Chapter 24: Vs Miledi

The moment I looked up, my instincts alarmed me of danger. I used my speed without a second thought and everything became slow at a snail's pace. I then started to move, I grabbed Hajime, Yue, and Shea carefully and sent them to the other platform one by one. I had to do this carefully, one wrong move and I might snap a limb or two, and it actually helps that their body is more resilient.

While I was moving Hajime, I noticed he was looking at me. It was not unexpected; I was not using my full speed anyway.

Unlike Hajime Yue wasn't able to notice me, and as for Shea, it looks like she was absent-minded. No, it looks like she is in a trance. Then I remembered she has that skill; it might have shown what would happen through her skill <Future Sight>.

After I made sure everyone was at a safe distance, I stopped using my speed and started to sync with the world. Suddenly Shea tried to grab me in panic, knowing what she was about to do I hugged her to make her calm, and spoke, "Calm down I know what you want to do, no need to worry we are safe now".

"..."

Shea at first tries to resist Rihito's hug, she has seen the future again, and this place is dangerous. She has to take everyone to safety or everyone will be in danger. She then heard Rihito's voice, "Calm down I know what you want to do, no need to worry we are safe now".

[Everyone is safe what does he mean], Shea confusingly thought.

Booom!!!

"!??!"

Shea heard an explosion behind her. She looked back to where the explosion occurred and she saw the same view as in her vision. She looked back at Rihito questioningly.

Seeing her questioning look I said, "We will talk later about this get ready something is coming."

…

Hajime and Yue were shocked to see the platform they were standing on previously was smashed by something.

Hajime spoke out unconsciously, "If Rihito hadn't saved us. We would have died there".

Hearing Hajime Yue nodded, "nn".

Then, Hajime and Yue heard that an enemy was getting near so both of them got ready to confront whatever was coming. Then we saw 2 orbs of blue light coming toward us from upward. Seeing that we prepared ourselves for the inevitable fight that was to come.

After a certain distance, it was seen those orbs were the eyes of a giant golem, which was closing in on us. The golem floated before us, creating a menacing atmosphere giving off the feeling of flight or fight, where our choice was obvious.

But just at that time, a cutesy voice was heard, "Congratulations~ You have made it to the final floor~", shattering the whole serious atmosphere.

"..."

The voice, which came from the Golam before us continued, "Nice to meet you~. I am the one beloved by all Miledi Reisen chan~".

"..."

"..."

"..."

Hearing her talking so nonchalantly, we were speechless not knowing what to say.

Miledi continued, "Hey, why are you guys not replying? It's good manners to answer when someone greets you right? Good heavens don't you youngsters have common sense nowadays?" she said in mock anger.

"..."

Hajime spoke up, "Oi… Miledi Reisen is supposed to be dead right? When we conquered Oscar Orcus's Dungeon, I read it in his diary. It was written there that Miledi Reisen was a human girl with a petite body and golden hair."

As they continued talking. I started to analyse the Golem. Her Golem's head alone was as tall as Hajimes body. From there I estimated her body size might be somewhere around 15 to 16 meters tall. Then with <Archmage >, I notice her magic core is on her chest which is reinforced with Enhancement magic and some kind of Regeneration magic.

"Regeneration magic", seeing that my eyes widened, I started to analyse it. I hoped to get regeneration magic, but instead, I got a <Regeneration > skill. This skill was similar to Yue's. [I was hoping to get the Regeneration magic. Oh well with this, Healing magic, and <Archmage's > never-ending magic supply killing me is almost impossible unless conceptual attacks are thrown at me.]

Just then I heard Miledi ask a question in a solemn voice, which surprised me, "Tell me. What is your objective? Why are you all gathering all the age of God magic?", her mood instantly shifted her bubbly personality was nowhere to be seen.

"..."

"..."

She asked us, "Why do I seek the age of god magic?", hearing that question I was stumped.

[Why? Because I wanted power? That's obvious, then what], I asked myself.

I was in a dilemma, I just realised that I don't have a goal for the future. I know sooner or later I will have all the 'Age of God magic', then what? I need time to think about it.

"Oi black head, why are you ignoring me".

I snapped out from musing and saw Miledi's Golem head was right before me.

"Why are you ignoring me? I have been calling you for a while now"

"Ah… sorry about that, I was just thinking about what you just said", I apologised.

"I see so you were thinking about your future goal," Miledi said.

"So did you find your answer", she asked.

I shook my head in denial, "I don't have a true goal in mind yet. For now, I will follow Hajime. Who knows I might find my own goal by following him around".

Hajime hearing my answer shrugged his shoulder and said nothing.

"I see~," she said in a singsong voice.

"Oi… I have one last question for you", Hajime asked in seriousness.

"What is your Age of god Magic", hearing that question everyone got serious and ready to fight.

"HMMFU FUFUFU~ that's I won't tell~ you have to find out yourself~".

Hearing her reply Hajime Gave a wild grin, "Then, DIE".

DOPANn!!

Clang!!

Hajime Shot first, but the attack did nothing to the golem's body. It was easily deflected.

"That preemptive strike was pretty good~. But an attack like that is not enough to defeat me. I am strong you know~? So be careful and don't die easily ~", Miledi said mockingly.

"Is that so, then what do you think of this attack", I used <Body Enhancement> and <Speed Strike>, then used my Muramasa's pointed tip to attack the chest of the golem where the core resided.

Clang!!

Crick!!

Crick!!

But to my dismay, it didn't pierce through the armour, at the very least it damaged her. But then I noticed the damage was slowly healing.

"..."

"Wow~ you almost scared me, too bad your attack didn't work completely, and I won't give you a chance to".

Saying that suddenly many of the knight Golems appeared behind her, and every one of them was holding a weapon of some kind.

"You see~ this is my power. Have you seen a flying golem? You are shocked right~", she asked in a glee-filled voice.

Bang!!!

Bang!!!

Slice!

Slice!

Boom!!

"Eh?..." seeing her Golem legion get annihilated Miledi uttered in a confused voice.

"Had nobody ever said to you you talk too much", Hajime said in an annoyed tone. In his hand, he was holding 'Orkan'.

On his side, Yue with her pressured water tank stops attacking the knight golam after shreading them.

"If they are floating that's just an easy target for us, and you are annoying".

Seeing the area was clear I got close to them, and Shea also followed me. Then I hurriedly explained, "There is a core inside her armour we need to destroy, for that, be ready to pull that out", I said to Hajime. Hajime understood what I meant and nodded.

"Now Shea be ready for my signal, to win this fight your follow-up is necessary", Shea nodded determinately. Shea didn't understand everything, but she trusted Rihito so she would do her best.

"First Shea and I will distract her. Yue use your previous attack to support us and prepare for a big spell, and Hajime in this window of time you need to prepare everything", to which Hajime nodded.

"Let's go", the whole planning took about 5 sec, but with our superhuman senses that was plenty of time.

"Oh~ so you guys planned enough~ should I give you a little more time~", Miledi mockingly said.

"No need that was plenty".

Then as planned Shea and Rihito attacked. Rihito attacked from the front and Shea came from the back. To fight back Miledi pulled out a morning star and clashed with me.

Clang!!!

She swang it erratically blowing me away. Then swang it towards Shea.

Shea blocked the attack with her Druken, just then Miledi's one of the previously summoned knights Golem appeared behind Shea and was about to slash her back. But before it could, Yue used her high-pressure water cannon to slash the knight.

Slice!!

Slice!!

Seeing Yue covering for Shea Miledi was impressed, "You guys' teamwork is quite good but it will take more than that to defeat me!! I have limitless regeneration you know".

"We know that. You thought we would forget", Yue responded.

She continued, "You should pay more attention in a fight".

Bang!!!

Suddenly something crashed with Miledi. The clash of impact was strong enough to through her to the nearest platform.

Boom!!

Their Rihito was standing on top of her armour with a grin and said, "Miss me".

…

After Rihito was bashed away.

"Damn that hurt, but this is a good chance to do a big attack", I activated <Superhuman Leap>, <Flashing Strike>, and <Slashing Aura>. Using these three I leapt toward Miledi.

Bang!!

Seeing I brought her down from the air I said, "Miss me".

My attack had cracked down quite a bit of her chest armour, but the same goes for my Muramasa [After this fight is over, I will make you even better], I thought to myself.

"If you think that's enough to win then you are delusional", Miledi retorted.

Sensing danger from my left I moved away. Where I was standing there was a floating morning star.

"Ah~ you dodged that as expected of someone who has completed Oscar's labyrinth. I should get serious as well", Miledi's tone was ominous.

Miledi started to float again and took the morning star at hand, "Let's begin round 2".

The moment she said that I sensed danger from up ahead. "Everyone dodge". Saying that I jumped away.

From every direction, one by one platforms were flung in our way.

Then suddenly Hajime shouted, "It's gravity magic".

"!??!"

"Wow~ you got it faster than I expected. That's right! My magic is Gravity~. As a reward for finding out my magic you shall be first to face this attack~".

Miledi's morning star transformed into a falling morning star. Miledi swung the mace in Hajimes direction at full throttle.

Hajime took a stance and used <Diamond Skin>, <Mana Burst>, and <Body Enhancement>. With the combined power of all three, he shattered the mase.

"Seriously? To receive it head-on like this…", Miledi was shocked She thought he would dodge but instead he took it head-on.

"How absurd".

"I have already seen a similar trap before, and this attack will bring you straight to death. Now go!!", Hajime exclaimed.

Taking this distraction I and Shea jumped at her chest. I pulled out two gauntlets and equipped them, then I used <Mana Burst>, <Speed Strike>.

=IMG=

Shea uses <Body Enhancement> with her Druken to attack.

Booom!!!

Both of our combined power was enough to send her flying to the nearest platform.

Yue took this chance to use the highest level of magic she could in this current state of mana decomposition, '<Cryo Prison>' many chains of ice shot towards Miledi binding her to the ground and freezing her Golam body.

Miledi asked in astonishment, "No way!?. Why can you use High-level magic here."

Yue answered, "Because when you were distracted by Rihito and Shea, I was constantly using my magic to spread water in your surroundings and waiting for my moment to cast magic. Although that still used almost all my magic".

"I see but I still haven't lost yet" just when She was about to continue.

I cut in, "You are too late for that", Hajime used my shoulder as a springboard and used <limit Break>, <Mana Burst>, and <Body Enhancement>. He used all three and attempted to use his Pile-bunker, at point blank he launched the spike. The spike almost broke through the armour but at the last moment.

Miledi somehow managed to free her left arm and attack the Pile-bunker to change the trajectory.

Miledi attacked Broke the Pile-bunker, but the spike released from it was stuck in the armour.

Miledi gloatingly laughed and said, "Hahaha… what a shame~~!! You were so close~".

Hajime snarled, "You talk like you have already won".

Ignoring Miledi I shouted from the back, "Go Shea! Now is your chance to end it".

Shea roared using her Druken to push the Spike inside finally smashing the core inside.

Miledi shouted in panic, "WWHHHAAATT!!!!... NNOOooo!!!".

Bang!!

Crackle!!

Crick!!

Crick!!

Crackle!!

Boom!!!!
