Chapter 180 - Thanks for giving me a lesson

Ohm!

Souta’s pupils turned red and his body emitted a fearsome crimson aura. Then, a figure of a woman with a pair of horn materialized behind him. The woman behind him wasn’t a physical body. It was made of pure and dense energy.

Ohm!

The woman seemed to be laughing at the state of Ranny. She then opened her arms and hugged Souta from behind. Her body fused with Souta and it increased his power greatly.

Boom!

A powerful beam broke the ceiling easily. The whole ground was shaking nonstop and everything seemed to slow down.

"Vanessa... I’m sorry..." Ranny muttered as he looked at the powerful beam that going down towards the whole place. He already accepted his death and he would embrace it without hesitation.

[Quicksilver]!

Souta waved his hands and a silver orb appeared in his hand. The silver orb expanded and it swallowed everything.

All the things inside the silver orb have their speed slow down by half, no, it feels like the time slow down inside the silver orb.

The debris of rocks and the beam slowed down including Ranny. But there’s an exception to this and that’s Souta.

Souta released the vajra sword in his hand and he looked at both of his palms with a surprised expression. The vajra sword simply floated beside him.

"This...? What the hell is this body?" Souta’s voice was different from his normal one. Right now, the voice of a woman resonated every time he spoke.

Saya, the will inside the [Vajra Sword Saya], was the one who’s controlling Souta’s body.

She felt that all the spells that Souta knew were imprinted in his inner soul. It means that all of Souta’s spells were an inner spell. Not that she mentioned it, she recalled how Souta spammed the [Shadow Bind] and [Shadow Spike] spells in the Gripen city.

"How did Souta imprinted all these spells in his inner consciousness?" Souta muttered with a surprised expression on his face.

Saya couldn’t believe what she discovered inside Souta’s body. A normal person wouldn’t choose any spell as their inner spell. They would only choose a powerful spell that was compatible with their fighting style as their inner spell.

Imprinting three magic circles in a person’s inner consciousness was already hard but Souta’s inner consciousness had a total of nine magic circles. Nine magic circles in one’s inner consciousness weren’t that surprising. In ancient times, there were people capable of imprinting nine magic circles in their inner consciousness. What shocked Saya was Souta didn’t care about it. It feels as if... as if Souta could imprint all the spells that he knew in his inner consciousness.

"Well, let’s not think about it for now." Souta shook his head and placed all this thought in the back of his mind. He then looked at Ranny.

He opened his palm and grabbed the handle of the vajra sword beside him.

Thud!

He then turned around and looked at Yuko. He pushed her away and placed the tip of the vajra sword on her chest.

[Power Absorption Shield]!

Swoosh!

A three-layered barrier formed around Yuko. It will protect her from any harm. This barrier was a tier 3 spell and Saya was sure that this spell was enough for Yuko to not die from the power of [Bestrou].

"5 seconds left..." Souta mumbled as he looked at the [Bestrou] that was shooting down towards them.

More than this, Saya would lose control over Souta’s body like what happened in the Bullmar village. That’s why most of the people that she possessed in the Bullmar village were attacking other people like a zombie. The energy that she stored inside the sword was quickly disappearing because of her constant use of powerful spells like [Quicksilver] and [Power Absorption Shield].

He simply swung his sword and blood spurted out of Ranny’s neck.

Putchi!

Souta looked up and took an orange potion in his pocket. This orange potion was a monster potion.

He threw it in the air and slashed it. The potion was cut in half and the orange liquid was absorbed by the vajra sword.

"This is enough..." He muttered and pointed his sword above him and charged powerful energy.

Ohm!

A red energy spun on the tip of the sword like a razor. This was no ordinary energy as there was a huge amount of best feram spinning inside it.

It expanded and it shrunk before Souta shot it towards the [Bestrou] above.

[Heavenly Crimson Ray]!

A soon as Souta shot this powerful spell, the [Quicksilver] spell disappeared. Everything went back to normal speed.

Boom!

The [Bestrou] and the [Heavenly Crimson Ray] spell collided causing a distortion in the air. Powerful waves of energy sent ripples in the surrounding area before it caused a huge and powerful explosion.

Boom!

The explosion swallowed a huge part of the Fersch dukedom. Everyone around the land saw this huge explosion. Even the village near the dukedom saw it from far away.

A huge mushroom of smoke and dust rose up. Everything in the diameter of five kilometers was annihilated. The explosion corrupted the mana in the air and every that inhaled it will experience intense pain in their mana pool.

...

Lumilia, Brando, and Bryan saw a blinding light in the duke’s mansion before they heard a deafening sound. It was followed by an enormous explosion that could swallow up the whole Fersch dukedom.

The ground shook heavily and it didn’t stop at all. Cracks formed on the floor before it collapsed.

"Whoa!" Bryan looked up at the explosion with an amazed expression.

Brando and Lumilia felt the explosion was sucking all the mana and air in the vicinity around the explosion.

"What’s happening...?" Lumilia muttered as she felt a huge amount of mana was being sucked by the explosion.

"Souta, just what did you do?" Brando muttered while looking at the explosion.

...

Swoosh!

"Huff... Huff..." Souta was standing alone in the pile of rocks. His chest was heaving up and down. He was exhausted and tired. His body was full of wounds.

He waved his hands and casted a powerful healing spell.

[Revitalize]!

The wounds in his body started to close at a rapid pace. After a few seconds, all grave wounds in his body was gone. Despite being a powerful healing spell, there were still a few wounds and bruises over his body. It couldn’t completely heal the wounds caused by [Bestrou] of the peak third evolution monster.

"I’m done, I’ll leave it to you. I already minimize the damage of the explosion so the Fersch dukedom is still standing up..." He paused for a moment before he added, "I’m going to sleep for one month to recover my strength. I hope you’re still alive after I woke up. Don’t become overconfident in your skills as there’s a lot of powerful creatures in this world. I know that you understand it."

Souta closed his eyes and he fell to the ground.

After a few moments, he opened his eyes. Souta stood up and patted the dust on his body. Saya was not controlling his body anymore.

"Damn!" Souta cursed out loudly. Because of his one mistake, this happened to him, Yuko, and Saya. He should have decapitated Ranny at that time when he have the chance.

He was mad at himself as he became overconfident in his skills and abilities that led things to become like this.

"Argh! F.u.c.k!" Souta heavily stomped his foot on the rocks beneath his feet.

Bang!

Souta then took a deep breath to calm himself. He lost his composure there.

"I still need to do something..." He said as he turned his head and looked at the thick smoke around him. The smoke was poisonous to ordinary people but it seems that Saya did something to his body so that it would not affect him.

The smoke slowly disappeared as the wind blew strongly. What appeared was the huge body of the dark vine stinger.

"Thanks for saving me, Saya. And thanks for giving me a lesson today." Souta said as he stretched his arm and he grabbed the handle of the vajra sword.

He looked at the dark vine stinger with a cold expression on his face. He knew that this monster was severely injured. Because of that explosion, the monster received grave injuries in its body. Also, when Ranny died its inner consciousness took some damage as the contract was forcefully destroyed by killing Ranny.

The monster orb on its back has a crack on its surface.

The dark vine stinger was too weak right now but for Souta’s current strength it was still a strong opponent.

The chances of him defeating this opponent were fifty percent. The best feram in the air was thin and Souta could cast his spell with this condition.

"Okay, let me handle you," Souta said while looking at the dark vine stinger and he took out a red potion in his pocket. It took the cap and drunk it without hesitation.

After drinking one potion, Souta took another and drunk it again. He kept doing it until he runs out of health potion.
