Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 272 - Versatile, Jack Of All Trades And The Versatile Battle Maid (XI)

The Magic Circle is much bigger and based on the runes and symbols on the Magic Circle, I am perfectly sure it is a 7th tier magic. It's a pretty common magic circle among magicians who already got their class upgrade.

But, the only creatures capable of unleashing a magic circle of this caliber are boss monsters and some Elite Tier enemies that have the job or affiliation to magic knowledge. I have never seen a boss that is just a goop use magic of this scale.

The magic immediately fired off, and from the looks of it, it looks like the modified version of [Dark Ray], a 7th tier magic that only the Magician class up, Black Magician can use. However, this one is much more powerful since this version [Dark Ray] is more focused and only appears as one beam compared to the [Dark Ray] that Black Magician's form which is scattered and smaller beams to deal with multiple enemies. This one is specialized to deal with AOE damage while maintaining itself as one single beam.

"[Magic Jammer]!"

BOOM!

My magic and the [Dark Ray] collided. It was pretty strong and even with [Magic Jammer] that nullifies the [Dark Ray], the pressure is quite strong that I need to exert more force to stop it completely.

As soon as the magic ended, I also stopped defending with [Magic Jammer] and grabbed one of the Scrolls.

"[Heavenly Chains]!"

The chains immediately tried to bind the goop, but when it did, the chains just passed through the goop like liquid and the chains disappeared.

"Tch, so [Heavenly Chains] doesn't work huh, well then. [Ice Prison]!"

After casting [Ice Prison], I also imbued my weapon with the Ice element using the [Ice Sword] ability. If the monster has the composition of Water, I can halt its movements with Ice Magic and finish it with Electric magic.

"[Attack Up]! [Defense up]! [Magic Amp]!" Lina on the back raised her Morning Star and my body felt the light amount of energy flowing to me. I can also feel the power flowing within my body and my armor seems to have gotten shinier. With the buff she gave me, my damage is amplified.

"HA!"

Striking the Versatile Weapon to the goop, it just easily got pierced and I think I just stabbed something but felt much smoother than a jelly. But before I can even do anything, the goop that I pierced with my sword made its move and swallowed my body. It was quick and I didn't get to react immediately as the Versatile Weapon is also sucked in to the body of the goop.

"Master!" Everyone inside the Summon's area shouted in unison as I got myself entangled in a sticky situation.

However, this is a good timing. Although this one is just a goop, I know there must be a weakness inside like some core that keeps it alive just like how a slime does. The gem atop of its head is also one weakness I am considering but it is already moving without it before so I doubt the gem on its head is the main core. More like it is a backup core in case the real one is damaged.

However, compared to my expectation, the goop doesn't have the same properties a slime has. Slimes has at least hard exterior but liquid interior. Once something is swallowed by a slime, it was like they are swimming inside its body before it gets digested or melted. This goop is like being encased by a jelly that suddenly goes hard after a few minutes of air exposure. Also, its suffocating here, even though it is a game, I can feel the suffocation feeling too. It was like I am drowning even though there's no water for me to drown.

I struggled moving and I can't move my sword. It's like the goop is preventing me from doing anything. Seeing that I can't do anything, I decided to brute force myself out of this sticky and disgusting situation.

"[Earth Fissure]!"

My Versatile Weapon vibrated and it didn't take a matter of seconds before the goop's body exploded, releasing me from its captivity. Without wasting a single second, I changed the Versatile into a hook and chain and used it so that I can get out of the body of the goop before it gets to reform again.

As soon as I get out of the area, Lina jumped and catches me mid air before landing far from the goop.

"Master? Are you hurt anywhere? Did that goop tried to melt you or something?"

I coughed a bit after regaining back my regular breathing process. Thankfully, this was a game so I managed to recover back my breathing. Also, I didn't drown in the water so that is also one of the reason I managed to recover my breath.

"I am alright, Lina. More importantly, this thing is not even close to a slime. I thought it would have a similar properties to a slime and it can be killed like how a regular slime should be killed, but this bastard is not even one."

Gazing at its health bar, I discovered that I managed to damage it quite a bit. It's health is now down to 2,763,904 HP. That is a big damage considering it didn't give much impact. Maybe because I did it inside its body that it caused itself to reduce a lot of its health.

The Undying King Goop started to cast another 7th tier magic but this time, it is an Earth Magic this time. Seeing how the cave's surroundings started to move, I quickly identified the skill it is using.

"This f*cker also knows [Earth Rupture]!? Lina, if you still have mana to spare, release your strongest magic to the goop. I will also try to attack it too."

"Roger!"

Lina started to channel he magic ability to her hands. As for me, I looked around the area for a good scope of what to do next. Then, something struck through me.

The dead flesh tentacles that has been killed by Lucia's abilities, isn't this technically a corpse of a monster? I am not too sure but since they died after getting bombarded with Lucia's [Hellfire], they must be alive before, right? So then, this would be a treated as a corpse.

Ever since I got the Necromancer class, I didn't have the opportunity to properly use it since I rarely use corpses to fight back. However, isn't this going to be a good time to test out the ability of a necromancer right?

I looked at the wall of withered fleshy organism that is dried up after it was killed from [Hellfire]. Although I am not sure what will be the result, I still decided to use this chance. There is no harm trying. Pointing my hand, I activated the ability of the Necromancer, [Necromancy: Raise the Dead].

"STOP PLAYING DEAD AND RISEUP."

A magic circle appeared in my palm and it started spinning wildly. A notification appeared before me.

"[Warning. You are attempting to resurrect a huge creature. Thr bigger the creature, the bigger the mana intake. Are you sure you want to resurrect the [Flesh Blood]?"

YES/NO

Flesh Blood? Huh, so this thing also has a name? I thought the undying king is the one who formed it. Turns out, this is another creature itself.

Without hesitation, I clicked Yes. In a split second, half of my Mana Bar was depleted. The effects of my passives are also in effect but the mana it ate was still a lot. If I didn't have the mana reducing passives, my whole amount of mana in my MP bar might have reduced to zero.

The cavern shook and the dead tentacles that are no longer moving started to move. However, they are no longer looking like a flesh mass of rotten meat. They are now covered in black color and they seemed to be moving like a big monster.

I still have no idea what this thing is capable of, but I decided to test it out against the Undying King.

"ATTACK THAT BASTARD!"

I pointed into the Goop and it didn't even waited for me to say what it should do. It suddenly unleashed its tentacles and it grew and wrapped around the goop's body. Compared to the [Heavenly Chains], the goop was not able to get use its special ability after the Flesh Blood wrapped itself on the goop.

"Lina! Now!"

Lina's closed eyes opens and her Morning Star is now imbued with magical ability.

"[STAR OF MISERY]!"

The morning star weapon she had immediately extended itself and when the metal ball of spikes is about to reach the goop, it suddenly grows large and a dark energy suddenly envelopes it before it made contact, creating a huge explosion.

BOOM!

The goop that holds the red gem immediately disappeared like it got dissolved after it was struck hard by the [Star of Misery]. The red gem flew into the air and before it goes back to the goop, I changed my weapon into a bow and arrow and sniping it from afar.

"[Trueshot]!"

CRACK!

The arrow made contact with the gem and upon contact, the gem explodes, revealing a small round ball of red energy swirling around like a miniature black hole in space.
