Chapter 348 - Episode Forty-Eight - Levi The God of Water (2)
I fly around the spear-wielding Levi with the Metsutori and raise my wand to create a magic circle, ready to unleash the next spell.
“Wind!”
A blade of wind swirled above Metsutori’s head, creating a disc about five meters in diameter.
The Abel ball is a spreading, wide-range attack, while the Abel Saw is an ultra-thin blade of kinetic energy that specializes only in cutting.
“Why is it not hitting!”
Metsutori dodged Levi’s spear by flying sideways.
As it dodged, a huge diamond-shaped mass of water, the mass of a man, rained down on us like hail.
I turned to look and saw Sateria pointing her staff at us.
“Don’t forget that I’m here, too!”
The lump of water is also the Dragon Vein’s Technique.
With such a strong defense, the Dragon Vein’s magic is probably just as powerful.
I don’t want to waste my magic power by guarding too hard.
While maintaining the Abel Saw, I deployed a magic circle in parallel and give instructions to Metsutori.
It is possible to automatically evade it, but if the lump of water has the effect of disrupting Metsutori’s warding, it will lose control of the force field and we could be swept off our feet.
I decided to keep my distance.
I turned around and tried to approach Levi again.
I accelerated, aiming for the moment when Levi was holding his spear to intercept Metsutori.
There was a moment when Levi was blocked by his own raised arm and his vision narrowed.
I took advantage of this moment to disappear from the expected trajectory.
Levi lost sight of Metsutori and his movements froze in confusion.
“Here!”
I fired the Abel saw at Levi’s chest.
As with the Abel ball, the water from the dragon’s veins appeared on Levi’s chest in the form of a shield, blocking the blade of the Abel saw.
… even this won’t get through?
Even Kudor has given up on trying to defend against it, and focused on evading it, though.
This might be hard, I have to stop waiting and seeing what happens, and start getting serious, too.
“How pitiful, Abel! Even if you try to block my sight with your tricks, you cannot deceive the shield of the dragon vein! Give up now!”
Although the Abel saw’s propulsion was hindered, it still maintained its rotational speed.
“Le-, Levi-sama …… please get that thing out of the way somehow …… away from the people ……”
Sateria is panting in agony in the spherical field.
“What kind of nonsense are you talking about, Sateria? That mad dog has treated me like crap for a long time now. I’m not going to let him get away with it.”
“Levi-sama ……?”
“Behold, Abel! Shudder and praise me! This is my power, the power of the four great creator gods!”
As soon as Levi said that, he stabbed the water spear into the ground and wrapped the Abel saw with his free arms.
A shield of dragon veins was created in the palms of both hands, rapidly dampening the rotation of the Abel saw.
“N-No way!?”
The Abel saw’s rotation stopped.
Levi’s palm crushed it through the water of the dragon veins. The wind blade disperses.
“Hahahahahaha! Is this your trump card, Abel! Looks like I didn’t have to be this cautious!”
Levi laughs and pulls out the spear that was stuck in the ground.
“Hah, hah, gah! Le-Levi-sama, it’s no use, any more, any more and ……”
Sateria is breathing hard, looking exhausted.
“What kind of nonsense are you saying! Is that the extent of your beliefs!?”
Sateria’s body can’t take the relay of the dragon vein, and it’s wearing her out.
If that’s not a pose, then if I keep firing the Abel Saw, she’s going to be the first to go, but …… when that happens, she’s probably not going to okay.
I can also try to use Levi’s spear to see if you can’t penetrate that defense.
…… But i can’t carelessly use it against Levi and let him regain possession of it.
The current Levi with the Dragon Vein will be able to use his spear with a power unmatched by the last time, and he will even be able to manipulate the “Fate Distortion” to make the spear hit the target!
There’s no way I can carelessly use it against him in this holy land.
“Abel-chan, this is not the time to be thinking about anything else. The other side is trying to harm us, so we can’t be naive about it. I’m sure she’s ready to pass out before she dies, and I’m sure she’s ready to die. “
Peter warned me.
I nodded.
“…… I know.”
I raise my wand again and prepare the Abel saw.
“Wind”
I can fire up to four strokes of the Abel Saw if I want to.
But if I unleash all four at once, the way things are going now, it could really kill Sateria.
I want to take one at a time and see what happens. If that doesn’t help,……, then I’ll have to use the four-stranded Abel saw and also Levi’s spear.
When I flew close to the palace, I saw a strange reaction from the Ortem that I had placed on the Metsutori.
I deployed a magic circle and instructed Metsutori to move it away from the palace.
I thought I saw something glowing in the air, but the next moment, the walls of the palace were torn apart by something, and part of it collapsed.
L-, look out!
What the heck was that? Was that another attack using the dragon vein?
It was as if a large number of wires were cutting through it.
“Tch, he’s got a good instinct, it missed …… I don’t want to use it too much. “
Levi blurted out.
“Sateria, take cover! If you’d attacked now, we could’ve led them to our position!”
Sateria shakes her head silently while holding her chest.
“You can give up now!”
I throw the second Abel saw at Levi.
Levi thrusts his arm out in triumph.
“Ha! It doesn’t matter how many shots I take, it’s useless! Against my magic power in my prime, you’re magic is equivalent to trash!”
The four fingers on Levi’s right arm were severed by Abel’s saw.
Levi turned his body away in anguish and astonishment. The Abel’s Saw continued to wound Levi’s cheek, shaved the flesh from his shoulder, and disappeared into the sky.
“…… Huh”
“Guuuoooooooooooohhhhh! Saaateriaaaaaaaaaa! Yoooooouuuuuuuuuu!”
I didn’t really aim for it, thinking it would be blocked anyway, but I should have aimed for it as well as the first shot, with a bit of finesse.
“I-It’s no use, Levi-sama ……”
Sateria muttered with a pale face.
“What’s no use! You’ve been dragging me down a lot! You, you ……!”
“I have already lost more than 40% of the magic power of the dragon vein that has been protecting this country for 10,000 years since the time of mythology. Any more, any more and …… the holy land, the Levi Church, and the country will cease to exist.”
Sateria said with tears in her eyes and her lips trembling.
“Eh, already!?” “Eh, already!?”
