I Never Run Out of Mana - Chapter 83

Chapter 83

83 . Thank You for the Meal (2)

The attacks of the assassins that aimed to get the first strike were blocked by my Mana Shield .

Since they were high levels with great skill, the shield shook a lot .

However, the shield would not be broken unless a skill beyond rank was used .

Even if they did, my other shields would block it, and the Mana Shield itself had a 30% chance to block it as well .

“Oraaaa!”

They were divided into 8 squads .

One of them who hid their form reappeared with a yell .

Casting enchant to power up his assassination weapon, he threw it at me .

It was an attack from one of the leaders of the squadrons .

On top of that, those around him were pouring all their buff skills onto him .

“Focus on buffing our squad leader!”

“Here . Take this!”

The throwing weapon left his hand, flying with deadly intent .

The attack was buffed by several classes, raising the damage and attack speed .

The speed and power was confirmed by the shockwave it gave off as it flew .

-SLICE

The attack flew true towards me .

However, such a pathetic attack only became fodder for my Mana Shield .

Despite the attack being a failure, the owner of the weapon continued to mix in Teleport and stealth skills to launch rapid attacks in succession .

However, against someone like me with an ultimate ability, he easily lost his life .

“KUWUHUCK!”

I wouldn’t allow any more attacks .

Measuring up his power and sensibility, he appeared to be quite weaker than Jin .

I guess it was unfair of me to compare him to someone who worked directly underneath Joker .

I grabbed him by his neck .

Looking directly into his eyes, I spoke .

“The tom foolery stops here . ”

“KUH…KUHHUCK!”

His neck was twisted due to the incredible amount of force I held him with, and his face was a mess with all the tears and snot that covered it .

Flailing about, it seemed that he couldn’t breathe properly .

Struggling with his entire body, he suddenly looked up .

Almost as if seeing something that he shouldn’t have, his eyes that were bloodshot due to the vessels popping only great bigger .

Only then did he stop resisting, almost as if giving up on everything .

His breathing didn’t stop, but he had accepted the tragedy that was about to unfold .

That was right .

The upper portion of the dungeon was filled by 6 flaming meteors .

They were witnessing meteors covered in dark flames, something they’ve never seen or heard of before .

The amount, light, and size was enough to make them cower in fear .

Upon seeing this spectacle, the other squadron leaders began to shout urgently .

“De-Defensive formation!”

“Block it! Block!”

Following their orders, each member began to cast their skills .

Out of the bunch, the skill that caught my eye was from a shaman class, who used the skill call Cube .

It spawned room big enough to fit everyone in his squad, causing his squadron to be hidden from sight .

“Hide and seek, huh… . Then a crazy ‘it’ will find you . ”

It was amusing to see the spectacle before me through the Eye of Insight .

They had gathered into a small room, each casting their own defensive skills .

The location was hidden, far away from where the other radical faction members were .

A 50 member squadron had used all their defensive skill, so they must’ve thought the Cube was a safe haven .

But those thoughts would change very soon .

“I wonder if that could block a transcended Meteor?”

I spread the grouped 6 meteors apart .

Each one landed exactly where I wanted them to .

-CRASH!

-BOOM!

“Ku… Kuuck!”

Its power was something else .

The Cube that was far away ceased to exist without a trace .

Not even their corpses could be found .

I only had used a third of the meteors, but to think that it would do this much .

In the previous fight with Noblesse, I had used a level 40 Meteor Call .

However, they gathered in a defensive formation and successfully blocked it .

I guess the difference now is that in the past, the skill required casting time and had a cooldown, so continuous follow up attacks couldn’t be done .

However, the transcended Meteor’s destructive force couldn’t even be compared to its predecessor .

Forget about preparing to defend, they couldn’t even utter a squeak .

It wasn’t just the Cube area that suffered like so .

“KUHAACK!”

“kUU… KUAAA!”

Once near 400 strong, now only about 50 remained at the most .

Even those that survived were coughing up blood, holding onto their bodies with what few limbs they had left .

The man that I held in my grip had long since perished, hanging limply .

The temperature of the dungeon was enough to cook the flesh of the average civilian .

The scent of blood only grew thicker with the heat .

I was locating their position for a follow up attack .

The expression that Ghost had on, however, was not pleasant for me .

Roughly 60 were still guarding him .

In between them, I could see Ghost smiling .

He had lost hundreds of his followers in less than a minute .

Perhaps even excited at this scene, his body began to shake .

“Disgusting pervert . ”

I couldn’t help but comment .

I quickly decimated those that were left in one swoop .

After all, I didn’t have any time to waste on them .

While I was catching my breath, Butcher’s Sword began to slightly vibrate .

‘Stats!’

They had vanished without a trace .

All of them should be at least level 300 Awakeneds .

No . They were probably far higher in terms of levels .

I was able to steal 5% worth of stats from all of them .

The amount should be tremendous .

A level 300 Awakened roughly had 1500 points of stats .

5% of that would be 75 .

I would be gaining stats worth 15 level ups .

On top of that, I had taken out 400 or so .

‘75 times 400 would be… . 3… 30,000?’

I was already achieving cheat like growth from my limitless mana .

But the amount of stats this crazy sword absorbed could be considered even more cheat like .

However, out of the stats I gained, some belonged in the mana stats, and those were useless to me .

Strength: 100

Mana: 100

Dexterity: 50

Stamina: 50

If we take into account that some had the stats such as this, the stats I would be able to gain per sacrifice would be something like this .

Strength: 5

Mana: 5

Dexterity: 2 . 5

Stamina: 2 . 5

I would be like so .

I wasn’t sure how many points I would receive if I took out the mana stats from the healers and magician classes, but it would still be a crazy amount of growth .

Excited, I was about to check the stats on my sword .

“Beautiful . Your ability is incredible!”

Ghost put on a playful childish look as he trotted towards me, clapping his hands together .

Those that guarded him followed behind him .

It wouldn’t be long before they’d lose their lives to the black flames .

Were they coming to attack me without giving me any time?

I checked the cooldown of my shields quickly .

The grip on my sword tightened a little further .

Ghost spoke .

“Level 200 Meteor? You’re able to create 3 per cast? Wow . Your ability is… really tasty looking…”

“You’re crazy . ”

“To annihilate 400 opponents instantly . ”

“They were your subordinates . I heard that you went through something similar 15 years ago . ”

“Kyaha! That’s right . Was it like that? But . . that’s because they were weak? Because . They . Were . Weak . ”

“… . . ”

“If I think about it now, it’s embarrassing how I was with them, even for a moment . ”

“I don’t want to hear it . Are you going to fight together? Or should I start sending off your subordinates first?”

“Hm… But I want to see more though? That tasty looking ability, I mean . ”

“As you wish . ”

He looked towards his guardians behind him and spoke .

“You lot can’t die in one hit! Alright?”

“…Yes, leader!”

“We’ll take care of it . ”

“Kuhuhu . That’s right! Give me the best show… Now . Go, quickly!”

“Yes!”

They quickly charged in .

Each keeping a certain distance from me, they had surrounded me .

‘Not planning to die in one hit by not grouping up?’

That wasn’t a problem for me at all .

Cooldown? Cast time? That didn’t exist for me .

It was just that I’d have to fire in several directions .

If it came down to skill control, I was confident due to casting more than anyone else .

Flaming meteors flew down from above .

Not towards those surrounding me, but towards Ghost .

However .

“Hm? This is against the rules . ”

‘What! This is impossible . ’

The Meteor Call that I cast towards him had disappeared without a trace .

The speed of my attack doesn’t even give time for defensive measures .

However, that staff held in his hand had sucked in all the meteors .

Not only did his class and ability stay hidden, but a weapon that absorbs even Meteor .

I didn’t expect it to be an easy fight, but now I was thinking that it was going to be difficult .

“How dare you! Protect our leader!”

“No, no . Don’t worry about me and continue to fight . I’m really looking forward to this . ”

“Yes?… Yes!”

-SLICE! STAB! SWISH!

The confusion that Ghost caused only lasted a moment .

They began to pour their attacks at me .

A man with a spear and axe came towards me .

Spinning his body rapidly, he neared me .

“Whirlwind?”

No .

My shield was being slice apart .

It was definitely a skill beyond ranking .

Mana Shield wasn’t able to activate, but instead Reflect Shield was being cut down while retaliating .

The skill effect looked just like Whirlwind .

‘Guess they’re not his personal guards for nothing . ’

I wasn’t able to let my guard down even for a moment .

When I was about to cleave his head off with my sword, a Phoenix flew towards me with great speed from above .

It was a ranged skill used by the ranger class, allowing hits on not just ground targets, but aerial targets as well .

It was an A ranking attack skill, so all it amounted towards me was a red crow .

However, I wasn’t sure what ability it may have .

It didn’t make sense, but it’s important to be always prepared .

Since my offensive capability was thousands of times greater than theirs, there was no need to overdo it .

‘An attack that is more defense oriented . ’

-CRACK!

The fire bird that flew towards its mark was obliterated .

When they all tried to attack at the same time, I used Glacial Field to spawn a frozen area on the ground .

While their movements slowed, I cast Meteor Call .

-CRASH!

Instantly approaching them, I landed Formless Sword Aura directly on them .

Without being able to do anything at all, they perished .

“KU… KUUH! Leader!”

“Tsk . ”

Looking at them, Ghost complained .

“Hey! I told you not to die in one hit . I wanted to see his physical attack skills too… . . ”

“I’ll show it to you personally . Oraaa!”
