was the key to conjuring strong magic despite being low-level.
“Imagination… Then how about a big fist?!”
All of Lily’s Mana gathered within the floor below her, as the Spirits of Earth and the soil itself answered her call. The very material this cave was made of began to shapeshift into an enormous, twenty-meter-big hand! Thanks to her increased MP recovery due to the newbie’s assistance, she was rocking it!
TRUUUMMMM…!
“Wh-What the hell?!” Jeremias asked in shock, as he saw with horror such high class magic that not even he could ever fathom to conjure! …Although it was all for show, its total power level was way below the Drakon or his own magic.
BAAAAMMM!
However, as it was made from the rocks, ores, and crystals of this entire cave, which might even be of high quality, something very interesting happened. The spell suddenly became as strong as the materials that composed it!
The enormous fist hit one of the Drakons, pushing it down into the floor, then it gave another punch at the Drakon holding Jeremias, throwing the delicate sorcerer across the air.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOM!
“Unnnggh…?! What is this?! How come a Level 1 Garbage Player like you can conjure this magic?!” The young man asked.
“It is just Beginner’s aid.” Lily answered.
