Novel Full Chapter 738 - Ambush Once More!
-----
Manationia was not going to let this animal beat her down! Even though it hurt like hell, she stood up valiantly confronting the beast, her resolve was blazing, she was gonna do it!
"GRUUOOH!"
The beast, however hit her with its tentacles, and threw her down into the ground.
SMACK!
"GEEH…!"
Octo facepalmed…
"Are you serious, this girl… Stand up! Come on, give it a kick!" said Octo.
"Ugh… Recovery…"
Manationia covered her body with healing magic, the pain was now gone, and she decided to jump into the sky! Reaching up to the giant Titanosquid and kicking it from above!
CLASH!
"GRUUUOH?!"
BOOOM!!!
The massive beast was suddenly thrown into the floor by a powerful force it could not easily resist, its hard shell was actually shattering!
And it was knocked out!
"Eh?!"
"You did it, brat! See? It wasn't so hard!" said Octo.
"I-It was hard!" said Manationia.
"Not really!" sighed Octo.
"I got beaten down… Agh…" sighed Manationia.
"But you did it well, the reinforcement of the body is working wonderfully, you didn't even break a single bone of your body." Said Octo.
"Well, that's because of the spell! And… it still hurt so I had to use Recovery…" sighed Manationia.
"Well, now that we are done, store the corpse inside your shadow, sell it off for money or- Oh! Make it an Undead!" said Octo.
"This big thing an Undead?!" asked Manationia.
"Yeah! Just do it." said Octo.
"Hmmm… Alright…" said Manationia.
She made the Titanosquid into an Undead. The monstrous beast stood up once more, now infused with its own soul taking over its corpse… its body grew stronger, however, as it was risen by a strong highly magic-power-enhanced magician such as Manationia.
"GRRUUUOOHH…!"
"Good! Good! I guess that's that. Let's go hunt even more beasts, you gotta build up a big army, Manationia, as many beasts as you can!" said Octo.
"What do you have on mind?" asked Manationia.
"Hehehe… You know what they say, strength is in numbers!" said Octo.
"I don't really believe that… there are Sages that can do a lot of stuff!" said Manationia.
"I see… Oh well, you're not a Sage yet, so you better grab as many Undead as you can- Actually you're stronger than one but still, trust me." Said Octo.
"Okay, I will trust you." Sighed Manationia.
The party then wandered around the forest for the rest of the day, Manationia learned many other spells in the way, Octo was teaching her all the basic spells for her body reinforcement and then taught her how to use weapon techniques without weapons! Weapon techniques, in a way, were part of the War and Strength Attribute Magic, and therefore she had to just learn this attribute and use the spells.
At the end of the day, Manationia's kicks were carrying the phantasmal red aura of spears, her beak attacks were like deadly axes, and her feathers could be launched out of her body as deadly daggers!
In just a day!
"You're really a genius! That apple really did it for you. I want one too!" sighed Octo, he was jealous of how awesome Manationia was.
"Hehehe, I guess I've gained some confidence." Said Manationia as she smiled smugly.
Behind her there was an almost 50 meter big pile of beasts!
She had hunted almost a hundred! From tiny to big!
"Now make them Undead! You already got your army of Undead! I am so proud of you, kids grow so fast, sniffle…" cried Octo. His single eye cried a river.
"Alright!"
Manationia raised her gigantic army of Undead beasts, and stored them in her seemingly endless Shadow Storage…
As the day was coming to an end and she decided to move back to town, a shady group of black-robbed people was tailing her from behind!
"Huh?!"
She quickly noticed them, as the same cursed and poisoned daggers from before began to fall over her!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Manationia jumped away from danger swiftly as she looked at her adversaries, they were over ten this time, and were all crawling and moving over the trees, they were in a complete advantage!
She had evaded the incredibly precise and fast attacks, however, even though the weapons they fired also exploded into poisonous smoke!
"Poison?! Ugh… Antidote! Anti-Poison Veil!"
Manationia used some basic spells, healing her poison and covering her body with a transparent bright veil that negated the poison status.
"S-She's good at magic, she completely disabled the poison!"
"Just kill her! Don't speak!"
She heard them whisper with one another thanks to her enhanced senses, as Manationia quickly expanded her shadows!
"Come out!" she said.
RUMBLE!
"W-What is that?!"
"A-A Titanosquid!"
"So many beasts!"
"Wait, ware those three guys the ones that died yesterday?!"
"Agghh!"
Manationia summoned her Undead army in a flash! She quickly ordered them all to defeat her enemies! The undead quickly marched forward, using their unnaturally higher strength than when they were alive, and some of them even used magic out of nowhere!
Normal animals were not able to wield magic, but Undead became monsters, and naturally gained mana in large quantities, alongside magic affinities. Naturally, as they wanted to defeat their enemies, they were able to conjure magic!
Phantom blue flames, spears made of shadows, flashing beams of light, cutting winds, falling boulders, freezing attacks, and even lightning began to fall over everyone!
Manationia was so strong her Undead developed super quickly and were even evolving their magical power as things happened!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ten assassins were being overwhelmed! Many of them were grabbed by the Titanosquid Undead and crushed to death! A few of them were ganged over many tiny critters, and another few were blasted into pieces by constantly being bathed in magic attacks!
Octo looked at the scene as Manationia seemed a bit more filled with resolve, well, a little bit more.
"You're already looking like Veronica a lot! You'll be a fine priestess..." Said Octo.
The attackers were all mercilessly slaughtered quickly, and Manationia raised them as Undead right away…
"Phew, I got some questions for you guys… But for now I want to go to sleep…" she sighed.
