Chapter 15 Fight Against Magni And Daggus (Part I)

[N/A: In the previous chapter I made a mistake by saying that telepathy is obtained for creatures because they don't talk...this is wrong. Beasts can talk, it is simply obtained at level 15 for all races. Sorry for my mistake, it is corrected. Happy reading!!!]

-- POV Freya --

The moon shone with a heavenly glow as two creatures could be seen running through the thick trees of the forest. A sphinx followed closely by a she-wolf as black as night. That wolf was me and that sphinx was Magni. I had to adapt my speed because I was much faster than her which made me curse her silently in my mind.

*Why is she so slow?*

[You were slower than her just a few days ago.]

My progress was extremely fast, so much so that once my mission was complete I decided to finally leave Syn's forest. For now I had to focus on the fight that was soon to come in these woods.

"Wolf, we are coming."

"My name is Freya."

"Yeah whatever, if you want my help listen to what I say and don't be a smartass."

*Tsk..*

We had arrived at the territory of Daggus the lightning lion, I expected to find a cave as well but this was different. His lair was in fact a small abandoned castle made of ruins and moss surrounded by burnt land. The fort was small, but big enough for a single animal. On the blackened earth all around the building, animal skeletons of all kinds littered the ground and I could see for the first time human bones, torn sacks and blood-stained armor.

Since the castle was further away, we had to sneak into this graveyard.

*I didn't know that humans passed through this forest.*

[We haven't come across any yet, but if they are the dominant race in this world, that makes sense to me.]

*I'd like to avoid running into them until I have my humanoid form to infiltrate a city and learn more about this world and the standard of a human.*

[Statistically speaking when I compare your evolution after killing higher level creatures, I can tell you that I'm pretty sure you can get it after this fight].

*Nani?! That would be great news! But how? Daggus is level 19 and Magni is level 16, they're nowhere near level 30!*

[I'll explain with a simple example. When you fought Warg, he was level 14 and you were level 11, so you had enough EXP for 3 levels. That is, the number of levels that separated you at the time you killed him. In this fight, if everything goes well, you will gain enough EXP to go up 7 levels at once. So it's a reward worthy of the task].

*That sounds fair enough, but what about the other 8 levels?*

[This is still a theory, but when you go back to free Gaya, it might be that sucking mana out of the air before it disappears with the "devouring chaos" skill can get EXP back as well as from the corpses. Since Gaya's mana is of a much higher level, you will go directly to level 30. Of course this is only possible with the Chaos element of the Goddess Titania. Only you can do it].

*Wow, I'm impressed Kira...you know how to exploit every single skill in the system to always find a way for me to grow quickly. Thank you!*

[You're welcome onee-san, but it's normal because I was born with the system in the first place, so it's natural for me to look into all the options concerning it. It should be used to the fullest].

While I was thinking about how precious Kira was to me in every sense of the word, we had already reached the foot of the castle. Everything was in ruins and looked as if it had been abandoned for ages, but the most confusing thing was that a lion was standing above the ramparts.

He was a brilliant golden color, almost blinding, his silky yellow mane waving in the wind and his circassian blue eyes looking down on us with challenge. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

*I did well to take Magni with me.*

These numbers were crazy because he was level 19. All of his stats were above mine and the sphinx's, I had to follow my plan and avoid a direct confrontation for now.

"YOU!!!"

Without even having time to think of something, Magni was already flapping his wings and soaring to the sky above him in a rage.

[You made a mess there onee-san.]

*Kufufufu ~ indeed*

Just as I had expected, Daggus didn't even try to find out why Magni wanted to kill him, he just looked at her with disdain. The sphinx climbed higher and higher in the sky to almost be under the clouds.

"Rock transform and fall like a shower: RAIN OF ROCKS!!!"

Round shaped rocks the size of a fist formed in dozens above the castle. They seemed to be animated with their own wills as they crashed into the ramparts. I could see the lion muttering something when suddenly his golden body began to crackle. Lightning had appeared all around his body easily protecting him from passing projectiles, it was his "Lightning Armor" skill. Daggus stood there motionless and provoked Magni with his single condescending look as the rain of rock rained down on him.

Unfortunately, his overconfidence suddenly ended as the speed of the projectiles and Magni's height increased. Flurries of rock came at the lion as he tried to dodge.

[Golden Lion Daggus - HP: 47,899 / 50,000]

"HAHAHAHA so what do you think of my power??"

Perched high in the sky, Magni was laughing out loud and hadn't noticed a sword made of lightning bolts heading straight for her. When she saw it, it was too late to completely dodge and she was hit in the leg. The sword would have torn her leg off if she had not acted in the second.

"Aarrgghh"

[Sphinx Magni - HP: 32,180 / 35,000] 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

I, who had access to their statuses, could tell that Daggus' attack was very powerful, if Magni hadn't dodged and had a defense to match she could have died instantly.

"How rude you are Magni to greet an old friend in this way."

Daggus's voice was husky and low, neither warm nor cold, and it rose up from the ground with power.

"I don't want to hear anything from you, you will die here and now!".

As she threatened him, the sphinx swooped down on the lion like an eagle on its prey. Daggus had lost all desire to discuss and prepared to fight her hand to hand.

The paw strikes flew to its golden body reinforced with lightning bolts while its jaw snapped on the reinforced stone body of the winged beast.

[ Golden Lion - HP : 45 321 / 50 000]

[Sphinx Magni - HP : 29 455 / 35 000]

The blows rained down between the two of them at an incredible speed, I was even slightly impressed that Magni could stand up to him despite the big difference in levels. Not wanting to lose this pawn too quickly, I decided to finally enter the fight.

Approaching discreetly I stopped at a distance of 200 meters before launching the countdown of the operation.

*5...4...3...2...1 GO !

When the signal was given, Kira conjured up infernal spikes of ice on Daggus' back as I threw myself at him.

[Golden Lion Daggus - HP : 40 203 / 50 000]

The ice had hit him and mixed with the lightning which slowed down the attack speed but still did some damage. Surprised and wounded by a discreet attack the lion turned around but I had already launched my claw skill tearing the flesh from his back despite the lightning.

"WH..."

[Golden Lion Daggus - HP: 39,100 / 50,000]

In terms of melee attacks I was the strongest, as my attacks represented my physical power coupled with my Claw (lvl 3) and Bite (lvl 4) skills. Using my speed to dodge the rain of rock that Magni had started to fall again, I asked Kira to make a wall of Ice appear under Daggus to push him upwards towards the sphinx's attack.

Both beasts seemed shocked that they had not heard an incantation but were too focused on the current fight to notice. The wall of ice had hit the link hard in the ribs, breaking them in the process.

[Golden Lion Daggus - HP: 38,500 / 50,000]

"Who..who are you?"

Gasping Daggus didn't understand who I was and why I had suddenly appeared to hurt him more.

"My name is Freya and I'm going to kill you both."

"Don't play innocent Daggus you...eh? Both of you?"

Not bothering to answer, I positioned myself in my fighting stance...I was ready to kill.

-- POV Magni --

*Did I hear wrong?*

It had to be, how could a young wolf as weak as her try to kill us both? Paying no further attention to her words I turned my attention back to the black wolf and Daggus. The ice spikes faced the sword made of lightning with incredible violence and precision. The craziest thing is that she was also able to place her physical attacks perfectly without ever worrying about her element. Moreover she did not make any incantation, who was she then?

I couldn't follow the fight anymore, the she-wolf was fast, too fast for me, and was linking elemental attacks and physical attacks without any difficulty.

Suddenly an ice pick appeared in front of me and planted itself in my wing making me fall violently to the ground !

*Damn it hurts!*

As I looked towards the she-wolf to try to understand what was happening, I saw a smirk stuck on her face as if everything she had said so far was true. My blood began to boil. Did she really want to kill me when we first met? No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn't understand why a she-wolf from nowhere would try to kill us. For power?

The questions kept coming up as I tried to suppress them as best I could to focus on the fight of my life.

*Arrrggg*

The spikes pierced me and with each blow, a burning sensation was felt on impact. This was definitely not normal ice. As I tried to protect myself as best I could, I felt a presence behind me...it was the she-wolf. Daggus lay dead at her feet, his limbs torn off, his insides gutted and his face contorted by...rage? Desperation?

The she-wolf was watching me intensely as a powerful and frightening aura came from her body. My body shook with fear and fascination as the black beast advanced toward me with its protruding bloody fangs twisting into a smile.

I was next...
