"Hahaha... finally it's finished my grand plan to victory."
Honestly, after looking deep into her, the information I gathered was sufficient and useful, so with everything I know so far I have concluded that it was practically impossible to beat her, she has over a hundred different types of spells such as fire lance, grand fire lance, and ultimate fire lance which is a nuke.
Her specialty is fire magic, and death magic, although my only saving grace is the fact that her speed and strength are low, so she can only summon fort, a certain amount at a time, and increased their damage and speed by sacrificing mana.
However, what makes this battle so unfair from the start is the fact that she is immortal as long as these goblins are alive she has a spell called, "Grand exchange, Mercy of the Death God" another one of the death magic that allows her to heal any life-threatening wound by exchanging damage with one of her children.
And if that wasn't enough she also can use a certain artifact called "Respawn Jewels" it is a legendary A+ artifact, she created herself by sacrificing the souls of hundreds of players all of which are C-rank, and above, and the crystals are blessed with the power to bring you back from the dead, she has about three of those lying around her neck in the form of a necklace, along with a lot of healing crystals.
Mix that with her instant death magic, along with all her other spells as a witch, then you get more than just a boss monster, she is basically an impossible-to-beat hidden boss for low-level players.
So in reality, the only way I can beat her is by trapping her into a contract, stimulating her greed, and by tempting her with power and words.
She took the bait gloriously, now all that is left is to power myself up for this battle, I have 15 stats points, and I wonder where I should invest these points too.
The decision had to be made quickly because right now the Queen was walking up her throne and when she sits down the battle will start, and that's when all hell will break loose.
I began to wonder if should I invest more in strength and just be an absolute unit for the entire battle, or maybe speed so I can escape and attack, till I kill all the goblins here.
Although stamina is also important, maybe I should increase defense to protect myself better, but just as I was saying these things, Lilith came forth and speak.
[My liege upgrade your Wisdom to +5, to unlock your magic attribute]
"Magic attributes, what is that?"
[It's the magic field you have the most talent in overall, but one can only use magic after been enlighten, while intelligence will aid you in furthering your magic skill]
"Ok fine I will do it, so let's put [+5] in wisdom and [+10] in Intelligence."
And right after I did that, the confirmation notification came forth, as it said as such.
[Notice. Due to wisdom stats reaching certain criteria, you have been enlightened]
[Notice. Your magic attribute has been awakened]
[Congratulations. You have awakened the magic attribute of Winter]
[Notice. Due to your mana being of the highest quality, along with both the holy and demonic elements attach to It, your Winter magic has evolved into Esoteric Winter Magic]
[Notice. Due to your attribute gaining a unique quality, your blood has also evolved]
Right after the awakening of my attribute, I began to feel a cold sensation all over, as the ground beneath me started to freeze, and the air began to get colder, the goblins before me, started to tremble due to the sudden drop of temperature.
And knowledge of how to use my magic began to flow in my mind, and that's when I realized magic is way harder than I thought, for example, one can only use spells that already exist, or created original spells, magic in a whole is very stat dependent.
This means the speed of one magic depends on the speed stats, while the strength of it depends on the strength stats as well, however, you can ignore these laws if you use more mana to power it up, this is what most magic users of the old and new generation do to power up their magic, that's why if you're from a magic family having a large magic pool is essential for you to become a witch or a warlock.
However, one attribute can stem from one of three things, family as in your magic power has already come from your bloodline, origin discovering one magic attribute through the enlightenment of understanding of oneself, and succession, which is inheriting magic from a magic beast or a user.
In my case, it was the second, although enlightenment is the rarest magic attribute awakening due to the fact not everyone can understand themselves.
Now the process of creating magic, there are two ways, the first is existing magic, which is magic that has already been archived and taught, or original magic, which is birthed through imagination and emotions, normally original magic is unique only to the user as it's there creation but it can be taught to others.
However one must first pray to the world as if asking the world permission to cast it, and the
that's why chants are important.
However, in order to do that, in order to give form to what is inside my mind, I must pray.
And seeing that new knowledge of my attribute is flowing through me, I more or less know what I need to do, if I can't beat her in quality, then will just have to beat her in quality.
So right before I began to think about what I should do to create my own original magic, I take one quick look at my stats, to see just how far I stand in this impossible battle due to the level difference, and this was what it said.

[Magic]
- Esoteric Winter: A unique form of winter magic that is unique only to the user, it changes not only the surrounding of the user, but spells can be cast for offensive, defensive, and supportive magic, although the nature of the user's ice does not only freeze physical things, no it can freeze invisible things as well, what is invisible will be up to the user enlightened mind, to strengthen your creativity or to create a spell depends on the caster imagination, you need to upgrade intellect and wisdom, and depending how powerful the spell is, will also depend on how much mana is required to cast it in the first place.
"I see, it's so clear now, so this is enlightenment, now when this battle starts I will be at a serious disadvantage, so I need to cast a spell, that can at least give me a winning advantage."
But as I said this I heard a voice shortly after, as Necroma said.
"Now then boy, I shall make this quick, if you surrender now, then you don't have to feel the pain nor the humiliation that is to come in this pointless match."
I did not answer right away, Instead, I just gaze at my hands as I notice that my aura was now transparent, yes there was no color, it was as if I was wrapped in a cold invisible force.
It shocks me, but at the same time it amazes me, and when I began to picture what spell I want to create, I began to wonder and concentrate on the word "invisible"
What can I create on the spot using such limited time that is not cost-efficient nor too complicated, and that is when it hit me?
Invisible + Snow Magic = ???
"Hehehe.... well it's a crazy idea but it's worth a shot, if I can actually freeze something like that then this magic might be one of the most powerful magic that exists."
But as I think about this, Necroma began to speak once more as she said.
"You shall regret signing that contract, maybe if you behave I might grant you the honor of becoming my new vessel after I turn you into a female like myself, of course, and maybe I can create a new goblin-succubus hybrid."
And right after she said that, she crossed her legs, and gaze down at me as if underestimating me, I can see it she is no different from the bullies at school, with that look of superiority, she think she is hot shit because she has an advantage well, I was originally going to best you using trickery but there might be hope I can face you head on, even if it's for a short while.
Her eyes glow as she began to chant and what appeared behind her were fifty giant flame lances and two spirits of death.
"I hope you are ready because I'm coming with intention of killing you."
With those words said, the aura around her began to swell, and the flames began to get hotter as if it was been empowered by mana.
And while I stand here I could only say.
"Well, I guess it's time to try the chant I just created, hopefully, the world would permit me to use this newly invented magic of mine."
From there I began to say my chant.
"Foolish coward, who hides behind a persona made of kings."
"Forever trap in between strife of hope and despair, that is thy sin."
"Helpless within a snowbound misery, I loath the cold, and dread the happiness."
"Yet my only desire is to grasp it within my own two hands, so I shall live as a coward."
"And fight as cowards, as my shadow now stands with the world itself."
"Beckoning an importance that is not mine, and yet I bare it alone, and so it shall stay."
"Conceptual Cryostasis!"
Boooom!
The sound of all the flame lances could be seen hitting me and upon impact, a loud explosion was heard as a giant pillar of fire could be seen, the ground melted instantly and goblins nearby disintegrated into nothing.
As the Goblin queen looks down upon me preparing to use one of her crystals to heal me and break me over, again and again, her plan for victory was simple, she was going to break me, putting me on the verge of life and death constantly, as she heals me, eventually, my mind would have withered down, and as I say her name to acknowledge defeat.
But it didn't go down that way, because right after what could be heard, were the steps of a man with a giant sword on his back, normally that attack was supposed to badly injure me, however, when I walk out, it was if the attack didn't touch me at all.
It surprised her a little, but meanwhile, I gaze at my hand while it was glitching as if were some kind of error, I smile wickedly to myself as I said.
"So this is original magic, hehehe I could get used to this."
But right after Necroma said.
"I'm surprised that didn't hurt you, so you are durable, well I expect this much from an archduke, but can you take this much."
The Goblin queen said to me as she summon fort a hundred more fire lances, doing quick chants.
"Now then show me what you're made of."
