Ch.114109 – Unique Magic Circle

A 1st Circle spell can be broken by a 2nd Circle spell, and a 2nd Circle spell can be broken by a 3rd Circle spell.

So if a 10th Circle spell existed, what could break it?

The answer is “nothing can break it.”

The mainstream opinion was that since the dimension’s limit was the 10th Circle, theoretically, 10th Circle magic would become one with the world and last forever.

But can we call something that cannot be broken “magic”?

It would no longer be appropriate to call it magic, but rather a phenomenon or the world itself.

I couldn’t tell if World of Arsheria borrowed this concept knowingly or unknowingly, but in the game there was something called “unavoidable judgment.”

It referred to attacks with extremely long startup animations that, once cast, were impossible to defend against unless dodged.

Of course, not all unavoidable attacks were fatal, but when combined with ultimate skills, their power was terrifying.

Giselle Fischer’s ultimate, “Divine Incarnation.”

The fire magic that burned everything within 50 meters in front had no counter.

Jin Chronicle’s “Ice Prison” similarly had the definitive role of binding targets.

But these were nothing compared to 10th Circle magic.

Therefore, it was impossible to declare with certainty how they would interact when they met.

However, one could predict that one side would definitely collapse.

Crash!

Giselle’s Divine Incarnation, aimed at me, shattered Jin Chronicle’s Ice Prison that stood in its path.

I escaped from dozens of ice pillars and brushed off the ice fragments embedded in my limbs.

Additionally, the steam erupting with terrifying force dampened the flames of Divine Incarnation.

It was the best scenario I could have hoped for.

-She’s free!

-How did she do that lmao

-So magic can interfere with each other?

-If she lured Giselle here planning this, NoName is truly a genius

-Giselle!Giselle!Giselle!Giselle!Giselle!Giselle!

-Wait, didn’t you say fire can’t beat ice…!

└ That’s only when she’s ice herself lol

└ So she can even overcome type disadvantages lol

“Good job, Adella. Now it’s time to pass the baton.”

“No… I won’t! I can fight with you! I will fight with you!”

Though Adella stood up again with determined will, her trembling legs were beyond her control.

“No… I can do it… I can, but my legs…”

She tried to force herself up by grabbing her unresponsive legs, but soon collapsed.

Where does that courage come from? I know this is a game, but to her, it must feel like reality.

“I can’t… if I fail here…”

“Heal.”

The healing magic deployed with just a word, without needing to cast. This is possible because we’re in a game world.

The bleeding stopped, and the blue bruises gradually faded.

“Huh…?”

“Did you forget I’m a healer? Come on, we need to fight together.”

“Hic… yes…!”

[Enemy Status Display ON]

[■■■■■& %^$#$ Jin Chronicle]

[HP: 666,666]

Even the HP is filled with 6s, staying true to the concept. This boss wasn’t designed with clearing in mind.

Considering Valum Benaons had 100,000 HP, I can’t help but sigh.

At least I should be grateful that the academy officials chasing us disappeared when the boss battle began…

The improvement over the first run is having a companion who can fulfill her role properly.

If we clear Act 1, the main penalty will be reset.

Though the accumulated growth stats lost due to reduced content won’t return, it means we can manage somehow afterward.

So perhaps this moment might be World of Arsheria’s greatest hurdle.

“Let’s do well… sis.”

Adella raised her arm sideways and offered me her fist.

It was a gesture commonly used among companions as a token of trust before important battles.

“Sis…?”

“Ah…? What did I just say! Not sis but NoName! I misspoke! It just slipped out!”

“Hehe.”

“It’s true…!”

Thud-

I bumped my fist against hers, her skin scraped and blistered.

“Let’s do well, my little sister.”

“Darn it!”

“Here it comes. Prepare.”

Jin Chronicle sprouted black tentacles from its back, separating us. It was a hideous form gradually departing from human shape.

“Waaaaaah!”

Adella jumped sideways in shock.

I also rolled in the opposite direction, observing the corpse’s transformation that changed moment by moment.

The skin writhed and swelled. Bubbles rose like boiling lava.

Black liquid from the popping bubbles gradually took form and covered the man’s entire body.

“Ugh… to think I almost became something like that… it’s horrifying just to imagine…!”

Adella shuddered.

“It’s definitely not a pleasant sight.”

“How can you be so calm seeing that! Don’t even think about dying again or I won’t forgive you!”

“I can’t possibly do that after you’ve come all this way.”

[The summoning of Yggdrasil is in vain. Is the blood-drinking tree the god you worship?]

“Speak so we can understand.”

[Cast: Friction Coefficient Adjustment]

The monster’s body staggered, but two tentacles roughly planted in the ground maintained its balance.

Adella infused her dagger with energy.

Dozens of rushing tentacles couldn’t block her path.

“Hiaaaah-!”

After dozens of sword strikes hit its body, the black skin repeatedly tore and regenerated.

Tentacles transformed into sharp needles shot toward her to pierce her body, but Adella dodged all the monster’s attacks again.

She’s pushing the monster back, but it’s too weak.

[HP: 659459/666666]

Adella couldn’t keep swinging her sword forever.

When the monster’s regeneration rate exceeded the damage taken, Adella returned to my side with a dumbfounded expression.

Occasionally there are beings like this.

While humans have only two hands and arms, they have dozens.

While one stab from a knife can endanger a human life, they remain unaffected by multiple stabs.

Most intermediate-level magical beasts were of this type.

“Huff… huff… what… what should we do…”

What I’m holding now is a broadsword taken from the academy’s student council president.

Similar build, similar weapon to my previous life.

Can I do it?

I was NoName, not Estasha Latias de Kaizen from my previous life.

Her entire life was a continuous struggle, but I had never fought in the real world.

Until now, I barely managed by retracing the path she had walked, but could I replicate swordsmanship imbued with extreme intent?

[‘HoYaMuYaHo’ donated 5,000 won!]

-NoName, fighting! You can do it!

Right. Let’s forget about the girl named Name for a moment. Right now, you are NoName, the strongest forest guardian and a streamer with 20,000 supporters.

With that strong conviction that I could recreate the movements from my previous life…

Whiiing-

The sword, filled with blue energy, vibrated strongly and cut through the air fiercely.

“There’s a way. A being that has lost its reason has clear limitations.”

“Then tell me quickly! Can’t you see it’s still recovering!”

“From now on, we’ll stack hits on the monster’s body. You attack in order following the marks I engrave. It’s simple to follow my movements, right?”

“What?”

“Here I go. Since it’s the first time, we’ll start with 100.”

The first unique magic that Estasha developed at the young age of nine.

She didn’t name it at the time. I always felt embarrassed about naming techniques.

[Cast: Resonance]

[Joint Cast: Fatigue Strength Control]

Developing unique magic is incredibly complex.

Therefore, a simple magic swordsmanship composed of only 1st Circle magic should be praised,

But since this unique magic was designed from the beginning for two people to attack together, the first unique magic would never be used by her hands again.

I’ll resolve that frustration here. And your unique magic will be completed in that cat girl’s hands, so watch carefully. The name is.

[Unique Magic – Estasha Style First Form]

“Adella.”

[Adella]

* * *

-What is this?

-There are magic circles engraved on the sword? Never seen anything like this before wow

-It’s definitely 1st Circle though

-It’s not a magic bag, but there’s no end to these never-before-seen spells lol

-Let’s gooooo

It began with Name’s attack.

However, unable to use weapon-switching techniques or bug-like plays anymore, all her damage was reduced to 1/8.

Viewers couldn’t help but lament seeing her 400 damage heavy attack reduced to less than 50 damage of a normal attack.

Whiiing-

Eventually, rotating blue patterns appeared on the parts she struck.

The patterns were closer to gears than symbols.

By the time these neither slow nor fast gears were engraved all over the monster’s body, Adella joined the offensive with her dagger.

“Only I would accept such an absurd spell…!”

Clang!

At the exact moment when a gear completed one full rotation, Adella stabbed the monster’s body mercilessly with the same posture, the same attack, and the same power.

Clang-

Clang-

The sound of metal clashing against metal, normally heard in a blacksmith’s shop, echoed in the dead of night.

“Attacking exactly the same way at the right timing? That’s nonsense!”

Like following a ghost in a time attack, Adella’s movements perfectly overlapped with Name’s from three seconds ago.

Despite her complaints, Adella trusted Name.

She believed Name could show her something.

She firmly believed Name would have a mysterious strategy that could defeat even a monster with 660,000 HP.

The monster couldn’t understand their actions either.

Despite the gradually increasing sword speed, its HP still remained in the 640,000 range.

“Not yet, NoName?”

“Don’t start complaining already.”

-lololololol

-But they’re fighting really well

-Adella is an NPC so that makes sense, but what’s with NoName’s movement?

-For real, her magic is perfect! Her swordsmanship is perfect!

-Now if only her face was perfect!

└??

└?

-She’s barely doing any damage, is this okay??

-She’s even charging it again lol

-It still shows the magic is being cast, is this a bug too?

It was an accurate observation.

Name’s unique magic was still active.

By the time she had engraved all 100 gears, her sweat-soaked hair was sticking to her forehead.

“Stay focused until the end! We can’t make a single mistake!”

“You don’t need to tell me…”

97th.

Slash downward diagonally to cut off the monster’s heel.

98th.

Spin once in the air to gain sufficient acceleration, then swing horizontally strongly toward the chest area.

99th.

Using the rotational inertia from the previous attack, raise the sword high and strike down strongly toward the head.

And finally, the 100th.

Filling her retrieved sword with maximum magical power, Adella stabbed the dagger into the monster’s heart.

[Unique Magic – Estasha Style First Form – Adella]

“Break!”

Woooong-!

A resonance sound that shook the earth arose. Adella frowned as her ears suddenly went deaf.

“Kuhuk!”

However, the monster was affected much more.

Consecutive strong explosions occurred inside its body as if it would burst open.

Black filth shot up dozens of meters, and tentacles lost control and were severed as it writhed in pain.

The demon that had remained unaffected by countless joint attacks finally fell to its knees.

The HP bar best showed the condition of the monster continuously vomiting black filth.

[Critical Hit!]

[100 HIT COMBO]

[183110 DAMAGE]

[HP: 450374/666666]

-????????????

-183k lololololol

-183k what

-183k single magic damage?

-???

-???????????

-Their 200 combo hits together only did 30k total but one spell does 183k?

-What kind of dynamite did she make with 1st Circle lololololol

-This makes no sense lololololol

-How much would 183k be in real life? I can’t imagine

-1000 would be enough to destroy a steel wall

-Over 100k could split a building in half

└woooooow

└This is enough to get legally dragged to the intelligence agency

└Seriously need to check if she’s a spy

-What am I even watching
