Outrageous Summoner - Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Spirit Carving Summoning

However, when she raised her sword and tried to take the opportunity to attack, her legs went limp and her strength suddenly dissipated. She could not help but bend her knee and kneel on the ground with her sword.

“Huh?” You Chu noticed the abnormality of his spell spirit.

Then he immediately noticed the smoke flying around the huge body of the Stinging Beetle, and the faint glow of tiny stars between the smoke.

He immediately thought of the special skills that certain insect race spell spirits had been introduced in books.

“Poison scale powder?”

“Did you notice? That’s right,” the masked man said calmly. “The special skill of the Stinging Beetle is ‘Poisonous Scale Powder.’ It will continue to release poisonous powder. All spell spirits within a meter of it will be affected, and their attack power will continue to decrease.”

You Chu frowned.

‘Che, such a underhanded skill. How shameless.’

He hated people who play underhandedly the most in his life.

If he had the ability to fight fair and square, what kind of a man was he if he poisoned and plotted against others?

It had not been long since Moonlight had approached it, and it was not greatly disturbed by the poison. However, this momentary interruption was enough to let the Stinging Beetle recover.

In just an instant, the bug had pulled its head out of the pit, and its vision had barely recovered.

It seemed to be very angry at the enemy for using such a despicable method to trick it. It roared angrily and turned to attack Moonlight again.

Moonlight half-knelt, barely able to raise her sword to block.

The impact from the Stinging Beetle’s forelimbs shook the sword fiercely, causing her arm to ache violently. She almost lost her grip on the sword.

She and her sword were knocked far back. Her combat boots plowed a long, deep hole in the ground.

“Spell card-high-pressure water gun.” You Chu sent out a card to support.

(High-pressure water gun]

(Spell/Effect: Summon a pillar of water to attack the opponent.]

A condensed stream of water shot out from the card and hit the armored bug’s hard shell head-on. However, it was like a torrent washing over a solid rock. It could not even cause any interference.

“Such a low-level spell is useless against the it,” the masked man said coldly. “Break the Light Swordsman, Moonlight!”

“The Moon God Barrier!” You Chu said.

Moonlight held the hilt of her sword in her right hand and extended her left.

Skill—Moon God Barrier!

Stinging Beetle’s scythelike forelimbs blasted sparks off the golden barrier, but they didn’t penetrate the defensive line.

“Break through that barrier,” the masked man said.

The Stinging Beetle raised its forelimbs, as if gathering its strength for a destructive blow, determined to shatter that barrier.

However, he did not expect that the moment before the attack landed, Moonlight suddenly removed the barrier, pulled out her sword, and rolled on the ground, almost dodging the fatal blow!

The bug’s forelimbs stabbed into the ground almost touching her tumbling body. The force shook the entire hall, and dust fell from the dome.

Stinging Beetle: !!

When the Stinging Beetle saw that Moonlight had suddenly recovered its dexterity, it was shocked.

What about my poison?

Moonlight jumped into the air, spun around, and followed the momentum of the spin to strike the shell.

Violent sword energy swept through the hall. The power gathered on the insect’s shell and almost overturned it.

The Stinging Beetle continued to be astonished.

‘You’ve recovered your strength too?’

‘I planted a fake poison?’

The masked man had already reacted. “That “high-pressure water gun’ just now… Is that it? Did you use water to disperse the scale powder? That’s a smart response.”

But then he changed the subject.

“But even so, it’s impossible for your spell spirit to recover completely from the toxic effects just now. She’s still no match for the Stinging Beetle.”

Indeed, the poisonous scale powder was temporarily diluted. Moonlight had just caught her breath, but her combat power had not completely recovered.

Moreover, the Stinging Beetle would continue to release new poisonous scale powder. Soon, the concentration of poisonous scale powder around its body would rise again and surround its entire body like a protective barrier. Meanwhile, You Chu did not have a second high-pressure water gun to use for the time being

However, another card appeared in front of You Chu.

“Activate the spell card, Lightning Flash,” You Chu said.

(Lightning Flash

[Spell/Effect: Specify a spell spirit. The spell spirit will temporarily obtain the enhancement of the power of lightning. Attack will obtain the effect of lightning.)

The electric snake hissed and wrapped itself around the blade in Moonlight’s hand, sizzling and jumping.

“Increased power through the spell tablet?” The masked man shook his head. “But even if she used a spell of this level, it’s still not enough to make up for the difference in the power of our spell spirits. She still can’t…”

“That remains to be seen.” You Chu smiled.

As he spoke, the spell spirit did not stop fighting. Moonlight’s gaze was cold as she held her sword that was covered in lightning and rushed towards the Stinging Beetle.

The masked man frowned slightly.

Even if he used a spell to enhance it, it should be difficult for the Light Swordsman, Moonlight to defeat his Stinging Beetle. Unless the opponent was a water-type spell spirit-because the effect of lightning-type spells like “Lightning Flash” would greatly increase when attacking water-type enemies.

Unfortunately, the Shell Destruction Bug was not a water-type, but an earth-type spell spirit, so this move was useless against it…

The masked man thought for a moment.

That’s right, not only did the high-pressure water gun just now dilute the poisonous scale powder around the Black Beetle… it also washed over its body!

Wet. AVI.

Although the Stinging Beetle was of the earth attribute, the water attached to its body would undoubtedly multiply the enhancement effect of “Lightning Flash”, causing Moonlight’s lightning-infused sword to explode with twice the power!

However…

The Beetle’s wings flapped faster, and a stream of air exploded from under it. Its huge body suddenly accelerated and rose vertically into the air!

‘That’s right. It can fly!’

Although this big insect was not that smart and did not expect the water on its body to increase the power of lightning spells, its instincts also warned it that this sword was very dangerous and it could not take it head-on!

Light Swordsman, Moonlight was a ground combat unit and did not have the ability to fly. As long as the Beetle flew high enough, she theoretically could not touch it.

Next, as long as she waited for the effect of “Lightning Flash” to end and the concentration of the scattered poisonous scale powder to rise again, she still had no chance of winning against it.

But—that did not matter!

Moonlight jumped up without any confusion. Her combat boots stomped on the shattered floor tiles, and a transparent wave of air exploded. She was like a rocket rising into the sky as she chased after the Beetle in the air!

At the same moment, a pitch-black whirlwind appeared out of thin air under Moonlight. The rising airflow provided by it made her speed

up!

That was the last support from You Chu!

(Local Whirlwind)

[Spell/Effect: Summon small whirlwinds in the local area.)

Moonlight suddenly accelerated with the help of the whirlwind. The blade, flickering with lightning, approached at high speed. The Stinging Beetle immediately realized that disaster was imminent.

Oh no!

It tried to swing its forelegs in a counterattack, while trying to beat its wings to orient itself, but it was too late.

The sword light dragged the flickering lightning as it slashed at the solid shell. The water that covered its entire body jumped violently and exploded with sizzling sounds. Sword qi and lightning intertwined, and a dazzling light bloomed with the body of the mid-air destructive worm as the center.

There was thunder that shook the heavens and earth!
