Chapter 118: Magic Shall not Prevail!

Momoka, who fell to the ground, didn’t feel any significant pain from the blow on her face. She looked sternly at Ji-woo, who was still holding the fire arrow.

Previously, she had treated how Ji-woo was able to disperse the magic as part of a trick. And now, the fire element created through Manifestation Magic was held by someone who didn’t use the ability.

Magic that went through Manifestation shouldn’t be able to get neutralized or erased like ordinary magic. Even an ArchMage couldn’t do that. Magic Manifestation was the highest manipulation ability of all existing elements.

Ji-woo threw the flaming arrow to the ground. He knew the magic couldn’t dissipate as usual when it made contact with his body. That was why he dodged those attacks.

Meanwhile, the fire arrow that Ji-woo threw was still burning and not extinguished. The ground also got scorched because of it.

Commonly, hunters would use magic and form it from the elements of nature. However, the magic spell did not last long. And would disappear as if to signify that what got borrowed from nature would return to nature. But, that was not the case with magic that used the Manifestation Magic ability, which wouldn’t disappear unless the user allowed it or died. It was like making magic without any laws of nature at all.

Act like a god who created something out of nowhere.

“So, you can’t get hurt by magic? Whatever form it takes?”

Hahaha!

Momoka laughed while getting up from the ground. He admitted Ji-woo was a being who wouldn’t get hurt by any kind of magic in any form. He also attributed it to the oddity of Ji-woo not having Mana. It made sense since magic required Mana, and Ji-woo didn’t have Mana causing the magic might not work on him.

Ji-woo rolled his eyes, displeased at the antics of Momoka, who continued to talk even though the two didn’t understand each other. He charged with full speed, creating a cloud of dust behind his trail.

Momoka saw the incoming attack, curling her lips. She burst out her Mana Presence and slid to avoid Ji-woo’s punch to his left side. She then hit back with the wooden staff to his stomach.

Ji-woo bounced to the ground. Surprisingly, the counterattack was even more painful than before.

“Cute boy, who doesn’t know himself. Just because you have a little strength, already feel arrogant and equal to me? How funny. Let this big sister teach you a valuable lesson.”

Ji-woo got up and wiped the blood from his mouth. Momoka really irritated him to the fullest now. It was because he couldn’t understand a single word every time the woman opened her mouth.

“Retarted bitch! Keep on uttering gibberish, and I’ll kill you in a minute!”

Ji-woo didn’t think much of it and charged again toward Momoka. His dash caused a small explosion on the ground where he had been standing before.

Momoka smiled gently and increased her Mana Presence again, thus, pumped her overall strength to new highs. She knew what she had to do. She used the Mana she had for melee combat power because all magic would be useless against Ji-woo.

She ducked her head to avoid the punch and struck Ji-woo in the stomach again with her wooden staff. But this time, Ji-woo didn’t get pushed back and held the hit pretty well.

Ji-woo then grabbed the wooden staff and pulled Momoka closer, trying to land a knee hit on her face. It didn’t work because the knee strike got blocked with Momoka’s right hand.

Ji-woo continued the attack with his left hand despite the situation that he and Momoka had clutched each other.

However, Ji-woo’s third attempt still didn’t pay off when Momoka opened her mouth and shot a fireball from it.

Ji-woo gritted his teeth and endured the attack. Anyway, he got full-blown to the back and rolled several times on the ground, leaving some marks on his way there.

Momoka stretched out her right arm, and a fiery sword appeared in her grip. The wooden staff was also covered in electricity and formed a spear on it.

She was really solemn and wanted to kill Ji-woo once and for all. She not longer playing around and was curious about Ji-woo’s existence, which was full of mystery because he didn’t have Mana and could enter the Portal Gate.

Ignored the absolute rules of the Universe Gateway!

She also categorizes Ji-woo as a threat to their plans just based on those weird things he had. She couldn’t let an unforeseen factor undermine her desire to see the world fall into ruin and misery.

Ji-woo rose from the ground for the second time in a row. He ignored the blood in his mouth. But instead, he held his chest, which got hit by the fireball. It was a Magic Manifestation, and he couldn’t totally dissolve it. His armor got charred on the chest, and there were red marks on it.

However, he couldn’t relax and instantly got himself together. A spear thrust came swiftly, aiming for the part of his head. He overtook to the side and was lucky to dodge by barely scratching his skin.

Even though the Magic Manifestation wouldn’t work on him, the sharp-edged part would still be able to injure him.

It was like a high-quality weapon. And it could get crafted at will and also appear in the blink of an eye.

That was very sneaky and sleazy!

Unfortunately, his plan to close the distance with Momoka got shattered after the flames sword came from his left. He was motionless and couldn’t help but block the slash if he didn’t want his head to get targeted. He raised his left hand, supported by his right, to make a solid defense.

Bang!

Momoka was surprised that Ji-woo was able to block the swing of the flames sword. More importantly, she could feel the attack didn’t get connected and did not cause a mortal wound to him.

“Tch! Cockroach or what? So hard to kill!”

She grumbled and attacked again, leaving no room for Ji-woo to breathe.

On the other hand, Ji-woo got crushed to the ground again like the previous two for the third time. His appearance was shabby, and dust was all over his body and clothes. His left hand that blocked the flames sword dripped blood onto the ground. There was a cut but not deep in Ji-woo’s forearm.

He spat his saliva to the side, not discouraged by the blood. He was ready and welcomed Momoka’s attack with open arms.

Then, he nimbly and swiftly caught the swing of the fire sword from above his head that wanted to slash from top to bottom. He blocked the slash with both his palms and further roared to muster a bit of strength to break the flames sword in two.

But, Momoka didn’t just throw the opportunity away, where Ji-woo’s hands were not free. She thrust the electric elemental spear in her left hand into Ji-woo’s right thigh.

It broke through, and Ji-woo tried to endure the pain by gnashing his teeth. His two hands quickly grabbed Momoka’s shirt and pulled her closer to him. He slammed his forehead against Momoka’s head.

Momoka fell with her eyes closed because the impact was quite painful and made her forehead red, with bruises. She let go of the electric elemental spear on Ji-woo’s thigh.

Ji-woo then took out the electric spear and used it to attack Momoka, who fell on the ground. The electrocuting effect didn’t work on him. He kept his movements even though his thigh got pierced and blood was dripping onto the soil.

However, Momoka swiftly raised her right hand, and the electric spear stopped mid-strike.

No matter how hard Ji-woo pushed the electric spear, the result was the same. It didn’t move one bit. It was because Momoka was the user of the Magic Manifestation. Thus, she was able to control that form of magic however she pleased.

Meanwhile, Momoka managed to get up and motioned her right hand. It made the spear slip out of Ji-woo’s grip and back into her hand.

Ji-woo also didn’t fluster and kept charging at Momoka. She retaliated against his melee with countless electric spear thrusts.

Ji-woo stopped in his tracks and used both hands to block the spear’s rapid thrust. He had no chance to dodge and was unable to approach Momoka further.

In just 30 seconds, the area where Ji-woo was standing and defending already got stained with blood. His clothes and skin were scratched and torn irregularly. He finally got pushed back from his original position.

The last thrust of the spear managed to tear down Ji-woo’s defenses. Eventually, His hands fell languidly. His body was wide open now without any protection.

Momoka didn’t say much, immediately stabbed the electric spear into the part where Ji-woo’s heart got located.

Ji-woo stood motionless and spurted blood from his mouth. When Momoka drew the spear, blood dripped from his chest and mouth until he finally fell to his knees and then collapsed to the ground.

“Heh, what have I told you before? Brat, you’re dead! Ugh, my forehead hurts so bad!”

Momoka dispersed the electric element on her wooden staff and massaged her neck. Suddenly, she heard the voices of two people saying the same sentence.

“Magic shall not prevail!”
