The Mysterious Black Magician

Chapter 369 - Black Flame

GWEEE!!!

The Boss Bacteria screeched after one of its heads was cut.

It moves as if dancing. But he knew the reason was that the enemy was hurt. As the large chakram flew towards him, Yman noticed that the mouth of one of the heads lit up. The shining head has what looks like whiskers on either side of its head. It's like a long ear.

While waiting for the chakram to return to his hand, he noticed that the mouth of the shining head had opened wide. Yman felt that the opponent was planning to do something. He was right. A second later, from the enemy's open mouth, purple objects were forming. Those things are sticky and like gelatine.

Some could be seen leaking below. "Purple mucus," Yman muttered after seeing it. His eyes squinted, but the expression on his face was still calm.

Yman concluded that mucus has a bad effect on the body. It can cause bothersome illnesses such as cold, headache, fever, and so on.

Nonetheless, he needed to raise his guard. As he expected, the monster shot purple mucus that looked like a laser beam. But it is not made of any solar or what energy.

Instead, it was a purple mucus beam.

Although he was capable of avoiding it, he realized that it might cause even more damage to his body if he did that.

Luckily, his big chakram returned at the right time. Yman caught it and immediately blocked the incoming Mucus Beam. The hole in the middle of the chakram closed and it now looked like a shield.

BLAM!

The Mucus Beam splattered on Yman's Chakram Shield. They overflowed and spread in different directions.

He was pushed back slightly due to the unexpected force of the Mucus Beam. Yman braced himself. Then, he used Strengthening ability and was accompanied by other basic skills that strengthened and gave him extra strength.

The beam only lasted a few seconds. When the beam ended, Yman immediately created a new chakram. Thanks to his experience, it is easier for him to make Firedolls or weapons such as Chakrams or drones without needing to undergo the process of storing them inside his Cyber Storage or by activating his Black Mana. His ability in creating them seems to have improved quite well. Of course, his skill in controlling mana helped a lot.

It only took a second for him to mold a new chakram. He created a smaller one, then threw it without a second delay. It almost hit the head that released the Mucus Beam but was blocked by the other head.

Klang! Ping! Pong!

Surprisingly, the skin of that head was very hard. Sparks flew right away in their confrontation. Their rivalry lasted a few seconds before Yman's chakram returned in defeat. After the chakram returned in his hand, Mucus Beam immediately fired at him. Yman could do nothing but block it again with his Chakram Shield.

BLAM!

His feet receded again due to the impact. It is even much stronger now than before. Good thing he succeeded in blocking it. Again, he immediately released the smaller chakram to cut the head that releases Mucus Beam.

This time, he used the Fortification ability on the chakram to make it stronger and faster. Yman noticed that the spinning noise of the chakram was more intense this time. However, a metallic scraping noise was what reached his ears. The other head was still able to block his chakram.

Like before, it did not succeed in cutting the head with whiskers.

"Hm, it looks even harder than I thought," Yman whispered in dismay.

But, something worse happened. His chakram even broke. Again, the opponent unleashes a Mucus Beam.

Fwoosh!

Still the same. He needs to catch it with his shield. The only problem is that if it continues, he might eventually lose in this battle.

BLAM!

Yman felt the beam is a lot stronger this time. He didn't know that such powerful bacteria were living inside his body. This is probably the reason why his stomach hurts and sometimes he feels dizzy.

Whatever happened, he needed to get rid of it.

He noticed that the mucus had spread around him. "It's not good. Since I am in spirit form now, the mucus does not affect me. But, that's a different matter to my physical body. This mucus can certainly have a bad effect on my body. And it might hinder Sistela's fight against Kiko," Yman thought worriedly.

While Yman and Sistela were engaging in different matches, some of them were sharing news about their fights. It was through mind communication. Well, they could do it as they were in resonance after all.

After a few seconds of struggle against the Mucus Beam, he was once again successful in defending himself. But Yman wasn't sure if he would last if it continued like this. He noticed that the opponent's attack was getting stronger.

But if he would not do something with the tough head, he'll have a hard time finishing off the head shooting the Mucus Beam.

'I must do something with that tough head,' Yman thought. Out of the blue, while he was pondering, something came to his mind. 'Wait. Now that I think about it. Since I am in my spiritual form, there is a chance that restriction in my physical body may not apply to my spirit form.'

Yman's pondering came to a sudden halt when at the corner of his eyes he noticed something was gleaming in red. He looked at it and saw that it was the eyes of the tough head that was gleaming.

His sense of danger told him that something was about to happen. Yman's sense of danger was spot on. A second later, something was moving in the purple mucus around him.

Then one by one, hairy long oval-shaped purple objects came squirming towards him. They were crawling towards him.

He stepped back and summoned Bat and Bird-type Firedolls one by one. Yman was able to create five Bird Firedolls and ten Bat Firedolls. They shot Fireballs and Flameshots towards the squirming little bacterias that looked like hairy slugs.

The battle against his Firedolls and the hairy slugs took place around him. Looking at the battle, the Firedolls were in the advantage. The hairy slug tried to spit mucus from their tube-like mouth. But the Bird Firedolls easily evaded them.

But since the Bat Firedolls weren't as agile as the Bird Firedolls, some of them took damage. The sticky mucus clings to their body. However, since they were not alive in the first place, they continued shooting flames.

But that didn't last long because they found it difficult to fly because of the number of sticky mucus clinging to them.

One by one, the bat firedolls fell. Every time a Bat Firedoll fell, it was immediately attacked by hairy slugs. The Bat Firedolls are slowly disappearing.

While the Firedolls fought, Yman confronted the Bacteria Boss. It still releases the Mucus Beam which further adds to the mucus around. Yman is already surrounded by them. And from that mucus, hairy slugs tiny bacteria crawled towards him.

Thanks to his remaining Firedolls, they hit the slugs approaching him. Their flameshot attack seems to be effective. Hairy slugs die directly when hit. But there is a problem. More and more hairy slugs are coming out of the mucus.

It got to the point that the Firedolls could no longer handle their numbers. Especially since even if they kill one, there will be ten or more to replace them. And they also seem to have no end because the surroundings are almost filled with mucus. It's like a sea of ??mucus.

Yman knew the situation was not good. In addition, their defense is strong. His Chakram is also unable to injure the stubborn head that blocks whenever he attacks the head releasing the Mucus Beam.

The situation started to annoy him.

Soon the Firedolls could no longer defend him. The hairy slugs bacteria also started crawling on his body as if swallowing him whole.

He tried to escape, but he had difficulty moving because it was so sticky. It only took a couple of seconds before Yman was swallowed in the tide of hairy slugs. Following it, soon the remaining Firedolls disappeared one by one like a wisp of smoke.

After a minute of silence,

KEEEEE!

The giant bacteria screeched so loud. Perhaps to celebrate his victory. However, a second later, the area where Yman was engulfed by the hairy slug tide lit up. From small gaps, beams of lights penetrated. This was followed by the blaze of strange black flame.

All the gathered hairy slugs were swallowed by it as well as the surrounding mucus. They all disappeared as if hit by a powerful solar flare.

Emerging from the scene was the figure of Yman in black hair. He was surrounded by black energy that resembles black flames. A wicked smile was on his lips. And a new determination was in his eyes.

In the competition, the evolved Kiko was strangling Yman, whose body is currently in control of Sistela.
