Ultimate Magic

“Golems using magic…?” (Leon)
Leon doubted his eyes at the scene he was witnessing for the first time in his entire life, even considering his past life experiences. More than 30 golems created by Meltera were each using magic to produce rock chunks.
“This is the ultimate magic I developed with the goal of defeating the Hero!” (Meltera)
It was no wonder she proudly puffed out her chest. The creation of golems that could use magic to produce rock chunks was an unprecedented achievement that no one had ever accomplished. To be honest, even Leon, who had reached the level of a Great Magician, had never even thought of such an idea.
“It’s certainly not impossible in principle… But still, how much mana and parallel processing capability must be needed for this number?” (Leon)
What was more surprising than the golems using magic was that all of this was being done by a single person.
“Now, let’s see if you can endure this.” (Meltera)
30 golems producing one hundred rock chunks. In other words, 3000 rock chunks surrounded Leon completely.
“…Defeat the Hero, huh.” (Leon)
It was as expected, Leon thought, as he pulled his cheek in a wry smile. Immediately after, 3000 rock chunks were launched. He was only able to intercept the first few. Before long, he couldn’t keep up with the onslaught and took a direct hit to his shoulder. He had wrapped his body in fighting spirit to protect himself, but the impact still reached deep within his body. And it kept coming, one after another.
Staying in one place would make him an easy target. Realizing this, Leon kicked off the ground and moved. The enemy immediately adjusted its aim, so he couldn’t stay in the same spot. He kept moving, making it harder for them to lock on to him. Even so, he couldn’t fully evade everything. The damage was rapidly accumulating. But at the same time, Leon was starting to respond to the barrage of rock chunks.
Since they were all flying in a straight line, the trajectories of the rock chunks were easy to read. Gradually, his eyes grew accustomed to the movements, and he was able to deal with them with minimal effort. Furthermore, instead of destroying the rock chunks, he learned to deflect them with light taps, changing their trajectories. As a result, the rock chunks would collide with each other and cancel each other out. Before he knew it, he was able to predict the trajectories of the rock chunks coming from all directions and avoid them without taking any damage.
“Hoh, not bad. But how long can you keep this up?” (Meltera)
He had already survived 3000 rock chunks. Yet, the onslaught still didn’t seem to end, likely because new rock chunks were being formed.
“…This is really tiring.” (Leon)
He could easily keep going with healing magic, but since he didn’t want to reveal his mana, he couldn’t do that. At this rate, he would be worn down little by little. It would be a relief if the enemy’s mana ran out first, but the elven girl still seemed to have plenty of energy. However, Leon had already devised a way to turn the tide.
“Leave it to me~!” (Sura)
Sura had bypassed the battlefield, making her way along the walls to get behind the elf. At this point, Leon was also a Tamer. There were other ways to fight besides using swords or magic.
“It was a good thing I taught her the stealth skill.” (Leon)
In fact, Leon had also taught Sura how to move while concealing her presence. Being a small slime that didn’t breathe, it was easy for her to learn. Meltera had no idea that Sura was even there.
“Take this~!” (Sura)
Sura leaped at Meltera’s back. That elf was undoubtedly at a high level, but even so, a mage’s low defense meant that if Sura’s charge hit, she wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
*Boom!*
“!” (Meltera)
Sura collided with Meltera, and the small elf was sent flying, only to stumble forward two or three steps.
“What the… That hurt! …A slime? How did you get in here?” (Meltera)
“I didn’t hear anything!” (Sura)
Surprised, Sura bounced around happily, but Meltera glared at her.
“To think that a mere slime could deal any damage to me now… I’ll praise you for that. And die proudly knowing that.” (Meltera)
She launched a sharply pointed rock chunk. It spun at high speed, aiming directly for the fleeing Sura. Even with her extremely high durability, Sura would likely die if she took that hit head-on. The next moment, Leon cast:
“—High Boost” (Leon)
He cast body-enhancing magic on himself.
“—Gravity Zero” (Leon)
He used gravity magic to temporarily reduce his mass to nearly zero.
“—Air” (Leon)
With wind magic, he minimized the friction with the air and gained propulsion from a tailwind.
*Boom!!!*
He kicked the ground with all his might. Before he knew it, he had already passed the rock chunk that was rushing toward Sura.
“Sura is my familiar. I won’t let you do that.” (Leon)
“Leon!” (Sura)
With a swing of a spare mass-produced sword, Leon struck. The blade shattered into pieces, but at the same time, the rock chunk split in half.
“What… That mana… You… Could it be that you are a Hero—” (Meltera)
Before Meltera could finish her shocked sentence, Leon kicked the floor again and closed the distance between them in an instant. He then slammed his fist into her small stomach.
*Thud!*
The elf flew like an arrow and slammed into the wall.
“Sura, are you alright?” (Leon)
“I’m fine!” (Sura)
After confirming Sura’s safety by picking her up, Leon immediately ran toward Filia and Mina, who were standing dumbfounded at the entrance of the room.
“We’re getting out of here!” (Leon)
“Eh?” (Filia/Mina)
He picked them up with one hand each and made them cling to his waist.
“What are you—” (Filia/Mina)
Without any further explanation, Leon ran toward the large hole in the wall that had been created when the golems were destroyed.
“No way…” (Filia/Mina)
And then, Leon jumped into the open sky.
“Aaaaahhhhhh!” (Filia/Mina)
