Leveling Endlessly with the Strongest System!

However, the red ape did have resistance against magic fire. Thus, it wasn’t feeling badly hurt.

It could feel its skin melting, and it raked up its brain to somehow put out the fire raging on its face. It threw caution to the wind along with its pride as it buried its face in the muddy ground.

The aura pressure acting on Delilah disappeared somewhere around that time.

“Teleport to safety now!”

Shadowless’s shout snapped her out of her daze.

She was granted a chance at life, and she took it with a smile, immediately teleporting far away with the dusk tree.

By the time the fire was out, she was nowhere to be seen in the vicinity.

The red ape glared at Shadowless, and he showed it his black teeth.

“Time’s up, buddy. You can no longer fight her. Your opponent is now me!” Shadowless said as the mana within him surged out and began to gather in a single spot above his palm.

The might of a true mythical mage was about to be released!

“How are you still alive?” The red ape asked, looking as bewildered as a curious newborn.

“Trade secret. Can’t share it with others.” Shadowless replied with a serious face.

He wouldn’t have bothered talking to the beast if his attack could charge up faster.

“I was wrong about you. You are not just some pest. You are worthy of me going berserk!” The red ape said as it went apeshit and activated the strongest offensive skill it had gained after advancing to the second level of the aura monster stage. It could only use it once a month, so it was saving it for the best time. But now that there was a chance that it could lose the dusk tree for good, it held nothing back.

Waves of lava flew out of the crevices and coiled around each other as they swirled up to the sky.

A hot and fiery lava tornado reached the sky and dropped on Shadowless.

At the sight of such a monstrosity, he showed not an ounce of fear.

“Your foolishness is applaudworthy! You gave me the time I needed to conjure my spell!” Shadowless said as he went against all expectations and jumped toward the lava tornado instead of retreating.

He waved his hand forward, a pale blue leaving his palm and flying ahead to meet the lava tornado in mid-air.

“Ridiculous!” The red ape scoffed, “What can something so small even do?”

“Size doesn’t determine the explosive power of a substance. It might be thousands of times than the lava tornado you created, but it packs quite the punch.” Shadowless said confidently.

Bomb!

The two met, and a great explosion ensured!

The eyes of the red ape almost popped out of their sockets, disbelief filled him to the core, and shock touched every fiber of his being as the shockwave emerging from the point of impact whipped him hard, blasting him away.

The lava tornado was vaporized when it came in contact with the blue dot!

Then it exploded, and the sky turned blue before explosive shockwaves burst outwards.

Thousands of trees snapped apart and fell to the ground, and a thousand-meter-wide crater appeared in the ground, the lava flowing out of the crevices quickly filling it.

“As expected, it’s somewhat comparable to a modern world nuke.” Shadowless thought as he saw the devastation caused by his true magic spell.

To explain it in detail, he released all the mana in his magic sea and compressed it so much that it became an extremely volatile and destructive dot, which was thousand times, if not more, stronger than the Spell Mana Blast.

Mana Blast was comparable to a hand grenade.

The explosive force carried by the blue dot, which Shadowless named the game changer, was as powerful as a thousand hand grenades exploding at the same time.

“It is not something to scoff at! The red ape is paying the price for its arrogance.” Shadowless looked in the direction it was blown away and only saw clouds of dust. “I wonder if it’s still alive?”

“What happened here?” asked the newcomer.

Shadowless’s emotionless eyes gleamed when he saw the owner of the voice. He explained everything to him. Roy felt impressed once he heard him out.

“Master, I didn’t let it harm her and also beat it back. Was my performance to your satisfaction?” Shadowless asked as he looked at Roy with those big wide childish eyes that showed his desire to be praised.

“You did a good job!” Roy said as he patted his shoulder.

“Thanks for the praise, master,” Shadowless said, bowing to him.

“I will take it from here. You return to the shadow realm.” Roy said, and Shadowless’s body broke down into a pool of darkness before he slid back into his creator’s shadow.

Roy looked around as he felt the ground under his feet vibrating. What followed next was the red ape stepping out of the dust with ten thousand pieces of stone hovering around it.

Its steps were unstable but powerful, and there were many wounds on its body. Most of them were skin wounds, and there was only one large laceration on its chest, leaking blood continuously. It was the only wound that wasn’t closing up.

“I am truly saying this out of concern for you. Return me my magic fruits and dusk tree, and I will let you go as if it never happened?” the red ape warned him.

Its warning fell on deaf ears.

“You must have gone nuts! Was your name on any of them? As far as I can remember, it was not. How can you ask for something that’s not yours to begin with? Not to mention, you attacked me first. If not for the fact I am better than you expected, I would have died.”

Roy pulled out the Moonlight sword and the Ghost Chaser sword and continued, “I wouldn’t reconcile with you no matter what you say or do!”
