42) Hell's Blaze

I turned around to see a huge monster with one eye. It was so huge that it takes half the size of the trees around. Its eye started glowing red and it shot a giant laser at me. I barely dodged it using physical enhancement magic and sense magic. I used analysis magic on the monster. It turns out to be a one-eyed cyclops which was made using the magic of the spirit king. Although I couldn't use it now I copied it for future uses.

I detached the inferno blaze and attacked the monster. It had hard skin so my blade couldn't pierce through it. It counter-attacked at a fast rate. it seems this monster is faster despite its giant appearance. In this situation, the best solution would be to go for its legs. I coated the blade with flame magic and slashed it. I was able to inflict damage on it but it dodged me before I could cut its leg off.

The Cyclops instantly regenerated the wound. It seems it also has a high regenerative power despite the hard skin. It also counter-attacks me almost every time to the point where if I let my guard down for a second I will die. I tried using the flame-coated blade many times but it kept healing until I got an idea.

When I was combining magic in the time chamber I created hell flame magic by combining dark magic and flame magic. Hellflame spreads slowly but it makes it impossible to put the fire out unless the user wishes to. So it can spread slowly and block regeneration.

I tried combining my dark magic mana into one of my blades. The blade became purple-coloured. Now this blade has evolved from Blaze to Hell's Blaze. I used Hell's Blaze and cut its legs. The part which was cut couldn't heal back. The Cyclops was shocked and I used this opening to cut several places of its legs.

I then slashed off both of its legs. The Cyclops's eye started glowing red. Until now it was grey so I guess it has a cooldown time. But it was too late so before it could shoot the laser I cut off its head. The Cyclops's body started to disappear into thin air. Only the eye of the Cyclops and some of its skin remained.

So I used analysis magic on the eye and found out that I can use the laser which was used by the Cyclops if I have this eye. It seems to be a rare drop with a 0.000012 per cent drop rate. I also cannot get more than 1 Cyclops eye of the same element. So I learnt 2 things, first monsters in this forest have a small percentage of dropping an artifact and you can only get one type of artifact once. Lastly, there is more than one element of each drop meaning there is more than one type of the same monster.

Since I have infinite luck I don't have to worry about drop rates. This eye of the Cyclops has the Burn status effect which causes additional damage to me if I got hit. In other words, it's just a nerfed version of my hell flame. I used analysis magic on the hardened skin and found out that it is used as a crafting material.

I used blacksmith magic to create a pair of gloves using the hardened skin. I combined the eye with one of the gloves and created the glove of hell which had the eye of Cyclops in the middle. I can't always carry the eye in my hand so This makes it so that I can shoot it as long as my palm is open and it is not on cooldown.

The cooldown for the Eye of Cyclops is 1 minute so I just need to not miss my first shot. The burn effect combined with dark magic upgrades into the burning hell effect which burns the enemy from the inside and due to hell flame's effect it won't stop unless the affected person is dead. But it is just slow and painful. I suddenly heard a huge explosion in the distance.
